The military operation launched by the witch clan led by Iona has solved a series of troubles for Sig like a god soldier from the sky, which has made him feel extremely good these days! Peacefully resolving the affairs of the Ural Grand Canyon, without causing extraneous complications, without losing face and dignity, is the most perfect thing for the Fifth Army Corps, and now Higg can finally shift his strategic focus to dealing with Arad, and the first thing to solve is the strategic preparation of logistics and materials.

The trade route has been opened, which is much easier to do, most of the military workshops can be moved to the workshop of the witch clan to solve, not only can the men of the witch clan have something to do, but also relieve the pressure of the dilapidated and unfrequented military workshop in Orlando Province, the base camp of the Fifth Legion, and it is much better to pull the finished products of military supplies directly into their own base camp than to pull raw materials.

Halando's supplies can be brought in through the Gran Fortress, but this will require greeting the defenders of the Gran Fortress! This matter, Higg did not intend to do it himself, but let the mercenary leader Gnarda solve it himself, after all, it was easier to do it as a barbarian, especially in this tense situation.

The witch's Donindo City has Daniel in charge, Hig is very relieved, what he wants to pay attention to now is the batch of materials from Harando, mainly war horses, as long as all the war horses of the Fifth Legion are replaced with the steppe war horses provided by the Harandor tribe, he can completely overpower Arad in the cavalry, because the war horses of Alasia are far inferior to the steppe war horses in terms of strength and endurance, this time, Xige wants to go to the Harandor tribe in person, one is to help Zartai solve the current crisis, and the other is to get more excellent war horses.

The problem of funds, with Lan Xian'er sitting in Fuxing City, he doesn't have to worry about it, with Lan Xian'er's ability, he can always come up with a way.

"Lord Marshal, I really can't figure it out, the barbarian country has caused us such a big trouble, such a good opportunity, why did we let them go?" Simak was very dissatisfied with the peaceful settlement of the 200,000 people in the Ural Grand Canyon, not only him, but also many people in the army were puzzled.

"Marshal Simmak, this is not the same as in the past, the Fifth Army no longer needs to kill many enemies to prove itself!" Higg said, "We don't have to dwell too much on this issue, our ultimate goal is Arad, as long as we can focus all our energy on Arad, the affairs of the barbarians will be put aside for a while, they have already paid the price for their arrogance, for the sake of our ultimate strategic goal, it is always good to be tolerant!" Marshal Simmak, in the future, when dealing with military affairs, we can no longer look at the problem from a purely military point of view, we must look farther and think farther, military action is only a means, and political goals are our goals and tasks. Killing these 200,000 people will only plunge us into an endless vortex of war, from which we cannot get out of the quagmire of the battlefield in the north, why should we provoke an enemy that we don't want to provoke now?! On the contrary, if these 200,000 people are spared, Arad will be suspicious, thinking that we have reached an alliance with the barbarian country, and he will have to guard against not only us, but also every move of the barbarian country! Hmph, Arad, now that we are grasshoppers after autumn, this time we must be fully prepared for pre-war deployment, and I will wipe out the Guanzhong Plain in one fell swoop! ”

"Lord Marshal has such a big breath, hehehe!" Simak smiled with relief, "Since the Marshal has handed over the military command to me to do the logistics and combat preparations myself, I also promise the Marshal that as long as there is money, food and materials, I will dare to give it to the Marshal Crodina City, hahaha!" However, I really don't understand how the marshal managed to solve the threat of the barbarian country without knowing it! ”

"Hehe, it's all tears when you talk too much, it's better for you to be a little confused, you don't have so many worries!" Higg smiled, "In addition to the supplies provided by the Harando Grassland, you give Daniel the list of war materials you need, and ask him to ask the lady of Fuxing City directly for money, and Daniel will naturally send you a steady stream of military supplies." I'm going to take a trip to Harlando to solve the problem of war horses! At present, there are less than 20,000 war horses in Swan Lake, and at least 30,000 are needed to form the most elite cavalry to sweep across the Guanzhong Plain. ”

"But, even if you are leaving, how can we get in and out of Swan Lake, Mr. Lufa doesn't seem to be very good at it?" Simak said in surprise.

"I plan to send all the supplies, war horses, and soldiers in Swan Lake to Bobo Hua City, and Ulin will start training new cavalry to adapt to the new war horses!" "Now that our superiority in the repeater is not as obvious as it used to be, Aradd's army has begun to master this technology and promote it throughout the army!" Although their repeater crossbow chariots are not as advanced as ours, they are absolutely supreme weapons to deal with our infantry and cavalry, and it is really a headache! Repeater chariot, this is really a double-edged sword! There is not much advantage on the crossbow chariot, so we will make a fuss from the cavalry! ”

"What about the hundred Paladin Legion soldiers?" Simak asked in surprise, "This legion can't be exposed yet, if it is sent out of Swan Lake, the enemy will definitely be able to detect it!" ”

"I'm going to go to Harandor with these hundred paladins!" "One is to do a real battle test, and the other is to help Zartai and Thomas!" ”

"It turns out that the marshal has already made arrangements, but I am too worried!" Simak said, "Ever since we returned to the Bobohua City base camp, Arad has been frantically locking us down, and we've been cowered in a few big cities, and we've been so embarrassed! Since the Marshal has made up his mind to solve the problem of Arad, our whole army will give it their full support! The marshal is right, fighting on the plains is none other than cavalry! So, I want the best cavalry, the best war horses! ”

……

It was the height of summer again, and in the Herson Meadows, the stronghold of the Harandor tribe, Hig used the Returning City Technique to deliver a hundred paladins and five hundred boxes of gold coins.

This grassland is very different from three years ago, Zartai did not live up to the gift of this grassland, not only subdued the last tribal force of this grassland - the Nalan tribe, but also united many small tribes around to fight against the bullying of the big families on the grassland, the Harando tribe has become the leader of the alliance of small tribes around the Elsun grassland, after several times of resistance to those big family forces, the more courageous they are, but at the same time they have also attracted the attention of the major forces.

"Lord Higg!" The elders of the Harandor tribe knew Higg, and they were very happy to see Higg's arrival, and stepped forward to salute and said, "The eagle of the grassland, coming to our Harandor tribe again, will make the Harandor tribe bathe in warm sunshine every day, no wonder so many birds are singing in the sky above the Harandor tribe outside this morning!" ”

"Where are Patriarch Zartai and Thomas?" Higg didn't have time to make small talk with the old men and asked.

"The patriarch and the young patriarch have already led the troops to set off more than twenty days ago, and even the young lady has followed!" The elder said.

"Are there going to be wars again?" Higg asked, surprised.

"It's been going to war for the past two years!" The elder said, "This time, it was the Gonaya tribe who slaughtered a small family in the tribal alliance, and even women and children were spared!" The patriarch led the nomadic cavalry of the tribal alliance to the Gonaya tribe to ask for an explanation, and I heard that there have been several encounters! ”

"The Gonaya?"

"The Gonaya tribe is one of the largest families in the western grasslands of the barbarian country, with hundreds of thousands of nomadic cavalry, relying on their own strong strength, controlling a large area of grassland!" The elder said, "The patriarch is going this time, I'm afraid there will be a lot of bad luck!" The Tribal Alliance only has more than 50,000 nomadic cavalry, and not all of them want to fight the Gonaya tribe, everyone has their own ghosts, and we are really worried about the safety of the patriarch! Fortunately, the territory controlled by the Gonaya tribe is too large, and the troops are not all concentrated together, and the patriarch takes a fancy to this and intends to carry out a retaliatory strike against the various branches of the Gonaya, which can be regarded as a warning to the Gonaya tribe! ”

"Where is Zartai's army now?" Higg asked.

The elder did not answer immediately, but looked at Higg with a surprised gaze before he said, "This is the grassland, who can tell where the patriarch is?" Even if I know which area it is now, the nomadic cavalry does not stay in one place, and it is difficult for me to answer this question from Lord Higg! ”

Only then did Higg suddenly remember that this was not Erathia, but the prairie, and finding a nomadic cavalry on the prairie was like looking for a needle in a haystack. The living habits of the steppe peoples are completely different from those of the farming peoples, and even the base camp of the tribe often changes places due to the change of seasons, let alone a cavalry. Besides, there is no road on the grassland, which is completely different from Aracia, from one place to another, in Aracia you can only follow the road, but on the grassland, as long as the direction is not wrong, how you go, as long as you make a slight correction at the end, you can always reach the destination!

However, the base camps of some big families are fixed, in order to make it easy for their branches and tribes to find their base camps, and they can notify the base camp at any time if there is a situation.

Higg, who couldn't cry or laugh, was a little frustrated, and had come to find Zartai and Thomas, but he couldn't even see a single figure, which was really annoying, so he had to say embarrassedly: "Elder, don't blame, I really forgot about this!" Since the whereabouts of the patriarch are unknown, I want to ask the clan for a guide to the Gonaya base camp! ”

"To the tribal territory of the Gonaya?" The elder glared at Higg again in amazement and asked, "What are you going to do, my lord?" ”

Higg smiled: "I want to travel in that direction, there is always a better chance of meeting the Zartai patriarch, instead of waiting here to die, it is better to go out and try your luck!" ”

"Alright, I'll arrange a guide for you!" The elder shook his head, as if he was puzzled by Hig's behavior, it was better to wait for someone to find someone on the grassland, Zartai would return here sooner or later, looking for a needle in a haystack, and it was really unwise.

"Elder, I want to trouble you with one more thing!" Higg didn't wait for the elder to walk away before continuing.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to change these 100 cavalrymen into the outfit of the Harandor tribe, and match them with the banner of the Harandor tribe!" Higg said.

"It's easy to do!" The elder said that changing into the costume of a nomadic cavalry on the grassland is indeed conducive to the march, and the hundred-person alien costume of Higg is dangling on the grassland, so it must attract the attention of others!
