The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 100 The Overlord Clause
This era is limited by transportation factors and the lag in information exchange. Compared with Yuri's previous life, the pace of war is excruciatingly slow.

One month after the Battle of Wilmington, Yuri only completed control of the surrounding area, and the news of the Battle of Wilmington spread throughout North Carolina!

War is for politics. Although there are some changes here in Yuri, the essence is still the same. At most, the word 'politics' is replaced by conquest.

Conquest is not about fighting to kill all the enemies. If Yuri wants to establish the ruling authority belonging to the Sauron family, someone must be in charge of the people.

The Sauron family expanded so fast that they didn't have so many ready-made officials at all, and even if they implemented military control, their manpower was slightly insufficient.

Therefore, Yuri needs the surrender faction from North Carolina to assist him.

In South Carolina, thanks to Jackson, the current governor, the establishment of the authority of the Sauron family is very easy, and even Yuri doesn't need to leave garrison troops.

In North Carolina, Yuri naturally wanted to find someone like Jackson.

This kind of person can't be obtained by Yuri's order and appointment. Airborne governor is useless in North Carolina, unless Yuri takes troops to fight city by city, and leaves some in the captured cities. Garrison troops, promote a large number of officials, and establish their own administrative system little by little...

According to that process, even if North Carolina is vulnerable to Yuri and collapses at the first touch, it is estimated that it will take at least half a year!
This is still a conservative estimate, without external interference!

What if the United States of America sneaks into Wilmington, which has an empty defense, while Yuri is sweeping across North Carolina?
After all, the number of Yuri's army is too small, and except for the game soldiers, the rest of Yuri's army is just a show, and Yuri never expected them to really work hard for himself!

Therefore, there are not many candidates who can become the governor of North Carolina from the Sauron family. They must be local snakes in North Carolina.

The most ideal target is naturally the Governor General of North Carolina, and Charlotte Wilmington, the patriarch of the most powerful Wilmington family in North Carolina.

The 'luck' of the governor-general was very good. When Yuri attacked Wilmington, he just left Wilmington's lair to recruit troops.

Of course, whether this is a coincidence or deliberately arranged by Charlotte of the Wilmington family, I don't know...

Yuri preferred to believe that it was not a coincidence.

The reason is simple. After the Battle of Wilmington, Charlotte looked at General Gates who was running hastily with his tail between his legs and all the United States troops that had withdrawn, and took the initiative to send a negotiation envoy to Yuri in the city of Wilmington. .

One party took the initiative to confess, and the other party just needed a spokesperson for overall management in North Carolina, and the two hit it off.

Therefore, just one month after the Battle of Wilmington, North Carolina officially declared its membership in the Union of America and declared war on the United States of America and the British Empire at the same time!

It's just that the terms of the two declarations of war are different.

What was submitted to the British Empire was a formal declaration of war, and to the United States of America, a proclamation was issued in the name of counterinsurgency...

Just as the United States of America does not recognize the Commonwealth of America, the Commonwealth of America does not recognize the United States of America.

Both sides accused each other of being the sinner who hindered the unified and harmonious society of the North American colonies...

According to the practice in South Carolina, Charlotte personally selected a team of veterans to form the North Carolina Infantry Regiment to join the Yuri Legion.

Now the total number of Yuri Legion has expanded to more than 8000 people.

These include the Savannah Infantry Regiment, the North Carolina Infantry Regiment, and the South Carolina Infantry Regiment, each with about 2000 people, which totals more than 6000 people.

The rest are some miscellaneous personnel, members of the artillery regiment, and more than 1000 game soldiers under Yuri's command.

The number of artillery officially broke through the three-digit mark. In addition to old artillery and small and medium-caliber mortars, it also included 15 3-pounder field guns and 4 [-]-pounder field guns.

The latter two are not new products, but they are definitely good things in the North American colonies.

Even the six-pounder field gun counted as a heavy artillery unit in the North American colonies.

No way, there is no 12-pound field gun in the North American colonies, so it is naturally the tallest among the dwarfs.

Of course, in the face of old artillery and 3-pound field guns, the [-]-pound field gun can indeed easily suppress the opponent's firepower, after all, it has an absolute advantage in terms of range.

Yuri's dominance lies in that, except for the game soldiers, the rest of Yuri's army is supported by financial and logistical supplies provided by local governments.

The Savannah Infantry Regiment mainly relies on the Savannah government for support, including payment of military salaries, wartime allowances, food and drink, and consumption of ammunition supplies.

By the same token, the North Carolina and South Carolina Infantry are both supported by North Carolina and South Carolina treasuries.

In other words, the money that the Sauron family spent on Yuri's army was just to meet the game soldiers in Yuri's army who didn't need military pay and wartime allowances, just to fill their stomachs!

Even the Sauron family can save this little expense, because the materials that Yuri collected from the captured areas alone are enough to support these people.

The expenses of the other legions are 'payment' one year in advance.

In any place, Yuri's request can be regarded as excessive.

However, whether it was Jackson in South Carolina or Charlotte in North Carolina, they all cooperated fully without complaint.

Well, they dare not complain...

Therefore, the seemingly autonomous and equal political slogan of the American Federation is actually equivalent to the fact that the Sauron family turned the two continents into their own vassals. Almost [-]% of the materials and money spent on Yuri’s expedition were spent on North Carolina and South Carolina. !

In addition, every time Yuri conquered a region, he had to recruit a group of strong men for free to serve as civilian husbands to transport military supplies to the troops of Yuri's army.

In order to ensure efficiency and make no mistakes, Yuri directly dispatched local soldiers from Yuri’s army to guard and serve as guides…

Therefore, it is still very useful to obtain an infantry regiment from the local area.

Yuri's oppression naturally ruined his reputation and the reputation of the Sauron family to the extreme.

Wherever Yuri's Legion passed by, the people's livelihood complained. The strange thing is that no gun-armed mob in any town dared to resist...

They were all frightened by Yuri's dazzling record and terrifying summoning ability!

Although Yuri did not massacre the capital city in North Carolina, his record of defeating a main army of the United States of America is undoubtedly more shocking!
