Lately, Marin's luck seems to have been good. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 InfoNo, shortly after Columbus returned, Draca also returned from the Canary Islands, and brought back good news.

Because after Ben arrived in the Canary Islands, he stuffed a bag of gold coins into Baron Sandro, the controller of the Canary Islands, so Baron Sandro was very concerned about this matter.

However, Baron Sandro did not contact the Vatas dynasty of Fez. This was because the Wattas dynasty had completely lost control over Morocco in the southern part of the Atlas Mountains.

It is now the Saad tribe that controls the area south of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. The Laayoune region is also one of the vassals of the Saad tribe.

Therefore, it is better to talk to the Fezian court, which has lost control, than to talk to the Saad tribe who dominate the south. So, Baron Sandro sent someone to contact the chief of the Saad tribe, Abu. Abdullah. Kaim, to discuss the purchase of the Laayoune region.

Abu. Abdullah. Qayim (the founder of the Saad dynasty) was puzzled as to why Marin had bought the small oasis of Laayoune. Moreover, Marin's name also made Abu. Abdullah. Kaim was shocked. Because, now the Vatas dynasty in Morocco is informed, but it is a branch of the Marin dynasty. Of course, it was a shock. After all, Marin is European and has nothing to do with Berbers.

During the secret negotiations, Draqa naturally followed the "script" designed by Marin, and said in a serious way that he wanted to buy a batch of Arabian horses and raise them here, intending to build this place into a horse breeding base.

Abu. Abdullah. Kaim felt a little amused that Laayoune's situation, he knew. There is only a long oasis lake over there, and only the edge of the oasis lake has pastures, which are suitable for grazing. More than 10 kilometers from Oasis Lake is the desert area. Strictly speaking, the Oasis of Laayoune, in the middle of the main control area of the Saad tribe, is separated by the desert.

So, Abu. Abdullah. Kaim also doesn't think very highly of Laayoune. In fact, the Laayoune tribe is not a branch of the Saad, but a small tribe attached to them. This tribe, with a population of more than 4,000 and about 1,000 cavalry, is not strong, but not weak either. Moreover, they do not make many offerings to the Saad family every year, only a few dozen sheep.

When Drakar cautiously offered to buy Laayoune for 10,000 gold coins, Abu. Abdullah. Kaim was immediately moved......

That night, Abu. Abdullah. Religious leader of the Qa'em and Saad tribes (Sharif) Muhammad. Ibn . Abdu. Rahman deliberated.

It just so happened that the Saad tribe was now also gathering strength and wanted to create a rebellion against the Vatas dynasty. So, they finally agreed to Draka's offer.

At the same time, however, they made an additional condition that Marin would sell them a large number of iron ingots privately every year......

Obviously, this iron ingot was used by the Saad tribe to craft weapons. In North Africa, iron tools are also very valuable. Because, there is no iron produced in the region. Even if there was iron, it was in the hands of the Vatas dynasty.

The Arab cavalry is very simple, as long as a war horse, a white robe, and a scimitar, you can play it. For them, the Arab scimitar is a weapon. However, to build a scimitar, it takes iron. The Saad tribe lives in the barren lands of the southern Moroccan mountains, and only the Souss River valley is relatively rich. As a result, they are also iron deficient. If Marin had agreed to sell them iron every year, they would have agreed......

So, Draka hurried back to the ship and asked Marin......

In addition, Abu. Abdullah. Kaim also told Drakqa that the Laayoune clan was only their vassal, not a subordinate. So, the Saad tribe sold Laayoune to Marin. However, Marin needs to send his own troops to conquer this tribe......

Marin cursed in his heart, but he didn't feel anything. After all, a small tribe of 4,000 people, if you can't handle it, it will be too frustrating. Moreover, this tribe is a tribe in the desert, and there is no place to escape. Because, leaving the oasis lake of Laayoune, they all died of thirst...... Moreover, to the north were the Saadians who had sold them, and to the south and east were deserts. Even if you escape, it's a dead end......

And, it just so happened that Marin thought that the output of his own steel plant was too high, and there was nowhere to sell it. Since the people of the Saad tribe want to buy it, then sell it.

As for whether the Saadians will turn around and recapture Laayoune when they become stronger? Marin said he ignored it completely. Because, after getting the Laayoune area, he will send people in Laayoune, with reinforced concrete, to build a strong small city, not afraid of the Moroccans to attack. Moreover, because this area is located by the sea, Marin can send ships to support at any time, and it is no problem to support it for as long as it wants......

It just so happened that Marin also wanted to test the combat effectiveness of the lancers, who had been training in the Teutonic country for several months. Therefore, Marin planned to pull the 1,000 lancers to Laayoune and fight with the other party's 1,000 tribal cavalry.

If you win, everyone will be happy. If even a third-rate unit such as tribal cavalry cannot be defeated, then the training of lancers and wall charges has failed......

As for the question of the dead, Marin did not think about it. It's a big deal, pay some pensions. Moreover, these wandering knights recruited from the Teutonic country are actually unlucky people who have been driven out of their homes. Even if Marin wants to pay the pension, he doesn't know who to give it to......

As a result, Marin quickly settled down and agreed to the conditions put forward by the Saad tribe. Then, he began to prepare the soldiers and horses, and sent ships to the Teutonic country to pull the soldiers to the Canary Islands. Then, land in Laayoune and kill the Laayoune tribe on the shores of Lake Laayoune Oasis.

Even, in order to give the other party a chance to react, Marin planned to let the enemy cavalry gather and then let the lancers launch a wall charge. He wants to see if the wall charge is as bullish as it is said on the Internet......

However, arranging for soldiers and horses to fight in Laayoune is a very complicated matter. Because, if you want to station troops in the Canary Islands, you must ask for the consent of the Spanish crown.

For this reason, Marin had to send someone to apply to the Spanish kings for this. Also, to transport 1,000 lancers and their horses to the Canary Islands and to transport them to land in Laayoune, it also takes a lot of ships......

In short, there is still a lot of preparation work in this. When the preparations were complete, Marin decided to personally lead his troops and horses over to conquer the small tribe.

In order to ensure safety, Marin decided to bring another 1000 infantry with him. In this way, even if the lancers failed, he, under the protection of the infantry, would be able to retreat with his whole body and calmly retreat on the battleship and leave......

However, this is unlikely. Because, the probability of victory for the lancers is very high. Moreover, he decided to bring veterans from the 1000 infantry with him for protection. As long as the opponent dares to charge, his own infantry can defeat the opponent. After all, the opponent is only a tribal cavalry of a militia nature, not a regular cavalry......
