The First Arrival Chapter 56 Aimikiki Mountains
The name of this mountain range is Aimikichi.
This mountain range is not low at altitude and is close to Vecchia, where it is covered with snow all year round. It is a place that is inaccessible, but there are still people who are willing to take risks and come here to make a fortune.
Halfway up the mountain, in a relatively flat place, dozens of rows of houses could be faintly seen, and several caves were faintly lit with red light. The sound of steel clashing continued. A man and a woman gasped and sat by a fire to rest.
The man's face was covered with a mixture of dust and snowflakes, and there was a scar on the left side of his face with scarring marks, but it was difficult to heal itself in this weather. He looked at his calloused hands, then into the depths of the cave, and wiped his face. He was strong, his biceps and triceps were like a beating heart, constantly expanding outward, and yes, in this bitter cold, he only wore a short cloth coat. The long-term exertion had long since made him forget the cold.
"02, can we still hold on?" The man whispered with a sad face.
"Of course, 01, dear, we can, as long as we finish these jobs, we will be liberated, and we will be able to ......" She put her hand on the man's hand.
"What are we going to live?" The man lost his temper.
"I haven't delivered food for a few days, it's just better to live than to die." The man's movements are exaggerated, but his voice is weak.
She stood up to wipe the tears from the corners of the man's eyes.
"Get out of the way." The man broke free of her hand, seemed to use all his strength, and staggered out of the cave.
She fell to the ground.
"Come back, stop, come back......" she said hoarsely.
The man was indifferent.
"You don't think about you, you think about our children." She raised her voice.
The man stopped.
There was silence, except for the sound of the cold wind passing by, only the sobs of the two of them.
The man fell to his knees, tears dripping down in large chunks, melting the snow and ice on the surface.
For a long time, the man still knelt in place, not moving a step, he looked at the sky, and then at the ground, his expression numb.
"If we can only survive one of the two, please survive well." Her faint voice appeared in the man's ear.
The man smelled a thick smell of blood, and he turned his head in shock to see the woman's left hand covered with blood.
"What are you doing?" The man panicked and tried to help her up.
She grabbed the man's hand, and with surprising strength, she slowly raised her head, and under the messy hair was a face as ashen as death, and her eyes were bloodshot.
"Stay alive ......"
The man kept shaking his head, he understood what she meant. This fresh, hot human blood had a great temptation for him. How could a dignified seven-foot man do such a thing.
But he did, and he was attracted by the blood that kept pouring out, and he leaned down and licked a few drops on the ground, like a stray dog receiving handouts.
The sound of horses' hooves woke the man.
"Hurry up, hurry up, something is going to happen." The leader urged.
This army of about 100 men carried several wagons of grain up the hill in a customary manner.
Seeing a pool of blood at the entrance of the cave, the leader panicked.
"I have suffered, a slave has died, ten dinars one, ouch ouch, I hope there will be fewer deaths......"
The first thing that caught my eye was the man who had collapsed to the ground.
"Go, let's see, if there's still gas."
A man stepped forward to inspect for a while and shook his head.
"Ouch, I shouldn't have drunk that little wine, I'm starving to death again, where am I going to find labor."
"My lord, although he is weak, he is not starving."
"That's?"
"He killed himself by biting his tongue."
This is an ordinary story of two people, codenamed 01 and 02, and a true portrayal of thousands of mines in Calradia.
"Go and bury them." Yi grabbed a handful of snow and wiped it on his face.
Yi has already eliminated this den. Looking at the so-called grain delivery team tied to the side, I had the idea of cutting off their heads. But everyone knows that they are just thugs, and the real boss has not yet surfaced.
The scale of this mine is not large, there are only about 200 miners, as for why it is mined in the middle of the mountain in the winter, maybe the quality of the ore dug up in this way is better. Yi's arrival did not liberate these miners, he had his own ideas.
He decided to buy the place so that he could store a lot of resources in case he needed it.
He had Fatis neatly write a letter and put the convoy in the hands of their boss.
Whether the other party agrees or not, this place is a return to Yiye.
Yi Ye killed a few big fat pigs he brought, and improved the food for these workers, and everyone applauded, saying that Yi Ye was the most generous boss they had ever seen. Yi Ye touched the back of his head, a little embarrassed.
Not only that, Yi Ye also brought them cotton coats that were warm enough. At least in terms of food and clothing, these miners don't have to worry, but unfortunately, the couple was not rescued.
It is said that the couple went to work in the mine to raise money for the medical expenses of their sick child, and after several setbacks, they were sold here.
December Fort Radogir
The owner of the castle, Muleza, was meeting guests in the hall of the lord.
In winter, the icy Calradia is the world of Vecchia. Vekia has begun its last conscription and has begun its expansion.
Mureza is struggling with this, this small town in the woods can't afford to hire people with too high salaries, so the army is far from meeting the standards of the expedition. Fort Radogir is guarded at the foot of the Emicichi Mountains, and has been guarding the southwestern frontier of the kingdom, due to the peculiarity of the geographical location, it rarely experiences wars, and there are few resources here, so it may have to be taken down. In addition, the roads are not smooth and there is little trade with foreign countries, which determines the economic and cultural backwardness of this castle.
Yi Ye brought almost five hundred people into the city. The number of people is not large, but if you are here, you can call it a big customer. According to the rules here, five hundred people are paid almost two thousand dinars, which looks pretty good, but Yi Ye's troops are no longer as good as before, and the quality of the army has improved a lot, and two thousand dinars are not even enough for one month's salary, not to mention that these two thousand are the remuneration for a three-month contract. If you don't make something, you will only lose money.
It is said that Muleza has only recruited a little more than 1,000 troops in the past few months, plus his own troops, it is only about 2,000 people, and the addition of Yi Ye has increased Muleza's troops by a quarter, and if the quality of the army is counted, it will only be higher.
Although Muleza was still quite young, he could estimate the price from the quality and equipment of these soldiers, and he knew that he was making a fortune. However, it also has the advantage that Yi Ye can have the qualifications to talk alone with the lord.
"Welcome to you, Yi Ye." Mureza sat in the main seat of the lord's hall.
Yi Ye bowed his head slightly to show respect.
"I'm honored."
"I've heard of your name for a long time."
"Oh, I don't think I'm famous."
"As the champion of the Atlético Kulau, you have beaten Vdra Tepoye and injured Taisha Poye, do you still think you are ordinary?"
"My lord laughed, but this Taishaboye, I really fought a formal duel with him, and I didn't do anything."
"You don't have to worry about this, we all know what Taisha is, and the person he framed and wanted can't finish writing a street."
Yi Ye nodded.
"If you do something, this little thing is not enough to see."
"Yes."
"Let's get down to business, the kingdom's targets on this expedition are Fort Ruud and Fort Tilbert, which are located in the southwest and southeast of the Emicich Mountains, respectively. And I was assigned to attack Rudborg, do you know what that means? ”
"What?"
"We're going to face the Nords' axes, their brute strength."
"So what?"
"Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm really not afraid." Yi Ye is really not afraid.
"Very well, I appreciate you."
"Let's talk about our plan, we are fighting with Volderat, Rodra, Maliga, Javier and other ten boys, according to our usual way of attacking, first use a large amount of arrows to consume the city, and then use the big shield to absorb most of the damage of the axe, in order to capture the castle with the lowest casualties. Do you have any thoughts on this? ”
"Perfect plan, I can hardly fault it, I have no objections."
"Although winter is a strong time for our kingdom, it does not mean that we will succeed, and at this point in time, countries will always secretly deploy a large number of troops to counter-encircle, so that the situation will be reversed." Mureza said, pulling out a map.
"Look here." His fingers slid from the western edge of the Emmicich Mountains to the side of a river.
"If the Nords were to defend along this river, we would have cut off our back route, and we would have to go around the hill and back from the direction of Zhivadin. This will not only cost people and money, but may even be counterattacked during this interval. Muleza took a sip of tea.
"That's true." Yi Ye looked at this map and was fascinated.
"In that case, we're going to need a lot of intelligence." Yi Ye continued.
"Exactly. By the way, invite your soldiers to a restaurant northeast of the city in the evening, and I'll invite you. Muleza behaved enthusiastically.
"Thank you so much."
Even if the money for this meal is counted, Yi Ye still loses blood.
It was not too far from Rudburg, and it was enough time to attack it for two or three days, and it was important to know the situation of the opponent, and if you could get some useful information, it might be able to determine the success or failure of the battle. According to the lord, I'm afraid he didn't know that the Amikiki Mountains could go up. Take advantage of this and maybe get a good effect.
The snowflakes were still fluttering, and it seemed that they would not stop dyeing every part of Calradia pure white. There are signs of freezing in the rivers everywhere, and when the ice is thick enough, there will be many more places out of thin air, and then I am afraid that there will be another bloody storm.
