Chapter Twenty-Three: The Great Circle

More than ten days later, Hemmer led the army back to the familiar town of Ironthorn, and through the wind and snow, he could vaguely see the towering spires and dark walls in the distance.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "This golden nest and silver nest can't compare to the iron nest in Iron Thorn Town." ”

Despite the cold and barren nature of Nagaros and the harsh environment of Ironsphorn, which often snowed all night, Hemmer had made it his home. The luxury estates of Anaheim, while good, have no sense of belonging.

As their group approached the city wall, the patrolling Kehir saw his purple Pegasus banner and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened, and at the same time notified the old mayor Fezain to pick it up.

The troops returning from the expedition were warmly welcomed at the entrance of the town.

The dark elves are a slave society, the people basically do not work, most of the work is done by the slaves in the family, their daily life is very leisurely, when there is no military action, they stay at home and enjoy the creation of man, catch the low-level civilians to sacrifice Kane, and in times of war, they wear armor to join the army, and carry out traditional handicrafts such as looting and slaughter.

In short, the life of the dark elves is to either make people or kill people, highlighting an unpretentious and unpretentious one.

So whenever there is any group activity, a group of people who have been at home for a long time have run out of their homes to join in the fun.

For example, the return of the Hemmer Army, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are thousands of empty alleys. Victorious lords are as popular as the big stars on the blue star.

"We've arrived at the cosmopolitan city of Iron Thorn, my family. Oh, it's so beautiful. Helmer rode his tall horse and greeted the cheering civilians on either side.

There is quite a spring breeze and horseshoe disease, and you can see the chic spirit of Chang'an flowers in one day.

The town of Iron Thorn was still bustling, the streets were clean and tidy, the law and order were strict, and there were even a few more landmarks, and Hemmer knew that Faizain and Khir were doing a good job, and patted them on the shoulder affectionately to affirm their work.

He ordered Khir to return to the camp with his soldiers, and at the same time sent Anzales to go door-to-door to distribute pensions.

As for the more than 2,000 High Elf slaves brought back, due to the large number of people, there are not enough houses in the town to provide shelter, Hemmer called Fezain, and the two pondered in the lord's room for a while, and decided to set up a separate area on the right side of Ironsphorn Town, and let the slaves set up tents there first to solve the current emergency. At the same time, the city walls on the left and right sides were demolished to expand the scale of Iron Thorn Town.

On the left side of Ironthorn is near the foot of the Titan Peaks, with a rugged mountainous terrain and a large plain suitable for stocking cold lizards, which is the perfect place to build a corral. The terrain on the right side is relatively flat, and Hemmer has planned it as the main direction of expansion, and the first goal is to establish a new housing complex and solve the housing problem of the slaves.

Materials used and supplies can be purchased at any time from Quintex City and Hiradro Taal City.

Hemmer arrogantly said that Fazzain could spend as much as he wanted, and anyway, now that the vault is full, we are not short of money.

After discussing the specifics, Hemmer asked Fezzain to go back and think of concrete steps to start construction as soon as possible.

With financial and material resources, Uncle Fei patted his shoulders and promised to complete the task, and left the lord's manor in high spirits.

For most of the day, Hemmer had settled the military and political issues, and after taking a breath, he took out a huge world map and spread it on the floor.

He took off his shoes, picked up a red pen and began to sketch on the map, thinking about his future.

From the map, the terrain of Nagaros in the far north of the New World is very similar to North America on the Blue Star, with continuous Titans, Black Ridge Mountains, Obsidian Peaks and other natural hazards to the west, and the void where the winds of magic are entrenched in the west.

"The West is the absolute security rear. The Dark Elves' current main enemies come from three other directions. ”

Hemmer circled it with a red pen in the Frost Iron Mountains north of Nagarond, along with the provinces of Deadwood and Akur Wasteland to the east.

Then there is the Lustrian Mountains south of the city of Hiradro-Tar, and the island of Osune, a toilet circle in the vast ocean to the southeast.

There are three large circles in total, all of which are the territory of the Dark Elf enemy.

If he wants to expand his power, the best way out is to fight the Nagaros region occupied by the dark elves, and live a long time when the emperor is far away.

So he needs to choose one of these three circles as a strategic target to attack.

"First of all, this circle in the far north is inhabited by the Chaos tribe. From time to time, they would raid south, but with the Witch King himself in Nagarond to defend against the invasion, the barbarians should not be feared. As for the Norscans plundering fleets that constantly wandered from the east, they couldn't even enter the two major inland seas of the Sea of Evil Resentment and the Sea of Cold Heart, and they would be wiped out by the fleets dispatched from various seaports, and they were the younger brother of the younger brothers. I'm afraid I can't get my foot in this place. ”

Not to mention that the northern defense line is too far away from the Iron Thorn Town where he is now, and he can lead the army to work for the Witch King in the past to fight against the endless chaos invasions.

If you think about it a little more, even if you can conquer the barbarian territory, the barren and harsh land there will not be able to support Hemmer's troops.

People are poor, that's why they go south to rob, why do you still want to rob people? The barbarian deserves to be robbed by you?

Hemmer himself felt that it was too much, and hurriedly drew a cross on the Arctic North Circle.

"As for the island of Osune in the southeast... Many High Elf kingdoms on the toilet seat have become allies with each other, and although they usually organize some traditional arts of internal fighting, they still have enemies at critical moments. In addition, there is a powerful giant dragon ship fleet patrolling the vast ocean, unless Aunt Mo makes a move, I am afraid that with my military strength, I will not even be able to go to the island. ”

Hemmer doesn't even have a working Black Ark now, and there are only dozens of Ark pirates who are familiar with naval warfare.

So he drew a cross on the toilet seat.

"Then only the last direction remains. Marched south, into the mountains of Lustria. ”

The current Lustrian Mountains are full of virtuous people, and they are less salty; Not only the native lizardman lord Mazdamudi, but also the Skaven of the Blight Clan, the expeditionary force of the Imperial Hunter Marshal, and the raiding tribe of Nosca, the four races are burning with passion and mingling here.

If Hemmer intervened on behalf of the Dark Elves, it would be the standard battle of the Five Armies.

The whole of Lustia was a mess.

"But it's good to mess around, hehe. Don't you hear that the times create heroes, and heroes are also timely? ”

Hemmer thinks he's a cheater, and if he's not a hero, he's going to have to be a hero.

As soon as he said it, Hemmer immediately began to prepare a plan to attack and march into the province of Lustchia.

The Lost Gate occupied by the Skaven was the closest to him, making it a prime military target for Hemer.

However, Hemmer was still a little apprehensive, after all, the Skaven rat people were notoriously difficult to deal with.

What dimension raises the gun, what rat terring, deep pit abomination, how disgusting how to come.

Helmer only hoped that the rats of the Rodent Tribe were not equipped with these black technologies and modified monsters.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Eliden walked in with long sexy legs, and when he saw Hemmer sitting on the map sketching, he couldn't help but wonder, "Lord Hermer, what are you doing here?" ”

"Damn, why is she here?" Hemmer suddenly became a thief.

He is now planning a big thing to stand on his own, in case he is exposed in front of Eliden and stabbed to Aunt Mo, which is enough for him to die hundreds of times.

After a lot of thoughts, Hemer suddenly thought of something, smiled, and quickly pulled Eliden affectionately, "Come, show you my plan." ”

Hemmer grabbed his pen and slid all the way to the southern province of Lustria, creeping through the jungles, turning east to the Vampire Coast, then east across the vast southern oceans, into the Great Desert of Arabi in the Old World, continuing upwards through the Greenskin Badlands, Bretonnia and the Imperial Territory, then through the Tsar of Kislev, into the chaotic wilderness of Akrol, and returning to the starting point of Nagarus.

Hemmer drew a large red circle on the map, then pointed to the location of Ironthorn Town, and said to Eliden, who was lying on the map watching with him: "We are here now, if we can help the empress and the witch king kill him in this territory, then when the time comes, the world will be under the rule of Duruzzi, and we will be able to return home with honor." ”

"Such a big circle?" Eliden hurriedly shook his head, "Can we finish walking?" ”

Hemmer smiled and hooked Eliden's shoulder, "Little sister, follow your brother well, I will definitely take you through this picture." ”

Of course, whether it was for the Witch King and Morath or not, only Hemmer himself knew.
