Lord of the People: My Troops Have Mutated

The seeds were planted much faster than expected.

Just when it was getting dark, Lin You had already received the news that the planting was completed.

They were all planted in the leeward zone outside the city, a large piece of specially reclaimed land, just enough to block the wind and sand with the city wall.

This made Lin You couldn't help but sigh, these residents were really used to living a hard life, and every one of them worked without hesitation.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Lin You sent the Wood Demon Dragon to fly over Huangsha City to check on the situation of the citizens.

However, I unexpectedly discovered that there was no cheering celebration or lively meal in the city as expected.

On the contrary, everyone held a cloth bag in their hands and hurried back to their homes cautiously and with faces full of joy.

"Mom, do we have meat to eat?"

On the street, a little girl looked at the linen bag in the hand of the woman next to her with rosy cheeks.

The woman has a sallow complexion and sunken cheeks, but there is unconcealable joy in her eyes.

She said softly: "Yes, the lord gave us a lot of meat today, saying it was to reward us for cultivating farmland. Let's use some to make broth tonight, and the rest will be dried and stored for future use. eat slowly."

"Great, I finally have some broth!"

The little girl jumped up and down, jumping for joy.

It's as if drinking broth is such a happy thing for her.

Similar scenes were happening in every corner of the street at this time, making Lin You frown and then gradually relax.

These people

I am really used to living a hard life.

He was not even willing to finish the meat he was given at once, but had to save it and eat it slowly.

Fortunately, Xue Changgui said that the meat was a reward for his people to cultivate farmland, probably because he wanted them to feel at ease.

Lin You couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and at the same time, a trace of inexplicable emotions emerged.

What is a lord?

The lord is not only the owner of the territory, but also the pillar of the territory.

Compared to the many things he faces now, perhaps he can truly be called a "lord".

What's more, he also expects these territorial residents to develop and provide him with the power of faith.

Thinking of this, Lin You clicked on the territory information and found that the power of faith behind the territory level had increased by 3 points.

It seems that his actions today gave the citizens a sense of belonging and respect for him as a lord from the bottom of their hearts, which finally increased the power of faith.

No wonder he always felt as if his strength had increased slightly.

If this trend continues, it may not be long before he can accumulate the 500 faith points required for upgrading.

Turn off the territory information and turn on the regional channel.

Because it was getting dark, the messages on the channel began to increase, and many new lords like him appeared.

"Brothers, let me ask you a question. It's been a day since I've been here. How come my power of faith hasn't increased at all?"

"It's the same for me. I was assigned a territory of 5,000 people, and I haven't seen any increase for a day."

"A group of new bumpkins, the power of faith does not increase the faster it increases with the more people it leads. Do you understand faith? You have to lead people to have faith in you!"

"You thought you were playing single-player in Novice Village? Do you know what a lord is? Don't be a lord if you can't even manage the people you lead."

"Haha, don't laugh at these newcomers. They have just arrived. What can they know?"

"That's right, I didn't get a chance when I first came here. Now it's the turn of rookies like them to try it."

"One piece of news for one hundred mana, let's just chat here."

Sure enough, as Mr. Mo said, there are many lords in this principality who arrived earlier than them.

As soon as he saw a new rookie lord joining, he immediately started joking and made those new lords afraid to show up.

But Lin You also got a very important message from their conversation.

The increase in the power of faith does not only depend on the number of people in the territory.

Although the number of territorial residents will also have an impact, the most important thing is to give them a sense of belonging and dependence on the territory.

Just like the people under his control now.

Life was a little bit harder.

But he knows how to be grateful, and these three points of faith have already crushed all the newly arrived lords.

After watching the regional channel and world channel for a while, I didn't find any news about regional blockade.

It may not be easy to find clues from here.

After all, the culprit is not a fool, so how could he publicize such a thing.

In desperation, Lin You had to turn off the channel and do other things first.

After all, I have just moved here and there are still many things to prepare. This is not the time to watch people and chat.

And he was busy until late at night.

Early the next morning.

Lin Youtian woke up at dawn.

After simply washing up and putting on his coat, he quickly came down to the territory.

After a night of accumulation, the Fire Lotus provided him with more than 300 magic energy.

[Building name: Lotus Bathing in Fire]

[Building Level: Level 6]

[Resource acquisition: 30 mana/hour]

[Introduction: A lotus flower containing magic energy that can grow in any environment, and its level increases with the territory. 】

The fire-bathing lotus rose to the sixth level, and the amount of magic energy it provided per hour increased to thirty points.

Although it was a lot, it was still a drop in the bucket for him.

Even many new buildings cannot be built.

For example, the territorial shield he just discovered.

[Building name: Territory protective shield]

[Building introduction: When the territory is attacked, it will automatically open to protect the territory. The effect is extremely strong. The higher the level of the territory, the greater the consumption and the need to recharge. 】

[Charging consumption: (territory level x 1000) mana/time]

[Construction requirements: 500 stone, 500 magic powder, 2500 magic energy]

Lin You had been looking forward to this protective shield for a long time.

When he found it in the building list yesterday, he was happy for a long time.

As long as he has this protective shield, his territory will become much safer.

Don’t worry about your territory being destroyed immediately if attacked.

The 6,000 mana required to charge the sixth-level territory is acceptable. After all, it is for emergency use at critical times.

However, this magic powder and magic power stumped him, and he didn't know where to start.

So after eating something briefly, Lin You called Xu Zhong, the steward next to Xue Changgui, and asked him about things around the territory.

"Lord, do you want to ask where there are monsters and magic powder near us?" Xu Zhong stood in front of Lin You, extremely respectful.

"Yes." Lin You nodded, "You have lived here for so long, you should know something, right?"

"Of course I know. Magic powders are sold by traveling merchants who occasionally pass by here. As for monsters, they can only be found deep in the Gobi."

"Are there any merchants passing by here?"

Lin You was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, because this is the junction between the Wilderness Kingdom and the Flowing Fire Kingdom. Sometimes traveling merchants from the Wilderness Kingdom come across the Gobi to do business. We buy many things from the merchants."

"The border between the two countries?"

"Yes, you can reach the Flowing Fire Kingdom through this Gobi." Xu Zhong replied respectfully, "But I heard that no one dares to enter the Gobi recently due to the turmoil of monsters deep in the Gobi. It will probably take a long time before any merchants will come."

"So that's it."

Lin You suddenly realized.

He didn't expect that there was another principality beyond the Gobi. It seemed that this place was really remote.

But this is also a huge opportunity for him.

If he can open up trade between the two countries, it will definitely be extremely beneficial to the development of his territory, even more beneficial than those lords assigned to rich territories!

But immediately, Lin You suddenly thought of a question and said:

"That's not right. According to what you said, the desert is full of monsters. How did those traveling merchants get across?"

"Don't you, Lord, know about cultivators?"
