Beramus and his friends returned to the city with their forest dragons.

　Including the young forest dragons, there were eleven of them in all.

　The inhabitants were quite surprised when they returned to town with the dragons.
　Forest dragons are big, and if you don't know what they are, they look like scary monsters. In fact, although they are the weakest of all dragons, they are strong enough to be a dragon. There's no doubt they're scary monsters.

　Even after Bellamus explained the situation, he was still scared of dragons for a while.

　I brought the dragons with me, but I didn't think I could catch them, so I didn't have the right environment to raise them at this time.
　So I put aside my road building work and hurriedly began to create an environment where the dragons could live.

　First, we need a place to live.

　They are large and like to move around, so we need to set up a large ranch for them.
　We're building a temporary dwelling in the city, but it's too small for them to stay there. It's just that there isn't that much land available in Belesdral. So we need to expand and build them as soon as possible.

　Bellamus has decided to build a forest farm in the woods west of town. The process is as follows.
　I'll cut down the trees in the west woods and surround it with a wall.
　Forest dragons are forest-dwelling monsters, but it doesn't mean that they need trees to grow. However, it's better to leave some trees behind. Leaving all the trees would interfere with the breeding process, so I'll leave some and cut down the others.
　There are some demons in the west woods, so we need to kill them as well. This will be a tedious task as we need to kill all the demons over a fairly large area.
　And finally, we need to build the hut. I'll use the magic house to build it.

　At the same time I need to make a ranch, I need to feed the dragons.
　Forest dragons are a rare herbivore among dragons.
　They like to eat a grass called rune grass, which also grows in the Great Forest of Frases.
　I was looking for it on my way home, but I didn't have enough for all of us. There is only enough for three days.
　It is necessary to find places where there are large numbers of rune grasses and to obtain large quantities.
　So I have a large amount of rune grass. You'll need to gather large quantities of seeds to grow them.
　If we enchanted the plant to grow quickly, it should be ready to grow in 30 days or so.
　We needed to find enough food for 30 days' worth of plants right away.

　Bellamus, Delarosa, Medero, Romesa, and the other magicians who were making their way around, decided to make their home and leave the search for rune grass to the Legionnaires.

Medina. I need you to find me some rune grass.

　I'm going to ask Medina to help me find the rune grass.

I wouldn't refuse anything if it was something Master Bellamus asked me to do. But what kind of grass is this rune grass?
Here.

　Vellums showed Medina a piece of rune grass he had brought from the woods.

"This is the kind of grass that sometimes grows in the woods. How much of this do I need to collect?
A lot. I'd like a hundred of these bags.

　Vellums had brought a bag with him and showed it to Medina.

'For 100 of these bags? ...... I understand.
You'll also collect any seeds you find nearby. Bring the harvest to the warehouse I'm gonna build on the west side of town, where I'll store the runes. You can leave the seeds there with me.
Yes, sir. We'll get right on it.

　Medina sends orders to the Legion ants.
　The total number of legion ants has increased significantly, now exceeding a thousand.
　This was still a far cry from their heyday though.

　First, Beramus creates a rune weed vault, which holds the rune grass. This was easy to make using the magic house, so it didn't take long. Vellums' magic power had also increased a lot, so he was able to build 30 houses a day.

　After that, they decided how far they would turn the area into a ranch, and built the wallbreaker.

"Now we are going to build the wall. First, we'll cut down the trees where we're going to build the fortification.

　We'll need vellums, de la Rosa, Medero, and Lomeza to create a protective wall.

What, chopping wood again, no? I'm bored yo.
There's no reason to go overboard this time. We'll build a wall after we cut it, so you'll have to be patient.
Okay.

　Delarosa nodded, even as her face puffed out .

''We need to finish building the ranch as soon as possible, so make it fast. Then we'll start the work.
