As the weather on the mainland gradually turned colder, the war in the north finally broke out.
On the afternoon of November 3, the army led by Orc Royal Court launched attacks on North Guard Pass, Beast Abyss Pass and Dusk Snow Pass.
Among them, the battles of North Guard Pass and Dusk Snow Pass came to an end in the evening, while the battle of Beast Abyss Pass continued until late at night, and gradually stopped at dawn the next day.
Human Empire's pass was impregnable. The orc army left the corpses on the ground and returned to the military camp to repair.
The message was quickly spread to various cities on the northern border, reassuring people who worry every year.
Because the Winter War breaks out almost every year, the movements in the north do not affect other areas of the human race.
Even people in the north are actually not too worried.
After all, since Andre III came to power, the three major passes in the north have never been breached.
Orc Royal Court's annual attacks are not so much about breaking through the human race's defenses as they are about killing their own overpopulation and avoiding depletion of food leading to major disasters.
Andre III also intends to promote the annual winter war to maintain the threat of Orc Race to the Human Empire, in order to achieve the effect of uniting domestic forces and training the army.
At the same time, in the middle and late stages of the Winter War, Andre III would also sell some grain to Orc Race through the Grain and Medicine Trade Alliance, one of the three Gnome Trade Alliance, and exchange it for special rare minerals from Far North Ice Plains.
In addition, the empire also made various actions to cooperate with the Winter War, striving to absorb all the dividends of this war into the empire's belly.
However, all of this currently has little to do with Ron.
Orc Race is far away from Far North Ice Plains. If you want to go south, you must pass through the three major passes of the human race. Otherwise, you can only pass through Forest of Forest, which has complex terrain and lush trees.
That's Elf Race territory.
With the blessing of Tree of Life, Elf Race is invincible in Forest of Forest, so Orc Race rarely attacks Elf Race.
As a result, the winter war between the human race and Orc Race is basically limited to the vicinity of the three major passes and will not affect other areas of the mainland.
Chaos City, located at the junction of the human race, Elf Race, Dwarf Race and Gnome Race, is still in a peaceful and peaceful place.
"Store manager, after the store next door is renovated, are you going to recruit new employees?" Nora asked curiously while sitting at the dining table and eating lunch.
Sister Sylvie sat quietly, eating a bowl of simple vegetable salad.
"Well... I guess, after all, you can't manage it alone." Ron thought about it for a moment, "But the store probably didn't have many customers at the beginning, so just let Sylvie take a look at the store temporarily."
Sylvie was about to take a bite of vegetables when he heard this sentence and immediately stopped his spoon and said, "Your Highness Ron, if you want to travel during the day, I must stay with you to protect your safety. I'm afraid I won't be able to look after the store for you."
"..." Ron helplessly raised his head, but he didn't expect this nun to be so persistent...
"Anyway, it will be at least ten days after the decoration is completed. Let's talk about it then." Ron changed the subject, looked at Sylvie and asked, "What happened to what I asked you to do now?"
Sylvie swallowed the food in his mouth and said respectfully, "Some nuns from the nunnery in the southeastern part of the empire are expected to arrive one after another the day after tomorrow. The first batch of 23 nuns in total are all Second Order magicians."
"What's next?"
"Following up are the nuns from the eastern and central parts of the empire, a total of 57, and then the northern and western regions. Due to the long distances, the message has not yet reached them. According to the roster they submitted last quarter, there are about 68 nuns who meet the conditions."
Ron nodded with satisfaction. "After the first batch of nuns arrive, remember to remind me."
"Okay."
On the land in the suburbs, Prayer House has been built, which is enough for the first batch of nuns to live.
Ron has been walking around there in the past two days and has almost planned the planting scale of Everchanging Radish.
Just waiting for the lovely nuns to arrive, the production of Elemental Cards can officially start.
Afternoon.
Ron went to the Magic Academy, and Sylvie wearing a black nun's uniform followed beside him.
The two came to Harper's laboratory.
After this period of research, Scale Vine related experiments have been completed.
"Ron, you will never imagine that the real effect of Scale Vine can be so outstanding!" Harper stopped the experiment on Explosive Potion and took out a thick stack of experimental materials and said.
Ron looked at Harper, who was less than his chest, with an interested look in his eyes. "Tell me about it?"
"Ahem." Harper cleared his throat, handed the experimental data to Ron, and said slowly -
"First of all, we must realize that Scale Vine is a living creature before it can be used as a means of defense."
"The experiment found that after three days of blood feeding and magic infusion, the magician can complete the Scale Vine master recognition process."
"But after that, if you can continue to feed it with blood every day and provide it with magic power to warm it up, then Scale Vine's defense will continue to improve."
"This improvement is very rapid and the effect is easily visible, but it does not last long."
"After half a month, this rapid growth stopped completely."
"At this time, Scale Vine has become a top-level defense method. However, it requires a magician to continuously provide magic power during defense to maintain the strongest defense, so it still has some shortcomings."
"But after that, if the magician can continue to feed Scale Vine with blood every day and use magic power to warm Scale Vine, then the magic power that the magician needs to provide will gradually decrease when resisting attacks of the same power."
"In other words, it should be that after Scale Vine became accustomed to the host's magical properties, the utilization rate of the host's magical power has been improved, allowing it to use less magical power to achieve stronger defense."
"In addition, among all kinds of magicians, those who often use Wood Magic will have stronger Scale Vine with stronger defense, which is obviously different from other Scale Vine."
"In addition, as long as you insist on nourishing Scale Vine every day, his upper limit of defense will continue to increase, but it will not increase as quickly as in the first half month, but will need to accumulate over time."
"So, the earlier people buy Scale Vine, the more likely they are to cultivate Scale Vine with stronger defense power."
"Since the follow-up experiments will take too long, I have no time to continue tracking the experimental results, and I cannot predict the upper limit of Scale Vine's defense."
"But these experimental results alone are enough to prove the power of Scale Vine."
Ron After listening to the introduction of Harper, I finally understood the power of Scale Vine.
As expected, none of the plants provided by the system are simple.
Street Diary: Mr. Yan: There is no hope of ordering this book, so let's cut it. Big guy: It has just reached the high-quality level, and there is probably no chance of it later, so cut it. Big guy: The first order is only 2,000... It will take at least a few months to get it to high-quality... It's very troublesome, so let's cut it. Me: Don't think about putting it on the shelves for now, I'm going out to play tomorrow~
