Realm of Power

Hawi Kingdom, Kigasan Region

The milky white morning light slowly emerged from the east, like a line driving forward, shining on the humid land of Jigasan. Unlike the generally dry Martin Tooth Prairie, the territory of the Kingdom of Harvey is mainly in the Half of this area between the Rogue Swamp and the Zanchia Trans Mountains is a dense woodland of moist pine, and the other half is a land of rolling hills, at the top of which are tall mountains.

Even in May, you can still see that the snow has not completely melted, and there is still a thin layer left, reflecting the stunning white light. At the foot of the mountains, dense carpet-like weeds are blowing with the wind, and at night The condensed round dewdrops dangled on the grass blades, emitting colorful light, filling the land in front of them with vitality.

This is a beautiful land, but to the Harvey people who live on it, it represents barrenness.

Moist soil seems to be conducive to the growth of crops, but in fact because of the huge bulge of the huge Zanchia Transverse Mountains, it blocks the warm wind from the south, so the season here is one or two months later than in other areas. The duration of sunlight is one month shorter than in other areas. In other areas, it is already the season of spring and flowers are blooming, but here it is still Bathed in the cold wind, it passed directly through spring and entered the scorching summer. When other areas entered autumn, it was still summer here, and then it directly entered the cold winter. In other words, there is no spring and autumn here, or it is scorching summer. On a sunny day, or the cold wind is howling, for the growth of crops, they will wither before they mature.

The main crop of the Harvey people is an alpine plant called wheat. It tastes bitter and has a low yield. It must be carefully cared for in order to get a part of the harvest before the cold winter wind sweeps away. As a result, it often takes a lot of energy. , but only had a harvest of three to four percent. Therefore, more than half of the food in the Kingdom of Harvey came from imports from the Order Country in the north.

The financial resources spent on importing food from the Order State accounted for more than half of the Harvey Kingdom, and the arbitrary price hikes by the Order State made the Harvey Kingdom pay a very heavy price. Almost all of the Order State's Every time food prices are raised, it means a catastrophe for the Harvey Kingdom. The most tragic one was in 1967. Not long ago, a severe drought swept across southern Europe. The Order Country was adjacent to the ocean, and the main grain-producing areas were also affected by the warm winds from the northern ocean, so the impact was not significant. However, the Kingdom of Harvey was different. There was almost no harvest in the entire country. As a result, the Order State took advantage of the severe drought in the south and forced the Kingdom of Harvey to use two provinces close to the Order State in exchange for food.

After the Harvey Kingdom refused, the Order State unilaterally closed the trading market on the border and evacuated all grain merchants. In just one winter, more than one million Harvey people froze to death due to lack of food. Starve to death. You must know that the total population of Harvey Kingdom at that time was only five to six million people. On average, one in three people Individuals starved to death. In the end, the Kingdom of Harvey had to bow its head and agreed to cede two provinces to the Order State. Therefore, the Order State expanded the southern region to the direction of the Kingdom of Harvey by more than 300 miles, making the Kingdom of Harvey the only The tentacles extending to the north were completely cut off. In the following decades, the Kingdom of Harvey suffered from the tragic situation of being dependent on others.

In the several wars against the Erro people, the Order State always used the Harvey people as cannon fodder at the front. As a result, the number of Harvey people who died was probably in the hundreds of thousands.

From the point of view of the Order State, it is the Harvey people who have fed the Harvey people. The Harvey people should be grateful to themselves. It is natural to accompany the Order State to fight against the Eero Empire. In the eyes of the Harvey people, the Order State is like A vampire biting his own throat not only squeezed out the last copper of Harvey's kingdom, They also continued to consume the men of the Kingdom of Harvey on the battlefield, creating a large number of widows. When the children of these widows grow up, you can imagine what attitude they will use to view the Kingdom of the Order. This is also The reason why the Harvey people did not hesitate to stab the Order State as soon as they found an opportunity.

This time, the Harveys not only recaptured the two provinces that were originally ceded, but also took most of the southern part of the Order State into their own hands. Although the southern part of the Order State is also a mountainous area, at least it has opened up On the road leading to the north, the Harvey Kingdom finally does not need to pay high taxes to the Order State to buy small items, nor does it need to look at the Order State's face in order to transport special products. The whole country was excited. However, before the Harvey people's joy could last long, the border area was swept by the bloody madness of the Martin Liga people. On May 7, the Martin Liga Kingdom, also a member of the Southern Alliance, announced that the Harvey people were attacking. Killed the Il tribe lord Ruya and asked the Harvey people to hand over the murderer. At the same time, as soon as Harvey got the news, 50,000 elite Martin Tooth cavalry were already rushing across the border like a tide.

Ta-ta-ta

A black line rises from the horizon, filling the entire earth without a single gap. The wind and clouds between the sky and the earth change color. Under the pale sunshine, countless flying horse hooves trample across the wet mud. Picking up sand, gravel and weeds, they were swept into the ranks like a tornado,

Like a sandstorm sweeping in the distance, the densely packed light cavalry were like groups of ants swarming. The war horses were almost connected by their hoofs. Because there were too many people, they had to keep moving forward at an alarming rate. With such speed, if someone falls down in the middle, they will be crushed to pieces immediately and completely melted to the ground. No trace can be seen anymore, as if the rolling spring thunder exploded the earth

The army was swarming, and the sand and gravel under the horses' hooves seemed to be dancing, constantly being shaken up and then falling down again. It was like there were many invisible big hands, picking them up and putting them down, and it was like boiling water dancing, the crystal dewdrops falling bit by bit, and finally helplessly sinking into the soil.

The trembling of the earth became more and more severe, and even the blades of grass began to sway violently. The shaking movements became more and more intense, and finally they broke completely and fell helplessly, sticking tightly to the earth, densely packed. The cavalry group was like a huge sword, cutting the entire land into two

Behind the cavalry group, there were villages and towns billowing with black smoke. Martin's sharp-toothed cavalry were looting and looting. They rode their war horses and knocked open the doors of Harvey people's houses. There was a chaotic and shrill sound inside. The man was definitely going to kill him. Yes, women depend on their mood, because in order to maintain the strong fighting spirit of the soldiers, the Martin Liga people Of all the trophies looted in the war, half of the other trophies need to be handed over, but only women do not need to be handed over. They belong to themselves and can be used as slaves or sold for money. Even nobles are absolutely not allowed to. Take any share from it, even the most beautiful woman.

This practice makes the Martin Liga cavalry determined not to let go of any village, even if that village is impoverished. For the Martin Liga people, the so-called war means mountains of wealth and beauties everywhere, waiting for them. To occupy, to own, they sprinted madly, expecting to be the first to break into that rich area.

Falling behind means losing everything!

This is the thought of most of the Martin Sharptooth Cavalry. Being behind means that you will get nothing. Being behind means that you can only live by looking at other people's faces in the future. Being behind means that others are embracing beautiful women, but you can only stare. As long as If your speed is a little slower, your wealth and beauty will be robbed by the people in front of you.

Therefore, the largest number of Martin's fang cavalry is the light cavalry, not only because of their bravery, but because the light cavalry can run the fastest.

The endurance of the hardships that the Martin Tooth people have developed in the Martin Tooth Prairie, which is dry all year round, allows them to run for three days and three nights in a row. Sometimes even the horses can't stand it, but they can still be energetic. They jumped off their horses and looked for all the targets they could find. They called themselves Weifeng said that he was like a sharp arrow crossing the vast and desolate land, saying that in the distance of his sight, there were better water plants and more abundant prey, waiting for them to occupy them. They must go as fast as possible, and they must not do it. The blocking posture breaks in and plunders everything they can.

This is the way of survival of the Martin Liga people. Robbery is legal and necessary. Without looting, there would be no existence of the Martin Liga people.

Before the army marched, the spears of the 50,000 Martin Liga Il tribe towered into the air like a forest. The wind blew up the starry sky flag of the Il tribe. Crown Prince Spike, wearing a gorgeous armor, immediately stood in front of tens of thousands of Martin Liga Il tribe. In front of the tribe's cavalry, his eyes swept across the rows of steadfast faces, and he drew his sword and shouted, "From the day our Yi tribe appeared, God ordered us to use swords." Use the sword to destroy the enemy! Use your hands to take away everything you can! Use your chest to warm the lonely breasts of the women there! Use the torch to burn everything. We will make the enemy tremble and cry under the courage of our Yi tribe. Let this world become our world! Because looting and killing are powers given to us by God, and everything we do is God’s will.”

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The 50,000 Martin Tooth cavalry raised their cold cavalry spears and roared madly. It makes sense that the Martin Tooth cavalry are regarded as savage beasts by the Barro people in southern Europe. The Martin Tooth cavalry are best at traveling day and night, non-stop. , eating and drinking on horseback, often rushing into the hinterland in the blink of an eye, It set off a bloody storm, but this time, Crown Prince Spike personally led the team, and cooperated with the famous Il tribe Hoffendre, with lightning speed, it took only one day to break through the more than 10,000 defenders of the Kingdom of Harvey on the border. In the early morning of the third day, the troops arrived at Torre City, an important town on the border of Harvey Kingdom.

Staring at the outline of the city in front of him, Sparks paused for a moment. In front of Torre City was the fork of the Sanchuan River where three white torrents converged. The location of Torre City was like a large gate, controlling the flow of the river. Upstream, this river is the Tanggu River, which has the best forging water quality in the Harvey Kingdom. Downstream, it is Longto, the most famous forging city of the Harvey people, and the number one need in Spike's mind. Not to mention the many strategic locations captured, the blacksmith guild in Longto City, which is said to have a scale of 30,000 people, is enough to greatly improve the iron forging level of the Il tribe to a higher level, and then surpass the Anxili tribe in one fell swoop. And the Sam tribe, and the location of Torre City, for Longto downstream, is tantamount to a sharp knife hanging over the head. If you take Torre, you can go down the river with thunder. Take down Ronto in one fell swoop

Many people think that Spike is simple-minded. In fact, who knows, it is all a pretense. There is a cunning white fox in front of him, and there is Baron who is good at planning behind. These two people are already eye-catching, what are they doing? Excellent, that is, similar to these two people, it is better to take a different path. Relatively speaking, the average Martin Liya people prefer the straightforward warrior type, and most appreciate warriors who can lead them to plunder countless wealth, rather than hiding behind the scenes. the conspirator

"80,000 troops and more than one million in supplies were used for just three days of fighting. In the end, no benefits were gained. Is this still the style of the Martin Liga people?"

Just like this time, the white fox of the Ansili tribe took the opportunity to destroy its old enemy, the Kingdom of Kalisu, with the help of the Empire and the sword of the Anser, but the response from the top brass of the kingdom was not very good.

Although the original national humiliation was always talked about, there was absolutely no benefit to be gained from it. Even the Anxili tribe was quite critical of it.

After all, in order to deliver a fatal blow to the Carisu Kingdom's army, the 80,000-horse Lifan army sneaked for more than a hundred miles at night. Although considerable preparations were made, the non-combat attrition was still as many as more than a thousand people. Later, with Carisu, The life-and-death battle in which the army fought resulted in the death of more than 6,000 people and the injury of 11,000 people.

Although the Kalisu people were defeated in the end, the empire took the opportunity to go south, and blocked the northward advance with Biyang Valley, and included half of the Kalisu area into the empire's territory, and to the south, south of Hanlu Mountain A large number of Ansers poured in, and after they had established a foothold in the south, they immediately began to ask the Martin Tooth Army to withdraw from the south. This was quite ruthless to the extreme. In the end, the Kalisu area was completely destroyed by the Empire and Ansers. People divided it up and came out The powerful Martin Liya people have only managed to gain a little bit of skin on the border. Of course, from a political point of view, the Anxili people have definitely made a lot of money this time. They have destroyed their old enemy in one fell swoop and put the pressure on Martin for decades The shame on the heads of the sharp teeth has been wiped away. The most important point is that after several years of silence, the white fox once again proved his undefeated strength. This alone is enough to affect the upcoming rotation of the three races. tilt,

If this were not the case, there would be no need for him to jump over the wall in such a hurry and go to the empire to meet the emperor in person. But now, he finally has the opportunity. Just like the white fox proved that he is capable of overturning a country, he will let the entire Martin Fang defeat him. The lords felt that they could bring them countless wealth and hope!
