From Wild Mage to Wizard King.

Chapter 415: The Undead Mine is Completed
As the committee established initial rule in Castonas, the army moved in, and a complete shipping route was established, the affairs of Castonas came to an end.

Before absorbing all the resistance forces in Castornas and taking action against the Castornas nobles, Roland no longer needed to pay special attention to that place.

Roland returned to Apocalypse and re-engaged in the committee's administrative work.
Because he had to fight against the legendary legacy while opening a large space gate in Castonas, Roland did not act rashly to be on the safe side and focused entirely on maintaining the space gate. He did not open the space gate while handling government affairs as he had done before.

Therefore, during the few days he stayed in Castonas, some government affairs of Apocalypse also piled up waiting for Roland to deal with. So, after returning to Apocalypse, Roland first worked overtime to deal with these accumulated government affairs.

Although there was a lot of government affairs piled up, Roland quickly finished them by working overtime for two days.

After dealing with government affairs, Roland returned to his peaceful daily life. Every day after dealing with government affairs, he would find something to do to pass the time.

Although Roland and Hela had confirmed their relationship before, Roland's daily life did not change much. The reason was very simple. Hela was also responsible for the mining of the Tears of the Moon Goddess.

Although the two had been a little closer during the time when Hela was resting and treating her magic addiction, after Hela recovered, she took on the mining work of the Tears of the Moon again, and Roland returned to his previous daily life.

Roland was able to distinguish between public and private affairs. Although he had a new lover, this did not affect Roland's performance of his duties as chairman.

Of course, there are changes. Although Roland has no experience in love in both of his lives, he has accumulated a lot of theoretical knowledge by surfing the Internet in his previous life.

Therefore, although Roland worked almost the same as usual, when Roland and Hela were resting or had free time, Roland would bring some things to visit her.

Considering that things bought are not as sincere as those made by hand, Roland also practiced his cooking skills in his spare time. As a high-level spellcaster, after Roland studied hard for a while, the quality of the desserts and cakes he made was better than those on the market.

After all, even the desserts and cakes provided to official personnel were mass-produced, and the committee did not have the luxury of having a high-level spellcaster make these things.

In the entire war committee, only Hela can enjoy it regularly.

In addition, if Roland occasionally makes too much, he will include the excess in the dessert share of Apocalypse City Hall, so some officials in the city hall who are luckier can eat the desserts and cakes made by Roland like Hela.

After returning to Apocalypse from Castonas, the War Council did not encounter similar matters again.

Due to the economic plan formulated by the Second Plenary Session of the War Council, the War Council was very conservative in territorial expansion, except for the development of the buffer zone for future plans and the annexation of Castornas for population absorption.

Even though the War Council had the upper hand over the Green Tide, under Roland's restrictions, the military's expansion plans towards the Green Tide were very conservative. Over the years, the border line was only pushed forward a few hundred meters in the direction of the Green Tide.

This is for the safety of border towns, otherwise the War Council might not advance even one meter.

The same is true for the expansion of the Dragon Spine Mountains. It is mainly centered on the dwarf territory currently occupied and ruled, and slowly develops the Dragon Spine Caves near the dwarf territory that have been cleared and confirmed to be safe.

Even if new dwarf or goblin tribes were discovered in the Dragon's Back Mountains, they would all be recruited and migrated here.

In an environment of stable development, peaceful daily life passes by quickly.

The War Council is still working hard for the Seven-Year Economic Plan. Although there are still some minor turbulences within the War Council, the overall focus is still on economic construction and peaceful development.

Whether it was the various difficulties encountered by the first and second construction corps in the buffer zone reclamation, the various chaos and troubles encountered in the incorporation of the resistance forces in the temporary province of Castonas, or the various dwarf and goblin tribes discovered when going deep into the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

These are not matters that deserve particular concern to the current war committee. For a powerful war committee, these are minor issues and they will support those who need support and recruit those who need to be recruited.

After ten years of training, the War Committee could handle these matters with ease. If they allocated a little more manpower, they could easily solve all these problems.

With peaceful development, the War Council entered its eleventh year after its establishment, that is, 1458.

As the bells rang to mark the end of the New Year celebrations and the War Council entered the new year, Roland, who was in the apocalypse, also received some good news from within.

The War Council's Necromancers' experimental project was successfully completed.

After research and design by the Necromancers, the small Undead Mine project, which took into account the current situation of the War Committee, had successfully passed the preliminary tests several months ago.

After completing the preliminary tests, several reviews and Roland's final approval, the necromancers began to try to put the project into practice.

Northeast of Donnar, near the Dragon Ridge Mountains and the Steel Hills area controlled by the Green Tide, the War Council handed over a mining area that had been abandoned due to the Green Tide invasion to the Necromancers.

Steel Hill is the main production area of ​​Donnar minerals. From the most basic iron ore to various extraordinary mineral veins, Steel Hill has everything. Moreover, Steel Hill’s mineral vein resources are not only diverse, but also have very rich reserves.

During the period of the Knight Kingdom of Donnar, Steel Hill was occupied and controlled by a powerful Knight Kingdom. They controlled the mineral producing area of ​​Steel Hill and recruited a large number of dwarf craftsmen. Therefore, the mining and foundry industries were very developed and could produce a steady stream of weapons and equipment.

Relying on a large amount of weapons and equipment, the Knight Kingdom gave birth to a large number of knights and formed a powerful knight order, thus becoming the overlord of northern East Nar and once monopolized the weapons and equipment market in northern East Nar.

When the countries of East Nar united to fight a decisive battle against the Green Tide, nearly 30% of the coalition's weapons and equipment were produced here.

However, this is all a thing of the past. The once powerful kingdom was eventually destroyed in the green tide.

The once prosperous mines and furnaces have turned into ruins.

Although the War Committee once considered reopening the mine after taking control of this area, Steel Hill was located in the eastern territory of the committee at the time. The eastern territory was chosen by Roland as the battlefield for the battle with Kan'aozu, and after development, it was very likely that it would be reduced to ruins again because of the battle between Roland and Kan'aozu.

At the same time, considering the output of the mines developed in the western territory of the committee and the Dragon's Back Mountains at that time, as well as the inheritance obtained from the dwarf warehouses, the War Committee, whose mineral resources were not particularly scarce, did not develop Steel Hill.

After the war, the War Committee annexed the United Army and acquired another mineral producing area in Donnar from the United Army. However, considering the mining costs, the War Committee has not developed Steel Hill due to the lack of human resources.

It was not until the necromancers completed the design of their automated undead mining area and needed an unmanned mine that the administrative department took out the information about Steel Hill from countless materials.

Although necromancy is no different from other spells, even in Sinar, the Sinar people who worship spellcasters are prejudiced against necromancers. Most Sinar people will not choose to specialize in necromancy unless they have no choice. Even the Sinar people are like this, let alone the Donnar people. They are even more prejudiced against necromancers and the power of the dead.

Among the nine Primarch Legions of the War Council, the Death Knights are also the least popular Primarch Legion. The Donar people would rather be Light Invokers, Wood Apostles, or even Shadow Dancers than become Death Knights.

It was not so bad in the chaotic era when the Green Tide was rampant. Facing the Green Tide, as long as it could bring revenge and gain power, the Death Knight would be the Death Knight. Some of them had their families destroyed, and the people of Donar, who had a blood feud with the Green Tide, were willing to accept it.

But in the peaceful era after the Green Tide was repelled, few Donnar people were willing to become Death Knights. The Death Knights themselves felt that they were not good enough. After the war, some Death Knights and Necromancers even wanted to commit suicide.

If it weren't for the existence of the Fountain of Life, they would have succeeded. After discovering this, Roland urgently sent a group of psychic spellcasters to comfort and deal with their mental problems.

Therefore, the Death Knights became the only legion among the nine primarch legions with permanent psychic spellcasters, and the Necromancer's Research Institute became the only research institute among all the research institutes with permanent psychic spellcasters.

In order to ease people's prejudice against necromancy, Roland designated the Death Knights as the permanent legion in the capital of Apocalypse and activated the committee's propaganda network to continuously publicize the achievements of the Primarch Legions, with the Death Knights being a key focus.

Although this move slightly improved the acceptance of necromancy among the people of the War Council, now is not the time to expose the undead to the public on a large scale.

Of course, this is only hidden from the public. Among official personnel, necromancy is already a semi-public existence. After all, the vast dead land and a large number of undead mines in the deep mountains and forests cannot be hidden from official personnel.

Moreover, when Roland was fighting Kan'ozu, a large part of the various resources shipped from the rear to the front were transported by the undead. The people were restricted from going out and didn't know about it, but those who had been to the front basically knew it.

However, even so, the official personnel's acceptance of necromancy is not very high. The main reason why they can accept necromancy now, maintain a tacit understanding, and say nothing is only one, that is, necromancy is promoted by Roland.

In summary, although necromancy and necromancy have been important components of the War Council since its inception, until now, necromancy and necromancy are still secrets that cannot be made public.

Therefore, even if the automated undead mine is designed to be safe and reliable and will not affect living people, it is better to build it in an uninhabited area.

This is not only the view of the administration, but also the view of the necromancers.

This uninhabited steel hill just meets the requirements of the necromancers.

After Roland finally approved their project at Steel Hill, the necromancers drove the undead, carrying a large amount of building materials, and headed to Steel Hill through the transportation network.

Since necromancy and necromancers are not yet available to the public, the construction of automated undead mines can only be done by necromancers themselves.

Even though they are spellcasters with unlimited supplies and the assistance of the undead, the construction of the undead mine is not easy for them.

With the joint efforts of nearly a hundred necromancers, hundreds of thousands of undead, and the committee's support at all costs, the construction of the undead mine took nearly half a year to be successfully completed.

As the collective wisdom of the necromancers, when it was about to be completed, they all refused to rest, did not participate in the New Year celebrations, and worked overtime to build the undead mine.

Therefore, they were able to send Roland such good news after the New Year celebrations.

After receiving the message, Roland also used his space bracelet to pack a space of comfort items and sent them over directly.

In the Undead Mine, several necromancers arranged the space anchor points and slowly retreated to make room. Then, Roland locked the coordinates through the space anchor points and teleported directly from Apocalypse.

Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, Roland's figure appeared before their eyes.

"Chairman."

After Roland emerged, several necromancers present also bowed slightly to Roland and greeted him.

"Brodie, Jones, Tana, Ivan, Nek, thank you for your hard work."

Roland also returned the greeting slightly, smiled, and accurately said the names of several necromancers in front of him.

"Chairman, these are the experimental data and actual output results of the Undead Mine. We have lived up to your expectations. The actual output of the mine has exceeded the expected output by 30%. In actual operation, only ten low-level spellcasters are needed to meet the minimum operating requirements of the Undead Mine."

"Even if we want to improve the quality of our work, we only need to add three more low-level spellcasters to ensure the quality of our work."

A necromancer came over and handed Roland some information while talking continuously.

"Ah."

Roland took the information, glanced at it briefly, nodded slightly, and said.

“You guys did a great job, it was amazing.”

Hearing Roland's praise, several necromancers smiled, and the necromancer who had just handed Roland the information also hurriedly said.

"Chairman, would you like to check it yourself?"

"No need, I believe you."

Roland shook his head and said.

"Let's find a spacious place first."
