Chapter 88 Epilogue: Stop
(Let's stop this copy here. To compensate you, I will add one more update today and the next two days on top of the two updates. So, here's the end.)
(Cover your face!)
Intensity, the Wangting clans encountered an unprecedented intensity of raiding operations on the battlefield.
The opponent seemed to know the exact location of each of their troops, make corresponding deployments, and then bite back and eat their reconnaissance troops.
All the Wangting troops have been restricted to the area advancing inward. In the past, they always attacked others, but now they are unexpectedly bound by the plan and become the besieged party.
After the Wangting lost 400 giant wolf cavalry at one time, the opponent's amazing combat power made the clan leaders hesitant. They hesitated and dared not send a large number of troops again. They could only try to send expendable scouts to test one by one.
These expendable reconnaissance scouts are often eliminated by the opponent after the enemy is lured deep into the enemy. The opponent can concentrate superior forces in a local area to eliminate the scouts they sent out. They can only change their strategy and let the scout cavalry withdraw immediately when they see the enemy troops.
The price is that the scope of reconnaissance is limited to a very small range, and they see enemies everywhere.
This directly makes them misjudge the total number of border troops, thinking that the number of people who are against them is close to the number of their own troops, or even more.
The current mobile force of the border army is only 10,000, and the deception tactics adopted by Ji Lin are extremely successful.
These 10,000 people are the group of people with strong physical fitness among the lords' troops that he carefully selected.
If the royal court needs to fight against Ji Lin, it will slow down the speed of the troops collecting resources; if it does not fight against Ji Lin, it will cause itself to become a blind man completely.
The royal court clan hesitated and chose the latter, concentrating all its forces on defense to consolidate the results it has achieved so far, and letting the troops formed by the lords to fight against them are not as good as the troops formed by the clans. The troops formed by the lords are easily ambushed, and even the cavalry following behind them are also involved.
Because of their own hesitation, they lost the most critical time, which completely cut off information and supplies.
The royal court did not want to give up the fight for the giant beast that commanded all the beasts in the deep forest. If they found the giant beast, they could set off a beast tide, and they could barely maintain their progress by hunting alone.
The clan leaders were angry for a few days, and they did not dare to act rashly in the face of the unknown enemy situation. The more unclear it was, the less they dared to act.
They organized another team of 1,000 people to go out for reconnaissance. This time, only one in ten of the reconnaissance team survived, and they were annihilated as a whole.
Just by constantly adding fuel, Ji Lin added nearly 4,000 people to the battle results. The more failures, the more he retreated. Once those who are good at mobile warfare stopped, they would fall into conservatism and be at a loss.
The right to control information, the eyes from the sky provided Ji Lin with enough information to change the battlefield.
In the end, he was better in this exchange.
Just because they did not come out, it did not mean that Ji Lin would not give them a few ruthless blows. He asked the red dragon to catch a steam spider, let it be tied with crystal ore explosives, and airdrop one on average every week to teach these clans a lesson.
Every time he threw it towards the place with the most people.
The bomb trucks that fell from the sky gave these medieval armies a significant shock.
Time passed.
He successfully used this tactic to slow down their advance without triggering a large-scale direct battle. Now that the sixty-day deadline was approaching, their progress had just exceeded 60%.
They had exceeded their task, which gave them more time to focus on rooting out the problem. There were no camps left in the entire grassland.
The Royal Court found that their clan camps had been reduced to scorched earth after spending a huge amount of time.
They wanted to launch a large-scale looting, but they were powerless.
They went on an expedition to the west, where there might still be places with abundant water and grass. The divided Royal Court was looking for its own way out...
That was a story that had nothing to do with these lords.
‘End, settlement in progress...’
Ji Lin began to check his gains from this trip.
‘End of identity: temporary commander of the border army’
‘All settlements have been taken into account, compensation has been applied, and the acquisition limit has been reached. You get 50% of the resources used by the territory buildings. ’
No special equipment was obtained, but there were a lot of resources. If so many resources were piled up, they would form four mountains, mountains in the physical sense.
Most of them were stones and wood, because food production and consumption were concentrated in the daily life of the territory. Buildings were not the biggest consumer of food, and such a large number of resources allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief for a short time.
If it is described in an easy-to-understand way, Ji Lin obtained 50% of his GDP in nine days. Gross domestic product (GDP) is the final result of the production activities of all permanent units in a country (or region) within a certain period of time.
These final results were fully invested in the construction of the territory.
This metaphor is not accurate and there are large errors, but it is roughly the meaning.
These resources are not easy to digest because of the limited production capacity of the territory, which is enough for his territory production facilities to continue to operate at high speed for several months.
It is really a rich trouble.
And Ji Lin intends to use these resources to improve the environment of the territory first, enhance the attractiveness of the territory, and then attract some people from other cities. Although the system will periodically provide them with supplies, the cycle is too long and the curve is not smooth. In order to stabilize this curve, Ji Lin's choice is to go to the city-state to attract some people.
Scientific research projects will be a money-eating beast in the future, and every project is a bottomless pit.
And Ji Lin still needs to slowly catch up, and make up for the technology he skipped before, so that his territory can gradually move towards a city. There are still many things he needs to do to build a stable self-circulating system for it, develop people's livelihood, and improve the economy, and this is just the first step.
He has a pretty good start, and during this slow transition period, he has a period of rest.
Ji Lin is not in a hurry to be promoted. The battles in the colonial era are much more cruel than the current stable daily life.
The endless war extends from the land to the sea, and the war ships push them from the land to the sea. Of course, there is a considerable difference between the lords near the coast and those deep in the depths of the continent.
This golden time for development must be seized.
"Return."
He said to the light curtain.
‘Received’
‘Ready to return to the transmission’
