Lords: From Civilization to the Stars.

Chapter 12 Foresight
If we were to comment on an area in another world that is unfriendly to civilization, then the Old World is undoubtedly the most unfriendly area.

Compared to other super-large regions, such as Erathia, or Middle-earth, Tamriel, Eastern Kingdoms and other regions, the people of the Old World can be said to be full of hostility and xenophobia.

All fleets from the outside world were attacked unconditionally, and all missionaries and caravans that appeared were strictly tested and blocked. Even in most cases, missionaries from other regions would be killed directly and unconditionally, and would not even be sent back.

This is not just true for humans, it's true for other species as well.

Be it elves, dwarves, or even the undead and spirits, they are all like this.

For various reasons, the people in the Old World were filled with hatred and distrust towards any foreign race. Various looting and killings between each other were commonplace.

And because it is located at the edge of the world, space and time are also very unstable, and some nightmare monsters often come out to do something big. War gangs that believe in the end of the world always rush out from the North Pole or somewhere with a group of beastmen to burn, kill and plunder.

There are the ratmen who are researching biochemical technology, the mysterious lizardmen who are doing something unknown, the Norsemen who appear out of nowhere and burn, kill and loot on the seashore, and even the undead pirates deep in the sea.

Heroes from all walks of life gathered together to celebrate the great event.

It is precisely because of this bloody and cruel human environment that the Old World, with the most backward technological level, has firmly established itself as one of the top three, or even the first, combat power among large regions.

It's just that because of the extremely serious internal friction among the races, the greatest pleasure of each major population is to hold others back, and the blood feuds between each other are ruthless, etc., the countries in the old world cannot even expand outward.

And it is in this hot land where heroes from all walks of life continue to work hard that there are always some unexpected gains for players.

In the series of information found by Leon, compared with other worlds with stable order, many players in the old world are actually developing faster and are a group with extremely high gains and information.

Because this place is really too chaotic. In other places, if you can't speak the language and can't communicate, you'll be in jail or negotiating most of the time, but in this hot land, it's different. Everyone communicates with each other with swords, and maybe there will be some unexpected gains.

Leon had a lot of fun recording all kinds of strange magic props, mysterious relics, some nautical landmarks and legends.

"I wonder if I can find some tools or magic that can maintain my body's functions..."

Looking at the piles of food and drink storage, Leon wiped the sweat from his head tiredly, feeling satisfied with the many locations he had marked.

He marked some landmark buildings and possible wonders near the North Pole. If nothing unexpected happened, Leon's next move should be to use the strong productivity and magic power brought by the two wonders of Stonehenge and the test site to start exploring and colonizing the Chaos Wasteland.

Among them, Ulfric was not the first choice for exploration. On the contrary, Leon had a more complete plan for Ulfric.

Because of the control function of the magic stone circle, ordinary Norsemen can handle short-term exploration and clearing out the demons in the Chaos Snowfield.

According to the data from the investigation, in the manipulated magic area, the power of chaos is difficult to extend, and the ability of the demons will be greatly weakened. There is no need to let Ulfric, a hero unit, lead the team and waste his talents.

Leon wanted to let Ulfric take some slaves and Norscans to return to the Norscan tribe along the route of astrological exploration. Through duels and looting among tribal leaders, the coastal population could be quickly concentrated in the Land of Descendants to fill the gap in the city's population.

More than 200 people are of little use. It's okay to build a small urban gathering place, but it's obviously not enough to develop deeper areas.

As for allowing female slaves to reproduce, it is nonsense.

Apart from using magic, a universal point, to promote birth, Leon had no other way to increase the population. And magic had to be collected in the short term to fill the gap in the wonders of the test area, and it couldn't be wasted. So letting Ulfric go out and lead the team to grab people back was a must.

As for various cultures and conflicts, people's political rights and struggles, after Leon thought about it briefly, he felt that there should be no problem.

Because in the final analysis, the struggle for rights is a struggle for the right to distribute social property.

Then the question is, how could Li Ang give up his rights?

He is civilization itself, he is the ultimate individual of distribution.

Each of them must contribute their own strength to the entire civilization according to Leon's ideas, and all positions, scientific progress and magic are handled by Leon himself.

Power? Bureaucracy? Bullshit.

I've already cheated, so what can I do to you guys to fight for power? All of you should inherit the knowledge and create wonders. The honeycomb network from top to bottom is so powerful.

In fact, there is another concern about the Norsemen's gathering, which is the fortification and clearing of the surrounding environment.

Although the Holy Grail is very useful, its hidden effect is probably that it makes people full of energy and increases productivity by half out of thin air, but the so-called chivalrous expedition is not a problem that can be easily ignored.

After clearing out the surrounding Norse villages that might serve as recruiting grounds and food supply sites for the enemy in advance and gathering them at the landing site, those chivalrous expeditionary knights can only rely on their own fleets and servants to carry out a one-time attack.

At worst, we can use Stonehenge to turn all the ocean blocks and ice surfaces into vast snowfields, and that’ll be enough for them to attack us.

Even if they attack, Leon can switch to productivity mode on the same day, letting the Norsemen block the entrance to the landing place with weapons and fight with the opponents.

After roughly planning the next direction of civilization development in his mind, Leon ate food to replenish his energy and vitamins, then lay down on the bed and closed his eyes, using his consciousness to contact the game system.

And once again, it seemed like a moment had passed, but it also seemed like countless years had passed.

The world before my eyes bent and tilted in the blink of an eye, then turned into chaos.

"what……"

Li Ang opened his eyes again, and the world in front of him became the same as it was when he left.

The only difference was that a familiar-looking person was hanging in the distance of Leon's sight.

"Ulfric, explain."

“He seeks to spread the so-called grace of the Lady of the Lake in your name.”

Looking at the bearded man struggling in the air, Ulfric slapped his head speechlessly.
