They are the cornerstone of royal rule, ensuring that the royal family does not lose power during a period similar to that of Prince Laurie's young and weakened bloodline.

When Prince Laurie came of age, once Princess Sophia was still in power, they would attack in groups, and most of the royalists who have been active around Prince Laurie recently came from here.

But the more he came into contact with them, the more uncomfortable Prince Laurie became.

Many of them are old forces that have been around for a long time, which means that they usually act in a rigid and conservative manner.

If Prince Laurie just wants to be a king who keeps his traditional family property, many of them are the best choice.

If Prince Laurie is a trailblazer who is determined to innovate, break the old framework, and break new ground, they are a real resistance.

It was clear that Prince Laurie belonged to the latter group, and what he wanted to do was something that even Princess Sophilia did not support, let alone the more conservative and stubborn royalists.

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run, after His Highness inherits the throne, he still needs them to rule steadily in a short period of time, and when the rule is stable, it is not too late to prune them slowly. "We also need to calm down, whether the recent pace is too big and too fast, which has provoked too many forces to rebound, causing our plans to be frustrated everywhere. ”

"Patience! Patience! Patience! Except for forbearance or forbearance, when is the end of the day! This king is too sloppy. Prince Laurie was annoyed again.

"The tyrant will have no scruples, His Royal Highness wants to become a generation of masters, naturally he needs to endure pressure from all sides, and only when he gets what he wants in the rules, he is the real hero. The Holy Maiden Enid continued to forgive.

In a short period of time, Enid Saintess has won the trust of Prince Laurie, always by his side, relying on more than just unconventional means.

She also knows Prince Laurie's personality very well, and knows his preferences very well, even above Princess Sophia.

Compared with conventional preaching, similar to a savior and becoming a generation of masters, this kind of big hat and grand goal can attract him more and make him restrain his temper.

This may be related to his origin, from childhood to adulthood, the people around him consciously or unconsciously, instilling in him that he was born great, and the future will gather countless glory and responsibilities as one, and after a long time, he naturally formed a more unique personality.

If you think that your future is different, you should shoulder the responsibility of being different.

When the Holy Maiden of Enid used secret magic to give him a glimpse into the future, she was even more convinced of this and hit it off.

Although Prince Laurie accepted the agreement between the royal family and the Holy See under the persuasion of the Holy Maiden Enid, in the future, his relationship with Princess Sophia became very stiff, and he could no longer find the intimacy he had before.

After Princess Sophilia returned to the royal capital, she had to pay attention to the battle of the Broken Pulse Defense Line and prepare for Prince Laurie's accession to the throne, and she didn't have time to pay attention to Prince Laurie's petty emotions.

Just as Princess Sophia was solving the internal worries of the Byron Alliance, the millions of troops of the Theodin Empire had arrived at the Broken Pulse Defense Line.

I don't know if there were millions of troops in the Western Odin Empire, but now there are definitely them.

Because on their way south, more Odin orcs were swept to join them.

This time, there was no obstacle from the East Odin Empire, and their forces were spread out even more, covering the sky in the real sense, with a radius of hundreds of kilometers, as if they were all galloping.

For the tribes of the East Odin Empire, the West Odin Empire had no mercy at all, and the entire tribe and the entire tribe were looted, and then driven into cannon fodder and crashed into the broken vein defense line.

"Rush! As long as you cross this mountain range, there will be endless flat land behind you, and we Odin men will gallop. ”

"There will be endless delicacies, endless wines, innumerable riches, and countless able-bodied slaves and beauties to be enjoyed and plundered. ”

"Without the protection of the city walls, those two-legged sheep over there are definitely no match for our Odin warriors, and will be at our mercy. ”

"His Majesty Ulaanbazhi has an order that all the proceeds from the southward journey shall be owned by individuals. ”

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Odin! Odin!"

As always, the Orcs of Odin are mobilizing for the war.

Their pre-war mobilization was very simple and crude.

It is to describe to them the riches of the Byronic League, and to arouse their blood and bestiality.

In their eyes, a fearless warrior is the best warrior, as for the formation and tactics, there is not much to pay attention to, when the time comes, you only need to rush to the target, and the rest is free to play.

After all, a few months ago, these people were still a group of herders, and they had never undergone any military training in their lives, and it was simply difficult for them to talk about strategy and tactics, or to cooperate with them.

In fact, not only them, but even the leaders who were cheering them up had not received serious militarized training in their lives.

These Odin orcs are not only poorly trained in military affairs, but also poorly equipped.

Those who can wear homemade leather armor and hold a homemade horn short bow are more wealthy.

Most of them wore thick leather robes, and carried rudimentary weapons, most of which did not even have iron heads, and were made of bone or stone.

There is a shortage of iron tools on the Odin steppe, and for so many years, the Byron Alliance has been implementing an economic blockade on it, even if Archduke Cedric opened a border trade with the Odin orcs in the past year, it is mainly based on living materials, and iron tools are still strictly controlled.

The Theodin Empire is better, and the Cummins will smuggle some from them from the sea.

And the East Odin Empire, which was blocked inland, was not so lucky.

Their main source of iron was the raids they launched against the Byronic League in the south.

The East Odin Empire has been weak in the past twenty years, not to mention large-scale border breaking, and even the number of large-scale southern invasions is only a handful.

Iron tools are even more scarce, to the point that more than a dozen people share a cleaver, and dozens of people share a broken iron pot, let alone build iron weapons.

Obviously, most of those who were driven to the front were from the lowest level of the East Odin Empire.

Only a very small number of Odin orcs who are eager to make meritorious contributions or boast of their bravery are mixed in this cannon fodder, wanting to take the opportunity to make immortal achievements.

The only thing Odin orcs can rely on at this moment is the number of people, outside the city wall where the Broken Pulse Defense Line is easy to attack, the black pressure is clustered, and there is no strength in sight.

It's like the Odin orcs on the entire Odin steppe, all gathered here.

In stark contrast are the broken soldiers on the Broken Pulse Line.

There were no impassioned slogans, only silent silence, whether it was the transports hurrying through the walls, or the soldiers who were ready to meet the onslaught.

Because when they come to break the line of defense, voluntarily or involuntarily, they know what they are facing in the future.

They are stationed here, saying that they are for their homeland, for the sake of their clansmen, and that it is more real to live.

They knew very well what tragic fate awaited Odin orcs once they broke the border.

It is good to become the other party's herdsman, but it is more a tool for the other party to release the beast.

That's right.

Over the past year, Broken Blood Fortress has indeed opened its borders to trade with the Orcs of Odin.

The Orcs seemed to be keeping to themselves, following the trade rules set by the Broken Blood Keep.

That's just the side of Odin's orcs, the side that is revealed in the face of the absolute force of the Broken Blood Keep.

When they have absolute force, they will unleash another side of themselves.

The word beast in the title of Odin orcs does not only refer to the animal characteristics on their bodies, but also to the beastly nature buried in their blood.

This is the experience accumulated by the Broken Vein soldiers in dealing with the Orcs of Odin for more than 300 years, and it is a lesson that has been exchanged for blood and life.

On the battlefield, you must not be soft on the Odin orcs, otherwise you will be cruel to yourself.

The level of training is even more incomparable.

After the Broken Pulse soldiers are sent to the Broken Pulse Defense Line, they will first be sent to the Broken Blood Fort for a period of six months to a year of formal military training, and then assigned to garrison in various places.

I don't dare to relax on weekdays, and there will be a week of training every month.

If it was placed in other territories, this kind of daily training would have been slowly relaxed.

However, a strict ruler like Archduke Cedric often led people to inspect the defense lines in various places in person, and no one dared to slack off.

It was indeed very hard in peacetime, but when it came time to face the war, they had to thank Archduke Cedric for his dedication to his duties.

It is not for nothing that the Broken Vein Soldier is famous all over the world, in addition to merit, there is also a lot of sweat during training.

The equipment may be a little worse, and the armor on many people's bodies is tinkered, and the styles are also varied.

In the past year, although the finances of the Broken Blood Fort have been much more abundant, the base of the Broken Pulse soldiers is too large, and it is not possible to do it in a short time and a half if you want to fully change your outfit, after all, this involves not only financial resources, but also productivity problems.

But it's not completely unchanged.

On a large section of the city wall, there are more or less more city defense equipment.

This is the work of the Eternal Night Lord.

Over the past year, the Eternal Night Leader has launched a full-scale military cooperation with the Broken Blood Keep.

The Eternal Night Commander sent a military staff subdivision led by a main chief of military staff to help them improve their command structure.

On the other hand, the Eternal Night Warlord's best sappers are the best.

War equipment such as ballistas and catapults are already semi-obsolete.

But in the Broken Pulse Defense Line, they are still synonymous with advancement.

Not only were the products eliminated by the Eternal Night Army Leader half sold and half given away in large quantities, and transported to the Broken Pulse Defense Line.

Under the technology supported by the Eternal Night Army, local materials are used and manufactured in large quantities.

This is its biggest advantage over artillery, and the manufacturing process is not difficult, especially when the border trade was opened last year, and the cowhide and cowhide tendons of Odin orcs poured in.

This is a great choice for making crossbow strings and slings, and with these, you can use them as a slingshot by clamping two pieces of wood together and tying them together.

Fort Hukou.

It got its name from the shape that resembles a tiger's mouth.

This place is one hundred and twenty kilometers away from the Broken Blood Fortress, which is a very important pass.

The terrain where this pass is located is not so treacherous, and it also allows the Orcs of Odin to pour in on a medium scale.

Every time the Odin orcs attack, Hukou Fort is basically a must-attack location, and the intensity of wartime is often above the Broken Blood Fort.

Because of the limited terrain, the scale of Hukou Fort is far less than that of the Broken Blood Fort, and it can only allow 2,000 people to be stationed permanently, even if it is to strengthen the defense, it is difficult to fit 5,000 people here.

There is no shortage of wise men among the Odin orcs, opening the gap from the side, sending elites, and detouring behind the Broken Blood Castle, the tactics of attacking from both sides are still understood.

This time was no exception.

As soon as the army of the Theodin Empire arrived, a detachment of troops rushed over and set up camp outside Hukou Fort.

The cowhide tent unique to the Orcs of Odin, with no end in sight.

The number of this partial army is no less than 50,000, dozens of times the number of soldiers who defend the city, which shows how strong the Orcs of Odin are.

Jemil, a member of the soldiers guarding the city of Hukou Fort, couldn't help but frequently stick out his head and peek at the movement outside the city wall.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do that. A soldier not far from Jemil said lazily.

Jemiller looked back and saw that it was Jim, who was on his team.

This is a veteran of a hundred battles who has been rolling in the Broken Pulse Defense Line for more than 30 years, and he has already become a centurion, but when the border trade was opened last year, because he couldn't let go of the hatred in his heart, he maliciously caused trouble after drinking, and took the opportunity to behead two Odin orcs in a row, injuring no less than seven people.

Although he was not sentenced to death afterwards, he was pushed to the end and sent to the border.

However, they themselves were at the border pass, so they just changed from the original garrison point to Hukou Fort and finished the matter.

The Broken Blood Castle doesn't really want to uphold justice for the Odin orcs, but it just doesn't want to fuel this trend, scare away all the Odin orcs who came to trade, raise it high, make a gesture, and then compensate for some of the materials, so that those parties can shut up and settle the matter.

I believe that with Jim's ability, as long as the war is together, the accumulation of military merits, it is only a matter of minutes to rise again, and now the war has come.

Jamil humbly asked, "Uncle Jim, why can't you do this? If you don't observe, what will happen to those brutal orcs?"

"As soon as you hear it, you know the recruit's argument, boy, since you came to the Broken Pulse Defense, you haven't fought with those brutes outside the city walls. Veteran Jim tossed a piece of beef jerky into his mouth and chewed on it, glancing at Jamil with a half-squinted eye.

Jemiller saw that there was a play, and hurriedly handed over his treasured wine from his arms and said: "Don't hide it from Uncle, although I have been at the border for three years, I need to go to the city to defend, it is really the first time, you know, in the past few years, those orcs have been so cowardly, we are going to the grassland to bully them, there is no chance for them to fight, I didn't expect the other party to be ruthless as soon as he made a move, but there is no bottom in his heart, can the uncle teach the life-saving experience, as long as he can get through, this kind of wine, I asked the uncle to drink it openly." ”

Smelling the aroma of wine, Jim's eyes lit up, and he took it unceremoniously, took a sip of praise and said: "There is wine and meat, this day is too much, I didn't expect that your kid still has a bit of a family background, Lao Tzu I have trouble getting this kind of good thing now." ”

"That's because Uncle Jim's waist is too straight, and he is unwilling to make peace with those orcs in the past year, otherwise with Uncle's ability, this armor on his body would have been replaced with a brand new one. Jemiller complimented him heartily, "I won't be able to, I know that I am cowardly and incapable of fighting, so I can only drill into this area and try to jump out of this." ”

"You kid really should be a merchant, not a soldier. The veteran Jim agreed, "For the sake of this pot of wine, I will instruct you two tricks, just now I didn't let you show your head casually, I don't want to see you die in vain, those beasts outside the city, especially among the wolf clan, there are many good archers, if you are targeted by one of the sharpshooters with good bows, you don't know how to die when the time comes, as for the observation lookout, it is a matter of the lookout post, if they hit, someone will naturally notify you, before that, what you need to do is to raise enough strength, huh." ”

Jim took out a handful of beef jerky from his bosom and threw it to Jemil and said: "If you feel impetuous, calm down, chew this, it can help you soothe it, and at the same time help you replenish your strength, the other party has a large number of people, and when the fight starts, but endlessly, there may not be a chance to eat, although your wine is good, but at this time, it is still this kind of thing, use it back your wine, you kid is not a loss." ”
