Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

Anthony chuckled, not responding directly, but self-consciously: “The Master Plane is the human plane…”

The Master Plane, is the human plane. In the Plane Safety Committee with seven seats, humans occupy four seats.

Elves hide in the forests, dwarves stay underground, the Dragon Clan traveled far across the sea, why do humans occupy the most fertile lands?

Could it be that other species are too kind, willingly giving up the fertile land and hiding in cold and barren places suffering?

Perhaps only elves think this way, because they are more adaptable to forests and have the protection of the God of Life. However, for dwarves and the Dragon Clan, this is ridiculous.

Compared to population, other species combined cannot even reach one-tenth of the human race. In terms of production capabilities, they do not even have one percent of what humans have. In terms of organizational structures, humans are generations ahead.

The Republic of Stellaris has already embraced republican governance, but elves and dwarfs are still primordial tribes, and the Dragon Clan is not even a tribe, just a big family.

The only weakness of humans is their lack of unity. There are dozens of large and small nations in the Master Plane, and if those small city-states are also counted, the number reaches hundreds.

These nations do not live peacefully with each other. Some are even arch-enemies, and battles are frequent among them.

The last time an empire met its downfall happened between the arch-enemies—the Tiwan Empire and the Seth Empire. It resulted in the deaths of millions, displacement of ten millions, and the complete disappearance of the ten-million-population Tiwan Empire from history.

The lack of unity sometimes make humans seem less powerful than elves. The two recent elven movements has caused panic among humans, fearing that they might start a war.

However, it is only a general situation. If the elves really instigate a war, humans will unite, and their momentum will be completely different.

On the whole plane, the only one worthy of uniting all humans…or at least more than half of the human race, is Guliani.

“If Guliani mobilizes human nations, let me tell you how they would fight this war. Firstly, an economic blockade,” said Anthony.

“Cutting off the economic relations between the Goddess of Beauty City and the outside world, blocking the transportation of goods, food trade and so on, sealing off the entire desert,” Anthony continued.

Thinking of the Goddess of Beauty City not providing beauty services, Lisa felt anxious: “What’s the point? We don’t eat food, so what good would a blockade do?”

“You don’t require food and daily necessities, but what about the citizens who live in the desert and the Fallen People? Half a year blockade will result in mass starvation,” Anthony responded.

Ange suddenly raised his hand: “I can provide, no one will starve.”

“Oh, I forgot, as long as you’re here, indeed there wouldn’t be starvation. But the blockade will still continue, aiming to prevent various supplies from being delivered, such as copper, iron, Demon Crystals, etc. They will blockade for half a year and then block off the river,” Anthony said.

Negris gasped: “You are so ruthless…”

The two rivers flowing into Fallen Dragon Lake are all freshwater rivers originating outside of the desert. They’re the main sources of freshwater for Fallen Dragon Lake. If they’re blocked, the people in the Goddess of Beauty City will soon have no water to drink.

Compared with food, fresh water is obviously more important.

“We have Fengshui Towers. If we build some more, we should be able to solve the problem of freshwater,” Lisa thought seriously and said.

“Fengshui Tower? What’s that?” Anthony had never seen a Fengshui Tower. Even if he had, he wouldn’t understand its precise parameters, so Negris had to explain.

After understanding the purpose of the Fengshui Tower, Anthony exclaimed: “This is a remarkable invention! It’s not only useful in the desert but also on ships. If we install one on a ship, we wouldn’t have to worry about the freshwater problem when sailing. It can also be used in the desert in the south. Any place that has sufficient humidity but lacks surface water can make use of it.”

After a pause, Anthony continued: “But it’s useless, because the third step will address the issue of humidity in the wind. I would send a large number of wizards to the monsoonal sources bringing in the humidity, and drain the moisture from the wind, because even without the Fengshui Tower, ordinary wizards can also condense moisture. So, I would tackle the problem starting from the source.”

“Drain the moisture out of the wind? How is that possible?” Everyone was astounded by this unimaginable plan.

“It’s easy to achieve, just find ten thousand wizards. You don’t need very powerful ones, third or fourth-level ones are sufficient,” Anthony said nonchalantly.

“Ten thousand? And it’s easy?” Negris exclaimed, as if Anthony was joking with him.

However, Anthony nodded seriously: “Yes, it’s easy. When humans mobilize, they can deploy thousands of wizards. The Seth Royal Magic Academy has four thousand students and there are thousands of Magic Academies in the Seth Empire, at least over ten. The Capricorn Empire has less but still seven or eight.”

“And there’s an even scarier organization – the Magic Guild. As long as the price is right, the Magic Guild can organize over twenty thousand wizards in seven days. That’s why I said, when humans mobilize, we don’t stand a chance.”
