Realm of Power

As soon as Salon came down from the city tower, he received an urgent message from the legion headquarters. Even Isaac's tenacity was shocked by the situation inside. Three Miaoerdian heavy army groups, a hundred thousand troops, are now assembled in the Ovet area a hundred miles away from the northern fortress, and their full strength is only 20,000 people, including the logistics troops.

Of course, it's not all bad news. According to the secret delivery from the Legion Headquarters, the Governor-General, who is commanding the campaign outside Kyoto, temporarily transferred 5,000 of his most elite Samor Guards cavalry from the Kyoto front line to the northern fortress to expand the northern defense line. combat capability,

The letter also specifically pointed out that although the northern fortress is strong, it is not a place to be defended for a long time. One hundred thousand elite Myers are not comparable to the local army of the Stian family. If necessary, Salon is allowed to abandon the northern fortress and retreat to the Thirteenth Company Fort, where Close to the northern suburbs of Kyoto, echoing the main force of the Samor Army near Kyoto

Moreover, between the northern fortress and the Thirteenth Company Fort, there is a long and narrow hilly land with low terrain. It is the best area for small groups of elite cavalry to conduct mobile operations. It is covered by the powerful Samor Guards Cavalry, which can allow them to attack when necessary. The Northern Army retreated safely to the Thirteenth Company Fort, which virtually relieved the Northern Army from a lot of worries.

Salon's face turned a little rosy after reading the letter. Salon knew that this was the Governor's special care for him.

These five thousand Samorian Guards Cavalry are the treasures of the Governor. Each one is an elite carefully selected from each army. They are the sharpest blades on the sword of the Samorian army.

At this moment, the Governor handed over to him the most elite force in the Samor army. The respect and trust shown in it made Salon feel touched. It turns out that the Lord has not forgotten him yet!

Salon raised his head and put the letter on the table with a solemn expression. Under him were the two local flag commanders responsible for the defense of Hubolaban. Regarding the situation that Salon just explained, the two flag commanders could I feel an unspeakable pressure, and no one is afraid of fighting. You can use 20,000 people to fight against 100,000 people. Even a fool knows what the result will be.

"What? Are you two afraid?" Salon's one eye glanced at the faces of the two flag captains with a cold light, and said in a dull voice, "Don't you usually clamor to cross the river, but now is the chance! No! Do you dare to gnaw?" The two local flag captains blushed at the sarcasm. Look at me, I look at you, but they don't gnaw.

Among them was a big man with big arms and round waist, who was obviously a head taller than the others. He even buried his neck into his chest. This guy named Lu Ai, even though he looked taller than others, he was actually the person who was most afraid of death. ,

Originally the heir to the Dustoluai family, a branch of the Falcon family, when the Falcon family first split, this person was involved. The timid guy was the only one who didn't declare his separation from the family. After the fat man unified the Falcon Territory, he missed this loyal guy. He was made the leader of a local flag regiment.

Later, the Battle of Fort Jerbo broke out. In view of the fact that the main force of the legion marched westward to Dehrim and the northern defense force was seriously insufficient, Fatty temporarily transferred this guy who was afraid of death from the Falcon Territory to the northern fortress. Fatty knew that this guy was not good at fighting. Being timid is like a chicken, wasting such a good body, but there is one good thing, loyalty, at least he does not have the courage to support his troops. Samor has a large army outside, which is exactly what is needed most.

Moreover, Lu Ai's identity as a branch of the Falcon family can also give the soldiers stationed in the northern fortress a certain psychological guarantee, which invisibly plays a role in stabilizing military morale.

"Captain Lu Ai Banner! You are the general specifically mentioned in the governor's secret letter. I want to hear your thoughts on how we should fight this time!" Although Lu Ai wanted to find a hole to crawl into, Salon did not let him go. He ignored his wishes and looked at Lu Ai's tall figure, giggling at the corner of his mouth and saying,

Salon used to have a ferocious appearance, but now the corner of his mouth was grinning with an evil smile that made Lu Ai's tall boy tremble, and his heart pounded, knowing that he was in doom again this time. "Otherwise! Sir, you Just send me to negotiate!" Lu Ai's face looked like he was crying.

The letter from the Governor specifically mentioned that Luai would be sent to the north to negotiate on behalf of Samour. Of course, the negotiations were fake. The real purpose was to delay time. It would be best if the reinforcements from Kyoto could be delayed. Even if it doesn't take that long, it can at least give the Stian family in the north a small warning, "We discovered your little move." This will also slow down the advance of the army from the north to the south.

"This is a treasure that the Governor left for him." Salon nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't help but feel convinced by the Governor's advance arrangements.

At the beginning of the Internet, Salon was very dissatisfied with the governor for pushing such a useless person into his army. He even wrote a few letters to complain to the fat man, saying that this stupid big guy couldn't do shit and fainted when he saw blood. Boss, such people are a disgrace to the Samor army.

Soon, the fat man's reply came. In the letter, he scolded Salon severely, saying that Salon picked up a treasure but used it to compare the hardness with a stone, and told Salon several things about poor Luai. usage,

For example, if you go to the Legion Headquarters to ask for military expenses, this is a member of the Falcon family. No matter how harsh the quartermaster of the Legion Headquarters is, he would not dare to do anything about it.

Another example is to ask Lu Ai to negotiate the transportation of military supplies with those money-hungry guys from the Business Alliance. Fatty is the backend boss of the Business Alliance. Even if the deacons of the Business Alliance are money-hungry, they will never dare to negotiate with the Falcon Family. Withdraw money.

The last and most important role is to negotiate on behalf of Samor! Lu Ai is from the Falcon family and can nominally represent the Governor in negotiating with other forces! Such a multi-functional talent is rare.

After reading the letter, Salon said three good words with joy. When he saw Lu Ai's bitter face again, his eyes lit up, just like a beggar who hadn't eaten for three days and suddenly saw a fried chicken leg. The timid Lu Ai was not allowed to think that the one-eyed dragon had any bad habits, and he was worried all winter.

Speaking of which, the fat man still has some caring feelings towards the silly big man like Salon. After all, Salon leads the army to defend the bitter cold land alone. If there is no sweetness, Saha, a loser, won't do it.

There were endless letters asking for money, people, and weapons. The fat man was so annoyed that he had no choice but to let this guy Lu Ai go.

no! The best weapons must be equipped with the northern garrison first. This is the favorite excuse of the Samor Weapons Research Institute to raise prices.

Saron's northern garrison was the first unit in Samor to be equipped with cross lances. It was also the first unit to have a powerful Thor squadron, 10,000 elite cross spearmen, thousands of the latest infantry heavy crossbows, and one hundred and thirty heavy crossbows. and the Forty-Door Thunder God. This is Salon's confidence in wanting to hold on to the northern fortress.

Of course, there is a lot of pity for Lu Ai's contribution. After all, he is the person with the highest position in the Falcon branch family. Many new weapons were forced by Lu Ai from the weapons research institute. According to the establishment, Lu Ai was rationed. Those who belong to the Ai Banner Group will become Salon's property when they arrive at the northern fortress.

"Okay! Captain Lu Ai is really brave! I'll leave this matter to you." Salon patted Lu Ai's shoulder with a face filled with relief, and took out an unopened letter from his arms with a solemn expression. The secret letter was handed to Lu Ai. He said in a deep voice, "This is a secret letter added to the Governor's letter. Even I have not opened it. The Lord said in the letter that if Lord Luai agrees to the request of this mission, he will give this to you. !”

"Three days! We need at least three days to set up defenses!" Salon paused, waving three fingers in front of Lu Ai's miserable eyes, then stood up, stood up respectfully and bowed to Lu Ai. The military salute shocked Lu Ai.

Salon stared at Lu Ai with one eye and said with a serious expression, "This is what I do to you on behalf of the 20,000 northern fortress garrison! No matter how you suffered in the past, if there are still people who say that you, Lu Ai, are a coward, I am Salondi." One chopped it alive with a knife!"

"Sir!" Lu Ai straightened his body and his eyes were slightly red. This was the first time Lu Ai felt that he could be taken seriously. This one-eyed boss was a famous general in the Samor army. Being praised by him made Lu Ai feel that way. Excited, confused and escorted by dozens of scout cavalry, I crossed the northern river with full of hesitation.

"Quickly mobilize manpower and move all the available defense equipment to the fortress!" Salon looked away from Lu Ai's retreating figure and ordered to the messenger behind him.

"I have to thicken the two towers in the north and south. I tell the squadron leaders who are going crazy thinking about military exploits all day long. This is going to be a big business. Don't worry about eating enough. Three days. We only have three days. Let them give me the strength to suck milk Take it out, give me all your money! If anyone dares to hide his secrets, I will kill him alive!" Salon waved to the messenger again, "Go ahead! If I come, just say I’m looking for him!”

"Sir, are you looking for me?" A Samorian officer wearing the uniform of a squadron leader ran up to the top of the city excitedly. Salon turned around and grinned. His piercing one eye made Lefizat stunned. one time

"I remember that your boy's uncle is the head of the Business Alliance in the Hubolaban area. In the past, your boy was the one who hid the most private goods. Tell me. What are your plans this time?" Salon asked with a mysterious face. ,

"Sir, you are joking! I don't have anything to hide! This is all rumored by outsiders." Lefizat's face turned pale.

Hiding smuggled goods in the Samor army is a serious crime, and the northern fortress is located at the junction of the two sides. Due to the impact of the Kyoto embargo, goods that were supposed to pass through Kyoto were shipped directly from Hooper Laban to the north. This made Hooper Laban in the north a northern trade transfer station.

Because most of the troops stationed in the northern fortress were northerners who had fled to the south. After the Kugit War, many family members of the soldiers followed the army and settled in Khuburaban.

Regarding this situation, Fatty also turned a blind eye. Samour needed a stable northern border defense. If the soldiers' families were resettled in Hubolaban, it would be very beneficial to stabilize the morale of the military and improve their fighting will.

"You didn't hide anything?" Salon looked at Leffizat, who looked unnatural, and said seriously, "In the past two months, tens of thousands of cotton-padded clothes were transported from your defense area across the northern river. Last week, , ten more carts of leather from the Branlon area have been transported into Hupolaban from your defense area, do you really think that I, Salon, am blind? "

"Sir, this Lefizat's face is ashen and his body is shaking. He is trembling. Salon has always been strict in governing the army. He is only a little more relaxed about smuggling. This is actually hinted by the fat man's secret message.

Hooperaban is located in the northern cold land and has a small population. After a lot of burning, killing and looting by the Kujit people, and experiencing the rebellion of the private army, most of the people in the entire area have fled, and most of the villages have only ten houses. Jiukong, even building roads, uses prisoners of war. It is not easy to recover in a short time.

The fat man then thought of a crooked trick, smuggling, which could quickly make Hooper Laban a material trading center in the north. It would rejuvenate the Hooper Laban area from the war without spending a penny, and the population could migrate from the south. , but the economy needs these businessmen. Under such instructions, Salon is also happy to take part of the smugglers' contributions as the military expenses of the legion. "I want to die, I want to live! Let me be honest, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" Salon said solemnly, looking at the pale-faced Lephizat, waving his arms, and several murderous guards gathered around, The scabbard in his hand revealed half of its sharp edge.

"Sir!" Lefizat's face was bleak, he knelt on the ground, and said in an excited voice, "I heard that you have issued a war preparation order. As long as you don't kill me, I will kill the enemy heroically on the battlefield, even if I die, my subordinate. I hope to die on the battlefield like a Samorian soldier. I don’t want to be accused of being a smuggler after my death!”

"Okay, you are worthy of being led by Salon!" Salon looked pleased and waved to several guards. The guards made way and Salon turned around. Looking at the Ailet River in the distance with a deep look on his face, he said in a low voice

"I'm not afraid to tell you that our enemies are very strong this time. Their numbers are five times ours. They are all the most elite northern warriors. I don't know if I can still go back alive to report victory to the Governor! This I came to you this time to ask you for a favor, in order to keep more soldiers alive!"

"Sir, tell me!" Lefizat said excitedly, "As long as my subordinates can do it."

"Okay, that's what I've been waiting for!" Salon turned around, patted Lefizat on the shoulder, and whispered, "I know that there are three thousand and five thousand in the warehouse of the Balaban Business Alliance. Hundreds of rounds of military fuel bombs. I have already sent someone to report the call. "I sent it up, but time is tight, I have to get these things out first, and I need your uncle's help for this!"
