Chapter 378 That Day, the Brave People Decided to Embark on the Journey of Steam

Expedition.

It sounds very domineering, but for the countries in the Yangyue world, this is almost a daily routine.

First of all, as the Little White Eagle of Yangyue, the Deep Forest Kingdom has almost never stopped its foreign wars. It is mainly known for its martial virtues, and every year after the autumn harvest, it will go to the western part of the Glowing Kingdom to rob food without fail, almost forming an aristocratic culture.

As the Khanate of Pemos, which can form an alien British-French combination with it and fight the Hundred Years War, it often finds opportunities to use its big iron hoof to violently attack the small border defense line of the Hongru Deep Forest, letting them feel what it feels like to be attacked.

There is no need to say more about the Wolf King Court. The "Extinguishing Sheep and Destroying Wolf: Across the Grassland" co-starred by them and the Shadow Church has been popular for a whole winter. The tribes in the wilderness all said it was good after watching it, and they all ran north happily.

Although the Lingxi Kingdom, which is isolated overseas and occupies a continent alone to play single-player games, has been peaceful for a long time, as a maritime civilization, the commercial talent and adventurous spirit engraved in their bones make them pull a ship to sail out to sea whenever they have nothing to do, which is more or less an expedition.

Therefore, in this huge Yangyue world, there is only the Huiguang Kingdom...

Slumped in a chair, holding a birdcage, with a cup of tea hanging next to him.

"What are you doing? Why are you all so busy and doing all these fancy things every day?"

"Learn from the master, coming from the north to the south to visit a club, it is considered a long journey, and a great adventure!"

So the nobles present were even a little unfamiliar after hearing the word "expedition". The first thing that came to their minds was the war more than ten years ago.

...No, no, that battle was clearly fought on their own territory. Lord Changge did not fight beyond the border. What kind of expedition is this?

After thinking carefully for a long time, I almost turned over all the historical knowledge in my mind.

I just remembered that more than a hundred years ago, when Shenlin went down the mountain to plunder for the first time, I vaguely remembered that a duke seemed to have brought people to the plateau and exchanged opinions with them in Shenlin.

Although this meeting was held quickly, and the duke was defeated after only one battle, tens of thousands of troops surrendered collectively like a group of grandsons, but at least they died in another country.

At least compared with other weird characters, it can barely be regarded as an expedition, right?

…

So this is our second time after a hundred years, how impressive!

It must be said that the glorious nobles who have been defeated repeatedly have at least maxed out their talents in funerals and weddings.

Therefore, they were silent for a moment, and actually became excited on their own.

"That's right, we're going on an expedition!"

"Haha, actually I've wanted to taste the girls from the grassland for a long time... No, I've wanted to promote the glory of my family for a long time!"

"Okay, to be honest, I have Admiral Pan Fengen, who can kill the Wolf King!"

Ji Ming, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed in his heart.

- Damn, are they opening a champagne market! ?

And not everyone here can live without war for decades, so that they can safely use all their skills to exploit the common people.

So the priests of various churches were stunned when they saw the nobles of the Radiance actually started to talk about how to divide the pork after their successful expedition.

In addition to being shocked, they were also thinking in their hearts, aren't we going to the Savage Plain? There are more steep and complex mountainous areas than here, aren't we going to the grassland to die!

But they are not other people's parents or teachers, and they have no responsibility to correct the children's wrong ideas.

So everyone pretended not to hear it, leaving them a beautiful sky, so that they could be cannon fodder more easily in the future.

But Earl Yanshan, who felt that he had lost all face, really couldn't stand it anymore. He knocked on the table with the golden ring on his thumb and scolded.

"Silence! This expedition is of great importance. The Lord Chosen obviously has something important to discuss. How can you rush to speak like this?"

Damn, you old guy are even more servile than us!

Facing the earl's suppression, the little nobles were MMP in their hearts, but they quickly put away their complacent virtues on their faces and apologized to the Lord Chosen.

"Please forgive our sins, Lord Chosen. It's just that it's an honor to cooperate with your church. We are excited!"

Ji Ming: I have no objection. I didn't even say anything. In fact, I love watching the fool open champagne at halftime.

The chosen one was generous. He waved his hand to express his kindness, enlarged the map of the Savage Plain, and continued.

"No problem. Since everyone thinks my suggestion is feasible, I will explain it in detail."

Ji Ming's complete plan was actually very simple. It was to let them work hard to recruit soldiers and gather people, and then go to Savage Plain to deliver food to the players.

There are three advantages to this.

First, if they want to succeed in the expedition, the current force is definitely not enough. They must spend a lot of money to hire various armed forces wandering in the south of the kingdom or even further.

They may be mercenaries who lick blood on the tip of the knife, or they may be strange people who lurk quietly, or even bandits raised by nobles, just like the fake bandits in Mr. Huang's house, who are specially used to cooperate with the black-eating-black.

But in any case, this group of scum is definitely a stumbling block that interferes with the players' happy game. In "The Struggle of Two Moons", this is a violation of the heavenly law.

So instead of letting them continue to spread out in clusters across the kingdom, it is better to let the hardworking nobles transform into dung beetles and push them into balls and send them directly to the Savage Plains for cremation.

As for this group of nobles and even the church, if they are desperate and force the people to participate, and recruit militia as cannon fodder...

"One piece of advice, expeditions are very difficult large-scale activities, and letting ordinary people without ranks participate is purely a drag, so you must bring the most reliable and powerful people, and be a select group!"

The second is that the player base camp on the Savage Plains is still in a difficult situation of difficulty in hiring. Almost all guilds are continuously expanding their recruitment, and the more official, the crazier, and even the number of recruits is not capped.

Because of the constraints of the real world, players are indeed reliable and can be competent for some important positions.

But the corresponding demand for salary is high, and many key positions have hard indicators for academic qualifications and work experience, so talents are really hard to come by.

Although the number of local natives hired and absorbed is large, they are also willing to do some heavy hard work for money.

But the total cost is an astronomical figure, and it can't fill all the labor gaps.

So in addition to continuing to raise the conditions and continue to make allies, obtaining prisoners of war legally through various means is the easiest and most preferred option for them to increase their production capacity.

But the wasteland is the territory of the Wolf King Court and they dare not go there. The kingdom... is mainly blocked by the pass and can't be plucked.

Therefore, relying on these noobs in the wild plains is really too much wolf and too little meat, so that the major guilds can only bite the bullet and open cross-level dungeons. It is almost normal to use blood and sacrifice to exchange for victory.

To use Lao Zhao's complaint at the meeting: "Raw melon eggs are not delicious, but if you don't eat them, you won't have any."

So as a gentle and kind game producer, although it is difficult for Ji Ming to help players save money, he can still open a source.

- Come on, baby, the freshest glow dung ball set, please enjoy it.

Third, the players have been a bit too much recently. In less than a month, they have united half of the southern part of the kingdom. What will happen if this continues?

Although the name of the plan is "The Fourth Disaster", Ji Ming is fighting for 100 days to be the savior, not to start a world war, so he should put on the brakes quickly.

The simplest way to put on the brakes is to divert attention, such as letting the players who are enjoying stealing other people's homes feel the feeling of having their homes stolen.

Anyway, I will be in charge at that time. No matter how bad the dung ball coalition is, they can pinch a few soft persimmons from the players and season them before serving them!

In addition to these three points, there is actually another half reason, which is derived from the news Ji Ming received from the wasteland.

——The Wolf King Court finally ended the spring offensive and began to gather its troops and turn from offense to defense.

In the short term, it is a good thing. At least there will be no war in the next quarter, and everyone can develop at ease and spend a peaceful summer.

It sounds like a good thing, but you are developing while others are also developing, and their power is originally greater than yours, and now their territory is also larger than yours.

And according to martial arts knowledge, when a person gathers his fists, it is usually to hit a charged critical hit and a heavy punch with full damage.

So with the strength of the players, can they withstand the autumn offensive that the Wolf King Court will definitely launch after the autumn harvest?

It's very difficult.

And now their attention is all on the colorful world of the Glowing Kingdom, and the growth rate of their real strength really makes Ji Ming a little worried.

So why not use a small dose of immunity before the real hard work comes, so that they can return their fiery eyes to their hometown.

In this way, when the Wolf King finally brings the old sheep head to climb the hillside, he will be very surprised when he finds that the hillside is full of light prism towers, magnetic storm coils, and Gat machine guns.

"This..."

After listening to the plan of the Chosen, the priests and nobles exchanged glances and found that it can only be described as thorough.

First of all, whether it is battlefield intelligence or the main pressure, all these difficult parts will be borne by the Shadow Church.

And they promised to provide a complete map of the Black Forest Territory and the Savage Plains, and when the coalition forces launch a surprise attack from north to south, they will send the main force from south to north to attack and echo.

As for the coalition forces, there is only one thing to do, that is, to prepare for war as soon as possible, to attack as soon as possible, and to destroy the pioneers' production bases as quickly as possible.

As for the latter, they are experienced. Who can't destroy? It's just a matter of fighting, killing, smashing, and then packing into a sack and leaving. It's really not difficult.

So the only question now is the "as soon as possible" in the front. How fast can they do it?

"Uh..."

Everyone pondered for a moment, and muttered for a long time, and finally seemed to have made a particularly important decision.

"One month!"

One month?

Ji Ming, who felt bad, quickly calculated another account.

First of all, the total number of the coalition forces is at least, and it must be counted according to "thousands". Then the only place that can accommodate their smooth gathering is Yanshan Territory of Earl Yanshan.

The distance from Yanshan Territory to Sunshine City is not much closer than that from Fengying Territory, and many places on the road have changed due to the chaos in recent days, which will definitely bring trouble.

Considering the various difficulties inherent in a large-scale advance of nearly 10,000 people, it would take at least a week for them to reach Sunshine City.

If we were more conservative, it might even be two weeks, but we had just arrived at the transfer station "Outside Sunshine City".

If you want to enter the barbaric plains, avoid being noticed, find a suitable valuable target, arrange it, surround it, and take action... you don't even dare to overcalculate, it will take another week.

In other words, even if the time wasted on resting outside Sunshine City, quietly moving in the wilderness, and dealing with various accidents on the road and other trivial tasks, it would still take the coalition forces three full weeks after setting off to achieve the first result.

Even so, this is the implicit premise that Ji Ming has added that "all problems can be solved smoothly", which can only be achieved under ideal circumstances.

But as we all know, plans can’t keep up with changes, and who knows what outrageous things might happen by then.

At the very least, players cannot sit back and wait for someone to lure them into the encirclement.

At that time, the coalition forces had spent a full month and a half of hard work. As a result, the dungeon had not been entered yet. As soon as they reached the town map outside, the hungry and thirsty boss rushed out of the level and treated them like roasted whole lambs in front of the prop shop. Torn by hand?

This is not possible. When the time comes, it must have the opposite effect and make the players' mentality take off on the spot.

So Ji Ming definitely couldn't allow them to prepare for a month, but he couldn't force it too much, lest the dung ball be sent for cremation early before it was pushed to its maximum.

Therefore, he made an agreement with the nobles and the church, taking one month as the bottom line. Every morning they set out, the Shadow Church would have a thousand more elites.

"Okay! Let's do it then!"

Seeing that the Divine Chosen dared to gamble so much, Earl Yanshan immediately agreed firmly, fearing that the other party would regret it.

Ji Ming also cooperated and expressed a little regret. He was silent for three seconds and sighed softly.

"It doesn't matter. As long as these damn pioneers can be eliminated, our church will fully cooperate with your actions. Please rest assured."

"God chooses justice!"

Everyone around the long table also made promises under the leadership of the count, saying that they would go all out to fight for everyone's interests and dignity.

While Ji Ming nodded in greeting, he cursed in his heart - Come on, even dogs don't believe what the nobles say!

But no matter what, that day, brave people decided to embark on the journey.

Of course, whether this "steaming" is the steaming of our business that is booming, or whether the enemy will regard it as the steaming of steamed buns with a steamer attached...

That's hard to say.
