Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 623: Retreat and advance
New Hilius Deputy King District, located in Huarez, the capital inland on the west bank of the Golden Sea.
“General Anqiluo, for a whole week, this is the answer you gave me?! This is the explanation of the invincible Hilius Imperial Army to His Majesty the Emperor?!”
The deputy king of Flavio, who ruled the largest colony in the world, Neo-Hilius, read the statistics collected by the colonial army’s intelligence department from beginning to end. I couldn’t help the anger in my heart anymore, and slapped the exquisite mahogany desk in front of me with a slap.
Boom–!
The burly lieutenant general on the other side of the table did not hide, and let the stubble splashing at high speed hit him and his face motionlessly.
The sense of honor of the military made him completely lack the face to dodge. After all, the battle fought in the past week, even with the help of the “Cursing School” and the “Fire Sect”, was really ugly.
The distance between the east and west coasts in the north of the New World is about 4,400 kilometers. With the Itasca River, the largest river in the mainland, as the center line, the entire western region is actually occupied by Sirius.
However, a large eruption on the Itasca River a week ago caused the Hilius trailblazers and soldiers to lose a thousand miles.
The Hilius people who pioneered the New World were not stupid. Given their limited manpower, they had chosen the best and most abundant land on this continent.
But in their eyes, “good” also has standards.
Under the premise that the New World itself lacks consumption power and market, these first-step colonists are of course aimed at plundering wealth. Compared to working hard to make money, it is obvious that direct robbery will come sooner.
For example, the first targets: the Azik Empire and the Gashna Empire, these two countries are at least in the early stage of the slave society, and the Gashna Empire is also known as the Golden Empire, and gold sacrificial vessels are popular.
At the same time, most of the northern part of the New World was still hunting primitive tribes.
Therefore, the colonies controlled by Hilius are either the gold and silver producing areas, or the subtropical and tropical areas where large-scale economic crops can be grown, and they are also the most essential part of the entire New World.
Just as the western part occupied by the new Sirius District is the main enrichment area of mineral resources in the northern part of the New World, it contains a large amount of precious metal minerals such as copper, gold, silver, vanadium, lead, and zinc.
But now in just one week, two-thirds of the resource points close to the central region have been lost, which is more than the sum of the resources that have been lost successively since the outbreak of the “spiritual tide” last year.
The deputy king who has the strength of a great knight and exercises power on behalf of Emperor Philip II is still unresolved, his blue eyes staring at his highest military chief:
“Her Majesty Queen Teresa’s motherland, a small Frisian region has contributed wealth to the empire surpassed the entire New World. If this continues, as the security environment in the New World continues to deteriorate, the empire may not be impossible to shrink on a large scale. The decision of the colony.
At that time, do you and I still want to have power in this land full of gold? General Anqiluo, your lover already has double digits, right? What to raise them? “
The position in the colony is not low, and the lieutenant general, who is only low-spirited by reason, obviously does not agree with Deputy King Flavio’s rhetoric too much:
“Your Excellency, gold mines and silver mines are dead, and they will not resist the imperial claim by themselves.
But the Kingdom of Frisia began hundreds of years ago, but it is a country where all people do business. Although most of them do not produce, they mainly do business and finance.
But I think their nature is no different from that of Ilya’s merchants who resist [king power]. They are all in the same category.
His Majesty the Emperor can finally rely on our army and navy! And the big territory we laid for the empire! “
The world is no longer isolated countries. After the Bourgeois rebellion occurred in the Kingdom of Ilya, many eyes were fixed there. Of course, there is no exception for Hilius, who is separated by a sea.
Even though internally only allowed to believe in the “Sinhuo Sect” and the “primordial god” Tirentius of the Holy Lothar Empire, in the vigorous religious reform, the heads of people who are being killed are rolling.
But the empire’s top leaders are still “clear about the cause and effect of the Ilya uprising.”
The root cause lies in the new class of “bourgeois”.
Before the marriage, Hilius, who practiced totalitarian rule, had no internal handicraft industry, let alone a “bourgeois”.
But now the Frisians in the empire are the first to organically unify banks, credit, insurance, and limited liability companies into one financial and commercial system!
They own the first publicly traded stock company, the first organized stock exchange, the first stock market manipulation technology, the first international settlement bank, and so on.
Including the world’s largest Dutch bank group, where it was born is Frisia, a lowland country that has not been suitable for farming since ancient times.
Hundreds of years ago, the Frisians also invented the “flute ship”, because various countries levied port tax according to the area of the top deck of the vessel, which can be used to avoid tax.
There are many more examples of this. The big factory owners who have arisen from the steam industry are just a mere junior in front of them.
The deputy king did not want to hear his opinion on the bourgeois uprising, and waved his hand:
“Shut up! Our intelligence department has studied the matter very clearly. The Kingdom of Ilya is guarding the aging, and the Empire of Hilius will never repeat the same mistakes!”
However, the reprimand belongs to the reprimand. Under the precarious pressure of survival today, the strong man will eventually break his wrist.
Flavio then had to reluctantly give an order:
“Abandon part of the precious metal mining area, we retreat 1,000 kilometers to the west coast.”
Then snorted with a cold face:
“The New World is our defense zone. Your Excellency, I think you’d better think of a way to maintain the existing line of defense.”
The general’s face was uncertain, and he couldn’t help but look at the east coast of the mainland in the east, where he performed best in the spiritual tide.
……
The upper valley of the Hartson River.
Thousands of Georgian soldiers have already camped and the final general offensive will be launched after dawn tomorrow.
The “quasi-legendary battleship Venus” on the wide river is their mobile headquarters.
“Miss Angie, the three wizards, did not expect that the support troops sent from the rear would be you, not Billy…cough cough, I mean it’s great.
Above is the last battle we went retrograde along the river. Saratoga Hot Springs, located in the upper reaches, is also the place where the third-order Totem God is suspected to exist. “
William is introducing the current situation of the battle to the unexpectedly strong reinforcements.
Sure enough, as originally expected, in the second half of the journey, the “ghouls” had already run away after hearing the wind. Most of the things that need to be dealt with are the “ghosts” and natural spirits that have gradually taken root in this land. .
The army marched up the river, all the way to Saratoga.
Here is rich in geothermal resources, full of hot springs, large and small, even winter seems to come later than elsewhere, in any case it is a treasure.
Tie a silver hair like a moonlight and tie it into a high ponytail with a blue headband. An Qi in a white dress looks like she is shining slightly, and she smiles when she hears this:
“The guy Beth informed us that a suspected Tier 3 totem has been found in Buffalo, and a large number of ghosts have gathered upstream, worrying about your lack of strength.
Just some time ago, the teacher asked us to investigate the terrain along the twelve colonies. Three peak wizards of the “Mechanical Immortality School” have taken action. It should be enough to deal with a totem god. “
The other commander, Robert’s face, did not relax:
“We are actually worried about the’Ms. Crow’ across the river, and even the guy in this intelligence who is suspected of being a Tier 3 Totem God, is not sure whether it has anything to do with that powerful high Totem God.
If this is a nail deliberately released by the other party, even if we can expel or even kill him, the bigger trouble is still to come. This is what we need to consider…”
But while planning a plan.
For a long time, facing the spirit monsters who have almost no wisdom, they have neglected the complete third-order totem **** who has obtained the human body, but the wisdom is far beyond the existence of human beings.
If you can stay at home and wait for them to call friends to push the tower, that would be really weird.
“Is it them?”
In the dense forest on the bank of the river, Bello, the “Bison God” with soaring horns on his body, looked at the campfire in the river valley camp and asked in a deep voice.
“My lord, that’s right. These people have ruined the great plan of “Mrs. Crow”, a large-scale epidemic that should have swept across the entire continent and provided power for women, because the guy behind them died without disease.
In the past, the goddess didn’t have the energy to pay attention to these little bugs, but they dared to run to the vicinity of Manchak Swamp to show off their might. They clearly didn’t put the goddess in their eyes. “
Behind him, “Fungi Man” and “Insect Man” leaned forward.
They also know that they weren’t the opponents of Aiwen and his party at the beginning, and now they are even less opponents. Of course, it is safest to kill talents with a knife.
Under the guise of helping the goddess breathe out a bad breath, provoke the powerful “Buffalo God” to stand up for himself.
Of course, “Bison God” Bello also has his own considerations.
The core power of “Ms. Crow” is [Plague], but it has a total of three domains of [Unclean], [Plague], and [Death].
After the original main **** “Reaper” Wuhao fell into silence, and the power of [Death] could not be manifested, mass killings and deaths close at hand would inevitably benefit the expansion of the power of “Ms. Crow”.
Like a hundred years ago.
The Hilius, who first landed in the New World, brought various infectious diseases to the Atrians on a large scale. Even in the early days of colonization, many indigenous tribes died before they saw the colonists.
It was the large-scale epidemic that greatly enhanced the power of’Ms. Crow’, successfully freed herself from the shackles of faith, and was promoted to the position of Totem God.
Originally, I was here just to gather the “ghosts” who flew here to expand my power, but if I can eliminate these colonists who once offended the ladies~IndoMTL.com~, it would definitely be a good thing with multiple birds.
However.
The “Buffalo God” who has just joined the “Ms. Crow” Yeheer, although he is eager to offer a name to consolidate his position. But as a totem **** who has lived for hundreds of thousands, how can he be used as a spear so easily, and confront an unknown enemy if he is reckless?
Hold up the obsidian saw sword in his hand.
Om——
The golden waves spread out like water waves. Behind him, countless spirit bodies formed a green and secluded torrent, which had already poured down towards the soldiers’ camp in the valley.
Boom!
It is precisely using the natural personal advantages of the third-order totem gods to drive the “ghosts” and “natural spirits” to clear mines for themselves.
Bell! bell! bell! …
In the camp, an instant alarm bell was made.
“Enemy Attack——!”
