Facing the monsters attacking in the wasteland, teams of swords and shield soldiers were heading in front. After the monsters approached, there were 500 musketeers in the back and took turns shooting. The tribes of the monsters did not have the same number as those of the demon ants. Often, the two thousand dwarf musketeers had already fallen to the ground before the musketeers were finished shooting.
The next thing is to finish the knife, cut meat, and pickle monster meat. This time, the troops were sent to strangle monsters to train troops. There were too many new recruits in the Marquis of Raphael, and most of them had too few veterans who had experienced fierce battles. Moreover, these veterans also had to take into account the security of the two territories, Red Tu City and Red Mountain Fortress.
"The smoke is a little bigger." This is Link's comment on the dwarf musket volley. If it is at the upper vent or better, if it is at the lower vent, the dwarf musket will suffer after it is fired.
The monsters that are being fought now are almost scared by the demon ant wave. Most monsters have stronger individual combat power than demon ants. But this is useless. Even if there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of demon beast tribes, they will encounter demon ants that are crowded with dense crowds, and they are not afraid of death, even if they only have one breath left. The so-called monsters still have a fear instinct.
Now, this wave of demon ants really makes the monsters feel scared. What’s more important is that except for the giant dragon, the monsters do not play with fire, which is also the reason why the dragon is called a super monster.
What demon ants fear most is fire. If the killed demon ants do not burn them with fire, they will soon become food for demon ants, which makes the monsters particularly frightened. The monsters will only eat the dead tribe when they are hungry, and the demon ants simply eat the dead tribe as spicy strips. Even the injured demon ants in the battle will be eaten after the war. The demon ants do not need the tribe who cannot fight.
Now, the monsters in or near the Murphy Kingdom were desperate to escape the scope of the Demon Ant Tide. Their migration route happened to be between the Baishan Fortress and the Red Earth City. This was a wasteland before, so it didn't matter.
But now, the Marquis of Link Raphael built two towns here, as well as hundreds of new immigrant villages surrounding the two towns. How could Link destroy so many villages and towns from the migration of Warcraft?
Although there is no grass left on the migration path of the monsters, people and domestic animals cannot survive. Most of the monsters are carnivorous or omnivorous animals. For monsters, ordinary single humans are the weakest monsters.
In theory, high grain prices are a good thing for the territory of the Marquis of Raphael, which is mainly agriculture, so as not to hurt farmers. However, there is actually not much surplus grain to sell in rural areas. The surplus grain that should be sold was almost sold before the New Year. Even if there is excess ration, who knows how much the harvest will be this year? Farming is originally a matter of relying on God's reward for food. God is unhappy that there will be a heavy hail and heavy rain in summer, and the harvest will be over this year.
In addition, the war between the Demon Ant Tide has already reached some borders of the Holy Empire and the Shenglong Empire, and the two empires have also begun to hoard military rations. After the autumn harvest last year, the price of the two empires did not drop significantly.
The grain price in the Marquis of Raphael was just a little bit off the market, which was slightly more favorable than other places. However, long-distance transportation was not much profit.
In March this spring, at the time of the highest food prices, the price of the Marquis of Raphael's territory also increased by about 50% compared to before the war.
This is also the result of Link's deliberate control. If the local grain prices are too low, people will purchase a large amount of grain here to transport it away.
If the grain price is too low, it will cause low grain to hurt farmers. Such high grain prices will still be beneficial to farmers.
Regarding the city people, Lord Lafi told them that they could choose to eat more meat.
Since the arrival of the Warcraft Tide, Link has sent troops to three groups to sweep away the Warcraft Tide that entered the territory. The medium and low-level Warcraft meat has continuously entered the markets of various towns at the market price before the war.
Citizens and townspeople naturally choose to eat meat when they are low and the noodle price is high.
The troops are mainly engaged in dwarf muskets. One person is carrying dozens of shot drugs and lead bullets on his body. He has to be replenished for a long time when fighting.
Transportation teams continuously transported salt to three armies. When they fired medicine and lead bullets, they brought the pickled medium and low-level monster meat back to various places for sale.
The tide of monsters lasted for half a year. In the past six months, most citizens ate meat until they were full. Until this year's autumn grain came, the price of grain was suppressed by 20%.
For citizens, in the past two years, there have been more opportunities to make money in the Marquis of Raphael. Even if you don’t want to live in the city, you can still apply for a piece of land, which is good to farm in the countryside. The taxes here are low, and farming also have good returns.
The human army, dominated by the two empires, still fought against the demon ants every day and stabilized the defense line. There were very few soldiers killed in the four major barracks every day, but more than a thousand people were injured every day, and the cause of the injury was mostly acid burns.
The life of mages everywhere has been much better. The magic healing potions that were backlogged in the past are now in the number of cars, and a car is driving into the logistics department of the four major military camps. There is no good way to treat severe acid burns. It is nothing more than a bottle of magic healing potions, half applied externally and half taken internally. In three or five days, you can jump around.
Not only was Link taking the opportunity to train troops, but the two empires were also training troops. Over time, peace was not a good thing for the army. This invasion of the demon ant tide allowed a large number of troops of the two empires to be tempered in actual combat - many soldiers and generals were on the battlefield for the first time.
As for the tide of warcraft sweeping the continent, it is unlikely that as time comes, the fall of 996, the number of demon ants did not increase geometrically after more and more natural channels appeared on the continent.
As the natural passage expands, there are more magic ants and more in and out faster, but the total number still appears in tens of millions of magic ants that appear in natural passages every day, millions of them will fall near the four major military camps.
As residents and monsters from all over the country moved away from nearby natural passages, if the demon ants wanted to get enough food, they had to go further and hunt further.
The armies of the two empires are not only defending the barracks, but also cavalry, some flying holy lands, even legendary strong men and even magic soldiers can still go out to fight mobile operations. Kill teams of demon ants that are too late to go back and burn them.
This caused the devil ants to suffer greater and greater losses. However, in addition to the large number of demon ants, the weakness of the single army is also obvious. Not to mention the small number of flying demon ants, even if the flying demon ants come, they are not the opponents of those holy lands and magic soldiers that can fly.
After clearing the tide of monsters in the territory at the Marquis of Raphael's mansion, Link and his two wives returned to the Red Turkish City.
As for the old neighbor Duke Gatuso, he was still fighting with the demon ants on the front line. For Duke Gatuso, there was no problem of being able to hold on or not. Once the demon ants tide entered the territory, towns, villages, and mines would become ruins.
