The shape of the Sardinian Peninsula is from narrow to wide from west to east, and the west coast where Li Xi is located is the westernmost point, with a land distance of about 15 kilometers from west to east and almost 23 kilometers from south to north, and this land of more than 300 square kilometers is the area that Li Xi can currently control. As mentioned above, it is the most barren land, and the Sadolon tribe controls an area of almost 500 square kilometers in the further north, and is the largest nezumi tribe on the entire southwest coast. The Sadolon tribe is very powerful, with a small number of heavily armored warriors in the rat tribe, and it also has rudimentary iron-making technology, and the current royal court has also given them the right to govern, in fact, in the form of a human tribe, let them guard here.

But in fact, there has been no so-called foreign invasion for thousands of years, and the interior has always been very stable except for the kobolds who often clash on the northern border. Without the spread of war, the monsters were not on a large scale, so even if the conditions were a little more difficult, the number of nezumi had increased a lot, but the surge in the number of nezumi did not make the nezumi prosperous, but exposed the most fatal weakness, that is, food. At the beginning of the discovery of the problem, the royal court inquired in many ways and learned that there was an ore in the kobold's area that could improve the geology, and for the rat people who had already broken out of the problem, this news was like a gospel of God, bringing hope for survival. Therefore, the royal court gathered a large number of troops, broke through the defense line in one fell swoop, and attacked the hinterland of the kobolds. Of course, for the rights holders, expanding the territory to achieve their ambitions is not contrary to the purpose of the matter. Therefore, the army did not withdraw, and after occupying several mineral-producing areas, it continued to advance and encroach on more land.

The beaten kobolds lost ground for thousands of miles, and they were furious and manic, and they didn't believe that the rat men, who had been tired of defense, actually hit them, which was a sense of superiority in the bones of the higher races (in fact, it was not that high). So they gathered a large army and began a counterattack, and with the advent of a series of victories, the rat people were proud, and the purpose of continuing to survive had long been aside, looking at the newly occupied fertile land, all the tribes wanted to migrate over, let their people out of the sea of misery and enjoy life. In the long quarrel, all parties were unwilling to give up the interests in hand, and the compatriots who were originally unanimous with the outside world were also tense, although no conflict broke out under the pressure of the royal court, but the calm surface was full of surging undercurrents. And the kobolds, the great enemies of all the rat people, have long been left behind, greed and ambition have blinded everyone, and when the crisis comes, it is inevitable that they will fall apart.

As many as 100,000 nezumi died in that great battle, the tribes that fought separately were scattered and completely dissipated in the wind and rain. If it weren't for the desperate defeat of the enemy by the leaders of the royal court at that time, perhaps the history of the nezumi would no longer exist, and the price for this would be the destruction of the royal court. The rats who were able to escape returned to their own land, but most of the supplies had already been lost, and there was not much ore left for hope, and the rats could only nest on this deserted land, relying on the only remaining food to survive.

It's just that kobolds will not let go of such a good opportunity, and it has been their long-cherished wish to expand their territory over the years, so the roles have been reversed, the territory of the nezumi has been lost, and countless nezumi have become slaves. Faced with the moment of life and death, under the leadership of the only remaining royal family members in the royal court, everyone once again came together to repel the enemy, but the territory has been greatly reduced to the current area. And the royal court, which led everyone to victory again, did not last forever, and they lacked deterrent power, and they became a part of history.

The Sadolon tribe was the supporters of the nascent royal court at that time, and our Rashid tribe is still attached to the former royal court. In the days of the reign of the new court, the rats killed each other, swallowed each other, robbed each other of food, and strengthened their strength. There is no longer a scene of unanimous external development and common development in the past, and the struggle for power and profit is now the main theme, and the ridiculous royal court is still called the survival of the fittest and healthy competition. In this land of poverty and misery, shouldn't we be in the same boat and support each other? Ridiculous rulers! Ridiculous!

A respectable and weeping survival history of the rat people was revealed in front of Li Xi's eyes, although it took a lot of pen and ink, but it was only a moment of effort to talk, looking at the embarrassed Otero, Li Xi didn't know how to comfort him for a while. From the abundance of information, Li Xi also got what he wanted, the Sadolon tribe is the master of this area, has a relatively regular force, and is also a blood-stained killer, and the combat effectiveness of the tribe is not the same. What is more important is to improve the ore of geology, and this is the most important thing! The bloody case caused by grain is vividly in our minds, and although there has been a systematic transformation, with the increase of population, grain will still be in short supply, not to mention that when the army goes on an expedition, grain and grass go first, and fighting a war is not just money and grain? Therefore, this is a very important ore, and Li Xi must be determined to win!

"This is really a sad past, and I deeply regret it, but of course as the people of our Sardinian Empire, such a tragedy will never happen!

From that full of confidence, Otero seemed to gain strength and ignite the already cold blood.

Yes, the glory of the empire will never end!

Then Li Xi focused on understanding the specific strength of the Lower Sadolon tribe, from Otero's words, Sadolon has a standing army of 5,000 people, and another 1,000 heavy armored soldiers, and the dependent tribe can also provide 2,000 people in wartime, because the rat people are all soldiers, if they are urgently mobilized, the force can be more. Sadolon's own tribe has a population of more than 30,000, and there are more than 20,000 of the many tribes that he is attached to.

How poor and unarmed it would take to have a standing army with one-fifth of the population! They are all so poor that they have nothing to eat, and they are so frenzied! Do you know that this is how much pressure I have! Whoever knows that there is a war maniac next to him will not be in a much better mood. It's just that it's going to rain and I'm going to get married, come on, get ready!

However, as Otero's words changed, Li Xi understood that the current situation may not be as grim as expected. It turned out that with the frequent occurrence of tribal annexation, several originally powerful tribes have grown stronger and stronger, and their strength has always given birth to ambitions, and the current royal court is also in rebellion, why can't they? Huge sums of grain are also handed over every year, squeezing their war potential.

Therefore, if the news is stopped by Sadoron, they will not invade on a large scale, let alone hand over the information to the royal court, it is really not possible, and the two sides can avoid the disaster of war by reaching a deal.

After listening, Li Xi nodded undeniably, and did not say anything more, but asked about the magical ore. Otero didn't understand why the empire had such a productive field and cared so much about these ores, but Otero still answered the question, but he didn't know much, after all, their Rashid tribe had never obtained it, only that the Sadoron tribe might have some inventory. Because according to the records of the literature, the rat people who came back from the rout eventually found them according to the properties of the ore, but the stock was too scarce to change the status quo of life.

There was no clear news, which disappointed Li Xi, and he waved his hand to let Otero retreat.

"Innocent thoughts, suppressed ambitions will only grow stronger, like a hungry jackal staring at a fat sheep and living in peace?"

"Idealistic scholars, most of whom like to fantasize and fantasize, also regard themselves as superior, and sometimes they can judge the situation and seize opportunities, but more often take it for granted. ”

"BINGGO! LAO PA IS TO THE POINT, THIS BROKEN JOKE AND BLOODY DRAMA HAVE BEEN FILMED BADLY, BUT UNFORTUNATELY LAO AO STILL HASN'T LEARNED A LESSON FROM HISTORY, THIS SADOLON IS A MAN-EATING BEAST, COUNTING ON THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE ROYAL COURT, IT IS BETTER TO BELIEVE THAT THE SOW WILL GO UP TO THE TREE! MAYBE THE ROYAL COURT HAS ALSO GOTTEN THE NEWS, WHO KNOWS IF THERE ARE ANY SPIES IN SARDOLON, OTHERWISE THE EMPEROR IS FAR AWAY, SADORON WILL BE SO HONEST?

With the departure of Patos, Li Xi began to study the function of army reorganization, and perhaps this new thing could bring a lot of changes. The system explains that the army is the cornerstone of the establishment of the empire and the sword that expands its power and carries forward the glory, so the strict selection system, military service system and training system are the basis for ensuring combat effectiveness. However, military strength does not only refer to the quality of soldiers, excellent equipment is also an important component, so all kinds of arms can be replaced with equipment, such as the first-level spear militia, which can be replaced with the equipment of the second-level spear sergeant, which can also be called a spear sergeant, but it will not be counted in the upper limit of troops, so the use of better equipment is also one of the means to improve one's own military strength, but whether it can exert combat power still needs to be judged by the host. Therefore, after the reform, if the minimum requirements of all levels of arms are met, the prefix will be added to the title of Sardinian, such as the spear sergeant who has reached the bronze level, and the official title is the Sardinian spear sergeant. For example, the militia who changed the equipment of the sergeant can only be called a spear sergeant (pseudo), and the quality of the soldiers is equivalent to that of the spear militia.

After a long period of sprinkling, Li Xi finally understood that this was just a rule that the system had divided in advance. For example, if Li Xi changes his clothes in the future, the militia wears the equipment of a sergeant, and Li Xi can also be called a spear sergeant, but compared with the actual combat power, the gap is not ordinarily large, and a lot of resources are wasted. This division is also more convenient for Li Xi to understand the strength of his army, and now it can be said that it is clear at a glance that all the people with the title of empire are standard troops, and what they don't have is the goods. Not bad, not bad! The appearance is not yet in the upper limit of the army, although the first-level militia is useless, but in the future, the second-level will replace the third-level, and the third-level will replace the fourth-level, and the combat power will also be there, and the number of troops will not be limited! It is simply perfect! In addition, the reorganization has also confirmed the upper limit of the number of troops provided by the towns, 40 villages, 160 small towns, 320 large towns, 960 cities, 1600 medium-sized cities, 3200 large cities, and so on.
