Chapter 370 Agricultural Cave
Compared to the treasury of the Knight Kingdom in the Golden Plains, the treasury that Roland and Hela found in the Green Tide Control Area did not surprise Roland.

These treasure troves preserved in the Green Tide-controlled area are all stored in the material world, and there is no special space to store their wealth and extraordinary resources.

These treasure troves have been preserved only because they are located in relatively secret places and have been concealed and defended in various ways, plus a little bit of luck.

However, although their treasure house is not placed in a special space, the wealth and resources stored there are substantial.

There were so many gold, silver, treasures, extraordinary resources and extraordinary knowledge that Roland and Hela's two space bracelets were filled up several times.

However, since there was no space core to transport, after the space bracelets were full, Roland could use magic to teleport directly back to Apocalypse, empty the two full space bracelets, and then use Hela as an anchor point to teleport back to the Green Tide control area.

Therefore, Roland and Hela's treasure hunt went very smoothly. In less than a month, Roland and Hela had completely emptied all the planned treasure houses.

The wealth looted from these treasure houses was much greater than Roland had imagined.

Roland had completely underestimated the extent to which the feudal nobles would exploit the people under their rule. Not to mention the coreization of the occupied areas, the War Committee now even had the funds for the subsequent reconstruction plan.

The gold, silver and jewelry looted from these treasure houses are more than enough to support the development of the War Council for the next five years, and that's even taking into account various major projects. If these major projects weren't counted, it might be able to last even longer.

Roland originally thought that he would be satisfied if he could plunder half of the funds for the reconstruction plan. However, he still underestimated the exploitative power of the Donnar Knight Kingdom.

Roland is looking at it purely based on stereotypes. Perhaps some of these treasures were not obtained by exploiting the common people?
However, Roland didn't care about these. No matter where the wealth came from, now that it had entered the War Council's treasury, it all belonged to the War Council.

If any royal descendant of the Knight Kingdom is dissatisfied, then they can confront the War Council.

Roland wanted to know. All the Donnar knight states were destroyed, and Donnar's War Council was now the only powerful one. Given the current situation, which royal descendant would be so blind as to jump out and seek death?

The army of the War Council was not established just for show. They are no pushovers. If they can fight the green-skinned orcs, they can naturally fight humans as well.

Even if the Silver Empire helped them to collect the wealth, the War Council would not be able to give them back.

In addition, if someone in the committee wanted to summon the spirits of the Knight Kingdom, Roland would not show mercy.

If they want to split the War Council, they are no longer ordinary feudal remnants and must be dealt with severely. However, this is not the case with the War Council at present. The main reason is that they had fished in the core area before and killed a group of people. Later, when they went south, the feudal nobles and their men of the coalition army were severely killed by the War Council.

In addition, the occupied area is still under strict control. If you dare to jump, the War Committee will dare to kill you. Given the current feudal and low human rights advantage of Donnar, there will not be any big problem even if the War Committee kills people in a bloodbath. Therefore, no one dares to jump again.

Therefore, under the temporary order created by absolute violence, the well-funded war committee's coreization project in the occupied areas went very smoothly and did not encounter much hindrance.

Even if there are some minor obstacles occasionally, they will disappear quickly. After all, the War Council has superior violence. Even if it cannot solve the problem, can't it solve the people who caused the problem?

Low human rights advantage, kid.

Therefore, when Roland and Hela returned from the Green Tide control area after completing the excavation, what they saw was a thriving war council.

After dealing with some accumulated government affairs that needed to be handled by him and checking the situation of the committee, which was indeed very good, Roland did not choose to stay in Apocalypse, but took Hela to the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

Even without Roland, Julius is doing a good job. Since everything is going well, let Julius work harder. The more capable you are, the more work you should do.

The administrative affairs were handed over to Julius, and Roland had to focus on exploring and hunting for treasures.

Taking advantage of this rare free time, Roland thought he could try hard to dig up more funds from the Dragon Ridge Mountains and try to solve all the future funding problems of the War Committee in one go.

However, the situation in the Dragon Spine Mountains was much better than Roland had expected. Because the War Council had absorbed the dwarves and goblins who were most adapted to the Dragon Spine Mountains, and after Kan'ozu was killed by Roland, the unrestrained Green Tide completely withdrew from the Dragon Spine Mountains, the danger of the Dragon Spine Mountains had decreased a lot.

After the danger posed by the green tide was eliminated, the committee's Dragon Ridge Mountains Exploration Team became much more proactive and continued to attack boldly and proactively along the Dragon Ridge Passage.

Therefore, after Roland provided the approximate location, the exploration teams in the Dragon Ridge Mountains followed one after another to conduct a carpet search of the location provided by Roland.

Although the exploration team members were not as strong as Roland, and they did not know how to use prophecy spells to navigate directly, they relied on their numbers and efforts to scan every inch of the location Roland had circled, and successfully found most of the dwarf ruins that Roland had mentioned.

As for the dwarven ruins, the exploration team also had a lot of experience. Although their individual cracking speed was far inferior to Roland's, they had more people. One ruin could have dozens or even hundreds of experienced explorers cracking it. Moreover, while one ruin was being cracked, other ruins were also being cracked at the same time.

Therefore, when Roland returned from the green tide control area, all the ruins that Roland had marked for the explorers had been found, and more than 90% of the ruins had been cracked, and the supplies had begun to be moved out of the ruins. The remaining ruins had also been almost cracked.

There is only a treasure house that is suspected to be handed down from the country of many clans. The explorers can only crack the surface protection and are completely helpless against the real protective structure.

And this treasure trove was one of the reasons why Roland went to the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

The treasure trove preserved by the clan states that was excavated at the Silver Gate last time left a deep impression on Roland. It was an important driving force that supported the War Committee to overcome the difficult period.

However, according to Roland's memory, the only legendary gem that can be found in the treasury is the black crystal in the West Dragon Ridge Mountains. Therefore, this treasury should not be as exaggerated as the treasury of the Silver Gate.

But it is still a considerable fortune, no matter how much or how little, just go and get it first.

Roland and Hela followed the passage of the Silver Gate and entered the interior of the Dragon Spine Mountains. The interior of the Dragon Spine Mountains is a huge mountain space, which is connected to each other, forming a mountain world and special ecology unique to the Dragon Spine Mountains.

In addition to the dwarven territories on the surface and inside the mountains, there are also a large number of cave spaces in the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

After all, the dwarf territory is limited, but the population of a large empire is not a small number. Therefore, during the rule of the Kingdom of Clans, these cave spaces of various sizes are where most dwarves live.

Depending on their functions, these cave spaces can also be roughly divided into agricultural, casting, residential, and military areas.

Although thousands of years after the collapse of the clans, these cave spaces have been completely abandoned, leaving only lifeless and lifeless ruins of dwarven buildings, at most there are some cave creatures entrenched in these building ruins.

These cave spaces are the real foundation that supports the kingdoms of the clans. It is also because of the existence of these caves that the potential of the Dragon Spine Mountains has been released. The potential of the entire Dragon Spine Mountains added together is higher than that of Donnar.

The once glorious Kingdom of Clans, without occupying the entire Dragon's Back Mountains, was able to compete with the Central Kingdom at its peak by relying on countless caves and a dozen dwarf territories.

Although the importance of cave space is self-evident, the War Committee currently does not pay much attention to cave space, and its main focus is on finding dwarf territory.

After all, during the war preparation period, the War Council mainly focuses on military development and needs resources, not living space.

Although there may be good things in the cave space, in the final analysis, the numerous cave spaces are just blood bags being sucked blood by the dwarf territory. In terms of real value, hundreds of cave spaces are not as good as a dwarf territory.

Moreover, there are too many caves and they are too large, making it difficult to find them. But it is different in the dwarf territory. As long as you find them, you will definitely find good things.

After the war, when the War Committee entered a stage of peaceful development, it did not lack room for survival.

Due to the committee's exploration and excavation, the Silver Gate has been cleared of several layers of space, enough to accommodate all the dwarves and goblins of the committee.

Not to mention, the War Council also found the gem land and two dwarf territories, which were enough for the dwarves and goblins within the council to reproduce and survive. There was no need to waste time and energy on the thankless task of cleaning up these caves.

However, although there was no large-scale cleaning of the cave space, after Roland provided the exploration team with some locations and intelligence, the cave space mentioned by Roland was cleaned out by the exploration team after a while.

Since the exploration team adopted an exhaustive method to search for treasure, any possible cave space had to be cleaned out and thoroughly checked. Therefore, in addition to those cave spaces that actually contained treasure, the exploration team also cleared out several cave spaces where nothing was found.

Based on the principle of not wasting what could be cleared, Roland made use of these cave spaces. The land was relatively fertile, and the original agricultural caves were reused to grow mushrooms for the goblins.

Unlike the dwarves, whose agriculture has been declining because they can import food directly, the goblins, who have been living in the Dragon's Back Mountains and can only be self-sufficient, still have a very good level of agriculture, and many goblins are good at growing mushrooms.

Therefore, the committee easily recruited a large number of goblins who were willing to farm, and using the improved mushroom seeds provided by the botanical garden, new agricultural caves were successfully rebuilt.

In an agricultural cave near the Silver Gate, Roland and Hela hid their figures. They stood at an entrance of the agricultural cave and looked down at the agricultural cave in front of them.

Fluorescent vegetation grew above the cave like dim stars, and on the ground, straight, slender vines were wrapped around the earthen pillars beside the road. Fruits hung on the vines, emitting a faint fluorescence.

Although the brightness of these fluorescent lights is not high, the illumination range is very wide, illuminating the pillars and the surroundings. The soil pillars illuminate the agricultural caves in front of them.

In addition to the fluorescence released by these earth pillars, there are also some strange machines flying around on the ground, releasing fluorescence. They patrol back and forth in their respective areas, illuminating the corners that are difficult to reach the stone pillars and blocked by mushrooms.

After working for a while, these strange machines will return to the top of the stone pillar, land on it, and slowly absorb elements to restore their energy.

Under the fluorescent light, the goblin farmers are also busy cultivating the mushroom crops growing in the mushroom fields.

As improved crops, these cave mushrooms grew very well under the goblins' careful care and some even grew taller than the goblins.

These were naturally designed by the committee specifically for the goblins.

Although goblins have dark vision, they still prefer light. However, due to having lived in the Dragon's Back Mountains for a long time, the only light they can accept is faint fluorescence, and they cannot accept light that is too glaring.

When living in Donnar, the goblins slept during the day and came out at night. However, this does not mean that the goblins cannot be active during the day. They just don't like too glaring light, which does not mean they cannot accept or tolerate it.

If you encounter a weak goblin during the day, it is likely that it did not get enough sleep.

The fluorescence of the agricultural caves is of a specially designed intensity, which is adaptable to both goblins and dwarves who are accustomed to living on the surface. However, for surface races such as humans and halflings, it is a little dim, but still visible.

In addition to these peaceful, prosperous and thriving scenes, there are also well-equipped goblin troops in the agricultural caves. They are stationed in the passages between the agricultural caves and other abandoned caves, guarding against possible threats from the abandoned caves.

Abandoned caves are not necessarily safe. Although many abandoned caves look quiet, some dangerous cave creatures may suddenly emerge from them at any time.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, troops need to be stationed in the agricultural cave to be responsible for defense.

In addition, on the roads leading to the agricultural caves, there are some patrol teams with relatively simple equipment, patrolling back and forth to maintain the security of the agricultural caves.
