Volume 4 The Throne Chapter 1 Uncertainty
Less than a week after the New Year of the year 3783 in the continental calendar, a cold wind and a blizzard swept through the entire Muerto Mountains.
Snowflakes began to fall in the early morning and did not stop until noon.
The whole sky and the ground were dyed white with snowflakes, which not only covered the desolate land on the ground that had been barren by the war, but also the entire earth, which had turned dark red and was close to black, and the blood stains that were close to black were obscured, making the entire Muerto Mountains seem to be as pure and white as snowflakes.
The head of the Greedy Wolf Legion, Sharon Linur, stood outside the tent and looked at the Muerto Mountains in the distance, which were covered with snow so that only a vague outline remained, and his body was completely covered with snowflakes, and his whole body turned into a snowman.
Although the Muerto Mountains in the distance could not be seen clearly due to the blizzard, Li Nur knew that there must be a northern army of the Lampari Kingdom all over it.
Just as they were guarding against the Zhenbei Army, which might take advantage of this opportunity to carry out a surprise attack, the Zhenbei Army must also be guarding against their Greedy Wolf Legion seizing the opportunity to launch a counterattack on the Murto Mountains.
This standoff has continued since the capture of the Muerto Mountains by the Northern Army of the Central Lampari Kingdom last year.
Neither side is willing or dares to back down, because once they retreat here, it will be equivalent to ceding the border line of the two sides under the other side's army, and no one can predict what the consequences will be.
However, in the current weather, it is clear that neither side has any ability to attack, but can enjoy a rare period of peace.
However, Li Nur was very dissatisfied with this peace.
The Muerto Mountains, which had been in the hands of the Kingdom of Sark for nearly ten years, were lost in his hands because of this. There is now a loud call in the Kingdom of Sark for the removal of the commander of the Linur army. made Li Nur extremely passive during this time.
And compare this passivity. In fact, what Li Nur cared about the most was the shame brought to him by the Muerto Mountains.
As a soldier, he couldn't keep the position he was defending, which was like being slapped in the face to Li Nuer.
Every time he saw the Murto Mountains, he felt a burning pain on his face, and the anger in his heart rekindled.
However, every time he thought of the combat effectiveness displayed by the Northern Army of the Lampari Kingdom when they attacked the Murto Mountains last year, Li Nur felt as if someone had poured cold water on his head. Calm down instantly.
He knew very well that if the Zhenbei Army had maintained the same combat effectiveness as last year, and the Greedy Legion had not changed anything, then even if they fought again, the Greedy Legion would definitely be defeated without any suspense.
The Zhenbei Army of the Lampari Kingdom has not made any further progress in the Kingdom of Sark in the past six months, and in Li Nuer's opinion, it is not because of the strength of the greedy army, but more because of the difference in the national strength of the kingdoms behind the two sides.
Yet the more clear this fact became, the more ashamed Linur felt.
"Wait, sooner or later. I'm going to retake the Murto Mountains with my own hands!"
At the urging of the guards, Li Nur snorted softly. After one last glance at the Murto Mountains in the distance, he turned and walked back to his tent.
As soon as he shook off the snowflakes on his body, the curtain of the tent was lifted again, and the cold wind poured in instantly, making Li Nuer shiver all over.
He was about to turn his head to reprimand, but found that it was the chief of staff Aiwei João who suddenly rushed in, and the reprimand that had reached the edge of Linour's throat immediately became a question.
"What's the matter?"
Ivy João rubbed his hands, and there was no hint of anxiety on his face, but a hint of joy.
Now that his hands were roasted on the brazier that was burning in the tent, he carefully took out a stack of paper from his bosom and handed it to Linur.
Li Nur took it and looked at it suspiciously, only to find that the pieces of paper were drawn with some strange drawings, which looked like some kind of mechanical drawings.
"What is this?"
Joao smiled: "What you think about for a long time." ”
Li Noor's eyes lit up suddenly: "Could it be the blueprint of the magic trebuchet?"
"That's right. ”
Hearing Joao's answer, Li Nur hurriedly reopened the drawings and looked at them intently.
However, he didn't know anything about it, and no matter how much he concentrated, he couldn't see it.
However, from some of the patterns drawn on these drawings, he can still see some clues, and he can confirm that what is described above is indeed the magic trebuchet that was taken out by the Zhenbei Army of the Lampari Kingdom last year and made the greedy army suffer so much that it could not even hold a position.
"Where did you get this?" asked Linur.
"The staff office got it from the Lampari Kingdom, and this is just a copy of what I brought you. João took the blueprint back from Linour's hand and carefully folded it into his arms. "This is something that the General Staff Department spent a lot of money to get, and it took a lot of effort for me to get a copy for you to see. ”
Li Nur was a little strange: "The staff office is really good, according to such an important drawing, the Lampari Kingdom will definitely be very closely protected, they can actually get it." ”
Joao laughed: "How we got it is none of our business." The good news I want to tell you is that His Majesty the King has ordered an accelerated study of this thing, and I think it won't be long before we have a magic trebuchet to use. ”
There was no joy on Linuer's face, but a deep frown.
"I'm not as optimistic as you. Didn't those guys from the Kingdom Demon Court also study it before, but the result was that the testing machine directly killed dozens of people! I don't think they can really make it out with this drawing alone. ”
"It's better to try than not to try. João shook his head. "Otherwise, do you think we can beat those guys from the Shangzhen Northern Army again?"
Li Nur sank his face, and after a while, he sighed and shook his head slowly.
"These things are too powerful to stop. Many times I was thinking, if that Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were in our Sark Kingdom, we would probably have defeated the Lampari Kingdom a long time ago, and there would be no need to suffer here. ”
"It's a shame that the reality is that guy is in the kingdom of Lampari. João sighed. "But fortunately, according to the situation from the Demon Court, the study of this drawing seems to be progressing smoothly, so let's wait patiently for the good news. ”
Li Nur snorted coldly: "Then they didn't say how long we should wait?Don't forget, there was news from there last year, and now it is their eldest prince Eric who is now in charge of the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom, this kid has been planning to attack our Sark Kingdom for a long time in order to get some military merits to grab the throne." I guess as soon as winter passes, this kid won't be able to wait to attack. If we don't have the weapons to fight against them, will we watch them go into the kingdom?"
Joao smiled: "Don't worry too much about this. According to the information obtained by the General Staff Office, Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are the side that supports the princess of Seviny, and in order to draw a line with him, Eric did not continue to purchase any military magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so the combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army of the Lampari Kingdom will not be as exaggerated as last year. ”
Li Nuer frowned and shook his head: "I really don't know what this kid is thinking. He obviously has such a good military magic machine but doesn't use it, does he think that with his hairy boy, he can defeat our greedy army?"
"Don't underestimate him too much. Joao said. "There are many big families in the Lampari Kingdom who support this kid to ascend to the throne, and they are very supportive of his counterattack on our Sark Kingdom this time, so the Zhenbei Army of the Lampari Kingdom that we encountered this time is very likely to be the best logistics supply Zhenbei Army we have ever encountered, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. ”
"As long as it's not equipped with those military magic machines, I don't worry about the combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army. Linur grimaced. "If you want me to say, maybe the combat effectiveness of the northern army of the Lampari Kingdom will decline because they are suddenly able to eat, drink, and dress warmly this time. Coupled with this idiot prince, it would be strange if they could be powerful. ”
"Anyway, it's better to be cautious. João said.
"Of course, I still know that. Li Nuer nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Actually, it's better for me to strongly establish a staff office to find a way to get rid of that kid named Xu Yi directly." This kid is the biggest uncertainty. If he's coming up with something more powerful, and the people in the Lampari Kingdom aren't as idiots as Prince Eric, then we're in a really dangerous situation. ”
"I'm afraid it won't work. João shook his head. "The General Staff Department feels that he has a lot of value, and if we can get all these things that he and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have researched, then it will also be of great benefit to our Sark Kingdom. You must understand that the goal of our Kingdom of Sark is not just the Kingdom of Lampari. ”
Li Nuer frowned and pondered for a moment, then sighed lightly: "I understand that you have a point, but I always feel that ...... Let this guy continue to save zài, and it is very likely that it will ruin our big things in the end. Can't you get it...... In the end, our Kingdom of Sark will be defeated by the Kingdom of Lampari......"
Joao laughed and patted Li Nur on the shoulder: "You think too much. After all, the national strength of the Lampari Kingdom is much worse than that of our Sark Kingdom. And they really haven't even decided on the heir of the next king now, and the kingdom is not stable at all. Even if there is an uncertain factor in the Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, what threat can it pose to us? Not to mention...... The General Staff Department has already set its sights on this kid Xu Yi, can he still come up with new tricks that we can't think of?"
Li Nuer was silent for a long time and nodded slowly.
"I hope so. (To be continued......)
