So, the fruit set rate of the second wave of grapes was only less than half of the first wave, but the final total yield was surprisingly higher than that of the first wave, making the Ghost Grape Wine brewed from this wave even more extraordinary, its magic continuously fermenting in the cellar.

This is just one of the benefits; there are countless others.

It’s not just about the right amount of rain and sunlight here; even the nutrients in the soil are automatically absorbed from Magic Elements and synthesized according to the plants’ needs, so this land requires neither irrigation nor fertilization.

In addition to the crops planted here, no other weeds will grow. During their growth, the plants automatically adjust their structure to make full use of sunlight without producing extra water shoots. The sole purpose of their structural design is to provide the most nutrients to the edible parts, so the crops in this land require no weeding, fertilization, or additional care.

All harmful insects, birds, and animals automatically avoid this land as if it doesn’t exist, yet the number of beneficial insects remains perfect and just right.

Such Magic Farmland only requires two things from the cultivators: planting and harvesting. Of course, the seeds are essential, because what you plant is what grows. It means that managing such land doesn’t require professional farmers, just an army passing through will suffice.

What do you think is the maximum yield per acre under these conditions?

So far, there are accurate data for two crops: potatoes and corn.

Potatoes have reached 20,000 kg per acre, while corn has reached 3,000 kg per acre. The figure of 2,000 kg per acre for wheat is just an estimate, as the first season’s wheat in Zalanda has just been planted and is not yet mature.

Given a reasonable mix of vegetable and cereal crops, the five-square-kilometer Magic Farmland in Zalanda can easily support one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians. And this is when everyone is only consuming what the Magic Farmland produces. But with so many people gathered together, how could there not be other outputs?

Even if the Conqueror Army progresses, they can still gather a considerable amount of game and wild vegetables from the wilderness along the way.

The Magic Farmland serves as an additional supplement, balancing supply and demand as well as feeding the army; it can sustain a city of three to five hundred thousand people without a problem.

This is the reason why Zalanda, in Darama, can freely expand its army, massively incorporate immigrants, and implement numerous preferential policies with confidence.

Gaven now possesses Magic Farmland one and a half times the size of that in Zalanda, which means he can make even bigger moves.

No, wrong. He actually owns less Magic Farmland than Zalanda, because she has two pieces of land, one from Divine Artifact of the War Path and the other is adjusted and strengthened after the Ascension of Lady Strategy.

Katherine also has a piece over there.

It must be said, the Path of War by Lady Strategy indeed is terrifyingly powerful; every Chosen can, with their own power, assemble an army of tens of thousands in just one year (having food guarantees the minimum).

Everything has its pros and cons. Because of the Magic Farmland, even though Felen has Druids and the support of the Goddess of Earth, the breeding of food crops is still significantly behind.

They might as well directly try to obtain a piece of Magic Farmland for a permanent solution, instead of pondering over long breeding.

However, this does not consider the broader impact. One Magic Farmland can at most benefit one city or region, while food breeding benefits not just one country or race but can benefit the whole world.

Gaven chose the newly acquired Magic Farmland at the Bridge of Human God, certainly with his own strategic considerations.

Now that the Bridge of Human God has been built, how could they just leave it there unattended, allowing other powers to reap the benefits?

Instead, like Blood Gorge City, relying on this bridge to establish a city locally is the ultimate strategy.

Then, they can slowly encroach on the entire Goblin Margins from this city, completely turning it into their territory, which is just the visible part.

Next, it serves as a preparation for the complete conquest of the Rocklands. With the current resources in Gaven’s hands, it will only take a few months to build a direct expressway to the Rocklands, ensuring sufficient logistical food supplies by then.

Although the Conqueror Army bears the name of conquest, so far they have only forged a new Path and established control over a few isolated cities.

Even the most powerful Blood Gorge City cannot be said to have completely conquered the Giant Plains; at most, they have a relatively strong influence over it. Those Monster Tribes show superficial submission by paying tribute, but in reality, undercurrents are surging across the Giant Plains, with those Monster Tribes secretly uniting in an attempt to resist Blood Gorge City.

Where there is oppression, there will be resistance. Previously, when the Monster Tribe was powerful, the Sage Races united against them. Now it’s just reversed; Blood Gorge City has a long way to go to truly conquer the Giant Plains, and this cannot be accelerated; time is needed to ferment the change.

The same is true for the areas around Goblin Margins and Rocklands; to completely conquer them and turn them into a viable habitat for Humans, they must be prepared for a prolonged war.

And the mountainous terrain of the Rocklands dictates that it is not suitable for extensive farming, only supporting auxiliary small-scale cultivation and then developing local industries such as various mining activities, making it inevitable to continuously import food from outside.
