We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

After stopping and thinking for a while, Teresica asked the leader of the Shapeshifters to inquire and determined what he wanted to know.

"Shining, Salus, let's go see the combat effectiveness of Victoria's soldiers and Shenchi's troops."

.........

There were more and more Victoria soldiers around, but there were not many Tara people standing.

"Damn Victoria lackeys! I will make you repay ten times the lives of the people of Tara one by one!"

Mandela roared angrily, and she tried her best to activate the Origin Stone skills to raise stone pillars to create bunkers for her men, but she alone could not withstand the concentrated fire of Victoria's soldiers.

She originally thought of retreating at the beginning of the exposure, but considering that she was escorting the machine tools in Shenchi, she tried to retreat slowly with these goods.

Until a fireball from a Victoria soldier blew up a cargo box to pieces, and all that appeared in front of Mandela were heavy stones.

She immediately understood that she was being used as a false target, but she was not angry. She knew that tonight's transaction was very important. If she attracted the attention of the Victoria soldiers, it meant that the real transaction must be going on normally.Then the independent cause of the Tara people has not been affected!

But by this time, Mandela had missed the best opportunity to evacuate, and Victoria's soldiers were moving much faster than she imagined.

"Chief, the Victorians have surrounded us!"

The shouts of her subordinates made Mandela anxious. She could definitely break out of the encirclement by herself, but what about these Tara people?What about her kin?

"Surrender, you have no way out!"

Hamilton, who was in charge of the command, stood up and shouted that he wanted to capture the leader alive, so that he might be able to catch a big fish.

But the only response he got was the curses from the people of Tara.

"Go to hell, Victoria's bastard!"

Amid the colonel's roar, Victoria's soldiers stepped up their attack pace, overwhelming the Tala people to the point where they could not launch a counterattack.

"My lord, these Deep Pool soldiers are all Tara people."

"Oh, really……"

Teresica, who was hiding in the darkness and observing, really didn’t know what expression she should use to view the scene in front of her. It was obviously not the weapons of the Tara people, but the Tara people really regarded the deep pool as their own life-saving straw. , so dedicated.

After hearing the shapeshifter's words, he looked at Shining and Salus.

"Are you sure you can kill all of Victoria's soldiers?"

"can."

"Then... Shenchi gave us a gift, so we should respond."

After receiving the order, Shining and Salus pulled out their weapons and put on masks to hide their faces.

Victoria's soldiers suddenly noticed that two invisible figures appeared in front of them. They were hidden under their cloaks, and the sword blades in their hands were waving in the crowd, like hot knives cutting butter.

In the dim desert, many soldiers didn't know what happened. They just felt that they were sprayed in the face by warm liquid for no reason, and then their teammates beside them fell to the ground.

Mandela and other remaining Deep Pool soldiers who were under siege also looked confused. The number of Victoria soldiers who had been suppressing them was actually gradually decreasing!Although the Victoria soldiers still had a combat advantage, they no longer felt any pressure.

"Leader, who are those people?"

"I don't know, this is not Shenchi's outfit."

Mandela looked at the unknown people who suddenly appeared, and finally ordered to his subordinates: "Since they are helping us, they must be friendly! Come on! Fight with them."

At Victoria's headquarters, the officers noticed something was wrong from the report of the messenger. Another group of people seemed to have appeared on the battlefield, and there were frequent incidents of friendly force manslaughter on their side.

The situation seems to be getting out of their control!

"Order the magicians to withdraw from the battle and make every effort to maintain lighting on the battlefield. Also, immediately notify the remaining garrison troops to come over here. We must capture today...ah!"

Colonel Hamilton was about to send more men, but at this moment, a sharp blade broke out from behind.

The colonel turned his head in shock, and was shocked to find that the person who attacked him was Lieutenant Colonel Leto, and the soldiers in the headquarters were looking at him expressionlessly, showing no intention of stopping him.

"you……"

"The people with such frequent activities in Shenchi should have been caught long ago, but no matter who it is, as long as they are enemies of Victoria, I will help them. Feel honored, this is the standard short blade of Gaul officers."

Leto slit Hamilton's neck and after pushing his body aside, he ordered to his soldiers.

"Stop all fighting. I want to have peaceful talks with Shenchi and the unknown forces."

"Yes!"

The surrounding soldiers responded to their commanders in Gallic.

The chaotic battlefield suddenly became quiet. Victoria's troops broke away from the battle line and began to gather together. Many film soldiers hurriedly left and fled into the darkness before the formation was clear.

Shenchi didn't understand why Victoria's troops stopped attacking, but they didn't withdraw. This led to Mandela and the others not daring to move, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

On Shining's side, he was approached by a soldier holding a white cloth. He handed over a letter, which he said was written by Commander Victoria himself, hoping that she would forward it to the person with the authority to command on Sakaz's side. Facilitate a three-way conversation.

Chapter 18 The Great Harvest

"Gaul?"

Looking at the words mentioned in the letter, Teresica pondered for a moment, and finally found the word in the corner of her memory.

This was a powerful country a hundred years ago. It was once the owner of the central continent of Terra. Later, it went to war with Ursus, Letania, and Victoria at the same time, and was ultimately defeated.

Most of its heritage has become Victoria's nourishment, but I didn't expect that today, a hundred years later, there would still be people calling themselves Gaul.

"Go and have a look."

Teresica walked into the battlefield. Mandela and Leto were already waiting here. Victoria's soldiers were already far away, and there were only a few guards left around them.

"One of the leaders of Deep Pool, Mandela."

"The remnants of Gaul."

"Agent of the Sakaz Court."

After the mutual introductions were completed, Leto spoke first.

"My name is Leto, and I am a former Gaulish. I think we can reach an agreement on revenge against Victoria."

"You have killed many of us!"

Mandela glared at Leto angrily, and the ears of the film above his head stood up excitedly.

Leto didn't say anything, and just asked his men to carry out a corpse. "Today's action was planned by him. You have been unscrupulous in Xiaoqiu County for so long. If I hadn't pretended that I didn't see you, it would have been over. I remind you again." In short, I will be transferred to Londinium soon and will no longer be responsible for the security here, so you’d better be careful.”

"Humph!"

Mandela snorted unconvinced and ordered his men to drag away Hamilton's body, but he whispered softly as he passed Teresica.

"Thank you."

"Should be."

Teresa responded with a polite smile.

The people in Shenchi quickly disappeared into the night. Teresica turned to look at the middle-aged officer in front of her and asked curiously, "This citizen of Gaul, do you have anything to do with me?"

In the previously submitted letter, the lieutenant colonel made a transaction request, but did not explain it.

"Hello, agent of the Royal Court. From a standpoint, hundreds of years ago, our two countries were actually enemies."

"But now, Victoria is our common enemy." Teresica said: "The enemy of my enemy can be a friend."

"Well, you're right, that's why I came to you."

Leto thought for a while and said: "My soldiers caught Shen Chi collecting Originium detection equipment. The boxes they disguised tonight are all industrial transport boxes for machine tools... You are exchanging Originium for machine tools. .”

"You guessed it right."

Teresica nodded.

"Then, I also want to continue this trading method."

Leto handed over a document, "Victoria recently has a brand new Originium ballista that is about to be put into production to replace Victoria's current military individual crossbow, so the entire military production line and workers are making adjustments."

"A military-standard individual crossbow production factory has been in operation for many years. Although the machines are old, they are still usable. Now it is handed over to me for destruction. I haven't actually touched it yet. I can sell you all the things inside. Including the design drawings, technical documents and production process documents of this equipment."

"Hmm... something very tempting, so what do you want?"

Teresica asked, I'm afraid the price of such a good thing is really not low.

"I want to refine the source stone ingots. I only need 100% pure ones, 10 tons."

What Leto said surprised Teresica, "The Originium detection equipment has no reaction to it. Do you want to bring it into the city? With such a large amount, do you want to assassinate someone?"

"No, I'm just trying to make the biggest difference from you with the current price of Origin Stones in Victoria. I need a lot of things, and the position of lieutenant colonel can't accomplish the goal, and I've almost used up half of my life."

"I understand, now I can only give you 2 tons first."

"Okay, before I leave Xiaoqiu County, I will hand over everything to you at once. I believe you won't do any tricks."

"Of course, you may be able to give us more in the future, and we will try our best to meet your price."

Teresica held Leto's hand and said, "The deal is established. I wish us a happy cooperation and good luck in your promotion."

The trip in Victoria was extended.Teresica took advantage of Leto's cover and took Zeppelin to inspect the military factory.Moreover, with the cover of the Xiaoqiu County garrison, the shapeshifter disguised as Film was moving the machine openly and openly under the eyes of the Victoria management agency.

Those officials really thought that these people were workers carrying out destruction tasks, and they yelled at them.

"Move quickly! You haven't eaten yet!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The shapeshifters smiled flatteringly, and their pace quickened a bit.

The machine tools were carried onto the transport ship one by one. Not only that, a large number of completed and semi-finished products left in the factory were also taken away, and a large number of technical documents and drawings were packed in garbage bags. , was transported out of Xiaoqiu County under the disgusting looks of the officials.

The source stones brought out were completely sold, and Sakaz's transport team embarked on its return journey.

Returning to Kazdale, the installation, debugging and dismantling of the machine tools were carried out immediately.

The obsolete equipment of Sakaz's entire army was also gathered together at this time and began to be repaired in a unified manner.

If the regular infantrymen were excited when they saw the well-repaired armor and weapons, the shooters were almost crazy. They actually used Victoria's military standard crossbow!

The worn-out crossbows that had been repaired and repaired in the past and were still precious were thrown aside, and all the archers in the army were gathered together to receive Victoria's individual crossbows.

The shooters carefully took over the individual crossbows that still smelled brand new from the factory. They held these crossbows as if they were holding fragile cubs in their arms.

Someone even ran away from the team, washed his hands and dried them before running back, because he was afraid that the dust on his body would damage the weapons.

The Kazdaele Military Council, which Teresica had never seen before, now took the initiative to come to his side and kept trying to talk things over.

After all, they had done nothing, and suddenly they had machine tools to repair equipment and new weapons.

"You don't need to be so excited."

Teresica stopped these people's behavior, "I now have an idea that I may need to make some personnel adjustments to the entire army."

"Please order, Your Majesty."

The older Sakaz in front of them all leaned down.

"I want to gather all the soldiers in the army who have certain practical skills and can repair equipment to establish an industrial skills school."

Teresica said that the only people in Kazdael who can be called industrial technicians are the few Sakaz from Zeppelin. Without expanding the number of personnel, they will not be able to develop at all!

With Kazdaele's current level of education, it is more suitable to start machine tool skills training directly, that is, those in the military who can prepare for repairs by themselves.

But this also means that the army will lose all the craftsmen who can directly command it in the coming period. If there is any problem with the equipment, it can only be returned to the factory for repair.

Chapter 19 Food Issues

After hearing this, the members of the Kazdaele Military Council expressed that they needed to think about it. It happened that several clan leaders also came over at this time, and they brought their work reports during this period.

During the month he left Kazdaele, Sakaz's census had been completed.The report submitted by the pardoner stated that the proportion of infected people in Sakaz has reached 30% of the population, and there are many newborn children, but the number of children aged 1 and 2 has dropped significantly, and the birth rate and high Mortality rates coexist.

Seeing that Teresica had been staring at this page of the report, the Pardoner explained: "The current medical system in Sakaz has long since collapsed. Ordinary residents rely on basic common sense that has been retained for a long time, or medical magicians to maintain it. Your own health and dealing with illness.”

Teresica's eyes widened, and after that came Banshee, who handed in a report about the school.

Judging from the report, the construction of the school has been completed a long time ago. It was directly renovated by using unoccupied vacant rooms. All the teachers have been found, but there are only very few students.

"Why is this? Why are there not many students?"

Teresica asked in surprise, this is completely inconsistent with the statistics of children aged 6-12.

"There are a lot of children who need simple productivity at home, and parents may not have the means... to send their children to school."

The Banshee Patriarch's face showed embarrassment. Although everyone knew the importance of education, survival could not be ignored.
