The Despair Swamp is different. After the source is cut off, although the Jiangnan Plain will not return to its original appearance in a short time, the water level will be reduced by 60 to 70% in just a year and a half.

By then, there will only be 20-30% of the land that can be used to cultivate fertile farmland in the city. In a short period of time, it will be enough for the Yongye Group Army.

After all, at its peak, the area of ​​Jiangnan Plain was only larger than that of Manyu Army Leader.

What's more, this place has been soaked in the swamp for so many years. It is nourished by natural fertilizers such as rotting vegetation and fish and shrimp carcasses. It is unknown how fertile it has become. As long as God does not deliberately find trouble, a bumper harvest in ten or eight years can be expected.

.

"Should the Spring Thunder Plan be slowed down for a while? Our preparations in other aspects are very different. Once it is launched, we will be forced to walk on a single-plank bridge. We can only move forward but not retreat." Marshall asked with a hint of admonishment.

When the Spring Thunder Plan was first formulated, the eight to ten-year expectations were given, which was far more than just an estimate of the growth in the number of people in the Evernight Legion. There were many calculations and considerations.

For example, the estimation of food reserves of Yongye Group Army, the estimation of army training, etc.

According to the original plan, the Yongye Army had completed the reclamation of the ancient Jacob River channel and squeezed the output of this land to the maximum extent.

At that time, even if there were consecutive bad years, the Yongye Group Army would at least have enough food for the whole group for two or three years. Coupled with the reclamation of other mountainous areas, even if something happened in the Swamp of Despair, they would still be able to survive.

There is also enough room for maneuver.

But now, the Yongye Group Army has just received its second wave of bumper harvests, barely able to provide food and clothing for most of the soldiers and civilians. For strategic considerations, it even sold part of its grain to the slave rebel army, leaving far from a surplus.

Most of the military and civilians have just tasted the benefits of a large amount of cultivated land. If the Spring Thunder Plan is implemented now, internal resistance will be greatest.

How could Sean not understand these principles? He looked worried and said: "The situation is developing in an unfavorable direction. I'm afraid that it won't be long before a new wave of residents arrives. We can't keep them out."

Right? So, prepare in advance, and we will have one more choice when the time comes. If possible, I don’t want to start this plan in advance.”

"Are you worried that the beast attack will worsen?" Marshall said in a straightforward manner, understanding what Sean was most worried about.

The most enlightened and active group of Andis people have been almost divided up by the Evernight Group Army and the Walled City Alliance. The rest are scattered in the mountains, living in isolation and poverty.

Life.

Being self-contained, self-sufficient, conservative and exclusive are their common problems.

The Yongye Group Army used familiar faces to lead the way and a large amount of urgently needed cheap goods, and managed to establish a relatively fragile relationship with them.

The Yongye Group Army originally planned to use this fragile relationship to infiltrate and win over the mountain people bit by bit to achieve the goal of assimilating them, thereby increasing the number of people under its control.

This process is quite long. Without three to five years of hard work, it is difficult to see actual results. Moreover, everything is done in a subtle way, and the Yongye Group Army itself will not feel too much pressure.

However, a large-scale wild beast attack completely disrupted their plans. In order to maintain the image and relationship they had finally established, the Evernight Army had to intervene with force.

Even so, some stubborn and conservative mountain people are hostile to the mountain patrol team.

I believe that as time goes by, their attitude will be fundamentally reversed, because the wild beast attacks will become more and more intense, forcing the mountain people to voluntarily leave the mountains, and the Yongye Group Army will be their only choice.

It’s not that Marshall looked down upon the Walled City Alliance. Even under the auspices of Ban Hebrew, the Walled City Alliance had undergone considerable changes and became more closely connected. However, Ban Hebrew’s own knowledge limited his vision and made him pay more attention to immediate interests.

.

Not to mention the other mountain people in the Andis Mountains, he did not take care of even the citizens of the Walled City Alliance themselves. They formed a stronghold to defend themselves. Marshall doubted whether the senior officials of the Walled City Alliance had discovered the beast.

Is it an abnormality in the body, or is it simply attributed to a chance event?

According to the current situation, if it continues to develop, the speed of those mountain people coming out of the mountain will increase significantly, not to mention the situation will further deteriorate.

At that time, it will not be the mountain people who come out of the mountain on their own initiative, but they will be forced out of the mountain. There may even be a wave of refugees, which will increase the pressure on the Yongye Group Army exponentially.

If handled carelessly, a sharp conflict will break out, adding cracks to the monolithic Yongye Group Army.

Sean did not directly answer Marshall's question, but his gloomy face was the best answer.

Marshall nodded and said: "I know what to do. In the next period of time, I will treat the Spring Thunder Plan as a top priority and make other corresponding preparations as soon as possible."

"As long as you have an idea of ​​this matter, the fewer people who know about it, the better." Sean warned.

"Understood, I also participated in the formulation of the confidentiality regulations, and I know them by heart." Marshall responded solemnly.

"It's good to know!"

Sean and Marshall discussed some relatively trivial matters, and after reaching an agreement, they hurriedly went their separate ways.

Not only Sean is busy, Marshall is also busy. What he needs to keep an eye on is not just the Spring Thunder Plan, but the Yongye Army's overt or covert plans. There are not a hundred, but there are also eighty. Although not all of them are under Marshall's supervision, hundreds of them are under his supervision.

More than 90% of them will be linked to finance.

Once the Yongye Army has something to do with money, it will most likely have something to do with him. Fortunately, the Yongye Army adopts a relatively advanced double-entry accounting method from bottom to top, so some accounts are clear at a glance, otherwise Marshall would have been tired.

Got down.

Even so, the financial department under his leadership is expanding again and again. It won't be long before they have to apply to establish a relatively independent department like the Eagle Eye Special Service Section and the Military Oversight Service.

At first, the number of people was small, and everyone could stir food in the same pot. Now, the Yongye Group Army is larger than the ordinary hereditary earl territory. The relatively simple military control at the beginning is naturally inappropriate. It is gradually withdrawing to form an independent

Part, first the law and then the politics.

Sean also returned to the medical research base non-stop, and it has become his permanent residence.

The current medical research base is more like a training ground for beasts, with roars of beasts everywhere.

Ever since those birds and beasts left the Grand Canyon of Odin for a hundred kilometers, they have returned to their true nature—the nature of beasts.

Including the super Andis giant bear, which Darnell named Tiny with a bit of bad taste, it seems that he no longer feels threatened. He does not follow Darnell step by step like he did at first. At the beginning, he behaved so obediently and purely.

It is for self-preservation and survival.

However, after Darnell used strong force to suppress the little tricks he made in the first few times, he became much more honest. However, there is still a long way to go before he can be completely tamed.

The super Andis giant bear named Little One is still good. As for the other beast leaders, they are even more wild, especially the super Andis giant tiger that Tagore always wanted to tame. Its stubborn temperament is comparable to that of a bull.

Now we are at war with Tagore, one person and one tiger, and we have to fight twice every day.

According to Tagore's own claim, this was his original tiger taming technique.

The Giant Tiger of Andis has an unruly temperament and only recognizes existences that are stronger than itself. If you want to tame it, you must defeat it before proceeding to the second step.

Judging from the current situation, Tagore has a long way to go. This real Andis tiger has the temperament of becoming more courageous with every setback, and under the training of Tagore, a champion knight, its combat effectiveness is increasing day by day.

Not only this giant tiger, but other mutated beasts have not really tapped into their potential.

First of all, it has not been long since the mutations on their bodies have been obviously activated. Whether it is those ordinary mutated beasts or those tough beast BOSS, most of them still use the same old method during the battle. If they are not forced into a dead corner, they will never think of using what they have just obtained.

A near-term magic-like talent.

The power of magic-like talents when used alone can be imagined. The real magic masters of this world, the warlocks, often need strong bodies to support their combat effectiveness, let alone those relatively simple magic-like talents. If they are not integrated into

In battle, it is difficult to achieve a comeback.

These beasts have become much smarter after being stimulated by the power of magic. Compared to ordinary beasts, they are far from being able to think as complexly as humans.

Take the most cunning and treacherous prairie wolf as an example. After special research and comparison by the Institute of Biological Anomalies, many things are due to its biological instincts and true logical thinking. Compared with the alpha dog Button, it has a certain

distance.

If there is no human factor involved, if they want to fully develop their magic-like talents and integrate them into their own instincts, it will only take several generations of accumulation and teaching.

Now Tagore has helped the Andis giant tiger integrate in this aspect in disguise. The gap between one person and one tiger is too big. Just like the champion knight devil training plan that was launched at the beginning, strong pressure and actual combat are used to force progress.

At first, it may just be used unconsciously, but as time passes, it will naturally become conscious use. As time goes by, it will become integrated into one's own instincts.

The process is not much different from knight training.

The magic-like talent of this giant Andis tiger is somewhat similar to Fury. After it is turned on, both strength and speed will be improved to a certain extent, but it is not as big as the concentration improvement. However, as a species with no obvious shortcomings,

This kind of magic-like talent may be the most suitable for it.

Once it is activated, it is like entering an explosive state, and the combat power soars.

Secondly, their physical condition has not yet completely stabilized. Their bodies are not just blown up, but their body size has certainly increased, but neither muscle strength nor bone strength has kept up.

This requires a lot of nutrition and time, accumulated bit by bit.

Still on the same premise, if there is no human intervention, if they want to reach the peak, it will take them years and months, and some may not even have the chance to reach the peak in their entire lives.

But now, with the sufficient, reasonably matched and nutritious food provided by the Biological Anomaly Research Institute, and the human-supervised training, they are rapidly entering their post-mutated peak state, and this process itself is the process studied by the Biological Anomaly Research Institute.

After Sean returned to the medical research base, he walked around for a while and then went straight to the newly built stables and horse farm.

After these beasts were transported back to the medical research base, they were sorted and placed.

When they were outside Odin's Grand Canyon, carnivores and herbivores could mix together and live in peace, it was purely due to unknown high-frequency signals.

If we dare to keep them together now, it won't take long before there will only be a few left.

Although Sean did not personally capture the mutated beast, he also received one afterwards.

In fact, it does not mean that whoever captured the mutated beast will get it.

The Yongye Group Army is a military-managed force. How could the management be so loose and haphazard?

At most, those who have contributed more will have priority based on merit, including those few champion knights.

Of course, Darnell is an exception. After all, he is not a member of the Evernight Army. He is purely helping. As long as the other party is willing, the little one is his personal belongings.

However, he was rejected by Darnell and given to the Yongye Army. It was not because of how upright he was, but because he was now alone in the Jacob Army State. The church was established with the help of the Yongye Army, and it was difficult to support himself.

, let alone feed such a behemoth.

Besides, he wasn't good at it and didn't have much time to train it. It would be more conducive to its growth if it was handed over to the Biological Anomaly Research Institute of the Yongye Group Army.

Even Tagore did not own the Andis Giant Tiger, but assisted the Biological Anomaly Research Institute in conducting experimental training. To obtain it, it would require the meritorious service of the Evernight Army.
