Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 91 Space and the Steel Dragon, Space Travel (13)

The space is in motion, rippling like water.

The giant steel dragon stood upright, its head held high, and its height was over thirty meters.

It looks exactly like a real ten-story residential building.

The dragon's scales shimmered with a metallic, rock-gray luster under the sunlight.

The dragon's wings spread out, like magnified bat wings, and the edges of these bat wings were like sharp blades, gleaming with a cold light.

The human body is truly too small compared to the size of a dragon.

Even though the dragon was only at the sixth rank at this time, its strength had already entered the latter half of the sixth rank.

Moreover, the spatial attributes activated within his body, as well as the slight fluctuations in the aura of a 'false god,' shocked the bishops present.

Two of the high-ranking bishops felt a particularly strong sense of dread, as if they were about to be crushed and devoured by this terrifying high-ranking creature in the next moment.

The Rock Steel Dragon was visible to all the humans present.

They could all see the rhythmic ripples in the space around the dragon, like water ripples.

This sensation is so mysterious that some people even thought it was a phenomenon caused by the refraction of water vapor.

The increase in strength that Lin Ke gained from advancing to the sixth rank was far greater than he could have imagined.

There are already thirteen skills.

Although the bloodline of spatial power has become the main attribute at this stage, Lin Ke's character has always been an earth-attribute rock-steel dragon, so he still retains the characteristics of a rock-steel dragon in appearance.

This has led to a growth trend where space is the primary factor and earth is secondary.

Furthermore, at the fifth tier, Linko also chose the direction of the dragon's subsequent growth as gigantification, so at present, the dominant characteristics of the Rock Steel Dragon are the most obvious.

As for spatial attributes, although they are primary, they are close to having no attributes, which determines that their external manifestation exists in an implicit way.

In Lin Ke's view, the most important force in this promotion is the [Spatial Travel] weak rule skill that suddenly appeared after the promotion.

Space travel:
"1. Contract Blessing: Ignore spatial obstacles and use the blood contract object as an anchor to perform ultra-long-distance spatial traversal in all large world maps of the game. Limited to three times per day."

"2. Regular Traversal: Within a single map of the real world or game world, players can perform directional, regular, anchored spatial jumps anywhere they can see, and can even carry additional personnel; however, there are limitations, and it consumes a huge amount of magic power. Players should explore the ratio of power consumption to the traversal distance on their own."

This skill is undoubtedly a divine skill for Lin Ke at this stage.

With this skill, Lin Ke can arrive at any time if his blood pact partner is in danger and ensure their safety.

The most important thing, of course, is to ensure York's safety.

York's importance as Lin Ke's number one "pet" is beyond doubt.

Secondly, this so-called weak-rule space travel skill has an additional boost in the game world, which allows Lin Ke to jump across the 'map' in a timely manner.

For example, at this stage, second-round players have already begun playing in that unknown world.

In short, the emergence of this skill undoubtedly represents another extreme boost to Lin Ke's strength.

After quickly familiarizing himself with the power of the sixth rank, Lin Ke finally turned his attention to the tiny crowd in front of him.

The five new bishops were simply repeating the same rhetoric they had previously used with the current Pope Tyre.

Furthermore, during this process, Lin Ke also used the power of the fragments of the Book of Truth to directly seal the power of the five bishops.

After feeling the magic within his body being imprisoned, and even feeling powerless like an ordinary person.

When the five bishops looked at Linko again, their expressions had completely changed!
"The power of my lord! It truly is the power of my lord!"

"Since our lord has temporarily lent such power to Your Majesty, we have no reason to doubt it!"

"However, Your Majesty, do you have any plans with our Lord that require our cooperation in this descent to earth? If so, we beg Your Majesty to issue a divine decree, and we, the believers of truth, will certainly defend our Lord's path of truth and glory to the death!"

Among the five bishops, one of them was now looking at the dragon with an incredibly fanatical gaze.

The feeling was as if I was about to participate in a grand event similar to an ancient myth.

The bishop was already overwhelmed with emotion at the thought of his fame being sung throughout his life and after his death.

As soon as the bishop finished speaking, even Bishop Eamon, who had been looking somewhat solemn, looked at Link with awe and anticipation.

Faced with these 'cute' guys.

Lin Ke then chuckled and said:

“There are things you can do, but not now.” “At this stage, you should focus on comforting the believers of the truth.”

"Isn't the subsequent expansion of the Viscount's territory, and the subsequent relocation of you, the Church of Truth, enough to keep you, the earthly believers of Truth, busy?"

Let's wait for now!

Lin Ke certainly has times when he can use these guys.

However, we need to settle these guys down first.

The construction of the Swamp Territory, and even the subsequent construction of the Church of Truth, are massive projects. If possible, Linko would even need them to work with York to make the Swamp Territory as impregnable as an ironclad fortress.

At the very least, it should be able to resist all external prying and conspiracies.

In this way, after the swamp territory has been developed for a year or two, there is no need to worry about trouble arising from behind when we go to explore the second map.

Linco has only one request for York and even these bishops at this stage!
That is to expand the territory of the Swamp Territory as much as possible, regardless of cost or expense.

We took in as many displaced people and serfs as there were.

The short-term goal is for Link to ensure that York has at least 200,000 people in the Swamp Territory!

Two hundred thousand people?

Are you kidding me? How many people are there in the entire Silver Lion Duchy?

It seems to be only around 3.4 million, right? And after the last battle, the losses must have been enormous.

Moreover, compared to other baronies, a population of five thousand in the Swamp Territory is already a lot in York's eyes.

Little did people know that in the Kingdom of Eagles, a baronial territory typically had a population of no more than a thousand.

A viscount's 10,000-person lordship is just right, and even for some established viscount families, a population of over 50,000 is already quite impressive.

Therefore, a population of 200,000 is a huge burden for York.

Putting everything else aside, just the food, drink, and lodging for 200,000 people requires a large amount of arable land.

Not to mention, the influx and outflow of migrant workers results in a terrifying consumption of resources.

Linkotti's demand for 200,000 people was, in York's view, the standard for an earldom or even a marquessdom.

However, this does not mean that Lin Ke did not carefully calculate this cost.

You should know that the Church of Truth has now settled in the Swamp Territory.

Once the church of the Church of Truth is completed, it will definitely attract a large number of people to come for pilgrimage and residence.

While the swamp territory is currently relatively lacking in resources and arable land.

But don't forget the continuous support from the Church of Truth!
In short, money and appeal to the common people will never be lacking.

And all York needs to do next is clear the land!
Yes, a lot of land clearing!
Linco indicated to York that they could clear land to the west and south of the swamp territory.

The western part is flat and has a large river. If it continues to expand, it can also border the grassland area.

To the south lies the western border of the Silver Lion Principality, with a buffer zone of about thirty kilometers in between.

In other words, the future expansion of the Swamp Territory will be based on the current location of the Swamp Territory's capital city as the western border.

Then, heading towards the Silver Lion Duchy, they began to cultivate the land with a strategy of expanding westward at a width of over thirty kilometers and an infinite length. The territory would probably be an irregular rectangle!
As for how much the area should expand, Lin Ke thought that to meet the standard of abundant resources for a population of 200,000, based on the normal situation in this world, it would need to be at least 1,500 to 2,000 square kilometers to ensure that the entire territory had ample space.

Is the swamp territory really being expanded to the standards of a marquisate?
York was already dumbfounded, and the other bishops who were silently listening to the conversation between Link and York were also extremely surprised.

Is it big?

Lin Ke doesn't think it's big at all!

This area is roughly the size of a typical county in the real world, and even in the real world, Lin Ke's hometown is enough to support 500,000 to 600,000 people.

In addition, the entire wasteland beneath the Monster Mountain Range now encompasses over 200,000 square kilometers under the control of the Lord of the Forest Dragons.

However, even this 200,000 square kilometers is still far from the limit of the wasteland at the border between the Monster Mountain Range and the human world.

It is easy to imagine how low the world's productivity is!
Even with superhuman strength, the population that could be supported by the same area, or even fertile land, would be three to five times lower than in reality.

If placed in an infertile region, the difference would be even greater, ten times or even twenty times.

Lin Ke could only sigh at this.

This world possesses extraordinary power, yet it doesn't use it for people's livelihood, which is quite characteristic of slave-based civilizations.

People shouldn't be too full. Slaves are meant to be exploited. How can the extraordinary power possessed by noble lords be used on lowly mud?

Farming was the business of slaves and commoners, while noble lords had far too many things to consider.

In short, after explaining everything, Link also upgraded York's Oracle Badge and temporarily granted him three Limit Break Potions.

Thus, the group of people finally set off on their way back, satisfied.

I have something to do today, so the last two chapters will be posted a little later. Please don't wait up. New players should take a look and make some revisions. Thank you for your understanding.
