Chapter 534 Temporary retreat(1/2)
Shortly after the guard left, he ran back soon.
Seeing this, Arken Jinge couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong?"
"Emperor, those people have come."
Hearing this, Arken Jinge was stunned at first, and then he realized it.
None of those big merchants can make their business so big is a fool.
I knew that after the Emperor came back, he would inevitably attack them in the face of such a thing, so I didn’t have to call him at all, so I came to my door.
These guys are so self-conscious that Arken Jinge is a little difficult to take ruthlessly.
The merchants who took the initiative to deliver the food were very conscious and directly presented a large amount of food.
Arken Jinge also needs to express this.
Otherwise, if such a thing happens again in the future, no one will be willing to come to the door.
Arken Jinge also knew what these people needed.
These people are rich enough, so what they need is a title.
According to the amount of grain contributed by these merchants, he granted different titles respectively.
For merchants who have made enough money, what they want now is reputation and status, and in the empire, aristocratic title is the best synonym for reputation and status.
Stimulated by the noble title, many merchants have contributed a large amount of food.
Of course, these grains cannot be all this year. Some old grains were even hoarded several years ago in the second year of his full-scale war.
Here, Arken Jinge also had to remember the keen sense of smell of these merchants.
These businessmen were all smiling happily.
From the time they noticed that the grain production in the empire was reduced, they began to store grain.
At that time, if a famine breaks out, they can take the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Even if there is no famine at that time, it doesn’t matter. At worst, you can sell the old grains cheaply and you won’t lose too much money.
But once you win the bet, it will be a big profit!
As it turns out, they are simply making money.
However, this is because no one expected that this huge empire at its peak would have a national disaster so suddenly.
On weekdays, they can’t buy the title, no matter how much money they spend, and now the opportunity is here!
As long as they can successfully obtain a jazz or even a baron, not to mention contributing the food, they will be happy even if they pay another sum of money in it!
As mentioned before, they are no longer short of money, and now they want status!
As I wished, the big merchants who successfully obtained the title all smiled and said that the granaries of the cities under their chamber of commerce could be allowed to be obtained by the empire.
Of course, Arken Jingo would not be polite to them.
He quickly issued an order and issued an announcement to build disaster relief sites in various cities to start distributing food and relief to refugees.
This approach can be said to have quickly stabilized the situation within the empire.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
After ordering people to figure out the fundamental reason for the decline in grain production in recent years, Arken Jinge made a quick decision and ordered all frozen crops to be removed.
By the beginning of next spring, crops with more stable yields in those fields can adapt to harsh growth environments.
In the current situation, he no longer requires the types of crops, the important thing is the yield!
As long as the output can be stabilized, he can survive it!
On the other side.
Compared with the orc civilization of Arken Jinge and Viron Gael, who are busy stabilizing the internal situation and are not even at the time to take care of the eastern border war, this is a different scene.
Thanks to the food provided by Arken Jinge to his orc army before, and the food output of his orc civilization has basically not been negatively affected by the climate, the orc civilization has rarely had some stored food in recent years.
Under this premise, Viron Gael, who rushed back to his territory in a hurry, immediately assembled a large army in a fierce manner after confirming the war situation in the Western Region, prepared to wipe out the enemy that invaded his territory.
During this period, the western border of orc civilization, the severe cold in winter did not cool down the war, and the dense sound of shelling and gunshots continued to echo on the battlefield in this western border.
In the hands of the dwarf soldiers, Green's heavy artillery roared wildly, and his violent firepower slaughtered the enemy in front of him. However, the fall of a large number of beast soldiers in the front row failed to stop this orc army that had completely fallen into a state of madness.
Accompanied by a wild low roar, a tauren infantry dressed in the outer armor of the giant rhino beast appeared on the battlefield with heavy steps.
The emergence of this force directly hindered the originally unstoppable army of the Daxia Western Theater Command.
Although the firepower of Green's heavy artillery is strong, it is not a cannon after all, and it is impossible to achieve the destructive power of armor-piercing bombs.
In this way, an unacceptable scene appeared on the battlefield, and the bullets that were uninterruptedly were shot by the giant rhino beast's outer armor.
It can be said that the emergence of this Taurus infantry instantly supported the front line of the orc army.
They were just pursuing firepower and constantly approaching the army of Daxia.
Looking at the enemy troops who were constantly getting closer, the dwarf soldiers holding Green's heavy artillery did not feel afraid, and the entire army had no intention of retreating at all.
Suo Chao waved his hand, and with the issuance of a signal flare, a trump card was lifted.
The wild boars and musketeers wore solid armor and appeared on the battlefield in heavy steps.
The Taurus infantry with the outer armor of the giant rhino beast as armor did not care at all and still launched a charge on their own.
In a blink of an eye, the distance between the two teams was within a hundred meters.
The orc army was advancing wildly in a state of madness, but the newly entered wild boar man musket soldiers slowly spread out the formation and then raised the weapon in their hands.
After seeing the enemy's beast soldiers enter their range, they pressed the switch together.
boom!!!
Only a muffled sound was heard, and ferocious fire snakes gushed out from the long metal barrel.
Then, he saw the moment the enemy beast soldiers entered their range and pulled the trigger at the same time.
The terrifying high temperature erosion, but no matter how strong the enemy's armor is, the special military fuel can almost be said to be omnipresent, and any small gap can easily spread in.
The rifle in his hand was scrapped on the spot, and the hideous fire snake nearly forty meters long instantly completely swallowed up the group of tauren infantry who rushed in front.
It is no exaggeration to say that the wild boar man musket soldiers are definitely the most terrifying of the special troops that Xia Qi has troubled in recent years!
As soon as he appeared, he gave the enemy army of orcs a hellish experience.
The enemy beast soldiers who were fighting with guns and bullets a moment ago turned into cokes in front of the terrifying flamethrowers.
If the advantage of the Eastern Legion of Daxia lies in the powerful power and flexible and changeable offensive style of the cavalry army, then the advantage of the Western Legion of Daxia lies in the almost unreasonable fierce firepower.
The conventional five-stage rifle phalanx, the Grim heavy artillery unique to the dwarves, and the explosive output of these wild boar musketeers, can be imagined how terrifying the accumulated firepower is!
The addition of the wild boar man musketeers directly accelerated the process of this war.
It's night.
The Western Legion of the Great Xia is located in the temporary stronghold of the Orc City. Romanov, Zhu Xiong and Sochao are discussing the next arrangement.
At this moment, a elves Druid, who turned into a giant eagle, flew quickly into the camp and brought them the latest orders from the rear command.
"The orc army outside Lulongshe has withdrawn from orc territory."
After reading the content of the letter, everyone's faces showed a solemn expression.
The orcs' behemoth units are difficult to do for any army.
Although there are armor-piercing bombs and anti-aircraft guns transported from the rear, if possible, they really don't want to fight against enemy monster units and air units.
Because once the fight broke out, the casualties on one side would definitely not be small.
"Let's retreat for the time being."
It was Suo Chao who said this, and his face was not entangled, and Romanov and Zhuo Xiong also agreed.
After a night of rest, the western legion of Daxia took the initiative to evacuate early the next morning.
For them, there is nothing worth nostalgic about this orc city located in the desert.
After all, their fundamental purpose is to persuade the Nordic Joint Army outside Lulongsai to retreat!
The Grand Canyon in Lulongsai is a natural dangerous place, and the special geographical environment makes it difficult for the enemy to attack.
But in contrast, if the enemy army has been pressing outside, the narrow import and export will make it difficult for the Daxia army to fight out.
Therefore, if the northern border wants to launch a counterattack, it is necessary to persuade the other party to retreat first.
Only when this fundamental goal is achieved can it be the two follow-up purposes of looting resources and suppressing the troops in the rear of the enemy country.
As of now, their mission has been completed quite smoothly.
Next, 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 western legion of Daxia retreated simply. There were three resource camps behind them to transport supplies and support their front-line battles, and they could be temporarily stationed.
In addition, these three camps were not on the surface, they all deviated from the main road and chose a suitable and hidden position, which could be regarded as leaving a way out for the Western Legion.
