Legend has it that in the distant prosperity era, the land shining with sunset was once the most fertile place on this continent.
This place was once lush with branches and leaves, forests were covered with hills, farmlands were endless, and metal slaves worked endlessly in the fields. People did not need to work, but they were greedy for the glitz of the prosperous times all day long. Everything was born and inexhaustible.
The only agricultural zoning in Luoxia Province is enough to feed 90% of the population on this planet.
To this day, even though the glory of the past has been covered with dust, the afterglow of the sunset still shines here, warming the remaining people in the ruins.
This is still one of the happiest places on this wasteland.
As long as you don’t step into the desert, you don’t have to worry about the mutated creatures. Every inch of the cultivated land here is protected by the army of the kingdom and the river bank.
Rich and sufficient food allows the people of the Spirit of the Sand Sea to avoid worrying about hunger.
Although feudal here, it is united enough. It is not like the eastern provinces. A group of plunderers can set off a bloody storm at will. Children who have just left their infants must not only learn to walk but also learn to shoot to survive.
It turns out that in the difficult years after the end of the world, it is better for everyone to believe something together than to believe nothing.
but
In the eyes of William Falcon, the prince and marshal of the Falcon Kingdom, this is far from enough.
Although the kingdoms are united by faith, there is no trust between countries.
The spirit of the sea of sand once taught the kings that brothers and sisters should unite and lend a helping hand to each other when they are in trouble. However, in fact, the kings are suspicious of each other and are always alert to the other party's use of their blood to usurp their titles, enjoy the power granted by faith, and hate their own obligations.
It would be fine if the Spirit of the Sea of Sand gives its grace equally to every kingdom of this desert.
But it did not do this, and even the disasters that were brought down were not equal.
The first thing that disappeared was Oasis No. 1, and the yellow sand swallowed everything there.
Next is Oasis No. 2, the fertile soil of the Falcon Kingdom is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and more than 20% of its territory has been lost in just half a century.
The selfish kings refused to provide help to the Falcon Royal Family. The gods did not respond to the Falcon Royal Family's prayers. Instead, they continued to bring disasters. They could only seek help from external forces... even the demons in the west.
However, it is precisely thanks to the selfishness and cowardice of the kings that the war progressed unprecedentedly.
Faced with the lightning offensive of the Falcon Kingdom, the kings who were suspicious of each other were powerless to resist and had not yet formed effective resistance.
After solving the most powerful lion in the country, he would immediately rush north to take down the Golden Lizard Kingdom. At this point, except for falcons, the entire Luoxia Province is only the southernmost Camel Kingdom.
They were unable to change the situation and had no other choice except to surrender.
And at that time, this land protected by the sunset will be united like never before.
Since he was very young, William had this dream in his heart. He dreamed that one day he could unify the desert and then rely on his strong dominance to restore the old glory.
It sounds a bit incredible to turn the desert into an oasis, but he believes there is always a way.
Even if it can't be done now, someone will definitely be able to do it in the future.
After all, the Spirit of the Sea of Sand once said that this place was originally a world covered with yellow sand.
As for the second half of the common saying of believers, the world will eventually be engulfed by yellow sand and return to the embrace of the spirit of the sea of sand.
That is just an interpretation of the self-deprecating person.
In contrast, he prefers to interpret the teachings of the Spirit of the Sand Sea as that one day we will finally return to that best era. Oasis is a gift given to the gods, rather than the gods give to people.
Since it is something artificial.
There must be a way to recreate it.
And what he has to do now is to use his thunderous wrist to destroy the rotten kings!
Become the master of this desert!
...Operation Thunder has been cancelled. This is General Griffin's order, and he asked me to convey it to you.
In the tent.
William, who was staring at the strategic map, heard bad news from the legion officer who walked into the tent.
He opened his eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his voice and said.
I need a reason.
Five teams of 10,000 people, more than 70,000 soldiers from the kingdom have completed the assembly on three sides of the capital of fertility.
It is the granary of Oasis No. 9 and a strategic center in the central part of the Lion Kingdom.
A giant dam called the river embankment surrounds a circular area with a radius of about ten kilometers.
This towering dam is completely cast from alloy and pours over thousands of square kilometers of fertile soil inside and outside the river bank.
No one knows how it works, only knows that there is endless fresh water inside and can restore contaminated water to purify.
Under the protection of the Spirit of the Sand Sea, ordinary weapons cannot hurt it at all.
Therefore, the Lion Kingdom deployed a large number of weapons on the circular river bank and sent heavy troops to guard it, turning it into an unbreakable fortress, echoing the capital hundreds of kilometers away, forming a horn-like momentum.
However, in contrast, as long as we can take this place, the army of the Falcon Kingdom will be able to drive eastward until the capital of the Lion Kingdom, and there will be no danger along the way!
The Thunder plan was formulated to win this important town.
For this purpose, they have prepared a full month, including dispatching troops and planning offensive plans.
However……
General Griffin, who made this plan, actually canceled it in one sentence?
What a joke!
But soon, the officer's next words made William's mood sink to the bottom.
Camp No. 530 was attacked, and tanks, rifles, bullets, shells that were originally sent to the front line... These supplies are now in the hands of the guerrillas, enough for them to arm a team of 10,000 people and persist for two months when they leave the supply line.
Our planes were searching for their trails, but they were crafty and hid in the hills northeast of Oasis 9.
The desert is not all endless plains. In addition to the sand dunes, there are also desertified hills and valleys in the central area of the river valley province.
Camp No. 530?!How could it be...are not your elites stationed there?!William asked anxiously.
The officer nodded and said very simply.
Yes, but even the elite team is only one thousand-man team.At present, it should be people from the enterprise who launched a surprise attack on our camp and even used electromagnetic pulse weapons.
enterprise……
William frowned.
Although he was eager to take over the capital of fertility, it did not mean he was reckless.
In fact, it is precisely through careful decision-making that he can maintain his winning streak and win the entire Honey Badger Kingdom within one week.
If the combat plan has been leaked and there are suspected corporate troops and guerrillas equipped with legion weapons on the north side of Oasis No. 9, it is indeed not a good idea to launch a full-scale offensive in a hasty manner.
...I remember there was a tribe of raiders called the Bear Clan there?Is there a way to buy them?
The officer shook his head.
We tried it, but those people were already scared by the alliance, and the remaining few people were just hidden in the mountains and became bandits... I even doubt whether they still have combat power.
After Diron died in battle, the centurions under his command had completely become deserters. Although some people were still willing to return to the legion, that little person could not change anything at all.
William's face was written with a hint of solemnity, and he pondered for a moment.
It is best to quickly decide this war. If it is delayed for too long, there may be variables.
Of course, Lord Griffin thought so too.
Reading the expression on the prince's face, the officer smiled faintly.
...So, we quickly prepared a second offensive plan.Unlike Operation Thunder, we intend to use some unconventional means this time.
William frowned, and a trace of unusual meaning was vaguely read from the officer's tone.
Unconventional means?
The officer did not say anything, and handed him a note and joked in a teasing tone.
After watching it, it burns it. This time we can't leak the secrets again.
William glanced at him suspiciously, took the note and unfolded it.
When William saw the text above, he was stunned at first, and then his face changed.
He looked at the officer, staring at the indifferent pupils.
I object to this plan!We need a complete capital of abundant fertility, not a rotten ruin!
The officer shrugged expressionlessly.
To sacrifice a ‘farm’ in exchange for the entire oasis, it seems absolutely worth it in our opinion.If we delay for this for a month, develop new plans and redeploy our army, we may face several times the number of enemies now.
In addition, this is also the opinion of the commander of the Eastern Legion.
We do not want this war to go from a local conflict to a full-scale war between the legion and the enterprise, neither we nor them are ready.Before the company increases its leap here, crushing our enemy's defense and resistance will with thunder is the least expensive option.
Listening to the ruthless voice, William stared at him tightly.
You have no idea what that means, the miracle of destroying the spirit of the sand sea is a blasphemy against the gods!
However, the officer just smiled faintly.
Blasphemy?Do you still care about this?
Looking at the prince with a pale face, the officer continued in a slow tone.
It takes some time for the weapon to be delivered, so you can prepare it too.
As for that opposition.
He just pretended not to hear it.
After saying this, the officer turned around and left.
Standing next to William, a kingdom general swallowed and asked in a low voice.
Your Highness...What is the Legion planning to do?
William was silent for a long time and didn't say anything, and seemed to be struggling inside.
However, it was only a moment.
He is not an indecisive person. Those who accomplish great things should not be careful of the trivial matters. As long as they win in the end, Luoxia Province will usher in eternal peace.
No one can say he is wrong.
What's more, even if he felt it was inappropriate, he could not stop the Legion's decision.
Handing the note to the oil lamp on the table, William watched a trove of flames rushing from the note, swallowing it bit by bit, crushing it to ashes, and finally falling on the copper plate.
They plan to release the demons from 200 years ago and blasphemous favors... Haha, but what he said makes sense. We have all sold our souls to the demons for strength. Do you still need to care about this?
After throwing a faint self-deprecation, William left a general with a confused look on his face and walked out of the tent alone.
The expressionless face made people unable to see what he was thinking at the moment.
Nuclear bomb.
A cheap and easy-to-use device.
It is said that only with the press of the switch button, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people can be erased from the map and turned a fertile land into an insurable ruin.
The disaster of the gods takes half a century to do, and it only takes a moment to do it.
This is not a particularly clever technique.
But absolutely effective.
Get on the horse.
Come to the stable.
William patted the guards on the shoulders, then walked towards his tall horse, and turned over and rode on.
Not all people in the desert like camels.
The dark horse produced in the Great Desert is the favorite pet of the people of the Falcon Kingdom.
They are as powerful as mutants. They are dressed in heavy armor and can charge in the rain of bullets. They are born without fear of the sound of cannons and even more fear of death.
Where are we going?Your Highness.As he rode his horse to follow William, the bearded captain asked, grabbing the reins.
William narrowed and looked east.
Go to the front line!
The captain of the guard wrote hesitantly and said cautiously: It is too dangerous there. Prince Winter's army always fires at us from time to time. I don't recommend that you go to such a dangerous place.
William laughed, kicked the horse's ass and let it run.
Nothing dangerous!The turtles huddled in their shells had only a few good days left, and we were able to step over their bodies soon.
Before that beautiful castle turned into a twisted mass of steel.
He planned to ride his beloved war horse and take a look at it again.
……
At the same time, the rich capital of Oasis No. 9, inside and outside the towering circular river embankment were filled with tender yellow farmland.
The harvest season is coming.
I don’t know if the first one to harvest them would be the farmers’ sickles or tank’s tracks.
Above the river bank.
Prince Winter, holding the telescope in his hand, was looking into the west direction, and a hint of solemnity floated on his wrinkled face.
The fortress under his feet is not only the granary of the Lion Kingdom, but also the forefront of war.
The towering river bank is a natural fortress, and it is almost impossible to destroy by conventional weapons, completely cast from alloys.
The troops stationed here are the elite Scarabs and Ten Thousand People of the Kingdom!
In addition to two 10,000 teams composed of more than 220,000 recruited soldiers, the garrison here has exceeded 30,000, and tens of thousands of farmers are still under training.
Thousands of 97mm smoothbore cannons were pushed to the river bank, and in addition to nearly 100 230mm cast iron mortar cannons.
Don't underestimate these old antiques.
Although the range is limited, it can still perform strange results with the unbreakable cover.
As long as the number is sufficient, combined with shells filled with strong explosives, it can still pose a considerable threat to the offensive forces.
Not to mention that they also prepared a large number of gas tank rockets.
In addition to these old antiques, the Lion Kingdom also purchased a certain number of 100mm howitzers and handed over thirty of them to Prince Winter.
These modern light artillery can have a range of 20 kilometers, but they lack ammunition, which makes the deterrent significance more than the practical significance.
However, the defenders stationed here were not worried about the troops outside, and they were all motivated and solemn.
No matter how powerful the legion's tank is, it is impossible to climb over the alloy-cast river embankment.
The capital of fertility is sufficient, and they can stay here until the next century!
As long as the capital of fertility is still there, the capital is there, and the kingdom is there!
It will be like a tenacious nail in the direction of the Falcon Kingdom troops' advance, and anyone who tries to pull it out will be destined to be covered in blood.
Everyone was ready to live and die with this fortress.
…The Falcon Kingdom troops dug trenches within 5 kilometers of our range.
He handed the telescope in his hand to the adjutant beside him, and Prince Winter looked at the messenger beside him expressionlessly.
Let the First Artillery Squadron prepare and give our enemies a little color!
yes!The messenger stood attentively, saluted, and then trotted to the radio station not far away.
After the shelling coordinate report, more than ten loud noises soon came.
White smoke drew parabolic trajectories in the air, landed on the enemy's position, and balls of white smoke exploded.
The range of the 230mm cast iron mortar is similar to that of the light mortar, but its power is even better, and it will soon blow the people who dug the trenches upside down.
However, looking at the group of engineers with heavy casualties, Prince Winter frowned.
The adjutant beside him also noticed the abnormality, and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes, and he said gritting his teeth.
Sir... Those engineers who dug trenches seem to be us
It was the enemy, Winter had no expression on his face, interrupted him without hesitation, and continued to fire!
The adjutant nodded silently, picked up the telescope again, and looked at the position in the distance.
Hate and anger flashed in his eyes.
These shameless guys...
He actually used prisoners as cannon fodder!
This despicable means are not only a blasphemy of the ancient covenant, but also a betrayal of faith!
He swears.
He will definitely get it back from those people!
Turning around and leaving the front line, Prince Winter returned to the fortress on the elevator.
At this time, a messenger trotted over, stopped in front of him, and stood still and marched.
Report!The palace is sending it to speed up!
He took the letter from the messenger's hand, and Winter took it apart and took a look, his frown finally relaxed.
Seeing the change of expression on his face, the staff officer who followed him couldn't help but ask.
Is it good news?
The only good news in the past month is probably that their allies finally plan to send troops.
Although I heard that it is only half a thousand-man team...
Wen Te nodded and handed the letter in his hand to the staff officer beside him, his tone with a rare hint of ease and pleasure.
Our allies successfully destroyed the Legion's supply hub in the north. The Legion's "Thunder" plan was thwarted. Our north will probably be safe for some time and can concentrate on dealing with the group of bed bugs outside.
It has to be admitted that the alliance's intelligence network is terrible.
I just knew the code name of the entire operation. The alliance, which was thousands of miles away, had already strangled the entire huge and meticulous plan in the cradle.
All signs indicate that the alliance's penetration into the desert has reached an unignorable level.
But the Lion Kingdom had almost no understanding of them.
Thinking of this, Winter was afraid and couldn't help but make up his mind secretly.
If the Lions Kingdom can successfully survive this crisis, he will definitely convince His Majesty the King to increase his budget for intelligence work.
or……
This work is done by yourself.
50 Conqueror tanks...including self-propelled artillery and trucks, as well as supplies that are enough to arm a team of ten thousand people. Such an important military base is really a pity that they can fight!
The staff officer's expression was slightly moved.
Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Prince Winter eagerly and asked.
What equipment?
Prince Winter smiled faintly.
Eighty-mostly it was handed over to the Restoration Army led by Yade... Don't think about it, they won't give it to us.
A look of pity appeared on the staff officer's face.
That's equipment that can arm a team of ten thousand people...
It would have been great if we had sent troops there.
Who should I send?Prince Winter didn't feel that it was a pity. It was difficult for us to protect ourselves now, so we could not have any extra troops to send to the north.
Hearing this, the staff officer was silent for a while, sighed and said, "What you said makes sense... I hope there will be news from Andre as soon as possible."
I think it's so hard.Prince Winter replied casually, without any expectations for this.
If the Golden Lizard Kingdom really had the idea of sending troops, when the declaration of war was sent, it should have sent troops here, rather than sitting quietly on the border like now.
The faith of the Spirit of the Sand Sea has never been so weak on this land.Those oaths made in front of the spirit of the sea of sand are like water poured into the sand, and they cannot be counted at all.
perhaps……
Those things are really outdated.
No matter what form this war ends, they will enter an era of intrigue...
At this time, another messenger came running in the distance.
He had a quick letter in his hand, the second letter of the same day.
Why is there another letter?
The two letters were delivered at the same time, and Winter couldn't help but feel a little bad premonition in his heart.
He has seen the good news.
Logically speaking, the probability that the second letter is still good news is too low...
However, he couldn't avoid what was coming, so he finally took it apart.
There was only a short line of words in the letter, but his face turned pale.
A nuclear bomb with an equivalent amount of one million tons is passing through the great desert and sent to the Falcon Kingdom.
Million tons!
For a moment, he felt even his heartbeat disappear...
……
It has been a month and a half since that celebration of fireworks blooming.
In the past month and a half, the biggest change in the north of Shuguang City is probably the road to the north.
With the help of Ideal Group, this concrete road that costs 16.9 million Cr, is finally completed, with a total length of 169 kilometers, and goes directly from the northern suburbs of Qingquan City to Luoxia Province.
Before, it took one or two days to go from Qingquan City to Ruigu City, even if it was forced to march.
Now, there is a clear road access, and you can get there without even three hours.
As the administrator of the alliance, Chu Guang participated in the ribbon cutting ceremony of the highway.
Although there were trucks running on it before he cut the ribbon.
After all, this highway is used for emergency purposes. If you want to use it for a long time, you still have to pay attention to road maintenance.If the maintenance is done properly, it should be fine if it takes 10 years and 20 years.Looking at the straight concrete road in front of him, Li Changkong's face was full of pride and he said with a sense of accomplishment.
Chu Guang, who was standing next to him, also had a smile on his face, and he held his hand and shook it.
Thank you so much!
Li Changkong said with a smile.
You are kind!
Not far away.
The league's chief engineer, the sword, was still squatting beside the road, muttering at the concrete blocks on the ground.
How is it possible...
I happened to pass by, quit smoking and glanced at him, and saw that he was still squatting there thinking about this broken road, and couldn't help but say.
Damn... you haven't given up yet. By the way, what's the point?
To his surprise, the person who stayed under the knife actually nodded.
I saw this guy stretched out his index finger, touched the side of the road, and pinched it with his thumb and rub it.
This highway is not pure cement, and there is a fixed structure similar to steel rods inside... but it is not steel.
I was stunned for a moment when I quit smoking.
Then what are you using?
Carbon...it may also be some isomer of silicon carbide. The person under the knife clapped his hands, stood up from the ground, and said with a flashing look, I don’t know what it is, but its physical properties in all aspects such as tensile strength and yield strength are higher than those of steel.
Oh... I quit smoking and touched my chin, it was a bit interesting.
Seeing this perfunctory expression, the person who stayed under the knife couldn't help but speak.
Don't you find it strange?
Quit smoking and glanced at this guy in confusion.
What's strange about this?There is also a space elevator in the desert... Materials with higher tensile strength, isn't this thing a basic thing?
Leave someone under the knife: …
It makes sense.
He didn't know how to refute for a moment.
In the distance, the ribbon cutting ceremony ended.
Just as Chu Guang was thinking about where to repair something that was idle equipment, Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came from his ears.
Owner!Prince Kariman wants to see you and says there is something important to discuss with you. Do you want to meet you?
This place was once lush with branches and leaves, forests were covered with hills, farmlands were endless, and metal slaves worked endlessly in the fields. People did not need to work, but they were greedy for the glitz of the prosperous times all day long. Everything was born and inexhaustible.
The only agricultural zoning in Luoxia Province is enough to feed 90% of the population on this planet.
To this day, even though the glory of the past has been covered with dust, the afterglow of the sunset still shines here, warming the remaining people in the ruins.

Handing the note to the oil lamp on the table, William watched a trove of flames rushing from the note, swallowing it bit by bit, crushing it to ashes, and finally falling on the copper plate.
They plan to release the demons from 200 years ago and blasphemous favors... Haha, but what he said makes sense. We have all sold our souls to the demons for strength. Do you still need to care about this?
After throwing a faint self-deprecation, William left a general with a confused look on his face and walked out of the tent alone.
The expressionless face made people unable to see what he was thinking at the moment.
Nuclear bomb.
A cheap and easy-to-use device.
It is said that only with the press of the switch button, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people can be erased from the map and turned a fertile land into an insurable ruin.
The disaster of the gods takes half a century to do, and it only takes a moment to do it.
This is not a particularly clever technique.
But absolutely effective.
Get on the horse.
Come to the stable.
William patted the guards on the shoulders, then walked towards his tall horse, and turned over and rode on.
Not all people in the desert like camels.
The dark horse produced in the Great Desert is the favorite pet of the people of the Falcon Kingdom.
They are as powerful as mutants. They are dressed in heavy armor and can charge in the rain of bullets. They are born without fear of the sound of cannons and even more fear of death.
Where are we going?Your Highness.As he rode his horse to follow William, the bearded captain asked, grabbing the reins.
William narrowed and looked east.
Go to the front line!
The captain of the guard wrote hesitantly and said cautiously: It is too dangerous there. Prince Winter's army always fires at us from time to time. I don't recommend that you go to such a dangerous place.
William laughed, kicked the horse's ass and let it run.
Nothing dangerous!The turtles huddled in their shells had only a few good days left, and we were able to step over their bodies soon.
Before that beautiful castle turned into a twisted mass of steel.
He planned to ride his beloved war horse and take a look at it again.
……
At the same time, the rich capital of Oasis No. 9, inside and outside the towering circular river embankment were filled with tender yellow farmland.
The harvest season is coming.
I don’t know if the first one to harvest them would be the farmers’ sickles or tank’s tracks.
Above the river bank.
Prince Winter, holding the telescope in his hand, was looking into the west direction, and a hint of solemnity floated on his wrinkled face.
The fortress under his feet is not only the granary of the Lion Kingdom, but also the forefront of war.
The towering river bank is a natural fortress, and it is almost impossible to destroy by conventional weapons, completely cast from alloys.
The troops stationed here are the elite Scarabs and Ten Thousand People of the Kingdom!
In addition to two 10,000 teams composed of more than 220,000 recruited soldiers, the garrison here has exceeded 30,000, and tens of thousands of farmers are still under training.
Thousands of 97mm smoothbore cannons were pushed to the river bank, and in addition to nearly 100 230mm cast iron mortar cannons.
Don't underestimate these old antiques.
Although the range is limited, it can still perform strange results with the unbreakable cover.
As long as the number is sufficient, combined with shells filled with strong explosives, it can still pose a considerable threat to the offensive forces.
Not to mention that they also prepared a large number of gas tank rockets.
In addition to these old antiques, the Lion Kingdom also purchased a certain number of 100mm howitzers and handed over thirty of them to Prince Winter.
These modern light artillery can have a range of 20 kilometers, but they lack ammunition, which makes the deterrent significance more than the practical significance.
However, the defenders stationed here were not worried about the troops outside, and they were all motivated and solemn.
No matter how powerful the legion's tank is, it is impossible to climb over the alloy-cast river embankment.
The capital of fertility is sufficient, and they can stay here until the next century!
As long as the capital of fertility is still there, the capital is there, and the kingdom is there!
It will be like a tenacious nail in the direction of the Falcon Kingdom troops' advance, and anyone who tries to pull it out will be destined to be covered in blood.
Everyone was ready to live and die with this fortress.
…The Falcon Kingdom troops dug trenches within 5 kilometers of our range.
He handed the telescope in his hand to the adjutant beside him, and Prince Winter looked at the messenger beside him expressionlessly.
Let the First Artillery Squadron prepare and give our enemies a little color!
yes!The messenger stood attentively, saluted, and then trotted to the radio station not far away.
After the shelling coordinate report, more than ten loud noises soon came.
White smoke drew parabolic trajectories in the air, landed on the enemy's position, and balls of white smoke exploded.
The range of the 230mm cast iron mortar is similar to that of the light mortar, but its power is even better, and it will soon blow the people who dug the trenches upside down.
However, looking at the group of engineers with heavy casualties, Prince Winter frowned.
The adjutant beside him also noticed the abnormality, and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes, and he said gritting his teeth.
Sir... Those engineers who dug trenches seem to be us
It was the enemy, Winter had no expression on his face, interrupted him without hesitation, and continued to fire!
The adjutant nodded silently, picked up the telescope again, and looked at the position in the distance.
Hate and anger flashed in his eyes.
These shameless guys...
He actually used prisoners as cannon fodder!
This despicable means are not only a blasphemy of the ancient covenant, but also a betrayal of faith!
He swears.
He will definitely get it back from those people!
Turning around and leaving the front line, Prince Winter returned to the fortress on the elevator.
At this time, a messenger trotted over, stopped in front of him, and stood still and marched.
Report!The palace is sending it to speed up!
He took the letter from the messenger's hand, and Winter took it apart and took a look, his frown finally relaxed.
Seeing the change of expression on his face, the staff officer who followed him couldn't help but ask.
Is it good news?
The only good news in the past month is probably that their allies finally plan to send troops.
Although I heard that it is only half a thousand-man team...
Wen Te nodded and handed the letter in his hand to the staff officer beside him, his tone with a rare hint of ease and pleasure.
Our allies successfully destroyed the Legion's supply hub in the north. The Legion's "Thunder" plan was thwarted. Our north will probably be safe for some time and can concentrate on dealing with the group of bed bugs outside.
It has to be admitted that the alliance's intelligence network is terrible.
I just knew the code name of the entire operation. The alliance, which was thousands of miles away, had already strangled the entire huge and meticulous plan in the cradle.
All signs indicate that the alliance's penetration into the desert has reached an unignorable level.
But the Lion Kingdom had almost no understanding of them.
Thinking of this, Winter was afraid and couldn't help but make up his mind secretly.
If the Lions Kingdom can successfully survive this crisis, he will definitely convince His Majesty the King to increase his budget for intelligence work.
or……
This work is done by yourself.
50 Conqueror tanks...including self-propelled artillery and trucks, as well as supplies that are enough to arm a team of ten thousand people. Such an important military base is really a pity that they can fight!
The staff officer's expression was slightly moved.
Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Prince Winter eagerly and asked.
What equipment?
Prince Winter smiled faintly.
Eighty-mostly it was handed over to the Restoration Army led by Yade... Don't think about it, they won't give it to us.
A look of pity appeared on the staff officer's face.
That's equipment that can arm a team of ten thousand people...
It would have been great if we had sent troops there.
Who should I send?Prince Winter didn't feel that it was a pity. It was difficult for us to protect ourselves now, so we could not have any extra troops to send to the north.
Hearing this, the staff officer was silent for a while, sighed and said, "What you said makes sense... I hope there will be news from Andre as soon as possible."
I think it's so hard.Prince Winter replied casually, without any expectations for this.
If the Golden Lizard Kingdom really had the idea of sending troops, when the declaration of war was sent, it should have sent troops here, rather than sitting quietly on the border like now.
The faith of the Spirit of the Sand Sea has never been so weak on this land.Those oaths made in front of the spirit of the sea of sand are like water poured into the sand, and they cannot be counted at all.
perhaps……
Those things are really outdated.
No matter what form this war ends, they will enter an era of intrigue...
At this time, another messenger came running in the distance.
He had a quick letter in his hand, the second letter of the same day.
Why is there another letter?
The two letters were delivered at the same time, and Winter couldn't help but feel a little bad premonition in his heart.
He has seen the good news.
Logically speaking, the probability that the second letter is still good news is too low...
However, he couldn't avoid what was coming, so he finally took it apart.
There was only a short line of words in the letter, but his face turned pale.
A nuclear bomb with an equivalent amount of one million tons is passing through the great desert and sent to the Falcon Kingdom.
Million tons!
For a moment, he felt even his heartbeat disappear...
……
It has been a month and a half since that celebration of fireworks blooming.
In the past month and a half, the biggest change in the north of Shuguang City is probably the road to the north.
With the help of Ideal Group, this concrete road that costs 16.9 million Cr, is finally completed, with a total length of 169 kilometers, and goes directly from the northern suburbs of Qingquan City to Luoxia Province.
Before, it took one or two days to go from Qingquan City to Ruigu City, even if it was forced to march.
Now, there is a clear road access, and you can get there without even three hours.
As the administrator of the alliance, Chu Guang participated in the ribbon cutting ceremony of the highway.
Although there were trucks running on it before he cut the ribbon.
After all, this highway is used for emergency purposes. If you want to use it for a long time, you still have to pay attention to road maintenance.If the maintenance is done properly, it should be fine if it takes 10 years and 20 years.Looking at the straight concrete road in front of him, Li Changkong's face was full of pride and he said with a sense of accomplishment.
Chu Guang, who was standing next to him, also had a smile on his face, and he held his hand and shook it.
Thank you so much!
Li Changkong said with a smile.
You are kind!
Not far away.
The league's chief engineer, the sword, was still squatting beside the road, muttering at the concrete blocks on the ground.
How is it possible...
I happened to pass by, quit smoking and glanced at him, and saw that he was still squatting there thinking about this broken road, and couldn't help but say.
Damn... you haven't given up yet. By the way, what's the point?
To his surprise, the person who stayed under the knife actually nodded.
I saw this guy stretched out his index finger, touched the side of the road, and pinched it with his thumb and rub it.
This highway is not pure cement, and there is a fixed structure similar to steel rods inside... but it is not steel.
I was stunned for a moment when I quit smoking.
Then what are you using?
Carbon...it may also be some isomer of silicon carbide. The person under the knife clapped his hands, stood up from the ground, and said with a flashing look, I don’t know what it is, but its physical properties in all aspects such as tensile strength and yield strength are higher than those of steel.
Oh... I quit smoking and touched my chin, it was a bit interesting.
Seeing this perfunctory expression, the person who stayed under the knife couldn't help but speak.
Don't you find it strange?
Quit smoking and glanced at this guy in confusion.
What's strange about this?There is also a space elevator in the desert... Materials with higher tensile strength, isn't this thing a basic thing?
Leave someone under the knife: …
It makes sense.
He didn't know how to refute for a moment.
In the distance, the ribbon cutting ceremony ended.
Just as Chu Guang was thinking about where to repair something that was idle equipment, Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came from his ears.
Owner!Prince Kariman wants to see you and says there is something important to discuss with you. Do you want to meet you?
