The next morning, the fat man's horse team finally stepped into the highlands on the edge of the Black Forest, the cold wind blows, making people feel refreshed, in the quiet woodland, only the sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the ground of the rain and snow can be heard, occasionally mixed with a few sounds of being crushed by the horse's hooves to break the branches, at the border in front, the early sun sprinkled into the forest, creating an illusionary and unreal beautiful world, a heavy snow covered the forest all over the mountains with a layer of snow white, the vast wilderness that stretches for hundreds of miles here began to turn into a large area of dark green, covered with snow-covered land, a large area of forest dotted on it, the horse team stopped at the slope of the highland,

The fat man looked at the pure white earth in front of him with some distraction, and the cloud-like canopy in the distance almost blocked the boundary of the earth.

Before leaving, the fat man had sent someone to the place where he killed yesterday to see, the corpses in the snow forest were cleaned up, leaving no traces, Su Ke Bailing has her own set of handling methods, don't work hard to be careful, the fat man also believes that Su Ke Bai Ling will be tight-lipped about this attack,

The news of the death of the young master of the Punk clan is believed to be spread throughout the Black Forest soon, and the Sukh clan will soon become the target of crusade from all sides, although it is the punk law that the despicable villain designed the trap in front, but the few Punk people who fled back will never mention this point, the fat man can imagine that in the other party's words about the cause and effect of last night, it must be another version,

The biggest possibility is that Baike Su Ling colluded with outsiders to ambush the unsuspecting young master of the Punk tribe, and led the young master of the Punk tribe and more than a dozen Punk warriors to die tragically, as the only party who survived that night, if Su Ke Bailing is not a fool, the only way is to never admit that there were outsiders that night, otherwise even if he jumped into the river, he would not be able to wash away the suspicion in the eyes of everyone

"Your Majesty, ahead is our army's camp outside the Black Forest!" said the guard who led the way, pointing to a mountain rock in the distance.

The horse team marched through this white world for about an hour. Leaves a long hoof print. Looking at it for a long time, the fat man's keen and abnormal gaze passed through the snow in front of him, looking at the huge city wall revealed on a high ground in the distance, like an unreal ruin, suddenly appeared in the unknown ahead, the snow fell, and a team of black-armored cavalry greeted him from the exit of the snow-covered city wall in front,

The fat man looked at the approacher with a cold face, and the officer in the lead was a thirty-year-old squadron leader.

When he reached the first ten steps of the fat horse, he stopped at the horse. The middle-aged officer's eyes swept over the guard armor on the fat man's body that could not be seen, and he hurriedly dismounted and saluted respectfully, and said, "This lord, below is Biangsu of the 11th Squadron of the local garrison, and I am here to greet him on the order of the Governor's Palace."

"Captain Biangsu, it's hard to come out to greet you with such heavy snow!" the fat man nodded on his horse

"There, it's my Rong Xin who can receive Shangguan!" Biangsu looked a little nervous and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He straightened up on his horse, and cautiously glanced at the black-armored guards lined up behind the fat man, flashing a look of horror that could not be concealed

These black-armored knights, dressed in light armor, were cavalrymen like themselves. But the crude armor on his body, compared with others, is like slag, and the light black armor on the other party is obviously a boutique made by Seiko. Although lightweight, it shines with the dark luster left behind by the forging of fine black iron,

The mark on his chest is a silver emblem of a white thorn flower unique to the Central Army, and a scarlet cloak that does not stick to snowflakes flutters behind him.

The war horse was stout and tall, half a horse's head taller than his side, the nose wings were spraying white mist in the cold wind, and in the weapon slot of the war horse, there were improved cavalry assault crossbows and short cross tail inserted side by side that only the Guards cavalry belonged to, although it only stopped still in front of it, but it brought a bloody smell wafting in the cold wind, "This is probably the rumored Imperial Guard!"

This middle- and lower-level officer of the Southern Army was shocked beyond comprehension, and in the cold snow season, his fingers holding the reins of the horse were even a little sweaty,

He didn't expect that this time it was the rumored Imperial Guards, and the person who was following these Imperial Guards, although he didn't know who it was, but since the Southern Governor's Mansion had personally sent an order to fully cooperate, and such a device, it showed that his identity must be very noble. "Listen to your name, it should be a Sarande!" The fat man looked at Biangsu, who was a little nervous, and slowly instigated his war horse to go over, and spit out a sentence of Salander with a round accent, "Yes, in fact, I am a southerner on the edge of the Black Forest" Biangsu on the other side paused for a moment, hesitated for a while, and then responded with a full face, "Oh, when did you join the army?" "When I was fleeing last November, I joined the Imperial Army in the north of Saland"

Bironsu replied, "Because I am familiar with the situation in this place, I was transferred here from the Legion Headquarters in July this year, which is really surprising to say, I never dreamed that I would have the opportunity to return to my hometown in this life, and the scattered fallen leaves will eventually return to the roots!

The fat man could hear the deep coldness in the tone of the squadron leader, he remembered that in July, he had instructed the southern governor Statunko to recruit 2 Salander local flag regiments from the Salander army in the north, the number was about 15,000 people, mainly stationed in the south of Salander to be responsible for the security of various places, the storage of these troops belonged more to a kind of security force, the squadron leader's chest, although the badge of the southern army could be seen, but there was no silver brief of the main combat unit, which was enough to show that this Biansu squadron leader should be one of the officers

While the two were talking, the horse team slowly entered the interior of the city wall in front of them.

The fat man looked carefully, the entire fortress was more than 1,000 meters long and wide, based on a wild abrupt plateau, like a pair of eyes looking down on the Black Forest area, the huge stones that had experienced hundreds of years of wind and snow, and the mottled dark black stones were exposed in the snowflakes, which became more and more revealing of the weight of history and a bit of coldness for the ups and downs of the dynasty.

This Black Forest fortress, built in the early stage of the Salander Kingdom, when the Salander people had just crossed the sea, in order to resist the enemy who may come from the central part at any time, and built this garrison fortress, once witnessed the rise of the Salander people, with the migration of the years, here later as a garrison bunker to monitor the Black Forest criminals and exist, in order to build this large fortress, the Salander people used more than 50,000 manpower, and also deliberately transported the hard stone from the central part of the local shortage, it took a full ten years to complete,

With the fall of the southern part of Salander to the Normans, this fortress of special significance has lost its significance and has been abandoned for most of the year, and now serves as a garrison of the Falcon South, mainly responsible for the safety of caravans to and from the edge of the Black Forest. "I don't know, this time the adults are here to ......" Seeing that the unknown Shangguan was a little distracted, Biangsu asked cautiously beside him, but he touched the fat man's deep eyes, and a chill made him shiver and quickly looked away. "Nothing special," the fat man laughed, casually raised the horsewhip in his hand, and pointed to the distance and said, "I just want to know how the Black Forest side will react if the Empire were to build a road transportation line across the entire southern part of the Black Forest region." “

"Ah, do you mean that this road will pass through the entire Black Forest?" Bionsu's body shook slightly, and he looked at the fat man with some disbelief, as if he was shocked by the news, "It seems that you don't want to see such a thing happen!"

The fat man took in his expression, and his heart was slightly dark, this time he was mainly for the construction of the Morro Military Port, the southern part of the Black Forest has the wood needed to build warships, but it lacks roads that can be used for transportation, but if such a transportation road is to be built, it will inevitably touch the nerves of the interests of all parties near the Black Forest,

And the fat man has another reason that can't be said, if there is a road in the Black Forest, then the self-isolation of the Black Forest is basically cracked, and in a few years, this area independent of the empire will be completely assimilated by the empire, with the road, the empire's army can also reduce the travel time from the central to the south, although it will not be the morning and evening, but it can also shorten the original 3 days to a day and a half, for the empire, this road is a huge benefit both economically and militarily" No, on the contrary, if the adults really had such thoughts, I am sure that everyone in the Black Forest would be happy!" said Bionsu with unexpected excitement, "Why?"

"If it had been before, it would have been absolutely impossible to cross the entire Black Forest" Biangsu's eyes lit up, and he talked eloquently to this unknown Shangguan, the expression on his face was very excited. But now it's different, the war shook the inherent system of the Black Forest, so that many people in the Black Forest have been outside when they fled, and the news they brought back has broken the self-sufficient economic model of the Black Forest, they have proposed to trade with the outside world, and privately set up caravans, attracting more and more young people, giving up the protection laws that have been observed for generations, choosing to go out of the Black Forest, to find their own side of the world, and the tribes in the Black Forest, also under this general trend, are very eager to find cooperation with the outside world, a faster and more convenient way of business,

Biansu's voice stopped, and continued, "If it weren't for the fact that this project is too big, and no tribe can complete it alone, or there might have been a road crossing it in the Black Forest!" "That's right!" The fat man was silent for a while, Biangsu's statement did make some sense, but he didn't expect that the problem he felt had a headache would be solved like this, at this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and a black-armored cavalry looked nervous and rode his horse from outside the fortress,

Bionsu hurriedly confessed a crime to the fat man, and then greeted the herald cavalry "Heru, what's wrong" Biangsu stopped the herald cavalryman

"Out of ...... Something is wrong!" The herald cavalry in charge of the outer border guard said breathlessly, "I don't know why, this morning, the Punks of the Black Forest suddenly united the tribes, and at the same time issued a crusade order to the Sukhs, and have already gathered more than four thousand warriors on the border, and the fight will soon begin" (To be continued.) )
