Chapter 301 New Plan

In the old days of Qi, the population under Roland's rule was insufficient, so he had no choice when he wanted to increase his military strength. However, now that Roland was in charge of the entire war committee, he was qualified to be picky.

In addition, in the old Qi era, the army's consumption was not great, and Roland could afford it by himself if he gritted his teeth. But now it is different. With the skyrocketing consumption of the War Committee's military, Roland cannot afford it alone, and the War Committee must support it itself.

In the past, when the old Qi was in power, the army's food and weapons and equipment could still be met by the old Qi. Roland only needed to spend some money and resources to upgrade the soldiers.

But now it is different. The army-wide extraordinary plan, the Fountain of Life expansion project, the elite military extraordinary training plan, the spellcaster legion training plan, the combat machine legion construction plan, and the Primarch legion training plan, each of these requires huge resources to support.

Moreover, in addition to the investment in soldiers and the consumption of various programs, various military wonders were designed and produced and widely used in the army.

The executive committee members and the military, who saw the potential of these military wonders, also maintained a comprehensive armament reform, preparing to apply military wonders to all aspects of military warfare.

For the losers in the Green Tide War, the traditional old-fashioned way of warfare has been proven to be no match for the Green Tide, so they are all quite radical military reformers.

Roland naturally supported this, or rather, he was the leader of this plan. After all, it was Roland who came up with the design drawings of the military wonder.

Although the dwarves have made in-depth research on the technology of strange machines, they are unable to form a mechanized army due to insufficient resources.

Their first experimental army of strange machines would not appear until they had gained a foothold in the new world.

Therefore, in this era, no one knows more about mechanization of the army than Roland, not even the dwarves.

Although the resources of the War Committee tend to be tilted towards the military, no matter how much the resources are tilted, they are still limited.

After supporting so many big plans, the War Committee really does not have more resources to support large-scale military expansion, so this time the recruitment can only be screened based on the quality of the soldiers.

After layers of screening, the places for new recruits were confirmed.

On September 10th, after ten days of uninterrupted recruitment activities, the first batch of recruits were confirmed. Led by the soldiers from the recruitment office, the recruits walked out of the recruitment office and walked along the stone road to the recruit camp in a mighty procession.

Among all the recruits on the way to the War Committee, Gavin, the son of a local noble, changed into the uniform given to the recruits. He clenched a metal coin in his right hand and followed the recruits beside him along the cobblestone road.

While the recruitment activities in various places were going smoothly, Roland was not idle either.

As the War Council got on track, the rule in various places was gradually consolidated, and the military, which had completed the military reorganization, had enough strength to launch a new round of counterattacks against the Green Tide.

And according to the public combat readiness plan, it is almost time to take action. Committee members from all over the country have begun to urge a counterattack against the green tide.

Although according to the war preparedness plan within the Executive Committee, the real target of their war committee is not these greenskin warlords. After all, the core of the greenskin orcs is Kan'ozu.

As long as they don't get rid of Kanaozu, it will be useless for them to counterattack the Green Tide and recapture several warlords' territories. At that time, as long as Kanaozu takes action, the lost territories will have to be given back.

Therefore, in the real war preparedness plan, all preparations made by the War Committee were to kill Kan Ozu.

Including the subsequent counterattack plan against the Green Tide, the counterattack plan on the surface is similar to the rebels' annual attack plan on the warlord territories.

However, in fact, the real purpose of the counterattack plan was to prepare for the subsequent killing of Kanaozu.

In order to increase the success rate of killing Kan'ozu, Roland needed a place suitable for setting up the spell formation.

The current territories of the War Council are not suitable for setting up magic formations. The large population and the buildings that have sprung up everywhere do not support Roland in setting up large magic formations.

Moreover, the battlefield where the legend Kan'ozu was fought would surely be reduced to ruins.

Therefore, it would be better to recapture a piece of suitable land from the greenskin warlords. Roland can then arrange it however he wants.

In addition, in order to separate Kan'aozu from the green tide, the War Committee needs to push forward the battlefield set by Roland and build a line of defense against the green tide.

Therefore, after discussion, the Executive Committee also confirmed the ultimate goal of this counterattack plan, which is to recapture the northern wall.

This is an extraordinary defense line that was once built by the Central Kingdom based on the favorable terrain. It was mainly used to resist the once rampant beast tide in the north. Before humans occupied Donnar and became the masters of this area, there were countless groups of beasts occupying various parts of Donnar.

After humans emerged from the beasts, the settled and expanding humans gradually became the main targets of attack by the beasts.

The northern wall is one of the important defense lines built in the environment of being surrounded by beasts.

Even after humans expanded westwards into West Nalan and the beast tide gradually died out, this extraordinary defense line did not fall into disuse. As the only way between the northern and western regions of East Nalan, this defense line also became the most prosperous commercial hub.

Therefore, even after the Central Kingdom split, this line of defense was divided and controlled by three different knight kingdoms. In order to ensure commercial interests, the three knight kingdoms have always maintained basic maintenance of the line of defense.

Moreover, because of the green tide, the three knight kingdoms urgently renovated and upgraded the northern defense line, although the upgraded northern defense line still could not stop the green tide.

However, just because they couldn't stop it didn't mean Roland couldn't stop it after taking control. If there were enough funds and materials, Roland could think of a way to improve the defenses of the northern line and stop the green tide.

If we lure Kanaozu into the defense line and then activate it to stop the green tide, the pressure of besieging and killing Kanaozu will be much less. The only problem is that we don't know how much sacrifice we have to make to stop the crazy green tide.

However, no matter what, it is better than having no defense at all.

Moreover, there are many benefits to retaking the northern wall. With a defense line, the coalition forces can not only reduce the pressure of defense, but also retake a large amount of arable land, effectively accommodating the current over-density of the War Council's population, expanding agricultural production, and obtaining more food.

So, no matter how you think about it, the northern wall became the best target for the green tide's counterattack.

After setting the goal of the counterattack, the War Committee began to prepare for this operation.

This time, the War Council has a big appetite. If they want to recapture the entire northern wall and eliminate all the greenskin warlords within it, the War Council must destroy at least five greenskin warlords.

Moreover, the dead zones on the front lines also need to be dealt with in advance to slow down the continuous exploitation of the dead zones and allow them to recover autonomously. At the same time, spellcasters and materials should be mobilized to build marching roads that can avoid the dead zones.

The death zone attacks indiscriminately. Soldiers who walk up to it will have their vitality drained away. If you don't prepare and deal with it in advance, it would be bad if your own soldiers were killed.

In addition, as officials from all over the country made efforts, large amounts of food and supplies were quickly concentrated to the front line through the route network established by the committee.

The Wood Apostles of the Botanical Research Institute took on almost all the logistical work related to food supply. They drove the magical plants they created to transport food to the front line in a steady stream.

Compared with ordinary workers, the cost of transportation using magical plants is undoubtedly much lower. As long as the magical plants find an open space to take root during the day and bask in the sun, they can restore their strength. At night, they can travel all night.

Moreover, if the transportation is urgent, you can also ask the magical plants for help and let them travel day and night for ten consecutive days, and the cost is not high.

If you have enough time, just find a piece of land and leave them there and let them recover on their own for a few days.

In addition to magical plants, the hardworking undead also took on the logistical work.

Although the undead are not as suitable as magical plants for escorting food supplies, they are much more suitable than magical plants for war materials such as weapons and equipment.

Therefore, a large number of undead were brought out from mines in various places by the Committee to be responsible for logistical transportation.

Although the undead do not have magical plants that are easier for ordinary people to accept, they need to be disguised, but compared with human transportation, the cost of disguise is within the acceptable range of the committee. Moreover, the undead are transporting important war materials, so the committee can also block the roads used by the undead on the grounds of military secrets and prohibit ordinary people from approaching.

In short, the widespread use of magical plants and the undead has greatly alleviated the logistical pressure of the War Committee and the problem of insufficient logistics personnel.

After the logistical supplies were mobilized to the front line, the Executive Committee also began to mobilize the army.

Ten regular legions and nine primarch legions, totaling nearly 200,000 soldiers, were transferred to the front line.

This is a powerful army that is fully extraordinary and partially mechanized, with a large number of first-ring and second-ring soldiers, nearly ten thousand primarch soldiers and more than a dozen mid-level extraordinary people.

It is definitely more than enough to be responsible for the preliminary offensive before a full-scale counterattack.

In the military aspect.

After the reorganization, the 24 soldiers of the War Council were divided into 9 regular legions and primarch legions according to the military system.

The number of regular legions is around 10,000 to 20,000, while the number of primarch legions currently remains at around 1,000.

According to the military system, each legion had a commander and two deputy commanders. Then, according to the number of soldiers, thousand households were set up. Each thousand household was divided into hundred households, and each hundred household was divided into ten households.

Of course, these legions are only the current number of legions in the committee.

According to the military expansion plan set by the committee, the military will add about 6 more regular corps in the future, and the final size of all regular corps will be maintained at around .

The Primarch Legions will continue to expand, and according to the plan, the number of each Primarch Legion will eventually be maintained at around 5,000.

Ultimately, the War Council would maintain a standing army of about 700,000 men.

As for the committee's huge local city defense forces and militia, these unconventional forces are not included in the statistics of the military's regular army.

The committee is not a local faction within the resistance army. When counting troops, even the city defense forces and militia must be counted as part of the regular army.

Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, these 700,000 standing army members will most likely leave a mark of life and have the ability to revive from the fountain of life. Therefore, even if the number of soldiers does not change in the future, the comprehensive strength of the standing army will become stronger and stronger.

While the army was being mobilized, Roland and Hela also came to the frontier border between the War Council and the Greenskin Warlords.

In order to completely prevent the green orcs from crossing the dead land and rushing to the committee, the area of ​​the dead land not only covers the entire border line, but also is very large.

If low-level extraordinary people run from the death zone to the green tide without any preparation, many of them will die. Only mid-level extraordinary people who have completed the sublimation of the body can break through the death zone.

As for the intermediate-level extraordinary person with sublimated soul, if he knows many spells, he may be able to pass through the death zone. If he does not know the spells to fight against the death zone, he may also die in the death zone.

Of course, if you don’t have the strength, there are other ways to get through the dead zone, such as flying at high altitude.

As for the green-skinned orcs, there is no need to even mention them. As tools created by Kan'ozu, there is no possibility for them to be sublimated. Even if they have mid-level or even high-level combat power, they will definitely not be able to defeat normal, sublimated transcendents in a war of attrition.

Just like the nine primarchs created by Roland, although they have the combat power of five rings, they are similar to these mid-level green-skinned orcs. Their burst is okay, but once they are caught in a war of attrition, they will most likely be exhausted to death by the sublimated four-ring transcendents.

After all, whether it is the sublimation of the body or the sublimation of the soul, normal mid-level transcendents have already gone beyond the scope of ordinary people.

The extraordinary core of physical sublimation can support a four-ring knight in high-intensity fighting for ten days to half a month without food or water.

The soul sea of ​​sublimation can support a fourth-ring spellcaster. Although he cannot go without food and water like a fourth-ring knight and cast spells at a high intensity for ten days or half a month, he can still do it for six or seven days.

However, for the green-skinned orcs and primarchs, although they have mid-to-high-level combat power, their unsublimated bodies and souls cannot support them in high-intensity warfare of attrition.

Their essence is still that of low-level transcendents.

However, the situation of the green-skinned orcs and the primarch is different.

The green-skinned orcs were created by Kan'ozu. Although they have the advantages of low cost, rapid reproduction and rapid development, the price paid for these advantages is unacceptable to any intelligent race, and that is the loss of the future.

Since their birth, the green-skinned orcs have forever lost the possibility of sublimation. Their limits are the limits set for them by Kan'ozu. In addition to losing the possibility of advancing on the extraordinary path, their other possibilities have also been wiped out.

Their shrunken brains are filled with the contents designed by Kan'ozu, making it difficult for them to develop any scientific and technological technology, although the greenskin priests are relatively smarter and there is a possibility of developing technology.

However, their short lifespan cannot support their development. The average lifespan of a greenskin orc is less than one year. Even if they grow up to become greenskin warlords, their natural lifespan is less than ten years. Moreover, most greenskin warlords do not live to see death from old age.

Once they become old and weak, new green orcs will kill him and become the new greenskin warlord.

Therefore, after the green-skinned orcs were created by Kan'ozu, they were destined to be a tragedy.

Unlike the green-skinned orcs, the Primarch Surgery, as the optimal solution tested by countless players, naturally does not have so many shortcomings.

The original body surgery is mainly more expensive than other evil quick methods, but its safety and stability can be guaranteed. The most that can happen is that the life span will be shortened because the core of the body is eroded.

According to Roland's examination, the Primarchs who were eroded by the original core had a lifespan twenty years shorter than ordinary people, while the Primarch soldiers who were eroded by the derivative core had a lifespan five years shorter.

Moreover, this loss of lifespan is not irreversible, as long as one is promoted to the fourth ring and completes any sublimation, all the sequelae of the original surgery can be erased.

If they really cannot be promoted, Roland can also use other means to solve their lifespan problem.

As a wizard who masters countless spells, Roland has plenty of ways to prolong his life.

In short, although the number of Primarch soldiers is smaller than that of the Green-skinned Orcs, their future is undoubtedly bright. Unlike the Green-skinned Orcs, their birth is destined to a dark future.

Roland and Hela stood on a small hill, silently looking at the almost endless dead land in front of them.

On the dead ground before us, a large number of spellcasters were working on it.

A large number of undead creatures were carrying all kinds of materials without any cover, and the spellcasters used the materials carried by the undead to build a wide road on the dead land and set up magic circles on the road to isolate the influence of the dead land.

After checking this last road, Roland and Hela left the hill quietly without disturbing the normal work of the spellcasters.

Although I thought about bypassing the front-line surveillance of the death zone.

However, since the news that the War Council was going to declare war on the Green Tide had already spread throughout the entire front line, all the sentry towers on the current Death Front line had stepped up surveillance.

The entire dead zone was within the surveillance range of the front-line sentry tower, so Roland and Hela went around several times but could not find any loopholes.

In desperation, Roland and Hela could only choose to fly over the surveillance of the sentry tower from high altitude, pass through the dead zone, and rush towards the territory of the greenskin warlord.

Although the next strategic plan had been decided, Roland still had to find a suitable place to set up the magic circle in advance. At the same time, he also had to take a look at the northern wall and think about how to build it. He had to prepare the materials in advance to avoid wasting time to transfer the materials when the battle came.
