Awooo!
In the central plains of the Duchy of Garot, outside a campsite that had just been lit up after a long day of trekking.
As the white moon gradually rose, pairs of ghostly green eyes lit up in the dark primitive forest. Mournful howls rose one after another.
It was a pack of forest wolves, one of the most dangerous predators in the forest.
"Ah!"
Two screams came from the darkness.
"Not good, it's Fitch and Cam who went to get water! Prepare for battle! "
The leader of the advance party, who was assigning duties, jumped up and quickly gathered the hundreds of team members who were setting up camp to form a defensive line.
"Don't panic, fire!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bright lines of fire flashed in the forest. One after another, the hungry wolves that wanted to taste the delicious food in the night fell under their guns.
Among them, the gunmen who held the "Georgia Rifle" were the most outstanding.
The confrontation between human firearms and sharp claws and fangs was also vividly reflected in this wilderness development war.
The Georgia Rifle used .45 hexagonal cartridges. Its firing rate was two to three rounds, its effective range was 730 to 910 meters, and its maximum range was 1,200 meters.
It was a godly weapon for any shooter who was good at shooting.
At this time, it had obviously reached a certain level and gradually flowed into the hands of the unofficial advance party responsible for development.
However.
In the dense forest, the "Georgia Rifle" with a range of more than a thousand meters was a bit of a waste. The sharpshooters in the advance party were still equipped with the "Kentucky Rifle" in large numbers.
The difference was that in the past, this type of rifled rifle was almost all modified by gunsmiths, and the quality was mixed.
Now, the first choice of the sharpshooters was the superior product produced by Volkan Metals Company — the "Standard Kentucky Rifle".
The barrel was 1.17 meters long, the full length was 1.57 meters, the caliber was .44, the guard and stock were slender, and the weight was only 3.63 kilograms.
Because of the superior workmanship, small caliber, and long barrel, the standard Kentucky Rifle's effective range in the hands of experienced shooters could reach 300 meters.
The excellent firearms, together with the [Gunman Profession], which was not too harsh, allowed them to shine in this westward expedition.
Potential job holders only needed to hold a specific ceremony to start a solo trial.
They would carry daggers and firearms into the forest and live alone for a month.
During this time, they would rely on firearms to kill a prey that was impossible to defeat with cold weapons. Usually, this prey was a forest brown bear that weighed close to a ton.
Especially now, even their mysterious source, the "King of the Sky" Awaka, had joined the Duchy's camp, and the complete sequence of his class from grade one to grade three was now complete.
One day, [Gunman] might replace [Knight] and become the mainstream of the new continent.
The battle did not last for long.
A few minutes later, the wolf pack realized that their opponent was not to be trifled with. They left behind a dozen normal members and the corpse of a demonized forest wolf before hastily retreating.
Later, the advance party found the remains of their companions who were killed while fetching water. After burying them on the spot, they formed a circle and silently prayed for them.
"May the goddess protect your soul... may the Father....
Screech —!
A giant eagle with a wingspan of more than ten meters was circling in the sky above them.
Beep … Beep … Beep …
An ancient white bamboo flute was playing leisurely on its neck. It was the 'Song of the Eagle' that was passed down in many Atrian tribes.
In this land where the Tree of Rest was planted, they would not be given the chance to grow into a new spirit of nature.
Elvin would not leave them alone. Born from Olivia's [Soul Return], the mountain eagle was emotionless and operated according to the rules. It would naturally send their souls to where they should go.
This mountain eagle was not only a [Messenger of the Death God] that maintained the balance of life and death in the duchy.
It was also a [Guardian Spirit, Monitor] that could rely on the [Mind Network] to penetrate deeply into the duchy's political, economic, transportation, shipping, judicial, and other systems.
Just like the spirit that Elvin marked on the two statues at the "Cumberland Pass": courage, tenacity, exploration, and no hesitation!
The journey to the west was not destined to be smooth. It was bound to be accompanied by blood and death.
And the members of the advance party obviously would not back down.
Now.
The upper echelons of the duchy had officially established the industrial layout on the vast land of the duchy, with manufacturing in the east, agriculture in the middle, and animal husbandry and mining in the west as the main industries.
Through the [Mind Network]'s mapping.
This fertile and vast land that had yet to be developed, just the agricultural land alone was about 430 million hectares, accounting for about 18% of the world's agricultural land.
It was also a huge amount of wealth that everyone yearned for.
In order to accelerate the realization of resources and enrich the country's strength, the cabinet led by the prime minister had also proposed a series of supporting policies.
First, the land policy.
On the basis of maintaining the public ownership of land, the collective farm system would be implemented. The land would be subcontracted to individuals, and the land would be used as a shareholder to establish large-scale intensive farms.
Although the farmers did not have ownership of the land, they had long-term rights to use and management.
At the same time, with the duchy's government as the leader, the six regions would be further divided into states, cities, and counties.
Under the premise that certain conditions were met, the frontline pioneers could apply to establish low-level administrative units. Based on the contributions of the pioneers, they could enjoy some privileges.
Second, the immigration policy.
Any citizen of the duchy who was over 20 years old, or a foreigner who met the naturalization requirements and applied to become a citizen of the duchy, could obtain 65 hectares of state-owned land for living and farming purposes, and enjoy the rights to use and management.
This was equivalent to a huge amount of land attracting immigrants from the various countries of the source continent.
Third, the infrastructure development policy.
After tasting the benefits of the Coastal Railway, they naturally paid attention to the construction of infrastructure, especially the construction of railways, roads, water transportation, and other transportation facilities.
The Coastal Railway Company and a series of engineering companies were already rubbing their hands in glee.
Fourth, the policy to support the development of education.
Under Elvin's request, the cabinet also designed and formulated a grand education system that included elementary, intermediate, and state universities, and promoted free basic education.
Of course, such measures were not limited to the western region.
In particular, the "Million Gold Lion: Talent Support Plan" was launched to attract the world's most creative talents into the duchy.
Elvin knew very well that no social change could be achieved overnight.
In fact, before the completion of the "Steam Industrial Revolution," there were already many people researching electrical equipment.
He wanted to plan ahead and reserve talents in advance, take the lead in promoting the "Electrical Industrial Revolution" in the duchy, and establish a huge technological advantage in the competition.
Based on the current situation, the competition with the evil gods in the established game framework might last for many years.
It was still the same saying, middle-aged social animals with families were the easiest to manage, and the same was true for the opposing forces.
The better the development of the Lowland Republic and the Federation of Golden Palms, the more peaceful the evil gods would be.
At least now that a new world structure had just been established, no matter which side it was, they did not want to start another war in the short term and interrupt the progress of human civilization and the world.
If there were no major changes or accidents, even if there were a military conflict between the two sides, it would be maintained at a relatively low level, or it would be limited to below the table.
Otherwise, with the transcendent powers of both sides, as long as the table was flipped, no one would have a good life.
So.
Elvin speculated that there might be a large-scale war between countries in the future.
However, it should also happen "naturally" when both sides or even more sides were digesting their existing territories and developing to a certain bottleneck.
For example, the first time …
.....
St. Elvin City, White Swan Castle, Banquet Hall.
A small sumptuous banquet prepared by the Night Creature maids was not only to celebrate the smooth start of the "Westward Operation", but also to entertain Levina who had come from afar.
"Teacher, what's this?"
The group of disciples who had just divided the "Spiritual Origin" looked at each of them with a small cup of silver liquid in front of them and could not help but be curious.
"Just drink it, it's good stuff, I won't harm you."
After taking a sip of the wine, Elvin did not explain and just waved his hand to urge them to drink.
This was none other than the "Cleansing Pool of Holy Water" in the Heavenly Realm.
After an official Knight took it, they could expand their potential without any side effects and obtain the most perfect foundation.
And based on the original physical foundation, they could reach the peak of a Grade 2 official Knight in a month to a year.
Angel, who had long been promoted to a Great Wizard, already had the body of a "Primo" and did not need such nourishment, but the other disciples did not have the strength to do so.
Moreover, Elvin was looking forward to whether he could create a few more geniuses like Bach who could learn [Rapid Thunder Swordsmanship] and [Branded Swordsman] at the same time.
When the time came, they could replicate Elvin's path and be invincible in the same level as him.
Other than the students, only Molly and Gary, who were about to be promoted to Grade 3, were fortunate enough to obtain the "Cleansing Pool of Holy Water".
Sizzle!
Seeing the students drink the liquid in their cups and smack their lips as if they were not satisfied, Elvin smiled slightly.
Wasn't it just the fragrant bathwater of the goddess? Since the whole family had drunk it, he would not have to worry about being the only one who would suddenly die when he was exposed.
Smart indeed.
Among the direct disciples, although Bach was the youngest, because of the path he took, it was very likely that he would surpass all the other senior brothers and sisters except Angel and step into Grade 3 [Branded Swordsman] first.
Something worth mentioning was.
Now, the promotion of a [Branded Swordsman] no longer required Elvin to personally conduct a complicated ceremony like in the past. Instead, it could be completed directly with the person's own strength.
Just like the divine creature "Sea Monster King" Kraken, who was branded into the Origin of the World, the [Sea Monster Knight], Elvin, who was also a divine creature, was able to do the same thing.
At this moment.
Elvin suddenly had a thought. He had received a message from the [Faceless] from the Republic.
"Hmm? Using the country's credit to issue banknotes on a large scale? "
Immediately, a thought came to his mind. He turned to Levina, who was sitting beside him, and probed.
"Your beautiful majesty, you and the Alliance seem to have quite a lot of … gold?"
Upon hearing the word "gold," Rivenna immediately felt her hair stand on end like a cat. She said warily,
"What?"
