We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

"As a technician, as a scientific worker, I must report to you truthfully."

The teachers who led the team shook their heads regretfully, "The soil near Kazdale is really not suitable for growing any crops. The soil here cannot support it."

"Why does this happen?"

Teresica asked curiously.

"First of all, the soil here is not suitable for growing crops. We have not tested any nutrients required by plants. Then we have separated a large number of Originium-infected objects from it. Generally, there should be no such things in soil. "

"What is that? Is there an underground source of minerals?"

"No, if there is a source stone mine, then what we separate from the soil should be the composition of the source rock."

A teacher explained: "Originite-impregnated substances generally appear near battlefields, especially in areas that have been repeatedly bombarded by a large number of Sourcestone techniques. The harder they are bombed, the more they will be bombed. This ingredient will seriously hinder the growth of plants, but here The ingredients are ridiculously high, why are there so many of them?”

After hearing what these people said, Teresica sighed helplessly. After fighting for more than 200 years, how could it be any less?

Terra's plant ecologists are roughly divided into two groups.One is the soil faction, which advocates improving the soil so that plants can survive; the other is the plant faction, which advocates improving plants so that they can adapt to originally unsuitable land.

The teacher of the Soil School looked at the test results with pain on his face, and couldn't help but said bluntly to Teresica: "Your request is to change the soil here, and you also gave us experimental funds. Please don't worry, we will definitely do it." We need to find a way, and this is also the purpose of our profession. However, we won’t be able to see results in the short term, so I suggest you look for plants.”

Hearing this, the teacher from the Botanical School, who had been looking through the soil data summary, raised his head, but he also had a sad face. They couldn't get it done despite receiving huge amounts of money.

They were all teachers majoring in plant ecology. When they saw the seeds Teresica handed them, they recognized at first glance that they were crop seeds, and they quickly guessed what Teresica wanted to do.

"The seeds you gave us, we will start designing improvement plans tonight, but... it will be difficult to achieve results within three years."

"Don't worry, I know that scientific research results take time to develop. I will not interfere with your experimental process."

Teresica gave reassurance to every scientific researcher present, and then said: "You are all professionals. I have an idea. I wonder if we can talk about it."

"Please speak."

Out of respect for science, Teresica spoke after seeing these professional technicians nodding.

"Your idea is to change the soil or change the plants. These are scientific ideas. But I am not a scientific researcher, so I have an idea of ​​quick success. Plants need sunlight, water, and soil. If the soil is not good now, that is not possible. Can we just find something to replace the soil?"

"For example, water, water itself is one of the ingredients needed by plants. If we add nutrients from the soil to the water, then soaking the roots of the plants in the water is equivalent to planting them in the soil. There is no need to Watered."

Teresica's words caused all the teachers and students present to fall into deep thought. The teachers from the plant sect and the soil sect gathered together to discuss a few words and said.

"Your suggestions are very constructive. We will immediately start theoretical verification and experimental design."

"please."

Teresica looked sincere, but Mulseth suddenly ran out and asked curiously.

"Have you ever studied plants?"

"No, I just learned about it."

Teresica waved her hand sheepishly, which made everyone present more or less surprised.

'I thought my boss also graduated from some school majoring in plant ecology. '

Just because Mark has a new direction does not mean that old ideas have to be abandoned.Teresica expressed that he still supports the research of soil and plant factions, but also hopes that they will not miss out on the experiments of soilless cultivation, and made a request for the plant faction, which is to increase food production.

Just when Teresica wanted to discuss it with them, a messenger came over in a hurry.He leaned closer and whispered.

"Your Majesty, two of our airships have gone down."

Chapter 77 The Witch King

The sudden incident interrupted Teresica's discussion with the scientific researchers. He rushed to the Kazdel Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, where there was already a pile of burned and severely deformed airship skeletons.Zeppelin is leading a group of people to conduct damage analysis.

"What's going on? How much damage has it caused? Has it affected Yanguo and Ursus?"

Teresica eagerly asked a series of questions, and Zeppelin also understood the seriousness of the matter and spoke quickly.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that Yanguo and Ursus did not suffer any damage. The one that was shot down was our Kazdel airship. It had just finished transporting building materials and was returning to the aircraft factory for inspection."

"Been beaten down?"

Teresica noticed Zeppelin's words. He knew that Kazdel was a little angry with the gangsters in the desert, but could they have this ability?

"Your Majesty, we inspected the wreckage and found that it was indeed an Originium skill that penetrated the metal shield of the lower half of the airbag, ignited the gaseous Originium in the airbag, and caused the airship to explode directly in the air."

"Did that cause pollution of the Origin Stone?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. The gaseous source stone is further refined on the basis of 100% pure refined source stone ingots. Once ignited by the source stone technique, it will explode instantly without leaving any residue."

Zeppelin said: "The Pardoner rushed to the attack area as soon as possible and has captured everyone there and is investigating them one by one."

"Do we have any casualties?"

"Yes, the airship's pilot, co-pilot and a cargo porter, a total of three people died."

After listening to Zeppelin's report, Teresica immediately ordered, "These three people will be compensated according to the standards of fallen soldiers."

"Understood." Zeppelin nodded.

"However, it is said that two airships crashed. Did the crew of the other airship survive?" Teresica asked in surprise. The wreckage on the scene looked like one.

"Your Majesty, that is an airship purchased by Colombia. It was shot down in the Sargon area. It also used Originium technology. But the time was earlier than ours yesterday. The Colombian messenger only arrived today. We were preparing to report, but we didn’t expect that our own would also be shot down.”

After listening to Zeppelin's words, Teresica fell into deep thought. How could the desert residents systematically train magicians? Which country should this be that came to trouble Sakaz? Moreover, he was very careful not to let the Yan Kingdom and the Ursus was affected, causing the incident to expand.

ah!so annoying!It's easy to dodge open spears and hard to defend against hidden arrows. He kind of missed Casimir's straightforward charging knights.

"Convene a military committee to deal with trouble!"

.........

Letania, in this country, the use and education of Originium skills are deeply rooted in everyone's mind.The powerful and wide-ranging Originium skill casters are the capital of this country to stand firm between Victoria and Ursus.

The slender and tall building with various elegant decorations on the surface is called a tower. It is a unique building in this country. It symbolizes the absolute authority of the nobles.

Each tower represents a noble, and above the nobles there is a transcendent being called the Elector.Only they are qualified to elect a Witch King and occupy the most majestic tower among countless towers, which is the pinnacle of Leitania's power.

Today, the seven electors of Leitania were summoned by the current Witch King to hold a meeting, but the atmosphere at the scene made the servants around them have sweat on their foreheads.

"Great Witch King, could you please clear up our doubts and explain our recent excessively manic behavior?"

Although the Elector's posture was respectful, his words were somewhat questioning.

Victoria was in civil strife, and Ursus was also in a mess. Letania, who had been suppressed by the two gangsters of Terra, suddenly felt that her wings seemed to be able to stretch again.

Moreover, in the neighboring countries, Casimir, who has some strength, just suffered a big defeat in Kazdaele, and has to compete with Ursus. Lateran is a neutral country that does nothing, and Syracuse is not included in the scope of the war at all.

The current situation immediately gave the nobles of Letania the feeling of a 'territorial' buffet.

Territory is basically equal to power, and the desire to expand territory suddenly pervades everyone's brains.The Witch-King did not express any objection. He used the desires of the nobles to harass the Victoria border, create friction at the junction of Casimir, and demonstrate deterrence to Syracuse.

This series of actions made the electors a little scared. They were not afraid of going to war with a certain country around them, but it was a bit crazy to provoke so many people at once.

"I'm surprised that you have developed cowardice."

The Witch King, who was reading a book, put one hand on the staff, and the electors suddenly flinched. He said casually: "I can tell clearly that the current behavior is just a cover-up."

"So, what's your goal?"

"Syracuse. That piece of land more than 100 years ago belonged to Letania. We can quickly take it back to Letania's territory."

"Then why did you send our country's infected people to the desert around Kazdare, bribed the refugees, and targeted Sakaz? This will cause unnecessary conflicts."

Letania had been united with Kazdaele for a period of time, and the electors knew very well that Kazdaele had many strange methods.Even if they didn't directly conflict with Sakaz, the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes couldn't be hidden for long.

"Sarkaz...I believe you are not unaware of how close these dirty guys have been with Syracuse recently. They traded with Syracuse, provided weapons and helped them build schools, and Syracuse also specially Colombia helped Sakaz obtain ore disease containment medicine.”

The Witch King's expression became more and more distorted as he spoke, as if something had been tainted. "Do you know, just the day before yesterday, my spies noticed that Sarkaz's soldiers entered Syracuse."

Without giving the electors a chance to interrupt, the Witch King continued: "This may prevent us from regaining Syracuse. It just so happens that Sakaz has offended many people by being a dog for Ursus and the Yan Kingdom, so let them Taste the bitter fruits you have sown. Also, please count all the labor slaves immediately."

"What do you need to do?" the electors tried to ask.

"Containing Sakaz will consume a batch of infected people in advance. Later, we have to prepare for the battle with Syracuse. We need to make up the shortfall, otherwise the spell strength will be affected."

The Witch King decided the fate of a group of people in an understatement. This approach made the electors who regarded themselves as noble blood a little uncomfortable.

"The great Witch King has turned so many worker slaves into infected people, I'm afraid..."

Before the elector had finished speaking, he saw the Witch King's staff glowing with the brilliance of Originium skills, and the energy of Originium visible to the naked eye was flowing around his body.

"Do you want to disobey me?"

"No, no, no..."

He was so frightened that he did not dare to express his anger, and all the electors retreated one after another.

Chapter 78 Foreign Corps

"Your Majesty, there was an infected person from Leitania among those desert refugees. We deliberately left him alone. This person knows how to use Originium skills to escape."

The Pardoner is very efficient, and they have already found the murderer who attacked the airship. "The Leitanian military gave him a crystal of the art of sealing the Origin Stone, and ordered him to come here and take down a Kazdel airship. "

"Well, I see."

Teresica nodded, but finding the murderer would have no effect. Letania would definitely not claim it, and they did not directly declare war on Kazdaele.

What to do now?Leitania didn't send an army. They let the infected hide among the desert refugees and attack Kazdaele's weak points. It was almost a replica of the tactics Kazdaele used against Casimir.

Carry out extermination?There is basically no difference between wilderness refugees and gangsters. You can't tell them apart at all during a fight, and it's still a powder keg. They have already caused a mess of bad debts that cannot be sorted out. It will be really difficult to trade after coming to Kazdare. .

Use the same means to disgust each other?Leitania is much larger than Kazdaele, so a few desert bandits really can't affect it.

Leave it alone?If it affects Ursus and the Yan Kingdom, Kazdel is the one closest!God knows who these two gangsters will cause trouble for!

what!so annoying!

Teresica hid her face in pain, "I have played too much for more than ten years, am I going to be punished now?"

"Manfred, how are Kazdaele's troops doing now?"

"Your Majesty... please take a look."

There was something wrong with Manfred's face. Teresica quickly took the document, took a look at it, and was dumbfounded.

It has been a while since the soldiers were lost in the previous battle with Casimir, but not a single person has replaced them? !

"How is this going?"

"Your Majesty, I really have nothing to add."

Manfred had a bitter look on his face. Except for the active-duty soldiers and the weak old women and children, everyone in Kazdale was engaged in production work. There was really no idle person.If the army wants to recruit people, they have to be drawn from production units.The tasks of each production department are not light, and no one is willing to let the people under them leave their posts.

Teresica looked around at everyone and guessed the situation. Long-term foreign wars had caused the population of the Sakaz tribe to decline, but then a civil war came, which dealt a heavy blow to the population of the Sakaz tribe.

He pondered slightly, "Can you make the airship fly higher?"

"No problem, but it may have some impact on transportation efficiency."

"It doesn't matter, it's good to be safer."

Teresica waved her hand at Zeppelin. The most important thing was not to affect Ursus and Yan Guo.

"The cavalry troops should work hard. Follow the airships and run around more. If you see suspicious people, try to drive them away first so as not to cause too many conflicts."

He doesn't really want to devote his troops to this kind of thing. This can basically be understood as a security war. If the troops fight for a long time, the troops will be useless. There are examples on Earth.

But is this effective?At best, it can only be regarded as adding some difficulty to Letania.

Teresica stood up from her seat and paced back and forth thinking...

"Banshee, immediately send a message to the outside world through Ursus, saying that Kazdaele will form a foreign corps. Regardless of whether they are infected or not, as long as they have combat experience! Kazdaele will provide free services to these soldiers and their immediate family members. Provide ore disease containment medicine!”

Sakaz can't find anyone to fight this security war now, so let people from other countries do it!

"Your Majesty, foreigners cannot be trusted."

The banshee frowned. She was still worried about Theresa's incident. "Including the aliens into Sakaz's battle order, I'm afraid..."

"It's okay, just recruit 5000 people. Don't have any Sakaz signs, so that the gangsters will not only seek revenge on us."

Teresica looked at the people in front of her and said: "In addition to recruiting foreign troops, starting from today, we will also give some real help to the refugees in the wilderness. Send some urgently needed salt and clothing. We can also organize doctors. See a doctor for them, get them some medicines they really need, and even give them a little ore disease inhibitor."

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

Manfred was confused. Didn't he want to recruit foreign legions just now?Why did you start giving things to those people again?Even containment potions are given!

"This is far away from Letania. The surrounding desert refugees can be considered our neighbors after all. If we build a good relationship, they might even help us identify the Letanians. Maybe even the gangsters will." a lot less."

The patriarchs of the Royal Court looked at each other in confusion. The Blood Demon Lord, who loved fighting and killing the most, did not come today. He was not interested in gangsters at all.

"The idea is a bit naive. Let's give it a try. If we do this, the people in the desert will not appreciate it. If we do a thorough cleaning, others will not have anything to blame."
