Chapter 167 Old Qi City

Since Roland was coming to Donnar, he had naturally made sufficient preparations.

His and Hela's space bracelets were filled with all kinds of necessary supplies.

Although the amount of food purchased was not much, if one was frugal, it would probably only be enough for a few days, but it was enough for Roland to make the transition in the early stages.

The First Order Knight looked in surprise at the warehouse that was suddenly filled with food, and he swallowed.

Roland turned his head and looked at him, speaking calmly.

"Go recruit some people, prepare to open the warehouses and distribute grain, and tell everyone that grain will be provided for free for three days. As for after that, if you want to eat, you can work. I want to renovate and expand the city. I want anyone who comes."

The first-level knight looked at Roland, then looked at the full granary, nodded, and decisively turned around and left.

After he left, Roland also looked at Hela and spoke.

"Next, we're going to be busy. Are you ready?"

"Ah."

Hela nodded.

Although Roland nominally joined the United Army, he actually joined the Locke Resistance Army, which was located in the northwest of East Nar and was led by the exiled knight Locke and composed of countless exiled knights.

These exiled knights basically have a blood feud with the Green Tide, and have basically experienced their countries being destroyed by the Green Tide. Therefore, the Locke Resistance is the most fanatical force in the United Army against the Green Tide. As long as they can defeat the Green Tide, they don't care about anything else.

Therefore, Roland chose this place. As long as he could demonstrate his ability to fight against the Green Tide and establish his determination to fight against the Green Tide, there would be countless exiled knights willing to be loyal to him.

As long as Roland keeps fighting against the green tide, they will be Roland's sharpest blade.

And it all started from this dilapidated city.

After Roland set up a magic circle in the granary to prevent the possibility of theft, the two left the granary and devoted themselves to the work in this city called Jiuqi.

Since the administrative structure of Old Qi was almost non-existent, Roland and Hela had to start everything from scratch.

In the next few days, Roland and Hela worked at high speed 24 hours a day.

First, through simple enchantment spells, a group of relatively simple and honest people were selected from the city’s residents and refugee camps to fill the various vacant low-level positions.

Roland first provided them with food and cured their bodies weakened by hunger, allowing them to have sufficient strength and energy to carry out his orders. At the same time, he also enabled them to suppress the weak ordinary people.

Although they knew nothing, they were relatively obedient in order to avoid starvation. They did whatever Roland said.

Therefore, Roland covered the entire city and refugee camp with his perception, and relied on his upgraded biological brain to coordinate, and passed his orders to every person through the promoted communicators.

Although Roland's administrative orders were delayed to a certain extent due to the running speed of the communicator, Roland's various administrative orders were still smoothly executed.

Prepare food, organize land reclamation, provide disaster relief, deal with refugees, expand the city, build new walls, adjust taxes, identify population and resources, renovate city buildings, build military camps, recruit and train new soldiers
Under Roland's micro-manipulation, the entire city, including the refugee camp outside the city, was forced to operate.

While Roland was micro-managing the entire city, Hela was also busy day and night. Although Hela didn't understand administration, as a spellcaster, Hela could do a lot.

At Roland's suggestion, Hela launched a strong attack on all the evil forces in the city and the refugee camp.

Although the first-level knights and the city defense forces may not be able to defeat these evil forces, Hela, as a fourth-level spellcaster, can naturally easily destroy them directly on the physical level. At the same time, Hela sent out the three-ring undead and gray crows under her control, remotely controlling them to carry out an all-round attack on all bandit nests near Jiuqi.

It took only two or three days for Hela to wipe out almost all the evil forces, sweep through all the nearby bandit dens, and kill nearly ten thousand people.

In addition to killing people, Hela was also responsible for maintaining order and emergency rescue. Once a riot broke out in a part of the city and it was too late for the communicator to run over, Roland would ask her to go there directly and use absolute violence to maintain order.

Of course, these are not Hela’s main tasks. Her most important task is to solve the food problem.

Since Jiuqi is located in the northwest of Donnar and is relatively remote, if one wants to buy food from the outside world, it is not only expensive but also difficult to transport.

Therefore, it is impossible to buy it, and you can only think of other ways, such as: spells.

After killing people, Hela spent more time outside the city, plundering all usable materials and absorbing and collecting various life forces.

After that, it is to use the looted materials and life force, through the strange machinery and props prepared in advance, to produce one big pie after another that is enough to meet the needs of ordinary people.

These large pancakes, one piece of which could satisfy an adult's daily needs, soon became the main food for the citizens and refugees of Jiuqi.

Although it doesn't have much taste, it's a good thing as long as it can fill the stomach. Those who have experienced hunger will not dislike it.

The art of making food, boy.

As a wizard who is proficient in all kinds of spells, Roland naturally has spells to solve the food problem.

The art of making meals, which was also jokingly called bread kneading in the previous life, consumes magic power and can directly knead bread with hands to fill the stomach.

This spell is a later-stage game extension of the magic of the machine. Almost every spellcaster will learn it.

A first-level spellcaster, if skilled, can meet the food needs of more than fifty people.

Of course, even if Hela was a fourth-level spellcaster, it would be impossible to meet the needs of the entire city by using magic power directly. Therefore, Hela would collect materials and life force everywhere, and use the matching magic props prepared by Roland to greatly reduce the consumption of magic power.

At the beginning, when Hela was alone, she felt a little stressed, but after the task of collecting materials was handed over to ordinary people, Hela felt a lot more relaxed and was able to devote some energy to studying the city's schedule and government affairs.

While learning, Hela took over some simple government affairs from Roland.

At the same time, Roland finally freed up some of his energy to start training the administrative staff who had already started to work skillfully, and began to unload the complicated tasks step by step.

After spending more than ten days training and letting them practice, Roland only needed to tell his officials roughly what to do. The people below would fill in the blanks and write up the plans and give them to Roland for review. He would make some minor revisions to ensure that there were no problems with the general direction.

Although it took only less than a month, the entire government system of Jiuqi was barely set up, all government affairs began to be handled in an orderly manner, and the poor people and refugees in and outside the city began to play their due value.
