Faced with this situation, Lear felt quite helpless too.
In the end, he straightforwardly enlisted the swamp banshees.
These magical beings had intelligence far superior to ordinary people and a comprehensive knowledge system, so they handled administrative work with great order.
However, they soon found it boring and tedious, finding no emotional reward in handling administration, incomparable to drama.
The clever swamp banshee summarized and immediately proposed a suggestion—
Since suitable talents were hard to find, why not train them ourselves?
This caught Lear’s attention.
He looked at the swamp banshees with a scrutinizing gaze.
Immediately, he decided to appoint them as the Chief Officers for Cultural Knowledge Dissemination, to conduct two hours of literacy and knowledge teaching every night.
If others were the teachers, the residents might not be willing to learn, but swamp banshees were different; the exaggerated popularity amassed from theatre made them extremely sought after.
Of course, their most important asset was their singing.
It could lead people into illusions, allowing them to taste fear, ecstasy, or even death.
It could be used for battle, or for... passing on knowledge.
That very day, Lear implemented this decision, and as the territory gathering returned at dusk, he ordered the lessons to commence.
As soon as the swamp banshees spoke, the somewhat restless residents were immediately captivated.
They listened, enraptured, as the swamp banshees taught basic knowledge, writing in the common language, spelling...
Their engrossed demeanor was awe-inspiring, even more so than the most dedicated students.
By the end of the lesson, even the elders with the poorest learning abilities excitedly shouted that they had learned 50 common characters.
The teaching efficiency was so astonishing it left people in awe.
Lear was delighted by this; with such efficiency, parents on Earth would sell their houses to get their kids tutored here.
He immediately rewarded them with a drama performance that evening.
He then declared that from then on, for every three days of knowledge imparted, they would be rewarded with a performance.
This made the swamp banshees immensely excited.
After the drama, they hurriedly held another class late into the night, leaving the territory’s residents exclaiming that they had gained brains, as the hodgepodge of knowledge was deeply imprinted on their souls.
The next day, they were amazed to find that they still firmly remembered those pieces of knowledge.
They joyfully spread the word, and everywhere people could be seen writing on the ground, showing off their profound cultural knowledge.
Even while working, they had to squat down with a proud grin to write a few words before continuing, which annoyed the foremen so much that they made a strict rule that no writing was allowed during work to put an end to it.
Progress was being made on the swamp banshee side, and the crimson queen bee returning from the night hunt also had bountiful gains.
The bubble beasts’ bubbles were filled with corpses, yielding more than 3,000 in one day’s hunt!
The crimson queen bee flew directly out of the swamp and into the wilderness to hunt.
The high-speed mobility of these flying creatures gave them a wider range to explore.
They could effortlessly cover tens of kilometers in less than half an hour.
This made their gains quite remarkable.
On the other side, Haggs also brought back seven or eight hundred corpses; today, they encountered not many monster gathering points, but the numbers were quite high, and based on the count, they had already surpassed their task goal.
The delighted Lear continued to cultivate the cold-blooded cavalry.
Amidst the accumulation of vast amounts of corpses, the number of cold-blooded cavalry being promoted exceeded six squads.
If all were enlisted, the number of level 11 cavalry at hand would directly exceed one squadron.
Feeling very pleased.
This is what it means to cultivate an army.
The night quickly came, and when the clock struck past midnight, time slipped quietly into August 30th.
The last day of the month, also the time when intelligence was refreshed once more.
