Facing the stalemate in front of us, the combined army of Raymond Southey and Robert Smith is in the north. It can be said to be huge. Including the orc army, there are hundreds of thousands of troops outside, and these guys seem to be still there.

Stop and gather troops on the front line.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for the special terrain of the Beishan Fortress and the Beishan Army and Zhao Pan's stubborn defense of the fortress, this last line of defense in the north would have been crushed by hundreds of thousands of enemy troops.

When two enemies need to be dealt with separately, it can only be said that this idea is stupid to attack the northern border.

In this way, relatively speaking, Charlie Crombell, who was relatively weak, became the best candidate.

Although the Yiren army is also quite difficult, he already knows how to deal with it, and it is always easier to fight than the one in the north.

The southern border was his breakthrough point. In fact, this was Luo Ji's plan from the beginning.

Although the bureau he had set up in the southern border earlier was disrupted by successive unexpected situations, he thought for a while that at least half of it was still usable.

When this group of reserve soldiers who have completed their training arrive, the strength of Fort Rollin in the south should reach 70,000. Coupled with the orc troops of the lizard people and the giant beast unit of Cook, the giant horned dragon lizard, the counterattack will be almost

Can start.

The troublesome situation now is that it is late summer. According to the army's support efficiency, by the time they arrive at Fort Rollin, the season will definitely be autumn, and winter will officially enter in two or three months...

It's a bit too subtle to say whether this is a long time or a short time. Luo Ji can say that this counterattack has been brewing for a long time. The effect he wants is to push back in one breath. Calculating the time, if it is a direct attack

, it can actually hit one or two waves.

But if these two waves of opportunities fail to defeat the frontline army on the opposite side, then when winter comes, it will be better if it doesn’t snow. Once it snows and the roads are blocked by heavy snow, how will the southern army pursue him?

At that time, his counterattack intention was exposed, but the southern army was unable to pursue him. Wouldn't it be equivalent to giving Charlie Crombell a winter to prepare?

It was because of this concern that he struggled with this issue.

After this state lasted for more than ten minutes, Luo Ji slowly spoke...

"Lu Yang."

"Wei Chen is here."

"Has the Ministry of Finance's financial report for this quarter been sent in?"

"Your Majesty, here."

While talking, Lu Yang quickly handed a report on his desk to Luo Ji's eyes.

After opening the report and carefully confirming the current financial situation of his civilization, Luo Ji closed the report and spoke again...

"Guo Jia."

"Wei Chen is here."

"Continue to stockpile food at Fort Luolin, and at the same time gather as many troops as possible. In the spring of next year, we will officially launch a counterattack!"

Luo Ji took a long breath after giving the order. It was better to be safe in the current situation.

Now let time continue to flow. In the past two months, the issue of pension payment has generally attracted the attention of many people. At the same time, it is no surprise that it has become the headlines of recent issues of newspapers.

And during this period, something was happening in Donglin City, located in the southeastern region of Wanjie Civilization...

As one of the first cities in the civilization of all worlds to dismantle city walls and begin to expand its urban area, Donglin City has undoubtedly done quite well in its urban development in recent years.

As the city's area increases, job opportunities also increase, thus attracting a large number of migrant workers.

This has caused the city's residential population to skyrocket in recent years.

Maintaining this pace of development, the emergence of the gap between rich and poor over time is almost inevitable.

Therefore, the living environment of wealthy families and ordinary families in Donglin City has gradually begun to differ.

And this incident happened in a civilian apartment.

Civilian apartments are extremely quiet during the day, because excluding a small number of people who have taken their turn to take a day off, most of the residents have gone out to work.

Zhou Yi is an ordinary office worker. She usually works as a salesperson in a store owned by Goblin Technology. Today it happened to be her turn to take a day off.

Sitting blankly in a room where she was the only one, looking at the photo in the frame in her hand, her tears gradually began to fall down.

A month ago, she received the news that her husband had died...

Yes, her husband was a soldier and died in a previous battle defending Beishan Fortress.

Due to the weather conditions at the time, the body had been cremated and only the ashes were returned.

In the past month or so, she had been numbing herself through work, and she did not dare to let herself be free, because once she was free, it would become like this.

However, at this moment, along with a "dong dong dong" sound, a knock on the door penetrated her ears.

Zhou Yi quickly took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and quickly walked over and opened the door. At this moment, standing outside the door were three middle-aged men wearing suits and leather shoes.

"Hello, is this Ms. Zhou Yizhou?"

"It's me, are you?"

"Oh, we are from Donglin City Social Security Bureau."

While talking, the middle-aged man standing in the middle showed the relevant documents in a decent manner.

After reading the certificate, Zhou Yi nodded and stepped aside.

"Please come in."

The notice from the Social Security Bureau was sent a few days ago, saying that it would come to her door in person in the next few days. While distributing family pensions, as a family member of the fallen soldier, she also had to sign some procedures, so Zhou

Yi was mentally prepared.

After entering the room and sitting down, probably because of their busy work schedule, the three staff from the Social Security Bureau quickly got to the point.

"Ms. Zhou, this is a document, please take a look."

While handing a document to Zhou Yi, another middle-aged man next to him also took out a money note from his briefcase.

Since the amount of pensions for soldiers killed in action is basically quite large, it would be too troublesome to bring all cash, so currently they are all paid out in the form of money notes.

"This is your husband's pension, a total of 608,000 yuan..."

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, Zhou Yi, who was sitting opposite, had already frowned slightly.

"Well, this comrade, according to the previous notice sent by the Social Security Bureau, my husband's pension should be 640,000."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled slightly.

"Ms. Zhou, don't worry, listen to me first. According to the relevant laws of our civilization, the families of fallen soldiers can receive a one-time insurance of 400,000 yuan, 70 months' salary, and your husband's pension.
