Li Ran fell into deep thought while looking at the information about the city of gods coming from the heart of the castle.
Fengling Plain was originally a barren land filled with death curses.
At the beginning, there were only three people, Li Ran, Eureka, and Hart, and a bunch of skeleton soldiers. The development to the current scale can really be called a miracle.
But if compared with the major principalities in the pioneering area, the size of Starwind Territory is still insignificant.
In the Wolf Principality's counter-rebellion war, the 40,000 God-chosen warriors accumulated by the Starwind Territory in a year were able to play an important role not because of numerical superiority but because of surprise.
You must know that at that time, the Wolf Principality and the Machine Tribe each had millions of troops on display at the battlefield of the Wolf Fortress.
Even if the entire army of Xingfeng Leader were thrown on such a battlefield, they wouldn't be able to make a splash.
Star Wind Leader must be further developed.
Faced with the achievements he has made, Li Ran will not be complacent or deceive himself.
On the contrary, he is very calm and has always known clearly that Starwind Territory is located in the hinterland of the occupied area and is inferior to the principalities in the pioneering area in terms of resource endowment and external conditions.
In order to develop rapidly, Xingfeng Ling must constantly break through the obstacles to development.
Working behind closed doors will only lead to destruction.
In the war hall on the first floor of the city lord's palace, Li Ran sat at the head of the long table, Eureka sat on the left, and Maren and Dewey sat on the right.
As the former acting lord, Eureka reported:
"Lord Li Ran, according to your instructions, the current Star Wind Legion has been split into two parts to deal with the enemies in the Talengard direction and the Wolf Principality area respectively. Among them, General Hart is responsible for commanding the army in the Wolf Principality area. Unable to return to Starwind City for the meeting.”
"In addition, according to the arrangement of Minister Yin Besi, the Dark Alchemist Association of Black Cliff has moved its headquarters to Wilderness City. Together with the research mages of Hammerfall Town, they will accept the unified leadership of the Ministry of Magic Energy Technology to conduct research on magic energy scientific research projects. As the person in charge of Wild City and the head of the Magic Technology Department, Miss Yin Bessi needs to stay at her job in Wild City, so she is unable to attend the meeting."
Li Ran nodded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Where is the secret carving?"
Eureka was startled when she heard this, and then shook her head slightly: "Even I don't know where Miss An Ke is. After you ordered Star Wind Shadow to march into the development zone and secretly build an intelligence network, An Ke took her with you. The operators have disappeared, but we can contact her through a special channel."
Li Ran could imagine that she might be hiding in a city in the development zone, carrying out her secretive work.
There is no doubt that An Ji's work has achieved great results, otherwise Li Ran would not have found the Star Wind Shadow branch and operators in Falkenridge.
In this case, Li Ran looked at Mullen and Dewey who were sitting aside, and said: "Maren, Dewey, I came back from Falkenridge this time. The situation in the pioneer area is very bad. There is a conflict between the native residents and the descendants." The contradictions between China and the United States are deepening, and there may be unrest in the future, and our external environment will only worsen by then."
Mullen's face was serious when he heard this, while Dewey frowned.
Li Ran looked at Dewey and asked, "How are the demons in Talengard doing?"
Dewey straightened his body and introduced with a serious expression: "A small group of demon troops successfully penetrated into the underground world where Fengling Plain and Black Cliff are located, but they were all eliminated by us in time. The demons in Talengard have not yet discovered Star Wind City. However, with the return of the demon lord Nebiros, Talengard stopped the civil war and reorganized into one force. I am worried that after they unite, they will soon discover Starwind City and launch an attack."
Li Ran frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "General Dewey, closely monitor Talengard's movements. We must prepare in advance. If hundreds of thousands of demons attack in full force, we will be completely unable to resist it. Maybe... ....Only by asking for help from the Wolf Principality can we have any hope of solving the problem."
"Understood, Master Li Ran." Dewey nodded.
Li Ran looked at Malen again: "What's the current population situation in the territory?"
Mullen mused: "The harsh winter started more than half a year ago, but there is no sign of ending yet. The climate in Yashan has been completely chaotic. Under such conditions, heavy snowfall fell continuously in the Crow Principality and the Buck Principality, and many survivors The camps had run out of supplies and fled collectively to find a way to survive. Before the river froze, the Northern Rescue Fleet evacuated all survivors who arrived at the assembly point and left a large amount of supplies at the assembly point for those who did not arrive in time. Survive in the ice and snow.”
"On the other hand, in accordance with your request, Wilderness City has used the excuse of recruiting refugees for closed development three months ago to introduce a large number of refugees from the development area. Basically, the targets attracted are homeless and underfed. of bankrupt refugees.”
"The First Clan"
"Generally, refugees who have just joined will live in pioneer villages and towns on the outskirts of the wilderness and receive basic housing and food security. Only those who meet the requirements after strict inspection will have the opportunity to secretly arrive at Fengling Plains via Huanlong Port."
"During the three months since you were away, according to statistics from the Agriculture and People's Livelihood Department of the Government Affairs Department, a total of more than 85,000 survivors from the occupied areas or refugees from the developed areas flowed into the three core territories of Star Wind City, Black Cliff City and Wilderness City. Among them, 92% of people and families in extreme need received emergency material subsidies."
"The Culture and Education Department of the Government Affairs Department has increased the education and guidance for the refugee-transformed territory residents through a series of means such as adding general night schools and crafts schools. The Star Wind Shadow Troops have conducted strict inspections on suspected saboteurs and spies who have flowed into the territory. Investigate and deal with it.”
"For refugees who have undergone preliminary education and guidance and have basic loyalty to the Starwind Territory, our wartime economic and construction departments are gradually guiding and arranging qualified personnel to jobs throughout the territory. They can work without leaving Starwind On the premise of being able to claim their own rights, they are free to start a family and start a new life.”
Li Ran felt excited when he heard this. Malen was indeed a talented consul. In his previous exchanges with Li Ran, he had a deep understanding of Li Ran's vision and requirements for the functions of the Government Affairs Office, and he was able to do the complex work of absorbing refugees in a flawless manner. .
Although the report was just some numbers and proportions, Li Ran knew clearly what a huge systematic project this was!
Li Ran exhaled a long breath and praised: "Well done, Mr. Mullen! Only with talented people like you can the Star Wind Leader operate as an efficient whole!"
Malen said respectfully: "Lord Li Ran, I am just trying my best. In addition, I am worried that with the large influx of foreign people, news of the existence of Star Wind City will inevitably be exposed in the development zone in advance."
Li Ran didn't care, he smiled and waved his hand and said: "You have done it meticulously enough. It can be seen that you have brought out a mature team of political affairs officers. Don't worry about the possibility of information leakage. If it really happens, , then let nature take its course, we cannot stop the pace of development because of choking."
Yes, Li Ran knew that the secrets of the Star Wind Territory would one day be exposed to the world, and he was already prepared for it.
He had never thought of keeping Starwind City in his pocket and turning it into a tool and trap for him to make money. What he was worried about was being destroyed and attacked by potential enemies.
Now the Star Wind Leader is constantly developing and growing, and its ability to resist risks is getting stronger and stronger. The most important thing is that the Star Wind Guild that Li Ran developed in advance in the Wolf Principality has matured day by day. He has a highly disciplined and organized team. As a team of players, this core force will not cause any damage even if it enters the Star Wind Territory.
Li Ran's current arrangement is just to expose Xingfeng Ling in the mainstream public opinion, delay it as much as possible, and try to win more time for stable development.
Because before that, Li Ran wanted to complete the most important but also the most difficult task.
That is to lead the Starwind Fleet to the vast oceans to find the origin of the Dragon Blood Crystal.
