In the winter of the Mirage Kingdom, where the breath has begun to smell white, the sound of cannons has not completely stopped. The orc troops have been carrying out what they call demolition work, releasing their suppressed emotions for thousands of years with one shot after another.

They have never fought such a rich battle! In front of the Western Wall Fortress, they only had Cyric flintlock guns in their hands! Facing the Qin's artillery and machine guns, they didn't even have room to fight back.

It's different now. The weapons in their hands are more advanced than their opponents' weapons, and their ammunition is more abundant than their opponents' ammunition... This battle is really interesting.

Hiding in the trenches every day, drinking hot water, enjoying the warmth brought by sweaters and cotton-padded clothes, and listening to the sound of shells tearing the air overhead, this is real life!

On an ordinary day, in an ordinary morning, the bombardment of the Orc troops started again. The roar of the 155 howitzer became the whistle for the mirage army to wake up in the morning. Every time they heard this terrifying sound, they had to get up from various places. The day's battle begins.

It's actually not accurate to call it a battle, because they will not take the initiative to attack the orcs. They will just continue to reinforce the destroyed barricades and trenches, and then continue to survive such a difficult day in the ruins.

Compared with the orc army, the mirage army's winter preparations seemed a bit too stretched. They didn't have enough cotton clothes or enough fuel, so they had to find something in the ruined city to keep out the cold.

The good news is that after the house collapsed, there seemed to be plenty of wood that could just be burned. The bad news is that there are fewer and fewer houses and not much shelter left.

Some of the remaining houses were used as hospitals to house the wounded. In order to avoid being attacked, huge red crosses were painted on the roofs of these houses. This was a symbol of field hospitals inherited from the Tang Empire. The purpose of the building.

Under normal circumstances, the Tang Empire's planes would not attack such a building, but the Orc army's planes were very unreasonable.

Don't ask, it's just because your skills are not very good and you don't avoid public welfare facilities such as hospitals. Anyway, the goblins in the Mirage Kingdom had nowhere to reason, so the orcs were a little unscrupulous.

Shanru walked through what looked like a fortified trench, with sandbags on both sides and wooden planks for support.

The soldiers in the trenches were sitting together enjoying their breakfast. To be honest, since the port dock behind them was built, their food treatment has continued to improve.

They have never enjoyed such high-level treatment. In the Orc Empire, where has the yellow sand filled the sky seen such luxurious food? Just kidding, even those tribal priests and elders wouldn’t dare to eat like this!

The food standard for frontline troops actually includes candies, cereals that can be eaten with water, and special luncheon meat! Is this a delicacy that common people can enjoy? This is a feast that only the Beast King can afford, okay!

That’s lunch meat! Although two-thirds of it is starch, the oil and water inside is genuine! It smelled of salt and spice, something some orc soldiers had lived their whole lives to enjoy until they had come here to die.

Yes, from now on, many orcs have been pulled directly from the desert of the orc empire to the battlefield.

The Tang Empire no longer trains these soldiers. After all, the loss rate of the orc troops has been reduced to a bearable range, so the Datang Empire began to transfer civilians who have not received military training to the island.

It's just that these kind of civilians have to work, or they are directly recruited to join the army, or they continue to work as laborers on the island... In short, the tasks are very arduous.

"How is it? Is the enemy very fierce?" Shan Lu stood in front of an orc veteran and showed a smile. Frankly speaking, Shanru is definitely a handsome guy among the orcs. He probably looks like a human, so he was selected and became the leader of the orcs.

This is a typical case where good looks represent justice. Only those orcs who are not disgusted by the Tang Empire officials responsible for screening will be allowed to become mid- to high-level orc officers.

There is no way, what if His Majesty the Tang Emperor is about to meet a few orc generals and is disgusted? Who is responsible? So this kind of thing must be prepared in advance, right? Even if he is a little stupid, he just needs to be handsome - this is the selection criteria for orcs.

As for the female orcs... As long as those cat-eared girls are not too ugly, they are very popular: in bars, at sex clubs, as maids, waiters... In short, the Tang Empire's demand for cat-eared girls is endless.

The King of Chu had such a thin waist that many people died of starvation in the palace. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had a cat-eared concubine, so how could anyone have the nerve to say that he was a noble lord of the Tang Empire if he didn't have an orc concubine?

"General!" The veteran followed the script, as if he had just discovered that the orc Lieutenant General Shan Lu had walked in front of him. He put down the lunch box in his hand, stood up and saluted: "I am willing to fight for His Majesty the Tang Emperor!"

Shan Lu waved his hand with satisfaction, indicating that the other party should not be so restrained: "This is our new home! For the great Emperor Tang, and for the future of the orcs! We must all move forward bravely!"

While he was talking, the photographer standing above the trench was carrying a camera, and there were new cameras on a row of tripods next to him. Some advanced guys also have long lenses hanging on them, which look like a heavy machine gun.

Under the tunnel, behind Shan Lu, there were also many photographers standing. They were wearing various clothes. Some were from the "Datang Empire Daily" and some had "Chang'an Weekly" printed on their backs.

Professional equipment is controlled by professional people. The Tang Empire has begun to use ultra-high-definition color images in television broadcasts. Although there is still a long way to go between ultra-definition and true ultra-definition at this time, the images are indeed clear enough to make people laugh. to the point where many details can be distinguished.

No matter from which aspect you look at it, the technological progress of the Tang Empire has changed people's lives. As satellites are launched one after another, human beings' understanding of the planet they are on is gradually improving.

For the first time, people use the perspective of the universe to overlook the world they live in. This in itself is a miracle, a great miracle.

The scene has advanced to Shanru raising his arms and loudly encouraging his soldiers. All the soldiers present raised their arms, cheered and shouted.

Each of these soldiers looks crooked, but they are all powerful. The strong orcs are wearing the obsolete military uniforms of the Tang Empire, wearing M35 helmets, holding Mauser rifles... This scene really makes people laugh and cry.

If it weren't for the fact that their lips couldn't cover their big yellowed teeth, if it weren't for the American oval grenades hanging on their waists, if it weren't for the fact that they were wearing simple tactical vests made of canvas, it would really feel like they had traveled through time.

Yes, this is a staged photo shoot and a publicity. Every orc present was carefully selected, and they were all strong, powerful, and exemplary "pacesetters."

The entire picture must be carefully designed, even the shooting angle, the position where the characters stand, and the gestures are particular.

These propaganda documentaries were sent back to the Tang Empire and then used for political propaganda. This is a bold attempt in the modern public opinion war, and it is also opening up a new battlefield in the media war.

On the other side, in front of a bunker that had long been captured by the orcs, dozens of orcs were crawling forward. Next to them were reporters and photographers who were recording videos. These orc soldiers wanted to recreate as much as possible the time when they stormed the place. Bunker scene.

On the machine gun position in the distance, the Orc soldier holding the machine gun was very nervous because the lens of a camera was about to poke into his face. He is very ugly. When he grew up, he never thought that one day he would be photographed for others to admire...

A group of goblin captives were sitting in the cafeteria, their calves trembling as they looked at the rich food in front of them. They have never enjoyed such high treatment since they were caught.

All of a sudden, they were pulled out of their prison tents and placed on a table full of food, making them think they were about to be executed.

The photographer who shot the documentary didn't care about this. He just used a camera to record such precious historical scenes from a distance: the goblin captives were well taken care of, they could enjoy sumptuous food, and the living place was spacious and bright.

Being able to do such a thing, the orcs, and the Tang Empire that leads the orcs, are naturally just, civilized, and great...

"Okay! That's enough." The human carrying the camera walked out of the cafeteria and said this before leaving.

The orc soldiers, who had been impatient for a long time, picked up the poor goblin prisoners and escorted them back to the prison camp.

The goblins were glad that they didn't have to die. The orcs continued to enjoy their delicious meal after they came back, so... everyone was happy.

At the southwest end of the island, on the edge of the city where a large number of orcs have begun to immigrate, a huge thermal power plant has begun operation.

The orcs finally had a factory of their own, and they also had their own workers. Now that they have electricity, their whole life starts to brighten up.

Although a large number of power lines are open wires, and the power poles are designed to be lifted into the air for rapid deployment, this combination has indeed allowed the city to popularize electricity as quickly as possible.

Cheers came and went, and the orc civilians were excited for the happy life they had ushered in. But the goblins who originally lived nearby were being escorted by orc soldiers at this time, leaving forever the land where they had lived for generations.

When ten people praise you, there are always three people who curse you. There are even more people who curse you...
