Chapter 1080: The mule-horse army of the dwarves of the Eight Peaks Mountain
Wood Elf Queen Alaire is a giant in terms of height. She is even taller than the two Ryans combined. As a demigod, Alaire is the incarnation of the Elf Mother Goddess Isha, but she cannot be easily
There is an inexplicable connection between the incarnation and the original deity. According to what the Lake Fairy and Orika said, there can be many incarnations (provided careful preparation is required). Only when the god is possessed
Gods will only truly die if they are killed by mortals.
After teaching their two sons, Ryan and Sulia met with the Wood Elf Queen Alaire. She was too tall and made the door appear too short or the room too crowded, so Ryan met the Wood Elf Queen in the courtyard.
.
As always, Alaire still practiced the same absolutely isolated diplomacy. She said that anything outside had nothing to do with Athel Loren. At the same time, she repeatedly emphasized that Lane should remember to restrain his men from entering the Athel Loren forest, otherwise Ace would
Rai will bestow the wrath of thunder.
However, the wood elves still need Ryan's help after all. Alaire said that if he gets news of Morgul's appearance, he can notify Athel Loren as soon as possible. Orion and Alaire will personally lead the army to dispatch, and if Brittany
If Ya encounters trouble, he can also notify the wood elves to come to help. If he really encounters huge trouble and urgently needs to borrow the root tunnel of the wood elves' world, we can also discuss it.
In general, the wood elves are really interested in Ryan, so the two parties signed a further cooperation treaty and a treaty of mutual assistance. The wood elves will continue to provide jewelry, silks, medicines and support for elf war horses to Ryan.
Lane will provide enough food, wood, various ores and salt, and livestock.
Some people may ask, why do wood elves want so much wood?
In fact, the reason is very simple. The forest of Athel Loren has never been unique to the wood elves. Essentially, the masters of the forest are the tree people and tree spirits. After the three ancient tree people had problems one after another, the forest spirits and tree spirits
People have become extremely disgusted with the existence of wood elves. The main reason they can continue to tolerate wood elves is because Dursu, the tree king of the sword Excalibur, knows that tree people and forest spirits alone can no longer defend the entire forest. There is also the ancient tree man Adanhu Lin.
Before he died, he hoped that the wood elves and the treants could coexist peacefully, so that there would be no civil war.
Therefore, if the wood elves want to obtain wood from the Athel Loren forest, they can only obtain a small amount of wood in a very conservative way that does not harm the trees. The wood elves are large consumers of wood, and they usually consume a lot of wood.
Import from outside.
As for the forest outside...it is not the home of the wood elves, nor is it a magical forest with forest spirits. People don't care.
"I hope you can live longer. It's been a long time since Islay saw a king who is as reliable, capable and knows how to restrain his subordinates like you." Before leaving, Queen Alaire said a little impatiently: "I hope
You can live as long as Trunks."
"Trunks?" Sulia was surprised, who is this person?
"Trunks is our contact person in Marienburg, responsible for contacting the San Lorenzo Forest in the Kingdom of Nord... Oh, your human name is Lawn Lorenzo Forest. He is born in the 76th year of your human empire calendar.
This year, I have entered the ranks of the elders in Eslay." Alaire explained: "You are qualified to attend the Woodland Council."
Ryan: "..."
A human was born in the 76th year of the imperial calendar. Doesn’t that mean that this wood elf is already over 2,400 years old?
No wonder in front of the wood elves, the high elves are all short-lived ghosts. With this lifespan... Ryan wants to compare his longevity with me. You are more young, I will not die even if you die! The Sun King spread his hands: "Don't worry
, my lord, I will definitely live longer than Trunks!"
"I hope so." Alaire was a little surprised that the human in front of him actually dared to boast so much, but considering that his brothers were both demigods and he had special abilities, he didn't say anything more. The Wood Elf Queen took the photo
Clapping their hands, a group of legendary troops of wood elves, the Sisters of Thorns, led by a small number of eternal guards and wild forest rangers, delivered the gifts of the wood elves to Ryan: "I feel that you have solved many problems for us since you came to the throne,
This is a symbol of our friendship, please accept it."
The gifts from the wood elves are extremely rich.
Twenty-five pure-blooded elf war horses.
One hundred half-blood elf war horses.
Two hundred sparkling green leaf bows.
Three hundred green leaf spears.
Five hundred mixed-blood elven mules and horses. This kind of strong mules and horses, a cross between elven war horses and Athel Loren gray donkeys, can carry a load of up to 2,000 kilograms and can travel 40-45 kilometers a day. The maximum load can last for three days.
Day! More than 1500 kg
The lower one can be transported for a long time, and it is not a problem to pull a cart of seven or eight tons. Of course, its daily food intake is also amazing. It needs to eat about 8 kilograms of corn and 15 kilograms of straw or wheat bran. Of course, it is best to also
Need some concentrated feed and sweet fruits.
There are 450 barrels of Wood Elf Cider in total.
There are more than 100 boxes of various medical materials in total.
There are other various gifts such as preserved meat, elf jewelry, silks, ornaments, pottery, handicrafts, and countless others.
Large quantities of goods were delivered outside the castle, and the Nuer nobles drooled when they saw it.
Is this the wood elf trade?
Love it, love it!
However, what greatly disappointed this group of Nuer people was that no matter what they said, how they made conditions, how they contacted them, the wood elves shook their heads with extreme indifference, saying that we only trade with the Oliver Chamber of Commerce, which is the only designated dealer.
Bo Jing was very sincere to him. Ryan smiled and clapped his hands without saying much.
The Kingdom of Knights also gave its own gifts.
Twenty sets of dwarf master level rune full body armor.
Two hundred sets of finely crafted armor made by dwarves.
One hundred dwarven rune weapons of various colors.
More than two thousand dwarf weapons of various colors.
Dozens of tons of ore.
A total of three million kilograms of barley, rye, wheat-based food and various agricultural and sideline products (wood elves do not farm, and basically rely on fruit picking, hunting and animal husbandry).
One hundred tons of sea salt.
Twenty tons of white and brown sugar.
There are 12,000 livestock and 30,000 chickens and ducks.
Five hundred barrels of Brittany wine.
Ten thousand square meters of wood, and there will be more later.
And, of course, the last and most precious gift, a hundred pieces of amber, collected from all over the old world.
"It's always such a pleasure to work with you, Sun King." Alaire accepted these things with satisfaction. The Wood Elf Queen was obviously satisfied with Ryan's gift: "If there is civil strife in the future, Eslai will stand by you.
This way.”
"I hope I'll never encounter it." Ryan nodded.
Alaire left with the people. She had completed this meeting and would leave Jean directly and return to the King's Forest in Athel Loren. The harvest this time was very good. The wood elf queen brought two elf girls, the Twilight sisters.
He and two teams of Thorn Sisters escorted a large amount of goods and left under the cover of night.
Similarly, the goods sent by the wood elf made Ryan couldn't help but pull Sulia directly and kissed his wife hard on the face: "Madam! So many good things, all are left to you!"
"Really, everyone is here!" Sulia was still not used to being too intimate with her husband in front of the public. The female knight patted Ryan in shame.
"Hey! In public, mom and dad openly show affection!" Devon Hill appeared out of nowhere. His son looked at his parents sideways and shouted deliberately: "Dad likes to bully mom, especially in many situations."
Sometimes you have to let mom show her shy face to be happy, what a bad dad!"
"Hahahahaha!" The surrounding old guards and knights laughed loudly. Only Sulia hid behind her husband in embarrassment and buried her head on Ryan's back.
"Mom, you go up and kiss daddy too!" Frederick was even more excited. The eldest son of the young baron clapped his hands and shouted in front of the public: "Mom, please prove that you are not inferior to Sulia."
Aunt!"
"You stinky son, what are you talking about?!" Emilia was so angry that she wanted to hit her son on the head.
"Mom, I'm doing this for your own good!" Frederick continued loudly, attracting everyone's attention. The eldest son said loudly: "Mom, come up and give me a kiss. Aunt Sulia kisses her on the face, and you can kiss her on the mouth!
We can’t admit defeat! Come on, mom! My son will always cheer for you!”
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" The entire Duke's castle was filled with a happy atmosphere.
"Ahhhh!" Emilia was about to go berserk. How could she raise a son who knew how to sell his mother after a whole day? The Imperial Baroness signaled her son to come over and be beaten. Frederic ran away with a bad smile:
"Mom, you are still pretending! When you were in Nuer, you often called daddy's name in your dreams, and you even took out the love letters written by daddy from time to time and read them!"
"You, you, you, you, you! Ryan!" Emilia was so embarrassed that she had no face to see anyone. The Imperial Baroness stamped her feet and shouted aggrievedly at Ryan: "Look at your son! Just go ahead.
I, I’m leaving!”
After saying that, the Imperial Dame lifted up her skirt and hurried away.
It's time to find something to do for these two sons, otherwise they will be beaten! Black lines appeared on Ryan's forehead.
There are two most annoying ages for boys. The first is when they are about 6-9 years old. At this age, they dare to do anything and try anything. The second age is when Devon Hill and Frederick are like this.
Big, just in the rebellious stage.
When I went back that night, both sons were caught and beaten by Ryan. At the same time, Ryan threatened the two sons that if they behaved like this again, they would be put in solitary confinement until the little queen left.
They quickly said, "Dad, I don't dare anymore." They were so angry that smoke came out of Ryan's head.
He really didn't understand why his two sons were fascinated by the little queen of eternity.
What? You said there are pointy ears in my backyard?
That's right, but I was not fascinated by the pointed ears. It was clearly me who fascinated them!
Ryan doesn't have much time to worry about this anymore, he still has a lot to do tomorrow.
Early the next morning, the energetic Devonshire and Frederick got up early and took several entourages to the Blue House to meet the little queen.
Alisara's attitude seemed to have changed slightly. The little queen seemed more polite and willing to talk today. She expressed the hope that Devonshire could take her to visit the city of Jean and the Earl of Glamorgan where King Ryan made his fortune.
Seeing that the little queen actually chose him, Devonshire nodded excitedly.
Frederick was a little disappointed when he saw this, and Alisara immediately showed him a moving smile. The eldest son suddenly had no objections and quickly followed: "I am familiar with this place too! Mine is
Your Highness."
After walking around the city of Jean, Alisala noticed the Old Guards barracks in the distance. Routine drills were going on in that large military camp.
Looking from a distance, the whole building seems to have some kind of special power, shining brightly.
"Have you seen that power? Tolundir." White Tower Archmage Alamir said to the Dragon Prince: "As the Prince of Caledor, you should be familiar with that kind of thing."
"The soul of a strong army." The Dragon Prince's expression was rarely serious. He murmured to himself: "An army that has only been in existence for more than ten years can actually develop such a thing. These monkeys... human beings are really
It’s a good time.”
When the opportunity came, Alisara showed a slight smile towards Devon Hill. She spoke politely, her beautiful big green eyes full of curiosity: "I've heard about the Old Guards for a long time.
It’s so majestic, Mr. Devin, can we go in and have a look?”
Frederick frowned immediately.
Devon Hill was stunned for a moment. Something flashed in the eyes of the eldest son of the Sun King. The baron pretended to think for a while, and then reluctantly said: "My lord, I want to go in and ask Marshal Bertrand and Lei
Your Excellency, please wait."
"Okay." Alisara couldn't help but her eyes were shining. The beautiful little queen gently stretched out her hands to hold both sides of her skirt, took a step back with her right foot, bowed, and made an impeccable courtesy.
.
The secret of the rise of the Sun King seems to lie on the head of this baron.
…………I am the dividing line that glows in the eyes……
Just when the little queen and her party entered the old guard barracks to visit, Ryan was having breakfast with Belegar, the king of the Eight Peaks Mountain, and Belegar's son, Thorgreen Jr., also came.
Since his last visit to Britannia, Belegar has actually not traveled far at all. The King of the Eight Peaks has since traveled around the southern kingdom and the north shore of Arabi, partly to see if any dwarves are willing to join.
Bafeng Mountain contributes to the great revival of Bafeng Mountain. On the other hand, it also purchases rare metals from all over the world for the restoration and production of the dwarf colossus.
Belega actually found two groups of people. The first group was Chang Delang's pirate group. This group was originally a dwarf chamber of commerce. However, it encountered a storm at sea and all the goods sank to the bottom of the sea. Chang Delang and others did not survive.
The only way to repay the debt was to become a pirate, and to bear the price of breach of contract, he shaved his head and trimmed his beard and became a dwarf butcher.
Belegar gave them a chance to return to dwarf society. As the king of the Eight Peaks Mountain, he had such power. Naturally, the dwarf pirate group also wanted to return to dwarf society, and the two sides hit it off.
The second group is a dwarf exploration team on the north coast of Arabi, with about two to three hundred people. They hang out there after mining, because their home in the old world has already been captured by the Skaven.
When the King of the Eight Peaks Mountains came, who had killed the headhunter Quek, they were all willing to join the Angrond clan, and Belegar successfully incorporated them.
Of course, as soon as the Lane brothers shouted, Belega would naturally come over with others immediately.
There was breakfast on the table, including toast, Thuringian sausage, fried eggs, two slices of fried bacon, two slices of tomatoes, a small bowl of stewed overcooked beans, and a cup of steaming goat's milk.
Belegar ate and drank without ceremony as if he were at home. While praising the humans for their good craftsmanship, he told the dark elves to bring more. Orika responded with a sweet smile and arranged for Sil.
The maid group headed by Via worked overtime.
"Brother Belegar, I have prepared a total of two hundred mixed-blood elf mules and four hundred ordinary mules and horses for you." Ryan took out a list and handed it to the white beard covered with sauce and goat milk.
Belga.
"Well, with these mules and horses, I can convert the elite dwarf army of Eight Peaks Mountain into mules and horses according to the plan you gave me, Brother Lane." Belega took a look at the list, and the King of Eight Peaks Mountain was happy.
Nod.
The mobility of the dwarf army has always been a huge problem. The dwarves are good at long-distance marches, but they are very slow at short-distance rapid marches. Moreover, in terms of material transportation and artillery transportation, they are still very backward using the ancient manpower and cart model, which is the torrent.
Guan invented the steam locomotive, but it was limited to the roads near Rapids Pass.
So Lane took the initiative to propose the idea of mules and horses, which meant that the weapons and soldiers of the dwarves were carried by mules and horses, while the infantry still fought on foot. At the same time, the artillery was mules and horses were used, and mules were used to pull various heavy artillery and war machines.
, ensuring mobility and rapid transportation in combat.
However, all the dwarf kingdoms rejected Lane's idea of mules and horses as an army on the grounds that "the laws of their ancestors are immutable". Even the king of Breeze Castle, Rorek-Granite Hand, thought it was an insult. The noble dwarves
How can you sit on a cart pulled by a mule? Do you humans look down on us?
Only Belegar and his Eight Peaks Mountain dwarves think they can give it a try, because for the Eight Peaks Mountain dwarves, they have a life-and-death relationship with the Bretons. Eight Peaks Mountain is also the place where the Brittanians led by Ryan
In this case, the dwarves of the Eight Peaks Mountains led by Belega felt that the Lane brothers would not cheat them, and the awakened Mother Goddess Valaya had also endorsed Lane, so it was impossible to talk about the immutability of the ancestral law.
.
Why not try the Lane brothers' idea?
Perhaps this can bring epoch-making changes to dwarves who do not have an advantage in speed!
