Power and Empire Chapter 3379: South of Thunder (10)
"This is the news that has just been sent back. Karrisu’s 100,000 troops on the southern barren wall began to pull camp this morning. They have crossed the sandstone river at this moment and are heading towards the royal capital, and our scouts In the woodland to the east of the capital, a light cavalry scout of the Martin Liya was found. It seems that the Carlisus Army and the Martin Liya are ready to attack us in two lines." From the window, King Carlisus is full of mottled lows. Looking back on the city wall, Salton, the commander of the Second Army of the Southern Empire, dignifiedly handed the report he had just received to Lighter, the first Kalisu general who walked in, and said in a condensed voice
"Impossible. Although I don't know why the Martin Liya people appeared to the east of the capital, I can be quite sure that the Martin Liya people's light cavalry scouts appeared to the east, not for the two lines to pinch us." Lighter's face was stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head with great certainty to deny "I know the fighting habits of the Martin Liya people. The Martin Liya people in Southern Obaro are hailed as the **** storm from the Martin Liya Prairie. What they do best is sneak attacks. , If the Martin Liya really had dispatched an army to come quietly, they would definitely hide themselves instead of telling us so swaggeringly!"
"Are you saying that the Martin Liya people are making doubts?"
Salton's stern gaze flickered. He also thought that Wright was right. If Martin Liya really sends an army, it should wait until the Carrie Soviet Army and the Imperial Army are fighting, suddenly Killing out will inevitably cause the Imperial Army to suffer a big loss, and it is not impossible to even decide the direction of the battle. Now the Carli Soviet Army has just started drawing, and there are still two to three hundred miles away from the king's belly. Martin Liya people are so impatient. He jumped out and eagerly showed his existence, which was a bit self-defeating. After all, if he really thought that the Martin Liya Army was watching him nearby, then naturally he would not be able to dispatch all his strength to deal with the approaching Kali Soviet Army. ,
"Just by sending a few scouts to show off a few faces, we will be able to contain half of our forces, so that we can only use half of our forces to fight the 100 thousand Kali Soviets. The commander of the Martin Liya people is very "A painful look flashed in Leiter's eyes, and the voice paused, and suddenly increased his tone." If I guess right, the commander of the Martin Leeds might be the famous white fox! If it is really this person, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome!"
"Is the white fox in your mouth the same as the white fox that spurred the battle between Gang Fei and Fazer?"
Salton chewed on the name of the white fox that Wright said in his mouth, walked a few steps back and forth, turned his head and asked, he is not unfamiliar with the name of the white fox, anyway he is also staying on the coast of Fazer West After two years, I have heard a lot about the cause of the war between the Gangfei Empire and Fazer. Among them, the most mentioned is the white fox. Salton can already hear his ears, but this time, he didn't expect himself. Will run into this extremely difficult white fox! If it is really this cunning white fox, then Martin Liyajun appears in the woodland east of the capital, it seems quite problematic!
"It should be him, the plan to move northward of the Karrisu royal family. If I am not mistaken, it should be him who pushed behind and gave it to the Karrisu royal family!"
Letter’s complexion sighed. "I have to admit that the white fox is quite familiar with the situation of my Kariso. The dense forest area of my Kariso is hot and humid all year round, and the land area for growing crops is extremely scarce, so I have to admit it. The main source of food for the Sioux people is hunting, hunting various animals in the dense forest to eat, and some plant fruits in the dense forest are used as a supplement, but the entire Khalisu dense forest is so big, or when they first migrated here, the food is quite sufficient. , But with more than a hundred years of multiplication, the population has soared from 80,000 people who originally migrated to more than 1.6 million, and the population is twenty times that of when it first came."
"Such a huge population consumption will only make the Kingdom of Kallithu overwhelmed. If the Kingdom of Kallithu does not find a new way out, at most twenty years later, the Kingdom of Kallithu will appear due to lack of food. Hunger in a large area, and eventually occupied by the enemy, the Arctic Fox used this to tell the royal family, and Arctic Fox knew that as long as I was a veteran soldier of Karisu for a day, even if he starved to death, he would never let the Martin Liya people enter the jungle. , So the white fox went directly to the royal family, and finally with the help of the royal family, we squeezed out the old Karrisu soldiers one by one, and finally encouraged the royal family to advance northward, and madly took the entire kingdom into it!"
Letter gritted his teeth and said with an annoyed expression, "This is the surrendered Kalisu boss Elliott personally told me, otherwise just relying on the rebellion of a regional general, I want to let the Kalisu military take the initiative. Hand over the military power? Old marshals like Eliot are also willing to sit and watch the royal family's reform of the entire army, and put themselves in the air, watching their subordinates either get dismissed or transferred from the army? This is the reason!"
"Karisu does not expand, there is only one dead end!"
"The first thing that Kalisu wants to expand is to stop the war with the Martin Liya people. Otherwise, Kalisu will not be able to expand north, not to mention that there are still Anser people in the south who are constantly harassing. Take a look. In the royal capital of Karisu, you know how far Karisu’s predicament is. It is said to be the royal capital, but in fact it is not as wide as seven or eight miles. Even a complete fortified city wall cannot be built. If it is placed in the interior of the empire, it will be dead That is to say, the size of a medium-sized city. As a dignified kingdom capital, the population of Khalisu King’s capital is only 180,000. When the perennial garrison is at its maximum, it is only 50,000. It also needs the army to solve half of the arsenal by itself. , Even King Karisu can’t support fifty thousand troops!"
"It would be great if a road could be opened in the Kalisu jungle. As long as the merchants could come in, according to the rich products here, it should not be a problem to solve the food." Salton touched his chin, seemingly unintentional. I said something to myself
"It's basically impossible. To build a road in a dense forest area, even if it is completed, it will be submerged in a very short time by the newly grown bushes." Lighter shook his head and smiled bitterly." In order to protect itself and to prevent foreign forces from entering Kalisu, the Lisu Kingdom has never built roads in the dense forest. But thirty years ago, the Kalisu royal family also mobilized a large amount of labor to build a road from Kalisu. They all went to the road to the southern barren wall. In the end, more than 100,000 people worked hard for a winter. It was indeed a road built. However, as spring came and everything recovered, the road was soon submerged by growing shrubs."
"Karisu can’t do it, it doesn’t mean that the empire can’t do it. Don’t forget that the empire is best at building roads. The complex water network in the jungle of Kalithu is a road for the empire. With Lisu open, the imperial merchants can quickly construct a water network trade route in a short time!" Salton smiled slightly
"If it is an imperial operation, or it can be done"
Leiter also nodded in agreement. He has a deep understanding of the imperial merchants’ ability to expand their trade routes. He was able to turn the barren Fei Zexi coast into a prosperous place for commerce in just two years. Becoming the empire’s largest trade distribution center on the west coast of South Europe and Baros is basically the credit of the empire’s merchants. You must know that the southern Fezer is not a country that is good at building infrastructure. , Almost without the imperial official doing anything, the imperial merchants quickly started construction on the nodes of the west coast waterway, and trade towns were springing up.
A town was built in three months, from a mere tens of people to a bazaar for hundreds of people
For Leiter, a man who came out of the forest area of Karisu, it’s almost like watching a miracle. As long as it is profitable, the imperial merchants will show miracles. Look at the imperial merchants in just two years. By extending the commercial tentacles to some wild places that the southern European and Baro countries are unwilling to mention, you can know how powerful the imperial merchants are.
"Then this is quite feasible. Salton stood in front of the window, his eyes swept across the roof of King Kalithu, which was not dense, and a touch of emotion appeared on his face
"The Karisu area is not only profitable, but a golden land. Not only is the Karisu forest rich in various specialties, but also because the Karisu forest is also recognized as the country of gems in South Europe. The hot and humid climate here gives the land and minerals under the dense forest a very precious gem, the green opal, which is a special gem of the Kariso dense forest. It is as emerald as the sea of woodland, in the dark night. It is even more bright and radiant, even if it is more than the best night pearl, it is the best jewelry material that the ladies of the whole European country are crazy about. You know, I used to participate once in the north of the European city. In large auctions, the finale is a string of green opal pendants from Kalisa. Although there have been quite expensive jewels in the front, there is absolutely no string of green opal pendants that made the whole auction house crazy, and the last string of green The price of opal has been copied to a sky-high price that I dare not even think of!"
Salton's voice paused, his gaze turned away, and he looked at the stunned Lytle." Not to mention, the Karrisu Forest is the gateway to the central part of Southern Obaro, located between the west coastline and the central part of South Obaro, and is far from the west coastline However, it is more than two hundred miles, and the distance from the middle is also more than two hundred miles. In other words, if the imperial merchants travel by sea to the west coast, they do not need to enter the inland sea, and enter the western part of southern Obaro from the jungle of Kalisa. , It will save more than half of the time and distance than taking the two routes of the Mission State and the Erot Empire. If such a portal is really open to the imperial merchants, what will it be like, I believe you should also be able to imagine "
"I have always suspected that what your Majesty might really want to open is not to enter Martin Liya's road, but the door!" Salton's voice rumbling in the office, Wright's eyes grew sharper. It is bright and afraid of people. If the Karisu area can really attract a large number of imperial merchants, then the deadlock of food shortage in the Karisu area will be solved, and the Karisu area will also usher in a period of great development,
"Pa" The office door was pushed open, and an imperial officer walked in vigorously and said to Salton standing at attention, "My lord, two hours after the main force of the Kali Soviet army evacuated from the southern barren wall, the Anse The agreement was torn up and the southern wall was raided. All of the five thousand remaining defenders of the Kali Soviet Army in the southern wild wall were killed in battle. The Darkside Army was attacking the city closest to the southern wild wall, Suruo City!"
"Where is the main force of Carrie's Soviet army now!" Salton was silent for a while, raised his head and asked in a condensed voice.
"The main force of the Kali Soviet Army marched extremely slowly, and it was only 80 miles away from the southern barren wall, and a large number of civilians from Suluo City were still encumbered along the way!" The imperial officer said with a weird expression on his face. The Kalisu Army, which the civilians marched towards the capital, really didn't seem to be attacking, it was more like fleeing!
"Civilian?"
Salton looked stunned and looked at each other with Lighter, almost at the same time saying, "Let the scout confirm immediately whether the Carrie Soviet Army is bringing civilians all the way towards the capital?" Two hours later, The scouts returned news that the Karrisu army was indeed coming from the direction of the southern barren wall, encumbering civilians all the way towards the capital, and the one hundred thousand Karrisu army is still fighting and walking with the Anse army that is pursuing them. The number of the Anser's army is still higher than that of the Kalisu Army. The Kalisu Army is fighting and walking, and the situation is extremely tragic. There are dead people along the road. The Darkser Army is also extremely cruel to the area it passes through. All the Kalisu people were killed, obviously they came from rushing to destroy the entire Kalisu clan,
"My lord!"
Letter looked at Salton with red eyes. In the final analysis, he is also a Kalisu. He is no stranger to the brutality of the Anser.
The number of Kalithu people who blocked Anser for ten years. The two sides don’t know how many people died in the battle. It is already an unresolvable vengeance. This time, the Anser entered the territory of Kalithu and did not kill the card. The Lisu people will not stop. If the empire does not take action, from the current situation, waiting until the death of the 100,000 Kalisu army is the end of the Kalisu tribe. The only thing that can be thankful is Kali The northern part of Jiangsu is now under the control of the empire, and at least more than half a million Kalisu civilians can be protected! Now the Karri Soviet Army and the Anse Army are fighting desperately. If the empire is willing to go south from the capital and expand the occupied area south, even if it is only to protect civilians, I don’t know how many people can be saved!
Although the Anse people are ferocious, they may not dare to provoke the empire!
Salton grimaced and shook his head with a wry smile. "I know what you want to say, but let the empire send troops. Once the army of Martin Teeth really raided the capital, then the empire will definitely be defeated, and the 100,000 army will be Martin Li Yaren cut off the back road in one fell swoop, "Or what you said is true, Martin Liya Hussars deliberately appeared on the east side of the capital, so that we dare not act rashly, but such a bet, we can't afford to bet! "
"Then please let your lord allow me to leave the capital." Lighter also knows that such a request is too embarrassing for Salton, but letting the Anser to slaughter the Karisu, he can't do it, even if he just does his own thing. With meager power, it’s okay to protect one or two civilians
"You are the general of the empire~IndoMTL.com~You are participating in the war without authorization on behalf of the empire. Without the will of your majesty, you know the consequences, not to mention that until now, the Kali Su Army is still our enemy! You have to Am I letting a hundred thousand army take risks for the enemies of the empire!" Salton shook his head again, his tone even more ruthless
"Salton, you bastard..." The boss with open eyes, shaking with anger, pointed to Salton, he didn't expect Salton to be so ruthless,
"Come here, grab Lighter immediately!" Salton's face was livid, and he commanded loudly outside the door. Several guards immediately rushed in to suppress Lighter." From now on, deprive him of his imperial general, and wait until I report to your majesty before disposing of it. First look at him and send it to the newly incorporated Sixth Banner for reflection."
"The Sixth Banner?" Several guards were taken aback. Is there such a banner in the Second Army?
"It's the one just collected. The camp is the third one on the left outside the city, do you understand! Assholes, what do you all do for food!" Salton yelled,
"Isn't that... the Karrisu border guard that surrendered!" The guards looked surprised,
