Chapter 116: The Iron Wall of the Empire
On the border between the Auron Empire and the Orc Empire, from south to north, there are Golden Moon County - Mason County (a county directly under the royal family) - Prince Cameron County - Dwarven Dominion.
There is only a small border between the Golden Moon County and the Orc Empire, and they are both high mountains and mountains, with only a few small roads connecting the two places, so the Auron Empire does not have much defense pressure here.
As for the northernmost dwarven dominions, the empire has little binding force on it, so naturally there is no need and cannot send troops to garrison there, and those dwarves are not easy to mess with, and the orc empire does not dare to cross the border from there casually.
Masonshire and Prince Cameron are both under the direct command of the Ellis royal family of the Auror Empire, and they are both tasked with guarding the frontier against the orcs, and the founding emperor of the Auron Empire is a man of great wisdom, and he has divided all the territories around the Auron Empire to the royal family.
On the one hand, the founding emperor of the Auron Empire used this attitude to show his subjects that he was selfless and brave to take responsibility, "This imperial frontier is guarded by our royal family, should you also accept this sentiment and always be loyal to and maintain the rule of the Ellis family?"
On the other hand, this guard of the frontier must have an army, and this army is not only numerous, but they must also be elite, so the Ellis family can justifiably retain and control the vast majority of the military power of the empire, no matter how disarming it is in peacetime, it has no reason to reduce the border guards, right?
Mason County is commonly known as the "Royal Trial Camp", where each generation of royals will be given a temporary territory, where they will learn how to govern internal affairs, lead troops to fight wars and other "professional courses" that are compulsory for the nobility.
However, Lin Feng and Tyranya actually heard such shocking news today: "Prince Kevin, Kevin Ellis, the Imperial Imperial Family actually has a behind-the-scenes deal with the orcs of the Orc Empire? ”
"In case they collude with each other, then ......" Lin Feng thought to himself: "This civil war is raging, and the Orc Empire will take the opportunity to invade again, is this the rhythm of the empire going to end?"
Although Tyranya was also surprised, she didn't think about it that much, after all, she was born in the Dominion of the Elven Forest, and she didn't have any sense of belonging to the Auron Empire. Well, here she only cares about Lin Feng's family, to be precise, she only cares about Lin Feng and his mother and the little maid of Shui Rou.
Lin Feng regretted a little at this time, "If I had known this, I should have further suppressed the forces of the Marquis of Golden Moon, so that he would have no strength to participate in Prince Kevin's schemes and calculations, alas......"
Because of knowing the news, Lin Feng and Tyranya only stayed in Jinyue for half a day before leaving in a hurry, anyway, going to Mason County was generally a stop, so Lin Feng and Taylanya decided to go to Mason County to have a look.
"Go and see what the hell that Prince Kevin is doing, it's better if it's okay, if he really has a situation, we can also remind the empire to prepare early," Lin Feng said to Tyranya, "How can I say that I am also the hereditary Viscount of the Golden Rose of the Empire, I can't just watch it fall like this." ”
However, after entering Mason County, the deeper Lin Feng and Tailanya went, the more puzzled they became, there was nothing abnormal in this county, especially Lin Feng also learned that this Mason County was known as the "Royal Trial Camp", and the whole county was divided into more than a dozen temporary territories.
Although Prince Kevin's territory was the highest, there were still five or six territories of similar strength around his territory, and he could single-handedly overturn those territories around him? Lin Feng couldn't see what chance he had of winning. But to say that those territories are all against him, it is absolutely impossible, if that is the case, the empire should be finished.
With doubts, Lin Feng and Tyranya left Mason County, and then entered the territory of Prince Cameron Ellis, known as the "Iron Wall of the Empire", Cameron Ellis is the brother of the founding emperor of the Auror Dragon Empire, and is known for his bravery and good fighting, so he was divided by the founding emperor of the empire in the border area close to the orc empire.
Cameron Ellis also lived up to expectations, in his lifetime by virtue of his wisdom and force to make the name of the "Imperial Iron Wall", his descendants in order to commemorate his achievements, but also to the world to declare to inherit his will, so, from the third generation of the prince, each generation of princes changed their name to Cameron Ellis, and the territory was named Prince Cameron.
Most of Prince Cameron's territory is plains, and because of this, this is also the most vulnerable area to the Orc Empire, and whenever there is a dispute between the Auron Empire and the Orc Empire, there will be one or several local wars here, so there are one or several castles standing on the plains here at intervals.
While remembering the heroic deeds of Cameron Ellis, the "Iron Wall of the Empire", Lin Feng and Tyranya leisurely crossed the great plains of Prince Cameron's territory, and the place in front of them was their destination, the Dwarven Dominion.
The legend of the origin of the humanoid race of dwarves is very wonderful, they are usually considered to be the descendants of earth spirits, Lin Feng really can't imagine: "How did those earth spirits formed by the fusion of earth elements give birth to flesh-and-blood dwarves, isn't this nonsense?"
Fort Furnace is located in the heart of a high mountain in the central region of the Dwarven Dominion, and it is also the capital of the Dwarven Dominion. It is said that there is an active volcano at the bottom of the furnace castle, and the dwarven blacksmiths use the hot magma from the active volcano to smelt and forge various weapons and armor.
The Fire Crystal Iron Ore in Lin Feng's hand is notoriously difficult to smelt, after all, it itself is a fire attribute ore, and it has a strong resistance to ordinary flames, if you want to smelt them into metal ingots, you must find a high-temperature, high-heat and continuous and stable fire source, Lin Feng thinks about it, and only the magma river at the bottom of the Fire Furnace Fort is the most suitable.
Although the dwarves are bold and straightforward, they are not stupid, and they have been fooled many times, and they have summed up three "dwarf laws": first, don't make deals with goblins, second, don't pay attention to the arrogance of elves, and third, don't trust humans easily.
After Lin Feng learned this information, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, "How many times have these human ancestors cheated dwarves, there are so many races on the continent, and there are only three 'dwarf laws', just like that, human beings can be mixed up on the list? However, compared to goblins, humans belong to the kind that can be saved, while goblins are directly sentenced to 'death'." ”
