Heart of Empire Chapter 13: Set sail

One week later, in the morning, Dane stood on the deck of the Long Sail, looking at the Shawan Harbor that gradually disappeared from sight.

"Boss, when can we get to Comilla?" Little Tommy next to him poked his head out and asked.

Dane replied without looking back: "It will take about a week."

"So long?"

"Well, it's far away."

"I heard that Comilla is a deserted island, full of black rocks and wasteland. There is no way to cultivate crops, and there are so many monsters. Let's buy this one from Gudel for more than 700 gold coins. Deserted island, is it worth it?"

Dane glared at him: "Are you questioning my decision?"

Tommy licked his face and said, "How dare I, but the food we have in reserve can only last two hundred of us for two months, and we will have to come from the mainland all the time. Buy, it seems that there are wars going on everywhere in Schindler recently, and the price of food is also rising... I am really worried."

"Don't worry so much, let's settle down in Comyrya first, and I will naturally have a solution for food and other supplies. At that time, I will send you back to do an important thing. "

"What is it?"

"After we settle down in Comilla, you have to go back to Schindler to recruit refugees. The people in our Horror Mercenary Corps are all fighters, fighting and killing people is not a problem, but developing a The entire deserted island is powerless. You have to recruit some farmers and craftsmen."

"Recruiting people? Can we make a living?"

"I said you don't need to worry about it, so I don't need to worry about it. I naturally have a way to solve this matter."

"Okay."

After finishing the conversation, Dane's brows were still furrowed. He said that he was full of confidence, but in fact he had no bottom in his heart.

After killing the old ghost Baines, he took over the entire horror mercenary group quite smoothly, and issued an order to open up the deserted island of Cormyr. This order caused an uproar in the mercenary regiment. Everyone knew that Comilla was not a good place, and there was nothing lucrative at all. Why would you go to that ghostly place?

Although, Dane said that he has the means to reclaim the land of Cormyria, and will give the best treatment to the brothers who are willing to go with him, on the one hand, gold coins, on the other hand, the reclaimed land, but still One-third of the people finally chose to leave him.

In this regard, Dane's attitude is to let them leave. If you don't want to open up wasteland with him, then there is no need to force him to stay. The remaining people who are willing to continue to follow him are the important help.

Within a week, the entire mercenary group was mobilized. The mercenaries were ordered to quickly solve their tasks within a week, and sell all the property of the mercenary group in Rotten Wolf Town and some other goods, raising almost 20,000 gold coins.

Of the 20,000 gold coins, some of them were distributed directly to the members of the regiment as bonuses to strengthen people's hearts. Most of the others were replaced with various materials, such as steel, wood and stone. These are the things that are necessary to open up wasteland after arriving at the deserted island of Comilla. In addition, he also purchased a large amount of grain. The cost of eating and drinking for more than two hundred people is a rather expensive expense in itself.

At the same time, he also bought a ship, which is the Long Sail they are riding on now.

As a result, of the more than 20,000 gold coins, there are only four or five thousand left in his hands.

The Long Sail is a two-masted armed sailing ship with a slender hull and a fast speed, which can almost reach eleven knots. The displacement is about 2,000 tons, and the artillery from the Horror Mercenary Group was also placed on it.

At this moment, the Long Sail is almost fully loaded. More than two hundred people and a large amount of supplies were loaded in it. In other words, all of Dane's current belongings are on this ship.

If it was the past, Dane would be crazy to make such a gamble. Didn't see, when he proposed to Goodell to buy Comilla Island a few days ago, how happy was that halfling businessman? In such a ruined place, finally someone who took advantage of him was willing to be a successor, but this businessman was very happy. After talking about the price, Comilla Island was taken down with seven hundred gold coins.

A place that has only been discovered is a huge island of more than 5,000 square kilometers, and it only sells for more than 700 gold coins. It is conceivable how cheap this is. It is also conceivable how harsh the environment on this island is.

And the most important source of Dane's confidence lies in the tower of the empire in his mind, the base of the seven clans.

During this period of time, he has thought about it carefully. In the beginning, he planned to build a town hall for the human race on Comilla Island. But when he learned more about Comilla, he changed his mind. He decided to change the starting race base to elves.

During this period of time, he has studied the memory fragments left by the inexplicable evil spirit that haunted him a week ago in his head~IndoMTL.com~ He learned that the opening base of the elves , that is, the huge world tree, has a very powerful ability to improve the geographical and geological environment. Even in a real hell, if a world tree takes root, it can create a large piece of land full of vitality—of course, the premise is that the world tree can survive in hell.

The geographical environment and climatic conditions of Comilla Island can't be worse than the real hell, right?

With the World Tree to improve the land, coupled with the elves' agricultural buildings - the Moonwell and the Fountain of Life, Dane is sure that he can transform the barren land of Comilla Island into a pure land on earth.

However, this also brought about a problem - in Florence or Schindler, the two areas closest to Comilla Island, there are not a large number of elf settlements. If you want to find the elves, the nearest ones are the Nancy elves in the Central Mountains, and the Elsis Forest at the foot of the Danangs Mountains further north. But these two places are very far away, and the elves are the most nostalgic for their hometown, and they are rarely seen in human society—Dane has been in Schindler for so long, and he has only seen two elves in total , one of them was a slave snatched by the slave hunting group.

It is obviously very unrealistic to attract a large number of elves to such a remote place as Comilla. But fortunately, among the building series of the elves, or all races, there is a special building that is beneficial to population growth-the refugee camp.
