After the start of the operation of the Desertification Committee, the southeastern part of the salty continent soon became a concentrated area for rice cultivation with a relatively developed freshwater system and gradually spread terrace development technology.

But now, this place, which was once known as the granary of the mainland, has long lost its former prosperity, and it is even more completely depressed than when the demon locusts were raging.

Wolan looked at the three-person tall thorn wall not far away, and couldn't help but sweat secretly.

In less than a month, it was time for the autumn harvest. But those hateful aborigines of the salty wilderness would rather destroy all the unripe crops than leave them half a grain of grain!

At this time, it is not suitable for sowing crops at all. But only high-ranking generals like him know that their food reserves are only enough for everyone to save money and last for another three months.

For three months, it was a complete fool's dream to get enough food by planting! Therefore, looting grain became their main task in the future.

But they soon found out how much work the people of the salty desolate continent had done to clear the wilderness this time.

"Your Excellency!" the scout hurried back and reported, "The wall of thorns ahead is the same one that the other people have encountered. We can be sure that we are completely blocked by this wall!"

Wolan frowned when he heard this: "Is there a possibility of a breakthrough?"

The scout thought for a moment, and finally shook his head a little dejectedly: "This thorny wall is several feet thick and full of barbs, and our large army can't cross it at all. The subordinates tried it, and the vitality of those thorns was very strong, the slashes were constant, the fire was not scorched, and only high-level magic could barely destroy some of them. But if we do this, after we finally break through this wall, I am afraid that we will be exhausted and face the indigenous monkeys who are waiting for their husbands to be in charge. ”

"On this continent, there is still such magic, which is even better than the magic array. Wolan shook his fist hatefully and asked, "Have you ever tried to drill through with the Ground Technique?"

The scout nodded, then shook his head again: "I've tried, that area can't be traversed using the Geo Technique." It is worth mentioning that we clearly felt the forbidden magic fluctuations in the vicinity, but we did not find any traces of the magic array. ”

"They may have set up the magic circle underground...... No, wouldn't the root system of a plant destroy the magic array? It's weird......"

Wolan was puzzled, and after a moment of silence, he had to order, "Let the brothers set up camp on the spot, and stay put." After Ben will present this matter to the sage, he will make a decision. ”

"Yes!" the scout replied, and he took the command.

"What a salty continent, what a Guangyao Empire!"

In the stone hall that was temporarily built with earth magic, Light slowly knocked on the stone table with one hand, and said with a hideous smile: "They have already calculated all this, and even let us land on purpose. In order to take advantage of the disconnection between the front army and the transport ships behind, we will sneak attack our supplies!"

"Now that I think about it, it is. ”

Huang Quan nodded and said, "From the beginning, they didn't intend to fight us, but wanted to use this method to make us collapse without a fight. Otherwise, they could have planted a wall of thorns like this along the coast, and even if we still broke through in the end, they would never have allowed us to land so easily. ”

Biluo looked at the march map on the wall, pointed to the black semicircle opening on the map that separated them from the whole continent, and said, "What if we bypassed that thorn wall from the sea and landed again on the periphery?"

Huang Quan pursed his lips and sighed lightly, "The deity has also thought about this plan. But it's obvious that the person on the other side is not stupid, and it is impossible to really leave such a hole for us to drill. If you detour like this, eighty percent will fall into the hands of the enemy, and it is better to force your way in head-on. ”

Huang Quan is right. Guang pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly, "The air force is the strength of the Guangyao Empire, and we don't need to attack the strength of the other with our own shortcomings. In contrast, attacking from the ground is more conducive to our army's performance. Therefore, relying on hard power to break through violently is the best choice. ”

"Will it take ten to drop with one force...... It's really your style, light. Fario, who had been pretending to sleep on the sidelines, suddenly nodded on the ground, "That's right, in the face of absolute strength, what's the use of playing tricks?"

"Since everyone's opinion is unanimous, let's do it. Guang got up and said, "Just in case, Huang Quan, I'll leave it to you this time, but don't leave your hands behind." ”

Huang Quan's face was sad, he sighed lightly and shook his head: "Now that the matter is over, is there still room for the deity to keep his hand?"

"Hey, what is this?" said Ethan IV, glancing at the liquid that had been served.

"Your Majesty, this is the juice squeezed from the sea buckthorn fruit!" Liang Yue introduced with a smile.

"Sea buckthorn ......," Ethan IV recalled with a frown, and then was slightly startled, "isn't that the name of the plant used to build the wall?

"Hey, hey. Liang Yue smiled proudly, "If the people on the other side of the sea buckthorn wall want to find out that the sea buckthorn fruit is edible, I'm afraid it will take some time, right?

Ethan IV was stunned: "What do you mean by this?"

"Your Majesty has been meditating and recuperating for the past few days, and you haven't seen that sea buckthorn wall with your own eyes, right?" Liang Yue said with a smile, "This sea buckthorn is born with sharp thorns, its fruit is very small, the skin is thin and easy to break, if ordinary people harvest it manually, it can be said that it is extremely difficult, and a person can collect one or two bags a day, even if it is very good." ”

Ethan IV frowned: "Even so, that's food, right? For that group of people who are about to go hungry, even if it's just one or two bags of sea buckthorn, it's enough for a few of them to hold on for a while." ”

Liang Yue chuckled: "Your Majesty Mingjian." However, the sea buckthorn was touched by Xiao Gu Yu's hands and feet, not to mention the sharper and denser thorns, and there was also a toxin embedded by Pei Pei using the magic array. If someone accidentally cuts his hand with a thorn and the toxin enters the bloodstream through the wound, he will not be able to use his magic power at all for at least the next three days. Only we natural mages can use magic vines to safely harvest with the help of controlling the natural elements. ”

"This ......" Ethan IV thought for a moment and shook his head again, "After all, there are many people on the other side, once they find that sea buckthorn is edible, what if they send a group of people to collect it?" It is estimated that after discovering the toxin on the thorns, they will definitely send ordinary people to pick sea buckthorn." Wouldn't we be shooting ourselves in the foot?"

"If they really let ordinary people collect sea buckthorn, then we will win half of this war. As soon as Ethan IV finished speaking, another woman's voice came from the gate of the courtyard. (To be continued.) )
