Chapter 1216 Inventory Complete, Population Soars

So these disabled warriors have become a problem.

Zong Shen doesn’t have a very good solution at the moment.

He can’t just drive them all away and let them fend for themselves!

Since becoming the Lord, he has never lacked the ability to kill.

When facing enemies, he can mercilessly slaughter an entire territory.

But this time the situation is different; he really can’t bring himself to abandon these 209 disabled warriors.

"It’s tricky!"

"For now, I’ll have to arrange for people to take care of them."

"The future is long; there’s bound to be a way to solve this issue."

Zong Shen sighed in frustration.

Injuries from limb loss aren’t like other injuries; they can’t heal as Life Value recovers.

Once injured this way, the limb becomes detached.

Apart from a few specially effective Healing Potions and certain special races, injuries from limb loss are difficult to heal.

Let alone considering recovering so many disabled warriors at once.

"Marie, how are you planning to arrange those disabled warriors?"

Zong Shen looked up at Marie in front of him.

While everyone was gathered there, he was ready to draft an initial plan for dealing with it.

How to enable these 209 disabled warriors to find value in the development of the territory.

This issue seemed to be within Marie’s expectations.

She pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Lord, I think the situations of those disabled warriors differ."

"The most severe one has lost both arms and legs."

"Those in better condition generally have lost one leg or one hand."

"This situation accounts for the majority."

"There are 12 severely disabled individuals with more than two lost limbs."

"With some simple assistive tools, they can still live independently."

Marie’s words opened up Zong Shen’s mind.

He could have Dwarf Uncle and Iron Hand Bucklon create prosthetics for those with better conditions, giving them basic self-care ability.

After all, there are only twelve severely disabled individuals.

They might even be able to care for and help each other.

Currently, he has two tavern blueprints, and when the time comes, he can have them work in the tavern.

Though these warriors are disabled, they still have their Attributes.

In terms of Strength and physical fitness, they’re much stronger than ordinary farmers.

With prosthetics, they’d be capable of completing some less complex tasks.

For example, handling beverages and food, cleaning the tavern, and serving drinks as attendants, they’d be competent.

Besides, Zong Shen also remembered the Magic Energy Puppet technology.

It’s the result of Magic Energy Technology combined with Rune Forging Technology.

If prosthetics created using similar Magic Energy Puppet technology can be controlled as if they were a natural part of the body.

Utilizing magic runes to add to the prosthetics for cognitive link control.

This plan is highly feasible, as high-tier Magic Energy Puppets can issue commands through cognitive links. However, the cost isn’t low, and magic energy prosthetics also need magic energy to operate.

Specifically, the plan needs to be communicated to Dwarf Uncle and the Goblin Engineer before finalizing.

"I understand what you mean."

"This matter has to be handed over to Dwarf Uncle to come up with a solution."

"By the way, why didn’t Gujate come with you?"

Zong Shen’s previously furrowed brows finally relaxed.

He suddenly remembered something and asked.

The answer came from the valiant Luna.

She rode her Sentinel Black Panther forward, looking particularly brilliant under the moonlight.

"Gujate was assisting in the living area to help us tally the people."

"However, more than two hours ago, Iron Hand Bucklon suddenly drove the Earth Shaker Tank to take him away and said it was your order, asking Gujate to cooperate with him in researching the Iron Blood Armor."

On hearing Luna’s explanation, Zong Shen first furrowed his brow again, then seemed to have realized something and showed a helpless expression, gently shook his head.

"What a troublesome goblin Iron Hand really is!"

"Back then, I said once it’s completed, then research the Iron Blood Armor."

"Now the Evil Eye Gatling plan hasn’t even been completed, and it’s already impatiently taking matters into its own hands to find Gujate."

"Forget it, since Gujate has already agreed, I suppose it’s not a big deal, just let it go!"

Zong Shen curled his lips, lowered his head once more, and checked the simple notebook in his hand.

After the warriors, it’s the farmers’ turn.

Farmers were simply classified by Talent and gender.

Compared to the warriors, the total number of farmers is even greater.

Reaching a staggering 6,217!

On average, Zong Shen brought back more than fifteen farmers from each unclaimed territory.

Since farmers aren’t suited to follow in expeditions, most of the farmers from unclaimed territories have to remain.

Among this batch of farmers, there are a total of 3,496 male farmers.

Including 1,972 with Dull Talent, 1,024 with Ordinary Talent, 371 with Fine Talent, 97 with Excellent Talent, and 32 with Rare Talent.

The female farmers total 2,721.

Including 1,412 with Dull Talent, 929 with Ordinary Talent, 311 with Fine Talent, 57 with Excellent Level Talent, and 12 with Rare Talent.

The male-to-female ratio remains unbalanced, but is somewhat better than last time.

Thus, the total population of the territory has directly surpassed ten thousand!

This counts as a leap in population growth!

The origins of this batch of farmers are extremely diverse.

Some are villagers from nearby villages, others are small traveling merchants.

There’s also a portion of refugees who wandered from the neighboring Saiaka City.

The way other lords acquire population has always been rather chaotic.
