Douluo see you soon

The Wilder family's army was quickly transformed and became the local residents of Wasteland City. The Wilder family itself was full of fear of the failure of this expedition. The 50,000-strong army was already an extremely elite army in this era.

, and they are all cavalry. Maintaining the logistics of such an army requires consuming all the resources of the entire family. The combat power can even attack cities and territories everywhere, if it were not for the fact that there are no other suitable places near the two cities occupied by the Wilder family.

The occupied city. They had already captured it.

Just like this, the almost invincible army that had been fighting in the plains disappeared silently during the expedition. The troops responsible for logistics and maintenance also disappeared silently after entering the wasteland city, as if

It's like a bottomless pit. Almost no one who enters it can come out alive.

Only a handful of people escaped from the battlefield. Telling those still alive about the cruelty of the battlefield made them finally understand everything that had happened before.

A terrifying war broke out on the battlefield before. Skyfire fell from the sky and exploded violently after landing on the ground. Extraordinary beings relied on strange machines with wings to glide in the sky. Terrifying and powerful magic,

Dropped from the sky like no money.

It's like there are dozens of great magicians using magic in the sky. Those sky fires are even more terrifying weapons. There are also bullets that kill people invisible. You can't see the flight trajectory at all. By the time you feel it, you have already been hit.

You can confirm that the bullet that hit you is a bullet, and you have to dissect the body to find out that some bullets will remain in the body. Most people don't even know what they were hit by.

In the smoke and fire, it was impossible to tell the difference between east, west, south and north. Those who were able to escape were all lucky and unlucky. According to their descriptions, there were monsters on the battlefield that were bigger than giant dragons and bigger than giant dragons.

The dragon is a terrifying steel dragon. They gallop across the battlefield at a speed faster than a war horse, and can spit out cannonballs that are more terrifying than the dragon's flames, hitting targets miles away.

What's even more frightening is that there are many extraordinary beings appearing on the battlefield. Although they are not high-level, they are huge in number. They not only fly in the sky and throw weapons to attack, but also use their long hair to attack after landing. They are equally powerful.

The descriptions of the soldiers who escaped made the members of the Wilder family even more confused. In their descriptions, the opponents did not look like normal troops at all, but seemed to come from other worlds, like devils or gods. At least.

In their opinion, human beings simply do not have such fighting power.

They wanted to continue sending people to test and take revenge. But for a while, they didn't have the ability at all. The most elite soldiers of the Wilder family never came back after they went on an expedition. They had very little strength left on hand.

, the total number of troops is only a few thousand. In this case, even maintaining the survival of one's own territory is a big problem. The most important problem is to continue the family and maintain the defense of these two cities.

As for the annihilation of the main force of the legion, try not to make it public as much as possible, and find ways to guide members of other nearby families to explore the area of ​​Wasteland City. It is best to make their main force annihilated there as well. In this way

Only then can a balance be achieved.

Cheng Ying is actually a little worried that his strength will be leaked. In that case, he might be surrounded by a large army. If someone can realize the seriousness of their existence, this is almost inevitable.

However, based on the intelligence sent back by the investigators he sent, he discovered that he had made a major mistake in his judgment. These nobles were more important to maintain the existence of their own families than to maintain the entire noble system.

The city under Cheng Ying's rule violated the aristocratic system and adopted a completely different governance method, but the aristocrats actually didn't know this. The previous war could only be regarded as a glimpse, at most.

We have seen their strong military power, but not their internal political system. So at most, we think that there is a strong enemy there. The best way is to beggar your neighbor, let your neighbors fill the holes, provoke the strong enemy, and then

was destroyed.

Instead of spreading the word widely and then sacrificing yourself as a vanguard, you also want to destroy this powerful enemy.

Even if they know about the political system here and let it continue to develop, they may destroy the entire aristocratic system, but they may not be able to unite. After all, each family has their own interests. For the entire aristocracy, you

If you sacrifice yourself for your own interests, the other party will only take benefits from your bones, and will not remember your kindness and continue your family.

Cheng Ying somewhat overestimated the class consciousness of these nobles. He found that they did not realize that the crisis was coming, which was convenient for Cheng Ying. He could continue to promote technological development in his territory and promote the advancement of productivity.

After the emergence of new flying mounts, these mounts were first used not on the battlefield, but among the people. They were used as messengers to deliver important letters between cities. Some were not too heavy.

Items can also be sent by post.

When necessary, you can actually make them familiar with the flight path, and then let them fly there by themselves. Without a knight, they can carry more items. After all, a knight himself weighs hundreds of kilograms no matter how light he is.

, this weight can already carry a lot of items.

The intelligence of such a large flying species is actually not low. Birds use their brains more efficiently than mammals. In addition, they are large enough and their brains are large enough. Although their intelligence is not as good as that of humans

, but it’s not bad at all compared to cats and dogs. Maybe even a little better.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With such an IQ, it is enough to remember the road, and there is no problem traveling between different cities. Although in this era, with the development of technology, it is already possible

Sending wired telegrams. During the construction process of major cities, corresponding cables were laid along railways and highways, but what could be transmitted was only information. If you really want to actually send items, you can only rely on the road network and railways.

Internet. Even if this kind of thing is very fast, it is difficult to transport the items to the place on the same day.

Therefore, the simplest way is to rely on the express delivery system of air transport. In this situation of mass production of flying geese, the transportation capacity in the sky cannot be underestimated. Although some large items cannot be transported in this way, express delivery is needed in daily life

There are actually not too many large items.

Even after the number of corresponding mounts is enough, you can also start civil aviation business. This kind of civil aviation business does not operate as a passenger plane but flies on the body of a big goose. It is somewhat characteristic of the times.

This is also to prepare for future wars. If everyone is accustomed to traveling on that goose, then on the battlefield, they can also change jobs as a knight at any time to complete bombing missions in the sky.

At the same time as the transportation network in the sky developed, the territory also began to expand outwards. Although the radius of 500 miles is very large, and there are two of them, it will take a long time to develop. But industrial development requires more than just coal mines.

and iron ore, as well as a large number of other natural resources.

Not all places have enough natural resources to meet the development of the entire industrial system. Many resources are not available in some places and can only be found in other places. Under this restriction, Chengying must also expand his territory.

business scope. For example, things like rubber. They can hardly find them here, because the two continents are in areas with relatively high latitudes. The areas close to the equator where rubber trees can be planted are completely outside their control. Only

You can ask your neighbors for it.

What is more interesting is that the wasteland is divided into two areas. They are in the northern and southern hemispheres. The difference in latitude is not too big. So there is a strange phenomenon. That is, when one side is in winter, the other side happens to be in winter.

summer.

This is of great help to the planting of grain, because the seeds and good food production on both sides can just complement each other, so that there is almost food output throughout the year. More importantly, it facilitates the development of animal husbandry.

.

The reason why nomads need to chase water and grass is because climate changes cause grasslands to wither in the cold winter, and they have to go to warmer places. After eating up one grassland, they have to go to another one.

A major impact of the climate difference between the two sides is that in the summer, people here can graze freely. When the cold winter comes, the normal prelude is to spend a lot of money to store a large amount of licorice.

For use in winter.

However, compared with fresh grass, these forages are still relatively nutrient-poor for livestock. If it is a cow, the milk production of eating this kind of hay will decrease to a certain extent, and other livestock will also be affected to a greater or lesser extent.

Impact. Not to mention that it also costs more to store manually cut grass.

And when there is a portal, you can perform some extremely outrageous operations, that is, run directly from one side of the portal to the other side. So summer has just ended, and when you go to the other side, you find that spring has just begun.

Soon, another midsummer with abundant water and grass will come soon.

So this cycle goes back and forth. There is no need to reserve aquatic plants at all.

However, there are grasslands and plains on both sides. They both have a temperate climate. This means that it is basically impossible to grow things like rubber here. You can only look further south or further north. The lords of the territories there have the ability to grow such things.

Plants. There is also a lot of growth in the area itself.

Although there was not such a big market for rubber products before the advent of the industrial age, its various properties were still very practical, and it was an important strategic resource even in the feudal era.

How to obtain these resources can be approached from two perspectives. One is to capture these cities, and the other is to trade. War costs money, and it costs a lot of money, and it delays production.

At present, Cheng Ying's main strategy is production and development, so his choice is to buy from the lords of these territories. Trade is more beneficial to them. Because there is a huge scissor gap between industry and handicrafts, especially agriculture.

If everyone doesn't fight and trades according to the rules, they will gradually find that all the wealth in the world will gather in the direction of Wasteland City. In the end, there will be no need to fight, because who will be the new generation of empire lord, in trade

It has already been determined.

Of course, this kind of thing is impossible to happen in reality. If you have too much wealth and don't have enough power to protect it, it will inevitably lead to death.

However, the surrounding lords had heard more or less about the previous war. They knew that Wasteland City was not easy to mess with. So when facing the caravan sent by Wasteland City, they all appeared to be very polite. Chengying sent

The key product sold by the caravan is iron pots. Although these iron pots can also be smelted and remade into weapons, they basically don't care about weapons such as swords.

After all, these things have been gradually eliminated by the times, and with their industrial level, it is not an easy task to recast these iron pots and make them into iron pipes. It is not easy to make qualified weapons with just such a small amount of steel.

It is almost impossible. Therefore, Wasteland City has nothing to worry about selling metal products such as iron pots.

Although the metal smelting technology in this world is pretty good and can even produce full-body plate armor, this does not mean that the price of steel products will be cheap. Being able to produce plate armor does not mean that the value of plate armor is low.

Being able to make an iron pot does not mean that everyone can afford it. But this high-quality and cheap thing immediately opened up the market. Various metal products were exchanged for boxes and boxes of rubber, which were sold in large quantities through railway lines.

After being transported back, other resources from various places were also traded through similar trading methods.

In addition to basic products such as iron pots, items such as bicycles that were already considered luxuries to a certain extent also quickly became popular in nearby territories.

The production prices of these industrial products in Wasteland City are very low, but they are all rare treasures in the cities outside. Invisibly, a large amount of resources flow quickly into the scope of Wasteland City. In this way, although there is no explosion

War, but frantically harvesting the productivity of surrounding territories in a peaceful way.

At a certain level, it is equivalent to everyone in the surrounding territories working for them. In order to allow these people to work better and produce more wealth, Chengying even actively spreads some technologies and actively transfers some

The spread of improved grain seeds will ensure that these peripheral cities can explode with greater productivity. After all, for things like leeks to grow vigorously, they still need to be watered and fertilized.
