Chapter 36: The Knight in the Rye

The white sun spreads its rays equally, and the sparkling Sancha River is like a ribbon falling from the sky, cutting out the outline of every piece of land on the Fengling Plain.

Jamil's cargo ship sailed quietly towards the dock.

There is no material loaded in the cargo hold of the ship. The most important task is to transport a group of construction aid personnel to Huangmu Town.

In addition to the lizard cavalry instructor Joe who had already landed, the ship also carried many dark elves, including Black Cliff City's construction craftsmen, herbalism experts, and a small team of stalkers.

With the revival of the Wind Spirit Plain, monsters and beasts began to invade in large numbers, and the surrounding areas occupied by the Starbreakers were filled with death. The Wind Spirit Plain was an irreplaceable paradise for them.

The food chain and ecology began to be reestablished on this land.

Subsequently, Huangmu Town was attacked by wild creatures many times.

This was unimaginable before.

This dark elf will join the Star Wind Territory construction team already stationed here to coordinate the production and combat readiness of skeleton soldiers, while continuing to expand production efficiency while strengthening the defense capabilities of Yellowwood Town.

A small group of dark elf stalkers will serve as the regular defense force of Yellowwood Town.

Soon, the ship arrived at the dock, and the dark elves looked at the city with curious eyes.

In a sense, the dark elves are an isolated and conspiring race. The major races in the mainland are wary of them, thinking that the dark elves are either implementing a conspiracy or on the way to implement the next conspiracy.

But many times, just like the dark elves' original choice to seek refuge with the Faceless Men, the original intention at the birth of the conspiracy is often just for the continuation of the race.

Therefore, it is difficult for the dark elves themselves to judge whether they are believers in isolationism or isolated and persecuted.

Participating in the construction of cities of other races is also an adventure for the Blackcliff people.

Jamil led them to the construction team station and had a not-so-friendly first meeting with the people of Starwind City.

After simple greetings and communication, the dark elves immediately participated in various tasks in Yellowwood Town.

Surprisingly, they played a huge role as soon as they arrived.

In terms of defensive fortifications, because they did not have the conditions to build thick stone walls, the people of Starwind City only used local high-quality wood to build a row of wooden walls.

This is incredible to the dark elf craftsmen and warriors.

Do these surface humans expect to rely on this weak physical barrier to resist the attack of external armies?

The dark elves severely criticized this. A single wooden wall could not block any enemies except blocking the sight of the city.

If a few more low-level creatures gather together, they can easily break through.

Their suggestion was to pile earth and rocks inside the wooden wall to form a slope leading to the top of the wall on the side closer to the city.

In this way, the shooter can stand on a high place and pour out firepower, and can defend against the enemy attacking from below.

Such a cost-effective design impressed the fjord survivors. They were proficient in production and construction, and also mastered shipbuilding technology. However, their long life in the mountains and poor material resources made them almost forget how to deal with a full-scale war.

The serious work attitude of the dark elves was recognized by them.

Seeing this scene, Jamil sighed inwardly.

He is very familiar with everyone here.

When they lived in the fjord, they were all kind neighbors. Most of them had no fighting skills and could only engage in material collection and simple manufacturing.

Now, they have become one with the dark elves and have entered into a new heated discussion.

The lord organized everyone, and a common goal took root in the hearts of everyone in Starwind Leader.

Guard the Fengling Plain and survive.

Jamil completed the escort work, called the warehouse manager, and sent skeleton soldiers to transport the logs to the dock and load them into the cargo hold of the ship.

Next to the warehouse is the skeleton carriage station. A carriage driven by two skeleton horses pulls a huge cargo box.

The cargo compartment is full of dazzling rich gold mines.

After the carriage sets off, it will arrive at Starwind City within forty minutes, and Jamil's cargo ship will be slightly slower.

.....

A cargo ship loaded with lumber arrived in Starwind City.

Malen stood on the ridge of the field, looking at the busy work on the dock, and smiled happily.

The newly built wharf stands on the moat, and supplies can be transported into the city easily.

In the "resurrection" plan formulated by Lord Li Ran, in addition to the construction of the military and defense system, it also includes the comprehensive improvement of the Starwind Territory's material production capacity.

Resources are everything. Only with resources can the residents have enough food and clothing, strong city defenses and ballistae, and more divinely chosen warriors can be recruited.

Outside the ancient castle, people were gathered to reclaim the land.

War and curse destroyed everything, turning the Wind Spirit Plain into a forbidden area of ​​death.

After the Well of Souls was destroyed, the wind brought seeds from the outside world. The parched land was filled with new sprouts, and some fast-growing plants had entered their maturity stage.

When there are no conventional crops to grow and satisfy hunger, the abundant wild crops in Ashan can temporarily make up for the lack of diet.

In addition to the beasts and monsters hunted by the Skeleton Corps in the Wind Spirit Plains and the Dragon Calling Mountains, the Dragon Calling Port also produces a large amount of fresh catches. The plump fish meat can provide rich nutrition to the small number of people in Starwind City.

The union of the two cities brings new opportunities.

The residents of Blackcliff City widely plant a type of fern in the dark and humid underground world. This crop has a long history and ensures the survival of the dark elves in the cruel years.

With the exchanges between the two cities, this fern food has also appeared on the dining tables of people in Starwind City.

But, winter is coming soon.

Malen looked up at the gloomy sky, feeling worried in his heart.

The Starbreaker tore apart the land of Ashan, changing the topography and regional climate of countless areas.

After living in the Huanlong Mountains for so long, Malen can clearly feel that winter is getting longer and longer.

The ecology of the entire planet is deteriorating.

This winter is approaching, and we don’t know how long we will have to endure the cold and hunger.

Before that, Starwind Leader must make preparations.

Before winter arrives, store as much food as possible.

The wild wheat that grows all over the mountains is a good emergency food, and its seeds are relatively easy to obtain. Desperate and hungry adventurers often use it to satisfy their hunger.

At the request of Archon Malen, the people of Starwind City began to collect wild wheat seeds and expand their planting in a large area.

The advantage of this plant is that it can be found everywhere in the wild and grows quickly. The disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of land fertility and water resources, so it cannot become the main ration like improved wheat. It also has a rough taste and a bitter taste no matter what you do.

But this crop is simply a blessing to the current Star Wind City.

On the outskirts of the castle, the land that has not been cultivated for many years and has been soaked with the blood of war has extremely good fertility and planting conditions. As for water sources, the moat water from the Sancha River can be directly used.

In a short period of time, the first batch of wild wheat in Starwind City has matured.

Neat fields of wheat are like pieces of golden armor, guarding the war-torn Starwind City Wall.

Under Mullen's call, the elderly and women in the city who had not yet engaged in heavy manual labor were mobilized. After people cleaned the harvested wheat, they used the collected seeds to sow a new round of wheat.

Men and women were working in the fields. Mullen walked down the field, letting his robes stained with mud and grass blades. He picked up an ear of wheat and put it to his nose to smell the fragrance of rice.

He seemed to smell the bitter aroma of ale.
