Now that he has decided to go to Severnton, Matthew naturally has to make good arrangements for the key matters in the Gulf Territory.

Other matters have been basically arranged after communicating with Butler Ralph a few days ago.

Only for the underground world and the issue of increasing population, Matthew still needs to make more detailed arrangements.

Butler Ralph quickly collected the information and began to make arrangements quickly according to Matthew's emphatically explained instructions.

North of Carr Plain.

Large tracts of land are once again covered with all kinds of weeds. A year ago, there were endless rice fields with abundant fruits.

The wildly growing natural plants easily took back the land that farmers had developed for hundreds of years.

Most of the nobles in this area have sneaked away.

They had already been swept away by the orcs' attacks, the number of nobles was reduced by nearly half, and countless members of the entire family were destroyed.

Of those who survived, quite a few chose to give up their territory, leaving only some symbolic hands to show that the territory was still in their hands.

In fact, most of the surviving nobles have fled with their families.

They fled to Carl City, silently paying attention to the situation, waiting for the orcs to be cleared away.

They did not wait for good news, but instead waited for the bad news that the Scarlet Fortress was destroyed.

At this time, they basically no longer had any hope of returning to their territory. They just pretended to be ostriches secretly and sent people to occupy the territory remotely.

As for the citizens and farmers living in the territory, most of them can only resign themselves to their fate.

Faced with the raids by orcs and wolf cavalry, most of the people in the territory did not even care about farming.

But facing the danger of death and the consequences that the crops will be snatched away when they mature, it is naturally difficult to accept.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that cultivated land turns into wilderness.

However, just when most people and farmers feel desperate.

A large number of adventurers from both the north and the south spread the news.

"Do you want to have food to eat? Do you want to be safe? Come to the Bayland Temporary Camp!"

"In the Gulf Territory, if one person works, the whole family is fed, the whole family works, and the land is divided well."

"The Gulf Territory that defeated the orcs has absolute security."

"The temporary camp is good, there is enough food, and clothes are provided to keep warm."

The adventurers not only brought slogans, but also gave them some free food, and other farmers accompanying them showed up to give their own experiences.

Many locals and farmers who could no longer open the pot had to follow their instructions and go to temporary camps arranged in water source areas.

At first, they were a little scared and worried.

After all, even in the Netheril Empire, many citizens and people still hold the idea of ​​awe and fear towards the mysterious Lord Arcanist.

But as the reputation of the Gulf Territory spreads wider and wider, more and more refugees and farmers are attracted, so they no longer worry.

Anyway, a steady stream of food is delivered to the camp to ensure everyone has three meals a day.

The food is also good, even better than some farmers’ own food.

The work was not heavy either, and the men went out together to farm or fish in the waters.

Women enter factories in the camp to receive a certain degree of factory skills training.

Children will be gathered together for preliminary literacy instruction.

Even the elderly will not be abandoned, and they will be arranged to help cook and distribute food.

After eating stably, most people basically have nothing to complain about.

Not to mention, the camp will distribute rewards based on everyone’s work situation to stimulate everyone’s enthusiasm for work.

At the same time, some small benefits to win people's hearts are also very effective.

New clothing issued to everyone every three months.

Spare no effort in nurturing children when taking care of them.

Snacks and extra meals are distributed to everyone from time to time.

After such a series of punch combinations, everyone became very well-behaved and obedient.

No one would want to be unbehaved.

Whether it is the adventurers hired by the camp or the burly golems that can fight against orcs, they can put an end to everyone's little thoughts.

Recently, the residents who completed the first batch of harvest received a commitment from the camp director.

"If you are willing, you can prepare to go to the bay to get it."

"Houses and jobs have been prepared for everyone there, ensuring that everyone lives a better life..."

"As for this area, the danger will become greater and greater, and it is very likely that it will be raided by orc troops next year..."

The words of the person in charge revealed that the camp was unable to resist the orc army.

Not everyone who gathered at the camp headed to the Gulf Territory in advance, after all, it was hard to leave their homeland.

However, it is completely different now!

The news that the outer wall of the Scarlet Fortress was destroyed has spread, and everyone knows that other nobles have rushed to the scene.

In this case, the vast majority of people will choose to leave the dangerous Karl Plain.

In just a few dozen days, more than 300,000 people in the camp were moved to the Gulf Territory.

People who have been trained, adapted to the order, and understood the rules no longer cause some management troubles and conflicts like before.

They integrated very quickly and filled various positions in the Gulf Territory.

Whether it's a factory, a soldier, a stronghold, or a fortress, they all behave very naturally.

Having experienced the test of life and death, they understand the importance of safety very well.

Similarly, you may also be very satisfied with the various benefits provided by Bayland.

In addition to rapidly absorbing the population, a large number of brand-new materials were quickly delivered to the advanced base located in the underground world.

The slightly shining magic pipes were placed in the passages one after another with the concerted efforts of the kobolds and jackals.

Camp after camp was set up, filled with staff sent from the Gulf Territory.

Compared with the small-scale cement production on the surface, the underground base that controls the supply of an entire energy element pool is building a large number of various golem factories.

Various types of modified golems are used to replace manpower to speed up the efficiency of development and construction.

Each base here has supporting production lines that Matthew ordered.

The products produced are very simple, some are weapons and armors, some are military cans, and some are crossbows and crossbow arrows.

No matter what the circumstances, these materials can be effective and useful.

Matthew did not produce much at one time, but arranged to store a large amount of raw materials.

At that time, by dispatching a small number of production personnel who have obtained authorization, one base after another can be quickly operated.

Of course, these bases are kept secret at all times, and they are part of Matthew's retreat for the Gulf Territory.

Regarding the growing army of drow elves, Matthew's idea is also very simple.

Arrange personnel to open up the narrow interface, expand the field of vision, and always pay attention to the movements of the drow army.

At the same time, a group of elite troops sent by Matthew, as well as a large number of adventurers, emerged from some trails.

The purpose is to find high-quality minerals around.

For ordinary mineral veins, there is no need to dig secretly.

But for precious mineral veins such as fine gold, gemstones, and mithril, you can make a profit if you can mine them.

After all, the Gulf Territory has small equipment for secret excavation and a teleportation array with deep pockets.

Spending as much money as possible, acquiring more precious materials, and creating strategic forces like magic armor is the key to the development of the Gulf Territory.

At the same time, Matthew also asked the adventurers to explore the surrounding underground world.

The main direction is the battlefield between the drow army and the Kalaya Gnoll Kingdom.
