There was not enough manpower, and the skeletons could not be used. Satan's great plan was about to run aground before it even started.
Of course, he did not want to give up, nor did he want to wait too long, so he looked at Sui Xiong.
If the mortals could not do anything, they could only ask the gods for help.
Sui Xiong thought for a moment and asked, "Leon, Olian, Anna, can you transfer manpower from your three territories?"
At present, although the territory of Geerteng, Garth City, and the territory of Keane had their own countries, because the Church of the Void Mask had an absolute ruling position there, they could almost be regarded as enclaves of the Republic of Northwest. A labor force of 1,000 people was really unimaginable for the Republic of Northwest, but if they were distributed among the three territories, it should not be difficult to complete the task, right?
Olian Geerteng answered first, "We can transfer 200 to 300 people here, but I'm afraid we can't do more. Agriculture, stationery factories, and medicine fields all need a lot of manpower. "
"I'm afraid I can't transfer 300 people here." Anna Keane, who usually didn't speak much and had truly learned the art of "using her ears more than her mouth", sighed. "Keane territory has a small population to begin with."
"Then leave the rest to me," Leon said with a smile. Leon said with a smile. "But give me some time — about two months. Within two months, I will gather the rest of the people."
"They must be reliable! There must be no tricks in the middle! "Satan emphasized," Otherwise, if there is a problem, it will be a big problem! "
"That's why I need two months," Leon said confidently. Leon said confidently, "Don't worry. In two months, the people I will send to you will be absolutely loyal and reliable!"
So this matter was settled. Madame Teague would try to gather as many materials as possible according to the current material reserves, and the three territories began to recruit and transfer manpower to prepare for the start of work in two months.
After the meeting, Kalisa Riley, the governor of Garth City, asked worriedly, "That's five or six hundred people. Can we really transfer so many people? For such an important matter, it is not reliable to recruit people from outside … "
After decades of training, Kalisa was no longer the "Number One Pretty Face on the East Coast". Although she might not be able to be called a capable official, she was at least not worse than most of the lords in this world. She knew the situation of Garth City better. After a little calculation, even at present, it was difficult for Garth City to transfer so many surplus labor forces.
"What's so difficult about that?" Leon smiled. "We can replace the workers in some of the projects that we are currently working on and use the people we have recruited to work on the projects here. We can also send the time-tested and reliable workers to the Republic of Northwest to help build the magic array. Two months is enough for those newbies to slowly familiarize themselves with it. It won't cause any delays. "
Kalisa finally understood his plan and nodded repeatedly.
This was actually quite a simple matter, but most people couldn't think of it at the moment.
Of course, even if Olian Geerteng and Anna Keane thought of it, they might not be able to do it. The Geerteng Territory was relatively remote and had a small population, so it was not easy to recruit new people. The Keene Territory was convenient to travel, but the surrounding territories were not friendly to them and almost surrounded them, so it was more difficult to recruit people than the Geerteng Territory.
In the past, when they recruited people, they usually used the Teleportation Formation to recruit from other places. This not only cost a lot, but the people they recruited needed to settle down first and could not be put to work for a while. So for them, they really couldn't transfer so many people, and they didn't mean to shirk responsibility.
In contrast, Garth City not only had convenient transportation and developed commerce, but it was also the overlord of a large area around it. In the face of the sword of the "Sword Sage," the heroes who dared to say "no" had almost all gotten a glorious ending. It was believed that they would be praised for their bravery in their respective Holy Kingdoms.
As for the remaining people, they had already lowered their heads and even sent their children to Garth to study and be hostages. Even if they had more guts, they would not dare to stop Leon from doing things.
The name "King of the Seaside" was not just for show!
If Leon wanted to recruit people, there was basically not too much difficulty. The only trouble was that there might be too many spies among the newly recruited people. So he had to send local workers to the Republic of Northwest to support the construction, and the local construction work was handed over to the newly recruited outsiders.
As for whether there would be spies among these newly recruited foreign workers? Would these spies do damage? Leon didn't care about this at all.
If there was a spy making trouble, he would write it down in his black book. In the future, when he had time, he would personally go to the country with his sword and discuss with the heads of the countries who had sent the spies.
Of course, his attitude must be friendly and cordial, but whether the other party would get an acute illness because of poor health or something, he did not know.
Anyway, it had nothing to do with him. Whether it was the sudden stop of his heart, or the sudden suicide, or the inexplicable words he wrote and then breathed his last … None of it had anything to do with him. Anyway, he had an alibi.
How could a master at the peak of the legendary level leave a loophole when he wanted to find a little trouble for others!
Soon after, the three territories began to recruit people.
Coincidentally, at this time, the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs was also recruiting people. However, they were recruiting people to invade the Dwarf Kingdom, and the three territories that believed in the Void Mask were recruiting people to build their homes. In a situation where the salary was about the same, many low-level adventurers would rather go to Garth City to be workers than to be soldiers for the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs.
This was not just a matter of money. Although it was more difficult to be a worker, it was not as easy as being a soldier, and there was no extra income from winning a war, but who could guarantee that the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs would definitely win?
The adventurers were very well-informed. During this time, the relationship between the Orc Empire and the Dwarf Kingdom was warming up. The new emperor of the Orc Empire, Ilo, even said that if the Dwarf Kingdom really encountered a major crisis, he did not mind going into battle to help his new friend. Although this was certainly just for show, it could be seen that the Orc Empire's support for the Dwarf Kingdom was very strong.
With the support of the Orc Empire, the Kingdom of Dwarves would no longer be the weak kingdom that had been defeated by the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs and had lost a few kings in battle. Whether the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs could achieve a better result in the "Broken Cloud Mountain Campaign" this time was still a question mark!
The official propaganda was naturally not trustworthy. At present, among the more common views among the adventurers, even the most optimistic one believed that the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs would only have a slight upper hand this time. It was basically impossible to want to win consecutive victories like in the past and seize large amounts of wealth and mineral resources.
The more pessimistic view was that this time the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs would definitely suffer a defeat, and it was only a matter of how much they would lose. The most pessimistic view even suspected that the army of the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs might be defeated this time, and that they would be counterattacked by the allied forces of the orcs and dwarves, and lose the land that they had occupied in the past.
No matter which possibility it was, in short, this war would definitely be more difficult. People would die in hardship, and of course, mercenaries would die first. If there was no other choice, then it would be fine. Since there was the option of "going to Garth City to work," most adventurers, after weighing the pros and cons, decided that they would rather go a little farther and go to Garth City, except for some bold and skilled people, or those who valued money more than their lives.
After all, it was safer to be a worker, and adventurers wanted to make money, not to risk their lives!
Therefore, unknowingly, Leon had actually dealt a big blow to the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs without moving a single soldier, and strongly supported the cause of the Dwarf Kingdom's resistance against the invasion.
