There are quite a lot of people, cars and horses setting off.
The entourage brought by the four exchange students was almost unchanged, except for the guy with the butler and the valet, who were changed into a middle-aged man with a scarred face and a magic swordsman, but unfortunately he only had three rings.
So there are 19 people on my side and 6 people on Lei Mingguo's guarantor team.
As for the number of horses, the guarantors had eight horses. After Wang Qi got the magic carriage, he bought two more good-quality transport horses, making a total of four. Among the exchange students, except for Sihuan who brought four horses, everyone else had a riding horse.
A total of 19 horses and 8 carriages.
Bai Xiaojiao hooked up a carriage, and the guarantors' horses also worked part-time to pull the carriage, which just left the exchange students' horses free.
The exchange students have a high status, so this arrangement takes care of their emotions. In addition, the quality of their riding horses is much better than that of the Chamber of Commerce's own horses. They are familiar with each other on the road and can be used by the guarantors when they need it.
On the way, we mainly returned to camping, and only entered some cities or went to markets outside the cities for supplies and transactions.
Perhaps because the traveling speed was relatively fast, the exchange students were not very used to it, but nothing happened. It took them a few days to cross the Omar border and reach the chaotic area again.
Wang Qi also wanted to see the trees he had planted before and the condition of the refugee bandits. The team was still marching along the eastern front.
Public slave ownership has basically been eliminated in the main world. When the identity of the owner is unknown, a pure carriage team will have a lower chance of being robbed in the bandit area.
Of course, merchants will also take advantage of this. As the disorder time in the northwest region of Thunder Kingdom increases, the chances of the two teams being robbed will converge.
There are not as many demons as expected on the east line of the trade route in the Chaos District and the area to the east.
After arriving at the Fountain of Youth, Wang Qi had plenty of time to inquire around and found out that this disaster area corresponded to the first temporary world gate in the penal colony, not the earlier one.
At that time, the main force of the demon clan tried to pass by the east side of the Phoenix Kingdom, but was beaten violently, and then turned around and started a conflict with the kingdom.
Most of those who actually fled were the demons who had spread earlier in the eastern region, and there were also a few who had taken a long way around and slipped through the net.
For the main world side, there are at least two benefits.
One is that the demon clan has not reached a large scale, and it has not developed an intermediate unit of two open and ground troops like the second time. Oh, it is said that in the second time, there was a ground population dominated by wild dogs.
Another benefit is that the terrain dislocation that occurs during the activation of the world gate will cause some cities or parts of cities in exile to be released into the main world. The hybrids led by these lords are not as peaceful as the main world, and they will actually share some of the scattered demons. military pressure.
The administrative collapse of this area is ultimately due to the fact that the main world was not prepared to start a fight directly at home, and was successfully attacked by low-level demons such as little devils.
Precisely because the actual number of demons that came over was very limited, the church was able to complete several rounds of elimination work.
Otherwise, if the scale is the same as that of the clusters that attacked the east and north of the Phoenix Kingdom, let alone eradication, hundreds of thousands of little demons will be born after squatting on the ground for a few months. What kind of power will it take to calm them down?
Wang Qi judged that as long as the number of demons on the east line of the trade route and the areas east of it did not get out of control, and with a certain amount of force support, the people in the area could still hope to regain some of their land.
Now, what affects the results are the two urban agglomerations in the area that are better preserved due to terrain reasons.
The information seen in the Fountain of Youth Library shows that the western trade route in the chaotic area extends all the way to the border area, and the population in peacetime is about two million.
There are no professional statistics, but based on recent local impressions provided by nearby businessmen, excluding part of the population outflow, the area's population still increased net after absorbing refugees, and the estimated value may be as high as three million.
In addition, the area in the northeast of the region that borders other countries, relying on the northern boundary mountains of the Thunder Kingdom, has also retained some strength. The number and size of the cities are smaller. Wang Qi has not come into contact with the caravans there, so there is no way Determine the population situation after the disaster.
Judging from the basic conditions of the city, generally speaking, the west is strong and the east is weak.
If the people or groups in power in these surviving cities are a little ambitious, they will know whoever completes regional integration first will be able to rebuild a larger country.
Maybe the Eastern District has already been the territory of another country.
Wang Qi is not a local and lacks the basis to judge the potential of local power. It is difficult to say how many years the specific progress will be.
However, overall, the damage in this region is limited and order is expected to be restored.
The prerequisite is that the Thunder Kingdom to the south can survive this round.
Hiding the situation of the first large-scale cross-border war of the demons, Wang Qi gave a brief analysis of the area to four exchange students while camping, and several guarantors were also nearby to listen to the excitement.
An exchange student asked: "Mr. Dean, do you think Lei Mingguo can withstand it?"
This issue has been considered for some time at the Fountain of Youth, and Wang Qi directly concluded: "It shouldn't be a big problem in the short term, but as time goes by, the demons will have a greater chance of winning."
Carter, the exchange student who was escorted by the three-ring magic swordsman, still had some knowledge and continued to ask: "I heard that the Kingdom of Thunder has established a diocese of the Church of Light, and the power of the Natural Church here is not small. Once the world gate is cut off, it should be The human race has the upper hand, why do you think the demon race has a greater chance of winning?"
“The collapse of the economy and food supply.”
The war between humans may be repeated, but the demons are a completely different species, and they reproduce too fast.
You don't need to reach adulthood. If the requirement is just to "kill ordinary people", most intermediate demons can do it at the age of two or three, and low-level demons can do it within one year.
What the Thunder Kingdom needs to face is not only the number of invasions this time, but also the vast area east of the eastern border where demons are already multiplying, which will become a recruiting ground for the demons.
The demons have no economic system. As long as the vegetation and the insects in the soil that provide nutrients for the vegetation are not extinct, they will have a steady stream of troops.
Relatively speaking, the Thunder Nation will almost certainly move west due to a large number of refugees. The more the defense line retreats, the faster the labor price will collapse. This will cause a series of negative problems that are difficult to solve. At that time, not only will they not be able to give two The church provides assistance and even acts as a hindrance.
Since the headquarters of the two churches are not in the Thunder Kingdom, it is impossible for them to kill all the people here, so the result is doomed.
"But it is not hopeless at all. After the world gate is closed, if the Thunder Kingdom, combined with local magic and church personnel, can invest enough power at once to push the defense line back to their eastern border and re-consolidate the eastern defense line, then There is also the possibility of a stalemate."
Students are such creatures, they really have a lot of questions, and the ones who ask new questions are female exchange students.
"Most of the demons can fly, and if they can be blocked by the advantage of the terrain, they won't collapse before."
Wang Qi and his party came from there and had seen the remains of facilities on the mountain with their own eyes, so they could give an answer. He took a wooden stick and drew a picture on the soil beside the campfire: "You may not know clearly if you haven't been there yourself. The border cities of the country are all set up on the gentle slopes on the east and west sides of the mountain. There are no defensive facilities on the mountain crest. If two to three layers of outposts are deployed from the mountain crest to the east, based on the thirty-kilometer warning range, a cluster of demons will be detected. After that, they spend at least the night in the mountains before they threaten cities.
This night should be enough to convey information and organize the border cities to enter a war-ready state.
The flying ability you mentioned is also a problem. To truly effectively intercept clustered air units, you still need enough high-level mages, or ordinary soldiers to have weapons that can threaten enough heights. If these two issues are not solved, no matter how good the defense line is, it will be a sieve. . "
"The best low-level soldier crossbow I have ever seen can threaten a height of about two hundred yards. Is it enough?"
The Carter family may have some background, but this has nothing to do with the exchange itself, and Wang Qi's identity is not easy to explore in depth.
"You'll be able to see it with your own eyes in a few days."
