Otherwise, according to the level of the domestic military gates, the top of the empire would not dare to start a war so crazy.

But apparently, they laughed at the greed of the bureaucrats and the middle and low-level officers.

This greed, accumulated over several generations, has reached the point where it eats up half of the military salary.

Almost all of these officers have been soldiers for generations, and who wants to do business with this kind of fat difference? Just take it.

In the long run, a terrible family monopoly was even formed.

Therefore, after the collapse of the front line, the top management of the Wusi Empire was furious and wiped out all the middle and low-level officers.

Even though he was greedy for some of his family wealth by the people below, when the huge amount of silver thaler was placed in front of the imperial high-ranking people, especially in front of the emperor's majesty, he did not get the joy of silver thaler at all, but was almost angry to death.

These silver tales had slipped out of his hands to reward the soldiers, but they fell into the hands of these miscellaneous people.

Thinking that those sanctimonious ministers also ate part of the military salary, if this emperor didn't know that it was not appropriate to kill too many people at this time, he would definitely be going to kill on a large scale.

As if knowing that the emperor was angry and needed silver taler to appease the anger of the emperor, almost all officials spontaneously donated part of their family wealth to supply the new army to build, which can be regarded as a meritorious atonement. Otherwise, when the entire Wusi Empire will be destroyed, they will lose this opportunity to live under one person.

Therefore, corrupt officials are most afraid of the destruction of the country, because without the support of the state, they will not even be able to farm the waste, except for corruption and bribery. They're just a bunch of garbage. A bunch of heads full of selfishness. Their minds are full of ideas of corruption and bribery, except for these, they don't have anything in their heads, they are all a group of gloomy miscellaneous crumbs on the surface, but in fact, they are all miscellaneous in their hearts.

Extreme selfishness and extreme greed allowed them to burst out with powerful financial and material resources to support the development of the imperial war.

Because there is no empire, they rice worms will be finished, regardless of whether they have a lot of money or a group of concubines. It's all in vain.

Therefore, knowing that this matter must not be sloppy, all the bureaucrats and the officers who survived by luck immediately donated a part of their family wealth, hoping to extinguish the raging anger of His Majesty the Emperor.

Not to mention, at this time, when the country officially needed the silver thaler, although the emperor was very angry, he also knew that it was impossible to kill all those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so after a night of calm, especially under the special enthusiasm of the empress and several concubines, the emperor finally vented his anger a little.

Early the next morning. The emperor was preparing to let go of the corrupt officials for the time being, and wait until the end of the war was in liquidation. The ministers automatically informed the emperor of the amount of silver thaler that was donated, and this was the time to use the money, since someone was willing to donate, the emperor was of course happy, and he temporarily put these corrupt officials aside.

It will take time for the Holy Dove of Peace to digest the treasonous Uss, and the Empire of Us, after losing the base of the Helis bridgehead, must also stop this endless expansion and instead hold on to the areas it has gained.

Ironstone City is like a big stomach, constantly gathering villagers from all over the country, they spontaneously gather to Ironstone City, not all of them are of bad seeds, and there are also patriots who are willing to sacrifice their flesh and blood to kill those madmen of the Holy Peace Dove Church State.

Time is constantly passing, and the upper limit of 150,000 in Ironstone City has quickly broken through, but fortunately, everyone doesn't care about these, although because of the number of people, some of the guides can only sleep on the streets, but in order to protect the people in their homes, their lives are willing to sacrifice, not to mention this setback.

The reserve, which was originally only 10,000, soon reached more than 20,000, and with the addition of 30,000 regular soldiers, it was enough to reach the number of 50,000 group armies.

The Sacred Dove of Peace also gathered more siege equipment and personnel, and the number of people reached more than 70,000.

Time did not allow the Holy Dove of Peace to wait any longer, so they launched a siege war first.

Rick stood in the arrow tower at the corner of the city wall, surrounded by several nervous-looking archers, staring at the black phalanx on the ground in front of him.

The Holy Dove of Peace, whose clothes are decorated with white and bright red crosses, is called an expeditionary crusade.

Their spirit is very resolute, and their perennial faith makes them feel a kind of excitement from the bottom of their bones to exterminate the infidels.

And the parishioners who can join the army are definitely the best among them.

So by this time, the whole war was no longer a simple war, but a holy war for faith and self-preservation.

The first thing they came into contact with was a pile of defensive phalanxes armed with iron-clad shields.

This phalanx holds huge tower shields that can only be lifted with both hands, thick and iron-clad, giving these tower shields a strong ability to protect.

In addition to the shield bearers, there are also many transporters carrying sand and dirt on their backs, ready to rely on this to completely fill the thick moat full of moat water.

As soon as they came into range, the huge trebuchet roared and ejected several round stone balls.

These stone balls are about a human height, and the round surface is not stressed at all, and after falling to the ground and smashing a piece of flesh, it still rolls like a bulldozer under the action of inertia for a while before being stopped by the corpse.

"Ahh My leg!! Oh my legs!! ”

"Help, help!!"

As soon as it opened, there was a crazy and frightening wail and scream.

But apart from those who were wounded, the rest of the Crusaders of the Holy Dove of Peace were unmoved, and they continued to move forward.

When they reached the side of the moat, the transport team, which had been rehearsed many times, quickly dumped sand, but the archers found an opportunity and shot some of the members of the transport team.

The wars were brutal, and in order to fill the moat, the crusaders of the Holy Peace and Church States lost hundreds of men, barely burying about half of the water in the moat, and at night, everyone lit a large number of torches to prevent the other side from attacking.

As for those sneak attacks such as beating gongs and drums and sparing the other party's rest, neither side is in the mood to engage in it.

The side of the Empire is completely on the defensive, so it is not in that mood, and these crusaders with strong character and firm faith are not something that can be disturbed by small schemes.

The Crusaders did not bother to act in that way, and the very act itself affected morale and the rest of their own soldiers.

The next day, as if it had been rehearsed, the moat was completely filled with more than 600 lives, and the war really began

Zhang Qiang woke up again, and couldn't help but have a trace of worry in his eyes. The game character was cursed by that third-order professional, and there was no way to escape from here.

Although a lot of silver tales were looted again, there were still some shortcomings.

But at this time, it was war, and the things in Rick's hands were really useless to say, so he could only take one step at a time.

After thinking about it, Li Qiang decided to sell the module of Haliss Script.

At this time, the ruins of Halis have been occupied by the Holy Dove Church of Peace, and Rick will not want to go back anytime soon.

The main thing is that Rick has already been discovered by the mermaid sacrifice, and the next infiltration will not be so simple.

No one can guarantee who the winner of this war will be, so Li Qiang feels that in the case of unclear situation, and time is not enough, Rick wants to sneak into the Halis Ruins again, it takes a lot of preparation and luck, so instead of falling into the dangerous Halis Ruins again, it is better to directly sell this extremely valuable Halis text module.

After adjusting the price, Li Qiang smiled with satisfaction.

Originally, he wanted to open all the rooms directly, but the obstruction of the Galactic Heaven and the interference of the Holy Peace Dove Church made Li Qiang lose the confidence to be safe again.

One carelessness is the price of death, which is too dangerous.

So Rick felt that it was time to sell the Halis text module.

Of course, at this time, what Li Qiang sold was not the parent module, but the sub-module.

Every time I download a sub-module, it is customized by Li Qiang to a price of 100 trading points.

This can be regarded as a clear robbery, a hundred transaction points, enough for a family of three to spend a simple month.

But there are many rich people in the world, after Li Qiang just hung up, three eager gamers bought the sub-module, and Li Qiang directly made a profit of 300 trading points.

In addition, the silver taler contributed by Rick in the game was also exchanged for huàn as a trading point, and he finally repaid part of the bill owed to Leon.

By the time it was launched again in the evening, the trading points in Li Qiang's account had reached more than two thousand, and after repaying the Leon trading points again, Li Qiang's debt was only more than six hundred trading points.

There is no debt, and the remaining trading points are the biggest source of income for the time being, Li Qiang is ready to wait for two days, and then sell the mother module, because the number of professionals who can enter the Halis Ruins is limited, so the act of selling the sub-module will greatly reduce the income when it reaches a certain level, so directly selling the wooden module is the true scripture

In the early morning, the two sides lit a fire early to make food, and soon a brutal war began again.

It stands to reason that sneak attacks at night and sneak attacks at breakfast may cause great damage and attrition to the other party.

However, the conservative army of the Empire has been holding on to the city and has not risked fighting to the death with the other party.

Because the Holy Peace Dove Church has a strong cavalry, and the Uss Empire does not have a particularly strong army, if you rush out of the city, it is very likely to fall into the trap of the other party and lose the advantage of defending the city.

So there is cavalry on one side, but it is almost impossible to use it in siege warfare. One side has no cavalry, but it has the convenience of the city wall, so it depends on who the final winner is. (To be continued......)
