Chapter 569: Edge of the War Zone (V)

Year 5, July 3, summer.

Western War Zone of the Allied Forces.

A month has passed since the Allied Forces captured the western part of the Sky Island Continent. The Allied Forces have used the original dividing line to divide themselves into two war zones, the East and the West, but the difference is that now the two war zones are working together under the same banner.

Temporary.

Some of the troops of the original Western Defense Line fled to the Crusaders' base with their technology and resources, and some chose to withdraw from this expedition world with their own resources and settle in a new world.

The lords discussed the issue of land distribution for a month. During this month, only those lords with outstanding military achievements were allocated new territories based on their military advantages, and the remaining 80% of the lords were still arguing with their colleagues with similar military achievements.

It's nothing more than their quarrels. The quality of the areas allocated will affect the development of the lords for a long time in the future.

There are two more popular areas, one is the defense ring located in the outer ring of the control area, and the other is the area located in the belly of the defense line that has been developed or is being developed by the Western Defense Line.

It is worth mentioning that the resource areas are all resource areas that can be developed and utilized in the short term. After all, the lords have no plan to use the first half of the year to open up wasteland and build mines.

No one wants to go to the wasteland.

The former residents helped them solve this problem. They have transformed part of the area from a barren forest into a production area that can be directly used. After the lords take over, they can deploy their own population to start working and producing resources.

The outermost lords need to bear the great defense pressure that may appear in the future, but at the same time they also have great survival and growth space... The future is promising.

Any piece of meat that can be torn out is a piece of meat. The "no man's land" outside the outer defense zone is a resource. The vast no man's land is the source of resources for the lords of the outer defense circle.

As the first-line defense lords, they can collect a large amount of spoils from the attackers as their additional output, which is of great help to the lords' new technology research and development.

The biggest advantage...maybe it can still maintain a large number of standing troops.

As for the remaining lords, their luck is not too bad. There are still quite a lot of undeveloped resources in the defense zone... They just need to put down their outposts in those areas and slowly develop them from scratch.

To repay the war debts borne by the lords of the western defense zone.

War debts are fair. Everyone's debts are the same. If you really discuss this thing, these lords can talk about it from today to ten years later.

Or in other words... the distribution of war debts has been allocated when the territory is allocated. Lords with sufficient resources can pay off their debts faster and easier.

Standard Mining, the Ring Island Alliance, and the Eastern Defense Zone.

There is no aid in the world without reason.

When you plan to make an enemy of a country, all kinds of weapons will grow out of the ground, which makes people sigh that this is a gift from nature.

You can only get investment if you show your value, and investors do not ask for returns... What you do is part of the return.

"Don't forget our agreement." The official in the standard mining uniform reminded.

Of course, some small formal returns are still required. This is not a charity event.

"We will repay the aid within three months." Gao Yu nodded, but his eyes could not help but look at the wooden crates placed next to Standard Mining.

Aid from United Mining.

New rifles, enough to equip an army.

Not the old-fashioned muskets that they got that needed to use paper shell fixed bullets, but weapons that can really be called rifles.

Rifles that use metal fixed bullets, firing pins, seamless steel pipes and rifling.

As a lord from the same world, he certainly knew what this meant.

"The rifles used by those guards are better." Li Xiang's voice fell into Gao Yu's ears through private transmission, and his eyes fell on the guards wearing dark blue Standard Mining uniforms near the wooden crates.

There was a prominent magazine exposed at the bottom of the rifles carried by the guards, indicating that they were using more complex magazine rifles.

The weapons they provided to themselves could be converted into this kind of magazine rifles after modification, but it seemed that they did not want to provide themselves with this kind of rifle that could fire multiple rounds.

"If we modify it ourselves, it won't be worth it." Li Xiang continued, "We may need to cut the lower part of the barrel, cut the seamless steel pipe and add parts... I can let my elf craftsmen think of a way to make parts."

The dean will tell him that it is only because the production cost of a single-shot rifle is extremely low, a steel pipe, a piece of wood, an airtight rubber ring, an integrated metal bolt and a rune electric ignition component plus a trigger are completed.

The magazine part is omitted, and the airtightness is not so perfect. If the integrated parts can be used, there is absolutely no need to combine parts... In the end, the production time required for this simplified rifle is only 20% of that of a magazine rifle.

Ji Lin was very satisfied with the extreme production capacity and the extreme cost-effectiveness.

But it is not cheap.

Gao Yu didn't think so much. No matter how simple the single-shot rifle looks, it is much better than the flintlock firearm he is holding now.

He, Li Xiang, and Hui Xia all chose the same outer ring defense area as their new territory. They lost a large number of soldiers in the battle and are now in urgent need of replenishing their equipment.

The system will only resurrect people, and weapons and equipment will be lost where they were.

Gao Yu wanted to take this opportunity to replace his troops with new equipment, and Li Xiang of the Elf Lord also had the same idea... As for the Undead Lord Hui Xia, the undead have no human rights.

The old problem of the difficulty of transformation of the skeleton soldiers came back. Their soul fire could not teach them how to use rifles. Their simple brains were worse than the constructs when operating long-range weapons.

However, this pile of skeletons can also greatly reduce the damage of rifles because of their small bullet surface.

The higher-level undead troops have some wisdom and can use rifles, but they have their own undead magic, and the demand for firearms is not that great... Or the transformed constructs can't use rifles at all, and they won't deliberately create eight hands just to use eight rifles to fire at the same time.

The ghost troops are well adapted to firearms, but the spiritual troops are extremely difficult to obtain. Hui Xia has only one elite unit in his hand, which will periodically release the dead horror heavy cavalry that will erode the desolation.

The next level lich can already defeat the enemy with necromancy and plague magic, and does not need firearms, which are useless.

Huixia's undead technology tree is more earthly. The underworld undead lord who runs around with the desolate plague and a bunch of skeletons is kicked back to his hometown by a group of people before his butts can even get warm.

Gao Yu remembered the destructive rain of fire that fell from the sky during the attack that night, destroying a half-fortress of the Teutonic Knights in a straight line. The knights' soldiers were crushed by overwhelming firepower before they even had time to react.

Standard Mining's technology...

If I stand opposite United Mining, then what is waiting for me may be such ruthless and overwhelming firepower.
