Søren entered the gathering place of the Fermi Ants.
It was an independent gear with an area about twice the size of Modor City. There were a lot of Fermi Ants gathered there, probably about thirty to fifty thousand of them.
The gravity of this gear seemed to be independent. After arriving at the gear, he could clearly feel the increase in gravity, which was about 1.5 times that of the material plane. The area of the floating city was very large. As soon as Søren arrived at the gear, he saw the broken outline. However, this floating city had been transformed into a nest by the Fermi Ants, so he didn't know how much was left. He tried to get closer by hiding in the shadows, but when he approached the central hall of the Ant Tribe, he attracted the attention of some large female ants.
Psionic Sensing.
These slightly plump ants were the Empress's guards.
It was possible for a god in the form of a Saint to be exhausted to death by human wave tactics. Soran observed the surroundings, left a space waymark, and left.
There were too many Fermi Ants, and their racial characteristics were a bit like a swarm of bees. If they attacked a single Fermi worker or Fermi warrior, there would be no problem. However, once someone attacked the queen of the Fermi Ants, all the Fermi Ants under her control would rush over to support. In other words, attacking the queen of the Fermi Ants was like poking a hornet's nest. Tens of thousands of Fermi Ants would immediately chase after you. Under normal circumstances, adventurers would never provoke the queen of the Fermi Ants because the price to pay was too high.
Søren left the gear through a green portal.
He entered the shadows and wandered around. He discovered a gathering place of Huna Demons, some wandering Astral World Hunters, and traces of a group of Lustful Demons.
There were many demons in the Mechanical Realm.
Lustful Demons didn't look much different from Succubus, but Succubus had Demon Wings, while Lustful Demons mostly had Fallen Angel Wings. Unless they were mixed-blood Lustful Demons, their wings were more feathered. Søren didn't like dealing with demons, because they wouldn't do anything without enough benefits. Even if they did, they would have all kinds of evil thoughts. He was just going to see if there would be any trouble nearby. If there was no problem, he was going to mobilize the power of the Thaling Rune and the golem army of Modor to deal with the Fomites.
However!
This attack was almost equivalent to a head-on war.
Therefore, it would take some time to prepare. The military of Mordor City must follow the order, and at the same time, the interplanar astral teleportation also needed to be tested. They couldn't be careless in other planes. Otherwise, the golem army that Mordor City had painstakingly accumulated might be completely wiped out!
…
Mordor City.
In the blink of an eye, it was early June.
In the fields outside Modor City, there was a golden wheat wave that spread for more than ten miles. It looked like a golden ocean. The heavy and plump ears of wheat looked so delightful. The joy of the harvest was everywhere in Modor City.
Winter wheat was planted in Modor City. It was generally sown from mid-to-late September to early October last year, and ripen from the end of May to mid-to-late June the next year. In Søren's plan, the farming of Modor City was closer to the farm economy and manor economy. The initial land reclamation was done by the clay golems, and then they dug ditches to irrigate the farmland, fertilize and clean it up with precision farming. The witches had even cast the Stone to Mud spell during the initial stages of land reclamation. In a world without magic, the harvest in the first year of reclamation would not be much. But in a world with magic and gods, everything became possible.
Modor City ushered in a bumper harvest!
From the establishment of Modor City to the present, Søren had always needed food from the south coast and other places, but this year's bumper harvest directly offset the dependence of Modor City on food from the outside world.
At present, the harvest of food had not been completed, so it was impossible to calculate how much this year's harvest was.
However, according to the statistics of Modor City City Hall officials, the food harvested in Modor City this year should be enough for 300,000 people to eat for more than two years. The City Hall was now preparing to build a granary. In this era, the importance of food was extremely high. If a city did not have more than ten years' worth of food, it would not be rich at all.
This was only the basis of the second batch of land reclamation. Judging from the situation of the fourth and fifth batches of land reclamation, Modor City would have no problem supporting millions of people in the future.
The entire city of Modor was busy.
Whether it was the citizens of Modor City or the newly freed serfs, they were harvesting food in the fields almost every day. This kind of harvest could be laughed even if it was hard and tiring. However, in just a day or two, the cement road originally built in Modor City was full of harvested food. Because the grain output was higher than expected, and the weather in the outer islands changed faster, if they did not dry it as soon as possible, it would be very troublesome when it rained. In the end, the City Hall had to order not to dry the food on the main roads of Modor City.
The messenger of the Goddess of Agriculture arrived soon.
Because Søren was not in Modor City, the high priest was in charge of receiving him this time.
Obviously!
The Goddess of Agriculture was very well-informed.
However, Modor City had such a big harvest this year. Many people were praying to the Goddess of Agriculture during the harvest, so it was normal for her to know about it first.
One year of farming was enough to supply more than two years of food.
This was obviously what the Goddess of Agriculture was pursuing. If it could be popularized, what she had always wanted to do might be possible. The messengers of the Goddess of Agriculture came with goodwill. They hoped to build some shrines and temples in the city of Mordor. The Goddess of Agriculture would send priests and druids to guard the city. These people would guide the farmers in farming and teach them how to deal with some natural disasters. Sometimes it was not enough to rely on the protection of the realm of the gods. Modor City had a big harvest this year, on the one hand, because Søren's realm changed the climate. The magic lock of Modor City made the environment more suitable for farming. At the same time, there was also the fertilizer made by Saruman. However, agricultural farming would also have other problems. The Druil and priests of the Goddess of Agriculture were masters in this area. They could know that farmers should cultivate more rationally and meticulously.
There was no way for the high priest to decide this kind of thing.
She quickly connected with Søren through her mind, and then gave the messenger of the Goddess of Agriculture a reply after Søren agreed.
The granary was set up in the south of Modor City.
This year's food was definitely not enough to finish. The City Hall of Modor City now had nearly one million Kindler's generous finances. The income from selling food was not enough. Therefore, under the arrangement of the City Hall, the Golems, workers, and witches were working together to build a large granary.
The plan budget given to Gloria by the City Hall was a large granary that was enough for the one million people of Modor City to eat for 20 years.
It was difficult for such a granary to be built by ordinary people. It must be built with the help of witches and magic. Therefore, after Gloria signed, she immediately deployed more than a dozen witches to help. It was easiest to store food for more than ten years with the help of magic, because the spellcaster's library could be stored for hundreds of years without any problems.
With food in hand, there was no need to panic.
After the City Hall had enough food, they also began to move people from the south coast. According to their estimate, after the third batch of land was reclaimed, the population of Modor City could directly expand to about 500,000.
This could not only bring enough believers to the Lord, but also greatly increase the working population of Modor City.
The population ratio of Modor City had always been unbalanced.
In a city with a total population of less than 200,000, the number of troops accounted for nearly one-third of it. If the many fleets on the south coast were included, the total population of Modor City was less than 300,000, and the army was nearly 120,000.
The City Hall should balance this population ratio and add enough civilians to Modor City.
The southern continent was now in constant war, and the civilian class was displaced. The Principality of Rossard had recently set off civil strife. Mrs. Duke Of Red Dragon's rule over the Principality of Rossard had been shaken by the Church of Glory's announcement that she had colluded with the devil. Some great nobles had openly opposed her with the support of other forces.
There was no guilt in poaching the enemy's people.
The City Hall of Modor City was going to attract a group of refugees from the south of the Principality of Rossard to move to the towns around Modor City to cultivate the land.
Population was wealth.
What Modor City had to do now was to take advantage of the outbreak of the Avatar Crisis to plunder people from other places. When the population met the needs, Modor City could further expand its colonization. Modor City was not the only island suitable for survival in the outer islands. A city could be built on Treasure Island, and other islands could also be colonized.
But the premise of all this was that there needed to be enough population.
This was the same as the expansion plan of the temple, because all faith came from the population.
The faith provided by 200,000 people was completely different from the faith provided by one million people. This huge gap in quantity was enough to affect the weight of the entire temple.
According to the high priest's estimation, if Søren wanted to reach and maintain the standard of a great divine power, then he must have more than one million believers, and only this number could ensure that his divine power would not decline after he was promoted to a great divine power. Of course, the degree of faith could make up for the number, but the number of devout believers and fanatics was only a small number, so when considering, he could only use pan-believers as the standard. Because at that time, even if there were more fanatics, they would only provide more power. Fanatics and devout believers would die one day. When they died, the new believers might become pan-believers. At that time, if the number did not meet the standard, then it would still enter a period of decline.
There was once a god who relied on 200,000 or 300,000 believers to promote to a great divine power.
But with the death of these fanatics, in less than a hundred years, he, who still had 200,000 or 300,000 believers, directly declined to a mid-level divine power. At that time, many new believers did not meet the standard of devout belief at all.
The quality would decline over time, but the number might increase!
