As the entire Middle-earth Continent officially entered winter, the Steppe Wolf Cavalry Squadron that His Majesty had promised to Chang Hao before also began to intervene in the patrol of the northern border of the kingdom.

The northern border of the orc kingdom is lined with mountains that block the dust that blows from the desert realm. When there were no lords in the Bright Field, the steppe wolf cavalry belonging to the Iron Crown Legion in the northern provinces would divide into several teams and patrol the border for up to three months until spring came.

When the two troll tribes in the Varonian Wasteland had not been cleared by Chang Hao before, these daring trolls would not only attack the caravans passing by, but sometimes they would attack the baggage supply convoy of the wolf cavalry when they were hungry, which brought a lot of trouble to the Iron King Champion Regiment. Later, when they learned that the trolls had been cleared by the new lord, they were grateful to the lord they had never met for speaking out on their behalf.

So later, when the wolf cavalry squadron of the Iron King Champion Regiment got the task of helping Guangming Ye patrol the border line, they didn't have any rejection, so they took it as a gratitude.

A team of people in the Varonian Wasteland has stepped through the snow, led by the wolf cavalry of the Iron King's Champions. These warriors of the wolf clan are neatly dressed, carrying scimitars at their waists, and they are all giant wolves, not to mention majestic and mighty, and there is not even a single miscellaneous hair on their bodies, and they are obviously the northern steppe wolves with the purest blood.

These wolf cavalrymen have grass-gray feathers on their military caps, representing their status as Iron Crown wolf cavalry. Due to the shortage of metal resources in the orc kingdom, only nobles were issued metal badges, and the soldiers below had to use animal feathers.

But what is strange is that these elite cavalry of the northern provinces escorted not a heavy convoy, but hundreds of tall minotaurs.

Chang Hao saw those minotaurs from a distance, and he couldn't stop smiling.

These minotaurs were none other than the two hundred minotaur craftsmen who Chang Hao had written to His Majesty the King before he set off for the Taimudar Snow Mountain.

Since Chang Hao returned to Guangmingye from the capital Pompeii, he began to send people to the central province on a regular basis to send a large amount of mined iron ore. Even if these iron ores were only removed by the most basic impurities, they had completely crushed the level of craftsmen in the current stage of the kingdom. King Resak was very satisfied with these high-quality iron ores, so when he received Chang Hao's letter for help, he agreed against all opinions.

Guangmingye's industrial strength has reached a bottleneck, and if you want to develop science and technology and manufacture more modern things, you need many or even many complete assembly lines, and manpower and talents have become the most scarce resources in Guangmingye.

These two hundred minotaur craftsmen are just a drop in the bucket, but they are better than nothing, and Chang Hao also knows very well that as far as the reserve of artisan blacksmiths in the orc kingdom is concerned, His Majesty the King is willing to approve his application, which is already very much to give him face as a little viscount.

And recently, Chang Ge also discussed with him in private, preparing to apply to the central province to let more orcs with excellent physical fitness and not afraid of heights join the army in Guangmingye, and at the same time, she is also ready to start making the existing troops in Guangguangye more modern.

The manpower and material resources required for this kind of big action are astronomical in all aspects.

Chang Hao understood what the old sister meant, but these had to wait until the winter offensive passed, and only if they won this battle could he go and talk to His Majesty the King and Dante's officiating lion. If they lose, let alone ask for money, whether they can continue to be a lord is still two words.

"I used to watch movies and said that the dwarf craftsmen were very powerful, and I had to go to the Iron Hills to trick some dwarves back when I had time in the future. "Some shameless lord is having a bad stomach.

"There are a total of 217 Minotaur craftsmen of the Bir tribe, you can count them, there are a lot of them. "Walker, the leader of the Steppe Wolf Cavalry Squadron, was going through the personnel handover procedures with Herbert, and his subordinates saw the standard Yang Yan armor that Herbert was wearing, and the reassuring thickness of the armor made them suffer from pink eye in the next second.

What the hell, Guangmingye is a private territory, and these people are also the so-called militia, how do you think their equipment seems to be better than that of the regular army?

Walker looked at the Varonian Wasteland, and his thoughts drifted away.

The caravans of the humans often enter the territory of the orc kingdom from the northern border, and some caravans that do serious business and have strong capital will pay a high price for the wolf cavalry of the Iron King Champion Regiment to escort them throughout the journey. Walker was often assigned to protect the caravans, and he was so familiar with the Varonian Wasteland that he could walk back and forth with his eyes closed, and he and his squadron were said to be very popular with human caravans.

The reason couldn't be simpler, because he was upright and never took back the buckle.

"Good work, wolf cavalry from the Iron Crown. Squadron Leader Walker, why don't you stay and have lunch together?"

Walker looked up, and he was greeted by a viscount robe as white as snow, with an iron nobleman's medal pinned to the collar, and a young man with black hair walking towards him, with a warm smile on his face that could melt snow and ice.

"On behalf of the Iron Crown Wolf Cavalry Squadron, I thank you for your kindness, Lord Chang Hao. Walker bowed his head and stroked his chest in a rare salute, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

In the Iron King Champion Group, there are many generals with higher status than the Viscount, and there are two reasons why he can bow his head to it. The first is that this young man relied on his military exploits in Mordor to obtain his noble status and territory in a dignified manner; second, because Guangguang Ye has been providing a series of services such as a transit station for the steppe wolf cavalry in the winter offensive plan formulated by the kingdom, so that the wolf cavalry who go to the border no longer have to travel long distances to and from the border and the military headquarters, and directly rest in Guangye, and then return to the border, saving them a lot of time and energy.

"Come on, Squadron Leader Walker, I have asked the people below to prepare good wine and food, and it won't taste good if it's cold. Chang Hao walked up to the squadron leader and shook his hand.

"I heard that the brother who changed the guard before said that the food of Guangye is the world, so this time I will disturb Lord Chang Hao. It's just that we still have a task to do later, and we can eat food, but we can't touch the wine. The military regulations are strict, please forgive me Lord Chang Hao. Walker explained to Chang Hao while motioning for his men to feed the wolves.

"No problem, let's replace wine with tea!" Chang Hao laughed.

Coming to the thousand-person canteen in Guangming Ye, the exquisite and delicious dishes were quickly presented by the curvaceous cat lady maids, and the wolf cavalry could not bear it, showing what a textbook-level "gobbling up", and the good things on the entire long table disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Squadron Leader Walker was the only one among the wolf cavalry who ate slowly, and he was surprised to find that the young nobleman was dining with his people, rather than in a solitary luxurious room like other nobles.

When talking about this issue, Chang Hao answered Squadron Leader's doubts with two sentences: "It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone" and "from the people, to the people".

Because of these two sentences, Walker savored them for a long time, and his eyes became much softer when he looked at Chang Hao, obviously the nobleman in front of him was very different from what he had seen before.

"Is it convenient for the squadron leader to tell me what is going on on the other side of the border?" Seeing that the time was almost up, Chang Hao raised his teacup to Walker and asked.

Walker hesitated for a moment, and then relieved, this is not a military secret, as long as you have the heart to check, you will soon have news, it is better for him to sell personal favors.

"Just half a month ago, the headquarters of the Iron King Champion Regiment received reliable information that when the first group of wolf cavalry was patrolling the northern border mountain range, they encountered well-equipped human scouts, and the two sides fought several times, and each other was damaged. ”

Walker was afraid that this lord did not understand military common sense, so he kindly explained: "According to the long-standing troop advance habits of the Human Empire, the scouts will not be more than ten kilometers away from the large army in their rear, which means that those two mercenary groups are likely to have entered the territory of our orc kingdom now." ”

Chang Hao nodded, and just wanted to say something more, Walker had already stood up and put on his military hat, stretched out his hand and said: "Thank you Lord Chang Hao for your hospitality, we still have a task to do, we need to rush to the meeting place before evening, so we won't bother." ”

"Pack me a few bags of cooked beef, and let the wolf cavalry brothers take them to eat on the road!" Chang Hao shouted towards the back kitchen, and soon someone came out carrying sacks of cooked beef.

Walker took a deep look at Chang Hao, saluted a solemn military salute, took the sack and turned to leave with the brothers.

At the height of the Guangming Ye Palace, Chang Hao looked at the backs of the wolf cavalry who had gone away, and his brows were twisted into Sichuan characters, until Lu Keke, the cat lady with folded ears, appeared beside him.

"Boss, what is the reason why you called me here?" Lu Coco, who was dressed as a maid, was particularly pretty. Now, in addition to being trained in maid etiquette, she and her entire Folded Ear Cat clan are also secretly undergoing extremely formal scout training.

Compared to before, it seems that Lu Keke has only become taller and more beautiful at first glance, and her strength has long been different.

"This team of wolf cavalry will have some trouble... It didn't happen, but I could vaguely anticipate it. Chang Hao's face was very bad, when he reached the Jindan Realm, his intuition became very sharp, and he saw a very unlucky omen on the face of the squadron leader named Walker just now.

"Do you need me to follow them quietly, boss?" Lucoco's cat tail flicked, and her words were full of confidence, knowing that Lord Anna, who was a temple priest, also privately praised them as battle maids, and thorny wild roses.

"Well, Lucoco, you take your reliable teammates and sneak five kilometers downwind of them, making sure you don't get caught by them. Use this if you find a dangerous situation that you can't handle. Chang Hao turned around and rubbed Lu Coco's head, and took out a piece of rune paper with strange patterns for her.

"Rest assured owner. Lu Keke took the talisman paper, rubbed Chang Hao's palm affectionately, and the next moment he jumped down from the height of the main hall and disappeared between the buildings.
