The second round of sweeps
In the evening, the team that went out to clean up returned to the camp.
Qin Shuang reported the new situation to Tang Jing, "Sir, you are right, Chang'an has been exposed."
"How to say?"
"I interrogated several aboriginal captives who were close to the lord, and they repeatedly mentioned the internal competition in Greywater County. Whoever advances to the village first will get the most assistance and other related information."
"Then it looks like he didn't run away."
Tang Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Since it has been exposed, let's just play something big."
"It just so happened that the City Guard Brigade had also completed its internal training, and they all went out to practice and carry out a three-day sweep operation to uproot all enemy territory south of the Mero River and east of the Greywater River."
The scope of the sweep was nearly 1,000 square kilometers, an area ten times that of last time.
The sweep is over.
It is enough to upgrade the territory stone tablet to the gold level.
"I agree!"
Qin Shuang likes this kind of open and close approach.
………
Night, elf tribe.
After returning to the tribe and handing over to the clan leader, Mia returned home and was pestered by her younger brother Ace again.
"Sister, how about that human territory?"
"It's not bad. The city has been built and the army is not weak."
"Then when will you go next time? Take me with you." Ace's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"What are you going to do?"
Mia suddenly became alert, knowing that this younger brother had never been very peaceful.
"I want to go out and experience things. I don't want to stay in the mountains like this all my life."
Ace told the truth.
Not all elves can endure loneliness, otherwise there would be no elf rangers.
In a sense, traveling is also a tradition of the elves, especially for male elves. It can not only increase their knowledge, but also bring the latest information from the outside world to the tribe.
It's a rite of passage.
"no!"
Mia refused without thinking, "Chang'an Village has offended Black Wind Village and will be invaded by the orc army in the near future. I'm not worried if you go at this time."
"What do you mean, sister, Chang'an Village can't defeat Heifeng Village?" Ace frowned.
"That's not true."
Mia shook her head, "With the city defense of Chang'an Village and the army, we should be able to hold it."
"That's it."
Ace looked excited, "If I go at this time, it will be a timely help, and I will definitely be reused."
"You will be reused whenever you go."
Mia still disagrees. She has long seen that the human lord Tang Jing hopes to enhance the friendship with the elf tribe, and there is absolutely no need to take risks at this time.
"I"
Meeting his sister's sharp gaze, Ace was immediately discouraged.
………
The next day.
Under the unified deployment of Qin Shuang, the City Guard Brigade launched a new round of sweeps.
This allowed the Aztecs to break through their defenses again.
"Reinforcement, reinforcements quickly, the damn Dragon Lords are about to kill at the doorstep."
"I have seen the dragon cavalry..."
"Damn it, the dragon-honoring man actually struck first."
Facing the incoming city guard brigade, even if it operates as a battalion or even a team, it is not something that the surrounding territories, which currently only have three-level shelters at best, can contend.
In terms of combat power, they are still crushed.
In a short period of time, it is impossible for these territories to unite together and jointly defend against the enemy. Even if they have this intention, they may be destroyed before they reach the target territory.
The Cavalry is not a vegetarian.
After Qin Shuang took charge of the cavalry, he always had control over the dynamics of the surrounding territories.
It's not a black eye.
Therefore, under the control of Qin Shuang, this major sweep by the City Guard Brigade had a clear division of labor and a clear goal. Once launched, it would be a thunderous force.
There was absolutely no chance for the Aztec lords to breathe.
"Don't just watch the fun!"
"Isn't it too late for reinforcements at this time? Don't take advantage of the dragon people again."
"It's definitely too late."
"Then we can't just watch. It's good to have some reinforcements. Even if we can't win, we still have to teach the Dragon Lord a lesson, right? We can't let the Dragon Lord feel that we are easy to bully."
"War is not a child's play and should not be acted on impulse."
The great lords were not willing to use the warriors they had finally saved as cannon fodder.
In the final analysis.
Or is it that the current strength of mainstream players is too weak, it would be heartbreaking to donate even one warrior.
If the mainstream lords all enter the township stage and have hundreds of warriors under their command, then they don't mind giving some reinforcements to Gray Water County to make them feel bad.
There isn't any now.
"It's so frustrating!"
Reason is reason, and the Aztecs were really unhappy after being tortured round after round by the dragon people.
Each and every one of them hated Tang Jing to the core.
"Fortunately, we didn't open a global channel, otherwise we would have become a global laughing stock."
This made the proud Aztecs even more unhappy.
"It's not a problem to be so passive. The lords of Greywater County, no, the entire Bay County, must speed up the pace of annexation and decide on a few leaders as soon as possible. If they delay for too long, they are afraid of raising tigers!"
"That makes sense."
"@Lords of Bay County, don't just think about external reinforcements, you also need to gain some momentum yourself."
"Be united!!!"
This consensus became the only outcome of this great discussion.
But logic is logic, and if it is actually implemented, it will be another matter.
The simplest thing is, who annexes whom?
The most anxious person now is the lord of Graywater County, and the counties further away are not so anxious. But in any case, in the face of "pressure", the accelerated merger of the Bay County territory will be the general trend.
It was fun to watch.
………
Tang Jing is also thinking about the Aztecs.
Obtaining the architectural drawings of the outer city wall, especially the construction acceleration card, increases the probability of Chang'an City gaining a foothold in the River Valley Province by at least 30%.
With the strong city as its base, even if the Aztec lords gathered an army of ten thousand people now, it would be difficult to break it.
It gave Changan more and more time to grow.
But the time window is not infinitely long. From the accelerated integration of the lords around Chang'an, it can be inferred that the threat Chang'an brings to the Aztec Alliance is increasing day by day.
In disguise, it promoted internal integration among the lords of Bay County.
Once this integration is completed, it will be a moment of crisis for Chang'an.
Until then.
It is very possible that not ten thousand, but tens of thousands of troops came to attack.
To be continued...
