Rise of the Plants

"Let's first talk about the recent situation in the territory." Chi Nan was very happy to see the prosperity of the territory.

It's just that Hermila's face looked a little weird: "Let me start by saying that the situation in the territory is not good now. Our food is about to run out, but it should be fine if you come back, sir."

"What? It's all gone? How is that possible? Didn't there still be a lot of flour in the territory before I left? It was enough for us to use for a few months. How could it be used up so fast?" Has the territory actually reached this point?

Hermilla spread her hands helplessly: "My lord, you haven't known it since you have been away for half a month. The population of our territory now exceeds 10,000, so the food consumption is also very large. And the problem of drinking water is also very serious. Our army's drinking water is now brought from the river outside. We need to prepare more for civilian use every day."

"Why are there so many people? What happened?" Chi Nan was surprised. But the more people, the better.

Now that he has returned to his territory, the water source problem has also been solved. After the land next to the river can be used, he can plant more jujube trees. This jujube tree bears fruit all year round.

At most, the growth is slower in winter and the quality is worse. As long as that large piece of land can be utilized, let alone 10,000 people, there will be no problem even if there are 10,000 more people.

Hermila looked at one leg and said, "Holm, come and talk to the adults."

He stood up on one leg and said respectfully: "You are such an adult.

Before he finished speaking, Chi Nan pressed his hand: "Sit down and say, we are all our own people, there is no need to be so respectful." One Leg knew Chi Nan's temper and sat down immediately, but he was still a little uncomfortable.

"Sir, this is actually the case. The front line lost and they were constantly retreating under the attack of the wild orcs. Some civilians who had been hiding came out and had no place to go, so they came to us. I don't know who is spreading the rumors outside. , saying that we have enough food and a safe environment here, so many people come to us and join us.”

"And there have been a lot of wild orcs attracted during this period. There have been three attacks by more than a hundred wild orcs."

No wonder they don't look good. Some people say that this place is good, and then it attracts countless people to join them. You know, the reason why rumors can spread is because there are so many people.

Now in Remas's situation, it is not easy for this kind of dazzling light to really spread. It always feels like someone is deliberately targeting him. If it weren't for him, the red sand forest that used to have such a large population would have collapsed long ago.

After thinking about it, Chi Nan smiled: "Well, this is a good thing. The more people who come, the better. What we lack most now is people. By the way, Lao Muka, you are responsible for selecting those talents. Put them all where they can be used.”

Lao Muka immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir, we all know it."

"Why, if there's anything you haven't said yet, tell me."

Hermila said with some seriousness: "Sir, there was a riot in the territory some time ago. Fortunately, we discovered it in time and suppressed the rioters."

"Riot? What's going on?" Chi Nan became angry. After all he had done, someone still rioted.

"It's like this. We discovered that the person behind the trouble was actually a bandit. After their bandit group was destroyed, this person hid among the refugees. The previous bandit learned that the master no longer had the territory, so in order to gain the full power of the territory, he It will incite the masses. Fortunately, the civilians have high recognition of us, and someone came to report this matter in advance."

Chi Nan narrowed his eyes and his eyes flashed. Having a large population is not entirely a good thing sometimes.

"Then what did you do?" It seemed like nothing happened now.

"We arrested the troublemaker and those involved and hanged them in the center of the town. Their bodies are still hanging outside the fortress. In order to prevent someone from making trouble, we increased the intensity of inspections and even increased the number of troops without authorization. number of people.”

One leg lowered his head and said: "Sir, this is my fault. I asked for an increase in the number of troops."

Chi Nan did not blame: "You did a good job." This was the best thing for not letting the scale of the riot expand. Once a riot breaks out, the final result will be unimaginable.

"Sir, there are currently a thousand troops in our territory. Because of this matter, our food consumption is so fast. Lord, please punish me."

Chi Nan said impatiently: "If it's not your fault, it's not your fault, but the ratio of ten to one is really high enough. It seems that we still need to continue to increase the population. In fact, the issue of public security is completely OK Leave it to the police. What? I don’t know what the police are. They are retired soldiers and reservists who specialize in public security and do not go to the battlefield."

It was not easy for Chi Nan to explain to them what the police were: "It turns out they are some security personnel. If you had said so earlier, we would have known." Hemila, Yiyiji and others suddenly realized.

Security officers are not just for security, they are a branch of the military, and they need to go to the battlefield when encountering danger.

But they can think whatever they want. Chi Nan really doesn't know much about some situations in this world.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. First, tell me what is going on on the front line. Isn't the situation very good? Why did it become like this all of a sudden." Chi Nan was very surprised.

One leg told him the information he knew, and only then did Chi Nan realize the seriousness of the problem. Unexpectedly, the defense line has been compressed to the rear. If you continue like this, it won't be long before you return to Blackstone Fortress.

Moreover, in the face of a large-scale orc uprising, once they return to the Blackstone Fortress, it is not certain whether the Blackstone Fortress can be defended intact. I don’t know why, but there are so many wild orcs from the north heading south. And according to the intelligence, these wild orcs seemed to have never thought about leaving, but instead regarded this place as their new home.

It's a shame, if you let these wild orcs continue to wreak havoc, you will definitely be affected. Nowadays, wild orcs often run along the road outside and come to their territory.

If more wild orcs enter, I am afraid that I may not be able to keep my territory in the future. No, we must find a way to solve this problem. If it doesn't work, we can only take the initiative.
