Chapter 176 Green Grass City

The collapse of the Central Kingdom was almost a devastating blow to Donnar.

The greenskin orcs were destroying like a tide, devouring everything in sight. Countless knight kingdoms were destroyed and overthrown, even the knight kingdom located in the west that had not yet been invaded by the green tide. The countless refugees pouring in from the east and the greenskin warlords who chased the refugees quickly defeated them.

The knightly rule of Donnar that had lasted for countless years was completely shattered by extremely brutal violence.

Even after the United Army was established on the ruins of the Knight Kingdom and successfully defeated the mobile greenskin warlords, it re-established its rule over the current controlled areas.

However, the knights' rule that had lasted for countless years had completely collapsed. Even though the United Army had taken over these controlled areas again, the heavy military pressure from the Green Tide, the turbulent situation in various places, and the internal political chaos made it difficult for the United Army to re-establish effective rule.

However, there is no power vacuum, power only transfers.

When the coalition forces were unable to establish effective rule, the power that was vacant in various places naturally flowed into the hands of local forces.

Wandering knights who fled from the East, military commanders, local knight families and nobles, warlords and chambers of commerce with armies, adventure groups from Sinar, mercenaries and speculators.

They all took up power in various places at the same time, quickly ending the brief power vacuum.

In this regard, the United Army could only turn a blind eye. Except for some areas that were under their tight control, they could only let them govern themselves in the rest of the areas that they could not control. As long as they paid taxes, they did not care who was in charge.

Therefore, although the area controlled by the United Nations Army seems to be large, except for a few core areas, the rest of the area is basically under local autonomy.

If it weren't for the Green Tide, the United Army would have long since split into countless warlords of varying sizes.

Although now there is no difference between them and the separatist warlords, all parties on the front line have joined forces to fight against the Green Tide, and the local forces in the rear, apart from providing limited support, are constantly fighting against each other, fighting openly and covertly, and annexing each other.

All I can say is that the situation in the rear is like this. All parties on the front line just need to devote themselves to the battlefield, fight against the green tide, and fight hard to kill the enemy, but the forces in the rear have a lot of things to consider.

For example: how to invade and annex neighboring countries to expand their own power, how to exploit civilians more efficiently, how to find excuses to cut support for the front line and transfer more wealth to Sinar.
In short, in today's East Nar, conquests and annexations between local forces are commonplace and not a rare thing. As long as you don't carry out a massacre in the city and get discovered by others and make a big deal out of it, basically no one will care.

Therefore, after learning about this situation, Roland did not hesitate at all and led more than 6,000 soldiers under his command to attack the enemy's second largest city, Qingcao City.

Qingcao City is a city with a large grassland. Due to its terrain and abundant resources, the animal husbandry in Qingcao City is relatively developed, and there are several large horse farms.

In the past, Qingcao City exported a large number of ordinary horses and war horses every year, and was a very important source of military resources.

Even after the Green Tide ravaged the livestock industry in Qingcao City and several large horse farms suffered heavy losses, Qingcao City was still able to produce horses stably and its importance to the Allied Forces was still very high.

Therefore, the forces that control this city also attach great importance to Qingcao City.

Therefore, when Roland led his soldiers to charge straight towards Qingcao City, Qingcao City, which had a certain amount of horse resources, also immediately received the news.

In a study room in a large courtyard in Green Grass City, a man in gorgeous clothes sat on a chair, listening nonchalantly to the news about Roland's invasion. "Isn't it just 6,000 infantry? There's not even a single knight. What's there to be nervous about?"

After hearing the report from his subordinates, he glanced at the business plan on the table and said with disdain.

"What were the names of the two wizards coming from the west? Roland and Hela, right?"

He put down the pen in his hand, looked at the subordinate in front of him, and said.

"Except for the two of them, the rest are probably just there to make up the numbers. In three months, what can they produce? No matter how good it looks, it's just for show."

Although he had never seen the appearance of these more than 6,000 soldiers, he still made the decision with great confidence.

In this regard, his subordinates also felt that he was right.

Although they heard all kinds of praise about the soldiers from the patrol team, Roland and Hela both went to Old Qi with empty hands. In just three months, how could they not only develop Old Qi to a thriving level, but also pull out an elite force?

He picked up the business plan on the table and nodded with satisfaction. Although Donnar was in chaos now, it was also a great opportunity to make a fortune from the war. He certainly could not give up such a good opportunity.

After drawing up the business plan, he gave orders casually without even looking at his subordinates.

"However, since we can destroy the advance team, we still have to pay more attention to the two wizards. Let Lonnie take a thousand soldiers to make up the number. Tell him not to rush too far forward. Let the others consume the opponent's magic power first."

"Yes."

The subordinate nodded, responded, and then quietly and slowly left the room.

At the same time as they were making decisions, similar decisions were also being made in various parts of Qingcao City by the various forces that jointly ruled Qingcao City.

No matter how they fight among themselves, they still understand that they have to unite when facing the outside world.

Therefore, you send out some people, I send out some people, and soon, an army of more than 20,000 people was formed in Qingcao City in a chaotic manner, and they marched towards Roland in a mighty manner.

However, although this army seems to have a lot of people, its real core combat force is only 5,000 soldiers and a dozen extraordinary people sent by several forces. The remaining 13,000 people are ordinary conscripts and laborers, and they don't even have weapons.

In addition to these soldiers who are going to fight, the rest are various people from the service industry, including military caravans, circuses, male prostitutes, female prostitutes, or some miscellaneous small businessmen.

As soon as the entire army went out, it was extremely noisy, with all kinds of noises mixed together.

Those who knew clearly understood that they were going out to fight, while those who didn't thought that something exciting was happening.
