Chapter 634： Extended line of defense (2/2)
Victoria once again caught up with the half-elf's footsteps. She kept silent for a short period of time. She did not defend the aristocratic system, nor did she explain to the half-elves that seemed to be very biased against the nobility. The meaning, although she was very concerned about these things, but at this moment, she did not want to defend these things at all.
After the silence, she just asked a question: "In the winter of the past two years, the city of Cecil really did not starve to death?"
“Of course, we have a well-established demographic and management system, and the death and birth of every population is registered.”
"...how did you do it? Without an aristocratic system..."
“Do you mean food supply or population management?”
"Everything."
"Oh, then let's talk slowly," Amber raised his head and glanced at the collapsed castle, which was not too far away. "We should start with the relationship between land and people..."
......
North Plains of Hongfeng City, on the banks of the Gorgon River, Gaowen stands on a lookout in the frontline camp, watching the busy scene in the direction of the pier.
The artillery and flames dispelled the corrupt pollution on the plain. The Cecil Corps successfully occupied a large dock that once belonged to the local lord. After the intensive renovation, the engineering units widened the road and strengthened the old dock. The stony trestle bridge turned it into a temporary military dock. At this moment, a neatly arranged tank was heading for the reinforced trestle, and a fully armed soldier lined up to board the ship.
On the banks of the Gorgon River, three Cecil main battleships are performing vigilance missions away from the trestle, while a series of frigate gunships modified by civilian ships or light gunships that have been rushed from the rear shipyard are on the wide river. There are also several sturdy boats with wide decks and sturdy hulls attached to the edge of the trestle, carrying soldiers and chariots that board the ship.
The cargo ships that don’t look like warships are retrofitted military cargo ships that are deployed from the rear – although they have been converted into military ones, due to limited time, they are actually only added to key parts of the hull. Some steel plates, a set of shield generators welded on the hull, and a set of magic nets that can be connected to the "Pioneer" in the cabin, even the basic weapon system is not available. The system means a large-scale transformation of the power ridges, and the capacity of the shipyard is not enough. Their safety depends entirely on the **** warships.
These "armored heavy ships" were originally intended to be used to transfer refugees from the northern regions. They began to renovate when the ground forces advanced to the north, but when they finally completed the renovation, Gao Wen found that there was almost no pollution in the area. How many refugees are available for transfer, so these vessels are used to transport all kinds of supplies to the front line, and today they are welcoming new missions: sailing with the Cecil fleet, full of chariots and soldiers to St. Souni The line of defense, holding the important portal.
This force, which will only pass through the Gorgon River, will arrive in St. Sunil several days ahead of the main ground.
Footsteps came from behind, and Philip came to the observatory and said after Gao Wen’s salute: “The steel cavalry has sent the Victorian Duke and Amber to the vicinity of the tulip, and the soldiers visually confirmed that the mage tower is still Run, if all goes well, the news will be sent to St. Sunil today."
"Very good," Gao Wen nodded. "When they come back, it should be loaded almost like this, so they can board the ship."
Philippe hesitated a little and couldn't help but reconfirm: "Do you really want to be in person?"
Gao Wen laughed: "I have already been here, and what is the difference between going north?"
"But the task of the first troop is tough and dangerous. In order to support the king as soon as possible, it has to leave the main force of the ground. After arriving in St. Sunil, it must fight for at least five days away from the rear support. In the worst case, St. Sunil will be defeated before the arrival of the first unit, so that the first unit is directly sent to the deepest part of the monster's encirclement - even if there are Trail Blazers and Aurora, Morning Star When the warships are screened and evacuated, the loss of the troops will be extremely heavy."
"So it needs a strong ground commander," Gao Wen glanced at Philip. "You must stay behind to command the main army. The rest is me."
"...this is true."
"I will go to St. Sunil to organize the defense line. There are three main battleships with fire support. There is no problem in the north." Gao Wen smiled and patted Philip's shoulder. "You just need to continue to follow the plan. Coastal defenses prevent those monsters from further polluting the West Bank. Finally, we meet at St. Sunille – to close this blockade.”
When he finished, he sighed softly and said faintly: "And as for the king, it will not fall before that... Victoria believes that Berdwin and Wales can keep St. Sunil, and I will believe her once. ”
