Riding and Slashing

Chapter 30 The Son of Prophecy Who Can Use Prophecy
Of course Jatu will attack from here.

Li Ang came to such a conclusion, which was naturally well thought out.

It must be at the behest of Duke Alma that Forcher would establish a stronghold in this place.

This is the most gentle place in the lower reaches of Tongtian River.

The Tongtian River traverses the entire eastern province, and the water flow in most sections of the river is extremely turbulent, gradually cutting the river course into deep canyons over tens of millions of years.

This caused the river to get deeper and deeper year after year, and the river became more and more urgent. Most of the time, it spewed violently in the canyon.

Moreover, the river is very deep. Even in the dry season of summer, the water in the river is still high and the waves are high.

In this era, such high gorge and deep gorge, wingless creatures are basically impossible to cross.

Therefore, the Tongtian River used to be a natural border.

Now, the upper reaches of this river are the dividing line between the eastern and northern provinces, as well as the territorial dividing line between Changhe Town and Shihu City.

And the lower reaches of the river were the natural moat that blocked the Jiatu people's iron hooves.

In the middle reaches of the Tongtian River, that is, behind Changhe Town, the river channel became flat and wide, so it became a lake that was tens of miles wide—like a natural reservoir.

This is why Changhe Town was originally built here.

The other river sections are natural barriers, so building a fortress on a gentle river course is to prevent enemies from the north from crossing the border from a gentle river section.

However, this gentle and wide river is only a short section of Changhe Town, and the downstream river is still deep valleys and high cliffs.

The terrain of the natural reservoir near Changhe Town also resulted in no dry season at all in the downstream, and roared and roared all year round.

The gentle river near Fletcher Village has become the only place in the lower reaches of the Tongtian River that can be passed by rafts or boats.

This means that, except for the primeval forest near Fort Yongdun or further east, if the Jatu people want to enter Changhe Town, they can only cross the river from here.

Otherwise, they could only run a few hundred miles westward to harass the territory of Lion Lake City.

So the camp next to Fletcher Village is actually an important border area guarding the water's edge, a miniature Long River Town.

And the people sent by Fucher did a "good man and a good deed" in this place-they were building a wooden bridge on this relatively gentle river section.

So, as the people in the county saw, they were indeed engaged in civil engineering.

But this intention is quite sinister-the north is full of wilderness, and this bridge is obviously not for the villagers of Fletcher Village.

Of course, if you plan to continue heading north and cross the Jatu Grassland to the Ravencrow Kingdom in the north, then you will really need this bridge—but who would cross the Jatu territory with enough food?

Do you deliver food to your door?

No one needs this bridge but the Jatu...

If the bridge is repaired, it will be very convenient for the Jatu people to burn, kill and loot the area under the jurisdiction of Changhe Town...

To be honest, this really belongs to collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country-but building bridges and paving roads is a legitimate act anywhere, and it even belongs to doing good deeds.

Obviously, the Horton family of the Duke of Alma made a deal with the Jatu people.

This deal would probably not only protect his territory of Lion Lake City from being invaded by the Jatus, but also bring convenience for him to attack his political opponents. If nothing else happened, he would gradually gain control of Changhe Town with the cooperation of the Jatus.

The only problem is that the villages and merchants in the entire eastern province will face the iron heels and slaughter of the Jatu people.

Especially the area under the jurisdiction of Changhe Town.

These prairie barbarians are extremely powerful in combat, and their methods of looting are also extremely terrible-they will rob all women and property, including food and tools.And apart from the women they considered their property, any creature taller than the wheel was slaughtered.

But for a high-ranking nobleman like Alma, the life and death of the people in other people's territories is none of his business...

In the process of all power struggles, it is the grassroots who are hurt after all.

It has always been like this in any era.

"Sarah, don't you think the current Duke of Alma is very similar to the former thief Alfred?"

Li Ang looked at the shallow river beside him, and said softly.

The river water was crystal clear, and Li Ang didn't have the slightest expression on his face.

But Sarah was struck by lightning.

yes……

They are all the lords of Lion Lake City, they are all powerful princes, they are all plotting to control Changhe Town, and even the way of plotting Changhe Town is exactly the same—trading with the Jatu people, and leading the Jatu people into the hinterland of the kingdom...

He is copying the way of stealing the country of Alfred, the first generation of fierce lion king!

"You think so, don't you... I think Ralph thinks so too."

Li Ang pointed his finger to the north, which was the direction of Jiatu Grassland.

"Then, I will also make a prophecy... What this duke will do next - he will sell the land of Changhe Town and trade with the Jatus, lead the Jatu cavalry into the Sarleion Kingdom, and destroy it with the hands of the Jatus." Lose the Lion Kingdom, and then steal the kingdom and become the king!"

"Just as Lord Sarleon did 150 years ago!"

A ray of setting sun reflected Li Ang from behind, shining the last golden light on the chain armor.

Li Ang's finger pointing to the north disappeared into the horizon along with the last ray of light, as if it pierced the whole world with a single wave of his hand.

"This...could it be..."

Sarah had goosebumps all over her body, and stared blankly at Li Ang. She couldn't see through this mysterious little lord even more.

This lord, who usually looks like a treacherous businessman, can deduce such an astonishing thing from such a few trivial things.

Or, to make such an astonishing prediction.

Sarah does think that his inference has a high probability of becoming a reality, but in comparison, this is not terrible...

What frightened her was the reason why Li Ang said that - the prophecy.

This is like Madigan's prophecy, a terrible skill inherited from some ancient countries.

——In a certain ancient country, it was called the 'Cross-Between Technique'.

It's just that Madigan's prophecy is probably to awaken some consciousness of the people; while Leon's 'prophecy' is a vertical and horizontal technique aimed at Ralph.

In other words, it was to summon the ranger group for the horn.

If the prophecy comes true, and Alma indeed lured the Jatus into the country with the intention of overthrowing the Sarleon Kingdom, then the Horn Call Rangers will most likely be destroyed because of this—they belong to Earl Alden, they are the century-old enemy of the Jatus, and they belong to the town of Longhe. The natives, for whatever reason, made them the ultimate enemy of Alma.

Today's Horn Call Ranger Group is just like the Griffin Knights in those days!
And if the prophecy is false, then in order to prevent someone from actually acting on it, it is even more necessary to plan ahead and plug all the gaps that can be plugged—such as the camp by the Tongtian River.

Therefore, as the core officer of the Horn Calling Ranger Group, Ralph should take precautions first, so as not to be restrained by others!
This is also a friendly reminder to the Horn Rangers of possible crises and ways to prevent them.

"I understand, my lord. I will tell Ralph your reasoning...he will buy this place, and you will get the friendship of the Horn Calling Rangers as you wish. I will do my best."

Sarah's greatest strength is her excellent understanding.

Since Li Ang deliberately told her to fool... well, to 'guide' Ralph, the clever vixen can certainly understand Li Ang's intentions because of this—she is a foreign officer, and her duty is to bring friendship to other forces for Li Ang.

Sarah stroked her chest and bowed in salute. She took the task seriously and looked at Li Ang with deep awe.

You can gather the wool, and you can earn the gratitude of the Horn Ranger...

This lord...

He is the Son of Prophecy!

Only those who can use the 'guiding art' of 'prophecy' are the sons of prophecy.

"Cough... Well, Sarah, the main thing is to sell it for a good price. We can talk about friendship slowly..."

The awe in Sarah's eyes turned to blank stares in an instant.

Well, even if he is really the son of prophecy, he is still the guy who only thinks about making money...

Bringing two hunks from Mettenheim as bodyguards, and some loot by the way, Sarah quickly set off for Long River Town.

As soon as Sarah was sent away, Li Ang heard a system prompt that he had never heard before.

- Your 'Coach' skill level has increased.

Skill improvement?
It's still a skill that can't be added to the team in this half-baked subsystem!
It turns out that these skills can only be improved after they have specific actions and effects, just like practicing the grassman archery target to improve their proficiency in those six months!
But why coach skills? !

Is it because I guided Sarah to think proactively, or let Sarah understand another meaning of "prophecy", which is also a kind of teaching?
