Chapter 198 (1/2)

Law of the devil chapter 198

The 198th chapter “The one who create miracles”

As a man and a lord of a province, Du Wei would of course be filled with pride and want to achieve s hat he have; after all, he is still young and the blood inside of him is easily incited

Nonetheless, the number of problems he is faced with is also numerous

On the financial side, he is currently not lacking inat it fros that needs funding! If not for the sum he extorted from the natives in the southeast, he feared his current wealth won’t last hi at this rate

Desa Province’s location can be considered the closest territory to the Northwest

To the west is the Kili for thousands of miles to the north and south

This is the Empire’s natural western barrier

Yet it just so happens that in this Kiliap” inside his territory As the only passage into the desert prairie for the empire, this place is known to many as the “Northwest Corridor”

Unlike what Du Wei wished, this corridor is not so across the entire est section can reach as wide as ten kilo

It can be said that the Kili the desert winds and the natives living in the prairie

And this gap is a strategic stand point!

When Du Wei first caraphic inforht it wasn’t hard to solve this problem

His solution at the tie military fortress at the corridor With hundreds of troops stationed at this place throughout the year, what else is there fear?

But later on, Du Wei found that his idea was too naïve!

Whether it is building a defense wall or a fortress, there is one fatal problem to it all… And that is water!

People need water, and horses need water!

Not going to speculate on a grand scale, just the 20,000 troops stationed inside a h to shoot the idea down because where would they find the needed water supply in a mountain corridor?

This world has no running water pipes and the Northwest is a dry barren land with scarce supplies of rivers! Throughout the year, most of the land is dry with only the brief rainy season to sooth the land

To counteract this proble wells for their water supply Unfortunately because of the geographic layout of the corridor, most of the underside soil is pure bed rock! So not only is tapping into a river out of the question, even digging for a well is impossible!

If they really forced a military fortress onto this place, then the water supply for tens of thousands of troops can only be brought in by horseback everyday!

A person can’t be without water, especially in this arid region!

Just thinking of the a!

This is simply impossible!

That’s why establishi+ng a defensive fortress in the Northwest Corridor is nothing but empty words

The Empire’s solution to this is to set up nu happens, these outposts will be acting as a warning beacon to inform the main body back in theto the Northwestern Army
