Chapter 569: Edge of the War Zone (V)

Year 5, July 3, summer.

Western War Zone of the Allied Forces.

A month has passed since the Allied Forces captured the western part of the Sky Island Continent. The Allied Forces have used the original dividing line to divide themselves into two war zones, the East and the West, but the difference is that now the two war zones are united under one flag.

Temporary.

Some of the troops on the original western defense line fled to the base of the Chinese Army with their technology and resources, and some chose to withdraw from this expeditionary world with their own resources and settle in a new world.

The lords discussed the issue of land distribution for a month. During this month, only those lords with outstanding military strengths relied on their military advantages to get new territories, and the remaining 80% of the lords were still arguing with their colleagues with close military strengths.

Apart from their arguments, the quality of the areas allocated will affect the development of the lords for a long time in the future.

There are two more popular areas, one is the defense belt located in the outer ring of the control area, and the other is the area located in the belly of the defense line that has been developed or is being developed by the Western Defense Line.

It is worth mentioning that the resource areas are all resource areas that can be developed and utilized in the short term. After all, the lords have no intention of using half a year to open up wasteland and build mines.

No one wants to go to the wasteland.

The former residents helped them solve this problem. They have transformed part of the area from the barren and wild forest into a production area that can be directly used. After the lords take over, they can deploy their own population to start industrial resources.

The outermost lords need to bear the great defense pressure that may arise in the future, but at the same time they also have great room for survival and growth... The future is promising.

A piece of meat that can be torn out is a piece of meat. The "no man's land" outside the outer defense zone is all resources. The vast no man's land is the source of resources for the lords of the outer defense circle.

As the first-line defense lords, they can collect a lot of spoils from the attackers, which is their extra output, which is of little help to the lords' research and development of new technologies.

The biggest advantage... may be that they can still maintain a large number of standing armies.

As for the remaining lords, their luck is not too bad. There are still quite a lot of undeveloped resources in the defense zone... They need to put down their outposts in those areas and slowly develop them from scratch.

To repay the war debts borne by the lords of the western defense zone.

War debts are fair. Everyone's debt is the same. If you really discuss this thing, these lords can talk about it from now to years later.

Or in other words... the distribution of war debts has been allocated when the territory is allocated. Lords with sufficient resources can pay off their debts faster and easier.

Standard Mining, the Ring Island Alliance, and the Eastern Defense Zone.

There is no aid without reason in the world.

When you are going to be an enemy of a country, all kinds of weapons will grow out of the ground, which makes people sigh that this is a gift from nature.

You can get investment only if you show your value, and investors do not ask for returns... What you do is part of the return.

"Don't forget our agreement." The official in the Standard Mining uniform reminded.

Of course, some small formal returns are still required, this is a charity event.

"We will repay the aid within three months." Gao Yu nodded, but his eyes could not help but look at the wooden crates placed next to Standard Mining.

Aid from United Mining.

New rifles, enough to equip an army.

It is not the old-fashioned muskets that they got that need to use paper shell fixed bullets, but weapons that can really be called rifles.

Rifles using metal fixed bullets, firing pins, seamless steel pipes and rifling.

As a lord from the same world, he certainly knew what this meant.

"The rifles used by those guards are better." Li Xiang's voice fell into Gao Yu's ears through the private transmission, and his eyes fell on the guards wearing dark blue standard mining uniforms near the wooden crates.

There was a prominent magazine exposed at the bottom of the rifle carried by the guards, indicating that they were using more complex magazine rifles.

The weapons they provided to themselves could be transformed into this kind of magazine rifle after modification, but it seemed that they did not want to provide themselves with this kind of rifle that can fire multiple rounds.

"If we modify it ourselves, it will be cost-effective." Li Xiang continued: "It may be necessary to cut the lower part of the barrel, cut the seamless steel pipe and add parts... I can let my elf craftsmen think of a way to get the parts."

The dean would tell him that it was only because the production cost of a single-shot rifle was extremely low, a steel pipe, a piece of wood, an airtight rubber ring, an integrated metal bolt and a rune electric ignition component plus a trigger to complete it.

The magazine part is omitted, and the airtightness is not so perfect. The parts that can be molded in one piece are definitely not combined parts... In the end, the production time required for this simplified rifle is only 20% of that of the magazine rifle.

Ji Lin is very satisfied with the extreme production capacity and the extreme cost performance.

But it is sold at a low price.

Gao Yu didn't think so much. No matter how simple the single-shot rifle looks, it is much better than the flintlock in his hand.

He, Li Xiang, and Hui Xia all chose the same outer ring defense zone as their new territory. They lost a large number of soldiers in the battle and now urgently need to replenish their equipment.

The system will only resurrect people, and weapons and equipment will be lost in place.

Gao Yu wanted to take this opportunity to replace his troops with new equipment, and Li Xiang of the Elf Lord also had the same idea... As for the Undead Lord Huixia, the undead have no human rights.

The old problem of the difficulty of transformation of the skeleton soldiers recurred. Their soul fire could not teach them how to use rifles. Their simple brains were worse than the constructs when operating long-range weapons.

However, this pile of skeletons can also greatly reduce the damage of rifles because of their small bullet area.

The higher-level undead troops have some wisdom and can use rifles, but they have their own undead magic, and the demand for firearms is not that great... Either the transformed constructs do not use rifles at all, or they will deliberately create a hand to allow them to fire two rifles at the same time.

Ghost troops are compatible with firearms, but it is extremely difficult to obtain spirit troops. Huixia only has one elite unit, the Death Terror Heavy Cavalry, which periodically releases Desolation Erosion.

The higher-level lich can already defeat the enemy with necromancy and plague magic, and needs firearms, which are like chicken ribs.

Huixia's undead technology tree is more earthly. The netherworld undead lord who runs around with desolation plague and a bunch of skeletons is kicked back to his hometown by a group of people before his butt is warm.

Gao Yu remembered the destructive rain of fire that fell from the sky during the attack that night, destroying a half-fortress of the Teutonic Knights in a straight line. The knights' soldiers did not even have time to respond and were crushed by the overwhelming firepower.

Standard Mining's technology...

If I stand opposite United Mining, what is waiting for me may be such an overwhelming firepower without mercy.
