My Empire War Game

There are more than two hundred fighters in the pioneering team, including fifty archers, half-elf and half-human, ten drow scouts, ten half-elf rangers, ten dwarf defenders, and thirty barbarian warriors. , thirty centaur rangers, and the rest are all sharpshooter guards.

Su Lun also arranged for some Wingman spellcasters to follow, together with transportation personnel and construction workers, the entire team has reached nearly a thousand people. Fortunately, there is no shortage of horses in Zhenbei City, which can carry a lot of supplies, otherwise the thousand people The number of people's pioneering teams will be larger.

The task of this pioneering team is to establish a stronghold on the eastern coast, and at the same time clear the surrounding wilderness monsters, and they not only need to build a stronghold, but also need to open up the road along the entire Hongsha River.

After all, water transportation is much better than land transportation. Even in the 21st century in the previous life, sea transportation was still the cheapest way of bulk freight. If Su Lun wants to trade with countries in the eastern continent, the Hongsha River is a must. Smooth; fluent.

Judging from the map given by those adventurers, Zhenbei City is about 1,500 kilometers away from the mouth of the Hongsha River. Such a long distance must set up some strongholds and transfer stations along the way. There are monsters everywhere in the wasteland, without a safe base to rest, this business road will become very dangerous, and at the same time, a transfer station needs to be set up here to supplement various food.

A distance of 1,500 kilometers requires at least five transfer points. If this business route is finally successfully opened, these transfer points along the way will soon become new towns, and eventually become cities on this business route.

But to accomplish this, Su Lun still needs to face a very difficult problem, that is the population. The population of Zhenbei City is too small, and the population of the entire Beifeng Duchy has not exceeded 400,000. They can only emigrate from the Kingdom of Florence. The final cost Money is not a small amount.

Fortunately, during this period of time, the Kingdom of Florence has undergone a little transformation under the control of Su Lun. There are many poor people who have nothing in many areas. Under the arrangement of Phyllis, these poor people will be forcibly sent to Zhenbei City to supplement The population of the North Wind Principality.

Su Lun plans to increase the population of Beifeng Principality to over one million within two to three years, among which Zhenbei City has a population of 300,000 to 400,000, Jinghu City has a population of 100,000, and the newly built city has a population of 100,000. Because of the many maple trees planted around the new city, Su Lun named it Red Maple City.

Of the remaining population, 200,000 people will be arranged on the vast plain outside Zhenbei City, where Su Lun plans to build more than a dozen large towns, and the rest will be arranged on the stronghold to be built on the Hongyan River.

According to the climate conditions in the northern wilderness, Su Lun will stop if he is pushed another hundred kilometers at most. If he continues to go north, the weather will become colder, and the monsters on the wilderness will become more fierce. This hundred kilometers is Su Lun's plan. As the northern buffer zone of Zhenbei City.

In this way, the territory of the North Wind Principality will become very strange, long from east to west and narrow from north to south. But this is only temporary. Su Lun plans to gradually develop the southern part of the northern wilderness in the future, that is, continue to develop southward from Mirror Lake City.

The climate in the south of Mirror Lake City will become warmer. Although there is not as much rain in the south of Florence because of the mountains, it is still very good. As long as it is cleaned up here, food can be grown and more people can be fed.

And in the southeast area of ​​Zhenbei City, after crossing the swamp, there are grasslands and forests, which also have a lot of resources. Su Lun also plans to take this place into his pocket in the future.

Two days later, the pioneering team was finally ready, and Su Lun personally led the pioneering team to march along the Hongsha River to the east coast. According to the description on the map, going south along the Hongsha River is the direction of the sea.

Su Lun and the others went all the way down in boats, while the army marched on the shore. Because there are centaurs raising livestock, there are a lot of army horses in Zhenbei City. The team in front of them has one person and two horses. Even the workers They also rode horses.

After winding down for 300 kilometers, the Hongsha River will turn to another plain area, pass through a swamp area at the same time, and finally merge into the sea after going around half a circle.

This area is a barbaric area, where a large number of barbarian tribes live. Among them, there is a tribe of more than 300 barbarians. After the pioneering team from Zhenbei City arrived here, they asked to join. Although Su Lun did not expand here, with the rise of Zhenbei City, his reputation in the wasteland became more and more famous.

The various monsters defeated by Zhenbei City have helped Zhenbei City to spread its reputation to the outside world. These barbarians admire Su Lun's prestige and came here to serve him. Of course, part of the reason was that these barbarians were too poor. When Su Lun saw these barbarians, most of them were wearing tattered animal skins and their weapons were very simple.

The iron ax in the hand of the leader of the barbarian patriarch was stained with rust, and even many bubbles and unmelted iron slag could be seen. There are also many people with thick wooden sticks and some bone weapons, but although they are poor, these people are not bad. Su Lun left two barbarians who are familiar with the surrounding environment, and the rest are two barbarians who are familiar with the surrounding environment. The human warriors returned to Zhenbei City with these surrendered barbarians.

According to these barbarians, this plain is called Nidolia Plain. The most powerful tribe is the centaur, and then the orc, but the scale is not large. The centaur tribe has no more than 5,000 people, the orc tribe has 4,000 people, and the remaining Below are numerous small tribes.

As for these tribes, Su Lun has not moved for the time being. He is here to establish a transfer station for strongholds. Even if they are defeated, they will not be able to occupy this plain. In the end, there will still be new tribes and monsters occupying it, which is completely thankless.

Strictly speaking, the distance from Zhenbei City to the sea is not as far as 1,500 kilometers. This distance is mainly due to the twists and turns of the Hongsha River. If calculated according to the straight-line distance, Zhenbei City is about 1,000 kilometers away from the sea.

The Hongsha River originated from the depths of the Luotas Mountains in the north of Zhenbei City, and the Baishui River also originated here. A large alluvial plain has been formed between the two rivers for thousands of years.

The Baishui River flows east, then turns north, and finally flows into the ocean. In fact, the Baishui River is closer to the ocean, but Su Lun did not choose the Baishui River because he observed it when he was in the Star Realm. The sea area where it enters is too far north, and it will be frozen in winter. On the contrary, Hongsha River is a completely ice-free port.
