[ Wrath from Afar ]
This skill comes from the fire knights of the Land of Shadow, who often like to crouch on the roof beams and suddenly unleash a surprise attack.
The Tarnished controlled by Mu En have fallen victim to this more than once.
The memories were unpleasant, but the Incantations itself was valuable.
When used by ordinary Blessed, the attack range can be easily extended to over a hundred meters, and its power is almost comparable to that of a hand grenade.
This Incantations can also be enhanced by increasing its power. When Nausicaä unleashes it at full power, it can even blast a crater more than five meters in diameter in a field, with a destructive force almost comparable to a high-explosive bomb.
This compensates for the Blessed Warrior ' lack of powerful long-range attack methods and can complement the Storm Rifle.
Speaking of which, training for new recruits and newly Blessed Warrior is also underway.
Under the supervision of the Blessed Warrior, the fifty new recruits have fully adapted to basic training, including basic drills, weapons handling, and physical training.
After selecting five outstanding recruits to serve as squad leaders, Por and his team had a new task: to train their "younger" recruits.
Today, the Blessed Warrior has expanded to twenty, with the ten new Blessed Warrior being promising recruits selected from the previously trained militia.
However, becoming Blessed Warrior does not mean that you can immediately become a combatant.
Like Por and the others, these newcomers inevitably became somewhat arrogant after gaining power, each thinking that the chosen ones were nothing special.
Yupa's approach was simple and brutal: just like before, they gave them three full days of hellish intensive training as a "welcome activity."
This gave these newcomers a real taste of how their predecessors had gone through it all.
The specific process need not be elaborated, but the effect was immediate.
After the intensive training, the new recruits' faces were filled with questions like, "Who am I? Where am I? Am I still alive?"
Soon, just like their predecessors, they put their little bit of pride behind them.
Seeing the positive results, Yupa decided to pass on this welcoming activity as a "tradition" among the Blessed Warrior.
Currently, the twenty Blessed Warrior have been divided into two teams.
Por and Elphias Doge served as captain and vice-captain, respectively, leading eight of them; Kamlin finally got his wish and independently led another nine people to form a team.
Yupa remained the chief instructor of all the Blessed Warrior.
Mu En only had one request for Yupa: He could be strict during training, but he should pay attention to maintaining good relationships with the soldiers in ordinary times, and not really make himself a public enemy.
If thirty or forty people arrive in a group, armed with the Shield of Immutability and wielding the Order's Blade, to "spar" with him, that would be quite a sight...
It seems that only by forcibly converting Yupa into Blessed can the instructor's personal safety be guaranteed.
Yupa simply smiled after hearing this.
This legendary swordsman was actually very tactful; being a teacher, he had long accumulated a lot of experience.
Therefore, although he was still privately called "Devil Instructor" by the Blessed Warrior, it was more of a nickname than a joke.
During cultural classes and breaks, Yupa, who was knowledgeable, well-traveled, and could occasionally tell a few humorous adventure stories, was actually very popular among the soldiers.
Another person who deserves mention is Beruto, who provided "extra meals" for the soldiers.
At this moment, Beruto is still busy in the kitchen; he hasn't had time to personally work in the fields for several days.
The distinctive aroma of soybean oil wafts through the castle kitchen.
Beruto did not disappoint him; the scarred chef, with a combination of talent and luck, successfully recreated soybean oil in just one week.
Soybean oil pressing is a relatively complex process, and its oil yield is lower than that of oil crops such as rapeseed oil.
However, compared to the original hand-pressed olive oil from Valley of the Wind, this is a mass-produced, all-you-can-eat, hand-pressed product.
Nowadays, just one work point can be exchanged for half a pound of soybean oil, enough for a family of three to use for several days.
With tofu providing high-quality plant protein and soybean oil providing essential fats, the residents of Valley of the Wind have finally said goodbye to the monotonous meals of only wheat porridge, wheat cakes, bread, and potatoes.
Beruto, under Mu En's remote guidance, has even recreated a series of "new" dishes from the ancient Eastern country.
Besides the classic and appetizing dish of stewed tofu with tomatoes, there are also pan-fried tofu, potato cakes, and flaky sesame flatbread, which is also made from fermented wheat.
In short, they kept changing the methods to provide "surprises" for the soldiers.
Although complex fermented products such as soybean paste and soy sauce are still being explored, tofu and soybean oil alone are enough to drive the people of Valley of the Wind crazy.
These snow-white, fragrant cubes have become the most popular "items" at the exchange counter.
To meet the needs of the villagers, the castle kitchen produces several boxes of tofu every day, weighing more than 200 kilograms in total.
A small portion was supplied to the castle and soldiers, while the rest was sold to ordinary villagers at low prices.
Beruto, which originally just wanted to improve the food for its compatriots, is now so busy that it has had to recruit several kitchen helpers to handle repetitive tasks such as soaking beans, grinding them, adding coagulant, and pressing them.
He himself spends every day in the kitchen, supervising production and trying to develop new dishes.
Although it was tiring, Beruto still enjoyed it; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so dedicated to it.
He always cherished the simple wish that all his fellow Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind would have enough to eat and wear.
Finally, Mu En turned his gaze to the castle hall.
Today is a day to discuss important matters, and almost all the managers have gathered in the castle hall.
At the conference table, everyone had a map, a list, and a thick notebook spread out in front of them.
Recently, all matters have been progressing smoothly.
But Mu En knew that Valley of the Wind had already hit a bottleneck.
If some problems are not resolved quickly, then the development of the territory will inevitably stagnate.
For example, the population is still severely insufficient.
With a total population of less than 800, they had to be dispersed among agriculture, industry, military, administration, construction, textiles, and other sectors, which was simply not enough.
Every industry is complaining about a labor shortage, and everyone is working overtime.
At the same time, as Mu En's body size continues to grow, the consumption of maintaining the "domain" to purify toxins is also increasing.
Moreover, he could sense that many of his abilities were tied to his physique and could only be unlocked after he grew to a certain size.
To continue growing and gain even greater power, one must acquire more faith power to support it.
Therefore, it is essential to send teams to proactively receive and guide more Pejite refugees to settle here.
Another example is the shortage of industrial raw materials.
Metal ingots, gunpowder raw materials, and chemical materials—the stockpiles accumulated through previous caravan trade—have all been depleted.
Without raw materials, Gol and his team's industrial research would be like cooking without rice, and weapons manufacturing would also come to a standstill.
Therefore, it was imperative to form caravans to engage in trade and exchange local specialties such as grain for urgently needed raw materials.
Finally, let's talk about the Sea of Corruption.
The exoskeleton of the Ohmu, fungal spores said to be able to make gunpowder and flashbangs, are hidden in the ruins of Eftal deep within the Sea of Corruption...
Mu En could not possibly allow these treasures to remain buried deep within the Sea of Corruption without his knowledge.
Therefore, the Valley of the Wind's own Sea of Corruption expedition team must also set off as soon as possible.
Three teams, three directions, three tasks.
The meeting in the castle was closely related to this matter.
