Chapter 35 The Gray Eagle Raid the Dongchuan Incident!
Dongchuan Territory was breached!
The news revealed by Mr. Mu Lin really shocked Mu Chen.
The former has also said that the Dongchuan Territory is the largest territory near the Mu Territory. Relying on the iron ore in the territory, it has gathered a lot of wealth and is strong.
In addition, Dongchuan Territory is vast in area, ten times larger than Mu Territory, and its population ranks first in the entire Mu Territory, with more than 50,000 people, which is also ten times that of Mu Territory.
Therefore, the strength of the Dongchuan Territory is really not weak. It has a standing army of 3,000 people, plus 2,000 reserve troops, which makes it a full army of 5,000 people!
Although the average level of these five thousand troops is not high, it is still a very powerful force, enough to run rampant in the misty plains without fear of anyone...
etc!
Mu Chen was surprised, but also suddenly thought of it. He stared at Mr. Mu Lin and asked tentatively.
"Is it Gray Eagle Leader?"
Mr. Mu Lin nodded, and Mu Chen secretly said that it was true.
To be able to defeat the Dongchuan Territory, only the most powerful Gray Eagle Territory in the Misty Plains could do it.
The Gray Eagle Territory is the recognized first territory in the Misty Plains, with a population of nearly 100,000, an area of tens of thousands of miles, and a standard army of 6,000 and a reserve army of 4,000. It can even mobilize tens of thousands of people in full force.
"Has the Greyhawk Leader finally taken action?"
Mu Chen frowned and turned the pen in his hand unconsciously, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, they had arrived at the lord's office, which was a meeting place similar to the Hokage's office. Tsunade sat aside, lazily not wanting to move.
At this time, the elders of the three major clans of Mu Zhiling were sitting opposite Mu Chen with solemn expressions, discussing matters with him.
Little Jasmine, wearing a beautiful light blue princess dress, shuttled nimbly through the crowd, serving tea to Mu Chen and the clan elders.
Then she sat next to Tsunade, and the two chatted quietly together, not interested in the conversation between Mu Chen and the clan elders.
Mu Chen and the others naturally let her go. The power structure of the Mu Territory is very simple. The lord is the largest and has all the power to make decisions.
The three clan elders will also make suggestions to help the lord make decisions.
They are all old. They have worked hard for the Mu Territory all their lives. They have long looked down on power and other things. They are half dead in the earth. They only hope that the Mu Territory can get better and better.
"This morning, not long after the lord took the White Stone Army out for training, the Mu Territory welcomed an envoy."
Another clan elder, Mr. Mu Sen, stroked a piece of wooden stick in his hand. Years of playing with it had already made the originally rough wooden stick patina, making it extremely rounded.
His face is older than that of Mr. Mu Lin, but he is actually younger.
In an old and feeble voice, he slowly told what happened——
It turned out that the person who came in the morning was an envoy sent by the Qingmu Territory, and brought news that the Dongchuan Territory had been breached.
The situation in the Misty Plains is complicated. Most of the territory in the north is occupied by the powerful Gray Eagle Territory. Only a few lords who surrendered to him are able to survive.
In the southern part of the Misty Plain, there are twenty-one territories with hundreds of thousands of people living, including the Mu Territory.
None of these twenty-one southern lords were willing to surrender to the Gray Eagle Territory, so they joined forces to keep each other warm, help each other, and jointly resist the attack of the Northern Gray Eagle Territory.
This is something that has been agreed upon since Mu Chen's father's generation and even his grandfather's generation.
It's a loose alliance.
The Dongchuan Territory is the most powerful territory in the Southern Lords Alliance. It naturally plays a role similar to the alliance leader and has always been the backbone of the resistance against the Gray Eagle Territory.
Under the Dongchuan Territory, there are a few relatively powerful territories such as the Aoki Territory, which jointly guard the southern territory.
However, Mu Zhiling's strength is not outstanding among them, and it is just a participant and a protected person.
However, because the Territory of Mu is rich in food and has accumulated a large amount of rice grain, the Territory of Mu has been the best candidate for logistical support in the past wars with the Gray Eagle Territory and other northern territories, and is responsible for supplying food and grass for the entire alliance.
Although the strength is not strong, the status is not low, and it can be regarded as the second echelon in the league.
Back to the topic, Dongchuan Leader, as the leader of the Southern Lords Alliance, was actually wiped out overnight, so Mu Chen was particularly surprised.
"Has the Gray Eagle Territory become so powerful? It was actually able to quietly destroy the Dongchuan Territory..."
Mu Chen bit the tip of his pen, feeling a little irritated.
He originally planned to train troops for half a year, fight for half a year, and completely fog the plains for one year. But now it is not even half a year, but only three months. The Gray Eagle leader has become impatient and directly launched a war.
This caught him a little off guard.
"The specific situation is unclear, but according to the envoy of the Aoki Territory, although the Dongchuan Territory was destroyed, its lord was not killed. Instead, he fled to the Aoki Territory in embarrassment with his cronies..."
The third clan elder, Mr. Mu Mu, answered with a serious look on his face. Apparently he also felt that Dongchuan was defeated too quickly.
"Lord Dongchuan is still alive?"
Mu Chen raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
But then I didn’t care anymore. For a territory, the lord was the most important, and conversely, for the lord, the territory under his rule was also the most important.
Without his territory, Lord Dongchuan, as a lonely man, has lost his previous power and power, and can only rely on the Qingmu Territory to survive.
He can no longer afford to be the invisible leader of the Confederacy!
It is not an exaggeration to say that it has plummeted.
"But since Lord Dongchuan was not captured, Lord Gray Eagle must have been furious."
Mu Chen suddenly smiled, quite gloating about his misfortune.
After being in this world for so long, Mu Chen has learned a lot about the common sense among some of the lords in the Lord Continent.
Generally speaking, the purpose of the war between lords is to plunder the population and occupy the land. In addition, the most important thing is to seize the lord's seal of the enemy lord.
The Seal of the Lord is a token given by the great gods that represents the identity of the Lord. It is a sacred symbol that can protect the Lord and declare his authority.
Quite a bit like the divine right of kings in the Middle Ages on earth in the past life...
Therefore, the status of the lord is supreme and no one can desecrate it!
Looting other people's Lord's Seal and improving the level of your own Lord's Seal has various benefits.
The greatest benefit is to become a god!
However, there are too many lord's seals needed to become a god. I am afraid that all the lord's seals in the entire continent need to be merged into one to become the largest and most powerful lord in order to truly become a god.
In addition, the lord's seal can also improve the lord's physical fitness. Under the protection of the sacred light, he will be free from all diseases and at the same time, his cultivation speed will also be improved to varying degrees.
It can be said to be the most important treasure among the lords of this world!
The battles between lords were extremely cruel, and the losing side would be extremely miserable. Not only would all the people in the territory be robbed, but they themselves would also be unable to protect themselves.
Because the fastest and most convenient way to seize the lord's seal is to kill the lord directly!
When a lord dies, his lord's seal becomes an ownerless thing and can be absorbed by anyone.
Those who have obtained the Lord's Seal can become a new lord and rule their original territory reasonably and legally. The resistance of the people in the territory towards you will be minimized and they will easily recognize you.
