They are the cornerstone of the royal family's rule, ensuring that when the royal family goes through a period like Prince Laurie's young age and the decline of bloodline orthodoxy, power will not be lost to the outside world.
After Prince Laurie comes of age, once Princess Sophia still clings to power, they will attack her in groups. Most of the royalists who have been active around Prince Laurie recently are from here.
However, the more contact he had with them, the more uncomfortable Prince Laurie became.
Many of them are old forces that have been inherited for a long time, which means that their behavior is usually relatively rigid and conservative.
If Prince Laurie just wants to be a king who protects the traditional family property, many of them are good choices.
If Prince Laurie is a pioneer, determined to innovate, break the original framework, and open up a new world, they will be out-and-out resistance.
Obviously, Prince Laurie belongs to the latter group. Even Princess Sophia does not support what he wants to do, let alone the more conservative and stubborn royalists.
"This matter needs to be considered in the long term. After Your Highness inherits the throne, they will need to stabilize their rule in a short period of time. Once the rule is stable, it will not be too late to prune them slowly." Saint Enid admonished, "We also need to calm down.
, the recent pace is too big and too fast, which has caused too much force rebound, causing our plans to be frustrated at every turn."
"Tolerance! Tolerance! Tolerance! When is the right time to be patient or tolerant! This king is too cowardly." Prince Laurie was annoyed again.
"Only tyrants have no scruples. If Your Highness wants to become a wise master, he will naturally have to endure pressure from all sides. Only by getting what you want within the rules can you be a true hero." Saint Enid
Continue to forgive.
In a short period of time, Saint Enid won the trust of Prince Laurie and was often by his side, relying on more than just unconventional means.
She also has a very thorough understanding of Prince Laurie's character and knows his preferences very well, even better than Princess Sophia.
Compared with conventional preaching, such as being a savior and becoming a wise master, this kind of big hat and grand goal are more attractive to him and help him control his temper.
This may be related to his background. Growing up, the people around him were instilling in him, consciously or unconsciously, that he was born to be great and would gather countless honors and responsibilities in the future. Over time, a relatively unique personality naturally formed.
Personality.
I believe that my future should shoulder unique responsibilities.
When Saint Enid used her secret skills to allow him to see fragments of the future, he became even more convinced of it and hit it off immediately.
Although under the persuasion of Saint Enid, Prince Laurie accepted the agreement between the royal family and the Holy See, in the future, his relationship with Princess Sophia became very stiff and could never be restored.
It was as close as it used to be.
After Princess Sophia returned to the royal capital, she had to pay attention to the battle at the Broken Line of Defense and prepare for Prince Laurie's enthronement. She had no time to pay attention to Prince Laurie's little mood.
Just as Princess Sophia was solving the internal problems of the Byron Alliance, the millions of troops from the Theodin Empire had arrived at the Broken Vein Defense Line in a mighty manner.
I don’t know if the Theodin Empire’s army originally numbered in the millions, but now it definitely does.
Because on their way south, they swept in more Odin orcs to join them.
This time, there was no obstruction from the East Odin Empire, and their troops were spread out even more widely. They were literally overwhelming, hundreds of kilometers in radius, and it seemed like they were all running around.
For the tribes of the East Odin Empire, the West Odin Empire had no mercy at all. The entire tribe was looted and then turned into cannon fodder and crashed towards the Broken Vein Defense Line.
"Run! As long as we cross this mountain range, there will be endless flat land behind us, allowing us Odin men to gallop."
"There will be endless food, endless wine, countless wealth, countless strong slaves and beauties, waiting for you to enjoy and plunder."
"Without the protection of the city wall, those two-legged sheep over there are definitely no match for our Odin warriors and will be slaughtered by us."
"His Majesty Ulan Bage has decreed that all the proceeds from going south should be given to you personally."
"Long live your Majesty!"
"Odin! Odin! Odin!"
As before, the Odin Orcs are mobilizing before the war.
Their pre-war mobilization was very simple and crude.
It is to describe to them the richness of Byron's League and arouse their bloody and bestial nature.
In their eyes, a fearless warrior is the best warrior. As for formation and tactics, they don't have to pay much attention to them. At that time, they only need to rush towards the target head-on, and the rest is free to express themselves.
After all, a few months ago, these people were still a group of herdsmen. They had never received any military training in their lives. Telling them about strategies and tactics, or cooperating seamlessly, was simply making things difficult for them.
In fact, not only them, but even the leaders who are cheering them on have never received serious military training in their lives.
These Odin Orcs not only have poor military training, but their equipment is even worse.
Those who can wear homemade leather armor and hold homemade horn short bows are relatively wealthy.
Most of them were wearing thick leather robes and holding crude and extremely crude weapons. Most of them didn't even have iron heads and were made of bone or stone.
There is a shortage of iron on the Odin Prairie. For so many years, the Byron Alliance has imposed an economic blockade on it. Even if Archduke Cedric opened border trade with the Odin Orcs in the past year, it mainly focused on living supplies and iron.
It still falls under strict control.
The Theodin Empire is better, and the Commons family will smuggle some to them from the sea.
The Eastern Odin Empire, which was stuck inland, was not so lucky.
Their main source of iron was the plundering of the Byron League from the south.
The Eastern Odin Empire has been weak in the past twenty years, and even the number of large-scale southward invasions can be counted on one's fingers, let alone large-scale border violations.
The shortage of iron tools was so severe that it was so pitiful that more than a dozen people shared a meat cleaver, and dozens of people shared a broken iron pot, let alone forging iron weapons.
It was obvious that most of those who were driven to the front were from the lowest level of the Eastern Odin Empire.
Only a handful of Odin orcs who are eager to perform meritorious deeds or claim to be brave are mixed with this cannon fodder, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to perform extraordinary feats.
The only thing that the Odin Orcs can rely on at this moment is the number of people. Outside the city wall where the Broken Vein Defense Line is easy to attack, they are swarmed in a dark mass, and there is no energy at a glance.
It's like all the Odin orcs in the Odin prairie have gathered here.
In stark contrast are the Broken Mouth soldiers on the Broken Vein Defense Line.
There were no impassioned slogans, but only silent silence, whether it was the transport troops hurriedly shuttled on the city wall or the soldiers who were well prepared to face the impact.
Because when they come to the border to break the line of defense voluntarily or involuntarily, they know what they will face in the future.
They are stationed here, saying that it is for their homeland and for their clansmen is false, but it is more real to say that they are stationed here for their own lives.
They knew very well that once the Odin orcs broke through, what tragic fate would await them.
It is good to become the other party's herd slave, but it is more to become the other party's tool to release their animal nature.
That's right.
In the past year, the Broken Blood Keep has indeed opened its border trade with the Odin Orcs.
Those Odin orcs seem to be on their own terms and follow the trade regulations set by the Blood Castle of the Broken Mouth.
That was just the side of Odin the Orc, the side that was revealed when faced with the absolute force of the Broken Blood Castle.
When they possess absolute force, they will release another side of themselves.
The word beast in the name Odin Orcs not only refers to their beastly characteristics, but also refers to the beastly nature buried in their blood.
This is the experience accumulated by the Broken Blood Soldiers in dealing with the Odin Orcs for more than three hundred years. It is the experience and lessons gained with blood and life.
On the battlefield, you must never be merciful to Odin orc, otherwise you will be cruel to yourself.
The level of training is even different.
After the Broken Pulse soldiers are sent to the Broken Pulse Defense Line, they will first be sent to the Broken Mouth Blood Fortress for formal military training for a period of six months to one year, and then they will be assigned to garrison in various places.
I don’t dare to relax on weekdays, there is a one-week training period every month.
If it were placed in other territories, this kind of daily training would have gradually become lax.
However, Archduke Cedric, a strict self-disciplined ruler, often led people to personally inspect the defense lines in various places. No one dared to slack off.
It was indeed very hard at ordinary times, but when faced with war, they had to thank Archduke Cedric for his loyal service in the past.
The broken pulse soldiers are famous all over the world, and it is not without reason. In addition to their achievements, they also have a lot of sweat during training.
The equipment may be a bit worse. Many people's armors are patched and in various styles.
Although the finances of the Broken Mouth Blood Fort have been much better in the past year, the base of Broken Pulse Soldiers is too large, and it will not be possible to completely change their uniforms. After all, this involves not only financial resources, but also
There is a productivity issue.
But it's not completely unchanged.
On large sections of the city wall, there are more or less defensive equipment.
This is the credit of the Yong Ye Army Leader.
In the past year, the Yongye Army Leader and the Broken Mouth Blood Fortress have launched a comprehensive military cooperation.
It was only one aspect that Yongye Military Leader sent a military staff branch led by a main military chief of staff to help them improve their command system.
On the other hand, they are the engineers who are the best at the Yongye Army.
War equipment such as ballistas and catapults are already semi-obsolete crafts.
But on the broken line of defense, they are still synonymous with advanced.
Not only were the products eliminated by the Yong Ye Army Leader a large number of products that were half sold and half given away, they were transported to the Broken Vein Defense Line.
With the technology supported by the Yongye military leader, local materials were used and mass-produced.
This is its biggest advantage compared to artillery. The manufacturing process is not difficult, especially when border trade opened up last year and Odin orcs' cowhide and beef tendons poured in in large quantities.
This is a good choice for making crossbow strings and slings. With these, you can just cross-clip two pieces of wood and tie a crossbow string to it, and you can use it as a slingshot.
Hukou Fort.
It is named after its shape resembling a tiger's mouth.
This place is one hundred and twenty kilometers away from the Broken Kou Blood Fortress, making it a very important pass.
The terrain where this pass is located is not that dangerous, and it can also allow Odin's orc troops to influx in a medium size.
Every time the Odin orcs come to attack, Tiger's Mouth Fort is basically a must-attack location, and the intensity of the battle is often even higher than that of the Broken Mouth Blood Fort.
Due to the terrain restrictions, the scale of Hukou Fort is far smaller than that of Broken Kou Blood Fort. It can only allow 2,000 people to be stationed permanently. Even if the defense is strengthened, it will be difficult to accommodate 5,000 people here.
There is no shortage of wise men among the Odin orcs. They open a gap from the side, send elites, and move back behind the Broken Mouth Blood Castle. They still understand the tactics of attacking from both sides.
This time is no exception.
As soon as the Theodin Empire's army arrived, a partial army rushed over and set up camp outside Hukou Fort.
The unique cowhide tent of the Odin orcs can be seen to the end.
The number of this partial army is no less than 50,000, which is dozens of times the number of broken soldiers defending the city. This shows how powerful the force of the Odin Orcs is.
Jamil, one of the soldiers guarding the city at Hukou Fort, couldn't help but frequently stretched out his head to peek at what was going on outside the city wall.
"If I were you, I would never do this." A soldier not far from Jamil said lazily.
Jamil looked back and saw that it was Jim who was on the same team as him.
This is a veteran who has been fighting on the Broken Line for more than 30 years. He has already reached the rank of centurion. Last year, when the border trade was booming, because he could not let go of the hatred in his heart, he got drunk and maliciously caused trouble. He took the opportunity to
He killed two Odin orcs and injured no fewer than seven others.
Although he was not sentenced to death afterwards, he was beaten to the end and sent to the border guards.
However, they were at the border, so they just moved from their original garrison point to Hukou Fort.
The Blood Castle of Broken Mouth does not really want to uphold justice for the Odin Orcs, but it just does not want to encourage this trend and scare away all the Odin Orcs who come to trade. It will hold them high and let them go, make a gesture, and then compensate them with some supplies.
Those involved should just shut up and be done with it.
I believe that with Jim's ability, as long as the war continues, it will only take a matter of minutes to accumulate military merit and rise again. Now the war has come.
Jamil humbly asked for advice: "Uncle Jim, why can't you do this? If you don't observe, what will happen if those brutal orcs attack?"
"You'll know the recruit's argument as soon as you hear it. Boy, since you came to the Broken Vein Defense Line, you haven't fought with those beasts outside the city wall." Veteran Jim threw a piece of beef jerky into his mouth and chewed it, while glancing at Jay with half-squinted eyes.
Miller glanced.
Seeing that there was something going on, Jamil hurriedly handed over the wine he collected from his arms and said: "To be honest, uncle, although I have been here for three years at the border, this is the first time that I have to go to the city to defend. As you know,
In the past few years, those orcs have been so cowardly that we went to the grassland to bully them, and there was no chance for them to fight us. I didn’t expect that the other party would be ruthless when they started to attack, but I was not sure whether the uncle could teach me life-saving experience.
As long as I can get through it, I'll invite you to drink this fine wine."
Smelling the aroma of the wine, Jim's eyes lit up, he took it unceremoniously, took a sip and praised: "With wine and meat, it's just too much these days. I didn't expect you kid to have some wealth. I'm doing this now."
All good things cost money.”
"That's because Uncle Jim's back is too straight and he didn't want to mess with those orcs in the past year. Otherwise, based on uncle's ability, the armor on his body would have been replaced with a brand new one long ago." Jemele complimented sincerely, "
I can't do it. I know that I am timid and incapable of fighting, so I can only work in this area and try to get out of it."
"You really should become a businessman, not a soldier." Veteran Jim agreed, "For the sake of this jug of fine wine, I will give you two tips. I didn't let you show your face just now because I didn't want you to be confused.
The beasts outside the city, especially the wolf tribe, have many good archers. If you are targeted by a sharpshooter with a good bow among them, you will die without knowing how. As for observation, then
It's a matter of lookout posts. If they come up, someone will naturally notify you. Before that, all you need to do is to build up enough strength, here."
Jim took out a handful of beef jerky from his arms, threw it to Jamie Miller and said, "If you feel restless and can't calm down, chew this. It can help you relax, and it can also help you replenish your body."
Strength, the opponent has a large number of people, and when the fight starts, it will be endless, and there may not be a chance to eat. Although your wine is good, but at this time, it is still such a thing. If you use it to return your wine, you kid will also
