…
While players and cloud players were chattering on the forum, a super-fast agility player had already experienced the "new map" aboard the Dolphin cargo submarine.
The submarine settlement located next to the coral colonies and kelp forests has restored power to 50% of the area, and many Coral City residents stranded on the islands have returned to their familiar homes.
As the lighting system is activated, the transparent domes are like fluorescent jellyfish standing still, and the colorful waves spread along the seabed like a brilliant rainbow.
Looking at the colorful scene outside the submarine's porthole, Taili opened his mouth into an O shape in excitement and flattened his nose against the glass window.
"Oh oh oh! Is this the legendary Coral City?"
The meaty man standing next to him was even more exaggerated, with a big hairy mass that almost filled the entire window.
"Amazing!
"
The cat ears on the top of his head swayed slightly, and Sesame Lake standing behind Taili also let out a heartfelt sigh.
"It feels like an ideal city under the sea..."
Although the scale is not as large as that of Ideal City, the technological content here is no less than that of Ideal City.
According to Brother Fang, who stayed in Ideal City for half a year and took a certificate by the way, the prosperity of Ideal City actually has a certain "moisture content".
This is not to say that Ideal City is not prosperous enough, but that the first impression most wastelanders have of Ideal City is much exaggerated than the real situation there.
The reinforced concrete used there is actually only technology from the early Prosperity Era, and the endpoint cloud is just a quantum computing network developed based on the core of the colonial ship. In addition, the holographic imaging equipment, rail transportation, and maglev highways are shocking.
Eyeballs, but what is actually reflected is not technical power, just productivity.
This is one of the reasons why the academy and the legion do not pay attention to the prosperity of Ideal City. They are one family from ancestors and they know each other's true family background very well.
The ideal city is essentially a society that has reached stagnation after a high degree of prosperity. However, stagnation here is not a derogatory term, but a neutral term. After all, rationally speaking, they have indeed developed the land under their feet to the extreme.
If they are targeting the Era of Prosperity, they really don't have much to improve.
Compared with the ideal city that "looks much more prosperous than it actually is", Coral City belongs to the other extreme of "actually is much more exaggerated than it looks".
It is located in the deep sea below a hundred meters, and the deepest point can reach several hundred meters.
Building an undersea settlement in such a high-pressure environment that can accommodate normal human life, production, and research activities is quite a remarkable thing in itself.
The technology required to maintain the operation of this settlement is no less than the technology required to maintain the operation of a space station.
Especially the fact that the local survivors were able to do this without a stable input of nuclear fuel is enough to prove that they indeed have two skills.
Listening to those shouting and yelling, Captain Chen Jianhong couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth with a proud smile, and said with a smile.
"This is not the most magnificent time for this settlement. It should only be restarted to about 50% at present. When all the facilities here are restarted, the situation here will be even more amazing than now! Of course, that will consume a lot of energy.
, I’m afraid we have to wait until the Ocean Current Power Station is renovated.”
Sisi, who had been silent all this time, said with emotion after hearing this.
"It only takes a moment to shut down... but it will take half a year or even more to restart."
Chen Jianhong said with a grin.
"...More or less, after all, destruction is much faster than construction."
Coral City is like this, and so is Era of Prosperity.
He heard that in the distant past, magnificent structures connected the sky and the ground. A torrent of metal and cement spread infinitely on the horizon. The endless desert was transformed into farmland. The buildings of the old era were messy and inefficient.
The planet was pushed down into a tree-lined wilderness, and people relied on imagination and technology to divide the planet into several distinct worlds.
And above the sky, the majestic colonial ships even expedition to the new world five light years away.
In that era of extreme prosperity, the bottleneck of science and technology was no longer the boundary of imagination, but imagination became the bottleneck of the former.
After human civilization reached the pinnacle of history, subsequent people spent two centuries and still failed to return to one ten thousandth of the prosperity of the past.
Today's Coral City can only be regarded as an inconspicuous pearl among countless treasures.
"...Today I took you to visit my hometown. How about you take me to a more distant place in the sky later?" Chen Jianhong said jokingly with a smile.
He jumped down from the glass window, turned around and gave an enthusiastic thumbs up.
"Oh! It's a deal!"
"Hahaha!"
Amused by her cheerful look, Chen Jianhong didn't take it seriously, but he still said with a smile.
"Okay! It's settled!"
…
Just as the storm in the southern seas gradually subsided, a bigger storm was brewing in the land of Borneo.
In the northeastern corner of Borneo Province, Mengmao State on the banks of the Tasang River, the winding trenches are like scars carved on the barren land.
The people squatting in the trenches were all soldiers of the Yue Clan Resistance Army. Some of them held Rippers in their hands, some held LD-47s in their hands, and some worked in pairs to guard a rifle that was eliminated from Qingquan City.
The water-cooled "Maxin".
The latter once showed great success in the wave of Qingquan City because of its high rate of fire, low cost and easy maintenance.
Although the Alliance no longer produces this thing long ago, and there are already good substitutes, for Lacy, this kind of cheap and easy-to-use equipment is exactly what he needs most.
In addition, there are 88mm mortars, early versions of 20mm "rifles" and a series of goblin technology products. Although it is not enough to see on the front line of Haiya Province, it is not enough in Borneo Province.
It's still a rare good thing.
After all, these opponents of the Yue Clan Resistance Army, except for a few 100mm artillery, many infantry even use iron pipe rifles and even bows and spears, and they can't even dig a decent trench!
Especially the trenches without "discounts" don't even have an inflection point to remove the shock wave. If a shell falls in the trench, everyone on the line will die, and there won't even be a place to hide.
As most players who have been to this land said on the forum, this place has a completely different style from Haiya Province and Baiyue Province.
If Charas's marines are brought here, they may win more easily than the Burning Legion defeats them.
Of course, this is without considering supply and terrain factors. If these two things are taken into consideration, the outcome will still be determined.
On the position of the local army of Mengma Prefecture, Bamut, the governor of Mengma Prefecture, held a monocular telescope in his hand, looking at the highland not far away with a smile, and a trace of indifference hanging on the corner of his slightly raised mouth.
ridicule.
Just a bunch of serfs.
For people like them to dare to challenge His Majesty's authority, they simply don't know what the heavens and the earth are!
Although Mengma Prefecture was far away from Tiandu, he spent every penny that should be spent on the army.
And unlike the group of soft-footed shrimps who were corrupted by businessmen in Huzhou, Mengmazhou does not have those pervasive profiteers. The local army is not only firmly in the hands of the nobles, but also absolutely loyal to His Majesty Wutuo.
The Menghu Army dare not take care of this group of Yue people, and he will not be polite to these traitors.
He will chop off all their heads, put them on a carriage and send them all the way to Tiandu, so that the traitors who are ready to move can see what the consequences of being a traitor will be!
"...I heard that Lacy is just a slave. It seems that Duke Nihak didn't train him well."
Listening to Duke Bamut's words, General Dasina standing aside said with a flattering smile.
"Haha! How can Duke Nihak compare to you? If it were you, you would definitely be able to teach him to lower his eyebrows and be pleasing to the eye, and he would never dare to bare his teeth at his master."
Duke Bamut smiled lazily.
"Training? It would be better for a dog like this to be hanged on the city wall."
After a pause, he suddenly thought of something and said.
"Speaking of which, does he have a family?"
General Dasina was stunned for a moment and shook his head.
"Maybe not."
"That's such a shame."
Bamut clicked his tongue regretfully and returned the telescope to the guard beside him.
It's the most boring thing to compete against such a bachelor who only has one life. Even if you win, you won't enjoy much fun.
However, this guy's identity as a member of the Yue tribe is of some use. I hope Your Majesty will like this gift.
At this time, a two-meter-tall strong man suddenly stepped forward and nodded respectfully.
"Dear Duke Bamut, General Dasina, please allow me to serve as the vanguard! I promise you that the dead dog will be caught in front of you before sunset!"
Bamut glanced at him and felt how powerful this warrior was, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration on his eyebrows.
The general standing aside saw this and took a half-step forward to introduce him very sensibly.
"This is Zach Hill under my command. His position is Captain of Thousands. His Longtooth Thousand Troops can be considered the elite of our army! It's not a big problem for him to serve as the vanguard!"
"Very good." Seeing the opinions given by the professionals, Duke Bamut nodded approvingly, looked at the two-meter-tall strong man and said, "Chief Commander Zakhir, since your commander also thinks highly of you, then
It’s up to you to be the vanguard.”
The strong man's face lit up with joy when he heard this, and he quickly thanked him profusely and said.
"Thank you, Lord Duke! Thank you, General!"
Mengma Prefecture is located in a remote area, and it is rare to encounter such a large banditry. If he can make a contribution, he may really hope to become a captain of ten thousand men in his lifetime!
After receiving the order, Zakhir did not hesitate and immediately turned back to his tent, summoned a group of officers to hold a simple mobilization meeting, and then led more than a thousand people to the front line.
.
They all held Ripper rifles and two 100mm infantry cannons, which were pulled by two two-headed oxen. The firepower was indeed insufficient!
Seeing this group of menacing guys, the soldiers on the local army's position showed awe in their eyes and consciously gave way to them.
"It's the tusks..."
"Chief Commander Zakhir actually went into battle himself!"
"These Yue Clan people are probably dead..."
For them, the officers of the Gray Wolf Army and the Valantians were too far away, but the Longtusk Thousands could be seen with their eyes, and the God of War was standing next to them.
Not only do these guys use the most sophisticated equipment, but they are all tall and look as strong as calves.
Almost no one doubts that as long as these guys take action, the bandits will be defeated in an instant.
In fact, since the resistance army entered Mengmao Prefecture, it has never lost a small-scale battle or won a large-scale battle. The main force has retreated again and again, and now they have retreated to the edge of the Tasang River.
Relying on the higher ground, I could barely stand on my feet.
It rained a lot these days and the Tasang River was very fast. Even if they wanted to cross the river and escape, they would have no chance.
What's more, General Dasina had long known that they intended to cross the river to divide the territory and defend it, and had already sent a team of ten thousand people to the other side of the river to guard this group of people.
At the same time, on the Yue Clan Resistance Army's position, the scouts lying in the observation posts immediately discovered the movements of the local army and passed the news to their superiors without saying a word.
The news was reported layer by layer, and it reached Lacy within half a minute.
Inside the military tent.
Lacy summoned a group of officers who had followed him here from Golden Gallen Port and held a simple combat meeting. Everyone exchanged their opinions on the map.
"A team of a thousand people, all with guns, must be the elite of the Mengma Prefecture local army!"
"The Longtooth Thousand Troops? I heard that the captain is named Zakhir. He is from the Mongolian tribe, and he seems to be the son-in-law of General Dasina, the supreme commander of the local army."
An officer sneered.
"Oh, how dare you let your direct descendants serve as vanguards? These guys really don't take us seriously."
Another officer held his chin in thought.
"Since the Longtooth Thousand Troops are here, their commander should be on the front line. I'm afraid they can catch a big fish this time."
Looking at Lacy, who had been silent, the leader of the Resistance Army Regiment said with bright eyes.
"Close the Internet cafe! General!"
"Well, it's really time to close the damn net. We've made enough of those 50,000 pigs in the past two weeks."
Although the local army claimed to have 100,000 men, judging from the speed at which they set up and broke out of camp, as well as the garbage thrown away and the latrines left behind after breaking out of camp, there were only 50,000 to 60,000 animals including the animals hauling supplies.
After staring at the map for a long time, Lacy nodded, picked up a pen and carefully drew two marks on it, then looked up at his confidants and ordered with a serious expression.
"Tell brothers, it's time to fight back! No need to hold back any longer and give me a hard beating!"
The officers stood at attention, performed the military salute of the alliance, and roared sonorously and forcefully.
"yes!
"
As the order was given, the soldiers on the Resistance Army position began to move like clockwork gears.
But at this moment, Zac Hill, who was leading people away from the position, did not know it. He only felt that the high ground was quiet, and the Yue people squatting in the ditch were probably frightened.
There was a trace of sarcasm on his lips, he looked at the officer beside him and ordered.
"Kukas, ask your artillery to hit him ten times on the hillside first! Mick Heino, wait until the tenth shot is heard, then lead the men and charge up!"
"yes!
"
The two centurions received their orders respectively, and then ran quickly to their subordinates.
Soon two cannon shots rang out, and the silence on the battlefield was quickly broken as the shells fell to the ground.
The deafening sound of artillery echoed on the Yue Clan Resistance Army's position. The young men holding rifles pressed their heads firmly against the edge of the trench, their eyes flashing with evil light.
No one showed any fear.
No one showed hesitation on their face.
Because while they were being bombarded, their commander was standing with them!
They believe that that person can lead them to the final victory!
Amidst the roar of artillery fire, Laxi Fei did not hide in the artillery hole. Instead, he went to the frontline position, squatted in the trench and shouted loudly at the loudspeaker.
"Bury your heads in the trenches! Treat yourself as dead!"
"Don't feel ashamed, you will soon open up the bellies of those wild dogs, scatter their intestines on the ground, and wipe your leather shoes with their faces!"
"Remember the sound of the cannon! When our cannon sounds! We will return this fear and our roar to them doubled!"
At the same time as his roar fell, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the far northwest.
The sound seemed to come from the river.
When he heard the explosion, Duke Bamut was slightly startled at the local army position, wondering what the sound was. However, General Dasina's expression changed instantly.
"The embankment...is the embankment of the Tasan River!"
Mengmao Prefecture is located in the lower reaches of the Tasang River, in an alluvial plain. Although the land is indeed fertile, the river floods during the rainy season. Not only the farmers suffer, but the nobles who control large and small estates also complain.
As a result, the nobles who controlled several fertile lands along the river gathered together to build a river embankment on the widest river channel to irrigate the land of their own manors.
There has been a lot of rainfall in Mengmang Prefecture recently, and the Tasang River is in flood season. Once the river bank breaks, the entire downstream will be soaked in water!
Not just here...
Even Mengma City, hundreds of kilometers away, would suffer!
Hearing General Dasina's voice, Duke Bamut suddenly came back to his senses, his face turned pale, his lips were trembling with anger, and his breathing became rapid.
"This madman! What does he want to do!
"
Moreover, haven't all the Moon Clan resistance forces been surrounded by him by the river? Why are there still people causing trouble outside the encirclement?
And what on earth are those guys guarding the river embankment doing! Such a big river embankment cannot be guarded!
He had too many questions that he couldn't figure out, and he didn't have time to think about them.
Fully 80% of his "hundred-thousand-thousand-strong army" are staying on the edge of the Tasang River. The water from the upper reaches can flood not only one or two miles, but also the entire area of more than ten or twenty kilometers around the river.
into a swamp...
There is no chance to run even if you want to!
"Quick! Put all the food in the car!"
General Dasina roared desperately, urging the soldiers to quickly collect the rations and ammunition piled haphazardly in the shed, while he ran to the side of the bullock cart.
As if they had heard the sound of the rolling tide, the animals in the military camp began to stir uneasily.
At the same time, Mick Heino, who was waiting for the opportunity to attack on the front line, did not know what was happening in the rear.
Finally, when the tenth "cannon" was counted, he excitedly called on his centurions to rush forward.
However, before the centurion had even taken two steps forward, they heard the eleventh cannon blast again.
Just as Mikhailano was wondering why the artillery fired an extra round, the erratic shells landed in front of the resistance army's position.
"boom!
"
The flames of the explosion disappeared in a flash, and the resistance soldiers were not knocked down. Instead, the soldiers who charged forward were instantly knocked down by the raging shrapnel because they had no time to lie down.
"ah--!"
"my leg!
"
"Arm! My arm!"
Several soldiers whose arms and legs were blown off fell to the ground and howled. The sight of a lake of flesh and blood made the friendly troops nearby feel frightened and involuntarily slowed down their pace.
"What are these artillerymen doing for food?"
Mick Heino was shocked and angry. He turned around and glanced hastily. Before he could curse, he heard the sound of gunshots coming from above his head.
At some point, a machine gun was placed directly in front of their heads.
As the rapid gunfire rang out, streaks of tracer light accompanied by flickering gun flames hit their faces like raindrops.
The scene could only be described as tragic. The soldiers at the front didn't even have time to scream, and fell to the ground silently like wheat being cut down.
The soldiers behind were stunned by the machine gun. They fell to the ground one after another, huddled behind the bunker and did not dare to move forward.
However, at this time, there was another burst of gunfire from the front left position, and whizzing bullets came from diagonally above.
Those seemed to be bullets fired across the rear positions. This time they didn't even see the flames of the gunfire, and they were beaten indiscriminately. A lower bunker or lying down on the spot was of no use.
Seeing that half of his subordinates were beaten in the blink of an eye, Mick Heino's heart ached as if he was bleeding. He could only grit his teeth and call back the soldiers who had not yet rushed forward.
After going back and forth, there were only twenty or thirty soldiers left in a hundred-man team, and the remaining soldiers had expressions of shock on their faces.
Didn't their commander say that the guys across the street were all serfs?
Is this a battle that serfs can fight?!
It was not only Centurion Mick Heino who was stunned, but Centurion Zach Hill who was slightly behind was also stunned.
What made the two of them even more confused was what was going on behind them. Why was this battle going on? How did the mud under their feet get soaked in the water?!
By the time everyone came to their senses, the water from the bursting river had already reached their knees, and soon it reached their chests.
A large amount of driftwood and rocks were washed down from the upper reaches, as well as the remains of collapsed wooden houses.
The river burst its banks and gushed across the plain, turning hundreds of miles into a marsh.
The local army soldiers standing on the front line were washed to pieces by the flood. They hugged driftwood and dead trees and shouted for help. Those who could not swim and those who were slightly shorter drowned directly in the river.
It became one of the floating corpses rushing downstream.
They didn't even know what was going on, and they couldn't contact their superiors. The same was true for their superiors, who only focused on escaping for their own lives and couldn't care less about the soldiers under their command.
Looking at the imperial soldiers soaking in the water, Lacy stood on the battlefield with a cold smile on his face.
Is this an empire...
She's so damn good that she doesn't need to be beaten.
"...I'm afraid this flood will last for five or six days." Standing next to Lacy, his adjutant said cautiously.
Their original plan was to use the bursting river water to flood the trenches of the Imperial Army, force the soldiers out of the trenches, and then use the bursting river water to wash them down and kill them all.
But now it seems that the plan can no longer keep up with the changes.
Being unfamiliar with the place, they underestimated the rapidity of the Tasang River. The chain reaction caused by the bursting of the river's banks was stronger than they imagined. They didn't even have to follow the river to rush down.
The troops hiding upstream should have completed their assembly by this time.
They have tied ammunition and supplies to the rafts prepared in advance, and they should be arriving to join them soon.
Six thousand versus fifty thousand, with less than a hundred casualties in the entire battle. This battle is enough to be recorded in the military history of Borneo...
"Don't say five or six days, it doesn't matter if it's flooded for another ten days and a half."
Looking at the flooded plain, Lacy continued expressionlessly.
"We just happened to go into the city to provide disaster relief."
As long as Mengma City and the wharf are captured and people see hope of victory, a steady stream of food and money will naturally be sent to them.
Whether it's from Golden Gallon Port or from French Fries Port.
And he can start the follow-up plan...
