I’m the legitimate son of a military family, but I’ve been declared talentless in martial arts and lacking magical affinity. My family treats me like a worthless good-for-nothing and exiles me to a side estate.
My father is the empire’s grand marshal, yet he treats me with cold indifference.
My relatives mock me without restraint, and even the servants dare to kick me when I’m down.
Just as everyone waits for me to rot away at the estate
I awaken natural magic!
I can make dead wood bloom and turn barren land into fertile fields.
I can cultivate land, control floods, train troops, and secure the northern frontier!
Recruit veterans, build a private army, boost agriculture, control the grain supply
The good-for-nothing of yesterday has become the empire’s most untouchable logistics powerhouse!
My father is stunned: My son has such extraordinary talent?
The nobles panic: Please, stop farming!
The barbarians tremble: He’s no mage. He’s the god of the earth!
Standing above thousands of acres of fertile fields, Renault smiles faintly.
“A sword can conquer the world. I can feed the entire world with a single seed!”
When an army of three hundred thousand barbarians bears down on the empire and the imperial court falls into chaos, Renault stands atop the northern frontier city walls, raising a thorny Great Wall and diverting the water to cut off the enemy’s supply routes.
Only then do people realize that this “good-for-nothing” legitimate son may have no strength to lift a chicken, yet he can command armies by the tens of thousands. He carries no sharp sword, yet he can secure an empire stretching ten thousand miles.
“Hohenheim conquered the land with swords. I’ll protect it with a plow.”, Renault von Hohenheim
Finally it is no longer a traditional cultivation stream! This kind of cool article that relies on logistics and wisdom to make a comeback is becoming more and more addictive the more I read it!
