Chapter 213: Time is running out

Face the Kentana barbarian.
　　 The Kentana barbarians in the mountainous areas really don’t have this confidence. They can only look at their neighbor Andeans, hoping to create a new world for their clan before the Kentana barbarians invade on a large scale.
　　 At least in their eyes, the Andeans are far easier to deal with than the Kentana barbarians.
Unexpectedly, the anomaly of the Eternal Night Army has risen in the Andes Mountains, and their main force is directly pitted in. There are only a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people in the house, that is, the Kentana barbarians have not received news. , Otherwise a large-scale invasion is imminent.
　　 During the negotiations with the Yongye Group Army, Daddy Locke was basically passive, because he really did not have a deadly threat or temptation to the Yongye Group Army.
　　 It is a wishful thinking that the dry cliff clan and the Yongye Group will always be in harmony with each other, and they want the Yongye Group to release all the mountain Kentana barbarians that they have swallowed.
　　 But the most powerful thing about this old guy is his grasp of people's hearts.
　　 It is assumed that Zhun Yongye Group Army wants to plot the soldiers of the Cliff Clan, and dare not do anything to him.
　　 The position of Daddy Locke in the Cliff Clan is just like that of Sean in the Yongye Group Army. Whoever dares to hurt Sean is absolutely endless.
　　Eternal Night Army as long as they have thoughts about the mountain Kentana barbarian warriors, they can't touch Old Rock with a finger.
　　 Old Daddy Locke makes Sean feel that the difference is that he learns by himself without a teacher and has the essence of the exchange of benefits.
　　 played for a while and threw his true bottom line.
　　Eternal Night Army releases the soldiers of the Cliff Clan.
　　 In addition to the empty promise of the Cliff Clan and the Yongye Group Army forever to be together, they also exchanged a large number of Andeans and mixed races of the two races.
　　 These Andeans and biracial people, except for the remnants of Andes Dongluan, are more of the result of the war between the two sides in the past 100 years.
　　 The gap in the east of the Andes Inland Lake is a natural passage connecting the east and the west, but it is not the only passage.
　　 The terrain of the Andes Ring Mountain Range is relatively precipitous, but it is not so dangerous. At most, it is not suitable for large-scale use of troops. Small shares of dozens of people are infiltrated, and there is no problem.
　　 Large-scale incursions by barbarians like the previous mountain Kentana are rare, and small-scale looting and harassment are not uncommon. Otherwise, how did the hybrids in the Skull Smasher come from?
　　 There is no doubt that these Andeans and mixed races have not been very good on the side of the Kentana Barbarians in the mountain, and they can be traded as goods.
　　 This is not a family fault. Most races have this virtue. For those mixed-race children born out of war, they don’t treat them much. They are regarded as ominous people who should not be born.
　　 Don't think that the Andean people are so good. The situation of the mixed blood of McGee the Skullcrusher has changed after the establishment of the Evernight Army.
　　 Before this, they were also not treated by the Andes people, and gradually evolved into the lower water villages where the mixed races gathered. For these years, they have been drifting away from the old forces in the Andes Mountains outside the three holes and eight villages.
　　 The reputation of McGee the Skullcrusher, but he led the brothers and killed them with blood.
　　At the beginning of the establishment of the Evernight Legion, the Skullcrusher McGee led the Skullcrusher Legion to have more powerful combat effectiveness, why are they still willing to serve as the general of Sean, a little kid.
　　, of course, there are elements of the skullcrusher McGee Dazhi Ruoyu, and there are concerns about his identity as a hybrid.
　　 If he were the general, his appeal would be much lower.
　　 Although the Yongye Group Army did not fully accept the opponent's proposal, it did not completely reject it.
Instead, a compromise was made. Only two-thirds of the mountain Kentana barbarian captives were exchanged, and the remaining one-third remained in the Evernight Army as a mercenary, headed by Xiong Yale. .
　　 There are many considerations for doing this.
Even if the Yongye Group holds the Mountain Kentana barbarian in its hands, it can only be used as a strong labor for a short time. Before the cliff clan is finished, the Yongye Group does not dare to use them no matter how much they are brainwashed. .
　　 It would be different if they were replaced by those Andeans and mixed races. They didn't have a strong sense of belonging to the Cliff Clan, and they would soon be able to integrate into the Evernight Army. The Skull Smashers, which had been limited by the source of troops, would be further expanded.
　　 Compared with the mountainous Kentana barbarians who are prone to get out of control, these hybrids are more obedient and disciplined, and easier to practice and form cooperation.
　　The Legion is not much inferior to the Mountain Kentana Barbarians.
　　 At the time the Ice City counterattacked, they had already proved this with actual results.
　　The mountain Kentana barbarian mercenaries led by Xiong Yale will directly help the Evernight Army, and will also become a powerful means to threaten the Cliff Clan.
　　 There is a deeper consideration-the threat from the authentic Kentana barbarians in the Kentana Icefield.
　　 There is still the natural danger of the Andes Inland Lake. Once the Jacob River reflows, the water level of the Andes Inland Lake will drop drastically, and things can be directly connected together.
　　 Compared to a group of irrational guys, the Yongye Group Army prefers to deal with people like Daddy Locke who know how to advance and retreat.
　　 Then they will be a natural barrier between the Evernight Army and the Kentana barbarians.
　　 But this is another time-consuming thing.
　　 Not to mention those mountain Kentana barbarians have been diverted to various places by the Eternal Night Army, and it takes a lot of time and energy to regroup.
　　 Nor does it take the time taken by the Cliff Clan to transport the promised personnel and war compensation.
　　 Speaking of the Yongye Group’s own attitude, they agreed to exchange prisoners of war, but they did not promise to honor it immediately.
　　 Now that they themselves are facing a serious food crisis, they have a hole in their heads, and only at this time will they start a large number of refugees who have nothing.
　　 The exchange was completed one day earlier, and those Andeans and mixed-race children got out of the sea of ​​suffering one day earlier. The reason for this is nonsense.
　　The first thing they consider is their own stability. Only when this is guaranteed, will they consider absorbing the population to grow themselves.
　　 The two sides completed the transaction, at least the Yongye Group Army had gone through the most difficult period now, after the new grain came down.
　　Before this, the mercenaries promised by Daddy Locke have been put into use, and they have successively escorted and assembled to the northern fortress. They will directly participate in military operations on the Kogel steppe.
　　……
　　 Andes Inland Lake.
　　 is elliptical in shape, looking down from high above, like a big, irregular duck egg, wider on the east side and narrower on the west side.
　　 To the west of this big duck egg, there is a long and narrow tail.
　　 This little tail was once part of the Jacob River, a mountain that is not particularly thick, turning the east and west sides into two completely different worlds.
　　 Upstream is a huge lake that is more than 100 meters above the ground and can't be seen at a glance.
The lower reaches of 　　 is the cultivated land of the ancient river in Yimapingchuan.
　　 Standing on the edge of the lake and looking west, it seemed that he could span thousands of kilometers and see the plains of Asia Minor.
　　 It is a feeling that is difficult to express in words. In this world, people are so small, and Amelia is this feeling.
　　The beautiful natural environment also made her addicted to herself. This is a beauty that is completely different from the endless and beautiful plains of Asia Minor.
Xiao En pointed to the natural dam road at his feet, "It is not as thick as it looks. Even if it is not artificial, it may be a thousand years, maybe a hundred years, or even ten or eight years. Once the earth dragon turns over, it will Earth-shaking changes will take place here, and the huge water pressure will squeeze it down and let the Jacob River reflow."
　　 "But the uncertainty is too great. Instead of waiting for nature to make its own decision, it is better to proceed under our guidance, so as to minimize the damage and maximize our interests."
"The general's words are correct, but the general's investment in this is far less than promised, right? These people just want to smash this mountain, some wishful thinking?" Amelia stretched out her slender white fingers. Point to the camp road below.
　　 There is a camp under the Yongye Group Army under the mountain pass.
　　The scale is not small. The independent reinforced engineering corps of the Yongye Group Army is permanently stationed here. Except for the surrounding fields, their main task is to revolve around the mountains.
　　 The posture they are presenting now that they are going to pierce through the mountain is just for Amelia to see. Their real task is to make a hole under the mountain to prepare the blasting point of the Spring Thunder Plan.
　　 From the point of view of preparing the blasting site, an independent reinforced engineering corps with more than eight thousand people is enough to reflect the importance of the Yongye Group Army to this project.
　　 This independent reinforced engineering regiment, although it is the mobile unit of the Evernight Army, has the lowest frequency of mobilization. From its establishment to the present, the only time it was deployed was in the counterattack against the invasion of the mountain Kentana Barbarian Cliff Clan.
　　 The blasting of the two ice walls is their handwriting. They are not so much going to participate in the war as they are doing field tests.
　　 The result was not satisfactory.
　　 Although the two ice walls collapsed inward according to their intentions, both the speed of the collapse and the maintenance of the integrity are far from the original calculation.
　　 This, of course, caused the Yongye Group Army to obtain more prisoners of war, but from the point of view of the blaster, it was unsatisfactory.
　　 Blasting is a kind of work that strives for excellence, especially for the independent engineering corps. The pressure is even greater. They are implementing a huge plan that is related to the layout of this continent and the livelihood of millions or even tens of millions.
　　 Once the blasting is not complete, it will be embarrassing.
　　 With the current technology of the Yongye Group Army, it is difficult to conduct underwater blasting.
　　 After the re-flow of the Jacob River, the river water is not as big as imagined. The river water on the Despair Swamp is not completely falling, which will mean that the Yongye Group will have a lot less cultivated land in the future.
　　If it is possible, they can't wait to control the error to zero.
　　 Obviously, this is basically impossible. Not only is the technical problem, but the black powder produced by the Yongye Group Army is far from having such strong stability.
　　 Like other projects, Sean’s understanding of black powder is limited to its mixture of charcoal, sulfur, and fire nitrate in a certain proportion. He even knows the best ratio.
　　 There is no doubt that this is the welfare of the information explosion era. As long as they are interested, modern people can find a lot of things on the Internet.
　　 Sean was considered a pseudo-military fan in his previous life. He was always more curious. He always likes to ask questions about things he is interested in, and he is also considered a regular visitor.
　　 But knowing is one thing, and really doing it is another.
　　 The best ratio of black powder is really not difficult to mix with the help of modern chemistry.
　　 But the modern chemistry of this world is still fluttering on the curve of alchemy. When Sean first started, he had nothing on hand.
　　 Charcoal needs to be fired by yourself.
　　 Sulfur and saltpeter need to be prospected and excavated by oneself, and the sulfur and nitrate content in the ore must be explored by yourself.
　　 These all directly affect the power and stability of black powder.
　　 The power of black powder prepared by the same person with raw materials from different origins is even more different, let alone from different people.
　　 The best ratio of black powder is an unattainable benchmark placed there. No one dares to say that the black powder that he has formulated is the best ratio.
　　 As soon as the mountainous Kentana barbarian invasion and counterattack ended, they immediately withdrew back, and did not participate in the diversion of refugees from the Sishui City War.
　　 But from Amelia's point of view, this manpower is far short. There are no one hundred and eighty thousand people. It takes several years to penetrate the barriers. It is wishful thinking.
"They are just playing outposts. When necessary, we can deploy more manpower and material resources. After all, this is a long-term plan. Neither you nor us are fully prepared yet. I only hope that the lady can report to your Highness. If you truthfully convey what you have seen, I think your Highness will have his own judgment."
The king of Hades is so hard to get rid of the kid. Amelia now represents the eyes of the regent Princess Sophia. Her attitude will influence Sophia's attitude to a certain extent~EbookFREE.me~Shaun Have to deal with it carefully.
"This is natural." Amelia said with a solemn expression, "I will truthfully convey what I have seen and heard to the princess. This is my duty. Your Excellency is usually so busy with official duties, so now I will take the time to spare. Stay with me, definitely not just to see me off, right?"
　　 The fool can also hear the irony and dissatisfaction in Amelia's last sentence.
　　Since Shaun brought her back to the territory, she threw it to Ralph and ran without a trace.
　　 I just felt that the time was almost up, and I was going to personally take her to inspect the surrounding areas of Lanjiang Mountain. The news that the mountain Kentana barbarians had invaded the Walled Alliance on a large scale would directly affect the Yongye Group Army.
　　 The plan could only be shelved, and the whole army was busy going round and round to completely dry Amelia.
　　 When the related matters were dealt with and Amelia was able to visit, the whole Andes mountain began to turn green.
Xiao En’s face has long been tempered to be thicker than the city wall, and he said without realizing it: "According to the original plan, we have at least three to five years to prepare, but now the situation has changed. You only have two years, whether you make it or not. It is decided that after two years, we will start the re-flow plan at any time."
　　 "Two years? It seems that this winter, something extraordinary has happened in the mountains?" Amelia thoughtfully.
　　 As a professionally trained espionage officer, even if she guards against it, she can detect a lot of information from the details of ordinary life.
　　 This is why Sean deliberately avoided her. It is too tiring to communicate with such people. You have to consider every word of your own, because if you are not careful, you will leak the secret.
