Less than a week after the New Year of 3783 in the mainland new calendar, a cold wind swept the entire Muerto Mountains with a heavy snowstorm.
The falling snowflakes started falling in the early morning and did not stop until noon.
The entire sky and ground were dyed pure white by snowflakes, which not only covered the desolate land on the ground that had become barren due to the war, but also covered up the blood stains that had turned dark red in the entire soil, almost black, making the entire land completely invisible. The Muerto Mountains seemed as pure and white as snowflakes.
Sharon Linur, the commander of the Greedy Wolf Legion, stood outside the tent and looked at the Muerto Mountains in the distance, which was covered with snow until only a vague outline remained. made a snowman.
Although the Muerto Mountains in the distance could not be seen clearly due to the snowstorm, Linuer knew that there must be the Northern Army of the Lampali Kingdom all over it.
Just as they were prepared that the Zhenbei Army might take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack, the Zhenbei Army must also be prepared for their Greedy Wolf Legion to seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack on the Muerto Mountains.
This confrontation has continued since the Northern Army of the Central Lampali Kingdom captured the Muerto Mountains last year.
Neither side is willing to give in and neither side dares to give in, because once they give in here, it will be equivalent to surrendering the border line of both sides to the opponent's army, and no one can predict the consequences.
However, in the current weather, both sides obviously have no offensive ability, but they can enjoy a rare period of peace.
However, Li Nuer was very dissatisfied with this kind of peace.
The Muerto Mountains, which had been controlled by the Sac Kingdom for nearly ten years, were lost in his hands because of this. There are now very loud calls in the Sark Kingdom to replace the commander of the Li Nuer Army. This made Li Nuer extremely passive during this period.
Compared with this kind of passivity. In fact, what Li Nuer cares about most is the shame brought to him by losing the Muerto Mountains.
As a soldier, but unable to defend the position he was guarding, for Li Nuer, it was like being slapped hard in the face.
Every time he saw the Muerto Mountains, he felt burning pain on his face, and the anger in his heart ignited again.
However, every time he thought of the combat effectiveness displayed by the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army when they attacked the Muerto Mountains last year, Li Nuer felt as if someone had poured cold water on his head. Calm down instantly.
He knew very well that if the Zhenbei Army maintained the same combat effectiveness as last year and the Greedy Legion did not make any changes, then even if they fought again, the Greedy Legion would definitely be defeated without any suspense.
The Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army has not moved further into the Sak Kingdom in the past six months. In Li Nuer's view, it is not because of concerns about the strength of the Greedy Legion, but perhaps more because of the gap in national power between the kingdoms behind the two sides.
However, the more clearly this fact became clear, the more shameful Li Nuer felt.
"Just wait, sooner or later one day. I will take back the Muerto Mountains with my own hands!"
Under the urging of his personal guard, Li Nuer snorted softly. I took one last look at the Muerto Mountains in the distance, then turned and walked back to the tent.
Just after vigorously shaking off the snowflakes on his body, the curtain of the tent was opened again, and the cold wind rushed in instantly, making Li Nuer couldn't help but shiver all over.
Just as he was about to turn his head to reprimand, he found that it was Chief of Staff Aiwe João who suddenly rushed in. Li Nuer's reprimand that had reached the edge of his throat immediately turned into a question.
"What? What's the emergency?"
Aiwei João rubbed his hands. There was no hint of anxiety on his face, but a hint of joy.
Now that he was warming his hands on the fire pit lit in the tent, he carefully took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Nuer.
Li Nuer took a look at it in confusion, only to find that these pieces of paper were filled with strange pictures, which looked like some kind of mechanical blueprints.
"What is this?"
João chuckled: "What you have been dreaming about day and night."
Li Nu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it the blueprint of a magic trebuchet?"
"That's right."
After hearing João's answer, Li Nuer quickly stood up again and opened the drawing, and read it attentively.
However, he knew nothing about this area of knowledge, and no matter how hard he concentrated, he could not figure out the truth.
However, he could still see some clues from some of the patterns drawn on these drawings, and he could confirm that what was described above was indeed taken out by the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army last year, causing the Greedy Legion to suffer so much that A magic trebuchet that can't even hold a position.
"Where did you get this thing?" Li Nuer asked.
"The General Staff Office got it from the Lampali Kingdom. This is just the copy you brought." Joao took the drawing back from Li Nuer's hand, folded it carefully and put it in his arms. "This is something that the General Staff Office spent a lot of money to obtain. It also took a lot of effort for me to get a copy for you to see."
Li Nuer was a little surprised: "The General Staff Office is really good at it. Normally, the Lampali Kingdom would protect such an important blueprint very closely, but they were able to get it."
Joao laughed: "How we got it is none of our business. The good news I want to tell you is that His Majesty the King has ordered to speed up research on this thing. I think it won't be long before we will also have a magic trebuchet. used."
There was no joy on Li Nuer's face, but he frowned deeply.
"I'm not as optimistic as you are. Didn't the guys from the Kingdom's Magic Court study this before? What's the result? The test machine killed dozens of people! I don't think they can actually do it now just based on this blueprint. Get it out.”
"It's better to try than not to try." Joao shook his head. "Otherwise, do you think we can beat those guys from the Zhenbei Army again?"
Li Nuer's face sank. After a while, he sighed and shook his head slowly.
"The power of these things is too great and cannot be stopped at all. Many times I have been thinking that if Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were in our Sak Kingdom, we would have defeated the Lampali Kingdom long ago. There is no need to suffer here after we come down."
"It's a pity that the reality is that that guy is in the Kingdom of Lampali." Joao sighed. "But fortunately, according to the situation reported by the Magic Court, the research on this blueprint seems to be progressing smoothly. Let's wait patiently for the good news."
Li Nuer snorted coldly: "Then they didn't say how long they would let us wait? Don't forget, news came from there last year. The person who now leads the Lampali Kingdom's northern army is their eldest prince Eric. In order to gain some military merit and seize the throne, this kid has been planning to attack our Sark Kingdom for a long time. I guess as soon as winter is over, this kid will be impatient to attack us if we don't have weapons to fight against it. If so, do we have to watch them fight into the kingdom?"
João chuckled and said: "Don't worry too much about this. According to the information obtained by the General Staff Office, Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are supporting Princess Sevigny. In order to draw a clear line with him, that boy Eric did not tell Xinfei The Flying Chamber of Commerce will continue to purchase any military magic machinery, so the combat effectiveness of the Lampali Kingdom's North Army 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 has such a useful military magic machine but doesn't use it. Does he think that with a young boy like him, he can defeat our greedy army?"
"Don't underestimate him too much." Joao said seriously. "There are many big families in the Lampali Kingdom who support this kid's ascension to the throne. They are very supportive of his counterattack on our Sak Kingdom. Therefore, the Lampali Kingdom's Northern Army we encountered this time is very likely to be the one we encountered. The Zhenbei Army has the best logistical supplies I have ever seen, and its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. "
"As long as it is not equipped with those military magic machines, I am not worried about the combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army." Li Nuer showed disdain. "If you ask me, maybe the guys in the northern army of Lampali Kingdom will have less food and clothing because they can suddenly eat, drink and wear warm clothes this time. Maybe their combat effectiveness will be reduced. Coupled with this idiot prince, if they It’s amazing that it can become so powerful.”
"Anyway, it's better to be cautious." Joao said.
"Of course, I still know this." Li Nuer nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Actually, I still strongly suggest that the General Staff Office find a way to get rid of the boy named Xu Yi directly. This boy is the biggest Uncertainty factors. If he comes up with some more powerful military magic machine, and the people in the Lampali Kingdom are not as idiotic as this Prince Eric, then our situation will be really dangerous. ”
"I'm afraid this won't work." Joao shook his head. "The General Staff feels that he is of great value. If we can get all the things he and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce have researched, it will also be of great benefit to our Sark Kingdom. You have to understand, our Sark Kingdom's goal, It’s not just the Lampali Kingdom.”
Li Nuer frowned and thought for a moment, then sighed softly: "I understand what you said makes sense, but I always feel that... if this guy continues to exist, it is very likely that it will ruin our big things in the end. Maybe... we Sa The Kingdom of Ke will be defeated by the Kingdom of Lampali in the end..."
Joao laughed and patted Li Nuer on the shoulder: "You are thinking too much. After all, the national strength of the Lampali Kingdom is much worse than our Sak Kingdom. And now they really don't even have an heir to the next king. It is confirmed that the kingdom is not stable at all. Even if there are uncertain factors such as Xu Yi and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, what threat can it pose to us? What's more... the General Staff Office has already targeted Xu Yi, how can he find out? Any new tricks we can’t think of?”
Li Nuer was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.
"I hope so." (To be continued, please search, the novel will be better and updated faster!
