readx;? The prairie is in the northern part of the empire, bordering the three major provinces of the empire, namely Obsidian, Longjing, and Huangsha. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It is a gathering place for nomads, who are located between the Lionheart Empire and the Blue Frost Kingdom in the north, and play a good role as a strategic buffer.

The vast prairie is divided into four parts: breeze grassland, gale grassland, angry wind grassland, and storm grassland.

Different nomads live in different steppes, and the nomads of the breeze steppe and the gale steppe are much more friendly.

They frequently traded with humans, bartering with sturdy horses bred on the steppes with trading towns on the edge of the empire.

The exchange of war horses for flour, cloth, leather and other necessities of life has existed for many years and is generally stable.

The Far East, on the other hand, was located in the northeastern part of the empire, and was a very long and narrow region that was part of the empire.

The area is comparable to that of the prairie, equivalent to the total area of the six northern provinces of the empire, and it is not too much to say that the land is vast and sparsely populated.

Historically, no one has tried to reclaim the Far East, but all of them have failed, because the environment of the Far East is too complicated.

Hundreds of orc tribes, large and small, did not welcome humans in, and the human expeditionary force ended in a rout.

After all, in addition to the orcs, the demonic beasts in the forest are also dangerous and abnormal creatures, and no one dares to come except for some mercenaries.

In fact, in the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer traces of demonic beasts in the Far East, and it can even be said that they have died down without a trace.

And with the development of emerging economies, mercenaries are more willing to serve as bodyguards, and even go to Dawn to work in the role.

Because the job is not only stable, but the income is much higher than the life of a mercenary who licks blood at the tip of a knife, there is such a job.

Who would risk hunting any magical beasts? The Far East borders not only part of the Obsidian Province, but also part of the two plains of the steppe, the Breeze Steppe and the Gale Steppe, where the nomadic herders are typical moderates.

However, the other two major grasslands, the Storm Grassland and the Raging Wind Grassland, belong to the typical aggressive martial arts faction.

The nomadic herders who grew up in these two grasslands never refused to compromise with the agricultural civilization in the south, and would go south to raid every spring.

The Storm Fortress is set in the open area facing the Storm Grassland, on the one hand, to defend against the Blue Frost Kingdom in the north.

On the other hand, it is mainly to deal with the raiding of the steppe nomadic cavalry on the stormy steppe, after all, the best way to deal with the cavalry.

It is to cast a fortress with high walls and thick walls to block the iron hooves of the cavalry from moving south, which is a great wall of steel in front of the nomads.

Marquis Campbell, the commander of the Stormwind Fortress, the current head of the Stormwind family, who has been stationed in the fortress for generations, is even more terrifying to the nomads.

But in the past two years, I don't know what has happened, and the situation in the north has become more and more unstable and turbulent.

First, there was news of a coup d'état in the Blue Frost Kingdom, and there were rumors that the Frost Elves, who represented the supreme power of the Kingdom, had disappeared and their whereabouts were unknown.

Then there was the turmoil of several major tribes in the steppe, the change of power, and the movement to the south became more and more frequent.

The battle clouds gathered above the Storm Fortress, and a large number of supplies were sent into the Storm Fortress every day, and Marquis Campbell keenly captured that it would not be long before a full-scale war broke out, and the empire was really in internal and external troubles, and the entire continent would fall into madness!

Lin Ye also foresaw this day, so he began to think about building a cavalry unit, after all, a road to the Far East had been paved.

Second, the internal areas of the empire are mostly plains, which is conducive to cavalry combat, if the overall situation of disputes within the empire has been decided.

If the new emperor who held the authority of the empire wanted to attack the Far East, Lin Ye would not mind sending an elite cavalry south.

Bypassing the northern provinces and cutting into the heart of the empire, it is somewhat unrealistic to rely on cavalry to capture the king.

But it is enough to encircle the unparalleled soldiers to form a flanking attack, which is also the best fighting style of Lin Nandu, the former Duke of the Far East.

That is, the surprise attack strategy of running thousands of miles, even if the other party knows that he will use this move, he can be guarded against it strictly.

The brave army will always hide in the dark, quietly sneaking in, making people unguarded and their scalps tingling.

This is also the effect that Lin Ye wants to achieve, but now the cavalry is still in the recruitment stage, and the war horses have not been bought back.

How can people not be annoyed by the fact that they have been given a sideways kick? After learning this news, all major military officers have asked for war.

There is a great momentum to wave the army to level the steppe, after all, the Far East is not what it used to be, and it can call up five combat-ready divisions of the reorganized army at any time.

Coupled with the well-trained and well-equipped, it may be difficult to sweep the entire steppe, but if it is only a mere angry steppe, it is still not a problem, and the officers are full of confidence and strongly demand to teach these steppe nomads some lessons, the Far East is not a vegetarian!

However, this was met by Lin Ye, who was now riding a horse on a breezy prairie.

The smell of fresh earthy grass is refreshing, and cattle and sheep are walking in the distance, and herders are driving them.

"My lord, I really don't understand why I have to venture here to negotiate with them, so I have to risk coming here to negotiate with them?

Kluff rode behind Lin Ye, and he couldn't understand why the Duke always wanted to have adventures himself.

"It is precisely because they do not understand that I have to go there in person, so that they can understand the benefits of cooperation with the Far East, that they can solve the problem peacefully as much as possible, and that in the new era, money is a sharper and deadlier weapon than a sharp spear, and the problem cannot be solved by force alone. ”

Lin Ye didn't have the luxury of asking Kluff to understand his thinking, anyway, now the major officers in the Far East had something to do.

And Crouff is currently an idler, so it's good to have him as a sidekick.

"But what if they don't want to accept a negotiated plan? Especially the people of the Raging Tempest Prairie, who are the most stubborn. ”

Kluff had heard a little about the northern prairies, which were predatory and never traded.

"If they really don't want to be reasonable, then they can put their fists again, and in the terrain of the steppe, it is really difficult to defeat them with infantry, and even if we can win a frontal conflict, we will only get a meadow that cannot be cultivated, and there is no benefit. ”

Lin Ye shook his head, this is the crux of the matter, if you can't destroy the main force of the nomads, you will never be able to make them surrender.

But if there were no cavalry troops, how could they catch up with them with infantry alone?

It's a real headache. (To be continued.) )
