Chapter 401
This technology will not monopolize for a long time, but it is still OK to make a profit in a short period of time.
Moreover, as a core product involving life, it may open up the trade route of the Southern Kingdom in a short period of time.
Rand's desire for papermaking has grown increasingly.
Rand narrowed his eyes.
Step out of the cabin.
Some Rand's personal guards were already a little weak.
Not everyone is adapted to life on the boat.
A shaking ship will make many land creatures who have never been on board feel dizzy.
For professions with stronger perception, the impact may be greater.
The senior executives of the den, including Rand, were less affected, so they were lucky.
It may also be because the storm is not very big now.
A magical pigeon appears in the sight of the Crow Cola.
The Crow Coke is now stationed at the highest point of the mast.
It's also a lookout bird.
The magic pigeon seems to be a little afraid of the Crow Coke.
It was not until Rand waved to the carrier pigeon that the magic carrier pigeon circled and landed in front of Rand.
A letter.
Rand opens.
After careful reading, Rand's expression changed.
Feed the magic pigeon, and then Rand frowned into the cabin.
"The Duke of the Moon was attacked." Rand said in a deep voice.
The senior executives of the den, who were originally doing their own things, picked up their weapons and sat upright.
"What force?" Lesha was the first to speak out in a rare sight.
Of course, I considered it before leaving.
Nearby forces are unlikely to attack the Duke of the Moon.
Marcus takes charge of the overall situation in the Frost Moon Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Rence and the Kingdom of Poron both face the threat of the city of the undead.
The City of the Undead must break through the defenses of the Kingdom of Poren and the Kingdom of Renza in order to fully invade the Duke of the Moon.
"The undead," said Rand. "There are many high-level undead who suddenly appear in the Duke of Moon. According to Bishop Kahn's judgment, Archbishop of the Natural Disaster should have come to our territory in person."
The high-level combat power of the City of the Undead should not be much, so you have to face the risk of being encircled.
Or is it that the City of the Undead is enough to be sure. No matter how empty their base camp is, will Renza and Poron not buy at the bottom?
"How long will it take to arrive at Qianyue Port?" Ellie asked.
"Five days." Rand looked at the navigation in the cabin. They had been sailing on the sea for a long time and were not far from the territory. If they advanced at full speed, they would be able to reach Xinyue Port within five days.
"That won't be a big problem." Ellie looked at Olena.
"The defense of the den is quite complete. Before we set out for Baizhi Kingdom, Lord Tan made a military report. With the development of the population and economy of the den, our military strength is now far beyond the ordinary earl, although the size is less than that of the ordinary. The level of the Duke, but our morale is strong and the village has a certain amount of armed forces.”
And Tan, also qualified, reliable, trustworthy generals.
It’s just that the personal guards are now with Rand, and they lack this important combat power, and the overall strength of the den is lacking.
But how many troops can the undead bring to cross the defense line to attack Rand's territory?
Overall, it was just caught off guard.
As long as you don’t collapse in the early stage, you will be snowballed by the undead and too many undead will appear, nothing will happen.
Of course, the specific situation is not known by the senior executives of the den and Rand.
...
At this time, the crescent moon leads the defense line.
Archbishop of the Natural Disaster's eyes were faint.
Bypassing the main defense line and attacking the rear is not completely impossible for the undead forces.
Because the army of the undead is different from that of humans.
After a few powerful bishops of the Scourge, they brought the altar of the Scourge Apostle and a large number of Scourge Orbs into the hinterland, they could summon the undead on a large scale as long as they found a place with many corpses.
However, the undead summoned in this way are often inferior. Without the obsidian tower, they cannot survive for a long time and are easily encircled and annihilated by humans.
Moreover, it is not easy for the Bishop of the Natural Scourge to smuggle the enemy's rear. If it is discovered, the Bishop of the Natural Scourge who does not have the army of undead will be very fragile.
Human masters or knights can easily annihilate these natural disaster bishops.
And every Bishop of the Heavenly Scourge is very important and precious to the Heavenly Scourge Corps.
But this time, the Natural Scourge Clan took a risk of launching a surprise attack without hesitation.
"How are you prepared?" asked the Archbishop of the Natural Disaster.
"It's about to be completed." The bishop of the Scourge reported.
"Let's start an attack when you're ready." Archbishop of the Natural Disaster ordered.
This time was considered a military adventure, but the Archbishop of the Natural Scourge believed it was necessary.
The reason is simple.
If the Duke of the Moon could be defeated as a stronghold, and then steadily advance, it would be possible to destroy the defense of the Kingdom of Poron.
Of course, the premise that this can be achieved is that the reaction of the Frost Moon Kingdom is not too intense.
But even if it doesn't work, as long as it can destroy the Moon Duke's Corps, it will be considered to have achieved a very important strategic goal.
Rand, the Duke of Moon, was very hostile to the undead. He was actually willing to put aside his prejudice with the Kingdom of Poren and the Kingdom of Rence and joined forces to attack the Obsidian Tower on the defense line of the Kingdom of Poren.
If it weren't for Rand, the obsidian tower there might have been built. Then, it would have been steadily built, and the Kingdom of Poron would be defeated step by step.
Instead of the current situation.
Rand is a lord who is willing to let go of many things in order to destroy the undead.
This person is also the king's hand of the Frost Moon Kingdom.
Maybe more anti-undead strategies will be carried out in the future.
After discussion with the Bishops of the Scourge, the Archbishop of the Scourge has concluded that if Rand cannot be destroyed as soon as possible, any plan to be made in the future may be flew over by Rand, a disgusting fly.
The risk is now very low, and the undead army has summoned a lot. Even if you are defeated, you can retreat calmly without much loss.
But the Duke of the Moon is not like this. Even if the Duke of the Moon is defending against the attack of the undead, as long as it cannot kill the Bishop of the Natural Scourge, it will inevitably suffer losses.
After all, it is always not that cost-effective to fight a living person with a dead person.
Archbishop of the Scourge looked ahead.
There is a high wall ahead.
There is a flag of the Nicholas family dancing in the wind.
The territory of Rand, the Duke of Moon, is really strange.
There is actually a line of defense inside the territory. If you want to attack the hinterland, you still need to break through the defense line of the Crescent Territory.
The New Moon Leader's Defense Line was originally built when he fought with the Snow Fox Earl, but now it is blocking the undead.
On the walls of the defense line, Tan and Taran, and Bishop Kahn, were watching the army of undead in the distance.
Karin is not here.
When the undead appeared in the territory before.
Everyone thinks it is just a normal phenomenon of resurrection of the undead.
It is very possible that the remnants of the power of death can revive the dead.
The vibration transmission devices from many places in the Duke of the Moon have been heard.
So Karin decisively took people to various places to clean up defense.
So it will take a few days to come back now.
The undead was really caught off guard and the opportunity was very good.
Rand was not there, and the guards were not there, and the surrounding allies were unable to support them for a short period of time.
Fortunately, Taner's reaction was very fast, and the den power's own troops were dispatched in time.
"It's enough to hold on for a few days," Bishop Kahn said to Taran and Tan. "We have secret weapons and we can arrive in a few days."
Now the number of undeads in the Duke of Moon is not too outrageous, and Karin also has the ability to control the situation.
Although the firepower is about to be exposed, compared to the consequences of the destruction of the Moon Duke's deity by the undead, Karin's identity is still acceptable.
Now the Torch Church's Newborn Sect and the Mother God Sect have cooperated deeply.
The Torch Church's Newborn Sect absolutely cannot accept the destruction of the Moon Duke.
However, it must be defended now, otherwise if the undead are rampant in the territory and convert the population into undead soldiers, Karin, who is now unable to last, will be powerless.
Taner thanked Bishop Kahn for his firm support.
Then he said to Taran, “How did you gather so many people?”
Bishop Kahn is responsible for summoning the power of the Torch Church.
Taran was responsible for summoning nearby civil forces.
Then in the current line of defense, a large number of adventurers, militias, hunters, and robbers appeared.
The reason why there is no more is not because I don’t accept the call, but because it’s too far away to come.
The soldiers of the den power do not account for a large proportion of the total population.
The main reason is that the main goal of the den is to develop rapidly. If you raise too many troops, it will slow down the development speed.
But now Taner sees the potential for war in the den.
"Everyone is ready to fight for Lord Rand at any time," Taran said.
"What do you mean?" Tan looked at Taran with serious eyes, "War is not a joke, it will die."
Now their enemies are not simple enemies, but undead troops.
Opposite is the stinky mountain of meat, the death knight with faint eyes, the ethereal ghost and the banshee.
And, the legendary terrifying Archbishop of the Natural Disaster seems to have come here too.
Tanlt specially asked these civilians to go to the defense line to see the enemies they were about to face.
However, after the civilian armed forces who were recruited saw the enemy, no one planned to retreat.
"If we don't fight for Lord Rand, who can we fight for?" Taran pointed to the soldiers who were voluntarily registered behind the defense line.
"I used to be a robber," Taran said.
"I'm very good at plundering food and supplies from the villagers." Taran was a little nagging.
"The so-called villagers are the most stingy, cunning, incompetent, loyal, and lying the most. They want to do not give cloth, and say no to wheat. In fact, they have everything. Open the floor and look at it. If they are not underground, they are in the storage room. , you will definitely find a lot of things."
"As for why I became a robber, it is naturally because I couldn't be a villager at that time. When I was young, the lord was a shrewd person, and his tax officer was extremely smart. He could accurately calculate every villager. The food in your hands will be taken away by the vast majority.”
"At that time, I knew that if I continued to be a villager, I would definitely be worse than death." Taran said, "But later I got older and had children, and I had to be a villager again, becoming cunning, once again, Second and tax collectors, the lord's knight, fight wits and courage."
"The lord never cares about the life or death of the villagers. They always care only whether they can get food from the villagers." Taran explained, "Later, the lord of the Crescent Corps died at the hands of the undead, and my robbers were in the New Year, The villages established by the Yueling Territory have to always face robbery and extortion from the lords of other territories and malicious price raising by the caravans passing by."
"Until the end," Taran grinned, revealing some jagged teeth, "Great Lord Rand, become the master of this land."
“After that, Lord Rand brought farming techniques, brought the protection of the mother god, and collected not only much less taxes than those greedy lords, but also a large part of the taxes collected To use it for the development of the territory, that is, to make us live better.”
"Since then, fewer people were sick, almost no one was frozen to death, and fewer people starved to death. Lord Tan, before I met Lord Rand, I never knew that bread could be without alcohol. Yes, I don’t know that pork can be tasteless.”
