Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

"No outsiders are allowed to enter Beijing!"

Weijing's grandfather is the real grandfather, which shocked both Wendlow and Mousse.

And based on their limited knowledge of urban studies, they can roughly judge the population of the city.

The population of Zhendan in Weijing City has reached a terrifying 500,000 at least, and this is the most conservative estimate. If it is properly managed, the population of the entire Weijing City will rise to as many as 700,000.

This data is a bit too terrifying.

You know, the capital of the neighboring empire, Altdorf, has a population of only 150,000. If you count the lower classes and outsiders who do not pay taxes, the total population is only 200,000.

The population of the Zhendan capital was more than three times that of the imperial capital.

This is not a simple multiplication. Doubling the population is completely different from tripling the population. The difficulty of various resource allocations and logistics transportation will increase exponentially.

Moreover, all the Zhendan cities along the way have large populations.

If the Empire has a population of 40 million and Bretonnia has a population of 60 million, then the population of Zhendan will be a terrifying 80 million.

The terrifying number of 80 million is an unimaginable cloud of fear for the dark elf Mousse.

With so many people crowded into this land of Zhendan, is it really not crowded?

This city alone has a population of no less than 700,000, so it is indeed necessary to carry out urban control.

If all the migrant population were to move to Beijing to live, the resulting population management costs would be very high.

Moreover, such a city does not need foreign merchants, as all managers are appointed by the Dragon Emperor himself.

If the merchants want to lower the price or delay the time, the dispatch of 700,000 people will be very terrifying.

Nationalizing commerce can maintain stability to the greatest extent possible.

And if the number of foreign population continues to increase, how can we solve the employment problem?

Now the employment of 700,000 people alone is giving Windlow a headache.

Once the employment problem is not solved, public security problems will arise one after another. How are 700,000 people going to be employed? Is the Dragon Emperor preparing some big plan?

No matter what, no one is allowed to enter Weijing without an entry order.

This trip for the two of them was truly in vain, and now it's time to consider the next step.

Spreading out the map of Zhendan in his hand, the terrain, mountains, rivers and roads of the entire Zhendan appeared before his eyes.

This is much better than the Empire map and Bretonnia map.

The Imperial map only marked cities and large towns, as well as the roads connecting these places, while the Bretonnia map only marked the large cities.

Based on such a detailed map, Windlow found another way to go south to meet Gert.

Go to the coastal area, from north to south, follow the Grand Canal all the way down, and you will eventually meet up with the Imperial forces at Zhulindu.

There are a few rest times along the way, during which you can appreciate the beautiful scenery in Aurora and learn a lot about Aurora culture.

Later, you can use this knowledge to become a well-known businessman and adventurer in the imperial aristocratic circle.

At any time, experience is a very good experience. The more experience you have, the more likely you are to be admired and respected by others.

The two of them continued walking along the road eastwards, and here was a port city of Zhendan.

Haiqi Port, the northernmost port city in Zhendan, is responsible for connecting shipping in the entire northern part of Zhendan.

But at this time the city was completely closed, and there was an indescribable solemnity in the air.

Mousse was startled and suddenly felt a familiar breath coming from the sea. He didn't care about Windlow at all and ran to the highest hillside by himself, taking in the entire coastline.

Inside the harbor, Zhendan's army has already begun to be deployed, and on the sea outside the harbor, there is the force that Mousse had guessed.

A dark elf fleet, led by a black ark.

The Black Ark is the most terrifying fighting force in the Dark Elf fleet.

This is a huge floating fortress, which was separated from the mainland as a part. Each black ark can carry thousands of warriors and slaves.

The appearance of the Black Ark is definitely not for tourism. This city called Haiqi Port must have been targeted by the dark elves and will inevitably suffer a disaster.

"Oh no! Our pirates from Duruchi have surrounded this port city. We don't have much time left."

Mousse had already found out all the information, and came back to tell Windlow everything, then pointed to the south. Now the two of them could not enter the city.

"We have to leave now, preferably 20 kilometers away from the coast."

Windlow may not know much about the dark elves, but Mousse is a real dark elf. Even though he has never been to the Black Ark or become a Black Ark pirate, he still knows the characteristics of this group of pirates.

As long as a fleet dispatches a black ark, it means that its combat effectiveness will surpass that of all port cities.

Mousse can tell one thing with just one glance.

"Haiqi Port will definitely be captured, and it won't even take a few hours. Let's leave quickly, quickly!"

"This place is so close to the capital of Zhendan, we can go find reinforcements, maybe..."

"There is no possibility. The only thing we can do now is to escape immediately. Of course, we also have the opportunity to talk to the Haiqi Port City Defense Force, but it will only take 20 minutes."

Mousse was right, the dark elves' plundering fleet had already completed its formation, and there were only the last twenty minutes left before the siege.

All Windlow could do was to mount his unicorn immediately and run towards Haiqi Port as fast as he could to call for the Aurora soldiers on the city wall.

"Run! The Dark Elf army is coming. Run inland quickly and get away from the Black Ark. The Dark Elf army will be powerless!"

However, after such a warning, the only response from Windlow was a few crossbow arrows fired at his feet.

"Where are you from? The war is imminent, and you are here to weaken the morale of the army. Zhendan must defend every inch of land, but they are just some pirates. They can be easily killed and then hung on the dock."

Of course, the Zhendan soldiers would not believe the loud shouts of a man outside the city, and with a great battle approaching, it was a great opportunity to gain military merit.

Moreover, this is a Zhendan city. How can we escape without fighting?

No matter how much Windlow talked about the power of the Dark Elves' Black Ark, the Zhendan soldiers on the city wall ignored them. In the end, they even forced them into a corner and raised their crossbows to aim at them.

"If you say another word, I'll use your head as a sacrifice to help the war!"
