Stimulated by the title of nobility, the amount of food these merchants finally provided was surprisingly high.
Obviously, it is impossible for all these grains to come from this year.
After Robert Smith sent someone to check, he quickly found a lot of old grain, and he had been hoarding it for a year or two at least.
This made him have to sigh at the keen sense of smell of those merchants.
It is estimated that as early as one or two years ago, when they realized that the grain production had begun to decline, those merchants had already slowly started hoarding grain.
At that time, if a famine breaks out, they will undoubtedly be able to make a fortune by taking advantage of the rise in food prices.
And even if there is no famine, it doesn't matter, the big deal is to sell the old grain at a cheaper price in the end, and you won't lose much money in total, but once you hit it, it will be a big profit!
However, no one expected that this wave was more profitable than they expected.
After all, before this, who of them could have imagined that such a large and powerful empire would break out of national disaster at this moment?
Normally, no matter how much money they spend, they can't buy titles, but now is their chance!
As long as they can successfully obtain a knighthood, or even the title of baron, let alone contributing food, they are willing to pay another sum of money!
As I said before, they are no longer short of money, what they want now is status!
? As their wish came true, the big merchants who successfully obtained the titles all smiled happily and said that they belonged to the Chamber of Commerce, and the granaries in each city could be whatever the empire wanted.
In this regard, Robert Smith will naturally not be polite to them.
Hastily issued orders and issued announcements, set up disaster relief sites in various cities, and began to distribute food and relieve refugees.
This approach can be said to be the most direct way to stabilize the internal situation of the empire.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
After ordering people to figure out the root cause of the decline in grain production in the past few years, Robert Smith decisively ordered that all the frozen crops be removed, and in the spring of next year, the direct planting in those fields will have a more stable yield and can adapt to the harsh growing environment crops.
In the current situation, he no longer requires the type of crops, the important thing is the yield!
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 in the East, the orc civilization was a different scene
Thanks to the food provided by Robert Smith for his orc army before, coupled with the food output of its own orc civilization, it has basically not been negatively affected by the climate. In recent years, it is rare for the orc civilization to have some food reserves.
Under this premise, Raymond Southey, who rushed all the way back to his territory in a hurry, after confirming the situation in the western border, immediately assembled a large army aggressively, preparing to destroy the enemy who invaded his territory.
During this period, the orcs had civilized the western border, and the severe winter cold did not cool down the war, and the sound of intensive shelling guns continued to echo on the battlefield in the western border.
In the hands of each dwarf soldier, the eight-barreled Yanlong cannon roared crazily, with berserk firepower, slaughtering the enemies in front of them in a strafing gesture.
Blood splattered and wailed all over the field, but the collapse of a large number of orc soldiers in the front row did not stop this orc army that had completely fallen into a state of madness.
Accompanied by a low growl full of savagery, and with heavy steps, a tauren infantry dressed in armored armor appeared on the battlefield.
The appearance of this force undoubtedly hindered the previously unstoppable army of the Western Territory.
Although the firepower of the eight-barreled Yanlong cannon is powerful, it is still a hand-held weapon, and it is obviously impossible to reach the level of destructive power of cannons and armor-piercing projectiles.
In this way, the situation on this side of the battlefield can be imagined.
The bullets fired in the past were continuously bounced by the outer armor of the iron armored beast. The appearance of this tauren infantry can be said to have instantly propped up the front line of defense of the orc army, and they continued to approach the Western Territory Legion under the firepower all the way. come over.
At this moment, the distance between the two parties can be said to be getting closer.
In this regard, the dwarven soldiers holding the eight-barreled Yanlong cannon did not feel afraid, and the entire army had no plans to retreat.
Seeing an opportunity, Du Yuanzhi made a move, and the signal flare was sent out quickly. Another hole card of the army in the western region was officially revealed at this moment.
heavyStepping on the ground, there was a series of dense muffled sounds, and in the formation of the Western Territory army, figures like steel monsters entered the battlefield forcefully.
Attack against attack, both sides are not vague. Under the protection of the armored beast armor, the enemy's tauren infantry can be said to have shown extraordinary bravery. In the blink of an eye, the battle between the two sides The distance has been shortened to within a hundred meters.
The orc army in a berserk state advanced frantically, but the newly entered army spread out its formation unhurriedly, and then raised the weapons in its hands.
Afterwards, he spotted the moment when the enemy orc soldier entered his range, and pulled the trigger at the same time.
In the next second, there was only a muffled 'boom', and in the long metal barrel, ferocious fire snakes spewed out amid roaring sounds like ferocious beasts coming out of their cages!
At this moment, it was the wild boar arsonists who appeared on this battlefield in the western region!
No matter how hard your armor is, the terrible high-temperature corrosion 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 ferocious fire snake completely engulfed the group of tauren infantry who rushed to the front in an instant.
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 out in recent years!
As soon as it came out, it gave the enemy orc army a hellish experience.
The enemy orc soldiers, who were facing the hail of bullets one moment ago, rushed forward with a fearless attitude, and at the next moment, in front of the terrifying flamethrowers, they turned into cokes one after another. .
If it is said that the advantage of the Eastern Legion lies in the powerful mobility of the cavalry army and the flexible offensive style, then the advantage of the Western Legion is undoubtedly the almost unreasonable fierce firepower!
There is no need to say anything about how terrifying the accumulated firepower is from the regular five-stage assault rifle phalanx, the unique eight-barreled flame dragon cannon unique to the dwarves, and the explosive output of these wild boar arsonists!
