Xiao Yifeng is directing the marines to enter the ship. If nothing happens, they can leave for Asia's continent today.
At this time, an extraordinary figure suddenly entered the command room. Upon seeing this, everyone stopped what they were doing and saluted that person.
Xiao Yifeng also immediately turned around, quickly came to the man, saluted him, and shouted: "Master."
This king's master is the future Po Kong, who is now the military chairman of the Menes Empire and the actual leader of the Menes Empire.
"Come with me." Lao Pokong opened a circular space door.
Xiao Yifeng followed Lao Poukong and arrived at the top rooftop. Here, they could see the mighty army advancing toward the ship in an orderly manner.
"Yifeng, this is your first expedition, so you must be extra careful."
"I will never let Master down."
"You must pay careful attention to these 100,000 soldiers. When you get to the battlefield, you must think twice before making any decision and try to reduce casualties as much as possible."
"Don't worry, master, I will do my best. After all, I am your apprentice and I will never embarrass you."
"That's good."
On the far other side, Wangcheng battlefield.
At this time, the situation in Wangcheng was very unoptimistic, and many holes had appeared in the third city wall Maya. Although Wangcheng deployed a large number of soldiers to defend the cave, they were still successfully infiltrated by the enemy's elite troops.
This situation is similar to the battlefield in the Imperial Palace, except that the Imperial Palace has as many as 18 holes, while the number of holes in Wangcheng is only 8. Therefore, the number of enemy soldiers who can sneak into Wangcheng is very limited. According to conservative estimates, it should not exceed a thousand. But it is certain that these thousand or so soldiers are all the best among the best, and there are also many front-line generals mixed in.
Before the war, most of the civilians in the third district of Wangcheng had evacuated into the second district, but there were still millions of residents stranded in the third district.
The third district of Wangcheng is huge and has extremely developed agriculture and animal husbandry. Ninety percent of the food in Wangcheng comes from the third district. It is now the time of autumn harvest, so many civilians must be left behind to harvest food and process livestock.
Now the enemy troops have infiltrated into the third area. Although these people are not large in number, they are constantly destroying farms, massacring stranded civilians, and constantly preventing food from entering the second area.
Although Wangcheng sent a large number of soldiers to patrol, they were still unable to stop the enemy's actions.
The enemy would not confront the Wangcheng defenders head-on. They kept avoiding, harassing, and sabotaging, making the harvesting operation very difficult. The daily harvest was as much as 90% less than expected.
There are now tens of millions of people in the first and second districts of Wangcheng, and the amount of food and meat consumed every day is astronomical. The battle to defend Wangcheng has been going on for several months, and the food supply inside Wangcheng has bottomed out. If the grain cannot be harvested smoothly, the civilians in Wangcheng will face the dilemma of starvation.
At the East Gate of Wangcheng District 2, tens of thousands of people were crowded here. They were all professional farmers. They should have been harvesting grain now, but they were crowded at the door.
"Let us in quickly. We are also citizens of Wangcheng and have the right to enter."
"Yes, let us in quickly."
The farmers kept asking to enter the second area, but now is a special period, and the defenders cannot let these farmers in at all.
First of all, the enemy soldiers who have sneaked into the third area may have already disguised themselves as farmers and blended in with these people. If these people are allowed to enter the second area, they will pose a serious personal threat to the civilians in the second area.
Secondly, it is the time of autumn harvest, and a large amount of food is waiting to be harvested. If no one harvests it, the food will slowly wither. Moreover, Wangcheng requires a large amount of food. If no fresh food comes in, there may be chaos inside Wangcheng.
On the other side, in Wangcheng District 1, Cai Huadao and senior leaders are also discussing this matter.
One leader made a very reasonable but unrealistic suggestion, which was to bring back the fifth-level soldiers to cooperate with the internal defenders to protect the harvesting farmers.
Why is this suggestion reasonable but unrealistic? Because this suggestion can indeed solve the harvesting problem. If the fifth-level soldiers are brought back, it will be enough to deal with the enemy soldiers who are causing damage.
But these fifth-level soldiers are now fighting against Ao Lie's main force outside the city, and they are all under the leadership of those front-line generals.
The so-called fifth-level soldiers are experienced veterans with an average strength value of about 50. There were about 50,000 troops before the war, but now there are only about 30,000 left.
It can be said that these fifth-level soldiers are indispensable for Wangcheng's third city wall to last for so long.
If the fifth-level soldiers were allowed to return to Wangcheng, it would be impossible to stop Ao Lie's main force with new soldiers alone. Once the balance is broken, more holes will appear in the third wall of Wangcheng. At that time, all of Ao Lie's troops will rush into the third area, killing people, setting fires, robbing food and resources, and committing all kinds of evil.
Therefore, the fifth-level soldiers and the front-line generals in Wangcheng cannot come back. They must constantly attack the enemy outside, destroy the enemy's siege troops, and use offense as defense to maintain the safety of Wangcheng.
However, the food supply in Wangcheng has bottomed out, the prices of basic supplies have become horribly high, and the economy is already on the verge of collapse. The civilians in Wangcheng have become increasingly insecure, and there are also criminals maliciously hoarding food, causing the food crisis to become increasingly serious.
I don’t know how long Wangcheng can last?
At the east gate of the second area, those tens of thousands of farmers, instigated by some pseudo-farmers, actually rushed into the guards, trying to break through the guards' defense line and break into the grain channel gate.
The grain road gate is a small gate 6 meters high and 4 meters wide, mainly allowing grain trucks to enter.
The captain of the guard at the city gate saw this and kept warning with a loudspeaker: "No trouble, no trouble."
The captain's warning had no effect. The farmers were getting more and more crazy. They felt that they were being treated extremely unfairly.
The deputy captain of the guard suggested that the guards should draw their weapons to demonstrate. If necessary, the archers on the city wall could release explosive arrows to deter these farmers.
The captain of the guard dismissed the suggestion directly, thinking it was ridiculous. But the deputy captain gave a new reason: if the trouble continues or their behavior is not stopped, more farmers will join the trouble. Because they would feel that the guards did not dare to do anything to the farmers.
Although the deputy captain's reasons were reasonable, the captain still did not dare to issue such an order. If you want to take action against the farmers, the leader of the East Gate Guards must give the order. But the regiment leader was temporarily sent to the front line and would not be able to come back for a while.
The deputy captain continued to urge: "Before the captain left, he gave you the authority and you can make your own decision. Don't forget, our goal is to protect the East City Gate and we must not let any suspicious elements in."
"That won't hurt civilians either."
"It's not about harm, it's about deterrence. It won't cause much harm to civilians." the deputy captain continued to suggest.
"It still doesn't work. If it doesn't work, just close the grain gate first."
"But Captain Chen's grain truck will be arriving soon."
As soon as the deputy captain finished speaking, he heard the sound of horns in the distance, and a large group of soldiers escorted three grain trucks slowly driving forward. These three grain trucks were collected with great difficulty and were personally escorted by Captain Chen.
Seeing that the grain truck was coming, the farmers actually swarmed around and stopped the grain truck from entering the city.
For a while, the noise continued, and the farmers tried their best to prevent the grain trucks from entering the city. Captain Chen kept threatening, but he did not dare to actually take action against the civilians.
At this moment, there was a roar in the sky, an ice dragon fell from the sky, and all the noise suddenly stopped.
