After a few days of returning to peace in the northern area, things happened to the south.

The Orcs of Fattel were led by General Upphap, and this time they brought the Fourth Legion of the Empire.

The empire's attempt to attack the Phoenix Kingdom was discussed a year ago.

The Phoenix Kingdom is a new little kingdom, but the productivity and influence it shows has made some scholars and officials very worried.

Especially near this small kingdom, in the north bank of the Luna River, before we knew it, the Fatel currency tended to exit circulation.

Fattel's willingness to let money flow abroad is a system established since the founding of the country. By expanding the influence of money, there will be some special benefits. Because the currency itself will naturally be concentrated in the hands of a few people by social activities, the currency gap generated in the process must have a source, which will give birth to a type of trade specially for obtaining money. This type of trade will most likely require foreign parties to pay excess gold, silver and copper, and this difference is enough to fill the empire's annual coin gap.

This form has been maintained for two hundred years. The private minting of coins in a few lords will not arouse the empire's vigilance. These small currencies are difficult to spread their influence, and even trade between the two cities is not very useful.

But the situation of Phoenix Coin is completely different. This kingdom uses its powerful product output capabilities to suck gold and silver coins in surrounding areas until they are dried up, forcing people in these areas to start using Phoenix Coin.

It would be fine if it was just a part of the area to use Phoenix Coins, but the problem became more and more serious as time went by.

When a region is short of money, the means to ensure circulation is nothing more than to export goods to make up for the shortfall.

There is no problem with this behavior, but after the scale increases, from a macro perspective, the Fatel currency from a further distance is gathered around the Phoenix Kingdom and then slowly sucked in by the Kingdom.

Scholars who went abroad to do relevant investigations believe that if this situation continues, it will take less than five years for the bulk trade between most areas of the mixed-race belt and the surrounding areas of the Little Kingdom to be no longer able to become a mixed trading method of gold, silver and phoenix coins.

Once the mixed-race band gets used to this form of trading, Fattel will not be supplemented with foreign gold and silver, and will also fall into a state of lack of money!

And this is not the future, it is already happening!

In the past year, the Imperial merchants' external purchases have exported more than expected currency. The prices of private goods along the eastern Luna River have been lower, and this decline is caused by insufficient money.

So we must fight and eliminate the source of this bad momentum.

As for the little kingdom still fighting with the demons, the empire also knew about this, but they did not believe it. At most, they only destroyed a few small groups of demons.

Moreover, even if the little kingdom makes greater contributions, it is not worth mentioning compared to the survival of the empire itself.

For these reasons, the Kingdom began to actively communicate with the lords along the route half a year ago.

The price of several main lords is relatively high, and the lords of Pang Xun City have taken the opportunity to make trouble, but after several months of repeated discussions, they finally got to talk.

General Upfapu was the third prince of Fattel. He was called General because of his bloodline.

The Fourth Legion he led was one of the Imperial City Garrisons.

Of course, it is not learned from a small kingdom. Imperial city garrison is an exclusive military garrison mechanism created by the needs of large territorial countries. It will concentrate the vast majority of mobile troops in the territory near the royal city to manage, so as to avoid the self-respecting of some places far away.

The number of people in the Fourth Legion is about 100 million people, about 50,000 people.

The reason why I used it roughly is that for well-known reasons, the number of people and organization of the imperial city garrisons is a bit incompatible.

In short, when the troops were out, there were about 50,000 troops.

The population of the Phoenix Kingdom may be 400,000, and this population will definitely not be able to make up 50,000 soldiers. Therefore, even if a legion cannot win quickly, it can at least remain unbeaten. Let's find a way later.

The mobilization of 50,000 troops was not an easy task. Fortunately, Upphap really fought a war and handled things in an orderly manner.

First, requisition ships and civilians, and do not ask for one trip, but they cannot be divided into too many trips, otherwise too much time delay may cause some trouble.

Finally, one hundred ships and five thousand followers of the military and civilians were requisitioned, but temporary civilians were not counted.

Fifty thousand people were transported by sea, and dozens of them could be towed away, but the river was not that big, and a hundred people had to be transported to the deputy port of Pang Xuncheng in two trips.

General Upfapu also arrived here with the first group of soldiers.

The Deputy Port of Pang Xuncheng is a new port, outside the city on the east side of Pang Xun, so that the army will not pass through the city, which is more in line with the interests of the piercing lord, and Upphap can understand it.

But after the first soldiers landed, this understanding quickly turned into anger.

Since the subsequent troops are still waiting for the subsequent troops to be in place at this stage, there is not much restraint on the troops that arrive in Hong Kong first, some soldiers will choose to go to the city to drink and have fun.

If more people go there, there will be bad things.

On the third day of arrival at the port, Upphap received a report and saw that more than a dozen orc corpses were hung on the city wall!

There was no attack on the spot, and an envoy was sent to question the piercing lord.

I got the answer soon: Just killing someone to pay for your life.

Although it is natural to kill people, the people who kill the empire are a little ignorant of being ruthless without notifying themselves first.

However, what is even more annoying is that after evaluating the situation, I have to endure it!

Pang Xuncheng has a wall formed by natural mountains, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fortress shell. These mountains have been operated for many years and have many underground military channels. The two are added together. Even if Pang Xuncheng only has more than 3,000 troops, it is very difficult to break Pang Xuncheng.

It's just that it's difficult to siege the city. After all, Pang Xun City itself has more than 200,000 people, and it's still a water city. It really benefits a lot. The problem is that once it shows hostility, it will be difficult to prevent the action of the piercing lord, and Upphap himself will be unable to protect his life.

Similar to the mage level system, although the level division of assassins is not so clear, the seven stars also represent the highest level of assassin, which is an existence that is enough to assassin the king to kill.

Even if it is much more difficult to take the leader's head in the military formation than in the daily state, the possibility is definitely not zero. This is the land where the lord is pierced, which adds an opportunity.

If you decide not to fight, the next thing will be more and more troublesome.

Considering that the soldiers were about to fight to the death, it was impossible to punish the soldiers who left the camp now, so we could only add a rule that "no leave the camp without a legitimate reason".

But a legion is training together in the royal city, and everyone is acquaintance. It is really not difficult to find a "legitimate" reason. Even if there is not, how strict can the guards at the entrance of the camp be executed?

In just two days, dozens of people gathered to take revenge.

I don’t know whether the revenge was successful. Anyway, when Upfapu received the report the next day, dozens of corpses were hung at the city gate!

His own soldiers were killed continuously by the little lord's men. If they had no reason, they would swallow them alive, for fear that the soldiers would not have the morale to fight when they arrived on the front line.

Upphap sent a formal mission to ask for compensation from the Puncture Lord.
