It was raining, and the drizzle was not a cold feeling, but it wet people's spirits and clothes at the same time, making it impossible to distinguish a drop of extremely fine rain.

The fat man stood on a hill outside the city of Zhivadin, watching the two horse teams disappear at the end of the far road leading to the north, and the focus of his gaze finally turned into a black spot out of reach, completely obscured by a smoke-like drizzle of mist, and could no longer be seen, "The good days are over!"

Somewhat bowed his head, this slut couldn't figure it out, when did natural disasters and man-made disasters have been linked to the happiness of his family, the two princesses of Kujiit, and went back to the northern grassland together to deal with this sudden and early rainstorm

Yesterday, news came from the north, Rui Tangtingna's guess was confirmed, compared with the sudden rainstorm in the south of Vekia, the northern steppe has indeed been a disaster of heavy rain,

Judging from the urgent report delivered, this year's rainy season was more than a month ahead of schedule, so many tribes were not even prepared, and they were hit by the raging torrential rain and thunderstorms.

Not only did the river swell in Dongting due to the torrential rain, causing more than a dozen tribes to abandon the grass and risk being attacked by the enemy, but also the thunderclouds formed in a large area caused more than 20,000 livestock to be frightened and trampled to death.

Such reports continue to increase every day, Rui Tang Tingna asks the fat man to go back to deal with the disaster, and Celes also says that she needs to go back to the grassland, although her status as a princess of the royal court has no real power,

But in terms of Xiting, as a descendant of the real Khan King, Scelis's identity still has a lot of command ability, and the prestige of the Golden Family, as Rui Tang Tingna said, is the recognized king in the hearts of all Kujits, and the mother-in-law who really has the blood of the Golden Family, the fat man can't afford to mess with it.

No one wants to provoke a madman who is always in the dark and likes to harm others and himself, not to mention that Scelis blocked an arrow for herself at a critical moment, if she still expresses her distrust like this, it is estimated that which mother-in-law will also turn her face!

Even Duo Weiyan, who had already completed the repair of Aiche Moer, sent an urgent report with Wang Ting Qingying,

A thunderbolt slashed the top of the main hall of Aichemor that he was building, and this sad buddy was smashed on the spot and vomited blood, although it was not a big deal, but it was not possible to make any big moves for the time being. Seven craftsmen who were in charge of the construction of the roof of the temple were scorched alive by lightning.

This does not bode well for the Kugit people who believe in immortality, so in the West Garden, in order to cope with this rainstorm, Duowei asked the empire to open some of the border areas of the three northern counties, so that the tribes of the West Court can temporarily enter the safe area, and for this request, the fat man has written a letter to Berant Bonnie, who is in charge of the three northern counties. Let her temporarily open the line of the Zamuk Mountains on the border, and allow the Xiting tribe to camp there

In fact, the fat man can't see it, what was struck by lightning is just an excuse,

Xiao Duo, who has just made a fortune. This is afraid of encountering the heavy rain under the Dongting people and dogs jumping over the wall and running across the border to rob themselves.

The Xiting Kujit have always been a crowd tactic for all the people, although the individual combat of the steppe rangers is not as elite as the Dongting cavalry. But the victory is that there are enough people, and the replenishment is fast, and more than 100,000 people can be pulled out at every turn. Even if you are scared, you can scare your opponent into fighting,

And the tribes that were transferred to the border this time are probably all tribes that have been mobilized with their full names, with armor on their upper bodies, bows and strings, and put on a murderous posture, which is obviously a warning to the Dongting people who are anxious in the rainstorm.

Friends come and have good wine, and the wolf comes with a hunting bow! I want to quietly enter the village, but there is no door, the longbow is fast, and none of us is afraid of anyone! The Kujiit people have always been straightforward in their way of doing things, and I believe that the people in the East Court on the other side are also well aware of this, so that they did not raise any protest to the imperial side about the changes in the West Court, and even the fat man sighed slightly, the civil strife is really very affecting people's vision, and the current East and West armies in the East Court are estimated to be only staring at each other, and it seems that they can no longer see their own situation

No matter where the mainland is, whether he is a mercenary, a merchant, a soldier, everyone's nerves are affected by the rainstorm that came in advance in the north of the continent, the caravan rushed to the north with food, ready to make a good profit, the mercenaries saw the business opportunities and poured into the northern border in large numbers, and for a time gathered a temporary trading ground of seventy or eighty thousand people on the border

This kind of trading ground is set up by the border guards, often close to the border, casually fenced off a large area, whether it is inland or steppe people can enter the trade, for the identity of both traders, the border guards in charge of management never ask.

Because this kind of temporary trading ground, to put it bluntly, is an underground black market, where everyone has it, and the things sold are not only food, but also weapons, war horses and even prisoners of war.

The border guards will take five percent of it as taxes, and if nothing is sold, then there is no need to pay a penny, and Berlante Bonnie is really worthy of being a dark female knight who has been specially cultivated by the fat man, and playing this kind of trick is simply like a dead fat man, and the benefits of the underground black market are enough to make the border guards improve their treatment

It is now the most densely populated area of the mainland's underground market, and the grassland tribes that have suffered will definitely sell the best war horses in exchange for food, and the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs has also sent people to intervene and buy 11,000 good war horses at once.

The frontier guards of the empire also moved in this rainy season, and Berlante Bonnie, who received the letter, ordered the border guards to open the pass to the grassland, and mobilized the main force of 20,000 people to advance more than fifty miles in the direction of the Dongting grassland.

The area of the border guards has returned to the position that they deliberately abandoned in winter, like a sharp war knife, slowly pulled out of its scabbard, and the cold is pressing

For a while, the wind was gathering, and it seemed that a hurricane that was more violent than a torrential rain was gathering in the sky above the Dongting grassland

In this situation, the decisive battle between the eastern and western armies had to be postponed.

Otherwise, the people of Dongting really suspect that the decisive battle has not yet ended, and a large number of cavalry from the Xiting side, as well as the imperial army on the border, will not hesitate to cross the border line and level the entire Dongting again.

Time is in this embarrassment, slowly to the middle of June, because of the early arrival of the rainy season on the Dongting grassland, it is already a country, muddy grass and rotten grass roots, under the scorching sun exudes a burst of pressing heat,

In a temporary black market sidefield in the East Courtyard Grassland, a team of black-armored cavalry emerged from the horizon,

In the distance, on the steppe, the roof of the white tent resembles the white clouds of the sky, a wooden fence is generously enclosed outside, and on the top of the white tent, the flag of the Imperial Border Guards flutters listlessly (to be continued). )
