Early the next morning, John Thrall directly sent a team of dwarf engineering soldiers over to block all these exits with cement.

Just in case, a few metal plates were stuffed inside.

There's no guarantee that the ratmen will never be able to dig it out, but at least they can't dig it out quietly.

At the same time, the cleaning and disinfection of those urban buildings must also be carried out.

They were not required to clean up the entire city in a short period of time, but they had to clear out an area first so that the frontline troops could camp and rest.

At the same time, since they want to use this city as a frontline base, they certainly cannot leave the ratmen hiding underground unchecked.

But now there is a problem. It is pitch dark in the sewers, and the space is relatively limited. That kind of environment is obviously beneficial to the rat people.

If possible, it would be best to send an orc troop with night vision capabilities to support them.

With the help of communication satellites in the sky, this demand from the frontline troops reached Luo Ji's ears almost immediately.

Faced with this situation, Luo Ji, who was in the palace at the time, also became a little distressed.

When it comes to talking about the orc troops with excellent night combat capabilities within the civilization of all realms, the first thing Luo Ji thinks of is definitely the werewolves and kobolds.

At the same time, these two tribes are also considered to be the most populous tribes among the orcs. Therefore, the main force of the orc army is also sent by these two tribes.

However, it is precisely because of this reason that these two tribes suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle to support Gao Su.

Considering the population of the orcs and their growth efficiency, according to Luo Ji's opinion, the orc troops will not be easily used in the next ten years.

And now, only a few years have passed?

If you want to mobilize troops again, it's not as easy as it sounds.

After all, if there are more casualties, it is very likely that the vitality of the clan will be shaken, and it will take longer to recover later.

In addition, he also has to take care of the feelings of the orcs of all races.

If it makes them think, 'We have just ended a war, so many people died, and now His Majesty turns around and wants to recruit troops again. Do we have to accept this kind of treatment just because we are orcs and not human beings?

'The idea of ​​​​raising a grudge in the heart, and even having some not-so-good thoughts, would be troublesome.

There are too many things involved here. It’s not like just looking at the data and saying, ‘Don’t your clan still have a population of 200,000? If you draw one out of ten, and recruit another 20,000 troops, wouldn’t it be more than enough?’

Anyone with any brains should know that such silly nonsense cannot be said casually, let alone done casually.

The conscription will definitely involve young and middle-aged people. Excluding the old, weak, women and children, the total population of a clan is estimated to have to be reduced by one-third.

Under this premise, you forcibly recruit young and middle-aged people to join the army by drawing one out of ten.

It seems that after the conscription, there is still a lot of population left, but how much labor force can be formed by the large number of old, weak, women and children? There may be many of the remaining young and middle-aged people who were just in the previous war.

Retired from disability.

If someone voluntarily joins the army, that's another matter. If someone is forced to join the army, that's called death.

As soon as this matter comes down, which clan leader will not be in a hurry with you?

Even some people with a bad temper may have to shout, "The emperor is ignorant! The people are in dire straits!" and then rise up to rebel against him!

Faced with this situation, Luo Ji also discussed it with Guo Jia.

After some consideration, Guo Jia said...

"Your Majesty, how about recruiting troops from the Fox Tribe and Badger Tribe this time?"

"Badger tribe..."

Let’s not talk about the fox tribe and the badger tribe. If Guo Jia didn’t mention them, Luo Ji really wouldn’t have thought of them for a moment.

Among the badger tribe of his civilization, Luo Ji has always been used as an auxiliary unit.

It's not that they are bad, it's because of the allocation of resources.

The badger race is also a race with a relatively large population and can serve as the main force of the orcs.

However, of the same type, Luo Ji already had werewolves and kobolds before.

There are many orc races in his civilization of all realms. If he wants to upgrade them all, no matter how many orc points he has in his hand, they will not be enough.

Therefore, Luo Ji had to make a choice and prioritize.

Among the different types of orc tribes, which ones are mainly developed and which ones are secondary developed are all clearly marked.

Under this premise, Luo Ji acquired the werewolf and kobold tribes first compared to the badger tribe.

Before the emergence of the badger tribe, he had already invested a lot of orc points in the development of the werewolf and kobold tribes.

Under this premise, of course he is mainly promoting werewolves and kobolds. It is impossible to upgrade to badger human race halfway, so how many points will he waste? As for promoting the three races at the same time, there are not enough points.

Later, he acquired many strong orc tribes, and even overlord tribes. Their value and combat power were there, and if the badger tribe wanted to compete with them, they would definitely not be able to compete with them, so they could only continue to move to the back.

Until now...

Therefore, over the years, the number of badger tribesmen in the army has been small.

On the contrary, he is very active in the construction industry.

At the same time, the badger tribe itself has never had any objections to this situation, and has even lived quite comfortably.

As his thoughts were whirling, Luo Ji asked aloud...

"Guo Jia, briefly talk about the current situation of the badger tribe."

After hearing this, Guo Jia responded, and then spoke slowly...

"According to Wei Chen's understanding, the combat effectiveness of the Badger Tribe is quite impressive. The latest confirmation is that the current population of the tribe is 300,000, and it also has the ability to fight at night. The most important thing is that not many Badger Tribes joined the army before, and a few joined the army.

, has always been only responsible for providing support, so over the years, the population of the ethnic group has been developing very well, so it should be no problem to recruit a group of troops at this time."

In response, Luo Ji nodded.

"Okay, Guo Jia, it's up to you to handle this matter. Recruit a group of troops as quickly as possible and send them to the front line! Is there anything else on the front line?"

"some."

While settling the matter, Guo Jia spoke again...

"The enemy has an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 rat troops, which have penetrated deep into our territory, constantly harassing us, and attacking our frontline bases and several resource stations. Because of this troop, the supply on land is now limited.

Transportation is almost impossible to carry out smoothly. Although it has been directly replaced by airships for transportation, if this force is left alone, I am afraid it will cause us a lot of trouble."

Luo Ji nodded after understanding this.

"Okay, I understand. I will send troops to deal with this rat troop that has started guerrilla warfare on our territory."
Chapter completed!
