Alien Arms Empire.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, another shell landed in the urban area of ​​the mirage. The 155mm caliber howitzer's power was terrifying, and it was even more devastating when it fell into the houses of the mirage.

The few houses that were left staggered and collapsed in the explosion, and another house became ruins.Because it is made of wood, the broken structure didn't even raise much dust.

The pattering rain in the sky is also a reason. Autumn is coming to an end, and the air here is filled with cold.

Because of the bad weather, the orc's air force was not dispatched, and the Tang Empire's air force did not embarrass the civilians of Mirage Kingdom in such weather.

However, because the battle line was approaching, the orc artillery did not rest. They fired aimlessly and attacked the goblin city wantonly.

Rarely, the goblin's artillery fired back, because they didn't have to worry about Stukas in such weather, and they didn't have to worry about those ground-licking specialist Il attack aircraft with rockets hanging on them.

It's a pity that because the shells are really limited and they don't want to waste them, this kind of symbolic counterattack is no different from the panting when they are raped by life.

Compared with the caliber, Mirage's 200mm caliber cannon even has a slight advantage, but the ridiculous loading speed of that outdated artillery really can't compare with the 155mm caliber howitzer assisted by the Datang Group in the hands of the orcs. on a par.

You know, to load a 200mm shell, it takes four goblin loaders to grab a shell with calipers, and then with a fifth person, they work together to push the shell into the barrel before loading the propellant ...

It takes a few minutes for a similar complex coordination to fire a shell in actual combat, and with the fact that such artillery is rare, one can imagine the strength of the counterattack.

As for the artillery of other calibers in the mirage...the number of 150mm heavy artillery is also small, and the range is not enough, it is impossible to engage with the orcs' 155mm heavy artillery; although there are many 100mm and 105mm artillery, their range It's even closer.

In fact, the goblin troops like the 100-gun and the 75-gun the most. These small and medium-caliber artillery shells are fully loaded, and the rate of fire is relatively fast. When loading, one or two goblins can barely hold a shell to reload. Save a lot of manpower.

But this kind of artillery is really unable to compete with the opponent's large-caliber artillery. This is a natural disadvantage of the goblin army, and it cannot be eliminated for a while.

It's as if they have their own advantages in tight spaces: if you actually gave them the Mozi's tank, they might really enjoy it.

"Boom!" Another shell landed in the city, and a huge crater suddenly appeared on the street. The shell directly dug through the ground and broke the sewer pipes inside.In the drizzle, sewage gushed out, and the stench could not be covered even by the rain.

It seems that the orc troops didn't intend to attack directly, they just kept firing, making the goblin civilians living in Mirage miserable.

They really can't leave, they have lived here all their lives, and everything about them is here, how can they leave?What's more, Mirage is not allowed to leave the city without authorization. If it is really caught by the troops, it will really be over.

The men were caught and sent directly to the army as soldiers, and the women were directly rewarded to the officers and soldiers in the army after being caught... This kind of thing happened every day, so that the whole mirage was filled with a sense of terror. Share resentment.

The light rain and dark clouds did not affect the artillery positions of the orc troops, and even their little days were quite comfortable.Supplies were continuously brought in from behind, and because of Dingcheng as a barrier, the mirage army in the central mountainous area could not threaten their supply lines.

In a very huge tent, Shan Lu was drinking tea with the elders of his tribe.Frankly speaking, he didn't have the qualifications in the past, but now...his status is actually higher than this elder.

This is the reality: to be cared for by humans, and to get materials and supplies from humans, that is Grandpa, a leader that no one can ignore.

Even during the war, the life of the orcs on this island is much better than that in the desert.They are praying every day, praying that everything here is not their dream.

"You are turning a city into ruins." Every time the elder thought of the Dingcheng he saw, he felt pain in his flesh: those houses that no orcs had ever lived in were simply razed to the ground.

Shanlu said sorry, but he didn't mean sorry at all: "Sorry, we don't have time to clean up those dilapidated houses. Destroying them during the war seems to be much easier than demolition."

The elder remembered that the ruins of Dingcheng made it difficult for the No. 4 tank of the orcs, and planned to persuade Shanlu from a military point of view to change a tactic to attack Mirage: "But when the troops attack, they will encounter obstacles, and the tanks cannot pass through these damned places. Ruins, we already knew the dangers of doing so when we settled the city."

It's a pity that Shanlu didn't think so. He spread his hands and said a fact that the orc elders couldn't refute: "In fact, it doesn't matter. Do you think the mirage people will hand over the mirage to us intact? Or Say, are you going to raise these...goblins living in Mirage in the future?"

"...You are right, we will not live together with these goblins, and we have no obligation to use our land to raise these dwarves." The orc elder is highly consistent with Shan Lu on this matter.

It is impossible for the orcs to leave a group of damned goblins on the precious island to divide their resources, and there is no possibility of the two races mixing together.

Shanlu said another aspect that the orc elders didn't expect: "In fact, it is necessary to demolish all the buildings. The houses of the goblins are too low. Those small shacks that are only 1 meters high, and those We cannot live in a house with a height of 9 meters... This point has been repeatedly confirmed in Dingcheng."

Goblin buildings are too low to meet the living standards of humans and orcs.Even if they lived in shacks and slept in tents in the Great Tang Empire, they had never encountered such a depressing roof...

"That's right, on the entire island, there are probably only a few buildings that are worth preserving..." the orc elder nodded and said.

He has been studying all over the island recently and has learned a lot.People are always growing. Those who were originally in high positions actually have a stronger ability to learn.

The buildings mentioned by the orc elders are actually the embassies of the Poplar Empire of the Tang Empire and the Empire of the Great Qin in the Mirage Kingdom.

Having said that, it's Shanlu's turn to show off his role.He spoke proudly, and said to the orc elders who he didn't even have the right to meet when he was in the Beastman Empire: "I have already confirmed with Master Lu Qianshan that we don't have to take care of the embassy of the Tang Empire... people have already gone to the building empty."

At this time, he was emphasizing his status, so he deliberately said a few more words, emphasizing his relationship with Master Lu Qianshan: "Master Lu also promised that he will find a way to help us with Qin and Yangmu Empire. Contact so we don't have to worry about buildings that might cause disputes."

In fact, Lu Qianshan's status in the Tang Empire's navy is just that. There are also the commander-in-chief and chief of staff of the navy, and there are a lot of fleet commanders and squadron commanders at the same level as him...

The orc elder was really scared. He has long been used to the general Shanlu's pretentiousness: "This is good news. It proves that the Tang Empire is still very willing to help us! This will make it easier for us to deal with the remnants of the war in the future." The problem."

"In order to reduce the logistical pressure of the war, Tang's military advisory group suggested that we should not carry out the cleansing of goblin civilians for the time being. They are worried that this will cause chaos and increase the difficulty of our war." Shan Lu continued to add.

Hearing what he said, the orc elders agreed: "They are right. In order to make them as honest as possible, we should not oppress them too much. After the war is won, they are lambs to be slaughtered, and we can Dispose of it at will."

Speaking of this, Shanlu remembered the telegram sent to him by His Highness the Imperial Concubine far away in the Tang Empire: "As for the Tang Empire, Her Highness Le'er hopes that we will maintain proper civilization and humanity while fighting for interests. She thinks we should Follow the example of the Tang Empire and draw up a migration plan instead of... massacre."

This was instructed by Tang Mo. He didn't want to portray himself and the orcs related to him as devils who love to kill in the international public opinion. This is not in line with the international image of the Tang Empire.In fact, the Tang Empire planned to throw all the goblins on the three southern islands to the North Island after the war ended. This seems to be a relatively "civilized" solution.

Of course, how many goblins will be displaced during the actual operation, and how many goblins will die on the way, are not things that the civilized Tang Empire needs to consider.

But even so, the orc elder still felt pain: "His Royal Highness Le'er is too kind, her proposal will increase the cost of dealing with these goblin pariah hundreds of times. For the Tang Empire, that is a small amount of money." , but for us orcs, that is a huge sum of money that we cannot afford."

"Elder, His Royal Highness Le'er's opinion..." Shan Lu was very sensitive on such matters, so he directly reminded him.

Of course the orc elder wasn't crazy, he coughed, and firmly followed His Royal Highness's wish: "I'm just complaining, we must comply with His Royal Highness's request... But we can find a chance to deal with some of it first... This way we can save money. A lot of money."
