As the fighting devolved into Mechanoids repeating their orders based on their ranks, Jin continued to ask Pippy and Poppy about the situation in the Farming World. Apparently, Qiu Yue had been working so hard that everything was going apace. 

The remnants of the Northern Army, led by General Matt of the Northern Bulwark, had started to lead the people who were living in the Town of Wecha including those who escaped to Wecha during the massive operations against the Demon Rats. They began to reoccupy the towns after the cultivators and Jin's army of minions had previously cleared them of the Demon Rats.

This was to prevent the strain of resources that the Town of Wecha had been enduring but also allow the citizens to take back what was rightfully theirs. After all, Demon Rats were not the only plague that they had to contend with. This was the Farming World and thus monsters as well as predators were constantly growing in the wilds. The Northern Bulwark was tasked to ensure that the escort of those villagers was done safely.

At the same time, they saw ships upon ships coming to embark on the sole remaining seaport that the Northern Bulwark was holding on to. It was then they found out they were the Southerners who were so well equipped that the soldiers thought it was an invasion until they realised that they were here under the orders of Qiu Yue. 

Though the first wave of ships that came ashore were soldiers, they were here to set up a temporary encampment in order to assist with the subsequent waves of ships that were coming. This was because Qiu Yue had managed to micromanage and get resources as well as expertise to be shipped from the South to assist with the North. 

Now that the South had a solid bedrock foundation by using the technology from Jin's System, the craftsmen learnt the ways of modernisation. And they started to build stoned pavements for the seaport and upgrade the town in order to accommodate future interactions between the South and North. 

Obviously, General Matt was a little edgy that the South had troops more equipped than the North but the Goblin and Orc minions who were working with them assured them that they were not of a threat right now. 

And as they upgrade the town's infrastructure, they also performed road works to connect between towns and the first town was no other than their main trading road hub, Wecha. The Southerners might have been expecting a fight but they never realise that their fight was not with the Demon Rats but it was a fight to create progress and modernisation for another country.  Nevertheless, the Farming World was still producing a few monsters that could rival those itching for a good fight. 

According to the System, the spirit of Yggdrasil had started to recover but since its life energy had been severely mined and used by the Demon Rats, it also meant that the Demon Rats had been corrupting the surrounding areas even though it was 'accidental'. They were not deliberately causing harm to the environment but it was due to their nature where waste was tossed aside like waiting for your mother to pick up that dirty clothing you left hanging on the sofa but she ignored you to do so. (*Author's note: cough definitely not me I swear. But I know some people…) 

This in turn caused monsters to grow and they were the side effect of such methods. The Demon Rats were well armed not solely because of such rebellion but they had noticed that the more they mined Yggdrasil's life energy, the more such occurrences of monsters emerged. They had been improving their weapons and equipment in lieu to deal with such nonsense as well. 

It's just that the Northern people had no chance to see all these happening since they were locked up in their own towns. Even Gold and Weslie, the renowned Scholars of Farming World acknowledged that it was a problem they eventually had to deal with and that was why they were surprised that the Southerners were here to assist the Northern Bulwark in the security of the Northern Region as the townsfolk start to heal.

Weslie also noted that the Queen of the West did not provide too much assistance mainly due to such a problem as well. It might not look like it but the weakened Yggdrasil spirit had somehow caused nature to grow mutated plants that caused even more monsters to occur and their adventurers and army had to deal with it. 

Gold theorised that it could be Yggdrasil's response to the Demon Rats. "She's angry and her anger caused nature to mutate or as I quote Gold," Poppy said and Jin nodded his head.

"Apparently, Qiu Yue had been secretly researching monster occurrences in the South and did not take any chances when it comes to security," Pippy added.

Thus for the Southerners, they were used to such attacks since they had always been invaded by monsters due to their harsh living environment and with equipment provided by the grace of the System (including the harsh training for the recruits), they were able to settle more monster attacks while teaching the Northern Bulwark Army how to deal with such threats as well. 

"I see, I see. It's great that the Farming World is still doing well. I cannot wait to get out of this place and see what else Qiu Yue has done. Pippy, Poppy. A pleasure seeing you guys again. Likewise, the rest of you too." Jin shouted at the end as the Mousefolks cheered upon clearing up this particular group of Mechanoids and their commander.

"No problem Bossman. It's a pleasure to be under your wing and Zeru Sensi." The Mousefolk leader and vice leader took a bow as Jin stood up and decided to move to the next area while the Mousefolk cleaned up the place to wait for the next group.
