When blood and killing began to gradually cover the Kingdom of Belrama, the neighboring Kingdom of Saxony was close to the military fortress of Belika Fortress in the Mist Forest. The entire fortress had recently undergone a huge personnel change, and the general responsible for commanding the fortress Most of the soldiers were dispatched back to the royal capital, and a new group of soldiers and a general with the title of earl directly attached to the royal family took charge of all the work of the fortress again.
Early in the morning, soldiers were already busy carrying out a special task. Transport carriages covered with canvas were loaded with unidentified objects and were being escorted deep into the forest. On the contrary, more carriages were constantly coming out of the fog. Returning from the forest, the carriage was loaded with food, and the fortress warehouse had reached the limit of stacking. Even mountains of food were placed in the open area, and soldiers were covering the food piles with canvas.
The efficiency is too low┉┉
Prince Rost, who came to Belika Fortress from the royal capital in person to supervise, looked helplessly at the report in his hand. Belika Fortress is located in the most remote area of the Kingdom of Saxony, and transportation and road facilities leading to the royal capital have not yet been built. Very good. There are two reasons for this. One is that the Og people will only go south to plunder the Belika Fortress every summer and there are no enemies to guard against. The other is to prevent the Og people from capturing the Belika Fortress. Destroying the road as quickly as possible prevented the Og from advancing any further. However, now the simple muddy roads have become the biggest obstacle to transportation. There are no rivers on the frozen soil that can reach the royal capital directly, and the fierce wind speed in the far north is not suitable for transportation by airship.
It seems that depending on the future situation, the road construction between Belika Fortress and the Royal Capital should be gradually increased.
After Prince Rost put down the transportation status report in his hand, he picked up the document on the side, a report on the mutation of the Splittooth Wolf in the Mist Forest. Familiar that has increased ferocity, contains a strong water element, can be tamed into a magician, skin, flesh, internal organs, and bones can all become useful materials. Moreover, not only the Splittusk Wolf has discovered several mutated animals and plants in recent times, but now the wizards of the Royal Society are gradually analyzing the uses of these animals and plants.
Seeing this, Rost couldn't help but frowned. The mutation of animals and plants in the Mist Forest is definitely related to the ancient gods living in the Yanold Mountains. I just don't know if this is a good or bad thing. According to the report The number of mages from various regions of the mainland who have gone to Belika Town has increased a lot in recent times. Even mages from the Holy Capital in the western part of the continent have also come here. Not only mages, they can earn huge amounts by capturing mutant crack-tooth wolves and selling them. In order to benefit, some mercenaries and adventurer teams from the mainland also poured into Belika Town. The most troublesome thing is that the number of Splittusk wolves is not large after all, and the sudden over-hunting has caused frequent conflicts between the townspeople of Bellica Town and the mercenaries and adventurers.
Theoretically, when rare resources are discovered, the state should directly intervene to control the exploration and export of resources in order to gain maximum benefits. But judging from the current situation, the Mist Forest is no longer completely private property of the Kingdom of Saxony. The gods of the Yanold Mountains control most of the forest, and must be the manipulator behind this mutation. Without the permission of the gods, Without permission to privately possess this resource, Rost could not imagine what kind of disaster it would bring to the Kingdom of Saxony when the gods were angry.
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
In the city of Ulduar in the Yanold Mountains┉┉
The gods that Prince Rost was worried about are now busy dealing with it. After reaching the deal with the Kingdom of Saxony, the workload of the entire city of Ulduar has suddenly increased a lot. With the help of Aquarius Gold Saint Dieter, who passed the 'graduation' exam, a large part of the administrative work still fell on Yalin's head.
"The repair work on the overpass in District 6 will be temporarily suspended. Across the bridge is an armory that was emptied during the war. Even if the overpass is repaired now, there will be nothing to get inside."
"Yes! Lord Yalin!"
"The work in the lumberyard can be temporarily slowed down. The ratio of wood to material energy is too low. The wood currently stored is enough to sustain construction for a long time┉┉"
In terms of grain transactions with the Kingdom of Saxony, the entire city of Ulduar has a large amount of grain reserves, which is enough to complete the food transportation in the first quarter. However, Ulduar City is still seriously short of labor, and the cheapest frost goblins have really low labor efficiency. Unfortunately, although the mountain giant is powerful enough, its IQ is really hard to look at. The main source of labor in the entire Ulduar City is the frost and snow elves, followed by the tauren, and finally there are thirty dwarves.
Frost elves are not only very efficient in labor but also very smart. The best among them, such as high-level mages and frost prayers, can also serve as magic researchers and lecturers. To be honest, if it were not for the lack of manpower for food transportation, Yalin would really I can't bear to stop training and construction and let some Frost and Snow Elves work as porters. You must know that even the lowest-level Frost and Snow Elf civilians can become outstanding magicians and archers after a period of training.
Fortunately, finding the Soul Stone unlocked the minotaur summoning option. These big men with honest and powerful personalities formed the second important labor force in Ulduar City. The tauren are proficient in herbalism and blacksmithing, and are very familiar with magic. Not very good at knowledge and construction projects, these big men can be seen in blacksmiths, farms and some mines.
Coming to the open space, Yalin summoned a group of frost elves and tauren respectively, followed by some basic clothes. In terms of tools, the blacksmith hall in Ulduar City has begun to produce tools. This is enough to help Yalin. An additional expense.
With the assistance of the summoning system, Yalin can completely play the entire city of Ulduar as a construction strategy game, avoiding many problems and troubles that real rulers will encounter, but even so Yalin still feels that he is lucky. The bad point is the hell difficulty, and the novice protection period that is decreasing one by one every day is like a reminder, forcing Yalin to rack his brains and use the resources in his hands to desperately improve the strength of the entire city.
Perhaps in the eyes of the outside world, the Kingdom of Saxony, he was an ancient god who could use dragons as slaves. This was already a very terrifying power. But Yalin is very clear about the enemies he may face in the future. The Green Dragon Clan, who are the descendants of the five dragon gods who are their old enemies, the gods who are eyeing him in the Sky God Realm, and the endless demon army that comes from the deepest part of the Twisted Void and is born of killing and destruction. None of these are powerful enemies that have existed since ancient times. Even the Og barbarians we met recently are a big trouble. These extremely destructive barbaric races rush into the forest from time to time to plunder. On several occasions, they even Almost escaped into the habitat of high elves.
Ice shooter Ai Xi has recently led the guards to gradually clean up these Og people, but these troublesome saboteurs are like cockroaches and cannot be killed no matter how hard they are killed.
Fortunately, the appearance of the Lich King Arthas alleviated the situation. In a recent communication, Yalin learned that the undead army led by Arthas had reached the extreme northern wilderness. According to Yalin's instructions, Alsace slaughtered people along the way. Several Og barbarian tribes close to the Mist Forest were gathered. In addition to the physical attacking beast that was initially harvested, Arthas had four more violent beasts in his undead army, and several of the Og barbarians After receiving information about the invasion of the undead army, the large tribes aggressively assembled a large number of troops. The total number may be as many as six to seven million people, and the number of violent beasts has reached three digits. The Og barbarians seem to be preparing to rely on absolute numerical superiority. Completely crush Alsace's undead army.
Lich King Arthas' undead army has increased its number through massacre and transformation. So far, it has only been around 70,000 to 80,000. Although it is an undead army that does not need supplies and is not afraid of death, it is estimated that there are still some problems in the face of such a huge disparity in numbers. Too much to take.
After Yalin learned about this situation, he was also a little puzzled. He did not expect that the number of Og barbarians would still be so large after being driven to the extreme northern wilderness. These few assembled tribes may not be the entire military strength of the Og people. , judging from the fact that the Og barbarians can mobilize all the people, the Og barbarians in the entire wilderness may have as many as seven to eight million soldiers.
Didn't I accidentally stoke a hornet's nest this time? !
As an S-level potential Lich King Arthas is indeed powerful enough. The number of troops he gradually raised in a short period of time exceeded the population of the entire city of Ulduar several times, although most of them were cheap cannon fodder, such as skeletons. There are low-level undead creatures such as soldiers, various zombies and corpse beasts. Except for the dark warrior Sanlwald, there are no high-level undead creatures such as corpse witches, necromancers, abominations, ghosts, and death knights. Oh~ right! There are also five powerful beasts that can barely fill up the scene.
Give the dragon bones in the resting place to Arthas and let him transform into an undead dragon!
This idea flashed through Yalin's mind, but the pressure instantly negated the idea. He still did not allow himself to desecrate the bones of loyal soldiers. Let Alsace clean up the Og people firstly to prevent the Og people from forcibly going south to plunder and causing losses to the mines and lumberyards in the Mist Forest. Secondly, it is to secretly form an undead army to serve as an ambush, which may be possible in the future. will play an important role in the war that will occur.
However, the current situation may be that the Og barbarians were too aggressive for a while, which resulted in a huge backlash from the Og barbarians. This can only allow Alsace to slow down for the time being and find a way to preserve its strength. Although the Og barbarians have assembled a large army, But logistics is a huge problem. Just delaying the food supply alone will make these Og barbarians unable to bear it.
