Merlin City and Teide City are located on the northwest and north sides of Sioux New Town, respectively.

There are about 10,000 people in the territory of Merlin City, which is the total population of Merlin City.

The population of Ted City alone in the city is more than 15,000 people, but this is only within the city, in the territory of Ted City, there are many villages and farmlands, including the forcible occupation that has not been approved by the above, so the actual population of Ted City is more than 20,000.

From the very beginning, there were many fields and rural people in the fiefdom of Teide City, and in the era of backward productivity, whoever had more land could raise more troops.

This makes Teide's military strength stronger than the surrounding city-states, which makes him often find reasons to expand, which makes him even stronger.

The contradiction between Ted City and Merlin City is the greatest, especially after the lord of Ted City took office, he began to squeeze the territory of Merlin City unscrupulously and frantically, looking for reasons to encroach on the villages and farmland on the outskirts of Merlin City.

Because the surrounding city-states have not been oppressed by Ted City for the time being, and they are afraid of conflict with Ted City, they have no intention of helping Merlin City, and the same is true for Suxin City.

And such a small action as the encroachment of farmland between the city-states is not enough to attract the attention of the empire, after all, the empire is in charge of everything, so why should it be divided into feuds?

The empire was reluctant to meddle in these matters, and the lords did not want the empire to meddle in too many affairs, resulting in wars between city-states were not uncommon, and even common.

The dispute between Ted City and Merlin City has not been a year or two, and the two sides have fought five large-scale wars alone, the largest of which has involved a total of 8,000 people!

Not long ago, seeing the harvest season, Ted City sent soldiers to expel the peasants of several villages on the side of Merlin City, hoping to seize the fruits of the labor of the villagers of Merlin City, which once again caused a dispute between the two cities.

Merlin once again asked for help from the surrounding city-states, but still received no response.

There is also a conflict between Suxincheng and Tide City, during the reign of Su Zheng's father, Tide City occupied an enclave village in Suxin City, although it has a population of only more than 100 people, but because this village is close to the river that can drive the waterwheel, there are several waterwheel workshops, all of which were occupied by Tide City.

.

"Your Royal Highness the City Lord, the number of troops in Ted City is as high as 4,800 now, including 500 cavalry, which is extremely large

..."Chris said with a bitter face, and when he heard this, Su Zheng muttered quietly:

"Hey, close to about 25% of the people who are out of production, it is indeed a lot..."

Even though there is a perennial war, there is hardly a famine.

No large-scale famine has ever been recorded in the history of the Western Continent, so the population is even in a state of slow growth in the face of perennial war.

Both the Warring States and the Middle Ages of the earth expressed real-name envy.

This also makes the number of soldiers who can afford it quite high, even in an agrarian civilization.

.

After listening to Chris's introduction, He Jing couldn't recognize it and laughed

: "Poofhaha, His Royal Highness the City Lord, the number of troops on the other side is about the same as your population, what are you going to fight with others?"

Without waiting for Su Zheng to speak, Chris continued to add:

"In addition, there seem to be two magicians in Ted City, and it is not clear what the specific magicians are for the time being."

Su Zheng was taken aback by these words, for the mortal world, magicians are strategic-level existences, which are enough to affect the direction of the entire war.

"What?mage?when, why don't I know?"

"These are the cruel words that Ted City released when they provoked Merlin City some time ago, and they paid a lot of money to hire a mage to fight for them. "

The war between the city-states can be completely controlled by one or two magicians

! And He Jing's strength is obvious to everyone, she is afraid that one person can match a city!

Hearing Chris say that there were two magicians on the other side, Su Zheng retreated in his heart, but He Jing didn't care, and teased Su Zhenglai

: "What, do you still have the confidence to deal with them now?"

Hearing this, Su Zheng said with some unconvincing:

"The two magicians on the other side won't be afraid of your shock!"

"That's not necessarily"

He Jing pulled the sword out of his waist again, controlling it to flutter and play in front of him, and said casually

"The source of the law in Xizhou is barren, there are no magicians, and most of those who have the ability to go to Zhongzhou to awaken and learn magic have chosen to stay in Zhongzhou. Of course, there are also many magicians in the Middle Continent who come to the West Continent to make a living, most of them have no strength in themselves, and they basically can't get along in the Central Continent, so they come to the West Continent to show off their might. It's just a group of low-level scum in Zhongzhou, and they have become guests when they come to Xizhou.

Su Zheng suddenly felt that this plot was a little familiar, isn't this the same as some foreign teachers on the earth

? Then Su Zheng looked He Zheng up and down, and asked with a smile

: "What about you? Are you also in Zhongzhou and can't get along anymore, so you came to Xizhou

?" "What do you think?"

He Zheng smiled at Su Zheng, and then controlled the long sword to slash in front of Su Zheng, Su Zheng hurriedly raised his hand and said:

" Haha, your strength is beyond doubt......"

Through He Jing's words, Su Zheng can be sure that this He Jing's strength is definitely not ordinary, and he must at least be middle-class and upper-class in Xizhou to dare to say this, but he just knows why she came to Xizhou.

However, from this point of view, not everyone in Zhongzhou is as strong as He Jing, and Su Zheng's heart is also a lot more relieved.

Seeing that He Jing was so confident, as if the weak one on the other side was not worth mentioning at all, Su Zheng suddenly felt that he was doing it again.

At this time, Lei Ming also rushed to the City Lord's Mansion.

After seeing the thunder coming, Su Zheng explained his battle plan to Chris and him.

"Let's notify Merlin City first, show our attitude of cooperation with them, and then agree on a time, we will form a coalition to attack the territory of Teide City, Chris, how long will it take for the red-coated

cannons?" "The casting of the first batch of 10 cannon barrels has been completed, the second batch of cannon barrels is also being cast at an accelerated pace, and the other parts have already been made by the carpenter" "

Okay, the assembly of 20 cannons must be completed in five days, what about the gunpowder and projectiles?".

"Gunpowder... Belch... I can't count the specific situation, but in short, the finished gunpowder products are enough! There are 50 iron pellets, 80 stone pellets, and a large number of iron sand iron filings and stones.

"Okay. Thundering, pick out dozens of clever points, and prepare to train them to be gunners, in this way, Chris, you assemble the ten cannons first, and send them over to let Thunder organize training first.

Su Zheng crackled and gave instructions to Chris and Lei Ming, while He Jing looked at Su Zheng with a confused face, and when Su Zheng finally stopped, she asked suspiciously:

"Big.. Cannon... What is it?"

Hearing He Jing's inquiry, Su Zheng turned to look at her, and looked He Jing up and down with his hands behind his back.

"You people in the Middle Continent seem to have a very high respect for the

Holy Lord Goddess, right?" Su Zheng asked, He Jing was stunned for a moment, and said with great certainty:

"That's nature, the Holy Lord Goddess created human beings and ...... herself

" "Hey, wait a minute..."

Su Zheng interrupted He Zheng, seeing this, He Jing squinted at Su Zheng and asked

, "You shouldn't be a heretic, right?" In other words, there are many heresies in Xizhou, and even the church does not have a high right to speak..."

"Uh... I just want to say that before I tell you the secret of the cannon, you need to swear to the Holy Lord Goddess that you will not kill me after discovering the secret of the cannon..."

Hearing Su Zheng's concern, He Jing looked a little angry.

"Rest assured, I have sworn allegiance to you, and I will not be able to kill you until I have once again made it clear to the Holy Lord that I have broken my vows! Your Highness the City Lord, you don't seem to trust me very much, but I want to tell you that magicians are not as untrustworthy as you mortals, especially when you swear in the name of the Holy Lord Goddess!"

Seeing this, Su Zheng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and after a while, Su Zheng looked at Chris:

"The military zone is open to Knight Heqing, and she can enter the military zone at any time.

Then Su Zheng looked at He Jing and said

, "When the cannon experiment begins, I'll call you!"
