Su Chen continued to look at the remaining rewards.

The buffs for the production of the two towns were very practical and could greatly increase the agricultural income of the town.

The defense of the town had also been strengthened. With the protection of the Magic Circle, there was no need to worry about the invasion of the monsters for the time being. After repairing the infrastructure of the town, he could instruct Maggie to start developing agricultural production.

After all, the economic base determined the development of the town. Whether a territory could develop in the long run or not was most dependent on the economic situation.

With money, they could build better defense fortifications, afford larger guards and knights, build high-level buildings such as magic towers, and so on.

Equally important was the medical and sanitation facilities. Previously, the town only had a priest responsible for simple treatment and bandaging. After the constant attacks of the monsters, the casualties of the town increased.

After all, the population was productivity. As the number of casualties increased, there was no way to make up for the deaths of the labor and combat personnel.

Most of the people were injured and did not receive timely treatment, resulting in wound infection and deterioration, and eventually died.

The system reward included the construction blueprint of the Medical Center. The effect could condense ten primary healing spells per day, and it would continue to be shrouded in a healing aura. It would also have a healing effect on the patients admitted.

This was also a good thing. When he went back, he could give it to Maggie and let him be in charge of supervising the construction as soon as possible. By then, the patients and the wounded in the town would be properly settled, and the mortality rate and disability rate would be greatly reduced.

The trade routes also needed to be opened up. They could strengthen the training of the guards and protect the trade caravans from trading with the neighboring city.

After the town had the agricultural production buff, both the output and the production speed had been greatly increased. This would quickly accumulate a portion of agricultural products, so they had to find a good sales channel, this seemed to be left to Maggie to do.

Su Chen thought that Maggie seemed to be in charge of a lot of things. Maggie was responsible for the development of the town, and it was definitely too busy for one person.

Moreover, the town was going to develop in the direction of a city. It seemed that it was necessary to select some outstanding personnel to aid in the city’s development. These were things that needed to be done slowly in the future.

Now, he had to first understand the reward given to him by the system.

Su Chen looked at the omniscient map. It was made of a material that was a little like cowhide. It was slightly yellow.

The map outlined one line after another. Touching it would cause a detailed image to appear in his mind. It was a little like a satellite aerial view.

Right now, there was only a small circle in the middle of the map that was bright and visible. The surroundings were surrounded by a thick black fog. He could not see the things beneath the fog clearly.

When Su Chen wanted to see what was in the bright place, he found that he could zoom in on the map. He could only vaguely see a bunch of houses on the screen, most of which were green.

There was also a small river as thin as a strand of hair. If it was not for the color difference, he would not have been able to see it.

“Continue to zoom in!”

Su Chen chanted in his heart. The residential area in the center of the screen became clearer. He recognized that this was his small town.

The stone walls on the south and east sides were damaged. Houses were gathered together in a disorderly manner. At the same time, he found his current location.

It was a small castle that originally belonged to the Karev family on the west side of the town.

Su Chen vaguely saw pedestrians moving like ants. He suspected that his eyes were playing tricks on him. The alliance continued to zoom in.

He could indeed see pedestrians walking on the street. The guards stationed outside the castle were running toward the castle! There were also pedestrians on the streets of the town!

This map showed real-time images of the area! It was equivalent to a super-clear satellite image!

With this map, not only could he predict the attack in advance, he could even see the movements of the enemy clearly! He could also see the surrounding terrain, the movement trajectories of the monsters, and so on!

This was simply a divine weapon for strategic reconnaissance!

As expected of the omniscient map, it could see everything in the vicinity at a glance.

Looking at this map, Su Chen thought of the system map from his previous life when he was playing online games. The places he had never been to were covered in black fog. It seemed that he needed to find a time to walk around and broaden his view of the map.

The last reward was the god-level knight training technique. From the name, it could be seen that this was a godly skill that could train knights!

The reward was divided into two parts.

One part included the training of the knight’s combat aura and combat skills, the cultivation of the powerful knights, learning stronger skills, and improving the individual combat strength of the knights.

The other part included the teaching of the knight’s formation, including some charging, attacking, and defensive formations. After learning the latter part, the knight contingent would go through continuous training and cooperation, which could stimulate the team effect of the formation, when the knights’ small teams fought together, their battle prowess would be doubled.

This was a good thing! Su Chen could not help but exclaim in his heart. The cultivation of knights was very difficult. The key lay in the cultivation of individual cultivation techniques and the cooperation between small teams.

Every powerful clan team had its own set of training methods and the criteria for selecting reserve knights. Some learned for themselves, while others had secret techniques passed down from generation to generation, all of them had very high requirements for a knight’s personal qualities.

The combat aura cultivation method contained within this divine knight training technique was far more efficient than any other knight’s combat aura cultivation method on this continent.

Moreover, this was only the first stage of the god knight training technique. The highest that could be nurtured was a gold knight.

After an ordinary person’s physique went through painstaking training, they could gradually become stronger. This provided a possibility for Su Chen to be able to mass produce powerful knights.

At the moment, Su Chen had no way to recruit or teach mages on a large scale. Knights with a certain level of strength were now his main fighting force.

This was because he could not completely rely on the glimmer knights. There was only an hour of summoning time every day, and there was also time to cool down after casualties, whether it was daily military guarding activities or dealing with sudden situations.

In reality, a powerful knight contingent was always his primary fighting force. The Glimmer Knights could only be used as a trump card or a contingency plan.

Su Chen thought about it and passed on this god knight training technique to Captain Ian first. Then, he would select and nurture the Knight Contingent. After delegating all the tasks in his hands, he was also willing to be a hands-off manager.

“Mayor! The castle has been completely taken over! Some of the people who resisted have been killed, and the remaining servants and guards have surrendered and submitted.”

At this time, Ian’s voice sounded from outside the door.

Su Chen pushed the door open and said to Ian, “Go back and rest. Call Maggie tonight.. I have important tasks to assign!”
