A war between alchemists.
Even if you get the opponent's road map, it will take some time to complete the siege.
So after Crowe gave the order.
The alchemist goes deep into the border to fight.
On the border, there are the border nobles of the Alpha Kingdom and the pioneering legions of the Orc Kingdom.
All entered a period of relative peace.
The river mouth city built by Fang Yuan.
With the addition of the original Blood Forest Giant.
The construction speed is very fast.
On the other side of the river, the city blocking the trade road has been completed.
The construction of the bridge is also halfway completed.
At the same time, control of the swamp territory.
Under the high-intensity blow of Assis with the sword gryphon knight.
All the frogmen in the swamp territory were killed.
The entire swamp has been completely controlled by Fang Yuan's army.
In this secret realm.
In just one and a half months.
Fang Yuan has already captured a territory that is equivalent to that of a duke.
The speed of advancement is not unsatisfactory.
"Your Excellency."
"We investigated several remaining territories in the swamp territory."
"We can confirm that we will start from the Sam Territory and go to the Hessen Territory in the south."
"There are a total of six noble realms in the middle, all of which have castles and corresponding hardened roads. This is the most suitable place for garrisoning troops."
"We will station our armies here separately."
"It will not be discovered, and at the same time, it can provide quick support when needed."
Christian spoke.
And the reason for doing this.
There are a large number of alien races in the awakened legion under Fang Yuan.
Such as barbarians, orcs, elves, dwarves, etc.
During this period of time in this secret realm, these races were hidden in various places and did not appear in the human kingdom.
In this era.
Human beings are the masters of the continent.
And once it was discovered that he had a large number of alien legions under his command.
It is likely to attract the same hatred from the human kingdom.
Then the difficulty of being in the secret realm will skyrocket.
He might even be defeated and die.
This is also the reason why Fang Yuan never wanted to be exposed.
It is really that this secret realm is special and it is too difficult for me to suppress.
The existing power cannot be pushed aside.
He looked at the location drawn on the map.
All twists and turns, all hidden deep in the swamp.
"Notify the legion that needs to be hidden."
"Enter the Swamp."
"Wait!"
"Where Sam leads, let's let the human army go."
"Let the awakened elves and barbarians settle in, and mix in some human gun and shield infantry."
Fang Yuan's command, that is, Lamo City still retains gun and shield infantry.
These are the kind of characters who were cannon fodder in the Old World.
Once inside the secret realm, they can actually display good combat effectiveness.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Then Fang Yuan looked towards the Moulin Rouge territory.
Standing at your feet is Nan'an City, which is under construction.
Aria, a city on the north coast, is garrisoned with 1,500 guardian knights.
Among the soldiers who have awakened these days, there are quite a few guardian knights.
Just give it to Commander Aria.
In addition, there are also human crossbowmen and human sword and shield infantry produced by some military leaders.
Even in the cities on the north coast, it can be considered an elite combat force among the border nobles.
And here on the south bank.
The castle is still under construction.
But 3,000 legions were stationed.
Except for the gryphon knights and elf archers stationed in the valley behind.
The main ones are the Holy Light Knights, Paladins, War Priests, and the Blue Wind and Furious Water bloodline knights.
The former's combat effectiveness is beyond doubt.
Even if it is suppressed by the secret realm, even if it cannot use the power of the holy light.
In terms of pure force.
The combat effectiveness of Holy Light units is also extremely powerful.
The latter two bloodline knights.
These were originally just cannon fodder characters.
I didn't expect that in the secret realm, I could actually take the lead.
The power of blood is the least suppressed in the secret realm.
Just like the original Blood Forest Giant, although it was suppressed and could not shrink in size.
But the huge size can still crush the same level.
The two bloodline knights are also average.
As more and more troops wake up.
Fang Yuan also discovered his own advantages.
There are many types of legions under his command.
There are people of all races.
This allows the troops under his command to find and suppress weaker legions.
And this is an advantage.
Put it on the battlefield and it may determine the outcome of the war.
"The construction speed of the South Bank and the construction of the bridge must be accelerated."
"News from Brainy."
"The process of the orcs intercepting and killing the alchemists is accelerating."
"Several high-level alchemists have died in their hands."
"Once the alchemist is almost dead."
"The vanguard of the orcs is about to attack."
"We are on a trade road, so we must be the focus of our attack."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Then Fang Yuan checked the terrain map around Moulin Rouge.
His fingers pressed on the location of the frontline outpost.
"What is Guderian doing recently?"
"Your Excellency, intercept the caravan."
"A large number of caravans appeared in Tire City."
"These caravans originally only traded in the city of Tire."
“But recently, I don’t know why.”
"The caravan began to penetrate deep into the various lower territories."
"Guderian is afraid that they will appear in our territory."
"So go ahead for dozens of kilometers."
"Plundering caravans everywhere."
"For this reason, I also met some nobles, and they also took a fancy to these caravans."
"Treat them as fat sheep."
Hearing this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel happy.
"There is such a good thing."
"How was the harvest?"
"I heard it's very good. There are three big boxes of magic crystals sent back."
"There are also a lot of gold, silver, jewelry and supplies."
"The territory can be built so fast."
"The resources Guderian sent back are partially credited."
Fang Yuan nodded.
"Then let Guderian increase his efforts."
"The scope can be expanded a bit."
"We can win over more nobles!"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
At the same time as Fang Yuan gave the order.
In Tire City at this time.
Each caravan looked at the news of battle losses with sad faces.
Inside the merchant guild.
"Damn it, where did so many bandits come from on the border?"
"It's all the border nobles who are interested in making money!"
"The Governor must be asked to severely punish him."
Naihe~
No one listened to this.
In this secret era, businessmen basically make money with their heads up.
If there is no background, you will basically be robbed when you go out.
The backend doesn't work in other countries.
This has resulted in business not being prosperous in the current era.
But because of the coming of the evil god.
The changes in the business system brought about are backed by gods.
This allowed business to flourish.
But even so, being robbed is common.
Again!
This time the caravan entered the border not for the purpose of making money.
But for investigation.
After hearing the rants from those real businessmen.
The caravans sent by the evil god were all silent.
They are waiting for their leader's statement.
At this time, the leaders of each caravan.
They are gathering together to discuss how to deal with the situation at hand.
"The situation is not right, too many people died."
"These border nobles are a group of bandits. We must find a way to fight back."
"No way, we didn't bring too many people."
"Could it be that Fang Yuan sent people to attack?"
"It's not like, if it were him, the movement wouldn't be so small."
"And every time there are people who escape, the news they bring back shows that no alien legion has been seen."
"All human cavalry."
"Some of them were recognized, and they were the border nobles who personally led the team to rob."
"What a bastard, if this continues."
"We simply don't have enough people for them to kill."
Just when these caravan leaders didn't know what to do.
Suddenly a voice sounded.
"Maybe we can do it the other way around."
"Those caravans that can enter smoothly will most likely have no problem."
"Find those inaccessible areas and report them to our superiors."
"They were able to contact the orcs."
"At that time, let the orc army focus on attacking these places."
"If Fang Yuan were here, he would definitely be exposed."
This reverse thinking immediately shocked all the caravan leaders.
"It makes sense."
As he spoke, he opened the map and marked the location where his caravan was attacked.
As more and more locations are marked.
Soon, areas of focus were circled.
"Three directions."
"Northwest, leading to Lehman City."
"The pioneer lords over there are all paupers."
"Basically made up of criminals from the Alpha Kingdom."
"To the northeast, that is the newly developed territory composed of wandering knights."
"They call themselves the Cross Sword Alliance."
"They are also a bunch of poor people, but compared to the northwest."
"Only rob money but not kill people."
"The last direction is southwest."
"The trade route leading to the rainbow collar."
"The plundering nobles here are the most ferocious."
"Basically, we arrived at Tire City and robbed it."
"It has happened before that the caravan at the gate of the city was robbed."
"Even the city defense troops of Tire City dare not control it."
"The pioneering lords here are mainly composed of the pioneering territories outside the Rainbow Territory and the newly settled lords."
"The lords on the periphery of the Rainbow Territory suffered heavy losses, and the kingdom had difficulty in supplying supplies."
"Most of the newly settled lords are the second sons of various families."
"It stands to reason that he wouldn't be so vicious."
“But it’s here that grabs the most.”
"But every time, the damage is very serious."
"Ten caravans have gone, and one of them is lucky to come back."
"If I follow my intuition."
"The most likely place where Fang Yuan is hiding is in the southwest!"
Hear the caravan leader’s analysis.
There was immediate objection.
"On the contrary, I think it is more likely to be hidden among criminals."
"No, that Cross Sword Sword Alliance, at first glance, it was Fang Yuan who got the name."
In the conference room, a group of caravan leaders were noisy.
"Stop arguing."
The caravan leader who had originally suggested the solution stood up.
"Fang Yuan is not necessarily here, I just have a strong suspicion."
"Now we will send the information up."
"Just let the orcs focus on attacking later."
Then someone asked.
"Then should we send a caravan to investigate?"
"If you want to die, go ahead!"
These words made the other caravans shrink their heads.
And after this meeting.
The caravans in Tire City became more honest.
but!
Guderian from the southwest found that no caravans were coming.
It began to be marked with the doctrine of the Tell City caravan.
He gathered a group of pioneering nobles.
There are some from the land of rainbows and some not far from the Moulin Rouge.
Everyone comes together with one purpose.
Get rich!
Get rich!
Or TM's getting rich.
"Everyone."
"The news I got."
"The caravans in Tire City no longer dare to come to us."
"With less financial resources, your life will not be easy."
"These caravans are just a bunch of fat sheep. There is no reason to let them go."
"Hey, of course."
"You tell me what to do!"
"Yes, we all listen to you."
The previous successful plunder gave Guderian a lot of reputation.
The nobles were actually willing to obey.
Guderian looked at everyone.
"If they don't come, we will go."
"Kidnapping!"
"Force them to pay!"
As soon as these words came out, the other nobles looked embarrassed.
"But if we offend the governor, we won't be able to explain it easily!"
"Yes, last time we robbed a caravan in front of the city guards."
"His Excellency the Governor has asked us to hand over the murderer several times."
“Everyone is still under a lot of pressure.”
Guderian chuckled.
"Explain, what explanation."
"As long as you don't get caught red-handed, just say it was the orcs who did it."
"If the Governor's people dare to come here."
"Are the knives in your hands fire sticks?"
These words made everyone stunned.
But then Guderian said.
"Have you forgotten the joy of the past few days?"
"Are we going to continue to live in poverty?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the nobles showed unbearable expressions.
Then someone shouted.
"Do it!"
“We’ve reached the border, what are we afraid of?”
"That's right, don't talk about the Governor."
"Even if the king comes, he will still rob him."
"The border is based on strength. The city of Tire does not rely on us to deal with the orcs."
Under the temptation of huge benefits.
The nobles were bewitched by Guderian and began to enter the city and start kidnapping.
And Guderian has a clone of Crow in Tell City.
When it comes to doing things, it's almost a matter of time.
In just a few days.
The caravan leader sent by the evil gods was actually half dead.
The remaining half had to pay a huge ransom to save their lives.
The caravan in the city of Tire now.
Has become a frightened bird.
Not to mention going out to look for traces of Fang Yuan.
You have to be careful even when walking on the road.
After all, it was an accident.
A few strong men might jump out of the roadside and put themselves into sacks.
Then whether you can survive depends on how much money you have.
After many caravans were tied up.
In just a few days, the caravan brought huge amounts of money.
He was actually completely blackmailed.
This is a serious loss.
Even the followers of the evil god can't bear it.
One by one, they began to complain to the church behind them.
And this news was passed to the evil god.
"I estimated all possible difficulties."
"But TM just didn't take into account the shamelessness of the nobles!"
Poseidon gritted his teeth and cursed.
His caravan leader was kidnapped eight times in one day.
He was kidnapped just after leaving the house, then he paid a ransom, and was kidnapped again on his way home.
After eight attempts, the caravan not only lost all its money.
He still owes hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
Now he is trapped in the city of Tire, waiting for money to redeem his people.
"You bastard, there are four heroes I sent to the caravan, and they are all dead."
This is the roar of the harvest god.
"I started so many rebellions in the Alpha Kingdom."
"But I have never felt so aggrieved."
After a brief silence, a god asked.
"The role of the caravan is zero."
“Not only was the intelligence unable to be detected, it also became a burden to us.”
"Withdraw it and leave the rest to the Beast God."
The evil gods looked at the Beast God, waiting for his reply.
After pondering for a while, the Beast God spoke.
"There were reports of attacks from several directions before, and we guessed that Fang Yuan might be there."
"I think this idea is good."
"Wait until the war begins."
"I will tell the legion to focus on attacking in these directions."
"If Fang Yuan is here, then he will definitely be exposed!"
Then Poseidon asked.
"When can the attack begin?"
The beast god thought for a while.
"The information I got will be in three days at the earliest."
"This time the orc nobles achieved a great victory."
"Killed a large number of alchemists in the Alpha Kingdom."
"A full-scale attack is just a few days away!"
"Maybe in advance."
Hearing this time, the other gods' expectations arose in their hearts.
"Hope!"
"Fang Yuan is over there!"
"Hope!"
"Can kill him!"
Moulin Rouge.
"Your Excellency."
"The city of Tire wants us to give at least 100,000 gold coins."
"Otherwise, intercepting and killing the caravan will be difficult?"
Hearing this news, Fang Yuan had a headache.
I didn't expect Guderian to be so powerful.
The robbery of the caravan actually involved all the nobles.
It started with their kidnapping.
Later, the city guards also participated.
Eventually even the governor's bodyguards joined.
The caravan's wool has been harvested, and it is said that it still owes one million gold coins.
When the governor finally found out, he found that he had not made a cent.
He began to threaten the lords everywhere to pay tribute, otherwise they would be liquidated one by one.
Fang Yuan sneered at this.
The order was thrown away as trash.
Then he asked Aria beside him.
"The bridges and cities have been built."
"Count the time."
"The orcs should have gone south."
"Is there any latest information?"
Aria shook her head and was about to reply.
Suddenly there were footsteps outside.
Then Qingfeng's figure appeared.
"Your Excellency."
"Brainy information!"
"The alchemists of the Alpha Kingdom were wiped out."
"The orc vanguard is fifty thousand, led by the old patriarch of the Carlo family and heading south."
After hearing the news, Fang Yuan clapped his hands.
"Finally here!"
"Aria!"
"Here."
"The herald army immediately shrank into the castle."
"Wait."
"Guderian don't come back."
"Add another five hundred guardian knights to him."
Guderian was suited to staying outside as a mobile force.
When necessary, do some of the dirty work for yourself.
At the same time, he can also use the local nobles to protect himself from being discovered. "As you command!" (End of this chapter)
