Capítulo 1644: Chapter 814: Gaven’s New Agriculture Model (Part 2)
If there is no Animal Companion ability to assist in control, even a Transcendent Druid can at most calm those ferocious beasts, preventing them from launching an attack on their own. It’s impossible to make them pull a cart.
This has been verified by countless powerful Druids.
As for Magical Beasts whose body type can reach colossal size, none of them are below Transcendent level. They usually possess intelligence comparable to sentient beings. To make them pull a cart like livestock is unthinkable unless they are willing.
“It seems I have oversimplified this matter,” Gaven thought for a mont and said, “Then we should adopt a dual approach. I have a batch of Charm Bracelets that can charm and control around two hundred colossal ferocious beasts and Magical Beasts for the long term.
I will also transport eight hundred gigantic livestock from the Battle Valley as quickly as possible.”
The two Cloud Mantas with their extraordinary carrying capacity were another trump card in Gaven’s hands.
If transported by sea, a round trip would take half a month.
But if they directly airlift from the Battle Valley, a round trip would take only seven to eight days. Even going to the original region, the Giant Plains, would be just half a month.
“We don’t need that many; five hundred will suffice.” Hanso also actively offered his strategy, “Most of the Animal Companions of Transcendent Druids are either large animals or ferocious beasts. They themselves have the ability to transform into colossal animals for a long ti, which should cover the shortfall.”
“This is indeed a good thod. After all, in the case of empty or light loading, only one beast is needed. Only when fully loaded do we need a double-harness.” Gaven asked worriedly, “But isn’t it inappropriate to use people and Animal Companions as livestock?”
“What’s the big deal?” Great Druid Hanso laughed unconcernedly, “Pulling a cart in animal form is no different from doing so in human form. Besides, this is for the needs of war, not enslavent. I can assure you, no one will care.”
“That’s good. I’ll leave everything to you, sir.” Gaven did not dwell on the matter, as long as those Druids themselves didn’t mind. There was no need to artificially elevate the nature of the issue.
After discussing so detailed matters with Great Druid Hanso, Gaven continued: “The third thing is large-scale land cultivation in the Great Valley. No one knows how long this war will last, and a grain shortage will be the norm in the Eastern Region.
Transporting grain from outside is not a long-term solution.
The most important thing is to establish our own granaries in the Eastern Region. Among all the surrounding nations, the Great Valley is the most suitable. The land here is not only fertile but also easy to defend. If we hold the City of Usr to the west and guard Klonte City to the east, the area won’t be subject to large-scale enemy harassnt.”
“About this…” The two Great Druids involuntarily exchanged glances.
It was Hanso who finally spoke up: “If you can ensure that the land cultivation is limited to along the Grand Road, without cutting down surrounding forest trees, we won’t oppose it.
But large-scale cultivation will undoubtedly require a lot of manpower. In a short ti, where will you recruit people? For ordinary people, the Great Valley is now at the frontlines of the war. The Tukan People could attack at any ti. They’d be more likely to run away than migrate here.”
“I know,” Gaven nodded, “So I don’t plan to use conventional thods for cultivation but intend to use Magic Technology on a large scale. This matter similarly requires the assistance of your Druids.”
“Magic technology for cultivation? You need our help? How will it work?” the two Great Druids asked curiously.
“Actually, it involves an extended use of the Dragon Oak Acorn Tree and Awakened Plants. Before those trees are awakened, using the Wood Shaping Technique and Bend Wood Art to mold them into beast-like forms better suited for carrying heavy loads, then awakening them into Awakened Trees.
That way, they can replace most beasts of burden for farming and transporting goods.
Paired with the dream purification net of the Dragon Oak Acorn Tree, they can quickly recharge, and their activity ti will be greatly enhanced.
I can have my arsenal custom-make various large farming and planting tools for them, which can save a lot of manpower and materials.”
Rather than explaining to the two Great Druids, Gaven was taking the opportunity to further organize his own thoughts. Many new ideas were continuously bubbling up like a spring, making his thoughts more coherent, “This entire new agriculture isn’t just about farming the most land with the fewest people.
It also achieves the integration of the traditionally contradictory and conflicting forest and agriculture.
To maintain the vitality of those Awakened Plants, those farm owners cannot drastically deforest. They must also maintain and protect a certain number of forests.
I believe that once we succeed, it will not only change the agricultural landscape of Felen but could also alter the entire world’s developnt landscape, awakening countless people to the importance of forest resources and conservation.
This is far more effective than rely opposing sentient life developnt.”
Using Awakened Plants to replace livestock for farming?
Using Dragon Oak Acorn Trees to recharge the Awakened Plants?
Plus Druid control over weather and plants?
Isn’t it true that every Transcendent Druid could beco the best farm owner, with one person capable of farming several kiloters of land and producing thousands of tons of grain every year, enough to feed tens of thousands of people?
