Chapter 249 Ghana
Sherik stood on the crude watchtower, helplessly observing the situation around the grassland.

However, compared to the previous vigilance, as the front-line troops advanced frantically, this place soon ceased to be the front line, and the number of greenskins that occasionally appeared also dropped rapidly.

Especially under the repeated raids by the guerrillas in the rear,

After taking a quick glance and finding no movement from the greenskins, he leaned against the wall and stuck his head out to observe the situation below.

Below the watchtower, a team of a thousand men led by Chahar were walking into the camp below.

Although almost half of the soldiers in the thousand-man team looked murderous, as one of the important camps on the front line, the residents of this camp were very familiar with this. After all, similar soldiers came here every day. If there was a riot every time they came, the camp should have been disbanded long ago.

Moreover, Chahar's thousand-man team are legion soldiers. Everyone knows that the legion soldiers have strict military discipline. As long as they don't commit suicide, there will basically be no problem.

Therefore, the residents who saw the thousands of people were not surprised and continued to do their own things.

Of course, the legionnaires can be assured, but if they encounter a ragtag army, the residents will be more cautious.

The quality of the troops sent from the border areas was uneven, and after returning to the camp, no one cared about the soldiers. Who knew if any of the soldiers would suddenly go crazy in the camp.

Although there were legionnaires responsible for maintaining order in the camp, if one was hacked to death before the legionnaires arrived, even if the legionnaires would hang the crazy soldiers, one's life would not be revived.

Sherik, the former captain of the No. 3 Fortress Guard of the border city, was also incorporated into the team after being assigned to Roland by Locke.

He is not even afraid of ordinary residents, let alone him who has been following the army from Fortress No. 3 to this time.

After a quick glance, he no longer paid attention to the situation in Chahar, but turned his attention to the camp that was being expanded rapidly.

Due to the greenskins' special ability to plunder vitality and the fact that their vitality cannot grow normally, the greenskins' expansion depends on plundering other life forms.

Compared to wild animals, human villages have a higher density and are relatively easier to manage. Therefore, warlords will not wipe out all human villages in their territory. Instead, they will leave some towns and villages as breeding farms and collect blood taxes regularly.

However, since the Green Tide still has a large number of living things for them to plunder, most greenskin warlords are still more keen on war, holding the idea that plunder is better than breeding.

In the previous life, the concept of Green Tide continued until they swallowed the entire Donnar and lost the direction of plundering. Only then did the number of farms grow rapidly and the breeding technology become more mature.

However, the warlord's territory that Roland attacked was somewhat different.

Compared to the warlord territories that Locke's rebels had attacked before, this warlord territory that was once controlled by the greenskin high priest was where Roland found a large number of villages and towns that were being held captive and exploited when he came.

Although the population of these villages and towns is limited due to regular harvesting by the greenskin high priest, the towns have been destroyed countless times and are in a mess, with no value for reuse at all.

The only advantage is that in order to make these people more energetic, the greenskin high priest will throw food or the corpses of hunted wild animals to them, and will only hunt them when their vitality reaches the maximum.

Therefore, their population did not decline due to famine, nor did anything else happen that Roland did not want to see.

In addition, for the sake of profit, the elderly with declining vitality disappeared, leaving only young children and middle-aged people to live under the threat of death.

Roland was prepared for this and quickly sent people to rescue them.

After all, some refugees who had fled from the east to the territory had escaped from farms like this one. Therefore, Roland was aware of and prepared for the fact that there were still people alive here. After being rescued, most of these refugees were sent to the nearest newly built camps and became the first or second batch of residents in each camp.

The camp at Sherik's feet is a similar situation.

Moreover, since the location of this camp is relatively important, according to the new order from above, this camp is being built into a big city, and the name has been decided in advance.

Since the camp is built next to the Ghana River, the newly built city will inherit the name of the city that has been destroyed by the green tide, Ghana.

Sherik followed the west side of the camp and saw a long, wide, clear river that separated the two banks. This was the Ghana River.

It once flowed through more than a dozen knight kingdoms and was regarded as the mother river by them.

Previously, the Ghana River was an important line of defense against the green tide.

The reason why Locke's rebels were able to withstand the impact of the green tide like Eleanor's coalition forces in the south was largely due to their reliance on this river.

However, before Eleanor was defeated by Kan'ozu, the Locke rebels had already been penetrated by the river defense line by the powerful green tide.

If the Green Tide had not suddenly stopped after Kan'ozu defeated Eleanor, the Locke rebels might have been killed by the Green Tide long ago.

Sherik recalled the Battle of Ghana and felt a little emotional.

After the defeat, Sherik thought he would never see this clear and beautiful river again.

Although it was somewhat different from what Sherik had seen before, a long, ugly stone bridge spanned the river, adding a stain to the beautiful river.

But Sherik didn't care. Everything had to give way to the war on the front line. It was just a bridge, it didn't matter.

Compared to Donnar's knights who only know how to fight and kill, Roland's spellcasters are also being trained in the direction of legion mages and battle mages, but shaping is still the basis of spellcasters after all.

Therefore, with the subsequent efforts of a large number of spellcasters, this ugly but practical stone bridge was built by the spellcasters.

Compared with transporting by ship, transporting on a bridge is naturally much faster.

As the only stone bridge connecting the two sides of the Ghana River, almost all personnel and supplies transported from the other side have to pass through the Ghana camp.

Therefore, Ghana City became an important logistics base and transportation point, and its development and construction were the fastest among the newly built cities.

While other newly built cities are still small camps and villages, the Ghana camp already has the rudiments of a small town.

Moreover, as the city closest to the front line, many troops active on the front line choose to come to Ghana City whether for rest or to replenish logistical supplies, which also makes Ghana City more prosperous.

　Every time I open the Author Assistant, I get scared when I see new comments, and feel uneasy when there are no new comments.

　　Oh, it feels so uncomfortable.
