Volume Four The Throne Chapter 1 Uncertainties
Less than a week passed in the New Year of the Mainland New Calendar, when a cold wind swept across the entire Murto Mountains with a blizzard.
The snowflakes began to fall from the early morning and did not stop at noon.
The entire sky and the ground were dyed white by snowflakes, which not only covered the desolate land on the ground that became barren due to the war, but also turned the entire soil into dark red, covering up the blood that was almost dark, making the entire Murto Mountains as pure and white as snowflakes.
Sharon Li Nuer, the chief of the Greedy Wolf Legion, stood outside the tent, looking at the Murto Mountains, which were covered with snow in the distance, and after a while, his body was completely covered with snowflakes, his whole body turned into a snowman.
Although the Murto Mountains in the distance cannot be seen clearly due to the blizzard, Li Nuer knew that there must be northern troops in the town of Lampari Kingdom.
Just as they were guarding against the Zhenbei Army, maybe taking this opportunity to launch a raid, the Zhenbei Army must also be guarding against their Greedy Wolf Legion seizing the opportunity to counterattack the Murto Mountains.
This confrontation has continued since the Northern Army in the Kingdom of Zhonglanpari captured the Murto Mountains last year.
Neither side is willing to give in or dare to give in, because once you give in here, it is equivalent to putting the border between both sides under the other side's army, and no one can predict what consequences will be.
However, in the current weather, both sides obviously do not have any offensive ability, and can enjoy a rare period of peace.
However, Li Nuer was very dissatisfied with this kind of peace.
The Murto Mountains, which were controlled by the Kingdom of Sak, were thrown away in his hands for nearly ten years, because of this. Now the calls for the replacement of the commander of the Li Nuer Legion in the Kingdom of Sak are very high, making Li Nuer extremely passive during this period.
Compared to this kind of passiveness, what Li Nuer cares about the most is to throw away the shame brought to him by the Murto Mountains.
As a soldier, he could not keep his guard. For Li Nuer, it was like someone slapped him in the face.
Every time he saw the Murto Mountains, he felt a burning pain on his face, and the anger in his heart ignited again.
However, every time I think of the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army in the Kingdom of Lampari when attacking the Murto Mountains last year, Li Nuer seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water on his head and calmed down instantly.
He knew very well that if the Zhenbei Army had maintained the combat effectiveness of last year and the Greedy Legion had not changed at all, then even if they fought again, the Greedy Legion would definitely be defeated without any suspense.
The Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari has not taken any further steps towards the Sak Kingdom in the past six months. In Li Nuer's view, it is not because he is concerned about the strength of the greedy legion, but probably because he is more concerned about the gap in the national strength of the kingdom behind the two sides.
However, the more he knew this fact, the more shame Li Nuer felt.
"Wait, sooner or later, one day. I will take back the Murto Mountains with my own hands!"
Under the urging of the personal guard, Li Nuer snorted softly. He glanced at the Murto Mountains in the distance for the last time, turned around and walked back to the tent.
Just as he shook off the snowflakes on his body, the curtain of the tent was lifted up again, and the cold wind rushed in instantly, making Li Nuer tremble all over.
Just as he was about to turn his head to scold him, he found that the Chief of Staff Ai Wei Ruo'ao suddenly rushed in. Li Nuer's reprimand had reached the edge of his throat immediately turned into a question.
"What? What's the urgent matter?"
Ai Wei Ruoang rubbed his hands, and there was no sign of anxiety from his expression on his face, but instead he was filled with a hint of joy.
Now that he had baked his hands on the brazier ignited in the tent, he carefully took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Nuer.
Li Nuer took it in confusion and looked at it, but found that the pieces of paper were painted with strange pictures, which looked like some kind of mechanical drawing.
"What is this?"
Ruo'ang smiled and said, "What you think about day and night."
Li Nuer's eyes lit up: "Is it the drawing of the magic trencher?"
"That's right."
Hearing Ruo's answer, Li Nuer quickly stood up and opened the drawings, and looked at them attentively.
However, he knew nothing about this and no matter how focused he was, he could not see the truth.
However, he could still see some clues from the patterns drawn on these drawings, and he could confirm that the above description was indeed the magic trencher that was taken out by the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari last year, which caused the Greedy Legion to suffer so much that even a position could not hold on.
"Where did this thing come from?" Li Nuer asked.
"The Office of the Staff got it from the Kingdom of Lampari, and this is just a copy you took from me." Joao took the drawings back from Li Nuer and carefully broke them in his arms. "This is something the Office of the Staff got at a very high price. It took a lot of effort to get the copy for you to see."
Li Nuer was a little surprised: "The Office of the Staff is really good. According to such an important drawing, the Kingdom of Lampari will definitely be protected very closely, and they can get it."
Joao laughed: "How it got it is not our business. The good news I want to tell you is that His Majesty the King has ordered a speed up research on this thing. I think we will have a magic trencher to use it in no time."
Li Nuer had no joy on his face, but instead frowned deeply.
"I'm not as optimistic as you. Didn't the guys in the Kingdom Magic Court have also studied it accordingly? What's the result? The test machine killed dozens of people! I don't think they can really make it out with this drawing alone."
"It's better to try it than not." Ruo'an shook his head. "Otherwise, do you think we can beat those guys from Zhenbei Army again?"
Li Nuer lowered his face, and after a while, he sighed and shook his head slowly.
"The power of these things is so great that it can't stop them at all. Many times I think that if Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were in our Sak Kingdom, we would probably have defeated the Lampari Kingdom long ago, so there is no need to suffer here."
"It's a pity that reality is that guy is in the Kingdom of Lampari." Joao sighed. "But fortunately, according to the situation from the Magic Court, the research on this drawing seems to be progressing smoothly. Let's wait patiently for the good news."
Li Nuer snorted coldly: "Then they said they didn't say how long we would wait? Don't forget that news came from there last year. Now the commander of the northern army of the Kingdom of Lampari is their eldest prince Eric. This kid has been planning to attack our Sak Kingdom in order to get some military merits and get the throne. I guess as long as winter passes, this kid will not be able to wait to attack. If we don't have a weapon to fight against, should we watch them fight into the kingdom?"
Joao laughed and said, "Don't worry too much about this. According to the information obtained by the Office of Staff, Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are the ones who support Princess Sevini. In order to draw a clear line with him, Eric did not continue to purchase any military magic machinery from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, so the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army in the Kingdom of Lampari will not be as exaggerated as last year."
Li Nuer frowned and shook his head: "I really don't know what this kid is thinking. He obviously has such a useful military magic machinery but doesn't use it. Does he think that with his young boy, he can defeat our greedy legion?"
"You can't underestimate him too much." Joao said seriously. "There are many big families in the Kingdom of Lampari that support this boy ascend the throne. They are very supportive of his counterattack on our Sak Kingdom this time. Therefore, the Town North Army of the Lampari Kingdom we encountered this time is likely to be the Town North Army with the best logistics supply we have ever encountered, and the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated."
"As long as I am not equipped with those military magic machinery, I will not worry about the combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army." Li Nuer looked disdainful. "If I want to say, maybe the guys from the Zhenbei Army in the Lampari Kingdom suddenly had enough food and drink and warm clothes this time, and their combat effectiveness might decline. With this idiot prince, it would be strange if they could become powerful."
"No matter what, it's better to be cautious." Ruo'an said.
"Of course, I still know this." Li Nuer nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Actually, I would strongly suggest that the Office of the State Council find a way to directly get rid of the boy named Xu Yi. This boy is the biggest uncertainty factor. If he is creating a more powerful military magic machine, and then the people in the Kingdom of Lampari are not as idiotic as Prince Eric, then our situation will be really dangerous."
"I'm afraid this won't work." Joao shook his head. "The Office of the Staff thinks he is of great value. If he can get all the things he and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce to study, it will also be of great benefit to our Sakh Kingdom. You must understand that the goal of our Sakh Kingdom is not just the Lampari Kingdom."
Li Nuer frowned and pondered for a moment, sighed: "I understand what you said makes sense, but I always feel that... if you let this guy continue to exist, it is very likely that our big thing will be ruined in the end. Maybe... our Sak Kingdom will be defeated by the Lampari Kingdom in the end..."
Joao laughed and patted Li Nuer on the shoulder: "You're thinking too much. The national strength of the Kingdom of Lampari is much worse than our Sak Kingdom. And they are really not sure about the heir of the next king now, and the kingdom is simply unstable. Even if the uncertainty factor of Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is there, what threat can it pose to us? What's more... The Office of Staff has already set its sights on Xu Yi, can he find new tricks we can't imagine?"
Li Nuer nodded slowly for a while.
"I hope this is the case." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
