Chapter 64 Mermaid Royal Bloodline, The Second Inheritance Of The Arcane Knights
Three months later.
After this period of personal experimentation, Rennes confirmed that the super-reproduction talent is indeed useful.
Previously, he had been trying for several months to get Lalisia pregnant without success.
But after acquiring this talent,
In less than a month, Lalisia successfully became pregnant.
Not only that,
Under his diligent cultivation,
In addition to Jessica, Leila, Murphy, Betty, and Charlene, who have just completed childbirth, Fiona, Katie, and Lifa are also all pregnant.
Even Janet, who had difficulty getting pregnant due to her age, is now expecting.
In other words,
If nothing unexpected happens, the Habsburg family will have five new members in a month.
This made Rennes extremely happy.
In the blink of an eye,
Another two months have passed.
Due to the overwhelming power of the super-reproduction talent, all of Rennes' wives who were previously infertile have become pregnant.
Jessica, Leila, Murphy, Betty, and Charlene are still in the postpartum recovery period.
Not suitable for pregnancy.
Unable to conceive.
Rennes can only focus his energy on territorial affairs.
At this stage,
The first phase of the territorial development plan is nearing completion.
Six new towns have been completed, with four already finished.
The last two new towns.
It is expected that they will be completely finished in two months, with a total of 600 workers.
In order to ensure the completion of the towns and their usability, the recruitment of refugees naturally needs to be started in advance.
However,
This recruitment is quite difficult.
After all, this is a real world.
Refugees are not NPCs that can be constantly refreshed.
After the previous two large-scale "scavenging" operations, most of the refugees in the Guoyin region and even the surrounding areas have already been recruited.
To obtain a large number of refugees,
One can only go to more distant areas to recruit.
But in doing so, transportation costs will undoubtedly increase several times.
If the recruitment price for refugees is not increased, those merchants will definitely not be able to continue helping Rennes.
After all.
The journey is so far.
According to the previous price of one gold coin for a healthy refugee, even the cost cannot be recovered.
Helping also requires paying out of pocket.
Only a fool would do it.
There's no other way.
Rennes can only increase the recruitment price for refugees.
Raise it from one gold coin to three gold coins.
This is the final price.
Any higher.
They might as well just buy from slave traders directly.
After solving the population problem of the two new cities.
Rennes is not idle either.
Immediately start formulating the second phase of the territory development plan.
The Habus family's territory is about 100 square kilometers in size. (bbee) Building six towns is already enough.
However.
In order to increase the utilization rate of the territory's land and promote better development of the seven towns.
It is necessary to build a large number of villages within the territory.
And the issue of roads in the territory also needs to be resolved.
To become rich, first build roads.
Currently, all the roads in the Habus family's territory are bumpy dirt roads.
This poses a significant obstacle to commercial transportation.
Therefore.
Rennes plans to rebuild all the existing roads into cobblestone roads.
And also build several routes leading to the new cities, facilitating communication between the towns.
In addition, there is the town of Xiongying.
As the place where they reside, Rennes has always positioned Xiongying as the core of the territory.
But with the development of the territory, Xiongying is falling behind.
It doesn't match the positioning of the central city in the territory.
When all six new cities are completed.
Rennes is prepared to spend a large amount of money to upgrade and transform it.
Upgrading Xiongying into a large city capable of accommodating millions of people.
After formulating the development plan for the next phase.
Rennes threw himself enthusiastically into the work of building his territory.
He really enjoyed this endeavor.
It felt like playing a real-life sandbox game.
He saw towns rising up within his territory.
He saw his subjects increasing in number, and his family flourishing.
Rennes felt a great sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Amidst the busy development of his territory,
Another seven months had passed.
At this time,
Lalicia, Frena, Katie, Lifa, and Janice were all heavily pregnant.
Their due dates were around this time.
Lifa was the first to give birth.
She gave birth to a boy for Rennes.
However, the aptitude of this child was quite average.
It only had a bronze-level evaluation.
The system also only gave a minimum reward of ten years of Qi cultivation.
Three days later,
Katie and Janice also gave birth.
They both gave birth to girls.
Their aptitudes were average.
One had a bronze-level evaluation, and the other had a silver-level evaluation.
These two children provided Rennes with a total of forty years of Qi cultivation, plus an intermediate-level method for cultivating advanced warhorses.
After a brief look,
Rennes found that this cultivation method was quite practical.
It recorded three methods for advancing magical warhorses.
They were the Flame Horse, the Swift Wind Horse, and the Rock Arrow Horse.
Through special cultivation,
The Flame Horse could advance to a fourth-tier powerful Fireburst Horse.
Although this breed of horse had relatively poor endurance,
It had an extremely fast explosive speed, making it very suitable as a warhorse for knights' charges.
In addition, it possessed two innate talent spells: Fireball and Flame Path.
After charging into the enemy's formation,
It could provide considerable firepower support for the knights.
These are warhorses born for the battlefield.
And what about the Swiftwind Horse?
After special cultivation, it can advance to a 4th stage Gale Horse.
The characteristic of this breed of horse is evident from its name.
It is extremely fast and has excellent endurance, making it very suitable for long-distance raids.
As for the Rock Arrow Horse.
There are two advancement directions.
One is the Earthbound Horse, and the other is the Earth-carrying Horse.
The Earthbound Horse possesses the Earthbound Technique.
Even on uneven rocky terrain, it can move freely, making it very suitable for mountain warfare.
As for the Earth-carrying Horse.
It has the magic to absorb the energy of the earth to restore its own stamina.
It has extremely strong carrying capacity and astonishing endurance.
It is suitable for long-distance transportation of supplies.
For knights.
The importance of an excellent mount goes without saying.
Although Rennes has superior Holy Light Pegasus and doesn't need these intermediate warhorses.
But his knights are still using Swiftwind Horses.
If he can cultivate all these warhorses and replace them with his knights, their combat power will definitely increase significantly.
In addition.
If these horses suitable for long-distance transportation can be cultivated, they can also be sold to those big merchants who do cross-regional business.
It will definitely be profitable.
"Perhaps I can establish a horse farm in the territory, specifically for breeding and advancing warhorses..."
If he wants to do it, he will do it.
Rennes immediately searched for a lush area in his territory and began to build a horse farm.
At the same time, he started to purchase a large number of Flame Horses, Swiftwind Horses, and Rock Arrow Horses.
Of course.
He left these specific tasks to the steward.
He only needed to oversee the general direction.
One week later.
Frena and Larissia also gave birth.
With two cries, two boys were born.
