Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 351 After the War
The border gates of the empire were in full swing, and Owen was busy recruiting refugees, registering minor nobles, and forming the Northern Glory Alliance.

In addition to Owen, the Northern Glory Noble Alliance is composed of small nobles who make up the numbers. There are quite a few of them, and their strength is negligible. After all, they were looted by the barbarians who went south. It is good to be alive, so the so-called alliance is just empty shelf .

But regardless of whether it will be used or not in the future, it will be established first, not to mention that the small nobles who have taken refuge are more or less talented, they can not only fill the vacancy in the territory, but also serve as a layer of camouflage to the outside world. After all, the abnormality of the territory still needs to be covered up.

The Northland Noble Alliance, which has just been established and has been busy running around, seized the time to ask for support from the forces behind it, asking for all manpower, property and property. At the same time, it was busy building the city in a place that avoided the war between the two sides, and was also busy flying.

Although the Northland is full of disasters and disasters, the problem is that they have no choice, whether to return to the empire as a waste waiting to die, or stay in the Northland and take the risk to become a lord.

In fact, it is a good choice. Any war will end one day. No one side can fight the war forever. When the war is over, the Northland will still be their world, so even if the risk is high, most of the Northland nobles are still willing to fight the war. Stay and hold on.

In fact, the war has begun to enter its final stage. If the army of the barbarian kingdom had not relied on plunder all the way, it would have been unable to hold on. If it weren't for relying on the empire, it wouldn't last long.

But generally speaking, regardless of the fact that the frontier army has been beaten, the death toll is close to [-], and there are countless civilians, but the final victory belongs to the empire.

Not long ago, the empire sent two legendary mages, together with a legendary knight and two legendary warriors belonging to the frontier army, to implement beheading tactics. Although the goal was not achieved, it still caused a lot of damage to the top of the barbarian kingdom's army, and even almost severely injured them. The leader of the army.

Afterwards, the army of the barbarian kingdom launched a retaliatory attack, but these losses were nothing to the empire.

With the passage of time, the heavily-lost frontier army has been replenished, and the reserve army reorganized in the rear alone has as many as 10,000+ people, not counting the ones who came one after another.

It is conservatively estimated that within three months, the total strength of the empire's frontier army can reach 50, regardless of how many soldiers can be called elite soldiers. At least before these people die, the empire can mobilize more soldiers. This is the foundation of the empire.

Owen once estimated the war potential of the empire. If the cost is not considered, the total mobilization force can reach more than 2000 million. If there are more, it will collapse due to the complete collapse of logistics before the war begins.

Of course, it’s only in theory, because first of all, the whole country, including the traditional nobles and royal families, must obey the emperor’s order to realize it, and this is obviously impossible. Even if the end of the world comes, the possibility of realizing it is pitifully small, because of human nature. It's actually kind of fucked up.

In any case, with its incomparable war potential, it is only a matter of time before the empire wins. Even the commander of the barbarian kingdom's army is well aware of this, so he has already begun to transport supplies and slaves to the rear.

There is no point in killing slaves and performing blood sacrifices now. After all, several legends are nearby. There were no legendary mages before. Legendary knights and warriors chose to sit idly by for fear that they would never come back. Now that there are legendary mages, I dare not say anything. Go freely, as long as you pay a small price, there is no problem in destroying the blood sacrifice.

What's more, it is no longer a question of expanding the results of the war and burning the flames of war into the empire, but a question of how much can be gained by paying so much.

Fortunately, the empire's frontier army was unexpectedly rich, and the large number of war preparation warehouses stunned the ignorant barbarian kingdom army. At the same time, they felt sorry for it. Because of the lack of maintenance, a large amount of equipment rusted, piles of grain deteriorated, and a large amount of materials decayed.

These man-made losses alone exceeded the output of the barbarian kingdom for decades. This shows how fat the empire's frontier army is, and how distressed the barbarians will be when they see this scene, so hurry up and transport it to the rear.

Not only did the army of the Barbarian Kingdom gain a lot, but the Devil's Head and the Church of Flesh who joined halfway were full of food. However, when the final carnival was approaching, the members of these two evil organizations disappeared collectively.

The commander of the army of the barbarian kingdom suddenly felt bad. Compared with the people brought from the north, he never trusted the southern barbarians who joined the empire halfway, so he immediately ordered the army to be alert, and at the same time ordered the rear army responsible for escorting supplies to leave immediately.

It's a pity that it was too late, the magic circle that covered most of the barracks made him feel like falling into a kiln of ice.

With three legendary mages as the core, a mage group composed of more than a hundred archmages and senior mages jointly cast a forbidden spell that surpassed the legends. For a time, countless fires fell from the sky, the earth cracked, and the poisonous gas was wanton. Tens of thousands of barbarians were buried in one fell swoop. army.

If the commander of the barbarian kingdom's army hadn't acted decisively and sent [-] skeleton soldiers to the rear, all the survivors would give up their supplies and return immediately, and they might have lost even more.

Although a lot of supplies were obtained this time, more than 6 barbarians were lost, leaving only [-] to [-] people. The commander of the army of the barbarian kingdom did not know whether it was a loss or a profit, but he knew that this was just the beginning, and when the new batch of soldiers grew up , that is when they went south again.

Owen didn't pay attention to this battle all the time, especially after discovering the appearance of the legend, he directly recalled the Cyclopean Eagle, relying on the previously established intelligence network to obtain information.

Although there are all kinds of flaws, they are better than being discovered. With the legendary perception and intuition, the one-eyed giant eagle can't hide them.

The barbarians were defeated, and the imperial frontier army was busy rebuilding the border before they had time to celebrate. Many mages also stayed behind. They tried to build a magic barrier at the border to warn the barbarian army going south again, but this was obviously not an easy task. .

The Northland Noble Alliance also received supplies and population from the Empire. This move was not for poverty alleviation, but to build a barrier between the barbarians and the border of the Empire. When necessary, these Northland nobles had to Sending troops and food to assist the empire's frontier troops in fighting, the empire's things are not so easy to get.

Beicheng also fell into the eyes of the empire. It beheaded tens of thousands and resisted tens of thousands of barbarians who went south. It can be said that it was the only bright spot among the nobles of the North in this war. Naturally, it was regarded as a model, and all kinds of benefits were shared.

Of course, with the benefits, there must be all kinds of suspicion and suppression. After all, many forces in the empire have invested a lot in the Northland. With such a powerful force as Hydera, it is not conducive to their planning, but after seeing Those concerns dissipated after casualties were reported.

All the regular army establishments were almost disabled, and the militia recruited temporarily also suffered heavy casualties. It can be said that the losses were heavy. Even if there were enough population and resources, it would not be possible to recover within three to five years, because soldiers could not emerge just by clicking and deduction of gold coins. of.

Another reason is the high proportion of firearms.

Everyone knows that firearms are easy to use, but they are canceled again after large-scale equipment. Naturally, there is a reason.

Worrying about the huge hidden dangers caused by living among the people is just one of them. The biggest problem is the existence of extraordinary professionals.

Firearms are too easy to target, so although firearms are good, they are not suitable for large-scale equipment.
