Chapter 1698 Heading to the Eagle's Nest City 3
The farmland is a huge ring wrapping the entire Eagle's Nest City—speaking of which, the area of ​​the Eagle's Nest City itself is relatively small; the capitals of other countries place part of the farmland in the city to facilitate harvesting—after being During the siege, there would not be a complete lack of supplies; but the Eagle's Nest City was completely different.All the farmlands in the Eagle's Nest City are placed outside the city. This design is to reduce the space inside the city—that is, to make the length of the city wall less terrifying.Judging from the thickness and height of the city wall, the cost of building and repairing the city wall is far greater than that of other countries-the reason for the lack of repairs is probably because the current income of Eagle's Nest City is really not affordable. get up.This design is similar to the design of the city gate: either the enemy can’t reach the capital and can harvest it with confidence; or the enemy has reached the capital, and after harvesting all the food, fight to the death with the enemy—if they fail to attack, they will run out of food Under the threat of threats, the combat efficiency of soldiers will definitely be higher.What's more, there are still a certain number of airships in Eagle's Nest City, and the enemy must be prepared for long-term bombing if they want to besiege the city for a long time.With the height of the walls of Eagle's Nest City, it is completely impossible to attack the airships before they take off.

On the farmland, the yellowed crops are waiting to be harvested - from a long distance, you can see all kinds of agricultural machinery harvesting the crops with black smoke.This should be the last harvest before winter, right?Although Eagle's Nest City is not as cold as Baitao and Burning Rock, it is still not warm enough for plants to grow in winter.The Cliff City has fallen, and the enemy may launch an attack on the capital... If they occupy the outer area of ​​the Eagle's Nest City, they only need to send small-scale troops to destroy the farmland regularly, and the whole city can be destroyed without war. The inhabitants starved to death.

After seeing the layout of the Eagle's Nest City, the four of them became more aware of the importance of the four surrounding cities to the Eagle's Nest City - what they protected was not actually the Eagle's Nest City, but the crops near the Eagle's Nest City !Without food, airships, chariots, and soldiers will all lose their combat effectiveness!

With the current situation in Eagle's Nest City, even if you want to spend a high price to buy food from neighboring countries, you can't buy it—that is the common enemy of everyone!Once one party dares to sell food to the Falcon Country for that little benefit, they will be condemned by all the neighboring countries—as long as they are countries in the northern continent, even if they do not border the Falcon Country I don't like it.The losses caused by that will definitely be much more than the little money earned by the grain, and no one will do that kind of loss-making business.

Food... This is the most important issue that Eagle's Nest City needs to worry about at present.Once they couldn't defend the farmland near Eagle's Nest City, they would starve to death.

While thinking about it, the four of them had arrived at the gate of the Eagle's Nest City—only after getting closer could they feel how majestic the Eagle's Nest City was.The protruding part near the city wall was about half lower than the main body of the city wall, but the four of them still felt that it was enough to defend a conventional city—in other words, the city wall of Eagle's Nest City was twice as high as a normal city wall!
Such a huge wall, if you want to build it, you need to spend more money than "twice" can be summed up; this is the product of gathering the strength of the people of the whole country before the country of Falcon launched the war of conquest...!
