Chapter 187 Border City
The location of Jiuqi is not very good.

Before Roland arrived in Old Qi, the reason why it was so barren was largely due to its geographical location.

The location of the old Qi city is very awkward. Among the United Army’s rear cities, it is the city closest to the front line, and among the border cities, it is the city closest to the rear.

It is the city in the rear that is most vulnerable to the influence of the front lines, and is the first line of defense for receiving refugees fleeing from the front lines. At the same time, because it is classified as a rear city, it does not have the privileges of a border city and cannot suck blood from the rear cities.

This was the main reason why Jiuqi was so poor before and why there were a large number of refugee camps outside the city.

Unable to go up or down, the old code is stuck.

Of course, for Roland, Jiuqi's position is full of advantages. It can just meet Roland's need to accumulate original capital in the rear, and shorten the distance between Roland's army and the front line.

The poverty of Old Qi meant that the local forces in Old Qi would not be very strong. Even if Roland was alone with Hela, he could easily carry out a large-scale purge.

As for the refugees, for Roland, who has the skill of making food, every refugee who escapes is a precious labor force. Whether they are invested in territory construction or recruited as soldiers, the more the better. He will never think that the number is too many.

Being close to the front line means that Roland's logistics line will not be particularly long, which can greatly reduce the logistics pressure.

Moreover, once Roland has the right to fight independently, counterattack the Green Tide, and recapture the nearby lands, he can also find a way to capture the border cities in the middle and connect all the territories.

However, Roland, who now had no merit in resisting the Green Tide, could only abandon the nearest Green Tide front. According to the orders of the Locke Rebels, he spent more than ten days heading north to the border city where the Locke Rebels were currently attacking the Green Tide.

On May 5, the scorching sun was burning the entire earth from high in the sky.

On a land scorched by the scorching sun, a fierce battle and fight was taking place in a tall fortress city.

On the tall city wall, countless dense dark green light spots were constantly wriggling on the wall and continuously rushing towards the wall.

And on the city wall, the black spots of light were fighting frantically with all the spots of light that were trying to climb up.

On a small hill in the distance, Roland looked out at the battle in the distance.

He came at a bad time, as the border city seemed to be under siege by a group of greenskins.

Beside him, Hela also looked at the battlefield in the distance and asked Roland softly.

"Aren't you going to help them?"

"We must help, but how to help is a problem."

As Roland answered, he also silently observed the situation on the battlefield.

The siege was carried out by ordinary greenskins, without any greenskin warlords. Therefore, the defense of this border city was relatively solid. Under the tenacious resistance of the defenders, the greenskins did not gain much advantage and could not even take down the city wall.

However, although there are no greenskin warlords, they are able to organize the siege of border cities. Among these greenskins, there must be a big greenskin or a greenskin priest who is responsible for the command.

After observing for a while, Roland quickly locked onto the commander of this group of greenskins.

A group of greenskin priests protected by a large number of greenskin orcs.

Roland took a quick glance and confirmed their specific strength: several first-level priests and one second-level priest.

"Go, prepare for battle."

After saying this, Roland turned around, looked at the densely packed soldiers behind him, and spoke calmly.

"Damn it, was the support letter sent out?!"

After a flash of light killed dozens of green-skinned orcs crawling up from all directions, an officer covered in green blood shouted loudly.

"Send it out, send it out. Hold on for a few more days, support will come soon. Moreover, according to previous news, a new army organized in the rear will come to our side." Beside him, another officer drew his longbow and responded while continuously shooting and sniping the larger greenskin warriors in the green tide.

"Fuck, the new army in the rear, what use is there for that bunch of rubbish? It would be better if you could take a rest first, gather some strength, and then try to shoot those greenskin priests hiding in the rear. Relieving the pressure will help."

He suggested loudly, wiping the green blood from his face.

The officer holding the longbow sighed and said helplessly.

"No, we were able to shoot them before because they were not prepared. But now they are hiding far away and there are greenskins everywhere. We can't shoot them at all."

"too long."

He spat and cursed at the Longbow officer's answer.

"Damn it! If most of the soldiers in the city hadn't been transferred away, I would have rushed out and killed them. How dare a few greenskin tribes come to attack the city? How arrogant!"

As he said this, he swung his sword again with some anger, killing the green-skinned orc who had just climbed up the wall in front of him with an excited look on his face.

Although there are only a few small greenskin tribes and the average strength of the greenskins under their command is not very good, there are too many of them. It will take a long time to kill more than 100,000 greenskins one by one.

And just as he chopped the greenskin to death, the longbow officer also smiled bitterly and subconsciously looked towards the place where the greenskin sacrifice was taking place in the distance.

And when he took a look, he found something wrong.

In the sight filled with greenskins, some golden spots appeared on the horizon.

"what is that?"

The longbow officer continued to shoot the greenskins while shouting at the golden light in the distance.

Hearing his words, the officer with the knife also raised his head and looked over.

"Hmm? We have been fighting the greenskins for so long, there shouldn't be any golden soldiers among them, is that possible?"

The knife-wielding officer looked at the longbow officer, and at the same time, he also looked over.

The two looked at each other and said in unison.

"Reinforcements!"

Under their gaze, the golden light quickly approached.

As the distance shortened, they saw the true appearance of the golden spots of light, which were fully armed canned soldiers.

Although they couldn't tell clearly whether the soldiers under the cans were humans, they were overjoyed when they saw other human soldiers with their faces revealed next to these canned soldiers.

Given Edonnar's current situation, as long as they are not greenskins, they are reinforcements.

Of course, they have no problem with the armies of other races. Even if it is the army of dwarves or half-elfs, unless they cannot defeat the green tide, they will definitely help if they pass by and see this situation.

However, they still prefer to see an army of fellow humans.

After seeing Roland's army approaching, the morale of the defenders on the city wall also soared, and they drove all the greenskins that climbed up the wall back down.

At the same time, following Roland's order, the two main combat corps of the front army violently bombarded the rear of the greenskins from the rear, causing chaos among the greenskin tribal coalition forces.

　Why are the number of collections increasing every day, but the average subscription is increasing very slowly?

　　I hope we can have 500 average subscriptions in three months.
