Suhlen's body felt warm. These magic dishes made with pterosaur meat and some precious magic ingredients were not only delicious, but also had some special effects.
However, because Suhlen's physical fitness was too strong, these magic dishes could not strengthen his body again. Although they could not increase his physical fitness, they could let his body recover quickly for a period of time and temporarily increase his magic resistance.
Although these magic dishes did not have much effect on Suhlen, they were still very effective on others. Hathaway had the best effect. These magic dishes were very effective on people with low physical fitness. As their physical fitness increased, the effect would gradually decrease.
This time, the main ingredient was Cryopterus meat. It increased Suhlen's ice resistance and doubled his physical recovery speed.
The ones who ate the most were the two gluttons, Boulder and Johnson. However, magic dishes were not something that could be eaten casually. After seeing these two guys eating until their faces were red and their foreheads were covered in sweat, their whole bodies were like cooked prawns.
"Sir Suhlen, these two can't eat anymore." The halfling Frodo looked at the two and quickly reminded, "If they eat too much, their bodies won't be able to bear it."
Suhlen stepped forward and directly knocked out the two gluttons who were still fighting over the food. Then, he threw them to the other barbarian guards and asked them to send the two guys back.
This time, the food made by Frodo was very sufficient. Although the group of people ate and drank, they still did not finish eating. However, everyone was almost full, especially the few female spellcasters. They had small appetites to begin with.
"Don't waste the rest. Pack it up and take it back." Suhlen looked at the people who were full and said. Although the food was not made by him, the ingredients were provided by him.
After hearing Suhlen's words, the originally lazy people immediately became energetic and began to discuss the distribution of the food. Even Grace, who was always calm, did not give in. She argued until her face was red. However, they soon agreed on the distribution plan. Kris and Hathaway got the most food. The rest of them did not have much difference.
Frodo was now the chief gourmet consultant of the northern town. Of course, this was recognized by Suhlen. Every month, Suhlen would give him some money and various magic ingredients for experiments. At the same time, he would also teach him a few new dishes. This former adventurer had been completely led astray by Suhlen.
Although Suhlen was not a chef in his previous life, as a veteran of the Foodie Nation, he knew how to eat even if he did not know how to cook. In his previous life, there were eight major cuisines and other minor cuisines. Although he did not remember all of them, he still knew dozens and hundreds of them.
After distributing the food, Suhlen left with Kris and Hathaway. After eating a magic dish, it was necessary to exercise. Suhlen had eaten a lot, so he felt a little hot. Of course, this was a normal reaction. He was going to take Kris and Hathaway for an after-meal exercise.
With a fast recovery buff, Hathaway and Kris were no match for him. However, they also had their own unique skills. For example, Hathaway's use of grease was absolutely superb. The feeling could only be described in one sentence: indulge in the smoothness of silk.
As a succubus, Kris's physical fitness was much higher than Hathaway's. Her coordination was also very good. All kinds of rope skills and postures were perfect. Suhlen felt that she was better. However, she was still no match for Suhlen. In the end, it was Angela and Anna who came to the rescue.
It was a quiet night.
Since there were no other threats in the wasteland, Suhlen began to prepare to build new cities around his territory. According to the current immigration rate, the city would have fifty thousand people in a year at most. Other than the refugees from Florence, the city had also accepted a barbarian tribe.
As the new ruler of the wasteland, Northern Town City was not as violent as the orcs. There were many Barbarians living in Northern Town City, and the nearby Barbarian Tribes knew about it. On top of that, the living conditions in Northern Town City were quite attractive to the Barbarians.
The reason why the barbarians did not submit was because they knew the rise of the city would alert the other two large tribes in the wasteland. There would be a great battle when the time came. No one had high hopes for the city back then. No one had expected the situation to suddenly change. No one had expected the orcs to be defeated by the city after defeating the centaur tribe.
Then, the remnants of the Centaur tribe directly joined the Northern Citadel. The Northern Citadel became the only overlord in the Wilderness. The other tribes naturally knew what to do. However, these tribes weren't as important as those who had fought alongside the Northern Citadel, so Su Lun didn't treat them well.
In other words, if they wanted better treatment, they had to contribute to the city. It was the foundation of the city.
After the first barbarian tribe submitted and was accepted, the other barbarian tribes were also moved. There were not many large tribes in the wasteland, but there were countless small tribes with one or two hundred people. These small tribes were always in a precarious situation. Who knew when they would be destroyed or swallowed by other tribes?
In addition to other tribes, there were also some powerful magical beasts in the wilderness, such as the Ice Quetzalcoatlus killed by Su Lun. If they were targeted by them, those small tribes would have no power to resist.
The number of barbarians in the city had greatly increased after the barbarians submitted. Although these barbarian tribes only had one or two hundred people, they were still a lot. Soon, the number of barbarians in the city had exceeded a thousand, and the growth did not slow down at all.
Suhlen ordered the army to start recruiting barbarians. He was going to use them to form a heavy infantry. Although the barbarians had the disadvantage of being uncontrollable after going berserk, they were still very useful for attacking. The Kingdom of Florence did not want to use the barbarians because of the high cost and high casualty rate. They were expensive consumables.
However, the barbarians in the city were not consumables. The existence of the system had increased the barbarians' leveling up speed. They only needed to level up a few times, and they would be able to suppress most armies. If they were equipped with armor and weapons, their casualty rate would be very low. The city could afford it.
"Chris, how much money do we have left in the treasury? How many resources do we have?" Suhlen asked after signing an order.
"Kinnar has thirty thousand. We have one hundred and ten thousand units of food. It is enough for us to eat for a year. We also have eighty thousand pounds of iron ingots."
After hearing Chris' report, Suhlen said, "Take half of the money and resources. I am going to build a small city in each of the four directions of the city."
"Master, we have a limited number of slaves. It will be very slow to build four cities at once." Chris reminded him.
"I know. Let's build the cities in the south and east first. The city in the east is for the centaurs. They will send some people. Then, we will go to the wilderness and capture some slaves. We will send some more people over."
"They need to raise livestock. It doesn't matter if the infrastructure is not good. The housing and livestock pens must be good." Suhlen said with a smile.
"Let's move the refugees from the northern provinces to the city in the south next month. At the same time, send out a five-hundred-man army and some slaves to build the city. We will try to build the houses and walls before winter comes."
"Also, send the newly formed army out for actual combat training. At the same time, capture the slaves."
Kris recorded Su Lun's request and assigned it to others to carry out later.
"Master, if we capture slaves on a large scale, we will run out of food quickly." Chris said worriedly after doing some calculations.
"Don't worry about that. In a month and a half at most, the food in the city will be ripe again. I can't guarantee meat, but we will have enough potatoes. The slaves will be lucky if they have something to eat. Compared to their lives before, I think I am too kind."
Come to think of it, what did the Kobolds, Gnomes, and other monsters in the wasteland eat? Wild vegetables, insects, plant roots, other animals, and other goblins. They were always hungry and hungry. Working for Northern Town City was tiring, but at least they had enough to eat, and no one would kill them for no reason.
The construction of the new town quickly began. All kinds of money, resources, and manpower began to be transferred. The first to move were the Centaurs. They were looking forward to the construction of the new town. At least with the protection of the city walls, they would have more time to react if they were ambushed again.
The construction of the city in the south also started. The new city was about fifty miles south of the city. It was not too far away. If they were ambushed, they could hold on until the city's army came to their rescue. There were five hundred soldiers stationed here. Once the city expanded, the size of the army would increase accordingly.
After the new city was built, the three cities would form a triangle. The area within the triangle would be controlled by the city. Humans used this method to expand their territory when they were exploring the wilderness.
The five-hundred-man army escorted three thousand refugees and even more slaves and resources to the new city in the south. Suhlen personally led the team. The new city was built next to a lake. The lake was huge. Suhlen took a quick look and found it was a few times bigger than the city. There were plenty of aquatic products in the lake, and the land was fertile. Suhlen quickly decided to build the new city next to the lake.
