Chapter 254: The Situation in the North In mid-December, a week after the attack on Rodnik, after Zhao Yannian reported the battle of Erica's territory to the Supreme Council, the Supreme Council finally passed King Edward's bill unanimously.
The Eternal Guardian will be expanded, and the expansion range will increase the distance of a thousand kilometers with the current royal capital as the center, so that most of the northwest and northern territories and the entire southern territory of Belaku will be included in the scope of the Eternal Guardian, so that not only Zhao Yannian's Rodnik Domain, but even the three dukes of the Northern Territory will no longer worry about the attacks of the Orcs and Soul Eaters, but most of the fallen cities currently occupied by the Orcs are not within the scope of this Eternal Guardian expansion, If the three dukes of the Northern Territory want to regain the lost territory, they will ultimately need to rely on their own strength.
Although he has obtained a lot of information about the current war between the Northern Territory and the Orcs with his own intelligence system, it is obvious that Sherlock cannot analyze the specific trend of the entire war for Zhao Yannian, and it is impossible to provide Zhao Yannian with those real top-secret information.
Therefore, after Zhao Yannian got the information provided by the Supreme Council, he really understood how difficult the situation of the war in the northern territory had become.
At the beginning, only the dwarves and orcs were united, and the lords of the northern lord were comparable in strength, but with the addition of the moon elves, the orcs began to gain an advantage in strength, and the two aspects of long-range attack and magic attack that the orcs lacked were perfectly supplemented after the addition of the moon elves, and the dwarves of the Black Iron King City's change of clothes to the orc army made the equipment advantage of humans almost negligible, and the effect of the combination between the two was not additive but multiplied.
At present, nearly half of the northern territory is already in a semi-out of control, if it were not for the Duke of Reese's main city Torriso is still firmly resisting the attack of the main force of the orcs, I am afraid that those nobles who are anxious to defend against the attack of a small orc army will immediately abandon their territory and run to the inner region for refuge.
However, even if these territories were defended by nobles, they were powerless in the face of the orc armies that roamed around for the purpose of creating chaos.
The panic caused by these wandering orcs caused a large number of farmers living outside the city to flood into the city, and the wealthy merchants and minor nobles in the city were already preparing to flee to the inner realms.
The Northland, which has not been at war for many years, has long lost its courage and martial spirit, and even the nerves of the people in the big cities with strong cities and guns are crumbling, and the soaring prices, looting and riots continue to occur, and the strong suppression of the army only makes the nervous emotions of the citizens continue to accumulate and ferment.
If it were just these circumstances, it would be quite predictable, but a recent piece of news from the front line gave the Supreme Council a very bad premonition, and it was precisely because of this premonition that the Inner Regions would abandon the controversy and let the issue of the expansion of the Eternal Guardian pass smoothly.
At the front line, when the Glory Legion attacked a military camp behind an orc battle line, it was found that the orcs used guns to return fire at them, and in an officer camp in the orc barracks, the strong men of the Glory Legion also found a power armor made according to the orc's figure.
What this evidence represents is naturally self-evident, if orcs are also capable of producing power armor and firearms, then where are the advantages of humans?
No one knows the mineral deposits on the Beast Plateau at the moment, but the mineral deposits in the Black Iron Mountains are extremely rich, and if the Orc Alliance can really build a factory to make guns and power armor, then it seems that humanity will lose even the last bit of advantage.
According to the estimates of the wise men under the Supreme Council, this is likely to be the work of dwarves and elves, of course, it is impossible to rule out that humans also played a role in it, according to the report submitted by the Duke of Rees, one of his subordinate gun factories was raided by orcs and destroyed by fire not long ago, and there are more than a dozen alchemists in the factory whose fate is unknown.
Duke Reese, who originally thought that the orcs would destroy everything, just regarded this incident as an accidental attack, but now combined with the previous news, I am afraid that the orcs have obtained all the information about firearms and power armor.
A few rifles, one or two power armor can't change the current form of the battlefield, and in a short period of time, it is impossible for the orcs to complete the process that humans have gone through for several years to establish a complete production line, but now the change of the orcs has made the Supreme Council vigilant, if the alliance of the orcs, moon elves, elves and dwarves is not broken as soon as possible, then the northern territory may fall into the quagmire of endless war.
While the Supreme Council was pondering how to divide and even disperse the racial alliances that had gathered together, a newly built gun production line in the temple of the Black Iron King City was running as if it never stopped.
Due to the exchange between the bronze dwarves and the black iron dwarves in Zhao Yannian's territory before, the casting process of the black iron dwarves has become more exquisite, and the parts of this firearm production line are completely made of castings as parts, and the fiery red molten iron is introduced into the mold, and after cooling, a basket of parts with a metallic luster is pushed by the dwarves and transported to the production line, and the dwarf women keep assembling the parts quickly with both hands, and soon the black and shiny guns are produced and stacked together.
In the plaza outside the temple, Craigie was watching the newly created weapon with Flor, who was still emaciated, with some wrinkled skin and a hemp stick-like stature that made him look like an enlarged version of a goblin.
However, in the Black Iron King City, no one dared to laugh at the commander of the orc legion, and a goblin and god who could command a million orcs were probably not much different.
"Lord Flor, this is our newly produced firearm, more powerful than the human ones, and can penetrate the steel armor of the standard of human infantry."
Unlike the average dwarf, Craigie prefers the effects of weapons to the weapons themselves, so the focus is on how powerful they are when introducing Flore.
"Yes, how fast are these guns produced, and how many percent of them can be produced?"
With one hand on his wooden staff, he tried to grab the heavier and sturdy all-black iron rifles, but he was not strong enough to pick up the heavy weapons, and with some fuss, he let go of his hand, and began to ask the dwarves about the production of weapons.
"When it comes to the manufacture of metal, there is no one in this world who can surpass us in the black iron race, and our women can produce half the output of those machines with all their might, but we make much stronger than their thin iron sheets."
Craigie boasted with one hand waving the rifle in his hand.
"But your workers need to eat and sleep all day, and those machines don't."
Flower shook his head after listening to Craigie's words, and then turned to leave with his escort.
Craigie, on the other hand, was stunned for a long time before shaking his head in annoyance and leaving.
After Flore left the temple, he rode his rhinoceros war beast to the dwarf palace, since the dwarf king Samon escaped, this palace has been occupied by the moon elves, and as the strongest Oliver in the entire dwarf royal city, the elves of the moon temple live here is barely in line with the identity, Craigie as the weakest party of the three parties naturally does not dare to oppose in this situation, and in Flore's opinion, the gap between the dwarves and the elves is the most in the interests of the orcs, so the elves are also allowed to do this.
After entering the palace, Flower did not go to see Oliver, and the arrogant elves in the tripartite cooperation center always regarded the orcs as equal or even slightly inferior allies, and it was naturally impossible for Flower to feel the domineering momentum of the strongest man every once in a while.
Guarded by the Moon Elves, Flower and his guards came to a remote building where a dozen alchemists were scribbling something from their books with blank eyes.
"General Flor, you're here."
A female elven priestess with a staff marked by the moon came to Flower, but the priestess of the Temple of the Moon did not use honorifics for Flower.
"How's their job going?"
After hearing that the priestess did not use honorifics against him, Flower raised his eyebrows, but after all, he was a shaman with enough wisdom to distinguish between the important and the important, so he did not show the slightest dissatisfaction with the priestess's disrespect.
"The knowledge about alchemy has been copied, and they are transcribing their knowledge of the human world."
The priestess did not seem to be very interested in her work, and after a brief answer, she stopped talking, while Flower began to read what the alchemists had written before.
"Introduction to industrialization, fundamental physics, the importance of weights and measures, chemistry, how come the authors of these things are all one person?"
Flower soon found a suspicion in the transcribed books.
The young orc shaman looked back at the priestess, who finally paused the ground with her staff in embarrassment, and then released a silver glow at a glazed alchemist.
"In the real moonlight, Xiao Xiao will confide in the truth!"
With the unleashing of the divine magic, the alchemist's gaze shifted from sluggishness to sobriety, and from sobriety to confusion.
"Can you tell me who Blake Rodnick is?"
Flower asked the alchemist, holding an overview of industrialization in his hand.

"Genius alchemist, a new generation of masters, our mentor ......"
The alchemist said a long list of titles, and under Flower's questioning, Zhao Yannian appeared in front of the orcs for the first time.
As Flower left the dwarven palace with the alchemical knowledge he had copied, a smile twinked at the corner of the young orc shaman's mouth.
"The inventor of airplanes and firearms and power armor, who has injured His Highness the Beast God, is a human to pay attention to."
