Liu Zhenhan shook his head with a bitter smile, quickly casting aside the irrelevant thoughts, throwing himself into the bustling preparations for the upcoming battle.
In Dorott, because the Danze family did not receive any information this ti, Marquis Capello dispatched more people, closely monitoring every move of the Tornado rcenary Group.
After all, it was a large rcenary group of tens of thousands of people.
Any military movent couldn’t be hidden from Capello, who controlled the city’s defense forces.
So malicious people intentionally spread rumors about the disastrous hunting mission the Shalba family embarked upon in Donau Wasteland.
At the sa ti, the Shalba family covertly sent condolences to the Tornado rcenary Group, secretly awarding them two squads of heavily armored scythe-wielders.
The Danze family also secretly investigated these rumors.
Although they did it very quietly, they indeed started it.
The crystal globe that Marquis Capello possessed, containing the images of five beautiful won, circulated in the market through special channels as if it were nothing unusual.
Count Totti beca a ssenger, flying back and forth from Dorott every few days.
In addition to occasionally pretending to be desolate and drowning his sorrows in drinks on the streets, he also brought back the latest news to Fei Lengcui.
In Fei Lengcui, after several battles, the territory’s preparations for the war had beco routine.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.
One week later, the cleaner campaign around Fei Lengcui was successful.
All the bamboo-rice was completely harvested.
The 400-acre bamboo grove yielded approximately 300,000 pounds of bamboo rice.
The average yield per acre reached 800 pounds.
If the harvest hadn’t been so hasty and neglectful, it was estimated that a yield of a thousand pounds per acre was reachable.
The Overlord did not correct this wasteful behavior but intentionally indulged it.
Let there be so wastage; the bamboo rice left behind would provide a lush, luxuriant bamboo forest the next year grown in the spring rain.
Liu Zhenhan found it funny.
Who would have thought that one acre of bamboo forest would provide more than one acre of hybrid rice?
But soon he realized – after all, no stalk of rice grows seven to eight ters high or has grains all over its body.
The harvested bamboo, aside from the 3000 ones left for the pandas to eat and the 1000 ones used to hold water, the rest was burned into charcoal for fuel.
This season of farming was more complicated and stressful than a full-scale war.
Due to the impending war and the shortage of ti, the Overlord gathered the goblins from Razor Mountain to participate.
In total, 6000 citizens were mobilized to harvest and weave baskets.
The Goblins of Razor Mountain happily received their share of the 100,000 pounds of golden bamboo-rice.
Daisy and Razor Mountain’s goblins were very pleased with the Overlord’s generosity.
They enthusiastically requested to send troops to join the war, and Liu Zhenhan reluctantly accepted 200 Goblin warriors.
The captured warhorses were all taken to Witherspoon and handed over to the beautiful snake ntor, Cui Beixi.
She, under the na of the temple, sold the horses and collected donations, supplying Fei Lengcui with approximately 50,000 pounds of dried at and 400 pounds of salt.
The food reserve in Fei Lengcui now was sufficient for half a year’s consumption by its citizens.
The biggest crisis was resolved.
Next, to be dealt with were the human captives – the key to restraining the Shalba family.
They were sent to General Pan’s territory “Sydney City”.
To prevent them from attempting to escape or rebel, their left ankle tendons and right thumbs were severed upon arrival at Razor Mountain.
Their food rations were halved.
Previously, Elder Andulan reminded the Overlord that among the 1000 human captives, 200-300 were slavery hunters under the direct command of the Shalba family and asked if they should be kept in Fei Lengcui for its defense.
“Why keep such people?
To let them return to the Donau wasteland to hunt for Beamon slaves?” Liu Zhenhan darkly decided the disabled fate of these slavery hunters.
By the ti Count Totti learned of this and rushed to Razor Mountain, all the disabled people in the prison glared at him wrathfully, blaming the Count for their fate.
The old and weak mbers of the Mammoth and Hippopotamus tribes, along with all the vassal clans and children, were all relocated to Sydney City, They were fully responsible for the surveillance of the captives, along with the Razor Mountain gnos.
Except for the oillons, the fields for Slat Bananas and Gold-Pointing Mulberry were all relocated to Sydney City.
After the last war, the musketeers hadn’t dared to use a single “Morading’s wrath” fire, so they still had about 300 copper bullets each.
The oillon supplies were mostly consud in steel making, and Fat Luo squandered a lot in the “Stairway of Death” battle.
Only five remained.
With daily watering from the Life Spring, five to eight oillons were harvested daily.
Each oillon strapped with ten “Morading’s wrath” fire and tightly wrapped in blood glue, with bamboo-made torpedo tails on the backside.
This was the ultimate weapon of Liu Zhenhan’s airborne Newton Cavalry, and also the highest military secret of Fei Lengcui.
