A miracle at the beginning

Ling'er smiled and added a piece of braised pork to Luo Yu's bowl: "Father, Shuang'er knows this very well. She has touched the other side clearly!"

Everyone looked at Yue Ningshuang. If we were talking about the great housekeeper of Ling'er Kingdom, then Shuang'er was the eyes of the kingdom.

Shuang'er gently stroked the long hair beside her ears and said calmly: "Reporting to the master, the North Shore city-state army currently consumes 120 million units of food every day. In terms of logistical supplies, the opponent relies on storage rings to transport supplies, accounting for 8% of the total. Part of the supplies were still provided by horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts or peasant carts.”

"On average, sending one soldier's rations to the front line consumes five people's rations along the way."

"Although I don't have specific data, it's not difficult to guess that the other party's daily food consumption is probably more than one billion units."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Luo Yu was still extremely shocked.

Even though the Kingdom of Dreamweaver is rich and the city-state has a strong accumulation, such consumption is really an astronomical figure.

"very good."

Luo Yu calmed down, looked at the large red area on the virtual page and said: "According to common sense, I am back, and they should not act rashly, but now they are dispatching troops. What does this prove?"

"I know!"

Xiaoduo raised her hands excitedly and said, "They are hungry!"

"Yes! Baby is so smart!"

"The other party must be in a tight supply situation, and I'm afraid they may soon be unable to bear it."

"What we have to do now is not to take the initiative to attack, but to stabilize the defense and wait for them to take advantage."

"When the enemy army is in chaos, send arrogant soldiers and generals to rush forward and eliminate the main force of the city-state in one fell swoop."

"The vast land to the north will then be flat, and we will be able to take whatever we want."

In a few words, Luo Yu set a strategic policy: defensive counterattack.

The beast mother's maids nodded, and Ling'er smiled and said: "Our food and grass are enough to last until the spring of next year. My daughter will send an order to build more arrow towers and elemental cannons. If we can't hold on, let them attack."

"Well, soldiers are very quick, so please pass on the order as soon as possible."

Luo Yu responded and took a bite of the braised pork, which felt even more delicious.

A moment later, while he was tasting delicious red wine, Ling'er came back with a frown on his face.

The beautiful princess sat back next to her father and whispered: "Father, the court is reporting that our treasury is about to run out of gold, silver, copper, iron and various elemental mines."

"Although energy production is sufficient, there is a lack of various raw materials. All our factories will be shut down in five days. The extraction of various resources refreshed in the autumn will also take time. I am afraid it will affect the progress of deploying frontline defense equipment."

"Are there not enough raw materials?"

Luo Yu frowned.

Without mines, everything was in vain. He immediately switched the panoramic map of Uno Country to resource point mode.

On the vast map of Uno Country, blue marks representing resource points are dotted all over the place.

Upon closer inspection, he actually discovered a problem.

There are sufficient energy resources such as coal, oil, and natural gas, and production areas such as breeding farms, forest farms, and fertile soil are also densely populated, but there is a lack of mineral veins.

He thought for a moment and understood the crux: Yes, I have always produced gold, silver, copper, iron and other materials from various gashapon props. There are not many ore veins in the kingdom that can continuously produce minerals.

I have been in the void for more than two years and have not brought back many resources. The fact that I have been able to persist until now is the result of careful calculation by the court.

Luo Yu felt relieved, thinking to himself that his elementary breakthrough would also require 1,000 large resource points. Even if all the resource points in the Kingdom of U were combined and planned, there would not be more than 15 large resources.

Resources are interests, and they are something that all countries need to fight for.

Luo Yu turned his attention to the east of the Forest of Light.

The vast tiankeng mines shown on the map are like an undeveloped virgin land, waving to all ambitious people.

"Sinkhole Mine."

Luo Yu tapped the virtual page with his fingertips and said in a deep voice: "Ling'er, which of our troops can be mobilized at the moment?"

"Energy County is not on the front line. The Flying Tiger Army led by the two Nangong sisters has always been a mobile force and can be mobilized."

"If you don't care about the possible sea enemies in the south, Io's new troops from Mochizuki County can be transferred to attack the Tiankeng Mine."

"Regardless of merit, the fleet of Machinery City can also be dispatched."

Everyone looked at Luo Yu, waiting for the master's decision.

After pondering for a moment, Luo Yu looked at Xiaoduo and said, "Your Energy County has sent 80,000 troops, led by the Nangong sisters. They will gather at the Forest of Light immediately."

"yes!"

Xiaoduo stood at attention and learned to give a military salute.

Luo Yu stretched out his hand and pinched her little face, then looked at Long Er and said, "The new recruits from Wangyue County will not be mobilized for the time being."

"In this way, I have one million goblin troops to go to the northern front to replace the 200,000 main troops of the Tiger Army and the Rui Cavalry Army. Together with Yang Zaixing's Longxiang Army, a total of 380,000 troops will go to the Forest of Light. gather."

"Master, don't worry, Long'er has taken note of it and will do it tomorrow."

The royal family's tiger talisman was nominally in charge of both Ling'er and Long'er, but Ling'er was busy with political affairs, and Long'er had always been in charge of this job.

Luo Yu also pinched Long Er's pretty face, looked at the group of beast-girl maids surrounding him, and asked: "My darlings, who is the suitable commander?"

Everyone looked at Lan Lan at the same time.

[Badolan: Commander 95, Politics 40]

Luo Yu smiled and said: "Lan Lan, you will be the one to lead the expedition."

"Wei Yan, Yang Zaixing, and Du Yanlong, these idiots, are now in your hands."

"Ah?"

Lan Lan's wings fluttered slightly, representing her anxiety and nervousness at the moment.

After hesitating for a while, she shook her head and said, "Master, I can only lead 300,000 soldiers. 400,000 brave soldiers are beyond my ability."

"300,000?"

"Do you know your own ability so accurately?"

Luo Yu sighed in his heart: Indeed, it is a bit difficult to lead 300,000 troops with a command value of 95 points, but I can't take on everything, right?

If no one in the royal family can lead the army to fight, it will be embarrassing to tell others.

Of course, it's not that he can't lead the army in person, but it's not very useful.

If he leads the army in person, he will immediately become the target of public criticism. Moreover, if he really goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person, the killing value will take off on the spot with a slap, and the luck value will become negative on the spot.

If he just stands there and does nothing, the soldiers will have to be distracted to protect His Majesty.

Just like the ancient emperors, they try to avoid leading troops in person, and only go ahead when they are forced to.

He stepped forward and held Lanlan's hand, saying softly, "It's okay, we are not going to fight, we are going to rob, let Xiaoduo, Xiaojin and Yinyue go with you, they are good at this job."
