Chapter 621 (2/2)
Let them hand over queen ovintana within the time limit and pay war reparations according to the list provided by the Western Odin Empire, otherwise their million troops will go south on a large scale when the spring comes.
At that time, it will not only flatten the blood castle, but also destroy the whole Byron League.
The memory image of the war reparations list was in Shawn's hands within a week.
The Western Odin empire was a lion's mouth. The amount of war compensation demanded by the Empire was astonishing, ranging from steel, which is an important strategic material, to sewing, which was a kind of living material. Among them, the key point was the anger of God, another name for black powder.
If the war compensation list is converted, the total value will exceed 10 billion Royal gold coins.
Let's not say whether the blood fort on the fracture has the ability to pay the war compensation. Even if it has the ability, according to the nature of the eldest Duke Cedric, it is impossible to send money to the opponent's pocket. It is impossible for a copper plate to be fought first.
Seiderek was fearless and was not frightened by the terrible figures in the mouth of the messengers of the Western Odin empire.
If the timeline goes back 10 years, no, even three years.
When millions of Odin orcs go south at the same time, it will inevitably cause great pressure on the blood fort on the fracture. They must be prepared to fight to the last person and lose the whole defense line.
But now, because of the existence of black powder, a new type of weapon, the sea of people tactics have lost its significance, but they have also been greatly weakened. Especially for those soldiers who have been exposed to black powder for the first time, the deterrent power will be even greater.
At that time, they not only need to rush forward under the black powder, but most importantly, they need to overcome their psychological fear.
This point was verified by the actual combat when the blood fortress of the fracture raided the miracle peninsula. The orcs of Odin, who are usually extremely brave and brave enough to face dozens or even hundreds of times their own enemies alone, dare to launch a Jedi charge.
In the face of gunpowder, they are not much better than ordinary Odin Orc herders. Once they are dominated by fear, they will only escape.
The unknown is more terrible than death.Once the morale is drained, it's really hard to bring it up again.
It is wishful thinking that the Western Odin Empire wants to use cannon fodder to attack the city and break through the blood castle with a lot of black powder.
In particular, when the joint venture of Yongye military leader and fractural blood fort was established behind the fracture blood fort, the grand duke Cedric was more confident.
Although the core manufacturing technology of these factories is still in the hands of Yongye Army leaders, their capital injection only gives them the right of first refusal.
But for the fracture blood fort which has not mastered the black powder manufacturing technology, a short time is enough.
At least they will have a steady stream of gunpowder to use in wartime.
If they had to, they would even take over by force.
Of course, this is a last resort. It is not a wise choice to punish Yongye military leader for a black powder formula.
The young count did not rise for a long time. He had a lot of good things in his hands. He was as resourceful as an old fox.
When he does not hesitate to take out the black powder, it means that he has mastered better things.
The Duke of Cedric had a deep mind, and he did not care about the threat to the Western Odin empire.
But the barons of the Byron League could not ignore it.
In particular, the distance from the line of defense of the broken pulse is relatively close, all in a panic.
However, they have heard that the Western Odin Empire has destroyed the East Odin Empire, and the lion clan royal court has become a thing of the past. The number of troops is frightening.
In this case, the means adopted by those lords and nobles are really various, and they can do anything.
They should be responsible for the peaceful settlement of the matter. The best way is to allow them to withdraw on their own.
For this type of muzzle gun, Cedric is not even a bird, and they call and shout. When they really get out of the way, they run faster than rabbits.
There are also those who take the initiative to make friends with the blood fort, send food and soldiers, hoping that they can hold on to the line of broken veins and prevent the Western Odin empire from breaking through and entering their territory to burn, kill and plunder wantonly.
This kind of person is a typical temporary cramming. When the eldest Duke Cedric asked them to donate troops, most of them were reluctant. At this time, he couldn't give them good looks and accept all the things that were sent to their door in vain. As for the promise, he didn't say a word.
Because there is no difference between commitment and non commitment, they will stick to the defense line of broken pulse.
When the broken pulse line of defense can not hold, even if they promise more, they also have no energy to consider other.
There are also those who take advantage of this opportunity to plunder and exploit a small number of wealth of the people. In name, they recruit troops and build fortifications to prevent accidents. As for what the looted wealth has done, no one knows.
This kind of person is basically to die. Most of them will die without the fight of the Western Odin empire. If anyone is squeezed miserably, it will break out, especially in the midst of chaos.
There are also those who pack up their valuable family property, leave their loyal neighbors behind, and take their families to Wangdu or take refuge in the south.
Even if such a person survived the disaster safely, his family is likely to inevitably decline.
They do not want to pay for the people at the critical moment, but also hope that the leaders will devote themselves to them?
In addition to these chaotic situations, there are also people who have made a difference. At this critical moment, they abandon their homes and businesses, take armor and grain, and go north spontaneously, ready to defend their beloved homes.
These people are not necessarily barons and nobles. Some of them even come from the bottom, especially mercenaries who have just started their business last year.
Most of them come from the blood castle on the fracture. They have deeper feelings for the people and the land here. When they hear that this place is in danger, they will instinctively run to this side.
What's more, the industry they are now engaged in is closely related to the blood castle on the fracture. If this place is occupied, it will directly affect their future vitality.
Don't think that being a mercenary in Byron League has nothing to do with blood castle on the fracture.
The fracture blood castle's blood riding is a big tree behind them.
As long as this big tree is there, no matter where they go, they just need to report their own name, and they can be courteous.
Once this big tree falls down, even if they have the most powerful force, they will not be able to withstand the numerous bandits everywhere, and their mercenary industry will be very difficult to do a lot.
They still understand this truth.
Headed by the varesta chamber of Commerce, more conscientious businessmen also continuously transport various goods and materials. Last year, they made a lot of money because of the blood castle on the fracture. Now it's time for them to pay back.
The relationship now established is far more secure than usual.
Even if the orcs of the Western Odin empire are gaining momentum, they are also clouds floating in the sky, which will flow over them. The broken vein defense line and fracture blood castle are really rooted here.As long as the Western Odin Empire does not completely destroy the Byron alliance, the broken line of defense, even if it is damaged, will still be rebuilt, and their border trade will be hopeful to continue.
Moreover, the broken line of defense is not so if not wind, they are very clear, last year, the financial well-off blood fort from the yongnight army ordered how much arms.
Because of the many weapons, the night army leader is not easy to go out of the horse, they are all by their behalf for transport.
But for the Byron coalition in a crisis of faith, it is a rare opportunity.
