Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Khan's Strategy

"Khan...... This is what left the Norsland fellow?" asked the robed minister as he exited the hall.

No one could leave alive in front of the Khan so rudely, and the steppe warriors who were shocked by the crossbow also looked at it at this moment, and just waited for the Khan's order to rush out and cut Haibur.

But the Khan waved his hand and commanded, "Come, drag the body out of me...... Let's wait a little longer and then don't go west and raid the desert kingdom of Haruz for the time being. ”

"Are we just giving in?," the robed minister frowned, and asked with some reluctance.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal. Seru Khan snorted coldly, then looked at his confidant minister and asked, "Who do we have the greatest enmity with? ”

"When our ancestors, 300,000 armored iron horsemen went south, what was the result? The heavy knights and various magic equipment of the Delman Empire easily shattered our dream of becoming the Delman Empire. Seru Khan slowly walked back to his throne and reached out to stroke the carving of the wolf's head on it.

He turned around, looked at his generals and ministers, and continued to ask, "You all think that we should not give in, but I ask you, my warriors...... Do we still have the courage to go south and conquer the Delman Empire?"

After asking this question, the generals who were clamoring just now that they could not let go of the Kingdom of Norsland all bowed their heads.

The picture of the magic crystal cannon spewing flames and shelling the steppe cavalry was still painted on the four walls of this hall, how dare they forget the despair and fear that were deeply rooted in their bones and blood?

"Since we've already succumbed, why can't we give in one more time?" Seru Khan sneered, his voice echoing throughout the hall: "If the Kingdom of Norsland is willing to trade with us and provide us with the necessities of life, what else are we going to loot?"

"If they can't keep their promises, how much more will we delay if we rob them again?" he said, sitting back on his throne, "so we just have to wait, for a king worthy of our trust to appear, or for a treacherous stupid pig to show his flaws." ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" the robed minister bent down and praised: "We just have to wait, if the Delman Empire is not stupid, it will definitely clash with this Norsland Kingdom, and the contradictions between them are irreconcilable, and we are only on the side of those who benefit us!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" all the generals and ministers bowed down and praised loudly: "Long live the Khan!"

In the midst of this mountain of cheers, the Khan of Seru narrowed his eyes. He knew that he was gambling on whether the Kingdom of Norsland really had the courage and strength to change the order of this world.

If the Norsland Kingdom really succeeds, he doesn't mind helping the Norsland Kingdom and borrowing the power of the Norsland Kingdom to eliminate the Delman Empire, the sworn enemy of the Steppe Kingdom. If the Kingdom of Norsland fails, he doesn't mind continuing to plunder westward and return to his old job in the Steppe Kingdom.

As for whether he will sit back and watch the rise of the Norsland Kingdom, he really doesn't care about this matter at all. This rising kingdom of Norsland will definitely clash with the Delman Empire in the south, and it will be clear which is stronger and which is weaker at that time.

The worst result is that the Kingdom of Norsland defeats the Delman Empire, and the Kingdom of Takurut will ally with the Kingdom of Norsland in advance, and there will be nothing to lose...... This is the real strategy of a monarch, and his decision-making must be based on the maximization of interests.

Outside the main hall, Haibur, who did not look back, held his chin high and walked towards the hotel with his entourage. He knew that this time he had completed his mission, and it was no longer possible for the Kingdom of Kurut to threaten the west of the Kingdom of Norsland.

Once the dumping begins, countless supplies will pour into the grasslands, completely destroying the already fragile economy here. Eventually, it will become a raw material supply base, supplying the Kingdom of Norsland with wool and cotton, and there will be no more trouble.

And the developed Norsland Kingdom will only have more and more weapons and equipment, and it will get better and better, and the 100,000 cavalry that the Kurut Kingdom is proud of will only dissipate in the dust of history in the end.

"Wait! We'll be back soon......" Hybble smiled knowingly as she remembered her new country. At that time, he really didn't think that he would become a foreign secretary today.

"Kill!" On the training ground, thousands of soldiers who have just been in the army for a month are practicing their fighting skills. Because of the urgency of time, their combat skills are trained together with skills such as alignment formations.

Unlike at the beginning, this time because of the thorough preparation, each soldier was equipped with a sword and shield, as well as a helmet and armor, and looked very heroic.

They all wore the unique Norslan helmets, stood under the scorching sun, sweating with round shields made of wood, and stabbed forward with their swords again and again. Their combat moves are very simple, with only blocking and assassination, which is coherent and easy to master.

Although many of the rank and file commanders believed that the possibility of an enemy melee attack was low with the Crossbow equipped, the melee training was retained, and even more strengthened at Ragnar's suggestion.

At the shooting training ground at the other end, soldiers who have been in the army for more than three months have to undergo crossbow shooting training every day. This was the best training that King Gravel could prepare for these recruits, and the craftsmen were working overtime every day to produce more and more crossbows.

Originally, more than 1,000 people were required for shooting training, but now that the Kingdom of Norsland has expanded to 3,000 crossbowmen, this is a huge pressure on the craftsmen who have just achieved production.

According to the plan of King Gravel, Holf Wood and Bevman Watson, the Kingdom of Norsland should form 20,000 hoplites, 5,000 hoplites, at least 100 magic crystal cannons, and about 8,000 crossbowmen.

In addition, in order to deal with the threat of the Delman Empire, in addition to training consumed crossbow arrows, it is necessary to reserve crossbow arrows for possible war. According to King Gravel's conservative estimate, he had to stock up on a large number of crossbow bolts at least before going to war with the Delman Empire.
