The arrival of thousands of dwarves has indeed sped up the construction of Su Li's territory significantly.

They have embarked on extensive construction across Hesse Territory, not only establishing the iconic water gate at Balan Village, but also planning hydraulic projects for each village.

Some of these facilities have already begun construction, while others are prepared and just waiting for time to complete.

This has greatly benefited the farming endeavors within the territory, as Su Li's main focus is on Jorn Shallow Bay.

His waterworks and irrigation facilities are particularly concentrated here.

The other villages and farmsteads lack sufficient hydraulic systems, and without complete irrigation facilities, agricultural output is poor.

However, the dwarves' hydraulic projects have effectively solved this issue.

In one breath, they have constructed thirteen hydraulic projects within Hesse Territory, including three reservoirs, four disaster prevention embankments, and several canals, totaling over forty miles in length.

Although the canal length is not extremely long, it adequately meets the needs of the currently cultivated farmland in the territory.

These dwarves are not all-purpose deities; they cannot solve all of the territory's needs in one go.

Problems encountered in development will ultimately need to be solved through further development. As more farmland arises, more waterworks can be constructed.

Apart from these rural hydraulic projects, they have also erected a batch of municipal buildings in other directions.

Jinke Mine has been completely seized by the territory, where the Kobolds have been exterminated. Over a hundred miners recruited by Hesse Territory and more than two hundred dwarves from the dwarf army have moved into the mine.

The dwarves' robust physiques and sturdy endurance are incomparable to the Kobolds. The amount of ore they excavate in one cycle equals what the Kobolds would take one or two months to dig.

The income from this batch of ore supports the tremendous consumption of so many blacksmith shops in the territory.

The yield from this large iron mine is somewhat beyond imagination. The dwarves are immensely thrilled and delighted; wherever they strike the pickaxe, high-content iron ore is uncovered effortlessly.

To store this vast wealth unearthed, the dwarves specially built a stone mine watchtower next to the mine.

This outpost is quite large, accommodating three hundred dwarves and storing several hundred thousand pounds of iron ore. A single smelting can produce ten thousand pounds of iron ingots.

This outpost's scale is fully credited to the assistance provided by the dwarves' arrival, building it far beyond the current level.

Under normal circumstances, a hundred dwarves would suffice to build a watchtower accommodating a hundred people.

Now, with a scale accommodating three hundred, one construction means Su Li might not need to expand for several months or years.

Of course, even if the territory develops quickly and requires expansion here, it's not much of a task.

This type of base is the easiest to expand outward—just connect another segment of wall outside the existing walls to expand into a considerable outpost.

Dwarves in this world are the most experienced in this aspect, as humans' castles and their fortresses are expanded in this manner.

Su Li's Heisen Castle employs this most classic method of expansion; the inner walls are untouched, while four sections are expanded outward along the walls.

These four sections all face north, incorporating wall paths, tower defenses, courtyards for leisure, stables, and warehouses to enhance the castle's layout.

The stables and granaries inside Su Li's castle hall have been moved north, except for the Death's Claw's stables still in front of the main building. The inner castle only retains the main building, monastery, prayer room, kitchen, and guardroom.

This undoubtedly greatly enhances his castle's overall living environment.

However, this hardly influences Su Li, as his northern Bauhinia Flower Manor is finally taking shape with the massive influx of dwarves.

The combination of dwarves and ogres truly constitutes a super construction team—forget building a hospital in seven days, in seven days they can build the manor's main body for Su Li.

Especially the ogres, with their immense strength, each akin to a rapidly moving piece of construction machinery.

The interior rooms exude a noble aura, built grand and imposing, yet opulent and magnificent. The ceilings are over ten meters high, making the space spacious and bright, tall and resplendent, no longer resembling the plain and cramped stone castle.

Su Li's favorite is undeniably the manor's two vermilion blood pine wood doors, towering at eight meters and eight—extremely grand.

Standing at two meters tall, the heavy armored knight guards at the door are less than a quarter of the door's height.

When the knights open these grand doors for him, as he strides through the doorway with the high-level attendants' support, golden sunlight pours over his back, casting his tall silhouette, making him feel utterly captivated by the grandeur and power of the scene, truly experiencing what non-majesty means no heavyweight!

The so-called temperament is always the elegance of the victor. The so-called dignity is always the background of the strong.

This single manor's construction has decisively captivated Su Li's heart through the dwarves.

No wonder their engineering masters are celebrated across the continent—they know how to cater to their clients!

Since the formation of Bauhinia Manor, he has indulged himself there for several days, losing himself in nightly festivities.

Under his overwhelming assaults, Ingrid eventually couldn't hold her ground, collapsing utterly, and yielding everything to Su Li.

Su Li also fiercely vented his boiling blood onto this cold, indifferent witch. This always aloof and terse beauty couldn't hold back, from breathing heavily to fainting, and finally crying and begging for mercy.

In this, apart from his desire to conquer this cold beauty, it also included the rage stirred in his chest by Shire.

As an official knight, facing the provocations of a championship-level Desire Demon, he inevitably underwent the erosion of chaos.

This was an unavoidable outcome for all knights at the time.

As long as one faced a demon, they would be affected to some extent. The higher the strength and the more devout the faith, the less the knight was influenced. The weaker and the less determined individuals were more greatly affected, with some ordinary farmers even collapsing mentally and undergoing mutations just from a glance at an evil demon.

The territorial knights who confronted Shire were quite powerful back then, but even so, this led to a business boom in the territory's brothels for several consecutive days.

Deep inside Su Li there lingered an indelible influence over these days, a strong desire to conquer women with fair skin, large and soft chests, and pink hair.

Although the more pink the hair, the harder the hit when fighting, he couldn't help but want to conquer such luscious beauties.

Ingrid's knightly training had been the most intense these days because she could use witchcraft to transform into a head of beautiful, flowing, silky pink hair.

But even with pink hair, Ingrid's cold personality was too different from the alluring and provocative Shire, ultimately leaving Su Li unsatisfied.

The personalities of his female courtiers differed greatly; Hilude was valiant and heroic, Avril was charming and cute, Philis was delicate and innocent, and Ingrid was cold and indifferent.

None of them were like Shire, who was full of sensuality, coquettish, and skilled in seduction.

Su Li felt she didn't need to do anything, just by extending her soft cherry lips, licking from the cherry lips to the corners, and then looking enchantingly at a man, she could make their blood boil within their chest and their heart beat fast to the point of exploding.

He wished he could press her down immediately, get up and stomp hard, and vent the fury and desire in his chest against her fair and sensual body.

Hilude advised him, saying it was the result of being corrupted by the Desire Demon, and it could be eradicated with sincere prayers in the monastery.

But Su Li knew he was once again being swayed by a man's pig-headed mindset. Even with four female courtiers serving him together, he couldn't be satisfied.

After all, sado cannot corrupt a rock that is inherently plain and desireless.

In recent days, Su Li had been consulting with Fastrick on how to satisfy this intense desire to conquer, and where to find such fair-skinned, sensual, pink-haired, enchanting beauties.

Fastrick insisted that those professionally trained female slaves among the Dark Elves could satisfy his needs.

So he kept encouraging Su Li to take a trip to Marle Castle, where slaves from all directions of the Empire were brought, with a high probability of finding women to sate his cravings.

But upon hearing about a trip to Marle Castle, Su Li hesitated again.

He wasn't someone who loved to roam around.

Especially when he could just lie down!

After fighting for so long, he just wanted to enjoy himself, to continue the music and the dancing here.

Philis's singing and dancing were unmatched, and she had no ambitions, just a small, charming household personality, now immersed in the sweet life after marriage, her heart and eyes full only of Su Li. To delight Su Li, she would gladly set aside her training to perform song and dance for him.

Moreover, at night, the four female courtiers would share the same bed with him, competing in beauty, assisting him in his knightly training, which was nothing short of enjoyment for him.

With varying body types, each with their own merits, chirpy and lively, night after night of music and revelry, every day required airing the bedding, and he was extremely happy, not wanting to risk and roam about.

He just wanted to farm and develop, then steamroll his opponents.

The key is that this was also very effective! His farming endeavors also soared with a boost from the Dwarves.

Under the request of Minister of the Seal Lauren and Minister of Agriculture Vandar, the Dwarves helped the territory successfully manufacture over twenty plowing machines; if not for the limitation on the number of Combat Rams, this figure could have doubled!

With this scale of production equipment backing them, the territory successfully developed over thirty thousand acres of fertile land before the summer harvest at Jorn Shallow Bay!

This number exceeded by more than fifty percent over what Su Li, Vandar, and Lauren had optimistically estimated!

And the territory's cultivated land wasn't just limited to these; these were the farms and fields directly owned by Su Li.

The farmland developed by various forest manor, village, and farm across the territory also covered more than ten thousand acres.

This meant that after the summer harvest, the scale of farmland in Hesse Territory would reach over forty thousand acres, even nearing fifty thousand acres of fertile land!

This number might not seem much on Earth, merely 500 hectares, less than the cultivated area of a township under a county of the Great Unified Dynasty.

But in this world, it was indeed a considerable wealth, surpassing many Kingdom Knight's Territories managed over generations.

After all, with the calculation of one man managing a hundred acres with five family members, it would still take five hundred households to cultivate fifty thousand acres of land.

Ordinarily, a Kingdom Knight's fenced-in territory didn't truly have five hundred households.
