Chapter 522 Warriors Showdown (Part 2)
The fourth prince who had been looking up on the city tower was still so excited that he clenched his fists, but his subordinates were already cheering.
Finally, I waited for a good time to defeat the grassland soldiers in the field. I didn't expect that the Alliance Army was so powerful. Not only could they fight head-on with the grassland soldiers in the plains, but they could also fight with the grassland soldiers.
Everyone knows how difficult the grassland soldiers are to reach. Just look at the comparison between the city defense war and the grassland soldiers' combat losses, which are good at the right time, place and people.
Those who don’t know how to do things will see the Alliance Army rushing out of the city and fighting head-on with the grassland soldiers, and then defeat them, as if the grassland soldiers are vulnerable, but those who have fought with the grassland soldiers know that the grassland soldiers are not so easy to provoke.
The Southwest Army, which had been fighting against the grassland soldiers for many years, was of course more clear, so they would not be jealous of the Alliance Army defeating the grassland soldiers. Instead, they were shocked by the strength of the Alliance Army while happily winning.
This emotion naturally arises. Today, I was suppressed by the grassland soldiers before, but now the Alliance Army, which is suppressed by the grassland soldiers, wouldn’t it be easier if I want to deal with people like me?
The fourth prince suddenly woke up and shouted: "Hurry up! Send all troops to pull all the reserved men up for me. You must not let these grassland people run away!"
After hearing this order, everyone knew that this was a great opportunity to completely solve this group of grassland people, and they took the order and ran down.
The officers knew very well that this group of grassland people was the culprit for the Southwest's constant military control. Besides these more than 100,000 grassland people, no other grassland people appeared. In other words, as long as these grassland people are solved, even if the threat of grassland people cannot be completely eliminated, it can still calm the southwest for a period of time and let all the southwest people take a breath.
Moreover, these grassland people were all broken up by the Alliance Army. If the cavalry loses their numerical advantage, the infantry with the numerical advantage does not need to be afraid at all.
This is a great opportunity to gain military merits. Whether you can get promoted to one level or two levels depends on this time.
The city gate opened again, and the remaining Southwest Army in the city immediately gathered its troops to rush out of the city, while the southwest men picked up all kinds of equipment and rushed out immediately.
The 100,000 Southwest Alliance infantry, who had been rectified and established, learned about the situation, especially when they knew that Cons, the leader, actually killed the grassland soldiers outside the city. Under the scolding of the officers, and in the surprise of the soldiers, they also set out outside the city as soon as possible.
Under the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of troops, all of these grassland soldiers were killed in battle, and none of them surrendered.
Although the officers desperately persuaded surrender when they were in control of the overall situation, no one of the grassland soldiers put down their weapons except for even more crazy attacks.
At the end of the fight, the Southwest Army and the Alliance Army were a little reluctant to raise their weapons to the rushing grassland soldiers, so that these grassland soldiers could not collide with them, rather than killing them.
This was a battle that lasted until late at night. The next day, when the daylight looked at the corpses and blood in the field of view, all the participants shook their heads a little lonely.
The officials in the city who were like watching a show were all cheering loudly. The grassland soldiers besieging the city were finally eliminated. What’s important is that the Southwest Army finally defeated the grassland soldiers on the field battlefield. The success rate of this pair of regaining the southwest will greatly increase!
When the fourth prince began to order the celebration banquet, Cons' alliance army had moved to the grassland army camp. After reporting on the celebration banquet, Xiang Wen began to report the losses this time.
"Master, our Iron Cavalry lost 7531 people in this battle, and injured more than 23,000 people. It can be said that half of the 60,000 Iron Cavalry were injured, but more than 80% of the wounded could recover within a month.
"Because we occupied the grassland soldiers camp at the first time, we seized 130,000 stones of grain, 30,000 war horses, 100,000 grassland bows, 10,000 bundles of feathered arrows, 10,000 bundles of iron arrows, 10,000 bundles of wooden poles and iron head arrows, 10,000 bundles of each bundle, and 1,340 treasure knives."
Cons raised his eyebrows. There were 100,000 precious arrows such as the eagle-shaped arrows used to snipe important targets? There were 10 million iron arrows, and the ordinary arrows were even more amazing. There were 100 million. No wonder the grassland soldiers could launch arrow rain attacks continuously!
As for why the grassland soldiers have the strength to shoot archery continuously, Cons did not pursue it. After all, it is possible for people who are polluted by the Secretariat to have any incredible abilities.
What Cons cares about is so many arrows, especially the ten million iron arrows. Not to mention how big a factory is needed to make so many arrows, but only saying that the metal that needs to make these iron arrows is an astronomical figure.
It is impossible to achieve such consumption just by purchasing outside. Only when the prairie itself has a large iron ore, it is possible to achieve such consumption.
A powerful manufacturing plant, coupled with a resourceful mine, the combined effect of the two is enough to worry.
Because such things are not from my own side, but from the Secretology that is enemies of the world. Thinking about how many troops the Secretology can use this system to equip, I can't help but have a headache.
"How is the plague situation in the other three southwest provinces? Has it been reduced?" Cons asked.
"It's strange to say that it's not weakened much. Although it's normal for those three provinces to create a powerful plague, it's not a few years since it's been exposed to the sun, heavy rain, and strong winds. Those corpses have long become skeletons. Where can they still create plague?
"Even if the swamp is built like this for a few years, it will become a safe piece of dry land. Why is this happening in the three provinces now?" Xiang Wen said with a frown.
"Well, would you say it was man-made? Or the scope of this plague is only available in the border areas of the three provinces." Cons thought for a while and said.
[Man-made? Are you saying that this is the grassland secret religion that discovered that the grassland was messed up by them and lost the effect of covering them, so I simply continued the situation of the grassland people attacking the outside world and created a plague area to protect them?" Xiang Wen said in surprise.
"Apart from the mysterious organization of the Secretology, the Secretology, I really can't think of why the plague will last for so long. Well, the matter of A Zero should be done, right? Transfer A Zero over. Only A Zero can do the reconnaissance of the plague." Cons said.
Xiang Wen smiled and said, "A Zero has now opened three channels connecting Wilt in the forest, and the territory on the channel has been completely controlled by the merchant group under the command of the Third Master. In addition to 30,000 elite soldiers scattered on these territory, we have tens of thousands of people moving to the area. It can be said that even if our intentions are discovered, the territory near this channel is definitely under our control."
"Well, An Zaikang's merchant group should develop rapidly with the help of the huge price difference between goods in the two places, right?" Cons asked with a smile.
"Yes, the business group of Sanye is really making great profits. Think about it, if a gold coin price is only available for half the world to reach Werte, the price has increased by dozens of times. After deducting the freight, the merchants made more than ten times. However, we only passed one channel, and the freight cost was almost no, and the profit was dozens of times.
"By using such a channel, the Sanye business group is dozens of times easier than others, but it makes more money. After a few rounds, the Sanye business group naturally grows more easily than others.
"I have received the report from the Third Master. Now the merchant group under the Third Master has occupied a share of the entire port of Werte, and the ports that have joined forces to occupy have reached tens of millions of acres of land in the Inland of Werte!
"To count all, we already have 7% of the entire Wilt, and at this time next year, this number will at least double!" I was very excited when I talked about this.
Cons opened his mouth and his eyes emitting an incredible look.
Seven percent, not talking about power, not just wealth, let alone land and population, but seven percent of the total of all things such as Wilt's national population, financial resources, troops, land, influence, power, etc.!
Although this number is a bit small, seven percent of the world's largest country, as long as you calculate it, you can find that it is definitely stronger than the entire unified alliance, including the Southwest and Cons private forces.
Understanding what this number means, even a calm person like Cons couldn't help but suck.
At that time, An Zaikang formed a large number of merchant groups in Wilt, with the purpose of purchasing a large number of Helmet-class merchant ships to be transformed into naval warships. Unexpectedly, these merchant groups controlled such a large share of Wilt.
Now let alone any large merchant ships, even the Helmet-class warships are not subject to purchase restrictions. All they consider is whether there are so many qualified sailors driving.
Moreover, when the share controlled by the merchant group reaches 20%, it is not impossible to control the world's number one fleet.
When she thought of this, Xiang Wen looked at Cons even more admiringly.
I used to hear that I wanted to take over Wilt, but I thought I was talking to myself, but I didn’t expect that I had already made it to this point. As long as I waited for Wilt’s top business group, 60% of the ports belonged to my own system, then the entire Wilt would be the one in my possession.
Of course, all this can only be hidden in the dark and cannot be exposed. Even the business groups in the system do not know their master behind the scenes, let alone other business groups.
All arrangements are to prevent the people of Wilter from shocking, and to prevent the whole world from uniting to deal with the Lord.
After all, except for oneself, few forces in the world are willing to see Wilt have a master. Anyway, they can make Wilt act according to their own intentions. Since this is the case, why bother to care about those false names that can only represent trouble? If you want to be famous, the reputation of the Empire is enough.
As for reminding Cons to pay attention to An Zaikang's actions that may turn against the enemy, Xiang Wen did not have this idea at all. It was not to be assured of An Zaikang, but to be no matter what happened to An Zaikang, it was impossible to completely control the number of merchant groups that had expanded to a hundred times as calculation units.
The reason why these business groups obediently obey orders is mainly because of the surveillance and deterrence of the secret guards. Otherwise, these nominal business groups would have been independent and would not be willing to obey orders? Therefore, as long as the secret guards do not betray, these business groups would not even think of violating Cons' orders. As for worrying about the secret guards' betrayal? First of all, the secret guards have successfully brainwashed and started training and will not betray easily; secondly, if they want to betray, they have to seduce people, but the secret guards usually only contact people who are secret guards, and they will not contact people without any trouble, and their true identity will not be exposed when they come into contact. It is impossible to bribe them. This ensures that the secret guards will not be seduced. If there is no external temptation, it is very difficult to betray the secret guards.
The Secret Guard will not betray, so the business group will not betray; the business group will not betray, and no matter how much the Third Master controls, there is nothing scary. Since that is the case, why say some useless things so that people will think they are sow discord.
At this moment, a secret guard suddenly appeared and reported: "Lord, Mrs. Isna sent a letter."
Looking at the package held by the Seok Guard, Cons smiled in his heart: Could it be that his wife brought clothes?
Cons opened it while thinking, and there was a small box inside the package. It opened again, and a box of black pearl-like meatballs as big as fingers, with a letter on it.
When Cons looked at the meatballs, his face changed. Isna wouldn't have made so many magical medicines, right? He immediately opened the letter.
Although Xiang Wen didn't dare to peek at the content of the letter, he also looked at the meatballs in the box with confusion. What are these dark things?
These meatballs are a bit like black pearls, but they are not as lubricated as pearls. Instead, they are a bit like pills, but they have no medicinal smell. What did the mistress send such things for?
Seeing Cons's face first, he was startled, and then smiled. Xiangwen felt even more curious, but this was a private message from the mistress. Who dared to look around can only wait for Cons' explanation.
Cons smiled and put the letter in his arms, then picked up a black ball and said, "Do you know what this is?" Seeing Xiangwen with a puzzled look, Cons immediately asked himself and replied, "This is a pill specially refined by Isna to restrain the demons."
"Restrain the demons? How to restrain it? Let the demons eat it?" Xiangwen widened her eyes. Although she knew that the quiet Mrs. Isna suddenly changed her style a few days ago and refined the medicine in a hurry, she never thought that this lady could really make any useful medicine.
