Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence-Chapter 574 - 27: The Fire Rabbit Harvest and the Knights’ Restlessness

Under the iron-blooded governance of Oliver, the Provincial Affairs Council in Hesse Territory operates with remarkable efficiency and decisiveness. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

On the day of the Spring Brings Life to All Things festival, Vandar’s application to construct the Shrine of the Maiden’s Ring was promptly approved with an allocation of 800 Golden Crowns as the first batch of funding under Su Li’s directive the next day.

This scale of funding is truly substantial, prompting the dwarf construction team to temporarily halt other projects and deploy 140 dwarf engineers commanding a crew of 300 ogre workers for emergency construction.

These ogre workers are the top choice for construction teams, allowing the territory’s half-elves to almost completely dominate the building and construction industry.

In their autonomous region, the half-elves have deliberately built a camp for these ogre mercenaries on a hill last winter, peaking at over 600 ogres in the camp.

This has kept the territory alert and skeptical daily, considering it a potential risk.

Nevertheless, the Half-Elf Autonomous Region promises that no issues will arise. They’ve constructed a small barracks at the village’s edge, stationed with a unit of White Sword Guard. Although not officially recognized by Hesse Territory, they are a well-equipped half-elf warband notable for their magical artifacts, skilled in security combat — where about a dozen half-elf soldiers surround one or two ogre criminals and thugs. They can quickly incapacitate an ogre using various witchcraft ropes and magic scrolls, capturing opponents without shedding blood. Even elite or champion knights may falter and fall prey to their unpredictable magic tools if careless.

To ensure the successful construction of the Maiden’s Ring, the half-elf council dispatched three teams of visiting guards and twelve contractors to collaborate with 300-plus ogres alongside the dwarf engineers.

Such efficiency has accelerated the process, as witnessed by Su Li, with the mound rising visibly day by day.

In merely one cycle — eight days — the main structure of the Maiden’s Ring has formed, with a 27-meter mound becoming the tallest peak in this mountainous plain.

While the ogre workers continued construction, human cultivation did not fall behind. Over eight days, under the guidance of Dawn Church nuns, the half-elf mechanical team and nearly 3,000 slaves successfully cultivated close to 100,000 acres of farmland.

This initial batch of farmland will be planted with spring wheat, canola, cabbage, carrots, and other grain crops, with subsequent cultivated land planted with additional crops.

Surrounding the Maiden’s Ring will be fields of abundant grain.

The fact that the basic structure of the Maiden’s Ring has taken shape prompted Dawn Church’s more than twenty nuns to plant numerous flowers and grasses on the mound, shaped into a complex Reya emblem extending to the summit.

Dawn Church’s Shepherd Leader Vandar personally performed a precious Sunset divine ritual on this mound, causing masses of irises, violets, calendulas, lavender, fire moss, and Three Saints Heather — in pink, white, and pale purple — to flourish densely on the mound.

At the summit, dwarves constructed a waterwheel to draw water from Lake Revelin, allowing the clear Spiritual Energy-laden lake water to flow directly down the grass path, irrigating the grain fields below the mound and nourishing the flowers and grasses upon it.

Before the first spring rain fell, Dawn Church managed to transport a giant Rae Leaf icon to the mound’s summit using horse-drawn carts. Around the icon was erected a circle of large Ogham Stones, and evergreen ivy was planted around them. These trees remain verdant all year round, creating a pattern of light alongside the sunlight to enhance the visual appeal and religious solemnity and mystique.

They even left a flat flower bed beside the Ogham Stones, though its intention wasn’t explicitly stated, it’s clear the planned empty space is to see if this summer enough Rainbow Hail Crystals can be gathered here, cultivating a purple Spirit Field and planting a giant Spirit Tree to add layer and dimension to the mound.

With the first spring rain pouring down, the Dawn Church finally completed this Holy Land successfully.

Spring’s first rain is deemed sacred and divine by Dawn Church, whether it possesses divinity, Su Li is unsure, but afterward, the territory became truly vibrant with life.

The mound of the Maiden’s Ring was adorned with a riot of blooming flowers, while the fertile grain field beneath the Maiden’s Ring was lush green. This view alone, even devoid of any divine aspect, was incredibly pleasing, instilling belief in everyone that this spring would bring a massive harvest to the territory.

And Su Li, amidst this continuous spring rain, found immense enjoyment.

Now, he senses the superior environment under the Holy Purple Vine Tree, possibly due to his prolonged practice and elevated realm, becoming more sensitive to the Wind of Jilun.

After half a month of cultivation, he felt no backache or leg pain.

This rain, spanning three days, found him lying in a treehouse, thoroughly enjoying the experience; devoid of any pressure or crisis, he could listen quietly to the sounds of nature. Outside, the gentle patter of rain fell on the leaves, with the spring breeze passing through the abundance of flowers, the air laden with the fragrance of purple vine and the freshness of green bamboo and sweet orange.
