It has been raining in Bell Mountain City for the past two days, and the flooding caused water to flow on the streets. Fried's men rested for two days inside and outside the mountain city. Since they did not suffer major damage, the fortifications have been gradually restored. They were trapped under the Tianji Dark Tower.
The remaining Saint Vicoa soldiers in the complicated city passages have not yet been completely cleared, and Fried is not in a hurry. These people have no other option but to die and surrender.
The plague began to spread in the villages around Bell Mountain City, and it was reported that the furthest cases were in a city two hundred kilometers away. Fried was collecting information from all aspects, including new military information in the south.
The disaster caused to the land. While he sent people to collect and purchase designated herbs and medicines, he also took inventory of the accounts and inventory of Bell Mountain City. The mountain city's underground grain store contained a large amount of dry and storable grain, which was enough for the original garrison.
More than ten years, even now it is enough for him to use it for one to two years without any logistics.
The pharmaceutical factory in the city can produce a variety of wound medicines, and there are a lot of raw materials for medicines left. The medicines he ordered to collect in batches were not only needed to treat injuries in the future, but also prescriptions for treating several diseases. With the plague and antidote
, he will be able to gradually expand his control over this area. When nearly half of Saint Vicoia is affected by the plague, his medicine will become the savior of everyone in Saint Vicoia.
But before that, he still had to deal with several possible battles in the future. The rapid march of the troops did not gain a firm foothold on the road they passed, and they could not gain a foothold. Only the solid fortress defense of Bell Mountain City could gain a foothold. That is to say
His Songun troops were still surrounded by enemy forces.
There are two planned strategies for the next step. One is to attack north to open up the passage to the border of the Holy Demon and meet with the Gripen army that marched south after occupying Anmosi capital at the border to form a reliable united front; the other is
, attacked westward again, and completely opened the supply route to the western desert.
While completing these two strategies, the Holy and Demonic two countries will inevitably reach a peace treaty, and do not even rule out the possibility of forming a coalition for counterattack. At this time, the Lord of Sand and the Ultimate Weapon simultaneously show their magical power, destroying the armies of the two countries.
When to strike! Of course, the specific tactical details must be arranged as the battlefield situation changes. To achieve the third step of the strategy, in addition to the actions of the two countries as expected, the more important thing is that the Lord of Sand can arrive in time, otherwise only the ultimate weapon
, not enough to intimidate the two countries.
Once the strategic intention is completed, a large triangular situation between the two places and the border will be formed. As long as they are properly controlled, Anmosiddu and Bell Mountain City will become two important fulcrums of the Creation Army. They can safely rely on the desert and the Gripen Empire, and the South can
By commanding the capital of Saint Vicoa, the north can encroach on Demon Moon's territory. As for the western region of Warcraft Forest and the small countries on the border between the two countries, it can engulf them one by one.
After combing through the overall strategic plan, Fried asked the Gripen Army to the north of Faradin to contact the progress of the battle and report on the situation on his side. Of course, the above steps are only ideal situations, and war is never ideal, so he needs to
Polishing more tactical details. Fried is very familiar with the folk customs in the northern part of Saint Vicoia. In addition, the natural disaster and the unstable political situation in the center of Saint Vicoia are all places that can be exploited. No country is
If they are monolithic, there is the possibility of differentiation if there are differences in interests. What he has to consider is where to break through.
He also assigned some tasks to his subordinates to handle, especially for those generals of the Saint Picasso army who were captured or surrendered. He had to make specific arrangements. Among these people, even if some of them surrendered, they did not surrender sincerely, let alone surrender.
There may be an immediate rebellion against Saint Vicoia, including what to do with the troops under their command, whether to retain or release them or something else, all of which must be considered.
He hadn't figured out the best way to deal with it yet, so he asked someone to give the surrendered officers a batch of medicines to treat and prevent the plague. Some of these medicines were brought with the army, and more were brought with them during the battle after entering the territory of Saint Vicoia.
Produced, putting down these medicines can temporarily calm the restless Saint Piccolo runner's heart.
Coming out of the room, breathing in the humid air was invigorating. Fried leaned on the guardrail and looked at the tense and busy scene in the city, which was full of depression and about to explode. This situation is inevitable.
He did not completely restrict the actions of all the San Vicoia troops. Some troops must have taken the initiative to defect, but the generals defected, which did not mean that the soldiers and officers were convinced, and resentment would arise from this.
Suddenly there were some conflicts in the streets. The West Coast troops and some defected bandits were arguing with the soldiers of Santa Vicoia. The two sides were having a fierce quarrel. Someone was already taking action, but the nearby officers seemed unable to stop it. Fried jumped
Go down the tall building and rush over there.
"Get out of the way and open the door at the back. Why don't we let us take the things inside?" The soldiers on the west coast raised their knives high and waved them with great arrogance.
The Santa Bikoya officer guarding the door was very angry: "The street behind this is full of important armories. No one can open it without orders from superiors!"
"What kind of bullshit orders are there from your superiors? You guys from San Vicoia still think you are the boss? You are now prisoners and surrendered soldiers. Obediently get out of the way and open the warehouse at the back, or I will kill you!" the west coast soldier shouted!
As they watched, the gangsters laughed and laughed, and the two sides were about to start fighting again. Until they found that Fried was already looking at them gloomily, they all retreated to the side in fear.
Freed held the Boiling Demon's Iron in his hand and glanced coldly at the people present: "Who said you wanted to kill someone just now?"
The person who said this was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and hid in the crowd and quietly backed away.
Fried had already taken a fancy to him. He walked over in two steps and cut him in half with a sword. The other west coast soldiers were so frightened that they fell to the ground and did not even dare to breathe.
"Anyone who wants to provoke conflicts in the army will be killed. I will never care whether he is a soldier or a general. Do you hear me?"
The last sentence was shouted loudly, making everyone nod in agreement.
Fried asked again: "What are you arguing about?"
The officer of San Bikoya said: "They want to open an armory, but there are several warehouses in the back filled with... very sophisticated weapons and equipment. They are usually awarded to troops and officers who have made military exploits."
"I know." Fried waved his hand and said, "Get out of the way, take the key, and let them go in and pick. They followed me here and have already made great achievements. It is up to them to choose what they pick and take.
"
How dare Officer Santa Biko disobey, and the soldiers on the west coast were all overjoyed. After finding someone to drag away the bodies on the ground, they immediately took the key, opened the first warehouse door, and ran to the street behind.
Fried stopped a few people and said: "You go and notify the armies and ask them to come here to change their uniforms according to their unit numbers. The technology of the ordnance factories and refineries on the west coast is still a bit behind."
Although the people of the royal power have improved the forging level of weapons and armor in the West Coast Arsenal, due to many constraints, the quality of the forged weapons fluctuates. This is due to the fact that the skills of the forging workers have not been improved and stabilized, and there are also refineries and alchemists.
Problems with color differences in the raw materials produced.
Fried then said to Officer San Vicoia: "Take me to see several arsenals where important equipment is stored."
Arriving at several warehouses in a row that were obviously more solid and reliable, the seals and locks on the doors were still open. Opening a few of them, bright spears were piled in bundles against the walls, and swords of the same size were laid out in layers in the boxes.
Stacked, weapons and protective gear are stored separately, including exquisite magic robes neatly stacked together, and high-quality magic power boosters (a small magic square box that can be worn around the waist or worn on the wrist. Some magic robes are not enough.
, and magicians who want to cast magic beyond their current ability, use this small square box to enhance their magic power to complete the magic.) The shelves are also piled up.
"Isn't this just the same standard weapons and armor as other warehouses? It's nothing special." Some officers and soldiers from the West Coast Army who came over blocked the door and pointed at the things in the warehouse.
.
Fried casually picked up a long sword and took a look at it: "The Holy Southern Knight's long sword is a new century model. The handle is dark and the blade is slender. It feels good to get it."
Officer San Bikoya replied respectfully: "This is a sword that was redesigned and finalized by the Ordnance Bureau when His Majesty was still the Prime Minister. The appearance is only slightly different from the previous two types. It is the standard sword for cavalry and light cavalry."
"I know this. What material is this one made of?"
"The long swords of the Southern Territory knights in this warehouse are all of the same standard. They seem to be made of ferroiron alloy and forged using cold-refining techniques. They look like mass-produced standard weapons, but are actually forged individually. Their quality is close to the level of primary treasures.
There are still some registered in the entire warehouse..." The officer flipped through the warehouse register: "... there are 23 guns left, but not all of them are new century models. In addition, there are also the Southern Territory Knight Commander forged with higher standards of constant iron.
Two swords are in another warehouse. They are spare weapons prepared for mid-level and senior officers and generals."
Regardless of whether it is fighting or training, weapons will be worn out. On the battlefield, officers lose weapons or damage them for various reasons, and they must be replaced accordingly. However, only a big country like San Vicoia can prepare for a war.
A batch of standard weapons reaching the treasure level were provided to the officers for their use.
Fried waved his hand: "Keep this place under guard, and then distribute all the weapons as needed." He called a West Coast lieutenant and said: "Inform the officers of each army and ask them to come here to receive weapons in order of their previous military merits and ranks.
.I remember you. You are a soldier under Calasias. You were promoted to second lieutenant not long ago. He said that you fought bravely. You can also come here to get a set of weapons and armor. An excellent soldier like you should be here.
Build greater merit on the battlefield."
The lieutenant was overjoyed, said a word of gratitude, and immediately went to deliver the order. The other West Coast sergeants were all envious of him.
Fried then picked up a heavy sword: "Well, this sword is good."
The officer next to him said: "Sir, this is not a standard sword kept in the warehouse, but... it is a treasure prepared to be used to reward military merit. It has a name, 'Final Rain'."
Fried ignored it: "General Calasias's demon-destroying sword was seriously damaged and it won't be repaired for a while. He came and gave him the sword."
Seeing that Sha Jiao and the other two were also outside the door, Fried waved and said, "You guys can come in and find what you want."
Sand Jiao originally disdained these standard weapons, but when he saw treasures like the 'Final Rain', he couldn't help but be moved, and walked into the warehouse with the gladiator and mummy.
