Chapter 2092 Unexpected Peace

The Wilder family's army was quickly transformed and became the local residents of Wasteland City. The Wilder family itself was full of fear about the failure of this expedition. An army of 5 is already an extremely elite army in this era, and they are all cavalry. Maintaining the logistical supplies of such an army requires consuming all the resources of the entire family. The combat power can even attack cities and territories everywhere, if it were not for the fact that there are no other cities suitable for occupation near the two cities occupied by the Wilder family. They had already captured it.

This is the army that has been almost invincible in plain field battles. He just disappeared silently during the expedition. The troops responsible for logistics and maintenance also disappeared silently after entering the territory of Wasteland City, as if it was a bottomless pit. Almost no one who enters it comes out alive.

Only a handful of people escaped from the battlefield. Telling the people who were still alive about the cruelty on the battlefield made them finally understand everything that had happened before.

A terrible war broke out on the battlefield before. Skyfire falls from mid-air and explodes violently after landing on the ground. Extraordinary beings glide through the sky on strange machines with wings. Terrifying and powerful magic, thrown from the sky for free.

It was as if there were dozens of great magicians using magic in the sky. Those sky fires are even more terrifying weapons. There are also bullets that kill people invisible. You can't see the flight path at all. By the time you feel it, you have already been hit. You can confirm that the bullet that hit you is a bullet. It is only after the body is dissected that you can find that some bullets will remain in the body. . Most people don't even know what hit them.

Amidst the smoke and fire. It is impossible to tell the difference between east, west, north and south. No one who was able to escape was lucky and unlucky. In their description, there was a steel dragon on the battlefield that was larger than the dragon and more terrifying than the dragon. They gallop across the battlefield faster than war horses, and can spit out cannonballs more terrifying than the flames of giant dragons. Hit targets miles away.

What's even more frightening is that there are many extraordinary beings appearing on the battlefield. Although their level is not high, their numbers are huge. Not only can it fly in the sky and throw weapons to attack, but it can also use its long hair to attack after landing, which is equally powerful.

The descriptions of the soldiers who escaped made the members of the Wilder family even more confused. In their descriptions, the opponents did not look like normal armies at all, but seemed to come from other worlds, like devils or gods. At least when they thought about it, humans simply didn't have such fighting power.

They want to continue sending people to test and take revenge. But for a while, he didn't have this ability at all. The most elite soldiers of the Wilder family never came back after going on an expedition. They have very little strength left on hand, and the total number of troops is only a few thousand. In this case, even maintaining the survival of one's own territory is a big problem. The most important problem is to continue the family and maintain the defense of these two cities.

As for the annihilation of the main force of the legion, try to keep it as quiet as possible, and find ways to guide members of other nearby families to explore the area of ​​Wasteland City. It would be best if their main force could be completely annihilated there. Only in this way can a balance be achieved.

Cheng Ying is actually a little worried that his strength will be leaked. In that case, he might be surrounded by a large army. This is almost a given if anyone realizes the gravity of their existence.

However, based on the information passed back by the investigators sent by him, he found that he had made a major mistake in his judgment. The more important thing for these nobles was to maintain the existence of his family. Rather than maintaining the entire aristocratic system.

This city is ruled by Cheng Ying. It violated the aristocratic system and adopted a completely different governance method, but the nobles actually didn't know this about the previous war. It can only be regarded as a glimpse. At most, we can see their powerful military power, but not their internal political system. So at most, it is regarded as a strong enemy appearing there. The best way is to beggar your neighbor, let your neighbors fill the hole, provoke powerful enemies, and then be destroyed.

Instead of informing people widely and then sacrificing themselves as a vanguard, they also want to destroy this powerful enemy.

Even if they know the political system here, they know how to let it continue to develop. It may destroy the entire aristocratic system, but it may not be able to unite. After all, each family has its own interests. If you sacrifice yourself for the benefit of the entire aristocracy, the other party will only take advantage of your bones and will not remember your goodness. Let your family continue.

Chengying somewhat overestimated the class consciousness of these nobles. It was found that they did not realize that the crisis was coming, which was convenient for Cheng Ying. He could continue to promote the development of technology in his territory and promote the advancement of productivity.

After the emergence of new flying mounts, these mounts were first used not on the battlefield, but among the people. They were used as couriers to carry important letters between cities. Some items that are not too heavy can also be sent by post.

When necessary, you can actually make them familiar with the flight path and then let them fly there by themselves. Without a knight, they can carry more items. After all, a knight weighs hundreds of kilograms no matter how light he is. This weight can already carry a lot of items.

The intelligence of such a large flying species is actually quite high. Birds use their brains more efficiently than mammals. In addition, they are large enough and their brains are large enough. Although the intelligence is not as good as that of humans, it is no worse than cats and dogs. Maybe even a little stronger.

Having such an IQ is enough to remember the roads, and there is no problem traveling between different cities. Although in this era, with the development of technology, wired telegrams can already be sent. During the construction process of major cities, corresponding cables were laid along railways and highways, but what could be transmitted was only information. If you really want to actually send items, you can only rely on the road network and railway network. Even if this kind of thing is very fast, it is difficult to transport the items to the place on the same day.

So the easiest way is to rely on the air express delivery system. With this kind of mass production of flying geese, the transportation capacity in the sky cannot be underestimated. Although some large items cannot be transported in this way, there are actually not too many large items that require express delivery in daily life.

You can even start civil aviation business after the number of corresponding mounts is sufficient. This kind of civil aviation business is not a passenger aircraft but flying on the body of a big goose. It is somewhat characteristic of the times.

This is also to prepare for future wars. If everyone is accustomed to traveling on that goose, then on the battlefield, they can change their profession at any time as a knight to complete bombing missions in the sky.

At the same time as Sky's transportation network developed, the territory also began to expand outwards. Although the radius of 500 miles was very large, and there were two of them, it would take a long time to develop. But industrial development requires not only coal mines and iron ores, but also a large number of other natural resources. Not all places have sufficient natural resources to meet the development of the entire industrial system. Many resources are not available in some places and can only be found in other places. Under this restriction, Chengying must also expand the business scope of his territory. For example, rubber or something like that. They are almost impossible to find here, because both continents are in areas with relatively high latitudes. The areas close to the equator where rubber trees could be grown were completely outside their control. You can only ask your neighbors for it.

The more interesting thing is that the wasteland becomes the area where the two sides are located. In the northern and southern hemispheres respectively. The difference in latitude is not too big. So there is a strange phenomenon. That is, when one side is in winter, the other side happens to be in summer.

This is of great help to the planting of food, because the seeds and good food production on both sides can just complement each other, so that there is almost food output throughout the year. More importantly, it facilitates the development of animal husbandry. .

The reason why nomads need to chase aquatic plants is because climate changes cause grasslands to wither in the cold winter, and they have to go to warmer places. After eating up one grassland, they have to go to another one.

A major impact of the difference in climate between the two sides is that in the summer, people here can graze freely. When the cold winter comes, the normal prelude is to spend a lot of money to store a large amount of licorice. For use in winter.

However, compared with fresh grass, these forages are still relatively lacking in nutrients for livestock. If it is a cow, eating this kind of hay will reduce milk production to a certain extent, and other livestock will also be affected to a greater or lesser extent. Not to mention that it also costs more to store manually cut grass.

And when there is a portal, you can perform some extremely outrageous operations, that is, run directly from one side of the portal to the other side. So summer has just ended, and when you go to the other side, you find that spring has just begun. Soon, another midsummer with abundant water and grass will soon come.

So this cycle goes back and forth. There is no need to reserve aquatic plants at all.

But there are grasslands and plains on both sides. All have temperate climates. This means that it is basically impossible for things like rubber to grow here. You can only look further south or north. The lords of the territories there cultivated such plants. There is also a lot of growth in that area itself.

Although before the advent of the industrial era, rubber products did not have such a big market. But its various characteristics are still very practical, and it was an important strategic resource even in the feudal era.

How to obtain these resources can be approached from two perspectives. One is to capture these cities, and the other is to trade. War costs money, and it costs a lot of money, and delays production.

At present, Chengying's main strategy is production and development, so his choice is to buy from the lords of these territories. Trade is more beneficial to them. Because there is a huge gap between industry and handicrafts, especially agriculture.

If everyone stops fighting and trades according to the rules, they will gradually find that all the wealth in the world will gather in the direction of Wasteland City. In the end, there is no need to fight the war, because who will be the new generation of empire master has been determined through trade.

Of course, this kind of thing is impossible to happen in reality. If you have too much wealth and don't have enough power to protect it, it will inevitably lead to death.

However, the surrounding lords had more or less heard about the previous war. I know that Wasteland City is not easy to mess with. Therefore, when facing the caravan sent by Wasteland City, they all appeared to be very polite. The key product sold by the caravan sent by Cheng Ying was iron pots. Although these iron pots could also be smelted and remade into weapons, they basically didn't care about weapons such as swords.

After all, these things have been gradually eliminated by the times, and with their industrial level, it is not an easy task to recast these iron pots and make them into iron pipes. It is not easy to make qualified weapons with just such a small amount of steel. Almost impossible. Therefore, Wasteland City has nothing to worry about selling metal products such as iron pots.

Although the metal smelting technology in this world is pretty good and can even produce full-body plate armor, this does not mean that the price of steel products will be cheap. Being able to produce plate armor does not mean that the value of plate armor is low.

Being able to make an iron pot doesn't mean that everyone can afford it. This kind of high-quality and cheap things immediately opened up the market. Various metal products were exchanged for boxes and boxes of rubber, which were transported back in large quantities through railway lines. Other resources from various places were also completed through similar trade methods. trade.

In addition to basic products such as iron pots, items such as bicycles that were already considered luxuries to a certain extent were quickly becoming popular in nearby territories.

The production prices of these industrial products in Wasteland City are very low, but they are all rare treasures in cities outside. Invisibly, a large amount of resources are flowing rapidly into the scope of Wasteland City. Although no war broke out in this way, the productivity of the surrounding territories was crazily harvested in a peaceful way.

At a certain level, it is equivalent to everyone in the surrounding territories working for them, so that these people can work better and produce more wealth. Chengying even took the initiative to spread some technologies and some improved food seeds to ensure that these peripheral cities could explode with stronger productivity. After all, if you want things like leeks to grow vigorously, you still need to It needs watering and fertilizing.
