Baozi sincerely thanked the Yamabara brothers for voting 4 votes, the Li Sen brothers for voting 1 vote, the book friend Ajie brothers for 1 vote, Azhuolun for rewarding 100 coins, and Zhang Ying for rewarding 100 coins

At first, Nilai didn't like the sparkling sea in front of her.

Because my father always liked to leave the city of Lhasa under the pretext of going to sea to run errands, leaving Nilai alone in his uncle's Hutu Beien,

Wait until the next time the cháo comes,

This continued until she was eight years old.

That year, it was also the Winter Veil Festival, and the red light of the bonfire lit up the night sky, and the sky was dotted with stars, heralding the arrival of a new year.

That time, for the first time, she rode on the thick shoulders of her father, Archduke Lazar,

Raise your immature little face, with beautiful and simple eyes, look up at the sky on the sea in the distance,

When she saw the vast and stiff darkness on the sea, she was so frightened that she hugged her father's neck tightly, and her delicate body trembled.

In the unfathomable darkness of the sea, it was as if an invisible hand reached out and snatched away her little body,

The feeling of horror made her máo shudder,

It was also that time that she knew that she was in the kingdom of Salander, and she was not as peaceful as she saw.

The dispute between the Southerners and the Northerners had been going on for a century, and every time my father went to sea, he went to a place called Newfoundland.

It was the only bazaar open to the northern territories in the southern part of the Kingdom of Salander.

Father must take the goods obtained by hard work in January, and go to that place to exchange for some necessary daily necessities.

It takes at least half a month to go back and forth.

If you encounter some extreme weather such as ocean currents or storms, it is an experience of escaping death.

His father vomited blood due to a recurrence of his injuries during the war, and finally he was killed by the wild wolf Hou Salis, all of which were sequelae left at that time.

It was also then that Nilai knew that if she became an admired celestial priest, she might have the opportunity to reverse this discrimination from the region.

It turned out that in the eyes of the southern nobles of Salander, the lords of the northern territories were just a bunch of poor eggs who could be sent away by handouts at will.

Now that his father has passed away, the fear of the depths of the ocean in his heart has disappeared.

In the midst of his father's opposition, he stubbornly boarded the harbor ship and went to Kyoto Sky Temple to participate in the sacrificial selection.

has become the premier powerful lord of the northern region,

Now, in her heart, she only wishes she had a pair of wings,

I can fly freely and proudly in the blue sea of stars with this man next to me.

The fat man doesn't know what the NV Grand Duke next to him thinks,

He was looking at the port outside, the port of Lhasa was getting busier and busier, and the harbor was full of ships of all sizes,

The sails of the white sè are like dense white clouds in the sky reflected on the sea, and there is no gap at all.

The sea that used to be turquoise and transparent turned white in the morning mist.

Merchant ships docked in an orderly manner, unloading large quantities of supplies, and then transporting spices and precious metals.

The merchant ships from the southern part of the opposite strait were loaded with large quantities of raw materials or ores.

Flying the flag that can enter the port first, it looks particularly eye-catching in the dense merchant ships,

The size of these merchant ships is also very huge, with a displacement of more than 500 tons.

It requires careful command from the navigator on the shore to moor the pier smoothly

Today's port of Lhasa has a lot of soldiers,

They were arranged in straight lines, like statues, and stood on a large pier on the west side of the port.

There were soldiers along the way, it was a special dock for the military, and several long and strange warships were quietly undulating with the bō,

The sharp spear in the soldier's hand exuded a biting chill in the sunlight. Among these soldiers standing guard,

There were also several teams of mobile cavalry

They were fierce and strong, with red sè cloaks representing honor on their shoulders, and a strange arc-shaped long sword at their waists.

The intent-minded gaze was like a sharp blade tearing through the air, sweeping over any suspicious figure from time to time

Seeing so many increased soldiers,

Many accustomed merchant shipowners and sailors knew that important people must have arrived at the port of Lhasa today.

Sure enough, as it was almost evening, more than a dozen large merchant ships without any flags came from the sea in the distance.

On both sides of these dozen merchant ships, there are dragon tooth warships of the Vekia Navy to escort them.

The heavy bow of the ship pushes the sea from time to time,

Like a rolling white line slowly approaching, the whitening floor of the ship, soaked by the sea, sank deep below the waterline.

The hull of the ship swayed, and the five-layer huge white sails were blown round by the sea breeze, and at first glance it was full of extremely heavy cargo.

Under the guidance of the navigator, the merchant ship slowly sailed into the harbor.

At this time, the Lasa army, which was originally patrolling the port, quickly approached here.

Some curious merchant shipowners and sailors could even see a black carriage coming to a stop under one of the largest merchant ships, escorted by several teams of black-armored cavalry

"Grand Duke"

On the side of the ship, the sturdy figure of the longbow leader Xast got down from the side of the ship surrounded by several tall and strong longbow squadron leaders, and saluted the fat man respectfully.

Behind him, as the plank of the ship was lowered, the soldiers who had been waiting at the dock boarded the ship one after another, quickly and orderly hung the goods on the hook of the crane, and then shouted down with a cautious face,

Boxes of heavy goods were hoisted down, and mountains of high boxes were piled up on the docks.

On the periphery of the military port, a large number of guards cavalry looked solemn, cutting off all peeps from the opposite side

"My lord, what are these goods ......?"

Nilai followed the fat man, looking at these tightly closed wooden boxes in amazement,

The arrival of the fat man gave her a backbone, which was feeling in a dilemma.

It was the fat man, who didn't care about the menacing northern commander, and just said mysteriously, "No matter him, as long as I wait until my things arrive, it won't be a problem."

"These are my goods, and with them, neither Salander Kyoto nor Normandy can take advantage of us."

The fat man looked at the cargo that was constantly being lifted from the ship with satisfaction, and said with a little smugness on the corner of his mouth

"These dozen merchant ships, in addition to 5,000 sets of the most beautiful infantry equipment and 4,000 foot infantry heavy crossbows,

Also in the bottom compartment are 50mén heavy ballistas for front-line combat, as well as the latest weapon of the 10mén Weapons Research Institute, the Thor 2

The fat man's voice paused, and he continued

"This Type 2 short-barreled Thor is an improved version for siege warfare, with a muzzle of an extremely terrifying 40 centimeters, which can use the high parabolic principle to easily cross the city wall and smash the heavy Thor explosive projectile over the city wall and smash it to the target from the top of the sky,

It is three times larger than the ordinary Thor and also gives it more terrifying power and shè cheng, but it is a little worse than the jīng quasi-shang, but for a castle that cannot move, launching a concentrated attack within 500 meters is enough to blow a broken 100-meter wall into ruins

"Hundreds of meters of city wall ......"

A hint of fear flashed in Nilai's eyes,

She just saw several Vekia soldiers, carrying several long metal pipes out of the cabin, the dark metal pipes could not be seen material, shining with a cold luster of black sè,

This is the latest bloody masterpiece of the old man Lidahir, a weapon maniac, since the last battle of Kyoto, in view of Thor's disadvantage in attacking the solid city wall, the fat man proposed to Lidahir, who was in charge of the weapons research institute, that it could be improved.

The institute is required to develop a new type of Thor for different combat functions on the basis of the existing Thor within one year.

The research institute first met the needs of the Admiralty and developed a curve cannon with a higher jīng accuracy and shè range, which can be regarded as Lidasil's care for this guy Lidacus.

Then at the end of last year, this madman with a head full of destructive power, under the urging of the fat man, developed this short-barreled Thor cannon with a high throwing shè line, and finally completed the army's improvement on strengthening Thor's ability to attack castles.

After all, this is an era of castles,

Whether it is the kingdom of Ryordian or the kingdom of Rod, the castle is the main body of their defense.

And the architects of Salander are known for their pursuit of luxury and complexity.

As a result, a kind of three-dimensional defense line with multiple walls has been developed.

A defensive line is surrounded by countless ramparts and towers, like a huge palace huā garden,

Otherwise, the Normandy army, which was overwhelming, would not have come to a standstill in front of the Kyoto wall of Salander.

This style is full of the unique làng manga of the Salander people, and when he was in Hutu Beien, the fat man was surprised by the excessive number of streets and alleys and huā garden facilities.

After inquiring about Nilai, I learned that if these huā gardens, which were made of solid stones, were temporarily equipped with facilities for combat defense,

It can form a defensive belt with shè towers and rolling stones, and if the river is channeled into a deep pit on the side of the road, it can easily form a high moat.

With the advantage of a steep defense, with only a few soldiers, you can drag an enemy several times your size to death and drag down,

Most of the siege equipment, for this kind of three-dimensional multi-layer defense line built with countless large walls, streets and alleys, the effect is not great, and it often takes heavy infantry to enter the city in blood, so that it is possible to really open the gap.

If this is filled with human lives, I am afraid that thousands of lives will be missing.

It is no wonder that the goshawk Avize could only take the representative method of transferring the tiger away from the mountain to transfer the defenders in the city to annihilate them.

"Are you going to take the initiative?"

Nilai asked in a low voice, her tone full of contradiction and concern,

The large number of weapons and thousands of reinforcements in front of him made the air smell of Xiao Killing.

One is his motherland, and the other is his beloved man, although he knew that this day would come, but he never expected to come back so soon,

"If I knew this was the case, I wouldn't have held the Winter Veil Festival"

Nilai blamed herself,

If it weren't for the fact that he proposed the Winter Veil Festival to invite his mentor to come, the current situation would not have become like this.

With the continuous pressure of the new northern commander-in-chief, Jehardo, many northern lords who were connected to the Heck Lord, quickly formed two factions

This is originally a loose alliance of interests, if it can last for the last year, or maybe form a solid alliance,

But it's only been a month.

In front of the wealthy forces in Kyoto, most of the northern lords who were almost robbed by the Normans chose to withdraw from the alliance, except for a few with a hard waist.

On the contrary, some weak lords dared to stand up clearly and express their support for Heck's Lord.

One of the loudest voices shouted was the Legge who had a good conversation with the fat man Jiāo at the meeting.

The fat man once promised to invest 20,000 gold coins in his territory to lease a port after the meeting.

Halfway through the implementation of this plan, it was ordered to stop by the Northern Consulate General.

It is said that this is a violation of the authority of the lord, and that all the ports belong to the great king, and as the lords have no right to lease each other,

It is said that the messenger was slapped on the spot by the same Master Legus, and then soaked in sticky oil, stained with green máo, tied to the horse and rushed back.

For this poor and crazy guy, the Consulate General's Office can't do anything for the time being,

I don't have any family background, so I am naturally not afraid of the threat of the northern commander-in-chief, who will cut off my financial route, and who I will be anxious with.

Just when the fat man was talking to Nilai in a low voice,

In the distance, a merchant ship from Majestic sailed into the public port, trembling and trembling, and the first to come down were more than a dozen heroic guards.

They were wearing tight chain mail, slightly grayish brimmed hats with long tassels,

This is the decorative feature of the Ronde NV people,

atmospheric and jīng fine,

The wide-brimmed short sword of the Virtuous people carried at their waists made them a little more charming in their majesty.

Long hair shawl, looking beautiful and capable.

Their appearance naturally aroused the curiosity of many people, and many people's eyes looked at this side from afar.

The well-informed people began to whisper about these nvshì guards with brimmed hats,

Such NV people generally do not appear in public, and their fair skin and the arrogance on their faces tell everyone,

They're no ordinary guards.

The Roude people are a very military people, and they are the only country on the entire continent with an NV commander.

The famous commander of the Philippine Red Army is one of the three major American NVs of the Kingdom of Virtue, Crimson Rui, who commanded 40,000 Scarlet Red Army soldiers who fought bravely and fearlessly.

Often in siege battles to break the city, in the bloody battle to fight the prestige, so also called by her enemies

"July Crimson"

But there is also a saying that July Crimson is talking about the Yàn beauty of this NV person, who likes to wear red sè armor when he is in command of operations.

The little bit of Mu red in the army is like a maple leaf dyed red in July,

After a while. From the cruise ship, a few beautiful and noble NV people came down, they whispered and laughed with each other, and the form was very intimate.

On the contrary, he didn't seem to care much about the surrounding qiē, and he didn't care about everyone's curious gaze.

It seems that they have long been accustomed to a life of attention.

Behind them, there was a large retinue. It seemed that it should be their servants, and they hurriedly hugged them to the dock,

Among these NV people, a well-mannered girl seems inconspicuous, but very special,

Several NV people next to her gathered around her, seemingly laughing and talking, but in fact, they looked around extremely cautiously, separating any eyes that might look directly at the girl

The girl walked silently,

From time to time, with mí blank and curious eyes, he looked at the surrounding qiē.

She is naturally Crimson, in order to cover herself,

First, he sent his own shìwei to disguise himself as a noble beauty to attract the attention of the crowd on the port, but he was deeply hidden in the subsequent servants.

This time, in order to balance the influence of Vekia on the northern part of Saland,,

The new Governor of the North, Jahaldo, insisted that the Winter Veil Festival in northern Salander should be a stage for Salander to show his strength, rather than a feast for Wikibian merchants.

Therefore, the kingdom of Rodd was specially invited to send people to participate,

After considering that Salander can be an ally against the threat of Southwest Wikia,

The kingdom of Roude sent Fei Hongrui, the captain of the NV legion,

Hoping to use her delicacy and affinity to establish a hidden line of contact in the north of Salander,

"Miss, do you think we're going to Hutu Beien first?"

A beautiful man dressed in a splendid costume took the opportunity to take the handkerchief and whispered in the girl's ear

"No, let's go to Heckling first, there are still ten days before the Winter Veil Festival, and we are afraid that our identity will be disgusted by the Salander people too early.

I heard that it is the most prosperous port in the north of Salander, and if we can get their support, our kingdom will definitely be able to take this opportunity to gain a firm foothold in Salander."

The girl shook her head slightly and waved her hand at the beautiful man.

The face is indifferent, but the tone is full of an unquestionable taste, which is a natural habit formed by being in a dominant position all year round

The morning sun shone on the sea, and the merchant ships were still preparing to enter the harbor.

Crimson Rui first saw the strange crane, and vaguely seemed to know that this thing that could lift huge goods was called a crane.

It was the invention of the merchants of Vecchia, and this kind of equipment has also been seen in some ports of Roude, but it is not as dense as here.

In fact, she was already touched by the prosperity of this place, the kingdom of Roude was a traditional agricultural kingdom, and merchants had always been in a suppressed position.

The people of Roude do not believe in merchants, let alone that merchants will promote such a prosperous scene.

But a Vekia was already there, and now the entire continent was looking at the merchant kingdom with a sleepy gaze

Slowly looking around, she did feel a lot of emotion.

Began to be gradually shocked by the vitality of the businessman's awakening. From this ordinary port, Crimson Rui has been able to feel a lot of things personally.

"It's already so bustling here, I don't know what it's like to see Vikia across the channel"

Crimson stopped at the corner of the pier, raised her head, and looked at the sea in the distance with a deep gaze.

White sails like a forest, everywhere is full of life,

Behind her, there were also a large number of porters, busy moving boxes from the cruise ship one by one.

Each of these boxes is one meter high, two meters long, and two meters wide, and they are tightly bound, and the boxes are sealed with red sè, which are slowly lifted by a crane with long rods, and stacked in rows of goods in the port.

These are a large number of gold coins, Crimson Rui sighed secretly in his heart

In just half a day, at least hundreds of ships have been sailed, and these previously unimaginable scenes are too shocking to her nerves.

She wanted to take a closer look at what kind of vitality the area ruled by that man was.

What is it that makes a small and weak southwestern country defeat the powerful Ruierdian cavalry spear in one fell swoop with unstoppable momentum in just a few years, and break the sharp scimitar of the Kujits. Become the well-deserved overlord of the southwest of the continent,

Even Ragnar, who was high up and defeated his old enemy in the south, was alarmed

"When you come back, either take your shield with you or lie on it - these are the words of a mother who is dressing up her son"

But now, Crimson Rui feels that there are some things that need to be changed in this sentence,

War is no longer just a duel of courage, it seems that the man is right, the war is still economic

Crimson Rui looked around in the harbor,

Thinking that when he left Kyoto, the vice minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Lord Soldon himself said to himself,

This quote is said to come from the Southwest Vekia Falcon, speaking at a meeting of officers,

This is also a problem that has been trapped in crimson for a long, long time.

She is not like others, who simply think that the victory of the Vikchian army is only a technical victory.

You know, the Vikia army is also known for being good at fighting tough battles
