Chapter 323 Jianjiao Bay Peninsula
(Thanks to Towny for his monthly ticket support!)
Although the Siren was only a principality, when they split, they almost divided one-fifth of Gadre's land, and the land area was about the size of three Selt North counties.
Of course, this refers to the nominal territory. In fact, the Siren territory inhabited by humans is reduced by at least 50% compared to this map. Siren is also a relatively remote and barren country on the mainland. It has mountains and hills in the west, almost completely deserted, and is less than hundreds of kilometers away from the northwest wasteland of orcs. Therefore, the development level is far less than that of the rich commercial areas in the southern part of the mainland.
This is somewhat similar to the situation in the North, and human survival is affected by land development.
Donald swept his mental power and imprinted the entire Siren terrain in his mind. At the same time, the plan for the main world plane map that has been unveiled in the Book of Truth has been sorted out and improved a lot. Now it has included the geographical environment of the northern part of the continent and the northern part of the mainland. When others have the opportunity to pass by in the future, they can get more detailed situations.
Donald saw the situation of the territories pointed out by the Grand Duke of Siren, and found that it was a bit useless to him and did not like it very much.
So he turned his eyes to those blank unmanned territories, and finally Donald stared at a coastal peninsula west of Dragon Tooth Fortress.
This is the west coast territory of the Siren continent, at the northernmost end of the huge mountain range, which runs through the northwest coastal area of the continent. If the area around Longya Mountain where the Dragon Fortress is located looks like the mouth of a dragon from the sky, then the complex terrain of the bay peninsula that Donald wants is like the horn of a dragon, slightly curved.
There are coastal areas such as port beaches, as well as internal forests, hills and other terrains. What is rare is that there is a small natural plain area that allows him to build towns, and there is also a marked coastal peak cliff that blocks the small plain, avoiding the attack of storms and waves there.
It can be said that this peninsula, which is about hundreds of square kilometers, is small, but it has all the internal organs, and it is simply a miniature and small kingdom.
“Where is this place?”
Looking at the scimitar-shaped peninsula that Donald pointed to, the Siren said with a frown:
"This place is called Jianjiao Bay Peninsula. It is said to be a landing place where the sea tribe invaded the mainland. The sea tribe once established a stronghold here. However, because the terrain is not good and there are many threats in the sea, no one will settle here. What do you think of this place? I think it's better to change the place!"
"What, is there any problem here?"
Donald pretended to be questioned.
"There is no problem. Although it is a little bigger than an Earl's Corps, the terrain is not very good and not suitable for people to live in. It is a place where no one wants it. Do you see if you look again?"
Donald said with certainty: "No need to look at it. Since the Lord Lord said there is no problem, then I want this territory. As for what is not suitable for living, it is not a problem in our mage's opinion! And I am not planning to develop population, business or other things in your country. Instead, I want to build a mage tower here. In addition to the main purpose of suppressing the space passage for demons invasion, I also plan to recruit some talented mage talents from Siren, so this is a remote place close to the abyss passage, but it is just right!"
"Is this true of the Baron? Do you really plan to build a mage tower in the Siren?"
The Siren Grand Duke was very happy to hear this!
You should know that Gadre's mage strength is in the hands of the great nobles and the royal family. Since their Kadochi family came out, they have lost the assistance of high-end mage power, and some situations are very difficult to deal with. At present, the most powerful mage power of Siren is just a silver mage, which is what their family has fully cultivated and supported!
Gadre's big families who were ill-intentioned to their Siren have been working together to block the Siren's power over the years. If the Master* builds a mage tower on the Sword Point Bay Peninsula, it will not only stabilize the defense of the Siren's western part, but will also bring a group of mage power support to the Siren.
Judging from Gadre's situation, a mage tower. Even the smallest primary mage tower must have more than one silver mage in charge, right? This is also the convention of the mainland mage power.
What's more, the other party's territory has two gold and several silver wizards. Maybe he will be surprised after the mage tower is built!
Therefore, the Siren Grand Duke was very supportive of Donald's plan to establish the mage tower. If he hadn't learned much about the mage's situation, he would have planned to participate and support it with all his strength!
Donald said this, but he didn't think so completely in his heart.
In his opinion, with an economic awareness and advanced mind in his previous life, compared with inland political or military centers, coastal areas are destined to be the core economic areas of a country or even the entire world in the future. The basic situation of human beings in this world is similar to that on earth, so the final result he made such inferences will not deviate too much.
Then this peninsula with a considerable area and a good location has certain development potential.
The indigenous people from the main world, such as the Siren, were not optimistic about this area because from ancient times to ancient times, the west coast of the mainland often faced the invasion of sea tribes. In addition, the terrain was not suitable for farming and settlement, and the mountainous areas were inconvenient to barriers and transportation. Therefore, no matter whether it was the noble lords of Bannai, the ancient magic empire, and later Gadre and Seren, they were not very interested in this area.
However, in Donald's opinion, these are not many problems. Not to mention the convenience provided by the Book of Truth, it is easier to use the power of the mages under his territory to open a safe passage from the peninsula to the Dragon Tooth Fortress. It does not require any labor force to mobilize civilians to work, and can be completed with the power of magic.
As for the construction of new territory towns, let alone!
The only thing that is somewhat inconvenient is that it is too far from the other two territories. Even with a super-era convenient means of transportation such as magic ships and alchemy airships, it is too troublesome to go back and forth, and it is not safe along the way. It can be regarded as a journey across the continent by crossing the continent, which is enough to discourage ordinary merchants, so in the eyes of others, the territory that Donald demanded has no effect at all.
However, Donald had other plans in his heart. You must know that since he raised so many believers in the semi-plane and had a source of faith, the divine power has no longer been as tight as it was at the beginning. He had never had the ability before, and he was reluctant to build a magic portal after he had the ability.
Now the source of divine power reserves is no longer a problem. If several magic portals are built between several territories, wouldn’t it solve the biggest problem of being too far between territories?
