Chapter 161: Seven Demons (Part 2)

Along the way, Leyana told him about what happened in the mine in the past few months. In every battle, the seven girls had to formulate a completed combat plan. Each of them had at least three conspiracies and tricks in the dark - a clever plan. In short, it was the kind of strategy that made Ge Zheng feel creepy when he heard it. No wonder these rebellious bandits would stay here to "serve sentences". It seems that once a woman becomes vicious, the "darkness in her heart" is definitely much more terrifying than a man. Ge Zheng and Solgevellen couldn't help but look at each other, and both saw the same frightened expression in each other's eyes. As the saying goes, they were both thinking not to offend women...

However, the benefits of Leyana's doing this are obvious. The bandits without returning to the mudflats were "missed" near the mines, and there were no airtight walls. After a long time, everyone knows what happened. Those who are not so greedy and wait-and-see, the guys who didn't take the initiative for various reasons secretly thanked: Fortunately, they were calm, otherwise they would be the girl in the mining area now...

There were more and more workers in the mining area, and those servants were not enough. Later, Leyana and the others simply took the initiative to attack. Any bandit group that appeared within fifty miles around the mining area was captured and "discarded as slaves". The flying saddle was extremely fast, and it arrived in a short time in fifty miles. Poor bandits, who were behind the flying saddles, were like snails crawling on oiled stone slabs. How could they escape the "Seven Demons"'s poisonous hands?

That's right, because of Leyana's strategy of "it would rather kill by mistake than let go", the seven girls won such a majestic, fierce and famous nickname that can stop children from crying at night.

According to Leyana, they had an eye on their backs to remind everyone that no matter what you do, God is watching you.

But when you get to the bandits, the meaning of these seven eyes becomes: No matter where you are, don't forget that I am staring at you behind you. The bandits are suffering like a ray of light. Now, the Wuhui mine has become a forbidden area for bandits. Within a radius of one hundred miles, if a bandit is found, it must be a bad luck.

With these "maids", senior miners were more motivated to work, and the efficiency of the mine was greatly improved. Ge Zheng took away five tons of mud and iron ore.

...

The war in the western part of the empire was basically over, and the lords who were still alive rushed back to their territory to receive it. Of course, the army of other lords who helped them regain these territories would not withdraw obediently. Thousands and tens of thousands of people were dependent on the city to eat, drink, defecate and slaughter, without spending a penny, and they often caused trouble. The lords had no choice but to send gold coins and ask them to leave quickly.

This situation is completely the opposite in Rollinger City.

Ge Zheng's ghost cavalry regiment was famous. Five hundred ghost knights arrived at the city and immediately took a sword. The troops who recovered Rollinger City on the top of the city saw the Tai Chi badge flag fluttering in the wind, and stomped their feet and cursed: "Fuck it's bad luck!" The general gritted his teeth: "Mom's retreat!"

No one dared to stroke the tiger beards of the Ghost Cavalry Regiment, and Rollinger City successfully returned to Norodun's hands. Ge Zheng's credit was also famous for robbing the credit. In addition, the malicious propaganda of some people did not cause any losses to Ge Zheng, but instead helped him a lot at these moments.

Norodun's return was warmly welcomed by his people, so naturally no need to mention these things.

The battle situation on the northern front was not optimistic. The Summer Empire saw Dandela's past and was prepared for Cronise's tactics. The Yato Empire also understood the truth that he had lost his lips and had a cold teeth. He immediately terminated the alliance negotiations with the Aosta Empire and secretly supported the Summer Empire.

The Altos claimed to be the best alchemist on the mainland. Even though their flag character, Master Thomas Lieber, was slapped a few times in the recent student exchange competition, Alto's domestic alchemy remains profound. They quickly developed a new potion. After mixing sand and soil, it solidified into a kind of nodule, just like the concrete on the earth, its hardness is twice as high as the tuberculosis made from similar potions. It is used to build fortifications and can barely withstand the bombardment of Croniser's new magic cannon.

The advantage of the new magic cannon was offset - losing this weapon, although Croniser's army broke into Summer's border, it made a slow progress and formed a tug-of-war with Summer.

Cronize was indeed an excellent military strategist. He could quickly see the situation on the battlefield. Since it was impossible to fight quickly, he simply built bunker fortifications on the front line. The 300,000 Northern Expedition Army left 200,000 to garrison on the border line, and returned to the 100,000 troops to consolidate the territory of Dandela that he had just obtained.

Only by completely annexing Dandera can you have the capital to fight a protracted war with Summer.

Cronise stationed 200,000 troops on the western border of Summer; the Duchy of Rosen would harass it from time to time on its southern border. Although the Summer Empire had Yato's behind the scenes, it could only defend its homeland and was unable to fight back.

The situation in the north was in a delicate balance: the Alto Empire was unwilling to send troops directly, and their silent support behind the scenes could only ensure that the Summer Empire had enough strength to resist Cronize's attack. However, Summer wanted to deal with the unprecedentedly vast territory of the Aosta Empire, and was unable to swallow the elephant.

The balanced situation in the north was passed back to the Delson royal city, and the nobles of the empire began to clamor and demanded that the emperor fulfill their promises. The lords led their troops to fight to the death in the western part of the empire, for the benefit of that little bit of interest? Cronize looked at the territory of Dandra, and could be handed over to the generals under his command with confidence, and he took the Royal Guard Captain Rogers back to the royal city.

On this day, a group of emperor envoys walked into Akhama City happily with the melodious sound of bagpipes. Ge Zheng received the delegation in the municipal hall of Mares. The shabby municipal hall made Ge Zheng feel embarrassed. For the first time, he had the idea of ​​building a decent city lord's mansion.

The head of the mission was Ge Zheng's old acquaintance. The 12th-level war general Rogersgei smiled and took out a magical document from a golden box engraved with the badge of Emperor Croniser. He respectfully held it up and handed it to Ge Zheng: "Master, this is your Majesty's reward to you."

When the magical document is opened, there is a cliché on it. When the lord is enfeoffed, the previous paragraph will be said, which is nothing more than reflecting the emperor's concern for his subordinates, and in addition, he encourages his subordinates to be loyal to himself. It can be summed up in two sentences: You do a good job and have fun with me, and there will be benefits in the future.

The lower half is a map of the new territory. Ge Zheng looked at it and was shocked. The area of ​​his territory expanded southward to the bank of the Lanyin River, which was 160 miles within his territory. At the same time, his territory isolated Lu'ao City, the mouth of the Lanyin River. If he wanted to reach Lu'ao City, he had to pass through his territory.

To the north, his territory was already bordering the Ato Empire!

Ge Zheng looked at Rogers suspiciously: "According to the agreement between my Majesty and I, it seems that there is not such a large area." Rogers smiled slightly, pointed to Lu Aocheng and said, "Your Majesty said that as long as you are loyal to him, Lu Aocheng will be yours sooner or later." Ge Zheng shook his head and said, "I am not talking about this, I am talking about the north."

According to the current situation, it will be a matter of time before the empire and Ato's evil affair. The relationship between the two countries is gradually getting colder and it will be necessary sooner or later. Once the territory borders the Ato Empire, Ge Zheng's territory may become an imperial military bridgehead like the Duchy of Derong and Rosen. This is not what Ge Zheng is willing to see.

By the time Ge Zheng helped Cronise destroy the Alto Empire and unify the mainland, there were no tidal flats in the northern part of the mainland, and the east coast was an excellent harbor. The estuary of Lu'ao City was optional for Cronise, and giving Ge Zheng was nothing.

Rogers said: "Your Majesty said you won't force you. Have you seen the red dotted line? If you are not satisfied with the current territory, you will reward you according to the red dotted line." Ge Zheng saw that the red dotted line was obviously in the inner circle, and the back was not bordered by Yato, but it was far from the Blue Inn River in the south, but it expanded a lot to the west, annexing the territory of the poor third-class Marquis of Pabloa. The area of ​​the entire territory was commensurate with his military achievements in the western part of the empire - the result strictly calculated according to the principle of "two for one".

Ge Zheng's purpose was to expand his territory to the bank of the Lanyin River. If he followed the red line area, this trip to the Western Regions would be considered to "contribute" to the empire.
