Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 465: Chapter 186: Counting Losses and Spoils of War (Part 4)

All the bloodshed and sacrifices will ultimately be rewarded in victory.

Victory is the best motivation in this world!

With the support of 100,000 Golden Crowns, any difficulty will be overcome, and the territory will inevitably recover and develop at a faster pace.

Su Li calmed his emotions slightly and immediately arranged with Vandar: ”We need to restore production as soon as possible. I will order the dwarves to temporarily stop the military engineering in the territory, allowing the dwarf and ogre construction teams to fully help the people repair the villages and farms. This is also a good opportunity to implement the basic infrastructure proposals you previously suggested.”

This can be considered a situation where breaking is necessary for establishing anew.

The slow progress of the territory’s basic infrastructure was largely due to the inability of the territory to come up with sufficient finances, whether it be paving roads or building bridges, constructing divine temples, or building hospitals, all require the investment of gleaming Gold Coins.

Constructing a monastery alone costs at least 20 Golden Crowns, and building one in each village comes at the cost of hundreds of Golden Crowns.

Connecting the entire territory with roads, even dirt paths, for hundreds or thousands of miles would require nearly a thousand Golden Crowns. If upgraded to gravel paths, and wooden walls and watchtowers set up for the villages, it would require more than 2000 Golden Crowns.

Now, it’s essentially the Dragon Princess footing the bill for the infrastructure of the Hesse Territory.

Vandar immediately straightened his chest with enthusiasm, and before the harsh winter arrives, connecting roads to each village and constructing Dawn Goddess Church monasteries at every countryside post is his greatest political ambition.

Not only for compassion and rescue, but more importantly, for preaching!

Once the harsh winter passes, it’s time for the Spring Brings Life to All Things ceremony, which is the most important ceremony of the Dawn Goddess Church. The more believers pray during this ceremony, the more monasteries chanting simultaneously, the stronger the effect of the Father of Grains’ Blood Sacrifice will be.

It’s safe to say that whether the vision of border granaries can be achieved depends almost half on next year’s Spring Brings Life to All Things ceremony.

At least this year, the territory cannot achieve the vision of border granaries. After large farmland is destroyed, the grain of the territory will surely be prioritized for the people of the Hesse Territory, leaving little surplus for export.

Therefore, Vandar immediately said: ”Lord, our religious plans and the preparations by the nuns are complete; as long as the population is sufficient, we can start anytime.”

”Sufficient population?” Su Li looked at Dietrich and asked, ”Medical Chief, you ultimately cannot avoid this matter. What is the current population situation in the territory?”

Dietrich took a deep breath and solemnly said: ”Regarding war losses, I will follow Vandar’s approach and report some good news to the Lord first.”

”Although the territory’s military suffered heavy casualties, the courage and glory of humanity have earned the praise of the Divine Spirits. This epic victory has been spread through religious monasteries and minstrels. Moreover, some Church Knights have already left our territory after the war, continuing their travels in other directions, all enthusiastically promoting the splendor and glory of this battle.”

”This has attracted a large number of people converging on our territory daily—caravans, Slave Capture Teams, Free People’s Corps, and northern nomads arriving in Hesse Town every day, helping us to restore the army’s scale.”

”At the same time, a large number of personnel in the territory’s army have also gained increased strength from this battle.”
