Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1838 1839 The further south you go, the less loss you will suffer

Most places in the dwarf area have now returned to peace, with only a few bandit soldiers still dreaming of becoming the king of the mountain.

Unfortunately, the Tang Empire had too many ways to wipe out these stragglers, so they wouldn't be able to run rampant for long.

The region has generally regained public order, and new construction has begun in many places. A large number of power plants have been put into operation, and many factories have resumed production.

Many new buildings have sprung up in the city, and the chimneys emitting black smoke prove to everyone that this place is thriving.

Ironforge was the most severely damaged city after the war. The rubble was still being cleared, and many civilians still lived in refugee camps outside the city.

But they all saw hope, a new hope that was rising: Tang's equipment was delivered one after another, the furnaces outside the city were burning bricks day and night, heavy machinery was working day and night, searchlights illuminated the construction sites at night, and many civilians joined in the labor of building their new homes.

This kind of scene is not often seen, because the Tang Empire provides the refugees with minimum living security. The well-fed dwarf civilians realize that their lives are really getting better, so they begin to repay their new motherland that feeds them with practical actions.

In the past, they were hungry, cold and hopeless, but now they are well fed and well clothed, and after hearing that someone was repairing their house, they all came.

Those who helped to move bricks moved bricks, and those who helped to build walls built walls. There were women cooking next to the construction site, and there were elderly people who took the initiative to help distribute food and maintain order.

After several incidents of an old dwarf pulling his troublesome son by the ear, dragging him into a corner and kicking him, all that remained on the ruins of Ironforge was the beautiful scene of hardworking dwarves building their own home.

Unlike the dwarves who are reorganizing their armaments and rebuilding their homes, the situation in the elf area is relatively more harmonious.

The most brutal battles took place near the northern border of the elves. Most of the battles here were field battles, and the victims were villages and towns.

By the time the Tang Empire broke through the northern defenses of the elves and began to advance southward, all the coalition forces in the elves had already collapsed. Resistance had almost ceased, so most of the cities were well preserved.

There was no city like the dwarven city of Dalcas that had been repeatedly looted and destroyed. Many defeated soldiers remained restrained when passing through the elven towns. Many areas were guarded by elven troops, and the public security situation was good.

That is to say, there was a little fighting in the capital, Roslaine, but the intensity of the fighting was not even on the same level as that in Ironforge. Therefore, Roslaine has now cleared the ruins and most of the elven civilians have returned to their original homes.

From this perspective, the elves were obviously smarter: they surrendered earlier, so they were less affected by the war. With less losses, they recovered faster. Factories in many areas even resumed work directly and began to provide production services for post-war reconstruction.

The owners of those factories naturally made a fortune: this was post-war reconstruction, there was a shortage of supplies everywhere, and people were buying things everywhere... As long as you produced, no matter what you produced, you could sell it at a high price.

The elves were relatively better preserved: Elf Marshal Felix surrendered, and under his control, the elves were very cooperative. They maintained regional law and order before the Tang army arrived, and handed over the defense zone and handed over weapons after the Tang army arrived. They performed very well. As a result, the Tang army directly retained about 30 elves, provided them with new uniforms, and made these troops directly become the regular army of the Tang Empire.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about the Susas Empire. Susas I really knelt down quickly and lay the flattest.

After the Tang army paratroopers entered the northern part of the Susas Empire, Susas I contacted the Tang army to surrender. The Beiling region even opened the city gates to welcome the royal army before he decided to surrender, so these areas were not affected by the war at all.

The Tang army entered Susas, and wherever they went was like going home: local civilians even organized to line the streets to welcome them, and when they arrived at the Wolf City area, the Tang army was almost disrupted by the girls who sent them flowers.

  There is no way. The influence of the Datang Group in Beiling is terrifying. Many of the elders and villagers in Beiling have watched the imperial concubine Alice grow up. Are you kidding? The Tang army came to Wolf City, isn't that like returning to the mother's home?

The same was true for Bunas. Apart from being visited by bombers a few times, the city was handed over to the Tang Empire intact. The workers in the city had enough food and drink, and more than 70% of the factories resumed production on the day the Tang army arrived.

The dock was extremely busy, and by the time the Tang transport fleet arrived, the unloading workers almost filled the dock.

From north to south, the closer to the front line, the greater the losses. This fully illustrates the true face of war: the defeat is like a landslide, and after reaching the limit of persistence, the defeat is like a flood that cannot be stopped.

Now, the defense line that Paul has set up in Yucheng is almost the last line of defense for the only two remaining anti-Tang alliance countries on the East Continent.

Unfortunately, because this is not a proper front line and the Tang army arrived here quickly enough, there are actually not many defensive facilities around Yucheng.

Apart from some defensive facilities to the north that were previously set up against the Susas Empire, there were actually no defensive fortifications in Yucheng in the direction of Bunas.

Paul started to build a new defense system nearby only after he recaptured Yucheng, but it is easy to imagine what the defense line would look like in just a few dozen days.

In fact, the entire defense line was mainly composed of simple trenches, with some bunkers reinforced with wood set up on some relatively important high ground.

Such a line of defense is slightly inferior to the elves' northern defense line, not to mention the dwarf iron barrier that was broken through by the Tang army.

Therefore, the only thing Paul can really rely on is probably the urban area of ​​Yucheng: probably only street fighting can stop the onslaught of the Tang Empire's iron torrent.

But the problem is that Yucheng is a city, not a "pass". The city is located at a traffic node, with many mountains to the south and north... but there is still open space between it and the mountains.

Once the Tang army encircles Yucheng in the wild, the coalition forces will be in a passive situation...
