Chapter 1350 Revealing Hideousness
Stimulated by the noble titles, the amount of food these merchants eventually took out was surprisingly high.
These grains obviously cannot be all this year.
After Robert Smith sent someone to check, he soon found a lot of old grain, and at least he had been stocking it for a year or two.
This made him have to sigh at the keen sense of smell of the merchants.
It is estimated as early as a year or two ago that when they realized that the grain production began to decline, the merchants had already slowly started to stock up on grain.
At that time, if there is a famine, they will undoubtedly be able to make a lot of money by taking advantage of rising food prices.
And even if there is no famine, it doesn't matter. The big deal is that if you sell those old grains cheaper, you won't lose much money in total, but once you hit it, it will be a big profit!
But no one thought that this wave would be more profitable than they expected.
After all, before this, who could have imagined that such a huge and powerful empire would have a national disaster at this moment?
No matter how much money they spend on a title, they can't buy it on weekdays, but now is the chance!
As long as they can successfully obtain a knight or even the title of a baron, let alone donate food, even if they put a sum of money in it, they will be happy!
Like I said before, they are not bad for money anymore, what they want now is status!
As they wished, the big businessmen who successfully won the title, all beaming with joy, said that under the name of their chamber of commerce, the granary of each city can be taken by the empire.
Naturally, Robert Smith would not be polite to them.
He quickly issued an order, issued an announcement, set up disaster relief points in various cities, and began to distribute food and relieve refugees.
This approach can be said to be the most direct stabilization of the internal situation of the empire.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
After ordering people to find out the root cause of the decline in grain production in recent years, Robert Smith decisively ordered that all the frozen crops should be removed. In the spring of next year, planting directly in those fields will have more stable yields and be able to adapt to the harsh growing environment. of crops.
In the current situation, he no longer has requirements for the types of crops, the important thing is the output!
As long as the output can be stabilized, he can survive this wave!
At the same time, compared to Robert Smith, who was busy stabilizing the internal situation and didn't even have time to manage the war situation in the Eastern Realm, the Orc Civilization side is a different scene...
Thanks to the food provided by Robert Smith for his orc army before, coupled with the food production of his own orc civilization, it was basically not negatively affected by the climate, making it rare for the orc civilization to have some food in the past few years.
Under this premise, Raymond Souci, who hurried back to his territory all the way, after confirming the situation of the Western Frontier battle, immediately assembled a large army, ready to destroy the enemy who had invaded his territory.
During this period, in the western border of the orc civilization, the severe cold of winter did not cool down the war, and the sound of intensive shelling and gunfire constantly echoed on the battlefield of this western border.
In the hands of the dwarf soldiers, the eight-barrel flame dragon cannons roared wildly, and the furious firepower slaughtered the enemies in front of them in a strafing manner.
Blood splattered and wailed everywhere, but the fall of a large number of orc soldiers in the front row did not stop this army of orcs that had fallen into a state of madness.
Accompanied by a wild low roar, stepping on heavy steps, a tauren infantry in the armor of an iron beast appeared on this battlefield.
The appearance of this troop undoubtedly hindered the previously unstoppable Western Army.
Although the firepower of the eight-barrel Yanlong Cannon is tyrannical, it is a hand-held weapon after all, and it is obviously impossible to reach the destructive power of cannons and armor-piercing bullets.
In this way, the situation on this side of the battlefield can be imagined.
The bullets fired in the past were constantly being bombarded by the armor of the iron-clad beasts. The appearance of this tauren infantry can be said to have instantly propped up the front line of the orc army, with the firepower all the way, constantly approaching the western army. come over.
At this moment, the distance between the two sides can be said to be getting closer and closer.
In this regard, the dwarf soldiers holding the eight-barrel flame dragon cannon were not afraid of it, and the entire army had no plans to retreat.
Seeing an opportunity, Du Yuanzhi made a move, and the signal flare was quickly sent out, and another hole card of the Western Army was officially opened at this moment.
Heavy steps stomped on the ground, causing a series of dense muffled noises, and in the army formation of the Western Army, one after another silhouette like a steel monster rushed into the battlefield.
Attack by attack, both sides are not vague. Under the protection of the armor of the iron beast, the enemy's tauren infantry can be said to have shown extraordinary bravery. The distance has been shortened to less than 100 meters.
The orc army in the state of madness pushed forward frantically, but the newly entered troop spread out its formation unhurriedly, and then raised the weapon in its hand.
Then, seeing the moment when the enemy orc soldier entered his range, he pulled the trigger at the same time.
The next second, only a muffled sound of 'Boom' was heard, and in the long metal barrel, the fiery fire snakes spewed out in a roar like a beast coming out of their cage!
At this moment, it is the wild boar arsonist who appeared on this western battlefield!
The terrifying high temperature erosion, but no matter how hard your armor is, the special military fuel can be said to be almost pervasive, and any small gap can easily spread into it.
The rifle in his hand was scrapped on the spot, and the nearly 40-meter-long fiery fiery snake completely engulfed the group of tauren infantry that rushed at the front.
It is no exaggeration to say that the wild boar arsonist is definitely the most terrifying of the several special units that Luo Ji has tossed up in recent years!
As soon as he appeared on the scene, he brought a hellish experience to the enemy orc army.
The enemy orc soldiers who were still under the hail of bullets a moment ago and rushed forward with a posture of fearless death, in the next moment, in front of the terrifying flamethrowers, turned into coke after one after another. .
If it is said that the advantage of the Eastern Frontier Corps lies in the powerful maneuverability of the cavalry army and its flexible offensive style, then the advantage of the Western Frontier Corps is undoubtedly its almost unreasonable ferocious firepower!
The conventional five-stage rifle phalanx, the unique eight-barrel flame dragon cannon of the dwarves, and the explosive output of these wild boar arsonists, how terrifying the accumulated firepower is, there is no need to say more!
