Chapter 770 The Big Pit in the Bitter Cold Land

At the same time, Mirror City...

Luo Ji was in a pretty good mood today.

Just now, the troops responsible for the construction of Qingshui City just sent a report.

In other words, the construction of Qingshui City is completely completed.

This freed up a lot of manpower under Luo Ji.

Now he is within the civilization of all realms.

There are quite a few places where extra manpower is needed.

For example, the construction of mountain cities in the mountains and forests of the North.

Another example is the construction of the military academy.

At the same time, looking further away, the cities in the south also had to be built one by one.

After all, there is an iron mine and a magic crystal mine over there at the wood elf city, so they can't be left alone there.

The sooner he expands his territory and connects the territories together, the sooner he can feel at ease.

All in all, manpower is needed in several areas.

Just when Luo Ji was thinking about where to transfer these free manpower.

Outside the political hall, Zhou Cang walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty, a report has been urgently sent from the bitter cold land."

When Luo Ji heard this, his brows immediately furrowed.

In situations like this, most of the time nothing good will happen.

At this time, he was already mentally prepared.

After receiving the report and tearing off the seal, Luo Ji quickly unfolded the letter inside.

In recent months, it can be said that everything that has happened in the bitter cold land has been written on it.

I learned that the frontline fortress has been attacked by wild boars one after another recently.

At the same time, after the news of obvious casualties in the garrison, Luo Ji's brows wrinkled unconsciously.

It's really a big trouble over there in the bitter cold land.

However, in order to obtain enough ore resources, he could not withdraw the troops stationed in the frontline fortress.

And due to the harsh natural environment, it is not easy to enter.

It's really worrying.

With no other choice, we can only continue to send more troops there.

At the same time, Luo Ji was still thinking about whether to send a team of elf priests to the frontline camp.

If there is an elf priest's healing skill that can provide first aid.

After a battle, as long as the rescue is timely, the loss of troops should be clearly reduced.

The only problem now is that the number of elf sacrifices is scarce.

He previously transferred many elven priests to the Western Expedition Army.

If we transfer it further.

What if there is a battle in the Central Plains?

I'm afraid he himself doesn't have any elf sacrifices to use.

This question made Luo Ji feel entangled for a while.

The growth rate of the elves is absolutely heart-wrenching.

When the human race has a certain population base, if they are given ten years, the population will double in minutes, or even several times.

But for the elves, the growth rate of the next generation is really too slow.

As a result, the total population of the elves has been unable to be raised.

And once the total population cannot be raised.

It will be difficult to increase the number of special elven occupations such as 'Elf Mage' and 'Elf Priest'.

In other words, for Luo Ji, within a few hundred years, the elves' military strength would be one less than one.

You have to be careful.

After holding his forehead and struggling for a long time, Luo Ji finally made up his mind and decided to send a team of elves to offer sacrifices.

The resources in the bitter cold land are still important after all.

But he had no time to care about that side at the moment.

If this force continues to be depleted.

Even if his civilization of all realms has a big family and a big business, he can't bear such trouble.

Pulling out a piece of white paper, Luo Ji picked up the quill and began to write his warrant.

A team of elves were recruited for sacrifice, and some more garrison troops had to be deployed.

Luo Ji thought about it and quickly finished writing the warrant.

Wait until the ink is dry, then stamp your own jade seal on it.

This is considered done.

"Wang Kai, take this order and mobilize the troops. After they are assembled, they will set off as quickly as possible to the frontline fortress."

While speaking, Luo Ji handed the warrant to him without raising his head.

A few seconds passed after that.

Luo Ji was stunned when he realized that no one had picked up his hand yet.

Turning back subconsciously.

As a result, Wang Kai's sleepy face came into his eyes...

"Wang Kai? Wang Kai?"

Luo Ji frowned slightly and called him twice.

According to his character, he wouldn't be angry because of this matter.

At most, I feel a little strange.

Wang Kai has been following him for many years. In his impression, Wang Kai has always been very diligent and serious in his work.

During my time on duty, nothing like this had ever happened.

He must have heard Luo Ji's voice.

Wang Kai, who suddenly felt a little more awake, looked at Luo Ji, whose brows were slightly furrowed, and was slightly startled.

Then when he realized what happened, he immediately knelt down to apologize...

"Your Majesty, forgive me! Humble duty, humble duty..."

"alright."

Looking at Wang Kai's listless appearance, and thinking about it carefully, Wang Kai's energy seems not to be particularly good in the past few days.

"I don't mean to blame you, but you haven't had any rest in the past few days, okay? You seem to be in poor spirits."

"Your Majesty, please punish me!"

Wang Kai obviously had no intention of defending himself, but simply lowered his head in shame.

In this regard, Luo Ji would naturally not punish his loyal guard who had followed him for so many years just because of such a trivial matter.

Seeing Wang Kai's appearance, Luo Ji sighed.

Then he straightened up his expression and said seriously...

"Then, I'll punish you by going back to sleep quickly, and then come back and resume your duties after you've had enough sleep."

"His Majesty……"

"Okay, don't wait any longer. I'll leave the matter to the other guards. Go back to bed quickly."

Looking at Luo Ji's 'impatient' look.

Wang Kai felt moved and ashamed at the same time.

In the end, I could only give up and retreat.

"I resign from my humble position."

After watching Wang Kai retreat and rest.
