Rise of the Plants

The defeat of the First Army Corps spread across the entire battlefield like a strong wind. Upon hearing the news, the originally enthusiastic noble team suddenly stopped. They finally realized that those wild orcs were not bandits and refugees in their territory.

The reason why they were able to achieve such unstoppable momentum before was simply because the number of wild orcs was too small. But the further north they go, the more they become. The number of wild orcs now is enough to confront them head-on.

The strength of the First Legion is among the best among all teams, both in terms of quantity and equipment. Even though the First Legion was reorganized, their soldiers were still considered formal soldiers after all. But unexpectedly, they failed even this time, and were wiped out without any resistance.

In the end, only the legion commander and his own bodyguards were able to come back alive, and there were not many left.

Mocha, who was also charging very fast, turned even paler after receiving the news. "Oh, damn it, how could the First Legion be suddenly wiped out?"

Mocha was extremely happy in his heart. He originally followed the same path as the First Army. If he was the fastest one at that time, he must be the one escaping now. Mocha never considered whether he had the ability to escape.

"You guys tell me, what should we do now." The first legion was wiped out, and all the legion attacks on the front line seemed to be stimulated. "Or, let's evacuate and come back when the situation here gets better."

"No, sir, we absolutely cannot evacuate." The military think tank immediately objected.

"Why is it you again? If you don't evacuate from such a dangerous situation, if something happens to the adults, do you have to be responsible?"

The think tank glared at this guy, he was just a flatterer and didn't understand anything.

"Sir, if we evacuate now, we will become the main culprit for the entire army's retreat. We cannot bear the blame. Besides, there are still people in front of us. As long as we are careful, there will be no problem. As long as we have not received the order, there will be no problem." Next, if we evacuate, the nobles in the rear won’t let us go easily.”

Yes, there are also great nobles. Mocha finally became smarter. If it were him, he wouldn't allow it.

"Don't listen to this bastard's nonsense. I think he has ulterior motives."

"Shut up." Mo Cha's words made this guy shut up quickly. This guy knows what he is capable of. He has no ability. He just wants to flatter him. His master has opened his mouth, so he can only keep his mouth shut.

"Tell me, what should we do in this situation?"

The think tank was silent for a moment, and then said: "Sir, there are two ways now. The first is to wait for orders from the rear. Let's stop temporarily and find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If that doesn't work, then we can We cannot evacuate until other teams have escaped, and we must not be the first to evacuate."

It seemed that the danger made Mocha smarter. Mocha nodded: "Then I'll listen to you."

Many of the teams ahead made similar moves. Likewise, there are some teams preparing to evacuate.

But not long after, the leaders of these evacuating teams were captured. Although they were nobles and could not kill them, the soldiers were left behind and incorporated into other teams, no longer part of their army.

On the contrary, these nobles who evacuated the team suddenly became villains, waiting for punishment from above. It will be difficult for nobles who have stains on their bodies to do anything in the future.

Immediately afterwards, the order from the rear came. This time, the order asked them to stay put and look for territories that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and to stop temporarily. Just wanting to evacuate is not that easy.

Because the annihilation of the First Legion had an impact beyond everyone's imagination. Many people who originally wanted to take up the post of pioneer lords simply gave up. So what if I could never get the territory? I didn't have any in the first place. So what if I can't get it within three generations? It's not me anyway.

Some people who originally had territory also gave up going back and immediately retreated. In their hearts, as long as they can make contributions in other aspects, they still have hope of getting their territory back.

Of course, there are also some who have entered their own territory because the territory is too far forward. As a result, as soon as the large army stopped, many wild orcs were raging in this place. These people were all dead in one fell swoop.

After this happened, more and more people gave up going to their own territory. At this time, many people felt lucky. Fortunately, the king had made the conditions for the inheritance of the territory so harsh. It would be embarrassing if they participated.

When the frontline troops were charging, Chinan's territory also received some corresponding news. I don’t know the specific situation because there is currently no specialized intelligence organization in the territory. Chi Nan just knew that the front-line attack went very smoothly. Chi Nan himself doesn't know what the specific situation is, but it is true that the situation is very good now.

Looking at my own territory, the current construction is also very good. The three entrances and exits are now blocked, and two small fortresses and the front wall have been built respectively, and it has developed like a small town.

It was surrounded by a layer of nanmu city wall and became a military fortress. If you want to enter or exit, you must pass through this fortress. Anyway, except for those who come in, there is no one going out.

I don't know if it is because of the frontline counterattack, but many hidden civilian refugees are wandering around, and many of them have come to me. In just a few days, the population of the territory reached 5,000.

It may not seem like much, but it is actually among the best in the barony. Chi Nan also seized the time to expand his army, directly increasing the number of troops in the territory to 300 people. With the new pea cannon, it is very easy to train the army. After all, if you hold something like a gun in your hand, as long as you are not an idiot, you can use it to fight.

A large amount of yellow land outside was also cleared by Chi Nan from the black valley, and all was replaced with noodles. Flour has now become the only food in the territory, and no one will eat those unpalatable black grains.

The situation in the territory is excellent, and his research on plants is constantly gaining results. But on this day, another trouble faced him. "Lack of water, how come there is a shortage of water? Our territory only lacks food, isn't it?" Chi Nan looked at the report in his hand and almost couldn't help but roar.
