Chapter 695: Autumn Harvest in the Third Era 2944
Chapter 704 Autumn Harvest in the Year 2944 of the Third Era
"It seems that our plan can be carried out!" Roland said excitedly while looking at the endless wheat waves outside the city.
"..." Yun Feng's mouth twitched. As long as you are happy, after all, you are more troublesome than vampires. Even capitalists shed tears when they see you! These ten sets of knight armor are full of the sweat and tears of the great wise man Yun Feng...
"This year should be a bumper year, right? Isn't this enough food?" Darien Nightblade looked at the "rolling" wheat waves with some surprise. After all, he really couldn't imagine how much food the entire kingdom would consume in a year.
"It looks like a lot, but in fact, there is still a lot missing!" Before Yun Feng and Roland could speak, Omsk, who was in a daze, said listlessly. It seems that since the establishment of the kingdom, the entire Lagrande has never stopped having food problems!
"Yes, we have to buy it! After all, we still need to leave some emergency food for Ishmir and Apophis Breo!" Roland nodded. Ishmir's population problem is not big now. It's nothing more than consuming a few more bags of food. But Apophis Breo's harvest this year has at least been reduced by half, which is very hurtful! The food needed by thousands of people in the entire Lion Territory is not a small amount! Although King Elon promised to provide assistance to Apophis Breo, it is always more reassuring without his own people.
"That's right." Darien Nightblade nodded knowingly. He certainly knew how badly the Lion Territory of Apophis Breo fought! It's no exaggeration to say that the dog brain has been beaten out! This battle directly destroyed the war potential of the Lion Territory in the next few years. Apophis Breo will have to live with its tail between its legs for a long time.
"It's September now, and the autumn harvest is about to start! The weather has been good recently, and the sun is shining brightly. The army that has been idle for a summer should also be active!" Roland looked at the sky and said calmly.
"Omsk, let the soldiers enter combat readiness! I don't want blind enemies to break into the kingdom and affect the autumn harvest!" Roland ordered directly and forcefully. The autumn harvest is a race against time with God. If a continuous rain in autumn passes, the wheat that has not been harvested will be useless, so it is important to pack and store it quickly while the sky is clear and cloudless!
"Okay, Your Highness! Starting tomorrow, all soldiers will enter combat readiness patrol! I promise that every inch of the field will be under the protection of our soldiers!" Omsk hammered his chest and said seriously.
"Well, I believe in your loyalty, but I don't believe in the bottom line of the orcs!" Roland thought of the unpleasant things with a dark face. Roland finally knew about the battle in the Dark Forest. The Star Elves informed all the allies of the battle situation, which made Roland know that the Dol Gudo orcs had set their sights on the Kingdom of Lagran again! Roland hasn't found bad luck with them yet, but these bastards have set their sights on Roland first? If Iovia hadn't taken the star elves to beat them up in the Dark Forest, Roland probably wouldn't have known that there were wolf scouts targeting him.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, no orc can appear alive in front of you!" Omsk said firmly. The current Raglan Kingdom has greatly increased its military strength and is no longer the small force that can be easily controlled by orcs. If the Raglan Kingdom is really angry, they are fully capable of using human lives to build a fortress belonging to the orcs! Just tell me if Gangbada and Dol Guddo are afraid!
"Give my regards to the brothers for me. They will have to work hard during this period!" Roland nodded. The Raglan Kingdom had no choice but to pull out infantry to fill the long defense line! In the final analysis, it was still due to the scarcity of cavalry. Although Roland didn't lack horses, he lacked food to feed the war horses! You don't really think that you can feed the horses by giving them a handful of grass? Without eggs, soybeans, and wheat to supplement nutrition, the horse will lose weight faster than you lose weight! You wouldn't expect a group of skinny horses to charge with fully armed cavalry, would you?
...
This year's autumn harvest was very peaceful. The entire North was quietly harvesting crops. Everyone was working without interfering with each other. Whether it was Dale, Raglan, or Aquavia on the other side, everyone was racing against time! The orcs were also very tactful and didn't come to harass them for a long time. Except for some hungry orcs in the wilderness who rushed into the neat gun formation like they were looking for death, the real elite orcs did not show up...
Thanks to the forbidden spell war at the old pass! This battle made Raglan famous! If the dragon riders only made the Ringwraiths feel difficult, then the Ringwraiths were really afraid of this forbidden spell! In addition, the three Ringwraiths in the Gunbadda Fortress were almost beaten into autism, and the Ringwraiths became more cautious about the Kingdom of Raglan...
What Roland didn't know was that he was almost killed by the Witch King of Angmar in this battle, which was also the main reason why the Witch King of Angmar sneaked back to Mordor. The Witch King of Angmar, who had not yet recovered from his injuries, suffered new injuries in this forbidden spell duel. After thinking about it, he finally decided to return to Mordor to welcome his king back to the world!
With the last grain in the warehouse, Roland's hanging heart was completely put down. The rest was to dry the grain and husk it. The wheat grains were eaten by people, and the bran could also be used as a meal for the horses! With the new grain in hand, Roland was much more confident. After all, he had never dared to make any big moves before. The fragile economy of the kingdom did not support Roland's ambitions comparable to Li Er and Zhu Si. Roland, who had been wasting several months in the castle, was almost maggoty! In addition to riding and hunting every day, the only thing left was playing Nyx...
Now that he has food as a basic support, Roland dares to look at the land in the south again. However, it is obvious that Roland is a person with high expectations but low skills. The current military strength and infrastructure of the Kingdom of Lagran are not enough for Roland to expand his territory. Coupled with the serious constraints on productivity, our King Roland's plan to march south has been ruined again...
"Ah~ So boring!" Roland lay on the table. Why didn't an orc suddenly jump out to declare war on him, so that he would have the opportunity to go out and vent his anger! After all, Roland's kidneys can't bear studying the art of human structure with Nix at home all day long!
"Bang!" The door was rudely knocked open. Roland raised his eyelids and wanted to say a few greetings with a high content of mother. As a result, he found that it was the Grand Duke of Lordaeron, Vanerwe, who was appointed by him, who rushed in in a hurry.
"What's wrong? Did your wife give birth? So anxious?" Roland teased patiently. After all, it is difficult for the elegant Elf King to have such a violent scene.
"You're still asking what happened? It's urgent! Your mercenaries are killing like crazy in the south!" Van Erwei looked at Roland in shock.
"You don't know?" Van Erwei asked tentatively.
"What should I know? What happened?" Roland was confused.
"There are orc clans in the south crossing the Rapid River and want to settle on the Lagran Plain. They happened to be discovered by those top goblin scouts. Your general Omsk had already led the goblin knights to chase these orcs!" Van Erwei twisted his face and said bitterly. He was conscripted by Omsk because he was too close to these people that day. Now these goblin knights are killing and killing with Omsk to the south bank. Van Erwei, who had a premonition that things were out of control, hurriedly ran all the way to the Rapid City...
At this moment, on the north bank of the Rapid River, a group of goblin knights in chain armor were chasing the orc clans that they had just dispersed.
I've been stuck these days, and the update will be a little unstable. Please tolerate it. In addition, I ask for monthly tickets and rewards! Thank you for your support!
