Chapter 214: Chaos Strikes
Turn victory into victory, and then turn the fruits of victory into your own capital. Martin's steps are fast and steady.
While Karna was still in the mire of civil war on the Rick Empire, Martin had transformed into a super archduke who controlled three provinces.
Even the letter sent by Karna had a clear envy.
"Go for it, Martin, maybe you can control two more provinces and you will be qualified to become the next Empress Rick's royal husband. ”
For this, Martin is smiling and even hauling.
At some point, Martin has become a character who is qualified to be an equal to Karna.
At the end of the day, it seems that Karna will become the next empress. It seems that this matter is only to brag.
Rick's empire is huge.
In addition to the three archdukes vying for the throne, there are a large number of neutral dukes, as well as nearly ten border counts, who have not yet appeared to express their position.
The entry of any province into a civil war will have an unknown significant impact on the outcome of the war.
And Karna?
She is nothing more than the granddaughter of Grand Duke Lopez.
Even if she can definitely inherit the Lopez family, that is, the lord of the two provinces. Without the royal aura bonus, she would be half a head shorter than Martin.
Just when Martin thought he was going to farm for a long time, he received unexpected news that the Beastmen had appeared south of Bakaria, and that there was more than one clan.
"Beastmen?" When Martin received the news, he was holding Ulani's thigh, asking for the truth of the theory of the compact relationship between the standing horse and the city gate hole.
After listening to Garr's report, Martin fired the accumulated ballista directly. Taking advantage of the sage's time, Martin fell into deep thought.
Instead, it was Ulani who explained to Martin: "Beastmen are more dangerous than orcs because they are utter insane. ”
"That's right!" Ulani ruffled her red hair, looking a little gritted her teeth, "Every time a Beastman powerhouse appears, the Beastmen gather around him and start challenging each powerful target. Once he achieves greater victories, more Beastmen will come and join his clan even if they travel a thousand miles. ”
Martin raised his eyebrows: Isn't this a snowball?
"Not to mention the Bakarians, Ricks, Dwarves, and Wood Elves of Order, as well as the Slingers of the Chaos faction, the orcs who use a certain place as their lair, and even the vampires of the Evil Order faction, will be listed as opponents by these madmen. ”
Martin unceremoniously kneaded the huge and sturdy Chieftain's Peak as he asked, "Have you fought with the Beastmen?"
"Hmm. Ulani was captured because of the key point, and frowned lightly from time to time: "That was when our clan was still in the Northlands. The original group of beastmen was only a small group of fifty people, and the Winter Wolf clan next door sent five hundred people to encircle and suppress them. Within a few days of the Winter Wolf's defeat, it became a small group of five hundred orcs. The Winter Wolf sent 3,000 men over, and they were quickly routed. They had to turn to our clan for help. ”
"And then?"
"The leader is a wild boar man, unusually furious. The guy had a couple of Rick spears stuck in his body, and he used them to hang a few of my people, and he charged at my side. Neither of us was able to stop the guy. Ullani made a 'chop' gesture: "After I cut off the creature's head with my scimitar, the group of beastmen suddenly lost all their courage and ran around like rabbits, and were quickly wiped out. ”
Martin savored the message.
"I touched it twice later. Once on a large scale, once small. I've basically figured out the pattern. Beastmen rarely take the initiative to attack large groups of opponents. When they do, there must be a leader, even a hero. In this case, it is not wrong to send the strongest courage to directly destroy the leader of the other party. ”
"What if it fails?" Martin asked.
"In less than a month, at least one 10,000-person clan will be wiped out. ”
Martin frowned deeply, the Slingers admired force, and the weak ones didn't even have a chance to survive. People over the age of 40, regardless of their status or status, have to join the hunting team themselves, and if they can't catch their prey, they will starve to death. Therefore, a clan of 10,000 people, let alone 6,000 soldiers who can fight.
Beastmen or something, sure enough, they are locust-like beings.
Martin pondered: Can the pioneers in the south of Bakaria stand up?
Before Martin conquered the wasteland, Bakaria had a total of seven provinces, and all of them together looked like a pig's kidney on a map.
At the top is the capital Cotte, a few to the south, to the southwest is Eunes, and due south is the Baden Forest. Further south are Podreau, on the west coast, and the province of Luks, which borders the province of Rik slightly inland. The real border with Rucks is actually two dwarven clans, one is the Sharp Axe Peak, where Martin's old friend Barney is located.
After these two provinces, there are the two southernmost frontiers.
Both of these provinces are quite large, but unfortunately because of their geographical location, they have not been able to stabilize for the past two hundred years, and they have not been able to take off the hat of the pioneer collar.
The southeastern part of the kingdom is the Pavon Frontier Territory, and the entire eastern part is bordered by the Wood Elf settlement. Because of the different concepts, and the fact that some residents often secretly cut down trees to build houses, it has led to constant border friction with the wood elves. There have been many clashes of 1,000 people, and many people have died.
Moreover, the King's Forest at the southern end of the Wood Elf territory, further south, is the wilderness. It was the territory of the Orc Severe-Nose Clan. When the orcs go to the forest to fight the autumn wind, the gods often go to Pavon to make trouble.
At the far southwest end is the Karlsson Pioneer Collar. The Beaumont family here has been a representative of courage and warfare throughout the ages. Unfortunately, he doesn't have a good relationship with the human Dominions in the deserts further south, and he's tired of dealing with the sand bands and beastmen that pop up from the desert from time to time.
This time, it was a beastman clan of 2,000 people, which directly crossed the province of Karlsson, destroyed a large town of 5,000 people, and did not attack Karlsson, the capital of the province, but went all the way north, traveled 200 kilometers, and entered the province of Podreau to make trouble.
Kill and kill all the way, burn and burn.
The most disgusting thing is that the beastmen feed on human flesh!
The noses of both the Count of Beaumont and the Duke of Podreau were crooked.
Karlsund is a frontier pioneer territory, and naturally has a strong army, with a population of 50,000 and 8,000 soldiers in the capital city of Karlsund. The price of the riot is naturally low economic capacity. The province of Karlsson relied on Baudero for food, and even the Marquis de Beaumont was a distant relative of the Duke of Baudereau, which belonged to a typical relationship between the division and the family.
