548 Great Harvest
And the mountain road is very difficult and difficult to walk, according to Xiao Feng's scruples, even if Huaguo is known as the difficult ancient Shu road, it is nothing compared to the mountain road here.
It would be a difficult task to march in such a mountain, and everywhere there were small roads for one person to pass, and a team of 300,000 people could be stretched into a thin line hundreds of miles long.
In addition, it is very easy to get lost in the mountains, and you have to guard against natural disasters such as rockfalls, flash floods, and mudslides that fall from the mountains.
300,000 people crossed the reckless mountains, and if there was no easy way to walk, it would take thirty days to cross the continent from Mesodis, and the consumption of people and horses along the way was astronomical.
In addition to natural and man-made disasters and so on, coming out of the mountains, there must be 50,000 or 60,000 dead and wounded.
Therefore, he very much wanted to know how these half-orcs had transported the 300,000 army over, and he had to find their way and block it to avoid a second sneak attack.
And after capturing so many captives, Charles Sman and them really smelled it from the mouths of these half-orcs through various means.
It turned out that these guys, coming from Mesodis, had a fairly easy mountain road in the first half, and in the second half, they simply relied on drilling beetles and mole people, as well as rabbit people, these half-orcs who were good at digging holes and civil engineering operations, and dug a lot of tunnels in the mountains.
Hearing this, Xiao Feng was also stunned, these half-orcs are really ruthless enough, they actually rely on manpower to dig tunnels?
But when you think about it, for humans, the rock walls that are difficult to shake are not a problem at all for these orcs who are good at digging holes.
He had seen it with his own eyes, and the hard stone wall was almost as papier-mâché in front of the claws of the Driller and the Mole Man.
Not to mention the bunny people who are also good at burrowing, and the rat people!
According to Charlesman's interrogation from the captives, the rabbits and ratmen were at the lowest level in the Orc Alliance.
The stature is not tall enough, and the combat effectiveness is not strong, except for being good at giving birth to children and digging holes, there are basically no other specialties.
In the past, they were only left behind as baggage soldiers, but this time it came in handy, and it is said that tens of thousands of rabbits and rat people were consumed just by digging through these tunnels.
In a half-orc society, this seems very normal.
But what made Xiao Feng even more curious was how they were positioned between the underground and the mountains.
Although he doesn't know much about civil engineering, he also knows that digging tunnels is not such a simple job, especially digging through a big mountain, when you enter the belly of the mountain, how do you position yourself?
In the pitch black underground, without modern tools, how do you know where you are? Where is the progress of the project, and is it digging in a straight line?
And between the continuous mountains, how do you position yourself, after all, in the mountains, the trend of the mountains twists and turns, and people can easily lose their way when they walk along the mountains.
What's more, if you are working in a mountainous area, the shortest distance is naturally to walk in a straight line, but how easy is it in the mountainous area?
Even humans can't guarantee that they can accurately position themselves in the mountains and make the construction of the project go in a straight line, how did these orcs do it?
Charlesman was also very curious about this, and then the results of the interrogation from the half-orcs also opened the eyes of the two of them, these half-orcs, it seems that they are not all stupid, and there are many smart people among them!
It turns out that in the underground, they rely on rats with a keen sense of smell to locate their positions, and a special kind of rat will be arranged in front of them to open the road in a straight line.
In the mountainous areas, they relied on the golden eagles flying above their heads to position themselves and let the project be constructed in a straight line.
In this way, relying on this special group of civil engineering soldiers in the army, they simply dug out tunnels in the mountains in a hurry, and then the 300,000 troops drilled out of the mountains in this way.
The mystery was finally solved, and Xiao Feng immediately asked the team to lead the team to find the tunnel.
However, the search party brought back that many of those tunnels had been blown up, and apparently the orcs were afraid that they would chase them along the passage, so they destroyed the tunnels.
Xiao Feng had people build a simple castle at the mouth of the tunnel, and once another orc came from here, he would immediately light the wolf smoke and notify the rear.
At the end of a big battle, repelling the enemies from both sides, Xiao Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Moreover, the 600,000 half-orc army that came this time did not dare to say that they were completely annihilated by him, and most of them were also annihilated by him.
In a few years, he should not dare to make a mistake easily, but after this time, Xiao Feng felt that there should be a few years of peace.
And during this time, what he has to do in this tribal territory is naturally to seize the time, recuperate, accumulate strength, and prepare for the future.
As for the war between humans and orcs, it is far from over, and it will definitely be more intense in the future, so they should be prepared.
After this battle, because the previously liberated road construction team was escorted back to Riverrun City for transformation, the number of humans on the Pannivela Peninsula has exceeded 500,000.
During the war, there were also many human tribes who came out of the mountains and joined them, so the population of the base has skyrocketed.
This is definitely a good thing for Xiao Feng and them.
Some of these people will definitely be assigned to the Twin Towers side, and some will stay on the Rushing City side.
And on the Hulu Gorge side, there are now a population of 100,000, and they are basically human beings who were rescued from there before.
After this battle, the Hulu Gorge has been completely stabilized, and that side will be an important forward base for them, Xiao Feng feels that they should pay attention to it.
In the future, there will be a period of explosive development over there, after all, there is a very good environment, and there are tens of thousands of orc captives.
As for the army, it is natural that the number should also be greatly increased, and the 60,000 elite soldiers and 100,000 baggage soldiers on the Hulu Gorge side will not move for the first time, and that side will be an important counteroffensive base in the future.
Therefore, it is natural to garrison troops, but on Pannivilla's side, the population has grown so much, so it is natural to train more qualified soldiers to come out.
In any case, they are not short of men or food.
After the two great victories, they not only captured hundreds of thousands of prisoners, but also captured grain, grass, baggage, and countless weapons and armor.
The orcs have a lot of food, and in order to prepare for this war, they can transport a lot of baggage, and the reserve materials on the side of Napal Mountain City are needless to say, they have been covered by Xiao Feng.
The material of this group of orcs under Rushing City also did not escape, and they seized a lot of it, although some of them were destroyed in the war, but at least sixty percent of it still fell into their hands.
This unexpected harvest made the black elf Marcus in charge of material management very happy, and after the statistics, he told Xiao Feng.
Even if the population of the base is increasing by 200,000 and the number of soldiers who are out of production is increasing by 100,000, the food and materials they have now stored are enough for everyone to eat and clothe until next year's autumn harvest.
This made Xiao Feng very happy, this year's autumn harvest has just begun, and it will definitely be a bumper harvest, so this batch of grain will definitely be stored.
In this way, by the next year, they will have the capital to counterattack.
After sorting out the various tasks and assigning them to the leaders below, Xiao Feng finally relaxed.
At the same time, it is natural to harvest a batch of materials, such as the otherworldly wine made by the Mages, the caviar made by the Yingzhou people, and countless beef, as well as various fish catches.
But the point is that mushroom powder, an important seasoning that he handed in on Friday, is now the key to his fast-food business in the modern world.
And this Friday handed over not only those mushroom powder, but also a large amount of golden sand collected from the river, which was heavily filled with more than two dozen woven bags.
That's right, it's Xiao Feng who went to the other world to transport grain, and the rest of the woven bags. Fifty kilograms of the kind are stuffed to the brim.
According to the density of gold, Xiao Feng judged that this full bag must be more than fifty kilograms, so he was very careful and did not dare to use force at all, once he used too much force, those golden sands could be spilled out at any time.
Xiao Feng thought about it, and simply found Dean directly and asked him to lead someone to cast these gold into gold bricks per kilogram.
In the end, more than a thousand gold bricks were collected!
And the fox spirit Tamamo Shuichi also handed over a large amount of Yurong liquid, and this thing has now become the ninth laboratory that he is most concerned about, the most indispensable production material.
It must be extremely precious in the modern world, but here ...
In accordance with Xiao Feng's teaching, this Tamamo Shuichi transformed the production mode and established a production line system, and the production efficiency of her workshop was greatly improved when the raw materials were abundant.
The output of this jade liquid can be said to have skyrocketed dozens of times compared to before, and this efficiency made Xiao Feng very satisfied, and gave her a lot of rewards.
When everything is sorted out and it's time to return, although Birodis and Kayla are still in love with him, Xiao Feng has to harden his heart and return to the modern world.
This time he has been gone for more than a month, and on this side of the modern world, there are also a bunch of things waiting for him to deal with!
When he returned, it happened to be midnight, and Xiao Feng rested in the villa mansion for a good night.
The next morning, he didn't go to the flagship store of the celebrity chef as usual, but went straight to the Twin Towers at Marina Plaza.
This will be the headquarters of his group in the future, and before he went to the other world this time, this place was in full swing for renovation, and I don't know how it is going now.
Considering that the second investment promotion conference will be held here, he naturally attaches great importance to the decoration progress here.
And when he arrived at the building, he went upstairs to take a look, and he was relieved that the decoration of the building was basically completed.
