Elf Sandstorm Lord

Chapter 177 Population Concern
In order to better rebuild Changlong Town, Su Yan moved more than 100 refugees from Chushan Village.

In the past, they were just tenant farmers of Yuan Lin Yi Knight, and the land was not owned by them.

And now that the population has dropped sharply, it is also a good thing for them to be able to live in Chimelong Town with better conditions!
In the temporary meeting room of Chimelong Town, several people sat around a sand table model, which had the detailed topography of Chimelong Town and its surroundings.

On the wall behind the main table, there is also a map of the entire Qinchuan County.

This conference room is in the Uburg built by Baron Yan Zhen. It is not small in size, but the atmosphere of the meeting is a bit silent at this time!
"So, although the territory of Baron Yan Zhen exceeds [-] kilometers, the terrain is not good, not to mention mostly dangerous mountainous areas, and there is very little land suitable for farming!"

Su Yan sat in the main seat and said with a gloomy expression.

As soon as he took control of Changlong Town, he immediately searched for the money, food, and information he had retained after the beast tide.

Fortunately, despite some looting, some stored grain and various materials were still found in the underground secret room of Baron Yanzhen's Wu Castle that was isolated from the ground system energy by special materials for exploration.

Although the quantity was small, the valuable treasures were all taken away by Yan Kuan when he evacuated.But for Chimelong Town, whose population has dropped sharply, it has also greatly alleviated the food crisis!

As for the situation around the territory of Chimelong Town, Su Yan also had a rough understanding of it from the mouths of some elders in the lord's mansion.

Although this barony has more than [-] kilometers of land, the population of Chimelong Town is only a little over a thousand.

Even if the only village in the territory, Changlong Village, is included, the population is only about [-].

This is why the strongest elf in the former Baron Yanzhen is only the wind speed dog at the top of the "class". After all, with such strength and resources, he is really at the bottom among the barons!
However, after this beast wave, Su Yan gathered the survivors in the town and found that there were only about two hundred.

And coupled with the refugees from Chushan Village and the original population of Huoshuo Village, the people under this rule can only hold about [-] people.

For a lord who covers nearly one hundred square kilometers, this is really too much to handle!

In particular, although Su Yan now has a baron-level land scale, he cannot legitimately be promoted to the title of baron because the population cannot meet the standards.

Not to mention that once he has this title, it means that he is a true noble.

In the future, when interacting with other forces, not only will I have more confidence, but it will also be more convenient to propose cooperation or transactions!

"In order to recruit more people, we still need to prepare some snacks to increase the population of our territory to more than a thousand as soon as possible!" Su Yan said.

"Don't worry, sir." Gu Hong, the new member, said:
“In this beast wave, there should be many villages like ours, Chushan Village, that have been left behind by the Knight Lord.

And after the people in these villages become refugees, as long as someone is willing to accept them, they will definitely not refuse!

Most of the surrounding towns are still besieged by the beast tide.

As long as we can find it, no one will compete with us for the time being. "

Su Yan nodded and said: "After the beast tide, there will be a shortage of people everywhere, and these refugees are a very good resource.

We must take advantage of the advantage of eliminating the threat of the beast tide first, and act quickly to gather the refugees.Otherwise, it won’t be long before you have to rob it from someone else’s house! "

"Don't worry, Lord. All our Dark Crows have been dispatched, plus some Flying Mantises. They are looking for information everywhere. I believe there will be news soon!" Zhao Hao said.Zhao Hao and others now also know that Su Yan has basically stepped into the rank of baron, and is only half a step away from being a true noble!
Therefore, it is impossible to call them by their first names as casually as before.

At least in front of others, he, who grew up with Su Yan, cannot ignore the rules of this era!
Just as he was talking, a member of the security team who came from Fluorescence Village suddenly came to report that Captain Han Feng had discovered a group of suspicious armed men while patrolling outside the town.

Just looking at this subordinate whose eyes became calmer, Su Yan couldn't help but feel that everyone has changed too much in the past few days.

These security forces looked lazy and cowardly just a few days ago, but after the two blocking battles in the rift valley and on the hills, their temperament changed drastically.

Perhaps, this is how an elite soldier is raised!Even if their role in the battle is minimal.

But as long as you experience such a purgatory life and death scene, subtle changes will occur.

Su Yan was thinking that if he could survive a few such battles, he would naturally become an elite soldier in all battles!
Then he thought about how the Northwest Province was going through such tests all the time.

Therefore, those who remain in the end will definitely be better at fighting than people from other places.

Of course, this is likely the case for the small group of armed forces discovered outside the city.

With this in mind, Su Yan ended the meeting early and rode a tropical dragon to check it out in person!

.........

Outside the city, a group of people riding elves confronted Han Feng's team at a distance.

It's just that unlike Han Feng, he was the only one riding the Wind Speed ​​Dog, and only Kentero was sitting down.

On the opposite side, except for the wind speed dog headed by Wang Ming, the other five people were also riding flame horses that were more powerful than Kentero, and their momentum was even better!
At this time, Knight Wang Ming felt very surprised.

In his opinion, it would take a few days for Baron Dewey to have enough strength to send troops to Chimelong Town if his territory was threatened.

But a group of people appeared in front of him, which disrupted his plan.

First of all, the knight riding the Wind Speed ​​Dog was so young, which made him feel more in awe of Baron Dewey's strength.

But what the hell are the guards riding Kentero behind him!

Although, when it comes to battlefield charges, Kentero is naturally not inferior to Flame Horse at the same level. It can even be more effective than the latter if it can gather a team of Kentero with "intimidation" characteristics.

But after all, the flaming horse is a symbol of nobility. After all, Baron Dewey has the longest inheritance among the nobles around him. How could he be so careless about his own image!

As for the suspicion that the other party was not a subordinate of Baron Dewey, Wang Ming did not consider it at all.

After all, he had served under Baron Yan Zhen for so many years, and he knew the strength of the nobles around him.

Amid the threat of the beast tide in the secret realm, he could not think of anyone other than Baron Dewey who could divide his forces to occupy Chimelong Town while protecting his own territory!
