The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

The army was defeated like a mountain. At this moment, these five words could not be more appropriate to describe the battle situation of the Eastern Frontier Fortress.

Accompanied by the fall of the outer trenches, the influx of a large number of soldiers from the Eastern Territory Army can be said to have caused the Europa troops in charge of the garrison to retreat steadily.

Within a short while, the entire trench position was completely lost.

The defenders of Europa retreated all the way to the entrance of the fortress, trying to die.

However, it has already reached this point, how can Liu Meng give the opponent any chance to breathe?

The Elephant Man giant artillery advancing with the army pressed directly on it.

Although the position of the Elephant Giant Artillery has been arranged in a large back row position, as a flexible unit with mobility, his melee destructive power should not be underestimated.

At the same time, the most important thing is that in this kind of melee situation, in order to avoid accidentally injuring their own people, the artillery units in the rear cannot provide artillery support at all, but the elephant artillery can rush up quite simply and spread out close war!

He directly used the barrel of the giant cannon in his hand as a melee weapon, and the brutal melee strike smashed open the defense line at the entrance of the enemy's fortress.

At this moment, the last straw of the eastern frontier fortress was completely broken. Even though the garrison general was unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and give the evacuation order.

In this regard, if conditions permit, Liu Meng will naturally not let go of this opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

The pursuit order was issued almost directly. While completing the task of capturing the Eastern Frontier Fortress, the infantry unit of the Eastern Frontier Corps can be said to have directly launched the pursuit mission.

However, this frontier fortress was the home field of the Europa army after all, and in terms of familiarity, the opponent far surpassed the soldiers of the Eastern Border Army.

After quickly escaping from the exit at the other end of the fort, the guard of the Eastern Frontier Fort led a group of soldiers under his command before he could escape far.

A sudden howl of wolves in the distance shocked him wholeheartedly.

At this moment, the werewolf ranger troops guarding there as the backhand quickly killed them.

In the next second, the rapidly spreading shooting formation directly led to a wave of fire salvo!

The Europa army, which was attacked during the evacuation process, was already in chaos and wanted to break through, but the entire army had long since lost its organization, and the scattered offensive could hardly pose much threat. Relying on his own mobility and flexibility, he continued to intercept and kill them.

After failing to break through several times, they bumped themselves to the point of bleeding. At this moment, a large number of Europa soldiers were shot, and the shadow of death quickly enveloped their hearts.

And during this period, the main force of the Eastern Territory chasing behind followed suit.

The front and rear flanking attacks and the continuous intertwining of double firepower quickly brought the battle to an end while depriving the Europa troops of their resistance.

The successful capture of this enemy's frontier fortress in the east is of great significance to the army in the east.

On the other side, Bai Ze and Burigude also returned in triumph.

Without the barrier of this frontier fortress, the cities in the rear were instantly reduced to fish on the chopping board of the Eastern Army.

Before the enemy headquarters could react, the army from the Eastern Territory drove straight in, counting cities in a row.

During this period, a battle report was sent back to Mirror City as quickly as possible.

At that time, Guo Jia, who was deducing the battle situation in the main hall, couldn't help but let out an admiration...

"Your Majesty's method this time is really bold, and I admire you."

Hearing this, Luo Ji looked at the huge map in front of him and waved his hands casually.

His move is not so much bold as it is risky.

Turning his gaze away from the battle report sent back, Luo Ji lightly slapped the pawn representing the army of the Eastern Territory, and landed on Robert Smith's Eastern Territory territory.

"I can't do anything about it. The three of them beat me one, and they won't be able to beat them. Moreover, these two guys in the north have assembled an army of 10,000+ outside the Beishan Fortress. The battle is there. The troops stationed in the rear must be affected, and such an opportunity is in front of me, if I don't do something, I feel sorry for myself."

Obviously, Luo Ji had been planning this plan for a long time.

Among the three enemy Europa players, Charlie Klumber and Robert Smith's territory map, he has.

In addition to his own map of the Myriad Worlds civilization, in other words, he holds almost three-quarters of the map of the entire battlefield.

In order to connect the territories of all players, the system will also generate some neutral areas, but the area will never be too large. Under this premise, Luo Ji, who holds three maps in his hand, only needs a little deduction, and he will soon be able to Simulate a whole map of total war in close proximity.

Afterwards, by gathering military resources and quickly determining two attack routes, coupled with the aerial vision and reconnaissance efficiency of the elf druids, a grand plan that had been in preparation for several years was launched.

He spent a lot of effort in this wave, fighting steadily, and built three camps for hoarding resources on each of these two routes.

Here, I have to mention another benefit of this battlefield.

As I said before, there are no resource points or indigenous forces on this battlefield.

So, apart from the enemy players, no other forces will attack you, which makes Luo Ji's field camp extraordinarily comfortable, and it doesn't matter if it is even a little rudimentary, because basically nothing will happen.

The six resource camps on the two routes provided sufficient resources for the army in the west and the army in the east, and this is how the current scene came to be.

"Lu Yang, what is the grain output for this autumn harvest?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it has been another bumper year."

While speaking, Lu Yang, an assistant officer, quickly delivered a report to Luo Ji.

After opening the report, Luo Ji glanced at it twice, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

If compared to the hoarding of ammunition and firearms, he might not be able to compare to either Charlie Klumber or Robert Smith, but he is extremely confident in this food production alone.

After all, his Myriad Worlds civilization is a real grain-producing country.

Even if you don't talk about the effect of the Kyushu Ding's grain harvest, just talk about his three-star natural wonder, the colorful terraced fields, which can already provide him with a large amount of food every year.

And this natural wonder, the effect of a man-made wonder is superimposed, and it is even more explosive.

Every year during the autumn harvest, the food warehouses explode. Within civilization, the price of food is even cheaper. There are too many of them, and they cannot be sold out.

Now that there are a few more camps in the wild to store food, it has helped to reduce the burden on his domestic granaries.

Chapter 1348, Cold Current

"The next move should be here!"

On the huge map, a chess piece fell again. At this moment, Luo Ji was gradually grasping the entire battle situation into his hands.

Then, the season quietly entered winter...

For many of Robert Smith's people, this winter was basically a nightmare.

The harvest this autumn has been so poor that it has resulted in an astonishing drop in food prices at all.

The imperial military is expropriating grain on a large scale. At the same time, big businessmen who are aware of the sense of crisis, and some wealthy families have also started to buy grain in large quantities, just to avoid the possible famine that may erupt in the future.

However, it is ridiculous that their approach has greatly contributed to the outbreak of famine.

The food in the empire was purchased in large quantities, resulting in less and less food on the market.

In the second month after the beginning of winter, grain shops in various cities simply closed their doors.

The civilians who had nowhere to buy food and no money to buy food became the first victims of the famine.

And by the time Robert Smith rushed back to his empire in a transport vehicle as fast as possible, the situation couldn't have been worse.

The northern border fell, and famines, large or small, had already begun to break out in cities large and small within the empire.

Facing the threat of death, some hungry refugees even turned into thugs, attacked grain shops, and even rushed into other people's homes to snatch food.

In just two short months of winter, no less than fifty similar incidents have already occurred.

Looking at the report in front of him, Robert Smith's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water.

He could not accuse his ministers of buying food in large quantities, because it was an important material to ensure the combat power of their imperial army.

During the war, the army was short of food?That's not far from death.

So even if others were in the empire at that time, I am afraid they would have made the same decision.

What was beyond his expectation was something earlier.

Robert Smith never expected that the cold current from the northern border of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds would have such a huge impact on the farming of their empire.

In the first year of the all-out war, no one paid much attention to the change in the harvest of this crop.

After all, crops, according to the climate and environment, have good harvests in some years and poor harvests in some years.

But at that time, no one thought that the root cause of the poor harvest was the bitter cold.

Over the past few years, that cold current can be said to have spread towards them bit by bit, and the impact on their empire has naturally become greater and greater.

It is precisely because of this that the harvest is getting worse year by year.

Some crops, the yield has declined, which is still good, and there are many other crops that simply froze to death...

In comparison, Raymond Southey's orc civilization is in a much better situation than Robert Smith's civilization.

The fundamental reason is that the orcs themselves are not good at farming.

But Raymond Southey is a player after all, no matter how bad he is, he can produce some crops.

Therefore, when choosing crops, Raymond Southey often chooses those crops that are easy to grow, have high yields, are tenacious, and can grow even in harsh environments.

This approach led to a very single type of crops in the orc civilization, but it also succeeded in feeding these non-picky eaters.

Under this premise, the impact of the bitter cold climate on the crops of the orc civilization is almost negligible at present. The special situation of their own civilization, on the contrary, allowed them to escape successfully by accident.

At this moment, Robert Smith's entire empire was shrouded in a lingering haze, and the outbreak of famine almost brought about a series of subsequent troubles.

Recently, a large number of hungry and cold people have taken to the streets to protest and march!

The bodies of refugees can often be found on street corners, alleys, and beside garbage dumps.

Within the empire, the entire current situation is in turmoil.

Paralyzed on his own throne, Robert Smith never imagined that at this stage, if he was not careful, he would fall into such a vicious circle!

The bigger the civilization, the more dangerous it is. If one step is wrong, it may collapse completely.

Following this momentum, he didn't know how many refugees his empire would starve to death this winter.

In the current situation, if he wants to stabilize the situation, the best way is to open a warehouse to distribute food and help refugees.

However, this food is equally important to his imperial army!

How much food is needed to make these refugees survive this winter?

In this way, after the winter is over, will the army of his empire still have food to fight?

He let out a long and heavy breath, and the irritability in his heart made Robert Smith's face extremely ugly.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, he slammed his fist on the table, and then announced several names to the soldiers beside him.

Each of those names is a well-known big merchant in his empire. Before the famine completely broke out, the price of food and goods soared, and these guys must be driving up prices.

At the same time, Robert Smith was even more convinced that these guys definitely had an astonishing amount of food in their hands.

It's just that, in the past, these big merchants have been driving the economy and trade of his empire, and at the same time, the annual tax payment has also satisfied him, so Robert Smith has always turned a blind eye to them. .

But now, the situation is special. If they want to overcome this difficulty, they must 'borrow' enough food from them. I hope this group of guys will know each other well.

Not long after the soldiers left, they ran back soon.

This situation made Robert Smith frown.

"what happened?"

"Report to the Great Emperor, the people you want to invite have already arrived."

Robert Smith was stunned when he heard this, and then his brows quickly stretched.

These merchants are old and cunning. After knowing that he came back and faced with this situation, he would definitely take them under his knife, so he took the initiative to send them to his door without waiting for him to call someone.

Facing this self-awareness, on the contrary, it made him a little bit uncomfortable before he was ruthless.

He directly ordered someone to prepare a rich dinner table, then shook the red wine glass in his hand, and accepted the food offered by several big merchants.

At the same time, he obviously had to say something.

These big merchants are already rich enough, so Robert Smith naturally knows what they want.

According to the amount of food he contributed, he conferred the titles of 'Jazz' and 'Baron' on these big merchants respectively.

For merchants who have made enough money, what they want now is reputation and status, and in the empire, the title of nobility is the best synonym for reputation and status!

1349 Chapter [-]

Stimulated by the title of nobility, the amount of food these merchants finally provided was surprisingly high.

Obviously, it is impossible for all these grains to come from this year.

After Robert Smith sent someone to check, he quickly found a lot of old grain, and he had been hoarding it for a year or two at least.
