Chapter 319: The Situation Is Clear
Southern Heath, "Penal Penal Zone", the small town of Palmer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This was the only official town set up by the empire in the penal area, and after Lin Feng received the official canonization authorization, he gradually dismissed the original mayor of Palmer Town, the tax officer and others, for Lin Feng, in order to "buy" people's hearts, he also had to clean up the management of these perennial oppressors in the penal area.
After Lin Feng took over the southern wasteland, the center of gravity of this territory has also shifted to the south, the coastal Rose New Town, which is the most core economic zone, and the uninhabited area in the middle of the southern wasteland, which has been planned as a large pasture, has also provided Lin Feng with some war horses in recent years.
On the one hand, Rose Newtown was in dire need of a large population, and Garfield and Cliff consulted to recruit townspeople from here to enrich Rose Newtown.
On the other hand, Lin Feng also intended to weaken the position of the Exile Zone in the Southern Wasteland, according to his vision, this was the buffer separation zone between the Southern Wasteland and the interior of the Empire, before the Battle of the Abyss Demons came, as long as the status quo was maintained here, in the Southern Wasteland, Lin Feng's biggest enemy was still the Forest Bear Monster.
Grand Duke Brandt's private army, they chose a good time to attack Palmer Town, except for the Diafi mercenary group set up an office here, Lin Feng did not invest too much resources and energy here, and even the garrison directly under him was not stationed, and there was only a team of security guards left over from the past in the town, and the combat effectiveness was naturally not high.
In Rose Newtown, after receiving the news of the attack on Palmer's town, Garfield not only reported the news to Lin Feng, but also summoned Frank overnight, and after ordering him and his garrison to enter combat readiness, Garfield also informed Cliff and Skov Black Rock who remained in Windranger Fortress.
Spencer Hart was the family knight of Grand Duke Brandt, who had only been promoted to the eleventh rank in recent years, so he was qualified to be the commander of the attack, and now he was sitting in the council chamber of Palmer, listening to the reports of his subordinates:
"Our army has taken full control of this town, except for a few townspeople who have long since fled, no one has escaped from our blockade, and the town's storage warehouse has been occupied by us, but the quartermaster counted the captured supplies, well, in his words, this is really a barren place. ”
After hearing this, Spencer said nonchalantly: "I am surprised that this is one of the most barren areas of the Empire, and it still has a reserve of grain, but I have heard that on the southern coast of here, there is a new port town, and that is the ultimate goal of our mission." ”
"Yes, there are some townspeople in this town who have heard that we are from within the Empire, and they have been very happy to provide us with some valuable information about the Count of the Golden Rose, well, they all have malicious intentions towards the 'traditions' of the penal colony that he has broken. ”
"Then let's make good use of them, my lieutenant," Spencer said with a sneer, "Don't these people know that even we can't change the ownership of the territory here?" We are only here to complete the Grand Duke's mission, not to 'recover' the territory of the Empire. ”
His adjutant also laughed when he heard this, he knew what his boss meant, Grand Duke Brant sent their three thousand-strong troops, their main task was to remind the Count of the Golden Rose not to meddle in the internal strife of the empire, of course, the ransacking of these towns in the southern wasteland, especially the nascent port town, was also something they were looking forward to.
After receiving the news of the attack on Palmer, the clerks of the Diafi mercenary group stationed here evacuated the place very neatly, and before leaving, they also took away the townspeople who were willing to go with them, and their actions aroused Spencer's arrogance, "This mission is much easier than expected!"
In Rose Newtown, Frank is reporting to Garfield the latest information from the scouts in front: "The invading enemy army is only about three thousand people, and the ordnance and equipment are similar to the general aristocratic private army, there are not too many elite troops, according to my opinion, our garrison in Rose Newtown can deal with them alone." ”
Garfield looked at Frank, who was eager to try, he knew his garrison very well, he was also a slave, he had always aimed at Kivica, and wanted to lead a real field army, but Garfield also understood that Frank's goal was really difficult to achieve.
"The lord doesn't seem to like him very much, and also, Frank sometimes behaves too eagerly, and the lord will inevitably worry about him. Although Garfield thought so, he thought about it carefully and agreed with Frank's opinion at this time.
Afterwards, he explained to Joanna: "The Lord has also sent back a report that they have just opened up the situation in Dalong County, and now is the time to digest the results, it is unlikely that they will withdraw their troops at this time, for here, the Lord Lord has given a secret order, if necessary, we can temporarily abandon the three towns in the penal area." ”
"What if the enemy isn't satisfied with just taking those three towns?" Joanna teased little Lucian as she asked, "If their ultimate goal is here, do we have to fight a defensive battle?"
"Don't worry, if the enemy only has three thousand troops, after capturing the three towns in the penal zone, they will not have much strength to attack Rose Newtown, well, if they are really not satisfied and want to attack here, hehe, Skov's wolf cavalry will be waiting for them in the wilderness of no man's land. ”
After two years of cultivation, the Black Rock Orcs of the Black Rock Territory also recovered a little bit of vitality, and Lin Feng picked out the disabled soldiers under Skov's command and some of the old and weak, rewarded them with a large sum of gold coins, and sent them back to the Black Rock Territory to retire.
At the same time, Lin Feng also took the opportunity for them to return home with glory, and recruited a group of orc soldiers in the Black Rock Territory, and now, under the command of Skov, there are already five orc legions of thousands of people, among them, there are two wolf cavalry of a thousand people. And these orc armies, their main defense area is the Windranger Fortress.
Garfield also has some command over Skov's orc legion, and of course, he is also responsible for supplying Skov with military supplies, after all, the permanent portal in the southern wastelands is still in Garfield's hands.
