Chapter 108: Unexpected
Because the people of the raiding group have developed the habit of not having to worry about anything when led by Commander Cao, their journey process day and night is like speeding up the tour many times. The final destination is the surprising right pass of the Great Snow Mountain of Michael Jordan, which is too surprising. This was not an illusion, even if the eyesight of the rest of the raiding group was not as perverted as that of Captain Cao, they could clearly see a huge gap in the middle of the black line.
The snow-capped mountains of Michael Jordan stretch for thousands of miles, like a natural barrier, directly cutting off the Pan-American continent into two parts, north and south. It stands here for eternity, proudly looking down on the world, witnessing the vicissitudes of the entire continent. This super-invincible mountain range is not good or bad, but the Bimon orcs and the natives of the southern Pan-American continent have a very special affection for it. If it weren't for the existence of this pure natural barrier, the iron hooves of the human world would have already traveled all over the Pan-American continent, and in all corners of Buwu, where would there be living space for other intelligent races?
Even today, the people who live south of the snowy mountains of Michael Jordan still rely on this barrier to survive, and without it, no one knows what would have happened. Strictly speaking, human beings occupy most of the rivers and mountains in the north of the Pan-American continent, and it is also the most resource-rich territory. The other intelligent races that still live north of the snowy mountains of Michael Jordan are all struggling to survive in the cracks of the human world, or just hiding in the deep mountains and old forests that are inaccessible. With the progress of human world civilization, the living space left for them is getting smaller and smaller, and sooner or later, they will be forced to a dead end. Wise people know that the current era of peace is only temporary.
If one day, the human world has changed, and a super-empire has been born. Then the entire northern part of the Pan-American continent is all the same. And on that day, the wisdom of the hundred tribes living south of the Great Snow Mountain of Michael Jordan was about to come to an end. This is not alarmist, the current human world, through guò's long-term conquest and integration, has formed a situation of confrontation between two powers, on one side is the powerful Rex Empire, and on the other hand, the Celtic Empire is not inferior. The other human kingdoms or small principalities have become vassals and cannon fodder of these two camps.
The subtle integration of economy, politics and culture is like a cocktail stirring. If one of the chemistry is not right, a terrifying war will break out immediately, and it will not end until only one of the two giants remains. The two giants seem to be sleeping soundly now, but smart people will never think that they will really sleep for a long time, and these two giants sleep with one eye open and one eye closed, depending on who can't hold their breath first.
Commander Cao can be regarded as knowing a lot of news about the human world from Kuban's mouth, almost every day, local wars are breaking out in the middle of these two empires, and more or less the figures of their two countries are flashing in it. If it weren't for their secret drive and push. How can there be so many battles every day? Hegemony is undoubtedly terrifying, and the dwarves who are in front of these two giants, that is, those small kingdoms and principalities, have almost become pawns in their game. Even a wise person like Old Man Ao. I also dare not say when this contradiction will reach a critical point.
In addition to the battle of the century that would eventually break out between them, they also obviously had other plans, that is, the area south of the Great Snow Mountain of Michael Jordan, this place. In terms of the overall situation, it is also a strategic buffer zone between the two great empires. Here they compete for economic assimilation, and who occupies a larger market here.
Michael Jordan has a mountain pass on the east and west sides of the snowy mountain. And these two mountain passes are also in the sphere of influence of the Celtic Empire and the Rex Empire, so both sides have almost the same conditions. Michael Jordan Snow Mountain Range is as high as 10,000 miles, after countless ancestors' exploration, it has already been determined that there are only two gaps, and there is not even a small road in other places, if it were not for this strange geographical structure, I am afraid that the Celtic Empire and the Rex Empire would have already done it.
In comparison, the mountain passes to the west were more dangerous for the Beamon Empire, as they were more open and could be used by large armies. The mountain pass on the west side is worse, this passage is an hourglass-shaped terrain, the two ends are wide but the middle is extremely narrow, it is completely a line of sky, even if it is a passing business group, to the position of a line of sky, can only be entered. It takes at least a day and night for a business travel group of thousands of people to pass through that line of sky.
Therefore, the strategic layout of the Beamon Empire is also very interesting, in the west of the mountain pass, is the territory of Leonardo, the pride of the sky, and the entire empire has given Leonardo huge support, whether it is manpower or material resources, there are almost no reservations, who let that is the throat of the empire? If not, Leonardo would never have developed so fast at the beginning, in disguise, the entire empire is making way for his development, this is the luck.
As for the East Road Pass, the Beamon Empire didn't even ask. The mountain pass in the west, as long as the human army steps over, it is the hinterland of the Beamon Empire, and if you advance a little, it will be the military and political center of the Beamon Empire. Leonardo received tremendous support, and finally developed into the third giant, not giving Pedro and Stern the face of the two real power figures, this is his life choice, his personal charm and strength, there is no doubt. Looking at the entire Beamon Empire, there is no one more qualified to sit there than this handsome silver fox guy.
When he was in Sri Lanka, Captain Cao had heard that as long as Leonardo did not die, then mankind would never want to come over, and the entire Beamon Empire had blind trust in this handsome silver fox. Even if you haven't been to Leonardo's territory once, you have heard about it countless times. Legend has it that even Sri Lanka at the foot of the Beamon Empire is completely inferior to the security in Leonardo's territory, and Raul has said to the cheap big brother Cao Tuan more than once that one of the most powerful areas in the entire Beamon Empire, that is, Leonardo's territory, is really managing his noble territory as solid as gold. Compared to the famous wolf city of Stuttgart, it is even better.
Once when Raul talked about this topic, Captain Cao also said sourly that he is now almost equivalent to the same role as Leonardo. Leonardo guards the West Imperial Road, and Commander Cao is now guarding the East Imperial Road. Moreover, this Exile Realm is not yet a quiet and peaceful place, and it is not easy to establish a foothold here. Head Cao shamelessly said that this was a more successful deal than Lai's handsome guy, but in the end he was sneered at by Prince Raul.
Even Raul gave face to the cheap big brother of Captain Cao, but on this matter of principle, Raul still chose to stick to his heart. The economic strength of the Rex Empire is obviously one level stronger than that of the Celtic Empire, but the Michael Jordan Snow Mountain Pass in their sphere of influence is not at all superior to the Celtic Empire. If they really want to enter the Beamon Empire, as long as they are not brain-dead. I knew that it would be more appropriate to go that way. In Raul's words, if the people of the Rex Empire really want to kill them, just the natives of the various exiled realms who have settled around the mountain pass are enough for them to drink.
In that kind of dangerous terrain where a husband is a man and a man cannot be opened, as long as he does not commit any problems in principle, a straw bag general with a group of pus-bag soldiers can hold on for a long time. If the human race wants to fight, it is not possible unless those high-end forces at the town and country level are dispatched. And the Exiled Realm also has masters, and these hidden masters generally like to pretend to be forced until the most critical moments, and they don't like to come out to swagger. Although Captain Cao has not seen it, he can roughly imagine it. The area of the entire Exile Realm is counted together. It is definitely not inferior to the territory of the Rex Empire or the Celtic Empire, and it is not normal for people to be born without dragons and ghosts.
As for why Head Cao came all the way here with the big guys, no one can say clearly. To be honest, they couldn't even imagine how Regiment Commander Cao had quietly brought them to this strange place that was not part of the raiding group at all. Coming from the mud snail. Not to mention that it is also a thousand miles away, and the bandit forces entrenched along the way are unknown, and as a result, the raiding group has not even seen a single bandit hair along the way, and this route is really special enough. In the midst of these thieves. Just talking about bypassing them completely makes it feel unrealistic.
The soldiers of the raiding regiment are now all Zhang Fei piercing the needle, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they still feel as if they haven't woken up. Not to mention this destination they didn't expect. Even how far they went, no one knew. Along the way, they couldn't even remember that Captain Cao had looked at the map, and it seemed that Commander Cao had planned this route before setting off.
The raiding group of more than 500 people is not big or small, and all of the members are reminiscent of big men who cause trouble. Such a large group of people, all the way here, did not alarm the other bandit forces, this is indeed a bit unbelievable, the head of the Pi sect has even decided to draw the road map on the map for a while, and then see how Captain Cao did it. Not to mention encountering other bandit teams, I haven't even seen the errand runner who is looking out for the wind. If Regiment Leader Cao hadn't been bent on advancing here, he would only be afraid that he would be able to quietly eliminate a lot of bandit dens along the way, and he would not be discovered!
"Boss, I think it's time for our sightseeing tour to end, don't tell me, we have been running for more than ten days in a row, just to do business in this place that does not belong to us. Gail couldn't help frowning, and her delicate face was also wrinkled together, combined with her pair of snow-white pointed ears that shook from time to time, making people feel a lot more relaxed at first glance.
Head Cao nodded, and a "of course" expression was the best answer to Gale's question. Seeing everyone's expressions of seeing the undead, Head Cao affirmed: "Don't doubt it, we're not here for sightseeing." From now on, and for a long time to come, we will most likely be in this place. ”
"Are you crazy? This is already very close to the mountain pass of the Great Snow Mountain of Michael Jordan, do you know what that means? This is not the place where we should come at all, and the natives who are qualified to entrench in this vicinity are very powerful indigenous tribes, I believe the old man has already told you. Scarlett's pretty face also became stern, and almost a layer of frost condensed: "I won't object, nor will I stifle those wild ideas that you may come up with all the time, but at the very least, before you do anything, don't you still discuss with us, and let us know what you plan to do!"
"Yes, this place is definitely not a good place, believe me, we still have to distance ourselves from the people of this place, no matter what the force, we must stay respectful, no one here will make any sense. Once they make them uncomfortable, then they will have a violent outburst, and these guys care more about their face than anyone else. Pi Jiaotou was also worried, since he saw Michael Jordan Snow Mountain appear in sight, Pi Jiaotou was as timid as a different person, and even observed the surrounding situation to hide his head and show his tail, and it seemed that he still did not jump out of that traditional thinking.
As far as the current position of the raiding group is concerned, the head of the Pi sect feels that he may encounter enemies from all sides at any time. It's not that Sect Leader Pi is afraid of how fierce these enemies are, but he doesn't know what Captain Cao's intentions are here!
"Hmph...... If they don't provoke me, they will provoke Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will let them know that the pot is iron!" Captain Cao sneered, and did not take Scarlett's warning seriously. Old Man Ao has said this a long time ago, but Captain Cao's opinion is different from Scarlett's.
As a priest, Scarlett is still very cautious, but what about Captain Cao? This thing is completely an outlaw hob meat, and the view pursued all his life is that those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and a pair of big bare feet also makes people feel that the world is very big. If there is an obstacle, kick it away, this is the easiest way to deal with it...... (To be continued......)
