Chapter 6: Empire of Crimson and Ice
Based on the location Vaerik selected, he successfully acquired 300 square kilometers of Northern land as his initial pioneering territory.
He named it—Crimson Tide Domain.
On one hand, it was because the Tudor family crest was crimson red;
On the other hand, it was to commemorate the homeland he could never return to.
In Duke Edmund's eyes, this land was just relatively more habitable than other areas in the North.
But in the eyes of Vaerik, who had the Daily Intelligence System, this was practically the Vatican of the North—the home of extreme luck!
First, the rivers within the territory would welcome fish migrations for spawning every spring and autumn, providing an extremely stable food source.
Fish meat is high in calories and protein, not only able to feed the residents but also provide energy for soldiers.
He could even anticipate the possibility of magical fish species like Northern Crystal Cod.
Second, the territory actually had geothermal vents, which were practically miraculous in the North.
Not only could they raise the temperature of the surrounding soil, allowing the cultivation of some cold-resistant crops, but they could also help people survive the harshest winter.
