"Is she pregnant again?"

When the view of the Swamp Territory appeared on Linke's computer screen, he immediately opened the family panel and discovered that Lucia was pregnant again.

That's incredibly efficient!
Moreover, Linke discovered that York had changed!
Good heavens! Lin Ke exclaimed.

It had only been four hundred days since they last met, and York had already broken his promise and taken two mistresses.

Lin Ke exclaimed that his bloodline potion had been given away for nothing!
You scumbag! You've even managed to fool the 'gods'!

However, upon further reflection, Lin Ke felt as if he had actually gained something.

Isn't this the result I wanted?

York is better off being a womanizer!
Otherwise, how long would it take for him to gain feedback and experience? Relying on Lucia's life alone is nowhere near as fast as having many people together!

Moreover, thinking about it carefully, York probably wouldn't have done this without Lucia's consent, right?

After all, York himself suffered greatly because of his status as an illegitimate child.

"Could it be because I was too generous with the rewards last time?"

"Lucia, this clever woman, intends to fulfill the gods' will as quickly as possible in order to repay their grace?!"

It has to be said that this was the only reason Lin Ke could think of.

Moreover, as far as Lin Ke knew, a woman as intelligent as Lucia must have realized his need for the Swamp Territory bloodline to grow stronger as soon as possible.

So, in order to prevent York from losing the divine grace that was like that of a saint, and even to repay the favor he received last time, he made such a momentous choice?
Yes, that should be roughly the same.

"Two unborn children?"

"Then in the next simulation, the needs of five children should be met, and it seems that the family's 'many children, many blessings' buff should be upgraded."

Lin Ke is very satisfied with the current situation.

"Indeed, such loyalty is rare!"

"My lavish reward was well worth it."

Lin Ke was in a good mood, and at the same time used the mouse to zoom in on the view.

This time, he also toured the entire town of the swamp territory from beginning to end.

Centered around the Baron's Palace.

Taking advantage of the slightly elevated terrain, the entire swamp town was built around this area.

Now, this area is even more lively.

The town was bustling with traffic, and there were also many people in the market area.

Of course, not all of these people were subjects of the Swamp Territory.

After all, as the territory in the western region closest to the Monster Mountain Range, the largest flow of people here are merchants coming and going, as well as mercenaries who have already established small mercenary outposts in the Swamp Territory.

These mercenaries hunt magical beasts near the wasteland to support themselves.

As for what kind of monster was being hunted, Linko didn't care, and neither did the Rock Steel Dragon.

After all, as long as it's not one of the three beast clans bound by a blood pact, it doesn't matter; as for the others, it doesn't matter.

Just as monsters are hunted, so too are mercenaries.

It's just a matter of the strong preying on the weak. How many can mercenaries hunt? This poses no threat to the Rock Steel Dragon at all.

It's threatening; there's no chance of surviving if you enter the wasteland.

Therefore, with the addition of a considerable number of miners, small merchants, and peddlers, the daily transient population in the entire swamp territory is now at least six or seven thousand.

If it weren't for the rumors of an impending Warcraft tide, this place would probably be even more lively.

As for whether there will actually be a Warcraft craze? The people who come here don't really care, after all, fortune favors the bold.

After surveying the entire swamp territory, Linko was finally satisfied.

It feels so good to gradually expand your territory.

Not to mention, the Rock Steel Dragon itself also claims a temporary territory of over 130,000 square kilometers of the Monster Wasteland.

If Linko wanted, he could even have York quickly expand the actual claimed territory of the 'Swamp Territory' again.

However, it is not necessary under the current circumstances.

After all, York is not strong enough. So what if he officially has a territory of the size of a viscount?

The human kingdoms have both requirements for the pioneering lords: they must have both territory and strength. Neither can be lacking.

Moreover, it would be unwise to suddenly expand even further.

Knowing full well that a monster tide is about to break out, continuing to expand territory is either insane or blatantly telling many people that the Swamp Territory might be related to the so-called monster tide.

Therefore, there's really no need for it right now.

Furthermore, if the Swamp Territory has any needs, the Rock Steel Dragon can simply have the monsters obtain them.

When resources are plentiful, what could be more cost-effective and safer than quietly and rapidly accumulating strength?

Therefore, Lin Ke is currently very satisfied with the development of the swamp territory.

If I had to pick one thing I'm not happy about, it would probably be that Yorke is too conservative.

Why not recruit another batch of knights and squires?

This is not good; it's better to have more capable people.

In this way, the territory can develop more rapidly!
While the Rock Steel Dragon possesses considerable magical power, it cannot directly aid the development of the Swamp Territory on the surface. Therefore, Linko believes that the human knights and squires of York can boldly expand their influence further.

With healing potions guaranteeing a high success rate for blood transfusions, and the abundance of low-level magic cores and monster blood provided by the Rock Steel Dragon saving the cost of buying bloodline potions, why not rapidly strengthen your power? What are you waiting for?
If possible, Linko even planned to help York hunt a mid-level magical beast at the foot of the Magical Beast Mountain Range this time.

The core and essence of a mid-level magical beast are used to replace York's low-level bloodline.

This will also speed up York's progress towards the third tier, or even the intermediate tier.

Although there are some risks, there's nothing that can be done about it, since the game's rewards this time don't include Bloodline Potions.

In short, Lin Ke was quite serious about what he was going to do in this game.

So he stopped wasting time and switched directly to the perspective of the Rock Steel Dragon.

At the same time, he discovered this through the blood pact data panel.

The Giant-Toothed Rat King has reached the next level! And it's already close to the second level, so it seems it's consumed quite a few magic cores and magic crystals.

The Timberwolves also improved significantly during this campaign.

Clearly, these two were the biggest beneficiaries of this conquest, aside from the swamp territory.
