Two days later.

Not far from the rear Terran pioneer team, the two teams lined up, on one side was a coalition of thousands of strange species hiding in the forest that had not yet been cut down, and on the other side was a team wearing fine armor standing in the open space of the development with exquisite weapons, the number of the two teams seemed to be similar, but there was a world of difference in discipline, the team on the human side could maintain complete silence, no one spoke, but on the other side, the aboriginal coalition army was full of noisy sounds, because now this formation, it seems that it is not as simple as the original said, just to talk。

This Nima can't get into a fight!

To tell the truth, the aborigines may be in addition to the wood spirits, everyone else faces the opposite Terran army, they are all up and down, the Terran is tall and well-armed for them, in the eyes of the aborigines, the Terran army is almost all wrapped in armor, and the beastmen who like to bare skin are still out of breath to fight them, and these people wearing armor, and among the Terran army opposite, there are still a large number of muskets, and even those larger caliber artillery guns have hundreds, if they fight, whether the aborigines can rush to the front is a problem, coupled with the cat people and elves who spared no effort to advocate the words that they would run away as soon as they really fought, the momentum of the aborigines was really weak.

"These aborigines on the other side are so weak, I don't think there is any need to fight, send a few soldiers with loud voices up and roar and they will be defeated!"

Many Terran officers teased with a relaxed attitude, Wang Zifeng did not take the aborigines on the opposite side in his eyes at all, the army on the opposite side was not even comparable to the half-orc army of Mordor, and the black hands were much stronger than them, and the current Terran army, the only thing that could make them look at it was only an elven army, which might be in addition to elven soldiers, strong orc soldiers, Except for the dwarf iron guard, the other soldiers are not the opponents of the Terrans in terms of combat effectiveness, if these aborigines do not use absolute numerical superiority, then in front of the Terran army, it is a chicken and a dog.

"My lord, I would like to talk to you!"

A person came out from the aborigines on the opposite side, he held a flag and waved vigorously, expressing his willingness to talk, Wang Zifeng thought about it and said:

"Let's see, if these natives can retreat, then we can save a lot of trouble, after all, the development of the ash swamp is the most important thing. ”

After speaking, the Terran side also waved the flag and responded to the acceptance, so in front of the two armies, three people were sent on each side, and walked towards the open space in the middle of the large array, each of them were people who could make their own decisions, with two retinues, the aboriginal side was walking, and the Terran side was riding horses, and the aboriginal representatives who came were three wood spirits, they quickly walked to the middle, the wood spirit's attitude was very humble, with a smile on his face, and his tone was gentle, on the other hand, on the Terran side, whether it was Wang Zifeng or the two Templars behind him, they were all sitting on horses and arrogantly despised the people below。

"Dear human lord, I think there must be some misunderstanding between us, and we may need to solve these misunderstandings?"

"Oh, yes, what kind of misunderstanding is it?"

Wang Zifeng's response made Mu Jing continue: "This land is where our aborigines live, and Your Excellency's crazy cutting down of trees doesn't force our aborigines to a dead end?"

"So, if possible, can you stop this kind of felling, and we are willing to give you unconditionally the land you have cut down as a loss to you as a loss that we have not explained clearly beforehand. ”

The words of the wood spirit can almost be said to be low enough, but Wang Zifeng looked at the wood spirit under his feet coldly, and his eyes were cold:

"No, according to the laws of the Empire, because there are a large number of human and human-friendly races in the Ash Swamp, we will take over the Ash Swamp for the safety of these people, as well as some necessary development for it, these normal things, we will not stop, and there is no reason to stop. ”

Wang Zifeng's words were very decisive, and Mu Jing's face still maintained a smile: "Your Excellency, you should think about it, after all, we aborigines also need to live, and I believe you don't want to see some bad conflicts break out between us." ”

Mu Jing's words with a hint of menace made Wang Zifeng laugh: "Oh, yes, but what I'm waiting for is to declare war on us! ”

What is a scoundrel? Wang Zifeng is called a scoundrel, Wang Zifeng did not have any euphemism, but directly said very powerfully, Lao Tzu came here to fight you.

The wood spirit couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and the leader of the wood spirit said in an even more atmospheric manner:

"Are you so confident that you can beat us?"

"You only have 50,000 motley troops who are not even peasants, can't I defeat them?"

"Oh, then, I'm afraid we're going to disappoint Your Excellency!"

The leader of the wood spirit nodded to an entourage beside him, and then, in the rear, an arrow shot directly into the sky, and the jungle, which was originally relatively quiet, became restless in an instant, and the aborigines over there looked around blankly, and then, countless green wood spirits walked out from all over the forest, their number was huge, not less than the two teams present, the wood spirit was originally supposed to be deployed on the front line of the beastmen according to the regulations of the 50,000 new troops, and now appeared here, the number of aborigines, increased by 100,000.

"Your Excellency, I don't know what to do now? I just proposed, why don't you think about it again!"

Mu Jing looked at Wang Zifeng proudly at this time, with confidence on his face, 100,000 to 50,000, human beings must think about it, although there are many other races that don't want to fight at all, but in front of Mu Jing's absolute combat power, others will not be their opponents at all, they will only be coerced to join the battle, anyway, it is not too little to attract firepower.

Looking at the extra 50,000 wood spirits, Wang Zifeng smiled disapprovingly, and then directly hit the horse back, not paying any attention to the stunned wood spirits:

"Order, let the cannon speak first!"

Just when Mu Jing looked at Wang Zifeng, who didn't look back and left, his face was full of astonishment and he stood in place a little overwhelmed, Wang Zifeng, who had just left a little distance, directly let the artillery of the human race start to bombard, the dense team on the opposite side made the artillery not need to aim at all, and directly aimed at the front to open fire, hundreds of artillery guns roared with fierce flames, and huge cannonballs rushed out of the cannon chamber with a whistling, and the aboriginal coalition army hiding under the woods on the opposite side witnessed the dense black dots falling from the sky, and then...

Trees collapsed one after another, dense explosions bloomed in the crowd, tree trunks, branches, human bodies, soil, shrapnel, the small space was filled with all kinds of debris, the aborigines didn't even react to how it was, the wood spirits with wooden physiques were so vulnerable in the face of this steel cannon fire, they didn't seem to be much different from those flesh and blood.

The first round of shelling came and went quickly, and after a few minutes the explosion finally subsided, and the aborigines seemed to have finally reacted, with a cry from the cat people and the elves, the aborigines collapsed, they had never seen such a terrifying attack, and the cat people and the elves themselves did not want to fight, driven by these two races, almost except for the wood spirits, everyone was running backwards, just kidding, they had never thought of fighting against humans, and now they have seen this kind of terrifying attack, who would stand here stupidly waiting to be slaughtered。

So, just after a round of shelling, the aboriginal coalition army collapsed, and the leader of the wood spirit looked at this scene in disbelief, how could the coalition army that he had worked so hard to bring over with deception disappear after a round of shelling, and the wood spirit around him also looked at the land that had just been bombarded by artillery fire, where it was now full of craters, and dead bodies.

"Chief, what are we going to do?"

A goblin asked in fear, and the leader's face quickly changed several times, and then suddenly said, "Retreat, all retreat, retreat towards the central area." ”

The wood spirit who got the order finally broke out in an instant, this war that I thought would be fought for a while, ended so quickly, Wang Zifeng looked at the defeated enemy army in the distance quite helplessly, but the Templars looked at the defeated enemy army in the distance proudly:

"How can these earth chickens and dogs be the opponents of our Sect Guards!"

"That's it, if you want me to say that Lord Miko should simply transfer those people from the garrison back, and leave us here to teach the guards. ”

The pride of the Templars was not stopped by Wang Zifeng, because the aboriginal coalition on the opposite side could indeed be called a chicken, and the prince only shook his hand slightly:

"Okay, let's be quiet, now we will take advantage of the victory to pursue, drive these aborigines to the side of the beastmen, and then destroy the beastmen in one fell swoop, so that even if the gray swamp is settled, we should still focus more on internal affairs. ”

Wang Zifeng's words made the Templars around him quiet down, and the few imperial knights were silent throughout the whole process, after all, this time they came to the Ash Swamp, and their garrison was completely here to help the Church Guards, and they didn't have any right to speak, so they were relatively silent throughout the whole process, but Wang Zifeng would exchange a few words with them from time to time, after all, Wang Zifeng's identity was the palace minister of the empire, not the church palace minister, Wang Zifeng's foundation was in the church, but the object of his service was the entire empire.

50,000 new detachment regiments in a round of shelling directly to the front, on the way, countless cat people and elves rushed directly to surrender, for these two more friendly species, the human race is all preferential, as long as the initiative to hand over the weapon, then it will be directly released, and will give a sum of money, not real money, but a large bag of food, food is the hard currency between the aborigines.

In Wang Zifeng's opinion, his 50,000 troops in the gray swamp can completely crush the existence of others, and the aborigines can resist the attack of the beastmen, so the gap between the combat effectiveness of the beastmen and the aborigines will not be large, and he may have to spend a little more time to clean them up, but the final outcome must be his undoubted victory.

Wang Zifeng's self-confidence stems from the powerful legion in front of him, as long as it is not the army that meets Mordor, the other troops are all just chickens and dogs in front of his own legion.

The news that the Terrans finally fought with the aborigines of the Grey Swamp did not cause much repercussions in Middle-earth, almost all forces have their own affairs, the elves are inseparable from those Inland Sea pirates, the dwarves are killed by the black hands under the Supreme King's City, and the civil war between Mordor in the Black Land is one wave after another, compared with the things in front of these major forces, the news of the Terran and the Grey Swamp natives fighting is really not too important.

At the same time, the Terrans first controlled the Central Province, and then marched into the Gray Swamp, and when the humans really completely controlled the Gray Swamp, then the entire Middle-earth, the Terran occupied nearly half of the land, and the Terran will become the first power in Middle-earth.

And the last executor of all this is Wang Zifeng, so Wang Zifeng is fanatically executing the conquest of the Gray Swamp, maybe only the people in the church are the group that most wants human beings to become the first power in Middle-earth.

Baicheng, Lu Luxiu was about to go out for exercise after finishing the first half of the day's work, Qin Chuan hurriedly came from the outside world, and he brought a letter brought by Wang Zifeng:

"Your Majesty, we have already started a fight with the aborigines, the battle situation is unexpectedly good, the aborigines of the Gray Swamp were defeated on all fronts after just one round of artillery bombardment, and now Lord Wang Zifeng is leading the troops to march towards the depths of the Gray Swamp, preparing to defeat the beastmen in one fell swoop. ”

Qin Chuan first quickly introduced the battle situation on the front line, and then asked Lu Luxiu to check the letter with detailed records, and Lu Lu Xiu was also more happy to see such a smooth battle situation, but he didn't know why, he always felt that he had forgotten something, or seeing this rhythm of battle, he remembered some things that had happened on the earth, but Lu Lu Xiu didn't have a clue for a while, and felt that the longer he stayed in Middle-earth, the less and less memories of the earth became, and even blurred.

Lelouch could only shake his head and throw his doubts out of his mind:

"Very well, the soldiers on the front line live up to the expectations of the Empire, and give everyone some rewards, and besides, how are the plans for the new batch of friendly species to be admitted?"

"At present, there are two tentatively decided, and Lord Wang Zifeng means to wait until the battle in the Ash Swamp is over, and invite you to visit the Ash Swamp before making a final decision. ”

Yes, Lelouch is preparing to artificially introduce several new races to join the empire, in recent years, with the efforts of the two major institutions of the Academy of Magic Sciences and Steam City, countless scientific research results have gushed out, but the size of human beings has limited a lot of good research results, so Lelouch is considering whether to add some new species to improve the population structure of the empire.

Well, yes, it's purely artificial!
