Volume Four "The Throne" Chapter 1 Uncertain Factors
Just less than a week after the new year in 3783 in the new calendar of the mainland, a cold wind swept across the entire Murto Mountains with a heavy snowstorm.
The snowflakes began to fall in the early morning and did not stop until noon.
The entire sky and the ground were dyed pure white by snowflakes, which not only covered the desolate and barren land on the ground that had become barren due to the war, but also completely covered up the blood stains that had turned dark red in the entire soil, making the whole The Murto Mountains seem to have become as pure and white as snowflakes.
Sharon Li Nur, the head of the Greedy Wolf Legion, stood outside the tent and looked at the snow-covered Murto Mountains in the distance, leaving only a vague outline. His body was completely covered by snowflakes, and he turned into made a snowman.
Although the Murto Mountains in the distance couldn't be seen clearly because of the snowstorm, Li Nur knew that there must be the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari all over it.
Just as they were guarding against the Zhenbei Army might take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack, the Zhenbei Army must also be guarding against their Greedy Wolf Legion seizing the opportunity to counterattack the Murto Mountains.
This confrontation has been going on since last year when the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Central Lampari captured the Murto Mountains.
Both sides are unwilling and dare not back down, because once they back down here, it would be equivalent to surrendering the borders of both sides to the other side's army, and no one could predict the consequences.
However, in the current weather, neither side obviously has any offensive capabilities, but they can enjoy a rare period of peace.
However, Li Nuer was very dissatisfied with this kind of peace.
The Murto Mountains, which had been controlled by the Kingdom of Sark for nearly ten years, were lost in his hands because of this. There are now very loud calls in the Kingdom of Sark to replace the head of the Li Nuer Army. This made Li Nuer extremely passive during this time.
Compared with this passive. In fact, what Li Nuer cares most about is the shame that losing the Murto Mountains brought him.
As a soldier, but unable to keep the position he was guarding, for Li Nuer, it was like being slapped hard in the face by someone.
Every time he saw the Murto Mountains, he felt a burning pain on his face, and the anger in his heart was ignited again.
However, every time he thinks of the fighting power displayed by the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari when it attacked the Murto Mountains last year, Li Nuer seems to have been poured cold water on his head. Instantly calm down.
He knew very well that if the Zhenbei Army maintained the fighting power of last year and the Greedy Legion did not change, then even if they fought again, the Greedy Legion would definitely be defeated without any suspense.
In the past six months, the Northern Army of the Lampari Kingdom has not made further progress in the Sac Kingdom. In Li Nuer's view, it is not because of the strength of the Greedy Legion, but more because of the national power gap between the two kingdoms behind them.
However, the more aware of this fact, the more shameful Li Nuer felt.
"Just wait, sooner or later. I will take back the Murto Mountains with my own hands!"
Under the urging of his personal guard, Li Nuer snorted softly. Taking one last look at the distant Murto Mountains, he turned and walked back to the tent.
Just shaking off the snowflakes on his body vigorously, the curtain of the tent was lifted again, and the cold wind rushed in instantly, making Li Nur couldn't help shivering all over.
Just as he was about to turn his head to reprimand, he found that it was Chief of Staff Aiwei Joao who suddenly rushed in. Li Nuer's reprimand, which had reached the edge of his throat, immediately turned into a question.
"What? What's the hurry?"
Aiwei João rubbed his hands together, and there was no anxiety on his face, but a hint of joy.
Now that his hands were warmed on the brazier lit in the tent, he carefully took out a stack of papers from his arms and handed them to Li Nuer.
Li Nur took it over in doubt, but found that the drawings on these papers were all strange pictures, which looked like some kind of mechanical drawings.
"What is this?"
Joao chuckled: "It's something you've been thinking about day and night."
Li Nurton's eyes lit up immediately: "Could it be the blueprint of the magic trebuchet?"
"That's right."
Hearing Joao's answer, Li Nuer quickly stood up again and opened the drawing, and read it intently.
However, he didn't know anything about this aspect of knowledge, and no matter how concentrated he was, he couldn't see what was going on.
However, from some of the patterns drawn on these drawings, he can still see some clues. He can confirm that the things described above are indeed brought out by the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari last year, which caused the Greedy Legion to suffer so much that A magical trebuchet that couldn't even hold a position.
"Where did you get this thing?" Li Nuer asked.
"The General Staff Department got it from the Kingdom of Lampari. This is just a copy that I brought over from you." Joao took back the blueprint from Li Nuer, folded it carefully and put it in his arms. "This is something that the General Staff Department spent a lot of money to get. It took me a lot of effort to get a copy for you to see."
Li Nuer was a little strange: "The Staff Office is really good. It is said that the Kingdom of Lampari must have protected such an important blueprint very closely. They were able to get it."
Joao laughed: "It's none of our business how we got it. The good news I want to tell you is that His Majesty the King has ordered to speed up the research on this thing. I don't think it will be long before we will have a magic trebuchet." used."
There was no joy on Li Nuer's face, but he frowned deeply.
"I'm not as optimistic as you. Didn't the guys from the Kingdom Magic Court study it before, and the result? Dozens of people were directly killed by the test machine! I don't think they can really rely on this blueprint now." get it out."
"It's better to try than not to try." Joao shook his head. "Otherwise, do you think we can beat those guys from the Northern Army of Shangzhen again?"
Li Nur lowered his face, and after a while, he sighed and shook his head slowly.
"The power of these things is too great to stop. Many times I think, if Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were in our Sark Kingdom, we would have defeated the Lampari Kingdom by now. After coming down, there is no need to suffer here.”
"It's a pity that the reality is that that guy is in the Kingdom of Lampari." Joao sighed. "But fortunately, according to the situation from the Magic Court, the research on this blueprint seems to be progressing smoothly. Let's wait patiently for the good news."
Li Nuer snorted coldly: "Then they didn't say how long we'll wait? Don't forget, there was news from there last year that now their eldest prince Eric is in charge of the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari. This kid is planning to attack our Sark Kingdom in order to get some military exploits and seize the throne. I guess as soon as winter is over, this kid will not be able to wait to attack. If we don’t have any weapons to fight against If so, do you want to watch them fight into the kingdom?"
Joao smiled and said: "Don't worry too much about this. According to the information obtained by the General Staff Office, Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are on the side that supports Princess Seweini. In order to draw a line with him, that kid Eric did not report to Xinfei. Feishang will continue to purchase any military magic machinery, so the combat effectiveness of the northern army in the Kingdom of Lampari will not be as exaggerated as last year."
Li Nuer frowned and shook his head: "I really don't know what this kid is thinking. There is such a useful military magic machine but he doesn't use it. Does he think that he can defeat our Greedy Legion with his little boy?"
"You can't underestimate him too much." Joao said seriously. "There are many big families in the Kingdom of Lampari that support this kid's ascension to the throne, and they are very supportive of his counterattack against our Kingdom of Sark, so the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari that we encountered this time is likely to be ours. The Northern Suppressing Army has the best logistical supplies that I have ever been to, and its combat effectiveness must not be underestimated."
"As long as it is not equipped with those military magic machines, I am not worried about the combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army." Li Nuer showed disdain. "If you want me to say, maybe the guys in the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Lampari are able to eat, drink, wear and warm this time, and maybe their combat effectiveness will drop instead. Coupled with this idiot prince, if they It’s amazing how powerful it can be.”
"Anyway, it's better to be cautious." Joao said.
"Of course, I still know that." Li Nuer nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Actually, I strongly suggest that the General Staff Office find a way to get rid of that kid named Xu Yi directly. This kid is the biggest Uncertain factors. If he is making some more powerful military magic machinery, and the people in the Kingdom of Lampari are not as idiots as Prince Eric, then our situation will be really dangerous .”
"I'm afraid it won't work." Joao shook his head. "The Staff Office thinks that he is of great value. If we can get all the things that he and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have researched, it will be of great benefit to our Sark Kingdom. You have to understand that the goal of our Sark Kingdom is It's not just the Kingdom of Lampari."
Li Nuer frowned and pondered for a moment, then sighed softly: "I understand what you said is very reasonable, but I always feel that...letting this guy continue to exist will probably ruin our event in the end. Maybe... Our Sark Kingdom will be defeated by the Lampari Kingdom in the end..."
Joao laughed and patted Li Nuer on the shoulder: "You think too much. After all, the national strength of the Lampari Kingdom is much worse than our Sac Kingdom. And now they really don't even have an heir to the next king. After confirming it, the kingdom is not stable at all. Even if there are uncertain factors such as Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, what threat can it pose to us? What's more... the General Staff Office has already targeted Xu Yi, and he can turn over Come up with new tricks that we can't think of?"
Li Nuer was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.
"I hope so." (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!
