Chapter 447: Preparing for Battle at Bafeng Mountain
If you want to borrow the power of humans, you must notify them in advance. Their ability to mobilize and integrate troops is quite poor. However, there are problems in human society that Snorri does not intend to solve and has no way to solve.
Judging from his experience in his previous life, the centralized system must have advantages over feudalism in developing productivity and combat effectiveness. But this is the rule set by Sigma and Gilles when he founded the country. How can a foreigner say that
Gossip.
Reuben, the elder sage of the Horn Castle, is famous in the mountains for his wisdom. His diary was compiled and published, and became the best-selling material for people to understand the war in the future. The following are relevant excerpts.
In August 6973, there was a major earthquake in the southeast. According to reports from various fortresses, the epicenter may be deep in the withered swamp. The mice are in trouble. It’s worth drinking two more drinks tonight!
On the first day of the year 6974, the great demigod Snorri received the order from the ancestor gods during a sacrifice and immediately electrified the mountains. He will obey the oracle and personally lead the troops to recover the Eight Peaks Mountain exactly one year later!
When he passed through the southern land, I predicted that the Northern Expedition would happen sooner or later, and now it has come true. Some of the guys who bet with me lost! Let’s celebrate today and hold a meeting immediately tomorrow. Such a grand event will be Karak-He
Enke cannot fall behind other fortresses.
On 6974.1.2, all the clan leaders and guild presidents showed unparalleled enthusiasm. The gods descended on the demigods to lead the army. The ancient hatred was settled. It was inevitable that the lost fortress and its treasures would return to the arms of the sons of the mountains.
Arik wants to conquer it himself, but this is probably not the right thing. The Andegrand clan is not that incompetent as rumored, and the danger at the foot of the Eight Peaks Mountain may not be worth it to the ancestors, but he cannot be careless. I have to go find my sister-in-law.
Join her in persuading Arik!
On January 7, 6974, His Majesty Snorri sent detailed recruitment instructions to various fortresses. With the foundation of the previous Southland expedition, his staff were very efficient.
This thing highlights two of his personal characteristics - generosity and prudence. One of them is rare among the sons of the mountains. And the fact that he still retains them today as a demigod may also be valued by the ancestors and gods.
A big reason.
This battle only requires professional soldiers, and every applicant must hold a certificate before being hired. This also shows his understanding of the war. Recovering Bafeng Mountain will not be an easy journey of drinking and singing.
On 6974.1.20, we finally persuaded Arik. As a young man, he too wanted to establish meritorious deeds that could be engraved on the rocks and be praised forever, but he ignored his responsibilities as a king.
He is so similar to his father! Almost a hundred years have passed, and I am still often awakened in my dreams by the life-killing spear flying towards me. Damn Green Chaos, the reckoning of hatred in Bafeng Mountain is just around the corner.
, so what about those in my Book of Hatred of Horn Keep!
6974.3.1, after long debates and meetings, I finally obtained the command of the coalition forces in the Black Mountains and surrounding settlements. The mustaches only show their courage for a moment, but participating in such a war does not depend on whether the hammer wheel is beautiful.
Many middle- and upper-class people have opinions on His Majesty Snorri's decision to seek cooperation with humans and promise to share wealth, but how can a mere dead creature be compared with the lives of the people? I believe that they will be able to correct their opinions after understanding the situation in the bad land.
.
On June 1, 6974, the recruitment of soldiers in each city went smoothly, very smoothly. With the oracles of the ancestors and gods and the personal leadership of the demigods, even the pessimistic tribesmen could not find a reason for possible failure.
Considering the threats in the Athel Loren forest, we must limit the number of people we take away. Even if we don't want to, we will try to talk to the guys under the Oak of Ages this year, otherwise we will have to take the initiative to expand the buffer zone in the winter before the expedition. After all, we will not
Smooth is unlikely to return before midsummer of the following year.
6974.7.16, strange, I can only say strange, the Bretonnians who came to deliver the message brought back good news, Pointy Ears is willing to maintain temporary peace with us. Well, let their weeds grow as long as they want.
There is news that this strange phenomenon may be related to a green chaos force called the "Orion Arrow Group" at the western foot of the Southern World Edge Mountains. At the meeting, we all maintained a tacit understanding and did not mention it much. It will not be too late to explore again in the Southland.
6974.9.1, Pointed Ears does not keep their promises like us, the Sons of the Mountains, and there is absolutely no reason to trust them fully. Sufficient remaining troops are necessary. Under this premise, I determined the composition of the Black Mountain Alliance Army.
Hammer Guard 80 people
Iron Breaker Warriors 80 people
160 long-bearded warriors
200 dwarf warriors
100 Thunder Gunners
100 heavy arrow crossbowmen
50 Dwarf Rangers
Eagle Hunter 40 people
30 Iron Dragon Gunners
6 Rune Hate Trebuchets
6 rune ballistae
In addition to half of the guard, Aric entrusted me with the shield inherited from the ancestors of Korgaz and his two shield bearers, authorizing me to command the battle and settle hatred on behalf of the Lord of the Horn Castle.
His Majesty Snorri and the engineers guilds of Haimen Pass and Torrent Pass worked together to develop many new products. After years of persuasion, Arik reluctantly agreed to install a small number of them.
This expedition will also be a great opportunity to broaden their horizons. After the clan leaders see the power of the war machine with their own eyes, it should be able to better promote the change of Arik's thinking.
6974.9.10, swear an oath and set off! After offering sacrifices to the gods and ancestors, Arik read out all the stripes about Bafeng Mountain in the Book of Hatred. May the ancestors and gods bless them and cancel them all when they return in triumph!
On September 15, 6974, the team went south through the Border Prince Territory and boarded the warships at Haimen Pass on the west coast of Blackwater Bay. In order to transport troops and supplies, Haimen Pass activated all the ships. I heard that the gangsters did not dare to enter during this period.
I probed within ten miles of the shore!
6974.9.27, they met up with the steam sailing fleet of the Principality of Bordero in the Great Styx Delta. In addition to their own people, they transported people from the Gray Mountains, the northern part of the empire and even Norsca.
6974.10.3, arrived at Kuata Port. When the Southland was first planned, I passed by here to pay homage to the ancestral home of Plateau Castle. Now I can no longer find the shadow of the past. It is this speed of development that created the miraculous Southland.
His Majesty Snorri is currently presiding over the overall situation in Red Cloud Mountain. The Prime Minister of Southland, Balin, conveyed his apology for not being able to come to Kuata in person to welcome him. This is too polite. The demigods of the mountains should have a pomp and ceremony worthy of him.
Balin is an interesting young man. He has developed a new and effective management strategy. I should communicate with him more when we settle in. The proportion of human residents in the Horn Castle is the highest among the fortresses in the old world.
6974.10.7, after a short rest and waiting for the seasickness symptoms of some tribesmen to subside, we took the train to Hongyun Mountain, the gateway to the Southland and the base camp for preparations for the Northern Expedition.
His Majesty Snorri welcomed us at the station. We entered the fortress through the gate guarded by the Rune Colossus. The journey to regain the Eight Peaks Mountain was about to begin.
