The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

This made him have to sigh at the keen sense of smell of those merchants.

It is estimated that as early as one or two years ago, when they realized that the grain production had begun to decline, those merchants had already slowly started hoarding grain.

At that time, if a famine breaks out, they will undoubtedly be able to make a fortune by taking advantage of the rise in food prices.

And even if there is no famine, it doesn't matter, the big deal is to sell the old grain at a cheaper price in the end, and you won't lose much money in total, but if you hit it, it will be a big profit!

But what no one expected was that this wave was more profitable than they expected.

After all, before this, who of them could have imagined that such a large and powerful empire would break out of national disaster at this moment?

Normally, no matter how much money they spend, they can't buy titles, but now is their chance!

As long as they can successfully obtain a knighthood, or even the title of baron, let alone donating food, even if it is a sum of money, they will be happy!

As I said before, they are no longer short of money, what they want now is status!

As they wished, the big merchants who successfully obtained the titles all smiled happily and said that they were under the name of the Chamber of Commerce, and the granaries in each city could be whatever the empire wanted.

In this regard, Robert Smith will naturally not be polite to them.

Quickly issued orders and issued announcements, set up disaster relief sites in various cities, and began to distribute food and relieve refugees.

This approach can be said to be the most direct way to stabilize the internal situation of the empire.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

After ordering people to figure out the root cause of the decline in grain production in the past few years, Robert Smith decisively ordered that all the frozen crops be removed, and in the spring of next year, the direct planting in those fields will have a more stable yield and can adapt to the harsh growing environment crops.

In the current situation, he no longer requires the type of crops, the important thing is the yield!

As long as the output can be stabilized, he can survive this wave!

At the same time, compared to Robert Smith, who was busy stabilizing the internal situation and didn't even have time to manage the war in the East, the orc civilization was a different scene...

Thanks to the food provided by Robert Smith for his army of orcs, coupled with the food output of its own orc civilization, it has basically not been negatively affected by the climate. In recent years, the orc civilization has unexpectedly had some food reserves.

Under this premise, Raymond Southey, who rushed all the way back to his territory in a hurry, after confirming the situation in the western region, immediately assembled a large army aggressively, preparing to destroy the enemy who invaded his territory.

During this period, the orc civilization in the western region, the severe cold in winter did not cool down the war, and the sound of intensive shelling guns continued to echo on the battlefield in the western region.

In the hands of each dwarf soldier, the eight-barreled Yanlong cannon roared crazily, with berserk firepower, slaughtering the enemies in front of them in a strafing gesture.

Blood splattered and wailed all over the field, but the collapse of a large number of orc soldiers in the front row did not stop this orc army that had completely fallen into a state of madness.

Accompanied by a low growl full of savagery, and with heavy steps, a group of tauren infantry dressed in armored armor appeared on the battlefield.

The appearance of this army undoubtedly hindered the unstoppable western army.

Although the firepower of the eight-barreled Yanlong cannon is powerful, it is still a hand-held weapon. It is obviously impossible to reach the level of destructive power of cannons and armor-piercing bullets.

In this way, the situation on this side of the battlefield can be imagined.

The bullets fired in the past were continuously bounced by the outer armor of the iron armored beast. The appearance of this tauren infantry can be said to have instantly propped up the front line of defense of the orc army, and they continued to approach the Western Territory Legion under the firepower all the way. come over.

At this moment, the distance between the two parties can be said to be getting closer and closer.

In this regard, the dwarven soldiers holding the eight-barreled Yanlong cannon did not feel afraid, and the entire army had no plans to retreat.

Seeing an opportunity, Du Yuanzhi made a move, and the signal flare was sent out quickly. Another trump card of the army in the western region was officially revealed at this moment.

The heavy steps trampled on the ground, causing a series of dense muffled sounds. Among the formations of the Western Territory Army, figures like steel monsters charged into the battlefield forcefully.

Attack against attack, both sides are not vague. Under the protection of the armored beast armor, the enemy's tauren infantry can be said to have shown extraordinary bravery. In the blink of an eye, the battle between the two sides The distance has been shortened to within a hundred meters.

The orc army in a state of berserk advanced frantically, but the newly entered army spread out its formation unhurriedly, and then raised the weapon in its hand.

Then, seeing the moment when the enemy orc soldier entered his range, he pulled the trigger at the same time.

In the next second, there was only a muffled 'boom', and ferocious fire snakes spewed out amid the roaring sound like ferocious beasts coming out of the cage from the long metal barrel!

At this moment, it was the wild boar arsonists who appeared on the battlefield in the western region!

The horrible high temperature erosion, no matter how hard your armor is, the special military fuel can be said to be almost pervasive, and any small gap can easily spread into it.

The rifle in his hand was scrapped on the spot, and the nearly 40-meter-long ferocious fire snake instantly engulfed the group of tauren infantry who were rushing to the front.

It is no exaggeration to say that the wild boar arsonist is definitely the most terrifying of the several special units that Luo Ji has tossed out in recent years!

As soon as it came out, it gave the enemy orc army a hellish experience.

The enemy orc soldiers, who were facing the hail of bullets one moment ago, rushed forward with a fearless attitude, and at the next moment, in front of the terrifying flamethrowers, they turned into cokes one after another. .

If the advantage of the Eastern Legion lies in the powerful mobility and flexible offensive style of the cavalry army, then the advantage of the Western Legion is undoubtedly the unreasonable and ferocious firepower!

There is no need to say more about how terrifying the accumulated firepower is from the regular five-stage assault rifle phalanx, the unique eight-barreled flame dragon cannon unique to the dwarves, and the explosive output of these wild boar arsonists!

Chapter 1350, Promoting the Battle Situation

The addition of the wild boar arsonist sealed the victory for this battle and quickly drew the curtain down.

As night fell, the Western Territory army was located in the temporary stronghold of the orc city. John Sal, Guo Zhen, and Du Yuanzhi were discussing the next arrangement.

At this moment, an elf druid in the form of a giant eagle quickly flew into the camp and brought them the latest order from the rear headquarters.

"The army of orcs pressing outside the Beishan Fortress seems to have withdrawn to the orc territory."

Du Yuanzhi, who finished reading the content, had a serious expression on his face.

Behemoth units of the orc race are difficult for any army.

Although there are armor-piercing shells and anti-aircraft guns coming up from the rear, if possible, Du Yuanzhi obviously does not want to fight against the enemy's giant beast units, let alone the air combat units on the opposite side. Casualties are definitely not small.

"Let's retreat for now."

Du Yuanzhi, who said these five words, didn't have too many entanglements on his face. John Sal and Guo Zhen also expressed their agreement.

After a night's rest, the army in the western region directly evacuated early the next morning.

The orc city located in the desert of the western border, for them, there is really nothing worth nostalgic for.

After all, what is their fundamental purpose?

It is to dissuade the Europa United Army that is pressing outside the Beishan Fortress!

The Grand Canyon of Beishan Fortress is a natural and dangerous place. The special geographical environment makes it difficult for the enemy to attack. The army is hard to beat.

Therefore, if the northern border wants to launch a counterattack, it is necessary to persuade the opponent to retreat first.

Only when this fundamental purpose is achieved can it be the turn of the two incidental purposes of plundering resources and suppressing the enemy's rear forces.

So far, their mission has been completed quite smoothly.

It is a good strategy to retreat for the time being and wait for reinforcements from the rear to come up. As for fighting head-on with the orc army with giant beast units, that is the worst strategy!

The army in the western region withdrew quickly. There were three resource camps behind them, which were used to transport supplies and support their frontline battles. Of course, they could also be stationed temporarily.

At the same time, these three camps obviously couldn't be put on the bright side. They all deviated from the main road and chose suitable and hidden locations, which can be regarded as leaving a way for the western army.

With the army, Raymond Suoxi rushed to the western region aggressively. As early as more than half a month ago, he had already completed the evacuation of the western region army, leaving him a messy and dilapidated city.

In this wave, the loss of his orc civilization and the loss of troops made Raymond Sothy furious on the spot, and then he ordered the Hawkman troops as his own tribe, and the hyena and wolf man troops under his command to launch a large-scale hunt. Even if they dig three feet into the ground, they will find out the army of the western region.

And here, by the way, it is worth mentioning that when the system spliced ​​the map of the western region, it filled in many neutral areas. The whole area is not big or small. The most troublesome thing is Without clear markers, it is easy to get lost.

Under this premise, it is definitely not an easy task for Raymond Sosie, who does not have enough map information to indicate the approximate location, to find out the army of the Western Territory hidden in the desert.

The elf druids connected the important intelligence network of the civilization of the ten thousand worlds, and the frontline news from the troops of all parties was continuously sent back to the mirror city.

The chess pieces placed on the map moved one by one.

Compared with the army of the western border, which had achieved their goal but had little harvest, the army of the eastern border had looted a lot of good things.

The transport trucks were full of supplies and sent to the front line. When they returned, they brought batches of prisoners of war with them.

Unlike the civilians in the city, these Europa soldiers would only get in the way if they stayed on the front line after being captured. Escorting them back to the civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms, and then throwing them into the mining field or logging field to serve as coolies is a more appropriate way to deal with them.

Of course, Luo Ji greatly welcomed this. The food in his Myriad Worlds civilization was enough to support a larger population. At the same time, various developments within the civilization made him even more eager to obtain more cheap labor. , this batch of prisoners of war came just in time.

At the same time, it is necessary to say a little bit about the fact that the enemy cities captured by the army of the Eastern Territory had already fallen before the winter, so in this wave, the food in these cities , unexpectedly saved a large part.

Because it was a special situation at that time, Liu Meng also used some special means to gather all the food resources in the city with a direct order, and then they would distribute them uniformly.

This method has two advantages. The first advantage is that it completely avoids the situation of uneven access to food due to financial problems, and can save the lives of every civilian to the greatest extent.

And the second advantage is that holding the food resources is equivalent to grasping the lifeline of the civilians, and can firmly control those civilians.

"Guo Jia, what do you think is the next step?"

Today's Myriad Realms civilization is fighting on multiple fronts, making the entire battlefield even more chaotic.

However, even if it is a multi-line war, there is obviously a distinction between primary and secondary. The promotion of the battle situation and the distribution of support lines naturally need to be properly arranged.

Facing Luo Ji's question, Guo Jia lightly moved the two chess pieces on the map after pondering for a while.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of this?"

In this regard, Luo Ji, who was overlooking the entire battle situation through the map, couldn't help laughing 'haha'.

"Okay, just do it!"

The movement of the chess pieces promotes the entire battle situation.

On the northern battlefield, the withdrawal of the Europa Allied Forces allowed the civilization of Myriad Worlds to easily regain the lost ground in the north, that is, Winter City and Winter Fortress.

However, Raymond Southey and Robert Smith, who chose to evacuate at the time, obviously did not intend to return the two lost territories to him in full.

The interior of Winter City and Winter Fortress were undoubtedly ravaged by giant beasts, and they were almost turned into ruins.

According to the later report of the members of the construction engineering department, it will take several years to rebuild it, at least to say the least.

In this way, considering the situation in all aspects, it is obvious that the tens of thousands of people in the northern tribes cannot go back for the time being, and can only continue to be resettled in Beishan City and Baihe City.

And Winter City and Winter Fortress are now temporarily taken over by the Northern Legion under Hill's command.

A large amount of supplies were continuously sent towards the north, and a whole supply line was quickly confirmed.

After finishing all the preparations, the [-] Northern Army stationed in the Cold Winter Fortress launched the largest Northern Expedition in the history of the Ten Thousand Realms civilization so far!

Chapter 1351, Entering the Battlefield

Now let the time continue to flow, winter to spring, to survive this worst winter for him, at this time Robert Smith's mood is not at all relaxed.

Never in the past few decades has he felt such an urgency for time to go faster.

According to what he left behind in the request for help, after a while, the other silver players in the Eye of God should be ready to provide follow-up support to them.

But before that, new variables had already ushered in the southern battlefield.

Charlie Klumber, whose sea power has been ruthlessly crushed, has basically lost control of his sea vision.

The fleet led by Yuan Xi directly broke into the battlefield of Manning City along the Grand Canal that traversed the northern part of the empire!

Led by the main flagship Changjiang, the main guns of the four battleships quickly locked on the position of the Europa army on the opposite bank, and the powerful artillery firepower swept across it directly, launching a ruthless attack.

The Europa position that was attacked by the fleet was in chaos, and as the leader of this side, Kazpassi had an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Damn, how did this fleet rush in?!"

Although Charlie Klumber has basically lost control of his sea vision, it is no secret that the enemy has a sea fleet.

And this Grand Canal has a channel that connects to the sea, leading all the way to the coastal cities of their empire, and is an important maritime trade route connecting the northern and southern cities of the empire. Kazpasy knows this matter better than anyone else.

Therefore, long ago, he had laid a large number of mines in an area of ​​the Grand Canal, just to prevent the enemy's sea fleet from intervening in this battlefield.

Under this premise, the Yangtze River Fleet rushed in unharmed, which made him feel like hell.

There was no time to continue to dwell on this issue, the facts were right in front of his eyes at this moment, he couldn't help but not believe it.

The appearance of the Yangtze River Fleet can be said to have opened up the situation for the southern army in one go.

Amidst the roar, Zhou Yi directly signaled the artillery unit to launch fire suppression towards the opposite bank.

As the air force, the Swift Eagle Rider and the Giant Eagle Knight fought with the enemy's Winged Forces on the spot.

Waving the holy sword in his hand, after blocking the sudden attack, Shalier's golden pupils turned slightly cold, and the guy in front of him who was so obstructive to the eyes made him upset no matter how he looked at it.

That's right, at this moment, what appeared in front of his eyes was Kargan who had returned to the front line after recovering from injury!

The previous defeat did not make him back down, and now facing Shalier, who was flapping six wings, Kargan's offensive is still fierce.

Regarding this, Shalier did not dare to be careless in his heart. While waving the holy sword, while applying blessing and divine protection to himself, he directly entered the 'judgment' mode.

During the period of stalemate between the two armies, he spent most of his time in prayer, thus accumulating the power of faith in his body.
