My Empire War Game

The New Year's celebration was held as scheduled. Although Zhenbei City was established for a short period of time and many places were still primitive, the New Year's celebration was still very lively.

Sullen specially asked Hathaway to make some magic fireworks. The gorgeous fireworks are really beautiful when they bloom in the night sky. The central square of the territory has become a sea of ​​joy. Because of the celebration, the food is not limited, but It is forbidden to waste. In order to maintain order, Su Lun also dispatched half of the soldiers to cooperate with the security team.

Fortunately, Su Lun did not open the supply of drinks, otherwise there would definitely be alcoholics making trouble. Although the various regulations in Zhenbei City are very strict, there are always people who want to challenge the rules and make trouble during the celebration. Su Lun directly asked Harrison to lead people to put these people in prison, and wait for the celebration to end. reprocessing.

Halfling Frodo prepared a lot of food. Of course, he instructed other chefs to make more food. He only made the food of Suren.

What surprised Su Lun was that some business-minded craftsmen in the territory made many small commodities, and then sold them during the festival. Su Lun did not prohibit this kind of behavior. The behavior of these people made this celebration even more. lively.

Their behavior was soon imitated by more people, so during the celebration, a group of small traders appeared in the territory.

The New Year's celebration lasted for three days, and when the celebration was over, a beep sounded in Su Lun's ear again.

"Congratulations, host, your territory town North City successfully added a new festival [New Year]. The festival date is January 1st every year, and the festival lasts for three days." At the same time, in Su Lun's system interface, the festival column Here's another New Year's holiday.

[New Year: The beginning of the year, which is one of the most important festivals in the year, and a grand celebration is held on this day every year. Festive atmosphere +10, joy +20, prosperity +5, order -3]

Although the New Year's celebration has ended, the aftermath of this grand ceremony has not faded away. For these slaves and the people at the bottom, this festival makes them feel joy from their hearts. The originally miserable days finally came to this city. Seeing a glimmer of hope, I am full of passion for life after this festival.

This is a vibrant land.

Hope is a beautiful thing, though sometimes it is small and weak, as if a gust of wind can blow it away, but given a chance they can burst with shocking power.

After the New Year, if it is in the southern provinces, it is already spring, but in the northern wasteland, it is still covered with heavy snow and the weather is still cold. This time is actually the most difficult time in the northern wasteland.

At this time, many tribes living in the wasteland have almost used up their food reserves. At this time, these tribes are also in the most dangerous time. They are already hungry and green eyes have turned their eyes to other tribes. Whenever there is a chance, they will jump on it without hesitation.

In fact, this territory of Surun has attracted the attention of other tribes in the wasteland. After all, the environment here is too good, and almost all races know that humans are best at growing various crops, and they have a lot of food. Under the leadership of Su Lun, Zhenbei City launched a series of wars against the surrounding tribes to quell those tribes, but in the face of starvation, they turned their attention to here again.

For a long time, the biggest dispute between humans and other intelligent creatures is land. Land is a resource and the first element of racial reproduction.

After the celebration, Su Lun did not relax his vigilance, all the scouts were sent out, and the training of the soldiers did not slacken at all, and even some refugees were forced to undergo military training.

In the interface of the barracks, in addition to training regular soldiers, there is also a militia option, which can train militiamen. The militia's combat capability is very low, but Su Lun does not want them to fight directly, but to act as auxiliary soldiers, following the defense of the city or transport supplies or something.

After this upgrade of Zhenbei City, each city wall is one kilometer long. Such a long city wall depends on the army and security forces of Zhenbei City. Even the city wall is dissatisfied. If other tribes really attack, it is the only way to let the militia participate in defending the city. way.

After ordering the recruitment of the militia, Harrison quickly recruited a thousand people from the refugees, and at the same time recruited a thousand people from the slaves, forming a militia team of 2,000 people.

In fact, the population structure here in Zhenbei Fort is very unreasonable. More than 70% of the population of Zhenbei City are men, and the number of women is less than 30%. This is because the number of women is very small, whether they are refugees or serfs. . This is also impossible.

However, although it brings some troubles, the advantage is that there are more adult men. Let the labor force of the territory always be abundant.

All the 2,000 militiamen have undergone primary military training, and they are not required to be strong, but the various instructions must be clear. The deployment of a large number of people to participate in military training has not had much impact on the construction of the territory. The current development bottleneck of Zhenbei City is still population.

After Zhenbei Fort is upgraded to Zhenbei City, more population is needed to fill it. If you want to develop in the Northland wasteland, it is impossible without population support.

In fact, Suren has decided that after the ice and snow melt, he will be ready to immigrate from Carthage City in large numbers. Although the northern provinces are not as prosperous as the south, they have a large population, just like Carthage City, although Suren does not have the same population. I have seen the city hall's population records, but according to his inference, the city's population is conservatively estimated to be around 200,000.

The population of other northern cities is as small as 10,000 or 20,000, and the most is directly 70,000 or 80,000. The combined population of the entire northern provinces is between one and a half million to two million.

During this time, Zhenbei City had gained a lot of wealth from trade. If it weren't for Zhenbei City hanging in the northern wasteland, those nobles would have already started to snatch it. Now they want to immigrate from their territory in large numbers without paying a lot of money. He was going to buy slaves in large quantities from these cities, while cooperating with the local nobles, and he paid for the population from the nobles.

The military training in Zhenbei City went very smoothly, especially with the addition of the drow elf instructor, which directly doubled the speed of military training. Although these drow elves believe in dark girls and belong to the good camp, it does not mean that they are virgins, and these drow elves are equally cruel and cruel to military training.

Anyone who failed to complete their training or violated the rules was brutally punished by drow instructors. What Su Lun asked of them was that as long as they were not disabled or seriously injured, they would be treated with them.

Such brutal training allowed those militiamen to complete their militia training in the shortest time possible. After the militia completed the training, Zhenbei City also had the confidence to support a large-scale war.

There are more and more peeping eyes from the surrounding tribes, and as time goes by, they are almost unable to hold on.

Half a month after the New Year's celebration, Su Lun received news from the scouts again, and found traces of orcs in the woods ten kilometers north of Zhenbei City. At the same time, the number of gnolls, goblins, and kobolds around the territory was obviously increasing. There are signs that war is coming.

At the same time, in the orc tribe, groups of orc warriors began to move towards Zhenbei City. The tribe's food was running out, but the war with the centaurs was still at a stalemate. In order to obtain more food weapons, they turned their attention to Zhenbei City.

According to their reconnaissance, the number of humans in this new city is not large, although they have built a city wall, but this cannot stop them.

For the orc tribe, dispatching some orc warriors can reduce the food consumption of the tribe, and even if the orcs fail in the end, it can also reduce the food pressure.

The orc warriors gathered a large number of gnolls, kobolds and goblins along the way. Although these monsters are not high in strength, they are still qualified as cannon fodder. After all, a human city is not easy to break, and the orc tribe has to face centaurs. Only 1,000 people could be dispatched, but by the time they arrived in Zhenbei City, the number had exceeded 6,000.

In addition to those orcs, a large number of small tribes that could not survive in the wilderness were gathered by them. Goblins, goblins, goblins, kobolds, gnolls, and a small number of trolls, under the temptation of food, they formed a group. Only a huge coalition.

It was five days later when Su Lun received the news. When he knew that the huge number of monster coalition forces were preparing to attack, Zhenbei City immediately closed the city gate, and the whole city went into a state of alert. And led a large number of archers and barbarian warriors to guard the river.

On the left side of Zhenbei City are the Hongsha River and Baishui River. If you want to attack from the north, you must cross these two rivers. After Zhenbei City has the Harvest Altar, the rivers near Zhenbei City have all thawed. You can only rely on boats to cross the river. .

The orc army chopped down a lot of pine trees, and then made them into rafts, ready to forcibly cross the river. But they underestimated Su Lun's army too much. Nearly a hundred longbowmen and elite archers blocked it. The monster army on the raft had suffered heavy casualties before it landed.

Under the rain of arrows, after paying huge casualties, the monster army finally successfully landed, but they were greeted by the army of spearmen who had been waiting for a long time and the barbarians eager to try.

It turned out that there was no accident. The monsters who had just landed were defeated by a charge of the barbarian guards before they had time to celebrate. The orcs who led the team had their heads cut off by the barbarians, and the remaining kobolds, goblins, and gnolls were all wiped out without breaking out any waves in front of the phalanx of spearmen.

The first confrontation between Zhenbei Fort and the orc coalition forces ended with the overall victory of Zhenbei Fort.
