723. Front vs. Rear
In the simulation hall of the central control lock, the little cardinal enlarged the local map of the Hinduker under the control platform, pointed to the surroundings of the Xing 8 Castle and asked: "If this is the case, do you want to withdraw the chaser regiment and the elven guerrillas in the Xing 8 Castle?" ”
Rand shook his head and said: "That's not necessary, the high-ranking over there has been withdrawn to Iowa, the chasers can be rotated normally, and the cavalry commander is still Nedland Wilson, I will let the Demon Tiger return there, as for Vianis and her guerrillas, see what they think." ”
After several attacks in the past few days, Rand has harvested nearly 10,000 people, a similar number of herbivore orcs, and 2,000 barbarians near Inumori City, although these populations cannot directly join the battle and must be transferred back to the east of Iowa, so the chasseurs west of Iowa are escorting these populations east back to their territory.
In addition to these chasseurs, another 500 cavalry have been assembled in the military district of Iowa Town, and this part of the cavalry will take 2,000 auxiliaries to replace the cavalry escorting the population back, and rotate in the orc territory.
Thinking of the logistical pressure, the little cardinal couldn't help but ask: "The food of 500 barbarian cavalry is a huge number, if the demon rat has already arrived in the Hinduk, is it necessary for us to deploy so many people?" ”
"It's necessary, we can't let the rats into the forest too much." Rand had a smile on his face, but didn't explain more.
Cardinals looked at the information gathered, and the nezumi estimated that there would be 80,000 people in the vicinity of Inumori, and even if half of them entered, they would not be able to stop them with only 500 cavalry and a few thousand auxiliaries.
"The Demon Tiger will coordinate with the Netherlands to coordinate specific actions, and she can now carry the will of a certain Warcraft God, once the Orcs find out that they are going to fight against another Beast God's dependents, the nature of the war will become a civil war between the Orcs, and the scale will be greatly controlled."
"Oh," Cardinal nodded, but her doubts grew larger, and she asked again, "But why would a Warcraft god help us?" Orcs are their followers, aren't they? ”
Rand said with a smile: "What the Warcraft God really helps is the other more powerful Warcraft, and the biggest effect of the Demon Tiger and the Tatapalas is not how many orcs they can kill, but that their Warcraft identity can disperse and resolve the hostility of the Cat Clan God and the Canine Clan God towards us." ”
The God of Warcraft is not a path to the gods that rely solely on believers, but believers are just appendages that he harvests after becoming stronger and can provide a steady stream of faith power.
After figuring out the relationship between the Warcraft God and the believers, he used his Warcraft to win the favor of the Warcraft God, and when he tried to make the Orcs face him, he stripped off the impression of the Beast God, which was just a group of big animals.
"Now that you've decided, we'll support you." Looking at Rand's confident face, the little cardinal didn't say anything, but continued to report on various things in the territory.
"The last batch of slaves purchased by White Tree City has been boarded on the grain ship, the original camp is temporarily retained according to your requirements, and there are still 1,000 slaves from the Iguana, Tailed Mandarin Flower, and Chestnut families in the camp, all of which have been purchased by Pete Maned Wolf Knight after September 15th."
Hearing that Pete Mane Wolf could maintain his previous good condition, Rand finally made a difference to the old minister: "Very good, in addition to this, there will be about 20,000 slaves coming by boat soon, they will rest in this camp now, and then take a boat in the direction of Night Qicheng again." ”
"And 20,000? From the Southern Kingdom? "The cardinal has an understanding.
Rand confirmed: "Yes, the entire southern grain-producing area is engaged in the slave trade, similar to the big slave owners of White Tree City, cheap grain can not be found, there is more than one person who guards the slaves and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible, how is their breeding in Tierney?" ”
When it came to agriculture, the little cardinal was interested, and hurriedly said: "The first few batches have already been sold, not only soybean and rice seeds, but also the new Fertility Divine Technique Release Carriage, they are also interested, and they can trade with them directly." ”
Since the large-scale introduction of slaves and grain had to be sold, otherwise the gold coins in hand would run out one day, Rand was more vigilant about the balance of trade, and after negotiating a trade with Mr. Antlers, he let the dwarves and Tierney start developing agricultural machinery and breeding respectively.
Cardinal's report was well detailed, from the data in the territory, to the various trade channels, to the new industrial area, the Iowa factory area, the production of salt and iron mines, then the population and construction of each city, and finally the situation of the barbarians, knights, and mages in various places.
"Knight Danico and Jim, the first batch of auxiliary troops trained from slaves, about 2,000 people, can already perform the most basic tasks, and the number of auxiliary troops can be more, but a considerable number of them have stimulated the bloodline and become demon supporters, and they are currently training with the auxiliary army."
"That's fine, let Yuling pick the reserve of the administrators and the knights among the demon holders," Rand nodded.
"And the attendants in the palace," Cardinal added with a smile, "but the current Demonless Auxiliary Army can't support Iowa, and can only maintain order on the outskirts of Night Qi City, which is a lot more chaotic than before.
Without the suppression of the knights, the nobles who came from the royal capital lived a very indulgent life, and the priests of the temple alliance often made peace, committed suicide or fought with the opposite sex in the streets, and they were also guided by the gods. ”
"A group of clergymen are actually more expensive than the nobles," Rand felt a little helpless as he listened to the cardinal's report.
"This group of clergy has a lot to spend, including but not limited to usury, gambling in the temple in the name of collecting donations, making special hallucinogenic meals with some toadstools eliminated by their ancestors, performing witch prostitutes in public, and ...... with children under the age of 12."
As an archon, the little cardinal, when it comes to the various deeds of the priests, can come to the spirit, and also take the galloping horse plain outside the scope of the religious edict, the clergy who have been suppressed in the empire for hundreds of years can be regarded as finding a place to vent, from various cities to the religious district of the night unicorn city to consume and enjoy, and at the same time raise the holiday in the nearby neighborhoods and lower the moral standards of the surrounding area.
"Hmm......" Rand listened very carefully to the little cardinal's complaint, for the rear of the close to debauchery of the situation is quite a headache, although the little cardinal is the archon, but her existing energy is to ensure the production of the rear and the transportation of front-line military grain and grass, for the night unicorn city in the individual areas of the security problem is completely more than enough.
"Let Baron Dutov take care of the order of the Night Qi City, and also see his ability, I will see if I can find someone from the Holy City of the Temple Alliance to take care of those sub-priests, these guys are no longer more than the nobles play with flowers, but more than the cattle play!"
