Running across the endless swamp, Hudson was a mixed bag.

With such a vast territory, once it is developed, the strength of the Mountain Territory will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.

Unfortunately, the development of marshland has been protracted, and if you want to open up sea lines of communication in a short time, the vast marshland is a problem.

"It's here!"

As soon as the words fell, the giant bear's body shrank rapidly. Caught off guard, Hudson almost fell off the tree.

Looking at the innocent Bear Stearns, Hudson was on fire.

It's okay to stop suddenly, it's been reminded after all, but why don't you settle on the ground anyway?

Even if you like to settle on a tree, at least pick a bigger one. The tree where Hudson was right now was an accident if he wasn't careful.

Glancing around, Hudson regretted to find that the thing beneath him was barely a tree as far as the eye could see.

There were bushes and weeds all over the place, and experience had taught Hudson that it was a saline land beneath his feet.

As expected, the marshes in the coastal areas are rarely low in salinity.

The marshlands developed by the house have a slightly higher salinity than ordinary soil. It's just that it's not too high, and it doesn't affect grain planting.

These coastal areas, which are often exposed to the impact of the sea, are salt-tolerant to the plants that can grow here.

After a slight estimate of the distance, this place is about two hundred miles away from the territory.

The formation of such a large area of marshland is most likely related to the nearby terrain in addition to seawater erosion.

The southeastern province has abundant rain, and water from the Salaam Mountains flows in, which is the area that Hudson is now developing.

There is also a Black Rock Mountain Range next door, which is also an area with abundant rain, and it is indispensable for stagnant water to flow in.

The origin of the marshland is not important, the key is the development and utilization of the present. A man and a bear made their way along the shore, the tumbling waters furrowing Hudson's brow.

With his poor common sense, he knew that if he wanted to develop the coastal area, he had to build a coastal defense embankment.

Without keeping the sea water out, it is impossible for the salinity of the land to fall. Land with high salinity can only grow a small number of crops, and the cost performance is extremely low.

After all, the problem of the port could not be determined. It would be very irresponsible not to conduct a field survey of this sea area and only rely on shore observation and site selection.

Bear Stearns couldn't help with this either. The Earth Bear is nothing on land, but it's nothing in the water.

Teach the "bear" to swim?

As soon as this idea was born, it was decisively extinguished by Hudson.

The talent of the species must be respected, and no matter how good the water nature is, people are terrestrial creatures, and it is impossible to live in water for a long time.

Thinking about it, the "bear" may have evolved the ability to survive in the water after 8,000 years of mixing around the water, but Hudson didn't think he could wait until that day.

"Let's go, Bear Stearns. Take a circle around the swamp and you'll be done today.

Slow down, I'm going to observe the terrain. ”

Slow is relative, Hudson on the back of a bear, still enjoying the treatment of flying.

Except for the height of the ground, running wildly at Bear Stearns is actually no different from flying.

Hudson was very suspicious that Bear Stenden could fly, and he ran hundreds of miles through the swamps without a single drop of mud on his feet.

It's a pity that Bear Stearns insisted that he wouldn't, and the explanation for the four-legged flying bear incident in the air was - talent.

In the continent of Aslant, talent is the most unreasonable existence. There is no way to explain the strange talents that many races possess.

Usually people attribute these strange events that are not explained to the gods. Either the good gods did it, or the evil gods did it.

All other theories are just magicians and arcanists...... The prevailing belief among these special professions is that the gods created all things in the world.

"The Ronin Who Started from Douluo"

Running all the way to a mountain range, Hudson came to the conclusion of the Blackstone Mountains at a glance based on his knowledge of geography.

This time it was a real mountain range, and it could be seen from the towering mountain, which was not comparable to the small dirt bags in his own territory.

Mountains after mountains, endlessly. Hudson didn't know how vast the Blackstone Mountains were, but they couldn't be seen with the naked eye anyway.

"Bear Stearns, there are powerful monsters in this mountain, right?"

As a neighbor, you should be concerned. The Blackstone Mountains are able to block the connection between the Alpha Kingdom and the Hessian Kingdom, and it is definitely not just a geographical factor.

Purely geographically difficult, moving mountains and seas, opening mountains and cracking rocks, the transcendent world is not impossible to complete.

Even if neither side has ambitions, then it is not too much to open up a trade route, right?

There is no need for the two countries to act, and the profit-seeking businessmen will explore it themselves.

"Yes! I could feel a few breaths that were not weak, and no one knew how many high-level demonic beasts were hidden in this mountain range.

You'd better not go over and cause trouble.

In case of a fight, I have no problem, and your safety is hard to say. ”

Bear Stearns said in an old-fashioned manner.

It was as if Hudson was a naughty kid who had caused trouble and needed to be dealt with as a parent.

Rolling his eyes angrily, Hudson directly extinguished his desire to explore. Warcraft are territorial, and it is easy to rush into a fight.

Although Bear Stearns' words are ugly, his strength is also very good. Hudson really didn't want to provoke the existence that could make it fearful.

Having these neighbors in the way is also a good thing in a sense. At the very least, if the enemy in the south wants to peek into the mountain territory, they must first ask these land snakes if they are willing to take advantage of it.

Spend a lot of money to push all the way over, it's better to change the target. The war-torn continent of Aslant has never lacked opportunities for expansion, only strength.

After making a round around, Hudson had a rough idea in his mind. The marshland in front of my house is not ordinarily vast, covering an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers.

The exact amount will not be known until it is developed.

After all, Bear Stearns took an irregular route, and the area to be judged by the perimeter of a curve is still very large.

With the bottom in his heart, Hudson's thought of heading towards the sea became more and more intense.

Digging a canal for hundreds of miles, even if it's a swamp full of silt, is not a small project.

Calculate the distance, it is almost one-thirtieth of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. If it weren't for the otherworld, Hudson wouldn't have dared to think of it.

The amount of earthwork, there is no need to calculate, anyway it is an astronomical amount.

The swamp is flat and developed into a large plain. There is no need to worry about the water source, as the water from the Salaam Mountains alone can fill the river.

If the flow is insufficient in the dry season, it is only a small problem, and it is a big deal to repair the gate at the mouth of the sea to allow ships to pass.

What needs to be considered now is the width and depth of the canal, the amount of labor involved, and an estimate of the time it will take to dig the canal.

In times of war, such a major project must be carefully considered.

Once a large amount of manpower and material resources are invested, it cannot be stopped.

It would be embarrassing if the progress of the project fell short of expectations, and the subsequent war was affected and there was not enough financial resources to invest.

Or do you put in a few thousand people and dig slowly?

With the financial resources of the mountain territory, it is only a canal digging team, which has a limited impact on the development of the territory.

Or will you put your plans on hold and wait until the war is over to think about it?

……

The Emerald Palace, since the outbreak of the war, has been busy here.

The military newspapers on the front line, that is a steady stream of flying over. Overall, it's more bad news than good news.

Either there were heavy losses here, or there were losses there, or a fortress was breached by an orc army.

It's not that the kingdom's army didn't try to organize a counterattack, but the results were a little unsuccessful, and they were embarrassed to use them for publicity.

For example, on the front line, the kingdom's army won a complete victory at Helan Fort, annihilating more than 5,000 Pig soldiers, and losing no more than 800 of its own troops.

Purely by the numbers, it was a proper big win. It's a pity that the enemy is Pig, so that when the kingdom is promoted, it can only be replaced by an orc army.

How many, how many orc armies are annihilated, then there is nothing to say, it must be the enemy's unpopular race that will be killed.

If the orc elite is annihilated, it will usually be named after the enemy's race.

For example, last week, 100 Bimon soldiers were killed, and the battle reports described them in detail.

It's all forced out. In order to crack down on false reporting of achievements, the kingdom made a rule early on that all the battle exploits on the front line must be recorded by a photo stone before they can be counted.

It's all real data, and the battle report is naturally not so good.

Even if it is as beautified as possible, it can still be seen through at a glance for the high-level of the kingdom.

After glancing at the battle reports that had been put together, and still failing to find a classic battle that could be written about, Caesar III said helplessly:

"Let the front line be deployed according to their actual situation, there is no need to risk the elite for the sake of political propaganda.

Publicize it externally, and use it directly with the total number of enemies destroyed!

After a month of war, the annihilation of 150,000 orc coalition troops was barely able to appease the people.

The problem of losing cities and land is the scorching situation of the war, and we are fighting over these areas.

Inform the neighbors of the predicament we are facing, and prepare more photographic stones to send over.

If you don't let them see the tragedy of the battlefield, I'm afraid that the support will not be able to get up! ”

Regardless of race, the army of the Alpha Kingdom is definitely a great achievement. Since the beginning of the war, we have lost only more than 70,000 people, and the number of enemies destroyed has exceeded 150,000.

It's a pity that everyone knows the moisture in this. As a defensive side, just playing such a record is obviously not satisfactory.

"Your Majesty, the tragedy of the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang is a well-known thing, and there are large descriptions in the history books of various countries.

It is precisely because of the tragedy that the countries are unwilling to expend their strength in the war against the orcs.

Now everyone is arguing, nominally discussing the number of troops to be sent, but in fact, they are all planning to consume the strength of others first.

In a short period of time, it is not realistic to get reinforcements from other countries.

Refer to the reactions of countries in previous wars.

Basically, when we suffered heavy losses and were about to be unable to support it, reinforcements would come slowly.

Instead of asking for reinforcements, it is better to make requests for strategic materials, which are easier to be met by various countries.

Grain, cloth, weapons, armor, crystals, ...... These are what we desperately need.

In addition to this, we can also get countries to send experts to come and support.

Top powerhouses have a high survival rate on the battlefield, and as long as they are not besieged by enemies, they are basically not too dangerous.

If there is the righteousness of the human race, and there will be no loss of their strength, all countries should agree. ”

Count Francis proposed.

As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he was about to become bald in order to ask for help.

Unfortunately, it still had little effect. All countries on the continent have their own small abacus, and the righteousness of the human race is important, but didn't the Alpha Kingdom withstand it?

In the eyes of various countries, in the past, the Alpha Kingdom was able to withstand the orcs' troops, but now there are more Warhammer Kingdoms and Moxie Principality, so it is not a problem.

With the Three Kingdoms in front, they can take care of their own affairs first, and then slowly come back to pack up the orc army.

Especially in countries bordering other races, the mind is even more complicated now. Rather than supporting the Three Kingdoms, they want to solve their own troubles.

Knowing that it would not be able to get reinforcements in a short period of time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could only lower its target and try to enlist the support of other quarters.

Glancing disappointedly into the distance, Caesar III said disappointedly: "Then let's do it first!"

Keep an eye on the Warhammer Kingdom and the Duchy of Moxi, it's too quiet on their end.

It is obviously not normal for the five major orc royal families to come to our side, and there is a big conspiracy waiting for them. ”

The persimmon was looking for a soft pinch, but this time the orcs invaded, and as soon as they came up, they caught the strongest Alpha Kingdom and beat it hard.

The front line has been passively beaten, and it has not achieved a brilliant victory, not because the kingdom's army is not strong, but because the enemy is too fierce.

The main forces of the orcs have arrived, and the cautious border defenders have adopted the most conservative course of response. Although there is no dazzling record, it is still holding the defensive line.

As is customary, as long as the defense line cannot be broken through at the first time, then a protracted war of attrition will follow.

Relying on the line of defense, the kingdom's reinforcements can be continuously replenished, and the orc army will be slowly depleted.

In the process of attrition, the kingdom's army suffered heavy losses, but it was also able to hone a large number of elites.

The provincial reinforcements who have just arrived at the front line have very average combat effectiveness, but after the war lasted for a year and a half, most of these surviving soldiers have completed their transformation.

If the generals are more powerful and then trained, an elite can be created quickly.

The overall national strength is getting weaker and weaker, but the army on the front line is getting stronger and stronger on the whole. Once a new force joins, the situation is reversed.

In all the battlefields of Northern Xinjiang, the orcs were driven back to their hometowns in this way.

Having failed so many times, there is no reason not to learn the lesson. has been fighting with the Alpha Kingdom, which is obviously not in the interests of the Orc Empire.
