Chapter 172: Ship Name 'Hope'
"What's the use of asking for a half-ton medal!"
Elder Sirui walked around the room, swearing and swearing.
He didn't understand who would like a half-ton medal.
Can this thing be eaten?
He's a patriarch!
You don't need to know anything, you don't need to learn anything, you don't need to do anything!
The only thing that needs to be done by the patriarch is yes or no!
They still vote on behalf of them, and they don't have their own will at all!
Elder Sirui forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to calm himself down,
"Everything has changed since Lutdon appeared in the Divine State."
The past four years have been the fastest growing four years for Shenbang!
Even the Senate had to admit it.
At the same time, the rapidly expanding power of the three giants also made the Senate vigilant.
But whether it is the Senate, the justices, or the scholars, they have not done anything against the Big Three over the years, and they have not even restricted their expansion too much.
The reason is simple:
You have me, I have you.
The rise of Ponge is inevitable, and without Pong, the Divine State cannot be great.
Although the Senate has a lot of jokes, they don't plan to live as jokes.
The sword and shield are the cornerstones of everything.
Luden's sudden rise to prominence left the Senate without an opportunity to stop him.
He first served as a hanged man, harvested the Holy Descendant family, and accumulated initial capital.
Then quickly make a deal with all parties and become a tribune while supporting Al.
Lutdon's company, the Saint family mostly owns shares.
That's where it's the hardest.
Everyone knows that the company's profitability is good because of Luden.
Without Ludon, the Saint Family would not be able to earn so much Miso.
When Ludon really became the climate, the Saint Family looked at Misuo like a mountain, and there was no way to refuse.
As for Al
Don't be funny.
Al, himself a member of the Senate.
The Big Three cannot be disintegrated, cannot be stopped, cannot be contended
But
can be weakened.
This war is not only a change in the strategic approach of the orcs, but also a weakening of the Big Three.
Luton became a dictator, and after the war, according to the custom of the Divine State, he had to give up all power and become a rich man.
At the same time, the war with the orcs will greatly damage the vitality of the legion.
It will take time to restore the military strength.
Ponger is not young, although he is physically strong, but as the commander-in-chief, the consumption of the mind of the war is also huge.
As for Al, there is no need to worry about her.
She is a patriarch.
Naturally on the side of the Senate.
As long as the Senate and the Big Three are not in direct conflict, Al has no need to choose.
In this way, the power of the triumvirate was greatly weakened, and at the same time, a large amount of land, people, and property poured into the divine state.
After the war, no matter whether you win or lose, the Divine State is still great.
The Big Three, which will be a short history, will be like fireworks.
Thinking about this, Elder Sirui's anger gradually subsided.
He came to the residence of the sixth scholar on crutches.
"Yo, little brother, here?"
The six scholars of the university are in good spirits.
This mouth fetish was learned from Luden, and the university scholar Six liked it very much.
He raised the manuscript paper in his hand and exclaimed,...
"I'm working on this piece of article you wrote, how to transform a water pipe into a cannon pipe, and it's very well written."
Elder Siri:
Seeing this, Ludon has all the preparations.
Bite to death, these things are water pipes.
Even if the saint comes back to life, it's all a water pipe!
"The water pipe is the water pipe."
Elder Sirui waved his hand, took out a smoking gun, lit the tobacco, and Meimei took a puff and spit out a circle of white mist.
He knew that it was impossible to attack Ludon with this.
Everything else is fine.
Privately transported large-caliber artillery out of the state of God
This matter is really going to the Senate, someone is going to the gallows!
Even after trying to figure it out, Elder Silray was still angry at Ludon's audacity, this guy had never had any respect for the Senate.
Elder Sirui scolded in a low voice,
"How dare they!"
The university scholar who was reading the manuscript paper sneered,
"You're still worried about artillery? There is no need, if this war is really won, there is no large-caliber artillery, and the door of the Divine State cannot be closed. ”
Elder Sirui was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”
This guy has something to say!
"Can't figure this out?"
University scholar Six sneered,
"What is the Divine State known for?"
Elder Sirui subconsciously replied,
"The city of miracles, the city that never falls, the city that never falls"
As long as you live in this land, you will be familiar with these names.
"Then let me ask you again, if this war is won, what is Snow Valley Town, and what is Snow River City?"
The question of the sixth scholar made the elder Sirui fall into deep thought.
He wasn't very good at thinking, and although he instinctively felt that something was wrong behind this matter, he still couldn't tell what was wrong.
University scholar six put down the manuscript paper, his eyes were cold, like steel without temperature,
"If this war is won, the next war will be won. Sooner or later, the orcs will die, and at that time, even if the Divine State never falls, what's the point? ”
Elder Sirui's mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something to refute, but he felt that he had nothing to say.
The scholar six said contemptuously,
"What does the Divine State have? The most prosperous trade? State-of-the-art thought and art?
Look at the map, little brother, if you choose commerce, Shenbang is by no means the center.
Ideas and art can flow with people, the Divine State is a dead city, it is great because of the existence of the orcs, if the orcs are really solved, where is the miracle to speak of? ”
The miracle of the Divine State is built on the tide of beasts.
If there were no beast tides, people could go to more fertile land to survive, and more livable places than the Divine State abounded!
Even in the Qiyun Kingdom more than 2,000 years ago, it was only a mining center, and it was developed because of mining.
The words of the university scholar six were like an initiation, which made Elder Sirui suddenly realize.
Without the filthy orcs, the sanctity of the divine state is gone?
At first glance, it sounds ridiculous.
This is indeed the case!
Moreover, the reality will be even more cruel than what the university scholars say!
It is not only the Divine State that has disappeared from sacredness, but also the Saint Family.
Why does the Holy Law stipulate that the Holy Family, and everyone in the Divine State, is willing to accept this setting? …
On the one hand, according to legend, the ancestors of the Holy Descendant family established the Divine State and provided a refuge for sentient beings in the tide of beasts.
The sanctity of the Holy Family is first based on the sacredness of the Divine State.
On the other hand, every time the beast tide hits, the Holy Descent family takes out real gold and silver to relieve the people.
Naturally, those who are relieved are willing to follow the Descendants.
Now, the threat of the beast tide has been eliminated, the sacredness of the Divine State has receded, and the Saint Descendant family has begun to swim naked
Of course, it is impossible for the university scholar to say these words.
Boom Boom –
Thunder and explosion!
Elder Sirui was stunned and said,
"Listening to your words, it is like a huge thunder exploding in your ears"
Before he could finish his sentence, the loud noise came again.
Boom Boom –
Elder Sirui was stunned again,
"Thunder?"
The six expressions of the university scholars sank,
"Fool, it's the sound of artillery!"
He said coldly,
"The orcs are coming!"
"Woo-woo-"
The horn sounded, and all the legionnaires in Snow Valley Town got busy.
Others, according to the rules of refuge, took refuge in the valley.
And then the artillery began to roar!
There were already a lot of artillery pieces in Snow Valley Town, all of which were small-caliber and placed in important places.
After spotting signs of the beast tide, Ludon did not hesitate to order the cannon to be fired.
A raised platform was converted into a temporary command post.
Justice Jover's side stood beside Ludon, overlooking the battle.
Before the orcs could launch a formidable attack, they were routed by artillery and fled in a hurry.
Even so, the artillery offensive did not stop, firing round after round, as if the shells did not cost money.
Justice Jorfer couldn't help it, and asked,
"Mr. Luden, is it time to stop the shelling?"
If you continue to fight like this, it's just a waste of shells!
"I can't."
Luton rejected Justice Jover's proposal.
As a dictator, he has supreme command,
Even so, Ludon patiently explained a few words,
"We are the defenders, if the beast tide really attacks, we can't take too much advantage of the defensive facilities here."
Justice Jover's brow furrowed.
Can you take advantage of the indiscriminate firing of cannons?
Isn't it precisely because of the small advantage that it is necessary to save shells?
"These orcs were defeated from the side of Snow River City, they have already suffered a loss of artillery, and the orcs are not stupid."
Luden looked at the frantically fleeing orcs and said coldly,
"Eating a buffet, if a food is hot, prickly and unpalatable, it will naturally eat better food."
Buffet?
After hearing this word, Justice Ruofu was stunned for a moment, and his expression quickly became indifferent.
Ludden does have a point.
Bluffing, scaring away the orcs with artillery, and keeping the orcs away from Snow Valley is the best option.
Moreover, those shells are right on the battlefield.
After the orcs escape, they can organize the people to recover at any time.
What Luden really consumes is only gunpowder and other detonators,
Coincidentally, there is nothing else in Snow Valley Town, and strategic materials are piling up!
After a few rounds of firing, seeing that no orcs dared to approach Snow Valley Town, Ludon ordered the shelling to stop.
As Luden said, the orcs really regarded Snow Valley as a forbidden area and did not continue to harass it.
Even so, Snow Valley Town maintained a high level of vigilance and did not dare to relax in the slightest.
The orcs continued south to find softer persimmons to pinch.
Snow Valley Town is in full swing, renovating the 'water pipes' dug out of the ground, transporting them onto cargo ships, and carrying various materials for uploading.
A few days later,
The docks in Snow Valley Town are full of people.
"Woo-"
The sound of steam startled everyone, and the children cried in fright, and the mother hugged the child tightly and looked nervously ahead.
With the sound of steam, a medium-sized cargo ship slowly accelerated, sailed out of the dock, and went upstream.
There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd, and they did not understand why this ship could swim against the current without wind, sails, currents, and rowing.
At this moment, there are too many questions and too few answers.
They are witnessing history, not of steamships, but of the Republic of God.
As long as this ship rushes to Snow River City and supplies are sufficient, the hope of winning this war is even greater!
A painter, at Luden's behest, is trying to paint the scene before him, to record this historic moment.
The cargo ship heading for Snow River City is called - Hope.
