Chapter 29: The First Battle of the Seven Rivers Plain (1)
Plains of the Seven Rivers.
The Seven Rivers Plain is the "Continent of China." On the fourth largest plain.
Oh, this "Shenzhou Continent." It is the name of the local Han people for the continent where it is located, and according to the elves, it is called "Sumu Sedil", which means "land of glory". "According to the name of the native indigenous creatures, it is "Yasen Continent" which means "Shining Continent".
For his own convenience, Su Xue decided to follow the habits of the local Han people and call this place "Shenzhou Continent".
The Seven Rivers Plain, located between the Han Empire and the Elven Empire, is close to the maple leaf shape, spanning about Choukou kilometers from east to west, and about kilometers from north to south. The total area is about 3 force square kilometers.
This was originally located in the Han Empire and the Elven Empire. and the junction of the Emilica Empire, a local indigenous state, and is a three-way region. But since the alliance formed by the Great Han and the Elves ten years ago broke up the coalition forces of several local indigenous countries, this piece of the Seven Rivers Plain was naturally taken into its own pocket by the victorious Han Empire and the Elven Empire.
Since 10 years ago, it has been the sphere of influence of both countries. Although the plain is large, the land is not fertile and mineral resources are not very rich. Therefore, the bigwigs of the two countries are a little uninterested in the prospects here.
One of the biggest reasons is that there are a large number of barbarian races on this plain, and for the two countries, these barbarian races are really a great threat. Add to that the fact that both countries have large spheres of influence, and there are many other territories to be explored, and the conditions in those places are much better than here.
Therefore, this big and unworthy land is not the highest priority in the plans of the bigwigs. It's just a piece of "chicken ribs."
However, this "chicken rib" is still somewhat useful, at least to connect the northern regions of the two countries. Originally, the two countries of the Han and the Elves were only in the south by the sea, and there was a little territorial border. If you pass through this plain, the communication between the northern regions of the two countries will be much more convenient than before, and the distance can be greatly saved.
Five years ago, many engineers proposed to build a highway connecting the Han Empire and the Elven Empire on the Seven Rivers Plain, and at the same time build a railway.
Uh, you read that right, it's "railroad." In this world, there are also railways that are about the same size as the earth, and there are also trains. Of course, the name is different, and the railway here is called "track." And the train is called a "rail car."
On the way Su Xue and them came to the border, there was a part of the journey that they took on this kind of "otherworldly train."
However, the premise of road construction is to ensure the safety of engineering personnel and the road is not damaged. Until those savage races and beasts are cleaned up, this premise is obviously not satisfied.
Road construction is an important reason why the two countries have jointly carried out the "appeasement behavior" here. Of course, there is another reason, which is to ensure the safety of business travelers passing through here. Although the road is still on the map, there are already many caravans passing here, especially those in the northern region. After all, it is better to walk here than to take a detour from the south. Save at least a few thousand kilometers of travel.
Of course. These are not Su Ze's concerns, he is holding back the fire now. It's not just because of the heat.
"Hey, Pei De, haven't you found those greenskins yet?" asked Su Ze very unhappily.
"Not yet. Damn it! The scouts who took the Jingdu Governor's Mansion were all rice buckets! What kind of broken maps were given to us? Not at all!" Pei De also gritted his teeth:
Three days!
According to the map provided by the Governor's Office, Su Ze came to this place where it is said that there is, "Green Piyi." The tribe's small basin has been around for three whole days now! But they have searched the surrounding area for dozens of miles, not to mention the "green-skinned yi," and they have not even seen a green-skinned mouse.
Uh, though didn't find that "Greenskin." tribe, but the unexpected harvest is quite a few. Like what. Yesterday in the southern bushes, they found a group of bears called "milk bears." of rare animals.
This "milk bear" is a very small bear. Adults are only the size of dogs, and they are similar in appearance to the bears on the planet, and they are very cute. And they are docile and intelligent, especially suitable for pets, especially loved by wealthy ladies. On the market, a milk bear can buy at least 24 gold and five plants. If it is a female bear or a cub, the price is more than double.
The group of milk bears they caught had a lead, and according to Rusya's estimate, it was worth at least five gold plants. Even if it is evenly divided, everyone can get a golden five. This is a lot of money! You know, according to the current price level, Jin Gejin Wuzhu can already buy a three-story villa. A "Antelope" used by the cavalry of the Elven Empire. "It's not even a golden strain.
This windfall, for Su Ze to receive a penalty for the "Little Gomi team." For most of the members, it's a good start to the celebration!
But for captain Su Ze and vice-captain Pei De, this is nothing at all. Both of these are not short of this little money, their purpose is to earn points and earn knighthoods, not to make money.
For them, the biggest problem is that they can't always find a purpose, so what's the use of this little money? "Brother Qiude, don't worry" Tang Mengmeng was playing with a little milk bear. Seeing the ugly faces of the two captains, she smiled. "If we can't find the Green Piyi today, let's go to the upper reaches of the Sangpai River, there must be a tribe of tooth barbarians there,"
Pei De was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Miss Mengmeng, is it really? How do you know?" A map scroll was taken out of the bag.
"You see, there's a red triangle here, and that's where the Tooth Barbarian tribe is located." She pointed to the map and introduced: "This map was left by my uncle, half a year ago, when his caravan was passing through the Sangpai River, it encountered the attack of this group of tooth barbarians, and it was not easy to repel these guys. For the sake of safety in the future, my uncle marked the places where they were in danger on the map, "We also got a share at home, and when I came out this time, my father copied a copy for me."
Su Ze took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was so.
This map, though, on the whole, is inferior to the one provided by the military. But the description of some details is much better. It's not that the military is incompetent, it's mainly that there is too little attention at the front, so it can't come up with a better map for a while. But these businessmen are different, whether the map here is accurate or not, but it is directly related to the safety of their lives and property, and it is naturally 120,000 points of attention. The results obtained are naturally different depending on the outlet.
Su Ze patted the map and smiled: "Hehe, Pei De." With this map, our mission will be much smoother! This tribe of the Tooth Barbarians is less than four miles away from us. If we can't find those greenskins today, we'll go down here, "What do you think?"
Pei De nodded again and again: "Well, I have no opinion."
Anyway, the main purpose of this operation is to clean up the barbarians, and there is no stipulation that it must be a greenskin. And the points of the Tooth Barbarian are three times higher than those of the Green Piyi, hehe" After the other team members come back, we will discuss it again, and I don't think they will refuse
"It's all toot, toot, toot. Suddenly, a metal box on Peder's car rang out.
"There's a situation!"
Pei De ran over with a happy face and tinkered with the metal box a few times. A sound of surprise immediately sounded from inside.
"Brother Pei De, we are here! We are now in the green skin! The location is 7 points in North Wei, 6 points in West Longitude, next to a small lake, "It looks like they just moved here", there are about a number of adult soldiers, you can come here"
This voice sounded familiar, and it should be Peide's thin cousin named Ufar. This guy's melee ability is not very good, but the degree is top-notch, and he is good at stealth and stealth, and he also uses ranged weapons well, making him a good material for scouts. At present, he is mainly responsible for the investigation work of the "Remnant Light Team".
Pedder said to the metal box, "Great! Ufar, you've done a great job! You continue to keep an eye there, and we'll gather at once, and we'll be here soon." You have to be safe!"
As he spoke, he continued to fiddle with the box. Give a few other search groups a collection message.
For this kind of phone called "speaker." of the otherworldly" radio station. "So far, Su Ze hasn't figured out how it works. The day before yesterday, Peide also opened it to check, and there were only a few crystals and some geometric metal blocks in it, and there was not a single circuit in sight. But it is undeniable that it is indeed very convenient to have this thing, and Su Xue does not need to take the risk and use the earth's radio station.
According to Peide, this "megaphone. The communication distance can reach jin kilometers. This is the "switchboard" in his car, and there are also ten "sound transmission boxes" equivalent to extensions. The maximum communication distance between them is about o kilometers, and it will be transferred through the switchboard no further.
However, this kind of thing is not popular, most of them are in the military and government offices, and ordinary people can't buy them at all. This "megaphone." It took him a lot of effort to get it, just for the sake of his own family's children to earn more credit in this operation.
Su Ze couldn't help but secretly rejoice that there was this group of wealthy sons among his teammates, otherwise for the convenience of communication, Su Ze really had to take the risk of using the earth's radio. , If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the heart, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!
