Power and Empire Chapter 1254: Black Forest Civil War

In the early morning, the fat horse team finally stepped into the high ground on the edge of the black forest. The cold wind rushed to the face, and it shocked people. In the quiet woodland, you can only hear the horses’ hoof stepping into the ground and the crisp squeeze of rain and snow Sounds, occasionally mixed with the sound of being crushed by horseshoes of branches, in front of the border, the first sun sprinkled into the forest, creating a phantom-like unreal beautiful world, a heavy snow covered the mountains and forests. The vast wilderness of snow-white, stretching hundreds of miles began to turn into large areas of dark green here. On the ground covered with white snow, large areas of forest dotted it, and the horses stopped at the slopes of the highlands,

The fat man looked a little fascinated as a pure white ground. The cloud-like canopy in the distance almost obscured the boundary of the ground.

Before setting off, Fatty had sent someone to the place where he killed yesterday. The corpses in Xuelin were cleaned up without leaving any traces. Su Kebailing had her own set of handling methods, so she didn’t bother herself. Don't worry, the fat guy also believes that Su Kebailing will be tight-lipped about this attack,

The news of the death of the young master of the punk tribe is believed to spread throughout the Black Forest soon, and the Sukh tribe will soon become the target of crusades from all quarters. Although it was the punk law that the despicable villain designed the trap, But those punk people who fled back will never mention this point. Fatty can imagine that the cause and effect of last night in the other party’s words will inevitably be another version.

The biggest possibility is that Bek Sulin colluded with outsiders, ambushed the unsuspecting young punk leader, and caused the tragic death of the young punk leader and a dozen punk warriors, as the only one that night The surviving party, if Su Kebailing is not a fool, the only way is to never admit that an outsider appeared that night, otherwise even if he jumps into the river, he will not be able to wash away the suspicion in the eyes of everyone.

"Your Majesty, the front is our army's camp outside the Black Forest!" The guard leading the way pointed to a rock in the distance and said,

The horse team traveled in this white world for about an hour. Left a long hoof print. Looking very long, the fat man's keen and unusual gaze passed through the snow in front of him, looking at the huge city wall exposed on a high ground in the distance, like an unreal ruin, suddenly appeared in front of the unknown, and the snow flew down. The black armored cavalry came up from the exit of the snow-covered city wall in front,

Fatty looked coldly at the approaching people. The officer who took the lead was a thirty-year-old squadron leader.

At the ten steps before the Fatty Horse, he stopped and stopped. The middle-aged officer glanced blankly across the fat man’s body and couldn’t see the grade of guard armor. He quickly dismounted and gave a respectful salute and said, "This lord, next is Bian Su of the 11th Squadron of the local garrison. He is ordered by the Governor’s Mansion. I'm here to greet"

"Captain Biansu Squadron, it's hard to come out to greet you after such a heavy snowfall!" The fat man nodded immediately

"There, I can receive Shangguan, it is my Rongxin!" God Biansu swallowed a bit nervously. He stood at attention immediately, carefully glanced at the black armor guards lined up behind the fat man, and flashed a trace of unconcealed horror. sè

These black knights in light armor, although they are cavalry like themselves. However, the crude armor on his body is just like scum compared to others, and the light black armor on his opponent is obviously a jīng product made by jīng workers. Although it is light, it shines with the dark luster left by fine black iron forging,

The imprint on the chest is the silver logo of the white thorn flower unique to the zhōngyāng army, and behind him is a scarlet cloak that does not touch snowflakes.

The horse is stout and tall, half a horse's head higher than it is here, and its nose is blowing white mist in the cold wind. In the weapon slot of the horse, only the guard cavalry is attached. The improved cavalry assault crossbow and the short crossbow of the cavalry, although they only stopped standing still in front of them, they gave a **** strange smell and fluttered in the cold wind. "This is probably the rumored Imperial Guard!"

This middle and lower-level officer of the Southern Army was shocked. In the cold snow season, he even sweated a little while holding the reins of his fingers.

He didn't expect that this time it was the rumored Imperial Guards who came here, and the person who was surrounded by these Imperial Guards, although I don’t know who it is, since the Southern Governor’s Mansion has personally sent a full cooperation. Orders and such equipment all show that their status must be very noble. "Listen to your name, it should be a Salander!" The fat man looked at Biansu, who was a little nervous, and slowly urged the horse to go over, spit out a rounded Salandar, "Yes, actually I It’s a southerner on the edge of the Black Forest." Bian Su Leng, who was opposite, hesitated for a while, and then replied with feelings on his face, "Oh, when did you join the army?" "I was fleeing in November last year. , I joined the Emperor ** team in the northern part of Salander"

Biangsu replied, "Because I am familiar with the situation in this place, I was transferred here by the Legionary Department in July this year. It was really surprising to say that I never dreamed that I would have the opportunity to return to my hometown in my life. After all, the fallen leaves are to be attributed to the roots! I am really grateful to say that!"

The fat man could hear the deep sadness in the tone of the squadron leader. He remembered that in July, he had instructed the Governor of the South, Statunko, to recruit 2 from the Salander army in the north. The Salander local flag regiment, with a number of about 15,000 people, is mainly stationed in the southern part of Salander in charge of local security. The existence of these troops is more of a kind of security force. This squadron leader’s On the chest, although the badge of the Southern Army can be seen, there is no silver stamp of the main battle unit, which is enough to show that the captain of the Biansu squadron should be one of the officers

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

The fat man took a closer look. The entire fortress was more than a thousand meters long and wide. It was based on a wild highland, like a pair of eyes looking down on the black forest area, huge stones that have experienced hundreds of years of wind and snow. The mottled dark sè stones are exposed in the snowflakes, showing the heaviness of history and the kind of coldness towards the ups and downs of the dynasty,

This black forest fortress was built in the early days of the Salander Kingdom. At that time, the Salanders had just crossed the sea. In order to resist the enemies that may come from the central part at any time, they built this fortress of garrison. The rise of the Rands, along with the migration of the years, later existed as a garrison bunker to monitor criminals in the Black Forest. In order to build this great fortress, the Salanders used more than 50,000 manpower and also deliberately transported them from the middle. It took ten years to complete the hard stone material that was lacking locally.

As the southern part of Salander fell into the hands of the Normans, this fortress of special significance lost its meaning. It has been abandoned for more than half a year. It is now a garrison point for the Falcon Southern Army. Mainly responsible for the safety of caravans traveling to and from the edge of the Black Forest. "I don't know, this time the lord came for..." Seeing the unknown Shangguan was a little surprised, Biangsu asked cautiously next to him, and finally touched the fat man's deep eyes, a sharp chill, making He shivered, shivering, and quickly looked away. "Nothing special" The fat man laughed, raised his horse whip at will, pointed to the distance and said, "I just want to know that if the empire is to build a road transportation line across the entire southern part of the Black Forest, the Black Forest will What kind of reaction was it."

"Huh? Your lord is saying, this road is going through the entire Black Forest?" Biansu's body shook slightly, and he looked at the fat man strangely, as if he was shocked by the news." It seems that you too I don't want to see such a thing happen! "

The fat man has a full view of his expression, and his heart is slightly dark. This time he mainly came 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 it. A transportation road, 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 he can’t say. If there are roads in the Black Forest, then the Black Forest’s self-isolation is basically broken. In a few years, dúlì will be in this area outside the empire. Completely assimilated by the empire, with roads, the empire’s army can also reduce the travel time from the central to the south. Although it won’t happen overnight, it can also shorten the original three-day journey to one and a half days. For the empire This road is a huge benefit both economically and militaryly. "No, on the contrary, if adults really have such an idea, I believe everyone in the Black Forest will be very happy!" Biansu unexpectedly Excited and said, "Why?" This time it's the fat man's turn to be surprised and inexplicable

"If it was before, it would be absolutely impossible to cross the entire Black Forest." Bian Sui's eyes flashed, and the expression on his face looked very excited when he talked to the unknown Shangguan. "But Now it’s different. That war shook the inherent system of the Black Forest~ IndoMTL.com~ made many people in the Black Forest go outside when they fled. The news they brought back has broken the Black Forest’s self-sufficiency. They proposed to trade with the outside world, and they formed a caravan privately to attract more and more young people. They gave up the protection laws that have been observed in the past, and chose to go out of the Black Forest to find their own world. The tribes in the forest also shed this big chao, very eager to find cooperation with the outside world, a faster and more convenient way to trade,

Biansu's voice stopped, and he continued, "If this project is not too big, and no one of the tribes can complete it alone, or there may have been a crossing road in the Black Forest long ago!" "That's it!" The fat man was silent for a moment. Biangsu's statement did have some truth. He didn't expect that his headache problem would be solved like this. At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes in the distance. The black armored cavalry **** sè nervously rode his horse from outside the fortress,

Biangsu quickly accused the fat man of a crime, and then greeted the messenger cavalry "Heru, what happened?" Biangsu stopped the messenger cavalry

"Something...something happened!" the cavalry who was in charge of the outer guard post said breathlessly, "I don't know why, this morning, the punk tribe of the Black Forest suddenly united all tribes and announced to the Sukh tribe The crusade order has been issued, and more than four thousand soldiers have gathered on the border, and they will soon start fighting."
