Chapter 994 - 562: Return to the Territory, Massive Points

In short, these points are a completely unexpected gain for the Lords within this region.

Zong Shen’s name has become even more resounding after tonight!

This will greatly assist him in becoming the regional Overlord in the future.

Flying Tiger took over twenty minutes to bring Zong Shen back to the Territory from the adjacent region.

The Territory was quite lively at this time.

The evening agricultural skills training session was still being held.

According to Hoy’s plan, he was going to convene two sessions today.

The first session lasted from the morning until two in the afternoon.

The second session was scheduled from six in the evening until ten at night.

Marie and the Dwarf Uncle had also returned to the Territory.

With the help of the Dwarf Uncle and two Blacksmith Apprentices, ten large metal cages were quickly manufactured on-site in Sitanos Village.

These cages were placed in the open space of Master Mars’s pasture.

Zong Shen fully covered the manufacturing materials for the cages.

The Dwarf Uncle personally oversaw their creation.

The forging difficulty of the metal cages was not very high.

The Dwarf Uncle mastered many techniques for batch forging.

Under such circumstances, it took them only half a day to complete ten metal cages.

The original Blacksmith of Sitanos Village was responsible for assisting throughout the process.

In reality, the Blacksmith in this village was indeed only at the Blacksmith Apprentice level.

He was even slightly lacking compared to Apprentice Level.

Usually, he would forge some common farming tools and small items like iron nails for the village.

He couldn’t even forge simple Whiteboard Level swords.

If he were to forge ten cages independently, it would take him at least over half a month.

This was because the cages themselves had no technical content.

But today, with the arrival of the Dwarf Uncle and his team, the situation was completely different.

In summary, most of the tasks Zong Shen assigned today were successfully completed.

As for those warriors who participated in the conquest battle, they were all resting in the living area.

This combat operation took a heavy toll on the Ranged Warriors.

Both in terms of physical endurance and weapon arrow consumption.

Therefore, during the night free time period.

Outside the newly built bathhouses in the living area, there were warriors queuing to enter for a shower.

With the increase in Territory population, supporting buildings like [Bathhouse] and [Simple Toilets] were also promptly constructed.

In addition, Zong Shen also planned to build a simple tap water system.

He could use a water tower for supply.

The tricky part was the piping problem.

However, Zong Shen had no lack of materials at hand, so he could afford to use copper fittings.

Not only low in metal toxicity, but also corrosion-resistant.

This issue could be assigned to the Dwarf Uncle.

According to the plan, he intended to build fifteen to twenty high-level water towers around the living area.

The water source problem for the water towers was also straightforward.

He had an ample supply of Water Runes and Water Magic Gemstones.

He could consider setting up Low-tier Condensing Water Magic Arrays.

The threshold for these Low-tier Magic Arrays was very low.

The [High-level Library] in the Territory housed relevant Basic introductory Books.

Zong Shen could let his subjects learn by themselves.

Basic technology was relatively easy to grasp.

In this world that lacked technological power.

Zong Shen planned to use Magic Items and Magic Energy Technology as substitutes for some technologies from the original world.

Once the water towers were complete, a planned water supply could be implemented.

The water gate would be opened at specified times each day.

This plan didn’t require high technical content, and the Territory had the capability to execute it.

This set of tap water plans, together with the construction of numerous [Deep Wells], could essentially solve the Territory’s water usage problem comprehensively!

Currently, in terms of water consumption within the Territory, it’s not humans who use the most.

Rather, it’s the horses and cattle and sheep.

A grassland cow requires 6 pounds of water for every 2 pounds of dry feed consumed.

Normally, a grassland cow can eat up to 15% of its body weight in forage daily.

A 400-pound grassland cow would need to consume about 60 pounds of forage per day.

According to this ratio, at least 360 pounds of water would be necessary.

Of course, this is just an ideal-case calculation.

In practice, the daily water consumption of cattle and sheep fluctuates somewhat.

But no matter what, livestock are major water consumers.

For specific situations, Zong Shen planned to explain to Marie and the Dwarf Uncle when he had time.

As for other convenience projects, they were still difficult to accomplish for now.

He could only have Marie prioritize constructing more bathhouses and simple toilets.

Having the freedom to bathe and use a toilet was truly a joyous thing.

Tonight, Zong Shen temporarily had no tasks to assign.

He simply contacted Wenresa via the Communication Crystal.

Inviting her to the Lord’s Fortress.

She was also a model worker in the Territory, and after returning, didn’t rest.

Instead, she went to the living area to account for the consumption of supplies and the conditions of the warriors’ injuries.

Thus, Zong Shen also had her relay a patrol assignment.

Asking the Lion Knights in the Territory to coordinate with the Wolf Cavalry for patrols.

The Wolf Cavalry were Light Cavalry.

With lower defense strength but better mobility.

The Lion Knights, on the other hand, were Heavy Knights, possessing significant combat power and defense capability.

By combining the two, the Territory’s patrol efforts could be greatly enhanced.

At present, relying solely on the Wolf Cavalry patrol team could no longer meet the situation.

While increasing the quantity of the Wolf Cavalry patrol team, the quality of the patrol Sentinels must also be considered.

This was one of the insights he gained from defeating the big bald Lord earlier.
