Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Two days later, the two thousand soldiers who participated in this outbound battle set out. The main combat troops set off from the old capital Jinhui City, and directly took an iron-armored ship to reach Yinsong City. Then they parted ways with the flanking troops and stood straight. Lanjing City, a fief of the Barkley border, left.

At the same time, according to the plan designated at the combat meeting, the two flanks of Montenegro Port and Silversong City also entered the Barkley border from the east and west sides, and began to invade the vassal and noble forces under the command of the Grand Duke on the border around them.

Compared to the attack on the old capital, this large-scale military operation could no longer rely on convenient river transportation. The tributary of the Ralph River immediately turned west after passing through Silver Song City and headed west towards the wizard kingdom Daus... ...After entering the Barkley border, the combat troops could only rely on foot to fight.

This is also one of the main reasons why Harvey put a large number of war beasts into this battle. Whether it is used for long-distance marching or transporting war materials, ordinary cattle, horse and wheelbarrows cannot bear the logistics transportation needs of the North Army. No one can easily pull the magic powered cannon weighing thousands of kilograms except the alchemy camel beast.

...

Ivan, the staff officer who went on a war with the main force, saw a man in the officers' team, which surprised him.

"Mr. Knight, why are you... coming with us again?"

Dickinson was a little inappropriate in his ordinary soldiers' uniforms of the Northern Army. He did not wear any military rank emblem indicating his position on his dark black uniform, and naturally he was not equipped with any weapons. He stood in a team of middle and lower-level officers, looking very handsome. A little cramped.

"I...I applied to Commander-in-Chief Pierce to join the battle against the Grand Duke of Barkley's Border, but the Lord of the City refused my request and only allowed me to set off with the team...but I did not allow me to participate in the battle in person. ”

Ivan smiled and said, "The City Lord and the Commander are not planning to humiliate you with this. A newly enlisted ordinary soldier also needs to go through at least three months of training before he can first master the shooting and use of magic guns. It takes a long time to cooperate with the Magic Power Cannon, and it cannot be started overnight."

He paused, looked at Dickinson's outfit, and teased kindly: "Also, there are no knights in the North Army. Apart from the special combat squad composed of blood warriors, we have almost no chance to fight the enemy in close combat with each other, except for the special combat squad made of blood warriors. ...So the fighting style you've been good at in the past is not suitable for joining our operations."

Dickinson was not angry and nodded, "It's okay, it's good to let me go with the army. Even if I can't go to the front line in person, I can do some logistics within my ability."

Yifan was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why do you have to go to war with the army? Isn't it good to stay in the old capital and ask the city lord for a position that matches the identity? The city lord praised you personally."

The chief knight shook his head and said, "After the city lord took control of the capital, he did not... as everyone expected... and could not wait to replace His Majesty the Grand Duke ascended the throne, but instead exempted taxes and labor, punished criminal nobles, and stabilized the situation in the city. ... He even sent troops to the border to mediate the war. Now... He sent troops to conquer the Grand Duke of the Barkley Border for the people who were invaded by neighboring countries, and regained the food and property that he had been looted and plundered..."

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his face turned slightly red. "As the chief knight of the Saint Valen capital, the responsibility for defending the people and the land should be borne by me and the Knights of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King I am willing to surrender and seek death... Let me pay off their debts and responsibilities on their behalf! "

Ivan sighed a little sigh and said in admiration: "Although the city lord has praised you, I still want to repeat - you are indeed a real knight!"

After saying that, he turned around and looked around, leaned into Dickinson's ear and whispered: "I want to join the North Army and fight to protect the country and the people... It's not difficult, if you want...I You can try to recommend you to the upper peak of the General Staff Department. The city lord and commander are unwilling to let you condemn yourself as an ordinary soldier, but it should be no problem to join the General Staff Department!”

...

North border, Spark City.

Harvey, who had just received the report of the war, breathed slowly, turned to Reiner and Asdaren in the study, "I hope this overseas military operation can harvest enough food and supplies that we can last until the harvest season. .”

As long as we can successfully survive this food shortage for more than a month, not only the east expansion base of Xinghuo City, but also the large tracts of farmland around Fengyuan City are about to usher in harvests - although the enchanted grains in the southern area have not yet been popularized, wheat yields and The quality will be slightly inferior, but there is no problem to fill the stomachs of a large number of migrant people.

The Southern Chamber of Commerce, which had good cooperation, also sent back news that it was willing to temporarily allocate some stored food for winter to transport it to St. Valen, part of which was used to relieve hungry people in the areas of Montenegro Port and Silversong City, which had just experienced the baptism of war. Their population continued to go north to fill the daily food consumption of Starfire City, a huge wasteland city with a skyrocketing population.

The continued foreign war and population growth during this period have put all production departments of Xinghuo City on tremendous pressure. Harvey was worried and finally waited for good news that was enough to surprise him - the Dongtuo Base was reclaimed in early spring this year The harvest of arable land and farmland is expected to far exceed the original production target, achieving an unprecedented grain output!

Whether it is wheat planting or the intercropping technology of oil crops and cassava, they can harvest high-quality food that can feed more than 100,000 people this autumn. Refined flour, vegetable oils, starch products... will be continuously shipped out from the processing plant built in advance after the harvest season, and then quickly transported to Xinghuo City by rail trains, and finally delivered to the tables of urban residents.

In the future, not only will farmland continue to be reclaimed, but planting plans for various cash crops will also be carried out one after another. A pasture that is even larger than the Xinghuo City farm has been opened up in the southwest of the closed eastern basin. The staff of the breeding group have already sent many young animals in advance to start raising them, and will provide better quality meat products for the people in the future.

For the people who actively participated in the East Expansion Plan, Harvey also followed his original promise - those who already have the official resident status of Xinghuo City were rewarded with generous salary allowances and the right of priority enrollment for their children, and those who have not yet obtained the official resident status do not need to wait for the six-month observation period, and directly issued ID cards as encouragement.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one forum!

In addition, in order to further increase efforts to develop the barren granary of the East Expansion Base, Harvey also plans to build a hardened road for hundreds of miles parallel to the railway line to make up for the railway whose transportation frequency is almost saturated, as a supplementary transportation support.

Of course, the hundreds of miles between Xinghuo City and the East Expansion Base cannot be reached smoothly by riding a bicycle alone, and the magic motorcycle used only for military operations is not suitable for ordinary daily transportation - the most suitable is the war beast that was originally used as a troop transport vehicle. With a little modification and equipped with a magic power core and four rubber wheels, it can be directly "transferred from military to civilian" and turned into a civilian magic power truck for transporting goods!
