Stimulated by the titles of nobility, the amount of grain that these merchants eventually took out was surprisingly high.

Obviously, it is impossible for all of this grain to be this year.

After Robert Smith sent someone to inspect it, he soon found a lot of old grain, to say the least, he had been hoarding it for a year or two.

This made him have to sigh at the keen sense of smell of those merchants.

It is estimated that as early as a year or two ago, when they realized that grain production began to decline, those businessmen had already begun to hoard grain slowly.

When the time comes, if a famine breaks out, they will undoubtedly be able to take advantage of the rising food prices to make a fortune.

And even if there is no famine, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to sell those old grains cheaper in the end, and you won't lose much money in total, but once you hit it, it's a big profit!

But what no one expected was that this wave was even more profitable than they expected.

After all, before this, who of them could have imagined that such a huge and powerful empire would break out at this moment?

Knighthoods, on weekdays, they can't buy them with more money, and now the opportunity has come!

As long as they can successfully obtain a knighthood, or even a baron, let alone contribute food, even if it is a sum of money backwards, they are happy!

As I said before, they are no longer bad for money, and what they want now is status!

As they wished, the big merchants who successfully obtained the knighthood smiled happily one by one, and said that under their name of the Chamber of Commerce, the granaries of each city could be taken by the empire.

In this regard, Robert Smith naturally will not be polite to them.

Orders were hurriedly issued, announcements were issued, relief sites were set up in various cities, and food distribution began to be distributed to relief refugees.

This approach can be said to be the most direct stabilization of the situation within the empire.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

After figuring out the root cause of the decline in grain production in recent years, Robert Smith decisively ordered that all the frozen crops be removed, and that crops with more stable yields and harsh growth environments should be planted directly in those fields in the spring of next year.

In today's situation, he no longer has requirements for the type of crops, the important thing is the yield!

As long as the output can be stabilized, he can survive this wave!

At the same time, compared to Robert Smith, who was busy stabilizing the internal situation and didn't even have time to take care of the war situation in the East, the orc civilization was a different story......

Thanks to the food provided by Robert Smith for his orc army before, coupled with the food production of his own orc civilization, which has basically not been negatively affected by the climate, it has been rare for the orc civilization to have some food in stock in recent years.

Under this premise, Raymond Sosi, who rushed back to his territory all the way, immediately gathered a large army after confirming the situation in the west, preparing to destroy this enemy who invaded his territory.

During this period, the orc civilization in the western realm, the severe cold of winter did not cool down this war, and the sound of intensive artillery guns continued to echo on the battlefield in this western realm.

In the hands of the dwarven soldiers, the eight-tube flame dragon cannon roared wildly, and the furious firepower slaughtered the enemy in front of him in a strafing attitude.

Blood splattered and wails poured all over the field, but the fall of a large number of orc soldiers in the front row did not stop this orc army that had completely fallen into a state of madness.

With a wild roar and heavy steps, a minotaur infantry dressed in the armor of the iron beast appeared on the battlefield.

The emergence of this force undoubtedly hindered the Western Army, which had always been unstoppable.

Although the firepower of the eight-barreled Yanlong cannon is strong, it is a hand-held weapon after all, and it is obviously impossible to reach the level of destructive power of cannons and armor-piercing shells.

In this way, the situation on this side of the battlefield can be imagined.

The bullets that strafed past were constantly bounced away by the outer armor of the ironclad beast, and this minotaur infantry appeared, which can be said to have instantly supported the front line of the orc army, and kept approaching the western legion with firepower all the way.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides can be said to be getting closer and closer.

In this regard, the dwarven soldiers armed with the eight-tube flame dragon cannon did not feel afraid of this, and the entire army had no intention of retreating.

Seeing an opportunity, Du Yuanzhi made a move, and the signal flare was quickly issued, and another hole card of the Western Army was officially opened at this moment.

The heavy steps trampled on the ground, bringing a series of dense muffled sounds, and in the military formation of the Western Army, one after another figures like steel monsters entered the battlefield strongly.

Under the protection of the outer armor of the ironclad beast, the enemy's minotaur infantry can be said to have shown extraordinary bravery, and in the blink of an eye, the distance between them has been narrowed to within 100 meters.

The orc army in the frenzied state advanced frantically, but the newly entered army spread out the formation unhurriedly, and then raised the weapon in its hand.

Then, the moment he saw the enemy orc soldier enter his range, he pulled the trigger at the same time.

In the next second, only a muffled sound of 'boom' was heard, and in the long metal barrel, a series of hideous fire snakes spat out in a roar like a fierce beast out of a cage!

At this moment, it is the Boar Man arsonist who appears on this battlefield in the West!

The terrifying heat erosion, but no matter how hard your armor is, the special military fuel can almost be said to be pervasive, and any small gap can easily spread into it.

The rifle in his hand was scrapped on the spot, and the nearly forty-meter-long hideous fire snake completely engulfed the group of minotaur infantry who rushed to the front at that time in an instant.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Wild Boar Man Arsonist is definitely the most terrifying one among the several special troops that Luo Ji has tossed out in recent years!

As soon as it appeared, it brought the enemy orc army a hellish experience.

The enemy orc soldiers who were still rushing forward in a fierce attitude in the face of bullets and bullets one moment ago turned into charcoal in front of the terrifying flamethrowers in the next moment.

If the advantage of the Eastern Legion lies in the powerful mobility of the cavalry army and the flexible offensive style, then the advantage of the Western Legion is undoubtedly the ferocious firepower that is almost unreasonable!

The conventional five-stage firing rifle phalanx, the dwarven clan's unique eight-tube flame dragon cannon, and the explosive output of these boarman arsonists, there is no need to say more about how terrifying the accumulated firepower is!
