This move made Meng Da very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Now that things have happened, he can't change anything. He can only continue to postpone the attack on the human war fortress.

Chapter 156 A brief period of tranquility and the influx of refugees

Star calendar November 14th.

Nameless Mountain Elemental Line, War Fortress.

Malz looked at the snow-covered open space outside the fortress with some doubts in his eyes.

Since the orcs' defeat that night, they have never launched an offensive action again.

With this abnormal behavior, Malz initially thought that the orcs were preparing for a bigger attack, but judging from the intelligence sent by Noros, the surrounding orc army had basically evacuated.

This information made him a little confused. Did the orcs just give up like this?

You know, the orc army has lost a lot of people here, but they can actually swallow this?

However, the orcs did not launch an attack, which was a good thing for Maltz. Although the damage to the war fortress that night was urgently repaired, the intensity was definitely not that high.

Now, taking advantage of the time when the orc army was not attacking, he organized his team to carry out major repairs to the battle formation fortress in addition to pressing bullets for the magazines every day.

On the other side, inside the Qingyuan Town military camp command post.

Gudern looked at the huge sand table in front of him and thought about the next mission plan.

Judging from the intelligence collected by Noros and the reconnaissance team that were dispatched in the past two days.

There are only less than 30,000 troops left in the entire Qingyuan Ridge, of which 10,000 are deployed near the elemental lines, and the other less than 20,000 orc troops are deployed on the battle formation fortress and the only way to the elemental lines. .

The blockade runs from the river in the north to the Songhai Ridge connecting below. With such a deployment, even Noros would have to choose to go south or north, making a large circle to reach the war fortress.

As for the convoy to set off for supplies, the only option is to go south and pass through an unknown area of ​​more than 80 kilometers.

Such risks will undoubtedly become more dangerous. The deployment of the orcs has also forced Gudern to temporarily stop the reinforcement plan. There is currently no war in the war fortress, and the evacuation convoy cannot arrive. He can only continue to garrison and arrange for Noros to arrive every day. To deliver needed supplies and information.

"We will study and discuss the route of the team that breaks through, and prepare response plans for all worst-case scenarios as much as possible. In addition, training work must be accelerated to avoid problems."

Gudern asked after arranging tasks for everyone in the command room.

"How are the arrangements for comfort and compensation for the families of the fallen soldiers being made?"

Although there is no fighting in the war fortress, Gudern still attaches great importance to these soldiers.

He has not announced such shocking results yet, and is waiting for the hero to return to give the residents a shot in the arm to reassure them.

"Except for a few who have no family members, all other families have been appeased and compensation has been almost arranged. At the same time, the rumors about the sacrifice have also been resolved."

Old Joseph reported seriously on the sidelines. With the city closed, residents were too closed to external sources of information, and there would always be some rumors that suddenly spread.

For example, the twenty-eight soldiers who died suddenly, their families had no idea what mission they were performing and died. Although the lord received generous compensation, some unnecessary rumors would still spread quickly.

The General Affairs Department, which had started control work, and the intelligence department, were able to control and find the perpetrator as quickly as possible. However, after investigation, it was found that the other party did not do it intentionally, but was just afraid of war.

It is not easy to punish this situation, only a verbal warning can be given.

Although this kind of thing seems very small and does not cause serious losses, over time, a very serious problem will arise for people's hearts.

Gudern takes this kind of thing very seriously. If this kind of thing is not handled well, a huge morale problem will erupt in the town.

For this reason, he had to arrange various plans to solve this problem, and the record of the soldiers in the War Fortress was a good solution.

"Well, the appeasement work should not end in just one round. We will send people to continue to follow up and understand. If the families of the martyrs have any problems or difficulties, the General Affairs Department must do their best to solve them. If they cannot be handled, they can be reported to me, and I will Come and make arrangements, the families of these martyrs are qualified."

Gudern said in a very serious tone.

"Yes, Master."

Several people from the General Affairs Department bowed their heads slightly and responded.

Although Gudern's arrangement will increase their workload, they have no complaints.

They were actually very happy to provide such generous compensation to the soldiers who died in battle. The fact that Gooden could do this was enough to show that he valued them. If one day he encountered misfortune, then this mechanism and policy would be of great help to them. For those who work for Qingyuan Town, it can undoubtedly help them solve their worries after death.

After all, Gudern personally ordered that anyone who works in Qingyuan Town will be able to enjoy the post-sacrifice subsidy if they encounter any accident, but this subsidy also has different levels.

But even the lowest sacrifice subsidy is enough to take care of their family for the rest of their lives.

With the introduction of this policy, the number of soldiers joining the army has skyrocketed. After all, joining the army means fighting, and the uncertainty and danger brought by fighting make the mortality rate high. Of course, this is based on their past experience. look.

This made it difficult to recruit people for the initial expansion of the army. Later, it was the increase in various welfare benefits that attracted many people to join.

Now with the emergence of sacrifice subsidies, many people are even more excited. Although joining the army will be tiring, the military pay and benefits are among the best. Now that there are no worries about death, a large number of people are willing to join the army.

"Also, how is the content of the first batch of newspapers and periodicals arranged?"

After ending the serious military issues, Gooden also shifted the topic to people's livelihood.

"According to your modification requirements, the content and layout have been completed, and the first batch of printing and publicity are being arranged. It is expected that the first issue of the newspaper will be produced tomorrow."

The person in charge of this area of ​​work from the General Affairs Department is not here, but as the immediate boss of all departments, Kroger is still concerned about the arrangements and tasks in this area.

"Yes, we can produce more of the first batch. We will determine the number of newspapers for the second batch based on the sales situation. The current newspaper update speed should be completed once a week as much as possible, and the speed will be gradually increased later, but the current newspaper quality must be high. , and the words used should be as commonly used as possible.”

"OK."

Kroger nodded slightly and took note of what Gudern said.

The daily routine meeting was almost over, and everyone then got up and excused themselves to Gooden to arrange tasks.

Gudern, on the other hand, stayed alone in the command room looking at the map in a daze.

Since the appearance of the orc army, his working place has been changed from the castle to the command room of the military camp.

Although the orc army did not launch an attack on the War Fortress and Qingyuan Town, the surrounding situation was not optimistic.

As he had guessed, the orcs had already taken control of most of the lords' castles and towns the day after they appeared, on the twelfth.

At the same time, Jinyuan City was also attacked and besieged by the orcs that day. Under the attack of a hundred thousand troops, Jinyuan City was lost that night. Immediately afterwards, the orc army regrouped and split into two, preparing to attack the other two nearby cities. .

By now, the orc army should have arrived or launched an attack on the city in the second round.

With this kind of attack speed, even if the empire was prepared, it would still be difficult to slow down the orcs' attack speed.

If the orcs can really execute their attack plan perfectly, in less than half a month, at least half of the northern territory will have the orc surname, and together with the cities captured by the orcs, it will also be a threat to the counterattacking imperial army. A headache.

Under such various reasons, it is difficult for Gooden to predict when the empire's reinforcements will be able to counterattack, but the only thing that can be determined is that they can only rely on them for security work in Qingyuan Town in a short period of time. Own.

This news is not a good thing for Gudern. After all, the orcs have completed the blockade of the western part of the North, so the next target is him.

Isn't a small town trapped to death a piece of meat for the orc army?

Now, in addition to arranging the deployment of the town, the most important thing is to modify the entries.

Entry modification is another direction to solve the crisis this time, but this thing relies too much on randomness, and Gudern cannot guarantee when he will get helpful entries.

While he was thinking about it, old Joseph, who had just left not long ago, suddenly returned with a strange look on his face and reported to Gooden.

"Master, a large number of refugees have come outside the city. They claim to have escaped from Jinyuan City and want us to take them in."

"Huh? Refugees from Kanehara City?"

Upon hearing the news, Gudern was stunned for a moment and his expression became a little strange.

The refugees from Jinyuan City...why are they running to him?

If you want to evacuate, you should run to the center of the empire, Fenggu Plain. Why are you running to the border in the opposite direction?

"How many refugees are there in this group? Have you ever asked why they came to Qingyuan Town?"

"There are at least more than five hundred people. In addition to ordinary residents, there are many soldiers of the empire in the mixed crowd. The person negotiating is none other than Feroz from the auction house."

After hearing this, Gudern's expression softened slightly, but he still did not lower his vigilance.

"Let this group of people come in first, and some people from the police and militia will be taken over. They will be arranged to the area in the north of the city. After checking the information, they will report to me. In addition, let Feroz come to me. Ask about the specific situation of Jinyuan City."

"Yes, Master."

After Old Joseph got the solution, he immediately went to make arrangements.

After a while, Feroz came with another middle-aged man.

Seeing that the other party was bringing other people with him, Gooden was slightly wary, but he felt relieved when he saw the name and position on the other party's board.

【Name】: Bernard

[Occupation]: Warrior, Lord of Jinyuan City

[Entry]: Basic governance, battlefield intuition, careful calculation, power without anger...

[Potential]: Rare

[Favorability]: 80 (favorability)

[Introduction: As the Lord of Jinyuan City, his fate also changed and survived because of you]

The Lord of Jinyuan City actually changed his fate because of his appearance?

When Gudern saw this introduction, his face was slightly moved. It seemed that his appearance had indeed affected many people.

If we follow the normal timeline, I am afraid that the Lord of Jinyuan City at this time would have died in the battle in Jinyuan City, instead of being able to escape to his Qingyuan Town like he can now.

"Master Gooden."

Feroze looked a little tired, but when he saw Gudern, he greeted him respectfully, and then quickly introduced the people around him.

"Master Gudern, this person next to me is the City Lord of Jinyuan City, City Lord Bernard. Please don't blame me for bringing one more person here."

"It's okay, hello, Lord Bernard. I originally planned to come to Jinyuan City to visit you in person next year, but I didn't expect it to be brought forward. I still want to take a seat in this way."

"Haha, I made you laugh." Bernard responded with some helplessness on his face.

For the Lord of Jinyuan City, Gudern was very considerate and courteous to him, and invited him to sit down before continuing the conversation.

"Can you tell me what the specific situation is in Jinyuan City? And why did you choose to come to me instead of going to the safer center of the empire?"

As soon as he sat down, Gudern had no time for small talk and wanted to know the specific situation.

As for these two issues, Bernard, as the city lord, now has no airs and directly told Gudern personally about the situation in the past two days.
