Chapter 1490: Black Gorge

Back in Agares, Alan didn't rush to the Ring City, it was still very early before the date of Sbernack's invitation, so there was no need to rush to meet the two Supremes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info8Ω1 Δ文网 instead of spending some time on his territory to deal with some affairs, he left Melanie to deal with territorial affairs, Melanie's ability is good, but Agares is not the Earth and the Heavenly Star, on this planet where force is respected, Melanie, a civil and political officer, obviously does not get enough respect, even if Alan puts Twilight, a strong man, by his side to support him. The people in the territory only know the dark king Allen, and as for Melanie, she is barely an agent. If it was just the affairs of Mokdan and the wastelands, Melanie could still handle it, but if Sburnac also gave him the territory of the two provinces, Melanie's influence would not be enough.

Returning from Moso, Ramer returned directly to the Ring City, while Eren headed to Mokdan. As for the Bal fleet and the Nirm army that had been incorporated with him, it would take a day or two to arrive, after all, the transport starship was not as good as his personal ship.

Now Allen's army is quite numerous, and Sbernack has given him 100,000 soldiers, and Morso has recruited 10,000 Nirms, plus the surrenders from the original war. Not counting Allen's own Burning Legion, the army of this alien soldier alone is as many as 130,000. Fortunately, Sburnac carved out two provinces, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain the funds of this army alone with the income from Allen's previous territory.

It was still daytime when he left Moso, but it was already late at night when he arrived at Mokdan in Agareth. Getting off the ship, Alan sees Melanie at a glance, Twilight standing beside him, Melanie's complexion is not bad. There were other people next to him, and in addition to some familiar faces in the Mokdans before, Alan also saw a few raw faces. When he stepped off the ship, the men even crossed Melanie and bowed to Alan in fear, shouting "I've seen His Highness Allen." Alan squinted, roughly guessed their identities, and didn't rush to get them up, but nodded to Melanie and said, "I'm not here for a while, nothing happened, right?" ”

Melanie was about to bow down, but Alan stopped him and said, "It's important to get down to business." ”

Melanie smiled slightly, Alan asked those people to kneel, but did not let him salute, obviously to show the people who care, and at the same time hinted at his status by his side, so as to pave the way for his own convenience in the future. He said aloud: "Of course, it is important to get down to business, but Your Highness, it is not appropriate to let these adults continue to kneel, can you let them get up first?" ”

Eren waved his hand, and the faces were able to rise, and the expressions they looked at Melanie were a little different. Alan turned to look at them and said, "I know that you are from the other two provinces, and I know that you are uneasy at the moment. But as you can see, I have more important matters to discuss with Melanie, so you can go back and rest first, and I will give me time to meet you tomorrow and talk about it later. ”

After gesticulating, Smog called a group of guards and sent the bigwigs from other provinces back to their quarters.

A six-line car came up to Allen, and he got into the car. Also in the car are Melanie, Lola, and Twilight. 6. The train drove to the city lord's mansion, and the street lamps along the way continued to interweave patches of light and dark in the carriage. In the car, Melanie briefed Alan about the changes in her territory over the past month.

Now that the Great Wasteland has been unified by Allen, and the chaos of the past is no longer the same, Melanie organized a merchant group, including grain buyers, equipment merchants, mineral agents, and so on. The president of this merchant group is stationed in the Great Wasteland, and they will plan the commercial market of the wasteland to rectify the disorderly business environment of the previous wasteland. In addition, Melanie has also deployed a number of tax collectors, road toll collectors, customs officers, etc., in order to establish a well-established and long-term business network.

As for Mokdan, while maintaining the original exhibition, Melanie began his previous exhibition plans approved by Allen, which were all designed for Mokdan's economic growth. Melanie stressed at the time that only if Mokdan's economy continued to grow and his fiscal revenue doubled could he support Allen's expansion. In this regard, the alliance with the Shadow Nation provides ample opportunities for Melanie's plan to be implemented. He even connected with several large merchants from another empire through his agent Shut, an agent of Dorbia, and then established a network of interconnected trade with Mokdan as the center. If there are no surprises, Mokdan will usher in a new golden age. In Melanie's vision, a large amount of food, equipment, ordnance, and minerals will be circulated to the two empires through Mokdan in the future. And all this will bring Alan a wealth that is difficult to match.

As for the new two provinces, each has its own advantages.

The territory of the Shadow Kingdom can be divided into two fronts, the eastern front, the territory of the long war, there is the front line of the confrontation with Duobia, it is the stage of war, and it is the best choice for the Bal people to harvest their war achievements. Cities on the Eastern Front were destroyed and destroyed, and often a small and inconspicuous city may have been rebuilt several times, and those important strategic capitals were rebuilt many times. In such an environment, there were few big cities on the Eastern Front. Most of the cities in a province are mainly small and medium-sized towns, and only the main city of the province will have a certain scale out of strategic needs.

The Southern Front was a different story, because it was at the rear of the battlefield, it was out of the need to support the war on the Eastern Front. Although the southern tier city was only a small town at first, it often expanded as the workshops gathered, merchants gathered, and the economy expanded, and eventually evolved into a large city that could accommodate 100,000 or more people. Not to mention the provincial main cities in the south, which are basically large cities with a million inhabitants.

The two provinces that Sbernack gave to Allen were Rees and Peti. The former was one of the granaries of the Empire, and the province of Rhyss was located on the Plain of the Wind Garden. This plain is rich in products, fertile soil, and the province of Liss is full of grain factories, which use mature food processing technology to classify and process raw materials to produce a variety of energy-rich battlefield food, which is one of the important supply chains of battlefield food on the Eastern Front; As for the province of Peiti, it is a huge arsenal, and every city in this province has at least ten or more equipment workshops, and even a series of supporting industries. Some people describe this province as saying that as long as you send raw materials to the province of Peiti, it can give you a steady stream of weapons and even a series of ordnance such as battle ships. It's a similar idea of how much power this province has.

It is no exaggeration to say that Sburnark's assignment of these two provinces to Allen helped him lay the groundwork for the reign of Agareth almost in one fell swoop.

"When Lord Ramer stayed in Mokdan, he mentioned more than once that there were many princes and nobles in the Demon Ring City who felt red at Your Highness, and at the same time wondered why His Majesty was so generous, although His Majesty has always played cards according to common sense, but this is too generous." 6 The car had arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Melanie got out of the car first, and stood aside and waited for Alan to get off.

Alan took Lola's hand and jumped out of the car, and said, "Sburnak will not do anything meaningless, he gave me these two rich provinces, one is to show his sincerity, and the other is to warn me." For him, the wealth on Agareth was not in his sights. He can give, and he can destroy. If I break the agreement. ”

"In any case, with these two provinces, His Highness Allen's career will be much faster. Those adults just now are all from these two provinces, and they are all people with eyes above the top, and it is common sense not to let me go in my heart, and Your Highness must not blame them for this. Otherwise, my work will not only fail smoothly in the future, but will also hinder it. ”

"You think about them, don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Walking into the City Lord's Mansion, Melanie said, "There is another matter, which is about Lord Hubble. ”

"Oh, Hubble got news?" Alan asked, and before that, he asked Hubble to go up with the Three Hundred to explore the gray area west of Mokdan. Counting the time, it's almost three months.

Melanie nodded, "A month ago, Lord Hubble sent someone back with news. They had left Mokdan, and beyond the barren lands, a large barbarian settlement had emerged. The area, known as the Dark Mountain Gorge by Lord Hubble, is said to have abundant water and is rich in rare minerals. Of course, their arrival is not welcome. Based on the feedback from Master Hubble, I believe it is a place worth exhibiting. Therefore, without the consent of the adults, Lord Hubble was given a mixed army of 5,000 men. We have now established a forward base at the Dark Mountain Gorge, and the supply route is under construction. After a while, when the situation around the base stabilizes, we can transport troops there, and a barbaric settlement of tens of thousands of people won't be able to support it for long. When we defeat them, we will have tens of thousands of workers and slaves. ”

Alan nodded: "Hubble's luck is good, I don't know if he broke through." ”

"You can ask him yourself tomorrow." Melanie smiled.

"Oh, is he coming back tomorrow?"

"Calculate the time, I should be able to arrive tomorrow." Melanie replied, "We have established a basic communication line with the Black Gap base, so that Lord Hubble will know your whereabouts. He also complained that you didn't take him with you to Moso. ”

"This guy is such a battle maniac." Alan said happily: "It's okay to come back, I'm going to Demon Ring City next, just take him with me." ”
