Section 229 Carter's Past
After Carter's rest for a day, we hit the road again, and this time we were finally able to buy a horse to ride! After having a mount for the ride, we ran all the way along the Liuhua River to King Carter! The Liuhua River is a huge river in Carter's territory, she first flows from north to south in the middle of Carter's kingdom, and when she is about to reach the Elven Forest, it merges with a tributary that flows out of the Elven Forest, and then, along the periphery of the Elven Forest, all the way east, flows into the Mediterranean!
The Carter Kingdom is divided into two parts, one east and one west, by the first half of this river! The eastern part is a vast and vast grassland, only in the part close to the Mediterranean Sea, slightly hilly and undulating! This grassland is rich in water and grass, and it is a famous war horse breeding place on the mainland! Wild flowers on the grassland are affected by the coastal climate and can bloom for eight months a year, so this place is called the flower grassland, and the wild flowers will be blown into the river by the wind from time to time, and when the wild flowers are in full bloom collectively in summer, the river surface is full of wild flowers, and the Liuhua River is also named after this! In the west, there are some hilly areas, and although there is not much food, it is sufficient, but its mineral resources are extremely rich! It is Carter's arsenal!
The grassland people, who have lived in the flowery grassland for generations, were born to grow up on horseback, so they are extremely good at riding and shooting! At the beginning, they originally established their own country on this grassland, and although it only had an area as large as ten provinces, they relied on excellent war horses and the fierce folk customs of all their nations, and they have always maintained an independent posture in the eyes of the surrounding countries!
At that time, Carter only occupied the coastal area. That's about the size of ten provinces! Carter gradually gained tremendous wealth through trade on the sea! With wealth, they possessed powerful armaments! After possessing powerful armed forces, the ambitions of the Carter royal family were bred! Naturally, they were no longer satisfied with their own small territory! However, on several expeditions to the west, they were beaten by the strong style of the grassland peoples! As soon as they reached the land, they inevitably weakened their hands and feet, especially in the face of the group charge of the steppe people. The scene of tens of thousands of horses galloping together on the prairie was really shocking! Carter's sailors and soldiers who knew how to sail were directly stunned! They were completely at a loss! After several major defeats, the Carter royal family did not let go of their ambitions and was always trying to find opportunities for expansion!
Finally, while the Carter royal family was struggling to find out, a great man who could go down in history returned home after completing his studies! He was Prince Sithel Carter, who was later known as the Brilliant Tiger King. At that time, he was only a prince! After he returned to China, he immediately gave orders to form a force that could resist the charge of the steppe group! It took only three years. He used his peerless military talent and incomparable personality charm to gather a large number of talents around him. And successfully formed the Huhuang Legion! With the respect of a prince, he led the leader of the regiment and began the conquest of the flower grassland!
In just a few years, he conquered all the steppe tribes that were still united externally and scattered like sand internally through a frontal attack and a method of division and disintegration! The most important thing is that he did not take revenge to respond to the resistance of the steppe tribes, but with an open mind. and an upright and selfless attitude, all the tribes of the steppe were assigned to the name of the Carter Kingdom! His fair attitude quickly won the hearts of the steppe people! They gradually accepted this fact, and finally became completely naturalized! From then on, they not only provided Carter with countless excellent war horses every year, but were also willing to follow Prince Sisil to fight in the north and south! And finally allowed to form the White Fox Legion with the participation of the steppe people! Now the White Fox Legion is stationed in the Flower Plain!
Originally, such a feat was enough to make the glorious Tiger King, Prince Sisil Carter, King Carter!, but everything changed because of a small detail that was inconspicuous at the time! At that time, he was just the commander of a division under Prince Sisil, but he was ruthless, although he fought bravely and achieved brilliant results, but he did not please Prince Sisil!
After sweeping the grasslands, Carter won a large number of war horses and soldiers! The brilliant victory also further inflated the ambitions of the Carter royal family! King Carter at that time asked Sisil to fight across the Liuhua River and conquer westward to the border of the Han Kingdom! This was obviously a very crazy move! At that time, Carter's new neighbors had a large number of soldiers, and the Liuhua River was a natural barrier, so it was very difficult to provoke! Because the garrison close to the border of the Han Dynasty was our Blue Dragon Legion, and the grandfather who commanded the Blue Dragon Legion at that time was abused many times! It can be said that the combat effectiveness of this country has been trained by our Blue Dragon Legion, can it be bad? Therefore, Prince Sisil has not been able to make up his mind!
At this time, von Hus stood up and gave Prince Sissel an idea! It is not clear what this idea is, but after hearing this, Prince Sissel turned against his gentle gentlemanly demeanor and slapped von Husle several times in public! Then he was dismissed from all his posts and directly expelled from the Huhuang Army! Von Hus, who was so insulted, was unwilling to die in such a mediocre manner! He found another prince at that time, who is now King Carter, and after his lobbying, the two reached an agreement! The current King Carter wrote to the then king, asking to replace Sisil on the expedition!
And although the king at that time looked down on him, in order to provoke Prince Cicele, he nodded and agreed! What was surprising was that this prince easily invaded the enemy country and quickly occupied a large area of land, if it had not been for my grandfather's intervention in the robbery at that time, I am afraid that the entire enemy country would have been annexed by him! And the greatest contributor to such brilliant achievements was undoubtedly the newly formed Serpent's Kiss Legion under the prince, and their commander von Hughs! It was in this battle that von Hughes officially used the despicable curse tactics for the first time on the battlefield, defeating the enemy's elite legions one by one, and even my grandfather was shocked by his vicious tactics, and he didn't dare to act too rashly at that time, and only fought for the land of a few provinces!
And the most fundamental reason why that country was so painfully defeated was not how powerful von Hughes's army was, but a great plague that swept through the entire Liuhua River Valley! Including the people blocked by Carter, the total number of deaths reached an astonishing two million! And Carter only accounted for about 500,000, and the strange thing is that more soldiers died on the other side of the river, while more people died on Carter's side, and fewer soldiers died, and von Hughes's snake kiss army only died a few! Do you think they can be undefeated?
The little girl spoke very carefully, almost in the details, and I could hear the anger expressed at Carter's shamelessness in her words!
"Two million people! just die in a conspiracy!" Although Livni's face did not change, her emotions began to get excited!
"Livne!" the Twin Axe Warrior, Plate Axe suddenly spoke, "If there is no evidence, please don't talk nonsense!
"Plate Axe!" Livne said dissatisfiedly: "You are Carter, of course you prefer Carter to speak! And I am only analyzing this matter from the perspective of a third party, so I don't think there will be a problem with my judgment! Otherwise, can you explain why so few people from the Snake Kiss Legion died at that time? Why did Carter's soldiers die so little? You must know that everyone was stationed by the river at that time, why did the difference be so different?"
"I don't know, maybe it's a coincidence, right?" said the plate axe depressedly, "Hungry was not born at that time!
"Hmph! There is no such coincidence in the world!" Livne said dissatisfiedly, "This is definitely your Carter's conspiracy!"
"I don't know exactly what happened, but there's one thing I'm very strange!" said Jason, the sword and shield warrior, "Can you explain it to me?"
"What's the matter?" asked Livne!
"It's been a long time since von Hus's Snake Kiss Legion and the Blue Dragon Legion have been at loggerheads, right?" Jason asked, "Why hasn't the Great Han Kingdom been attacked by the plague?"
"Jason, you're asking ridiculous questions!" Liv Ni said disdainfully, "Who is the current leader of the Blue Dragon Legion?"
"Howling in the sky?" Jason said puzzledly, "Even if he is a sword master, he can't stop the plague from running amok?"
"Von Hughes released the plague in order to achieve victory in the war, otherwise would you have eaten enough to support him?" Liv Ni sneered: "But if he dares to use this method to deal with the Long family, once Long Xiaotian has a good one! Hmph! Hmph! Have you forgotten the woman who ran away from the Long family?"
"Blood Shura!" Jason suddenly realized, "You said, von Xiusi didn't dare to do anything to the Long family because he was afraid of Blood Shura?"
"It's all obvious, even the sword god Albert told her to hunt her down for half a year and didn't dare to show up, what qualifications does he have as a dark mage to provoke others?" Livne said coldly: "However, his good days are coming to an end now!"
Well, what else does she know?
