Utopia

"You mean that in the past two months, our soldiers have lost a total of 10,000? How is that possible? Are the soldiers below all cattle and sheep from outside who can be slaughtered at will?"

"Your Majesty, this is true. Those wild and cruel dark elves not only use guns to deal with our soldiers, but also use a spell to make the soldiers..."

"What?"

"Total destruction. And the dark elves also like to seize our weapons and equipment. If they leave behind anything... they will also blow it to pieces with an explosive fireball."

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Maokoleta Rufus van Kaan, the king of the Kingdom of Kaan, was furious with these dark elf expeditions that were obviously not regular troops.

First of all, he didn't know how to make guns and weapons. He had established the Kingdom of Kaan purely by relying on the black gunpowder he barely remembered, as well as metal smelting technology and the advanced tactics used by the world conquerors who had won consecutive victories in his hometown.

If these elves still used primitive wooden bows, he would have the confidence to defeat them with his square shields and square formations.

However, the dark elves obviously already have their own industrial system, and the organized combat system is even more of a headache for him.

What about the elves who are said to be lone rangers? Or assassins who hide in the shadows and engage in conspiracy and even assassination?

Why are the elves he encounters now basically in teams of ten or even hundreds of members?

An expedition team composed of ten elves is easy to deal with. He prayed to the black ring in his hand for the ability to transmit magical power, so that the magician who appeared in his kingdom could ensure the invincibility of his army.

But it was replaced by a dark elf expedition team with hundreds of members. Their rifle grenades plus mortar shells, and rockets that suddenly flew over...

In short, this is too terrible.

Not to mention the dark elf sharpshooters, which are much more terrible than archers.

The speed of bullets is faster than the speed of gunfire. The sound of gunfire will only be heard after his magicians and grassroots generals fall down.

It's too late.

After firing guns and cannons, dark elves basically won't stay in one place until they die. And their machine gunners are quite powerful. If they don't fire more than 100 rounds of bullets in a row, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Kahn don't know where the bullets come from.

For this reason, as a king, he is also thinking about whether to vigorously develop his own rockets. After all, he can't beat the dark elves in magic. The only two ways to make the dark elves suffer are hand-to-hand combat and long-range concealed fire assault.

Others...

"Let me confirm again whether the dark elves are fighting with us in the jungle according to the tactics I formulated before."

"That's right. Except for a few guys with brown skin and gray hair who don't wear helmets and masks, they have been besieged by our soldiers. But they rely on the guns in their hands and the black stones that explode when thrown out..."

"Grenade."

"Yes, grenade. Once those grenades are thrown out, our soldiers can't get close."

Not only can't get close, the power of a grenade in the jungle is much stronger than that on the ground. And according to the report learned from another subordinate before, the dark elves will use 6mm mortar shells as grenades.

This matter can not be laughed off casually.

Compared with King Kahn's troubles, Turan, who walked eastward along the south bank of the White Silver River with hundreds of members, came to the easternmost end of the south bank of the White Silver River's outlet. Although the officials above focused on developing the land on the north bank of the White Silver River, in her opinion, such a place with almost no indigenous people under her feet was just facing the other side of the seven o'clock direction of Ma Le City, which was about 78 kilometers away.

So it was not just her, but more than 5 explorers here worked together to build a special 27-meter-wide area. 】The port town of square kilometers has established an unimpeded trade route with the northern city of Marle.

Of course, this is just a town built privately by these explorers and has nothing to do with the Kingdom of Negan. After all, as the exploration goes deeper, the land supply lines are very likely to be attacked by the natives. For this reason, the sea or airship transportation is a better choice for these explorers who run out to search for treasures.

"Hey. Turan, your team is back. What did you get outside?"

"The bronze weapons on the natives and their natural gemstone necklaces are good trophies. But... can you buy a few cars from Marle? It's too painful to walk from Solo City to such a Ruyi Town in a straight line of 24 kilometers."

"It's better to drive a boat than to drive a car. If we drive, we will leave wheel marks to lead the natives."

"We will also leave footprints when we walk on the ground."

For Turan's words, the temporarily elected female mayor also looked helpless. After all, the current Ruyi Town had worked overtime to build a 5-meter-high wall with a bottom layer of 4 meters and a total length of 32 kilometers. It is located in the south of Ruyi Town and has a certain inclination angle on both the inner and outer layers. And if there was no 25-meter-wide river to the west of Ruyi Town, which also flows from south to north into the estuary of the White Silver River, it is estimated that these explorers would have to work overtime to rush the work.

"If we didn't have an expert in earth magic, this wall would be really hard to build."

"Isn't it just piling up the soil and stones under your feet, and then repeatedly pressurizing and compacting them? Our priests are not so stupid that they really pick up tools and run outside to find cement, right?"

"How is that possible? We have cavemen to help. Their ability to reinforce soil blocks is really amazing, saving us a lot of time. What's more, we have some minotaurs to help watch over the docks, and I have recorded their opinions here."

As the female mayor said, the wall of Ruyi Town is on the one hand to use the priests to launch the power to make the soil and stones under their feet compact by themselves, and on the other hand, the cavemen use their special abilities to harden the wall to a considerable extent.

At least the crossbow cannons fired directly from outside the city will cause the crossbow arrows fired to deflect at the moment of contact with the wall.

So if they want this town to continue to exist, they may have to seek more assistance.

For example, the navy.

A naval ship anchored here for a long time can definitely make the natives outside the town understand what is forbidden to enter.

[This book-chasing app was recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s really useful. I use it to read and listen to books while driving or before going to bed. You can download it here ]

But the navy’s ships will not dock in Ruyi Town for no reason, unless there is something in Ruyi Town that is worth the navy’s long-term stationing here.
