After figuring out the Griffin Orcs' plan, everyone gave up.
"As expected of you, Commander. What's that word? So insidious and cunning!"
"Pah, that's resourceful!"
The fox orc couldn't help but applaud.
"Great! It turns out we weren't afraid of Lin Bo coming out at all, we were just afraid he'd hide in the dark like a coward!"
The hawk-winged orc raised an eyebrow.
"Coward? Are you using us to describe that old guy again?"
“Huh!”
The fox orc bared his teeth again.
Three hours later, the sun set.
The mayor's office of Yuecheng.
Lin Bo collected the orc intelligence from the front line.
As he expected, the group of simple-minded orcs who liked to imitate humans temporarily quieted down.
There will be no frontal siege in the short term.
Lin Bo opened the strategic map and glanced at several resource points outside the orc camp where food could be collected.
He muttered something in a voice that only he could hear.
"Send people to these farms and take back all their food. This will delay the war for a while longer."
Orcs are tall and strong, eat a lot, and need to replenish their food frequently.
If they buy out all the farms in these areas, they will have to go to farther places to transport grain.
What is lost in this back and forth journey is time that is extremely precious to Yuecheng.
As for...
Why are there several farms outside Yuecheng that clearly indicate they have grain stores?
We also need to start with the current situation in the world of Yuecheng.
The orcs had been fighting with Moon City for a year, so naturally they wouldn't have any military supplies or food left from their original world.
They fought a protracted war and ate food from their world.
Why do orcs in their world have a constant source of food and fodder to replenish their logistics?
Of course it was given by the traitor.
Yuecheng is just a special city in this world that has sovereignty and independence due to its geographical location.
Now it has become the first line of defense against the orcs.
Looking at the miserable state of the besieged Moon City, the other countries chose to wait and see after initially sending people to provide support but to no avail.
They shouted that they were powerless and unwilling to send their own experts to die.
On the other hand, they were secretly preparing to attack Yuecheng, and took advantage of the delay of Yuecheng to practice and prepare desperately.
Some traitorous countries, after seeing the power of the orcs.
He actually readily accepted the orcs' conditions and felt that there was nothing wrong with letting the orcs rule.
They are called slaves, but in fact they are just coolie workers who specialize in mining the minerals unique to their world.
With human wisdom, it is only a matter of time before a machine capable of autonomously mining spirit stones is invented.
Then manpower will be freed up.
It’s no different from the current work structure.
So while people from other countries were shrinking their territories and moving away from the already remote Yuecheng.
They did the opposite and started trading in orcs.
A steady supply of food is shipped out from these countries.
After other countries made symbolic efforts to stop it, they turned a blind eye and continued to develop their own strength.
The orcs' brain capacity is not high anymore.
He also knew that relying on the number of orcs in the advance troops, he would not necessarily lose if he went to war with the whole world, but he would definitely suffer heavy losses.
So they tacitly allowed this kind of transaction to exist.
Even their superiors, the Griffin Orcs, would supervise their soldiers and make sure they abide by the rules of the transaction.
When a powerful enemy attacked, his teammates did not help but surrendered immediately and offered equipment to the opponent.
Regarding this provocative behavior of a traitor, Lin Bo's choice is -
Turn them into strategic points for Moon City and the orcs to fight over.
The orcs need logistical supplies, right? They specifically choose logistical supplies as their battlefield and will never let them trade smoothly!
After all the back and forth, the amount of food lost in the war was often more than three times what was lost after the orc trade.
These traitorous countries were so distressed that they moved their granaries out in shame.
He dared not appear in Lin Bo's sight again.
The price of food has been rising month by month with the loss in each transaction, which has been very annoying for the orcs.
Lin Bo counted on his fingers.
If you think about it, they haven't caused any trouble to these traitorous countries for a month and three days.
Now is the perfect time to collect all the interest at once!
And made a bunch of plans to delay and confuse the orcs.
Lin Bo lay down on the office chair.
He closed his eyes, his face full of fatigue.
"This is all I can do. You must succeed..."
"The Moon City God of War, the Great General of Divine Power."
…
Another year passed in the dreamland.
Mai Xuan walked quickly on the sidewalk.
It happened to be the same path he took a year ago when he was lost and wanted to relax.
But compared to what he was then, his state of mind has changed a lot.
The low aura that lingered around him was gone.
The appearance of the city has also changed.
Although there are still broken walls and ruins everywhere.
But inside the remaining buildings, there are traces of artificial filling.
There are also some daily necessities that are only prepared when there are people living here.
While it looks dilapidated, there is also a vague sense of prosperity.
Mai Xuan didn't stop and went straight to the city gate.
The scenery outside the city gate has also changed greatly.
The raging flood receded, revealing fertile land that had been soaked for more than a year.
The newly planted short-season vegetables above have sprouted, and they are tender and green.
Mai Xuan looked at the fields with nostalgia.
He just felt that this scenery was more beautiful than any he had seen before.
When the people of Xingcheng who were busy working in the fields saw Mai Xuan, they all stopped what they were doing.
"prophet!"
"The Prophet has gone to the front again."
"Come back soon, Prophet! The cabbages in the field are almost ripe! Look, they're so crisp!"
There was hope on everyone's face.
Two years can really change a lot of things.
It is enough to make the people of Star City accept the status quo.
Although the battle on the front line is still difficult and stalemate.
News of deaths came back from every battle.
But everyone has learned to face it calmly and find new hope in the extremely difficult life.
Actually, hope is not wrong.
How come the current situation doesn’t seem more hopeful than it was a year ago?
They reclaimed the farmland outside the city, began to move out of the underground base, and rebuilt Star City...
Mai Xuan smiled and nodded in response to everyone.
"Oh, um, the cabbage is growing so fast? I have to hurry to the front line and tell our soldiers this good news."
Soon, he also left the farmland area.
The mud under my feet is getting deeper.
Even the path Mai Xuan walked on was trampled on several times every day.
Still couldn't step on the mud that brought the disastrous flood.
It was extremely difficult to move forward.
Mai Xuan didn't want to waste his spiritual energy in such a place, so he was forced to slow down.
While calculating the time it would take him to reach the first line of defense, he was also wondering whether he should continue to send people out to explore the new land.
Not to mention finding more farmland suitable for farming, it would also be helpful to speed up the support from the rear.
Wait for Mai Xuan to break free from the mud.
The frontline fortress has also arrived...
