You, a dragon, are farming in hell

Actually, she didn't know much about how to manage a territory. In this respect, her elder sister, Eileen, was indeed better than her.

While she was said to be governing the northern border, she was actually solving the problems that the north was facing.

Perhaps we should summon all the ministers in the North and let them discuss how to develop the North.

She was responsible for handling the problems that arose during the development of the North.

If you encounter a problem she can't handle, go to hell and ask Lord Destin after you fall asleep at night.

Lord Distin knows a lot; he should be able to help her.

What she is doing now is turning the barren farmland of the North into fertile soil, so that all the people can have food and there will be no famine.

Turning barren farmland into fertile soil will probably take one to two years.

Make sure all the people have enough to eat. After Vivian and Xavier sell the Life Essence, the Fairy Tale Mercenary Group can help buy some food and store it.

In this way, there will be no need to worry about the people in the north going hungry or starving to death during the winter.

To enable children in villages throughout the North to read and write.

Build roads that will connect the villages in the north.

Sofia thought about it for a moment and decided that road construction should take precedence over reading and writing.

With the roads repaired, the northern army can quickly reach the villages in case of emergencies.

Let's focus on these two things this year.

Oh, right, and caravans too.

In a few more days, let Emily, Grace, Aston, and Dalton set off.

When the four of them left, prepare a horse-drawn carriage for them.

Or should we prepare four horses for the four of them?

Both the carriage and the horses were rather shabby.

The caravan's name was so imposing.

As a result, the horses ridden by the caravan members.

The members of the large caravan all rode exotic beasts.

The caravan's vehicles were all pulled by exotic beasts.

If only there were earth rhinoceroses in the North.

Earth rhinoceroses have scales on their bodies, making them less susceptible to injury and fright.

It's perfect for pulling carts.

Let Emily and the other three buy one somewhere else after they leave the North.

"Emily, how's Lyra doing lately?"

"Layla is a very good and sensible child. She has learned all the manners we taught her."

I also asked Lyra about the matter His Highness asked me to inquire about, and Lyra said she is very interested in pharmacology and wants to study it.

The child also said that he hoped to use what he had learned to help His Highness in the future.

"Then arrange for a pharmacist to teach Leila and see how talented she is in this area."

If she's good at it, let her learn it. If she doesn't have much talent, don't force her. Let her learn whatever she's interested in.

"Yes."

"Tomorrow morning, send someone to inform the ministers in the city to come to the castle to see me after breakfast."

"Yes."

Emily made a note of this.

She glanced at Sophia. Apart from the day she arrived in the North, when Her Highness Sophia met with the ministers of the North once, she had never summoned them again.

Tomorrow will be the second time.

"Your Highness, shall we have the ministers wait in the main hall, or in the garden?"

"Over here in the garden."

"Ok."

Sofia put the watering can on the ground, looked up at the sky, and seeing that it was still early, she thought she could read for a while longer.

Watch the zombie episode of "The Eye of the Dead"?

Or should we look at the herbs recorded in the diary?

Let's look at the herbs recorded in the diary first. Tonight, my soul will fall into hell, and Destin might let me try to concoct a potion based on the properties of these herbs.

Sophia casually found a place to sit down, took out her diary, and read about the hellish herbs from last night for a while.

Then I closed the diary, closed my eyes and recalled the appearance of the hellish herbs in my mind, and recited the medicinal properties of these herbs.

Anna returned at six o'clock in the evening.

After having dinner with Anna, Sophia went to the garden to digest her food. While strolling around, she took out the Eye of the Dead and looked at it.

At 8 p.m., Military Minister Griffin and Cyril came to the castle to pick up Instructor No. 64. To their surprise, Princess Sophia had not yet invited Instructor No. 64 up at this time.

When I met the two of them, I said I had something I wanted to discuss with them.

Griffin and Cyril exchanged a glance and sat down opposite Sophia. Emily brought out two cups of black tea and handed them to the two of them.

The two of them accepted the black tea and thanked Emily.

"Your Highness, is there anything you wish to tell us?"

"I hope you won't be afraid of what I'm about to say. I'm not telling you this so that you will necessarily carry it out, but rather so that I can discuss it with you."

"Understood, Your Highness. Please speak."

"Recently, I have mastered a cultivation method that can turn living people into zombies before they die."

This cultivation method can be practiced by the living. After cultivation, the living can choose whether to temporarily become a zombie before their death.

At this point, Sophia paused, glanced at Griffin and Cyril, and continued, "I'm telling you this because I suddenly realized that night that the cultivation method of turning into a zombie before death is very suitable for promotion in the military."

"???!"

Your Highness wishes to assemble an army of zombies?

Griffin and Cyril's expressions changed.

"Don't misunderstand me. I don't want the Northern Army to become a zombie army. This is what I'm thinking: soldiers will definitely go to the battlefield, and once they're on the battlefield, no one can guarantee they'll come back alive."

This would inevitably leave some soldiers with regrets. If, before going into battle, some soldiers had practiced this zombie-like technique, they could decide whether to temporarily become zombies before their death.

Chapter 135 Instructor No. 65, can we borrow your armor?

So that's what Your Highness meant.

They were terrified; they both thought Princess Sophia wanted to build a zombie army in the North.

However, even if His Highness did not have this idea, the matter that His Highness discussed with them was frightening enough.

Turning soldiers into zombies before they die would likely make them even more powerful in combat.

Wait, if soldiers choose to become zombies, does that mean they'll be zombies forever?

In this way, the soldiers who died in battle would eventually turn into a zombie army.

Griffin, with his slicked-back hair, looked worried. Had some bastard been trying to fool their prince?

Do they want to use His Highness to build an army of zombies?

Cyril, with his short brown hair, glanced at Griffin before his gaze fell on Sophia. "Your Highness, your idea is excellent, but there's another problem. Once the soldiers turn into zombies, will they be forced to live in the North as zombies?"

"No, soldiers who choose to temporarily become zombies can have their souls released after they return and see their families one last time."

My intention was not to turn the soldiers into zombies, but to give them a chance to come back and see their families one last time.

"Of course, I will only tell you two generals about this method of temporarily turning into zombies if you both agree and the soldiers don't object."

Actually, becoming a zombie isn't so bad. If the soldiers in the North were to become zombies, they might find being a zombie quite enjoyable.

She would then give those soldiers who chose to become zombies a chance.

An opportunity to become a zombie soldier of Lord Destin the Dragon.

Being a zombie for Lord Destin the dragon is more promising than being a ghost.

Cyril breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Princess Sophia's intentions were good.

This method of ensuring soldiers don't die with regrets sounds rather horrifying.

If word got to the major temples that the soldiers turned into zombies before they died, it would probably attract a lot of clergy to the North to exorcise them.

"Griffin, what do you think of His Highness's idea?"

Griffin glanced at Cyril, wanting to punch him. How was he supposed to answer that question?

Is Your Highness's idea dangerous?

Will it make outsiders think that the North has joined the dark side?

“Your Highness’s intentions are good, but... I’m afraid the soldiers won’t be able to accept it. After all... we in the North have also wiped out the undead legions before.”

Griffin voiced his concerns.

"It's alright, it's alright. If the two generals feel it's inappropriate, then let's not discuss this matter further."

Sophia took out a prescription from her spatial dragon scales and handed it to Griffin and Cyril. "This prescription can enhance the soldiers' physical strength. Take it and see if you can gather all the herbs. If you can, you can let the soldiers take a medicinal bath."

Griffin stood up, took the prescription Sophia handed him, glanced at it, and carefully put it away.

Their military wasn't luxurious enough to allow all soldiers to use medicinal baths to enhance their physical strength.

First, let the elite soldiers of the 65th Legion take a medicinal bath and see the effect.

If the results are good, their military will try to find a way to collect the herbs in the prescription in large quantities and gradually promote their use.

However, the prescription cannot be made public.

Princess Sophia had absolutely no suspicion of him or Cyril.

The prescription to enhance physical strength was given to him without any instructions.

Serving this prince is entirely based on one's own conscience.

As for the temporary zombie cultivation method Your Highness mentioned earlier, we'll ask the soldiers of Legion 65 for their opinions after tonight's training. If they don't object and are willing to practice it...

When they come to see His Highness tomorrow night, they should ask His Highness to tell them the cultivation method.

"Furthermore, Your Highness, there is another problem with temporarily turning into zombies. If the soldiers who have become zombies see their families one last time and want to live as zombies, then... what does Your Highness plan to do with these soldiers who have become zombies?"

"Let them stay in the North and live among the living?"

“That won’t work. Once they become zombies, they’re considered undead. They can’t stay in the North for long. I’ll find a way to send them where they need to go.”

"?"

Should we take them where they need to go?

Zombies are destined for hell...

So, Princess Sophia means... that she'll find a way to send the soldiers who have turned into zombies to hell?

I doubt many people would want to go to hell.

Even undead creatures... might not want to go to hell.

If all undead creatures were willing to go to hell, the human world wouldn't have so many ghosts, evil spirits, and undead armies.

That's not the point. The point is... Your Highness actually has a way to send zombies back to hell...

Even necromancers can't guarantee they can send evil spirits and zombies to hell.

Your Highness is a summoner who can only summon skeletons... What can be done?

Sophia got up and summoned Skeleton No. 64, but to her surprise, what she summoned tonight was not Skeleton No. 64, but an undead soldier wearing black and red armor.

Because she was wearing full armor, Sophia didn't know which skeleton she had summoned.
