On March 1, 138 of the Auralmic calendar, the day of the Oath, Charles Chrissy led his army out of the city, aiming for Nadek City in the northeast of the reef - it didn't take long for the orc tribes stationed outside the city to rout and flee after years of planning.

At the same time, the army of the Hundred Flowers Knights of Samuel set foot on the Hammerstone tribe near the Blackwater River in Duolun City.

On March 23, 138 of the Ephemeralis ephemeralis, the Reef Nadec coalition forces approached the commercial town of Ereh, and the Dragonhawk tribe was forced to retreat into the Curved Horn Mountains and hide.

Prior to this, the armies of Reef City and Duolun City had already entered the Emerald Stone Forest and began to fight with the Steelfront tribe stationed there.

On May 15, the long-standing Battle of the Emerald Stone Forest came to an end, and Grand Duke Samuel Rose personally took action to behead the Grand Leader of the Steelfront Tribe, and the Steelblade tribe perished.

On May 21, the starry calendar, there was a battle destined to be watched by the world, the reef alliance against the mountain orcs could not attack for a long time, and brazenly launched a fire attack strategy, the extension of the misty mountain range of the curved horn mountain was engulfed by the fire, the flames through the sky were very conspicuous even in the blue sky and white sun, thick smoke billowed, connecting the sky into a dark cloud.

After cleaning up the battlefield, all the Dragon Eagle Department was burned to death, including all the old and young.

Subsequently, Long Beach City, Melaton, Boulder City, Iwaguan City.... The two coalition armies are like a game, constantly liberating one city after another in the south, and in the face of this huge momentum, the once fierce orc tribe is like a lost dog, forced back by the continuous human army.

It's not that there is no resistance, it's just that that the resistance is constantly dissolved by the cards of many lords in the south, and in the end, the orcs completely converge and retreat in their last gathering place in the south, the path of the conqueror.

It is reported that the orcs outside the southern border are coming along this narrow checkpoint to support, and the remnants of the orcs are resisting to the death, and the precious forbidden sky stone shines day and night on all the important places of the conqueror's path, in the face of this iron barrel-like defense, many lords in the south seem to have fallen into a helpless situation, and the situation has fallen into a strange calm for a while.

——

The situation on the front line has calmed down for the time being, but the situation in the south in the rear has changed dramatically, and this change has quietly turned upside down, and the citizens of various cities in the south suddenly discovered that there is a new thing in the city - a newspaper.

With the support of Allen's huge funds, the operation of intellectuals who had long been ready, and the watchful eyes of various forces in various cities, this kind of "shop" called newspaper office covered all cities like tea, and began to spread continuously, causing a series of heated discussions, and finally, after the publication of a newspaper that spread to the entire southern border, this heated discussion quickly turned into a sought after.

Not to mention its entertainment, not to mention its convenience, the cheap information channel alone can quickly make ordinary people who have been trapped for many years quickly pay attention to it, not to mention the main thing in the south now - the confrontation with the orc army.

In this special issue of the newspaper, apart from the various information that the southern realm likes to see, there is only one main report, and that is the current situation of the Conqueror's Path and the past achievements of the southern lords!

The shock of the successive liberation of cities and the current strange confrontation between humans and orcs attracted everyone's attention, and under normal circumstances, they could not intuitively understand this information, but only through some unreliable gossip, and the appearance of newspapers allowed them to get what they wanted.

Of course, it was not smooth sailing during this period, the resistance and rejection of local information dealers, the greed and blackmail of local gangsters, the difficulty of running the stalls, etc., all kinds of problems have plagued many external pioneers who have been hired by heavy money, because intellectuals are difficult to find, most of these people are mage apprentices, to say that there are some means, but the emotional intelligence is generally not very high, so there is indeed a lot of confusion at first.

However, the leader did not care about some small profits, and the Seagull Newspaper finally stood relatively smoothly in the entire south, and it became a general trend under the flowering everywhere, which included the support of the government, including the support of most ordinary people, including its own advantages, and various factors formed an unstoppable thrust, and the name and portrait of Alan Chrisch also spread to all the cities in the south.

The situation in the south has changed more than that, and it can even be said that compared to the novelty of newspapers, some smart people in the south value another thing, and that is the sudden arrival of a large number of caravans!

Although the orcs have not been completely wiped out, the southern border has basically been liberated at this time, and most of the dangers that once hindered the caravan have dissipated, and the remaining wild demonic beasts can't set off too many storms at all.

The situation on the front line seems to be clear for now, but who can guarantee that the orcs will not make a comeback in the future?

It's just that the business system of the stars has been basically constant for many years, and the needs of each city have been very stable, even if it is a big move, at most it will be accumulated by some living creatures, and it will not change much - in the case of removing the bay.

Under the operation of Goblin Bauer and the various goblin caravans to which he belongs, a huge amount of goods produced by the Free Federation were continuously transported to the bay, and then quickly absorbed by the long-awaited local caravanserais, and then spread to all the cities in the south!

Handicrafts, firewood, rice, oil and salt, luxury goods, weapons and armor, and even some never-before-seen rhythm technology were quickly absorbed and accepted by local cities under the hard work of a "team of agents".

Compared with the goods of the local caravans, these new goods were relatively cheap, but the quality was much higher, and the ordinary citizens, although they did not have great wisdom, had to pay attention to such details about the quality of life, so that the southern caravans were affected by a lot of shocks.

The local merchants were naturally not fuel-efficient lamps, and under the threat of power, they quickly began to snipe together, and the means of suppression, threat of force, shoddy, counterfeiting, and so on emerged one after another; although these agents were also locals, except for a few powerful agents who were not affected much, the other caravans were all overwhelmed by these insatiable small means.

It's just that this predicament didn't last long, and as the official forces in various cities exerted their influence, the local merchants who targeted the agent team had to be reined in.

Some of them are sulking and wondering why the authorities are "eating inside and out", but the smart ones have rushed to the birthplace of these agents and are ready to join in so as not to be kicked out of the game – the influence of the Gulf is rapidly heating up.

It's just that even these smart people can't think of it, why don't the lords of the southern border support the local caravans, but support those outsiders?

You know, one side is a caravan stationed locally, and the other side is temporary, and the taxes between the two are different, not to mention the various relationships in private.

Some people thought of Alan Chrissy, an upstart who had spread throughout the South, but it was just speculation, and no one thought it had anything to do with the flamboyant magician.

Allen's face is not so big, even Tyran, although there is no competition between the various lords in the south, but there are relatives and aliens between them in private, Tylen does not have many friends, but there are many enemies.

What is it that unites these disparate lords?

Except for Allen, and the core of the newspaper he ruled, I'm afraid no one knows.
