Chapter 110 Corpse Nourishment
"Next time you go to Broken Dragon Fortress, if some strange woman invites you to visit her mansion, it's best to refuse immediately."
Marcia looked at Rhodes' handsome face with three-dimensional features and warned him with some concern.
The Northern Frost Principality is different from the Kingdom. The noble ladies here are not simple and delicate girls, but evil wolves in disguise of beautiful faces.
They will actively look for targets and attack quickly after locking onto their prey.
Be one step ahead and make the man you like yours.
The previous Rhodes didn't need to worry, because no one thought highly of him.
But it's different now.
His cousin, who defeated the powerful lord of the White Frost Cult, has demonstrated the top level of a second-generation disciple.
What’s even more fatal is that the title of the Knight on the White Horse has a fatal attraction to those noble ladies.
They will flock to you like moths to a flame.
Although he had no actual contact with them, Rhode had heard that the noble ladies here were tough and nodded to show that he understood.
The territory has just entered its development stage, and I am only sixteen years old.
It is too early to either marry or form an alliance.
If you were to seek pleasure and get into some lady's soft bed.
It's easy to go up, but it's not up to you to come down.
By the time the family behind the woman takes action, if he doesn't want to leave a bad reputation of being an adulterer in the aristocratic circle, the only way he can do is to marry an honest wife.
He is now busy building his territory all day long and doesn't have much demand in that area.
Seeing that Rhodes had a natural expression and no intention of resisting, Marcia breathed a sigh of relief.
She actually didn't care that this cousin had a relationship with the noble lady.
The main reason was that he was afraid that after hearing the rumors, Elena would have a brain attack and end up chatting with this handsome nephew until she ended up in bed.
She would not be surprised if something like this happened, and she must prevent it in advance.
Rhodes brought Marcia into Hekou Town, and while discussing the situation in various parts of Hanshui County, he also asked about issues that were of concern to him.
"Sister Marcia, how many refugees do you think I can accept from the southern part of the Principality?"
The southern part of the principality was hit by a cold wave, displacing a large number of refugees.
The natural way to deal with them is to settle them in the northern territory.
Relying on his achievement of defeating the White Frost Cult, Rhodes sent a letter to Governor Elena.
What is needed is to be able to obtain a group of refugees and settle them in one's own territory.
The letter is still on its way to being sent and Rhodes has not received a response yet.
Rejection is unlikely, the only problem is quantity.
Rhodes didn't know the situation in the South.
If the total number of refugees is too small, then he may only get a few hundred people, which lacks practical significance.
"Don't worry, you've helped Elena a lot, and the number of people assigned to you will not be less than four thousand."
Marcia answered as she observed the prosperity of the bayou town, marveling at the local economy thriving outside of the military.
She knew how dilapidated Hekou Town was at the beginning, with low shacks everywhere as far as the eye could see.
It is completely different from the brick and stone streets and stone buildings of today.
In addition to military affairs, my cousin also has outstanding talents in territory construction.
The unrest in the North brings disaster, but it also provides a stage for potential heroes to break free from the shackles of inheritance.
Marcia no longer had any doubt that the knight before her would shine brightly in the ensuing chaos and become the subject of worldwide legend.
It was ridiculous that she had treated the other person as a child before, Marcia laughed at herself in her heart.
After confirming that everything was normal in Hekou Town, she left the next day.
As for why Rhodes had the strength to kill Archbishop White Frost, this was not Marcia's concern, and no one would make things difficult for him in this regard.
In the Principality of North Frost, the incarnation of the white horse is enough to offset all rumors.
After bidding farewell to his cousin, Rhode continued to handle the affairs of Hekou Town. In the following days, he formulated the training content for the injured girls as medical soldiers.
The caravan was commissioned to invite several experienced older nuns from Broken Dragon Fortress to serve as mentors in the hospital.
After confirming that all arrangements in the town are proceeding in an orderly manner.
Rhodes took Lily on the icebreaker and followed the yak herd back to Pingdingshan.
A group of black yaks left the gate in a mighty procession and set foot on the snow-covered road.
On the way back, Rhodes looked at the blue crystal in his hand and the hundreds of orc corpses dragged by the yak herd.
These will serve as materials for him to start a new round of magic field construction.
Behind him, seeing that Rhodes did not bring the heroic girl, Lily patted her barren chest and hummed a ballad happily.
Thanks to the road that had been built earlier, and accompanied by the girl's cheerful singing, the journey back was smooth.
In the evening, the yak herd drove back to Pingdingshan.
On the way to the top of the mountain, Rhodes looked up at the city wall halfway up the mountain.
Compared with the low brick wall of Hekou Town, which is less than five meters high, the granite wall of Pingdingshan is twice as high as ten meters.
Shadows enveloped the earth, and a solid, wide stone wall stretched across the mountainside, turning into an immortal barrier that completely blocked the way up the mountain.
If the White Frost Cult attacked Pingdingshan, Rhodes believed that there would be no need to leave the city at all.
The crossbows and stones on the city walls alone can keep the enemy outside the walls with almost zero casualties.
"Moo~" The ice-breaking beast under him looked at the city wall and couldn't help shaking its head.
When it first arrived, it banged its head against the wall out of curiosity.
Even though it is a walking battering ram, the wall remains unmoved after it hits it.
The Icebreaker Beast, on the other hand, felt so dizzy that he almost suffered a psychological trauma.
"There's no need to compare with this." Rhodes touched its head to comfort it and fed a golden biscuit into its mouth.
The Icebreaker Beast was a major contributor to the victory over the Frost Cult and was able to unleash a terrifying impact force.
Although it couldn't break through the granite wall, with the combined strength of four or five ice-breaking beasts, it would be no problem for it to break through the wall of Hekou Town.
If used to attack a large enemy formation, the effect will be even more significant and unstoppable.
After crossing the city gate and reaching the top of the mountain, Rhodes commanded the icebreaker beast and the herd of yaks behind it and said:
"Throw all the orc corpses into the magic field."
The corpses of minotaurs, werewolves, tiger-headed men and other orcs were thrown into the magic field.
The soil of the magic field became loose, swallowing the food into its interior like quicksand and digesting it quickly.
Ordinary corpses on the battlefield lack magical power and there is no need to transport them back.
But these orcs were different.
As first-level transcendent beings, their corpses are the best nutrients for the magic field.
It can stimulate the special ability of the magic field and quickly ripen the crops planted.
Rhodes looked at the magic plants on the magic field.
More than one hundred acres of high-quality barley had just been planted and were just beginning to sprout.
At present, the territory has stored a lot of high-quality barley and has no shortage of golden bread supply for the time being, which made Rhodes change his goal.
He looked at another area where high-quality black wolfberries were grown.
Unlike high-quality barley that matures in two months, high-quality black wolfberry needs two years of growth before it can bear fruit.
Only a quarter of the time has passed, and the branches that have emerged are thin and tender, and it is far from time for them to bear fruit.
The magic field can speed up this process.
"It's time to harvest." Rhodes placed his hand on the magic field expectantly.
Use the contract to direct the digested nutrients to the planting area.
