The construction of the camp went unexpectedly smoothly. Since the road was built in Linton, materials and manpower have been continuously imported into the gold mine camp. Of course, the gold ore in the gold mine warehouse is also continuously flowing into the camp.
Transportation begins outside.
Originally, Garsain was more worried that the enemy might come to harass and cause trouble. However, the actual situation was that there seemed to be no movement from the Glint army on the other side.
Garsain didn't quite understand what was going on, but in fact the difficulty on the other side was greater than they imagined. After Grint's side was defeated, although the situation was temporarily stabilized, the losses of the troops were huge. There was nothing that could be done.
, they could only report to the main city and ask for support again.
After hearing the new battle report, King Covikla's eyes darkened. He really wanted to order the guy Materazzi to be beheaded on the spot. However, he was so angry that the problem now was not to kill him, but what to do.
.The gold mine cannot be given up and must be recaptured, so he can only agree to Grint's request for support.
However, there are not many troops under King Kovikla now. After all, they are just a small kingdom. Unlike the St. Willan Empire, which can easily raise tens of thousands of troops, they have just dispatched 2,000 troops. He can't tell the difference between them.
Oh, otherwise the main city will not be defended? If there are not enough soldiers left in the main city, he is worried that the underground rioters may overthrow him without the help of Gasan's people.
So King Kovikla also tried his best to gather an army of about 1,000 people, and according to Grint, he probably still has an army of less than 1,000 people, which can at least equal the number of the opponent's troops.
As for more, there is nothing King Kovikla can do.
In addition to the replacement of troops, what is more important is supplies. Yes, this time it was Glint's army's turn to be short of supplies. Most of their supplies were left at the gold mine base, and that base was robbed.
They didn't bring much supplies when they went to the rescue. They were rushing to rescue people. Now that they have encountered a supply problem, they can only transfer them from the main city.
King Kovikla gritted his teeth and moved some of the supplies, plus 1,000 support troops, to send to Glint, and ordered the other party to take back the gold mine. However, what no one expected was that this support
The troops were actually attacked halfway.
It was not Gasein's troops who attacked them, because Gasein had no time to take care of it and did not know the marching route of the enemy's support troops. This troop was originally worried that Gasein would attack them, so they deliberately chose a hidden path, but there was no
What came to mind was that they encountered a wave of refugees.
This wave of refugees was originally heading towards the main city of Disorn. Because there was no food, they didn't know where to go. They could only blindly walk towards the place where they thought there was food, and the main city was naturally the richest.
There would definitely be food there, so that was all they could think of. However, what they didn't expect was that they met this support force head-on.
The refugees' eyes lit up when they saw the carriage transporting the baggage. The carriage was definitely filled with food. Then of course riots broke out. What did you say? Army? Sorry, everyone is going to starve to death. Who cares who you are?
Who? I don’t know who shouted “grab”, and the whole scene instantly became chaotic.
In order to calm the situation, the leading officer directly killed several refugees, but it was of no use. The extremely hungry refugees surrounded them like zombies coming out of their cages. They did not fight the soldiers, but just pounced on them like crazy.
Go to the baggage train, grab whatever you can, and run away.
The whole scene was chaotic. Although the sergeant wanted to stop the refugees, the number was ten times different. The number of this group of refugees was close to 10,000, so it was impossible to stop them. In short, after an inexplicable bloody battle, the sergeant could only order the soldiers to lead
They fled the scene with as much supplies as they could carry. When they arrived at Glint to rendezvous, there were only more than 600 troops left, and there was absolutely no supplies left.
What else can Glint do? He can only send a letter to the main city for the third time to ask for supplies. King Kovikla is really going to vomit blood, but what can he do? Settlement with the refugees? Now the refugees
It would be good if he didn't rebel. Can he get rid of the gold mine? Of course not. So while vomiting blood, he could only raise new support.
So at present, Grint and the others are really unable to protect themselves, and they have no time to cause trouble for Gasein and the others. Compared with them, Gasein's work is really smooth. First of all, in terms of the troops, after having money, Gasein will
En's army quickly recruited another 3,000 people. There could have been more, but Gasan did not continue to expand and began to recruit mercenaries.
The people sent to contact the mercenaries quickly recruited 4 mercenary groups with about 1,500 mercenaries. They are now heading here and are expected to arrive one after another. By then, Gaseon's troops will expand to
A troop of 4,500 people is already a terrifying number.
As for the coolies and miners, progress is also going very smoothly. They have captured about 1,200 people nearby, and hundreds of people have been sent from all over the empire. Many more are on the way. In total, there are about 2,000 coolies in the base now.
Labor. Compared with the coolies sent from his own country, Gasan felt that the prisoners he captured were more obedient. It seemed that they didn't need to be watched. They would work by themselves as long as they were given food, and they were very conscious.
Everything seems to be going smoothly, except... I don’t know what Linton is doing here. Yes, the stronghold is being renovated from the original stronghold, and for some reason, Linton is leading the transformation work.
At first, Garsain thought there was nothing wrong with it, but then things started to get weird.
"What kind of official position is the battlefield honor exchanger?" Garsain couldn't help but ask. He asked Linton because Linton pulled a soldier and insisted that Gasain give him this position. Where did he get this official position? It was unheard of.
"I thought about it. In short, it is a stimulus policy. Isn't this a long-term confrontation? In addition to our own soldiers, there are other mercenaries in our army. They do not apply to the army's reward and punishment methods. They cannot
I was promoted, so I thought about it and invented something called honor points, which are calculated based on the enemy's heads. After reaching a certain point, you can exchange for some supplies and the like. Some people even have made a lot of meritorious services. We can directly
Wouldn't it be okay to recruit him into the army? (That is to exchange honor points for military rank)."
"That's it..." Gasein could understand. It was indeed a way to stimulate the mercenaries. "But isn't the name of this official position too strange?"
"No, no, no, as far as this official position is concerned, I think it's okay," Linton said.
"Okay, okay." Garsain waved his hand and signed the order. Linton also put a check mark in his small notebook.
I looked at the projects I recorded in my notebook. Most of them have been implemented. The next step is to wait for the completion of some buildings, and then I should be able to hand in the tasks. Although it is the first time to do a battlefield construction task, but now it seems
It's not that difficult, it's just that the requirements for forming a battlefield are relatively high.
The remaining buildings are expected to be built within a few days, and Linton has also begun to prepare for other tasks. Naturally, several tasks have been completed in the past two days, but Linton is not very satisfied with them. The first is one
Linton has done this task before and has experience in the construction of medium-sized cities, but he is not able to do it now because most of the manpower in the territory has been pulled to the battlefield. It would be troublesome to pull them back to build a city.
.
On the other hand, the most troublesome issue is the teleportation array. As mentioned before, the construction of the teleportation array is troublesome. The people Linton can currently contact to build the teleportation array are people from the church. However, it is not suitable to go to the church people now.
I said before that Linton would go when he was preparing for the annual report meeting and reach a cooperation agreement with the church people by then.
In short, the task of building a city was put aside for now, and Linton didn't take it. A few days later, Linton received another task of building a level 7 dungeon. Linton looked at his list of redeemable buildings.
There was no level 7 dungeon at all, and the authority was not enough, so Linton didn't answer it.
Then a few days later, Linton received the task of building a novice village. This task can be completed now, but after looking at the task requirements, the time given to build five novice villages is only 30 cycles. Is this task too urgent?
Already? After thinking about it for a day, until the task disappeared, Linton still did not accept the task.
As for why he didn't accept it, it was mainly because he was busy building a gold mine stronghold during this period. Linton said that the work was too hard. He had just finished his work and had to run five new village construction tasks. He was not too busy.
Then System Ji seemed to be angry, and not a single task appeared for three whole days. Until this morning, Linton discovered that a new task had appeared. However, this task was a very ordinary task, and it only required Linton to be there.
Just to advance the exploration rate of any world by 10%, the time given is actually 90 cycles.
This task is obviously easy to complete, and Linton estimates that the contribution value given by Linton will not be too much. This kind of task was very common before, but as his permissions were unlocked, there were more and more demanding tasks, and Linton was
I haven't seen a mission like this for a while.
After thinking about it for a while, Linton accepted the task. On the one hand, he was really not interested in doing construction tasks now, and on the other hand, the task seemed relatively easy, and he seemed like he could take a break.
After waiting for another three days, all the buildings needed for the battlefield were completed. Linton quickly confirmed it and then clicked to complete the task. After submitting the battlefield task, Linton was ready to set off.
