Power and Empire Chapter 546: Cold thorn (4)
546 cold thorn (four)
Northern Swadian, Ukhauser
Completely different from the scenery of the bright and sunny Lavin Plain in the central part of Pa*, the low and flat Ukhauser is still a cold and bleak atmosphere.
Between the mountains and the wild, large tracts of birch forest, like layers of pale gray covering this vast land,
It should be called winter here.
The cold wind whizzes through the forest from time to time, making the bare branches whimper in the wind, and the weeds on the roadside condense this thin frost,
The breeze passed by, already bringing a biting chill.
Although the wilderness here seems very desolate, there are fertile black land everywhere,
Occasionally, one or more carriages carrying nobles can be seen running on the mountain trails,
Like a locust in a large wilderness, tiny black spots are pulsating from time to time,
Looking south from the top of Urhausk Castle,
You can see the mountains in the distance, and the farther and farther you go, the brighter the scenery will be. The birch forests all over the mountains extend the brightness to the distance of the sky.
Among the large tracts of mountains in the mountains, there are faintly visible large chunks of soil that have been cultivated. The black and black squares are like the painter’s pen and ink.
With the advent of the ū season, farms everywhere have also become busy.
People who took a rest for the winter and started to be busy for the new year,
They collected wheat seeds from a winter season, sowed them in the ground in an almost religious manner, covered them with dark soil, and then prayed for some good harvests
There are also some farmers who try to dig pits in the fields, and then use hollowed tree trunks to build a simple canal among the running water in the mountains.
Like those merchants who traveled between Vijay and Swadian described,
It is said that in another section of the mountain range, near the west, those Vikya people did this,
They connect rivers and mountain streams with a unique network, so that their fields are always full of water,
So their harvest is more than double that of other regions
When the rest of the kingdom was in the midst of fierce warfare, the three northern counties with Urhausk as the center were still in a peaceful atmosphere.
This land is fertile and the largest iron-producing area in the north, which is rich in products. It can be said to be the last pure land of the entire Swadian Kingdom.
This peaceful and peaceful environment is the new Northern Governor Duke Lofthauser’s favorite.
This duke who is fond of red wine and beauty, looks very strong, with a height of 1.9 meters and a weight of over 100 kilograms, his bright red eyes are always full of bold breath,
The face of Beard Bazaar, the first impression left by most people is that Lofthauser is a natural warrior, and the most outstanding Swadian knight.
But in fact, Lofthauser is more willing to spend his jīg power most of the time on tasting red wine and galloping on the v people.
Or to help those young and beautiful children from a ruined family become real people.
For the war, Lofthauser felt that it was at least a few months later
This time, His Majesty the King Haraus arranged for him to replace hundreds of northern lords who were arrested and temporarily serve as the governor of the entire three northern counties.
I want him to take advantage of the winter truce of the Kurgits to take over the power of the three northern counties,
The one appointed as his deputy this time is the Marquis Chabold, who has just become famous during the Battle of Twarimburg,
Because of his outstanding performance and bravery, he threatened the Khergit army in the northern county and has disappeared without a trace,
Of course, what Lofthauser is most satisfied with is the enthusiasm of the deputy governor.
As one of the local lords of the three northern counties, on the first day of his arrival, the deputy governor gave him the most beautiful name of V people very intimately,
The appearance is second. Lofthauser from a prosperous place has never seen anyone like that,
But once I met a person with a special identity, that was another flavor.
The youngest of these v people is only 12,3 years old, and the longest is only 27 years old.
They are the wives, lovers, or children of the lords of the northern county who have been arrested,
Their identities are far more capable of bringing Lofthauser conquer than their looks. For this reason, he even broke his previous record of playing a v-player at the same time in one night
However, these days, Lofthauser always feels that his eyelids are jumping, jumping when eating, jumping when sleeping, and even when he is enjoying the v-people.
The things he felt most liked doing became dull.
The most depressing thing is that the eyelids on the left and right are jumping, making him unable to predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse.
But thinking of the fierce war in the north, he felt that the disaster should still be a little bit more catastrophic, after all, there are no eggs under the cover of the nest,
However, blessing is not impossible in this world. Who can have the last laugh is still unknown.
The night is deep and the streets are deserted.
Although the war did not directly explode in the three northern counties, the war inevitably reached this peaceful land after all,
A large number of young adults were forcibly recruited into the army, ready to accept the test of death. A large amount of materials were also forcibly hoarded,
Especially strategic materials such as grain and forage. Most shops are forced to close because there is no source of goods and no customer patronage.
Many residents are beginning to feel the cruelty of the war, because there are fewer and fewer supplies, and the higher the price of goods.
In the crowd, news about the upcoming new offensive by the Kujites in the north is also spreading more and more.
Especially from some businessmen traveling between the North and the South.
The kingdom’s counterattack against the Kujites in the winter seems to be not going smoothly. On the streets of Paravin, lists of casualties and missing persons are constantly being posted on the stone wall in front of the city.
Moreover, every time you post, there are hundreds of names, densely packed and stretched into one piece, and the scalp of the person watching it is numb
Their relatives were crying and crying in front of the stone wall. Grief yù absolutely,
Let this stone wall become a veritable wall of tears, and the terrible cry can extend two or three kilometers away.
The deserted streets cannot conceal the excitement in some secret dwellings. In such precarious years of war, some people believe that timely enjoyment is the most real thing.
So all kinds of bars and courtyards have become the best places for nightlife,
As long as there is money, anyone can experience the realm of drunken life and dream of death. So as to forget the cruel side of the world.
War has distorted the hearts and minds of many people. If they are like demons, they can only release their inner hopes in the drunken golden mí.
In Lofthauser’s Duke’s Mansion, the scene of drunkenness and death is also being staged at this moment. The red wine and the scent of expensive people merge together, a weaving into a human taste~IndoMTL.com~From sealed The window paper seeps out from the gap,
Slowly drifting away in the cold night wind. The soldiers who were responsible for guarding the Ducal Mansion could only breathe the red wine in the air greedily. With the help of this bit by bit, to drive away the long loneliness of the cold night.
From time to time, they would look back enviously, look at the feasting lights from the windows of the banquet hall, and the vague smiles of v-people.
There was a banquet to celebrate the 60th birthday of Duke Lofthauser.
In the distance, the fat man gently took a sip of the steaming water in the cup, and solemnly gave a letter in his hand to Fitunlanya, who was sitting on the opposite side and was full of speculation.
"This is the reward I gave to Dowei" The fat man's face was indifferent without a trace of movement, and he just stopped Feidunlanya's slender hands from trying to open the letter with a smile on the corner of his mouth
"Get off the boat and turn it on again, or it seems too unpleasant" F
