The vegetables shows him another path

"Anything that comes out from my system should not be underestimated" he thought to himself.

And he hoped with this sudden mass farming, he could test another one of his theories about the vegetables.

He believes that the vegetables from the system also affected the fertility of the ground. If he is right, then the ground for which the vegetables is planted would rise in its fertility.

This is however is still only his thoughts.

He could not prove it yet.

And he could only find out if its true or not after a few experiments is conducted. Since he did not really have scientist in his tribe, he had to rely on himself.

He at least knows how to at least make an experiment to confirm his hypotheses. Investigate, observe and collect data

Form a hypothesis, a prediction to a possible answer to a question based on observation, existing theories and information

Then evidence would be needed to test the prediction.

Analyse the data and draw conclusion from the data

He himself is not that much a scientist but he knows the steps of verifying his thought. It still needed time

"there is many things that I gained after attacking Nurshira" he thought to himself. He gained prestige. Population. Reputation.

But the most important thing is skilled workers.

Farmers to farm for crops. And blacksmith. And most of the people of Yan they captured is not that loyal to Yan.

From what Aeryon found out, they were more loyal to the noble families that is sheltering them,

The Emperor is far away. Aeryon think for a while and he got the answer.

Central authority no matter how strong it is in this ancient era; it is not as pervasive as the central authority in the future.

Aeryon felt that very much

For example, there is a nation in his world that put surveillance on their own people to strengthen the central authority.

In the past, such powerful central authority headed by a government agency has never been so pervasive.

Someone in the border town could rebel and only after a few days that the rebellion news would arrive at the Emperor palace

Modern humans could not rebel against their overlord without the overlord not sending tanks to mow you down.

In this world, the common people could still rise up against their rulers. But not so much in the future.

The central authority, no matter how strong, could not regulate speech against the emperor.

And the people of Yan that he captured is not that loyal toward the Yan Emperor.

Why?

Because they are starving.

They are dying.

And whoever gives them food and benefit, they would be loyal to them

It is the characteristic of Yan people. They are arrogant against weak people, and fearful like mice when dealing with strong people.

Boasting when they are strong and when they are weak they grovel. They like to humiliate their opponent but then they would boast how humble and civilized they are

Aeryon remembered one of the stories of some of the captives

When he attack Nurshira, he not only took Yan people as slaves, he also liberated the people of Marynku.

These liberated Marynku people is now a part of Aeryon strength, either entering the army or joining the tribes and helping the tribe in their own way

From what Aeryon hear is that they were forced to learn the Yan language. One of them said, one of the people of Yan stomp his mother stomach while his mother is pregnant.

While stomping on his mother belly, these Yan people that claimed that they are the descendant of the dragon said "Speak Yan write correctly in Yan words, you barbarians! Speak a civilized language, become a civilized Yan people"

When Aeryon heard this how could he not feel burning anger in his heart. Even more so for that young child.

That young child himself is joining his army and one day he said he would go back to Yan to avenge his mother.

And he also got many skilled workers from Yan

Aeryon decided to use these skilled workers he got from Nurshira to forge him many weapons. He after all had many Meteorites Iron.

And there is someone among the people he captured that could forge Meteorite Iron. As reward, he gave this family of blacksmith, gold and silver and food and horses.

As long as they could forge meteorite iron for him he did not care how much thing he had to give.

That is why in his storage in his system, there is only one meteorite iron card.

All the other meteorite iron is now stored in different place.

For now, that blacksmith had crafted ten armor and sword made of meteorite iron.

Right now, it is only given to the commanders and his close circle like Belarion and Mayeux

With such armor and weapons, their chance of survival in the battlefield would be higher

The weapons cut stone like a hot knife cutting butter. And the armor is sturdy enough to withstand the slash of a sword for a dozen cut before breaking down

As long as he could even armed one hundred men with such armor and swords, then a truly elite unite of armoured cavalry could be created.

Many of the tribes in the Great Steppe still fight with inferior weapons. Some even have rusty sword.

"This is why not advancing forward means regressing" he thought to himself.

Aeryon himself before the attack on Nurshira did not have that many weapons.

Most weapons are not provided by him.

They were brought by the warrior itself.

There were bands of warriors that would travel tribe from tribe asking for employment.

These warriors is usually armed to the teeth and the reason why people hired them because all of their amors is the armor they rob or kill to get

When they came to a tribe, they came fully armoured. It is the same for any warriors that wanted to join a clan or a tribe that wanted to offer the service of the sword

There is never a tribe that actively produce their own weapon and give them to their warriors.

The exception is when they raided a tribe and took the amors and the weapons and bestowed it as a gift of the battle

Most warriors would craft their own weapons or goes to find someone who could forge a weapon and then with the sword and armor they would join the warriors in fighting.

Aeryon on the other hand put all those who could forge armor and weapons under one banner.

His banner. And their job is to produce weapons and armor for his men.

The pay will come from him, and it is for this reason that none of the warriors under him complains when Aeryon took all the weapons.

Most of the distribution method of the Brolgadhr tribe is very different from the method of distribution of other tribes.

But they could accept it because they know that these weapons would be given to them. And it is clear that Aeryon method, however unreasonable it seems has benefited the tribe.

Aeryon actually also had a hard time before this on how to provide weapons to his men.

The attack of Nurshira alleviated some of his worries

Nurshira soldiers provided them with all new armor and weapons.

Aeryon could tell that if this was a game, the power level of his tribe must have risen with the addition of so many new and sharp weapons

Of course, Aeryon did not forget that Dama , Karnain and Valgrun also rises in strength after the attack in Nurshira

It is for this reason that he is confident that Khagai could fight against Bolghar and why the Kazan tribe is worried about Sordkazan rise.

Because not only their warriors have trained themselves with real battle in Nurshira, they also gain many resources both food and weapons.

And stone resource card is also put in the warehouse.

This is used to build a city among other uses.

And using the slaves the progressions of building the city has increased.

" I should put all of this in the warehouse now" he thought to himself. He would only leave the Vegetable Supply Card and the Class Ability Card in his possession.

The reason why he would left the Vegetable Supply Card is simple.

He fear that if all the vegetable is used up, and have no seed, at least he would have still a cad to conjure up another box of vegetable

Aeryon decided this and he went out from his tent for a while goes to the warehouse.

His warehouse is built of wood. With stone as its foundation.

It could withstand the winds because this area that he chose to as his city is close to the Yan borders.

The wind is strong but not so strong that it would create a gust of wind that would be able to pluck this warehouse from the ground

Aeryon warehouse is different for the other warehouse. Ony he is allowed to enter it.

There is dozens of guards around this warehouse. He enters the warehouse and activated all of the resources card and the area of the warehouse that has emptied a bit since the last time he filled it up began to become piled up again.
