Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 273 Three Proposals
On August 20, the autographed letter from Ingwell passed through the Ancient Dragon Temple, crossed the ocean barrier, and was delivered to Lucia on the stormy sea.

Regarding the development of Gemir, the former Storm King's wings made three proposals in one go.

The first is to build three permanent fortresses across the entire Nangmir area from the upstream to the lower reaches of the Feigun River, and deploy elite members of the Kellen City Guards to join the foreign warriors from the surrendered tribes of Nangmir. guard.

At the same time, a large number of mercenaries were recruited in the form of long-term missions, and the three fortresses were used as activity centers and logistics supply points. Bounties were issued to the mercenaries against the heretical organizations and rogue bandits in the Beigemir area, and they were organized to carry out annual attacks on the north. for multiple rounds of eradication.

After locking the conflict line between South and North Gemir in the Boiling River Basin, the second thing is to fully mobilize the human and material resources accumulated by Karen in recent years, as well as the trust established with many foreign tribes in South Gemir, and follow the example of Duoris in the north to build more than ten large military towns in the entire South Gemir.

However, unlike Duolis's strategy, Ingwill proposed that these military towns were not military fortresses directly supported by Karen, but rather merged the various tribes of Nangmir under the unified coordination of Karen. Multiple large communities formed.

For example, several demi-human tribes in the same area that have been friends for generations can be reorganized into a unified large tribe during this process. The tribal leader directly serves as the leader of the military town, and can still maintain a considerable degree of autonomy in peacetime, but it requires Follow Karen's leadership in military, diplomatic and regional overall policies.

During this period, Karen was responsible for the main cost of building the military town and quelling conflicts and disputes during the reorganization, but he could also quickly establish the ruling structure of the Nangmir region;

The tribes of Nangmir must obey Karen's instructions to reorganize the clan power structure and offer their loyalty to Clayville and the ancient dragon dynasty behind Karen. However, at the same time, they have obtained a stable living environment and the recognition and recognition of a god-man. Asylum, from then on, they can become "people within the law" with some support under the system of the three dynasties.

Putting aside the inevitable conflicts during the integration process, this proposal is definitely a win-win strategy for both the Gulong Dynasty and the Nangemir tribe.

It is foreseeable that as long as this process advances quickly enough and most of the military town construction is completed before the Golden Dynasty, especially Ladagan and the New Party, realize the seriousness of the problem and begin to impose comprehensive restrictions, Lucia will be able to complete the entire military town. The Pianangmir region is firmly in the palm of your hand.

You must know that Duolis suppressed the unrest in the Far North Icefield for more than ten years with only an iron wall system that was fully supported by the outside world. Ingwill's strategy was established after Clayville's three-year management of Karen. It is a developmental strategic system that was born after a high degree of integration with local indigenous people.

For the demihumans, hybrids, and mountain monsters of Nangmir, the ancient dragon dynasty, which has treated many foreign races and humans equally for thousands of years, and has extended favors to Karen in recent years, and the unification war have turned against them. They recognize human beings and even persecute aliens with legal fundamentalism. When Lucia shows enough sincerity, it is not difficult to predict what choice they will make.

In time, Nangemir may not be able to become the territory of a dynasty that swears allegiance to Fam Azra like the East China Sea Islands.

"Use worthless mercenaries to fill the human life hole in Beigemir, lock the war between the north and the south at the Feigun River defense line, then control Nangemir in the form of a military town, and steadily open up the land between Karen and the Feigun River. It’s such a decisive and efficient way to capture the vast wilderness of space.”

Lucia stared at the letter in front of her and sighed softly after pondering for a long time.

After reading this, although the two of them were separated by thousands of miles of mountains and seas, he felt that he was echoing Yingweir's voice - the first two proposals were definitely just foreshadowing, and the real killer move would not be revealed until the last meeting. And out.

"Beigemir is a vast, hot and rugged terrain. However, the volcano is rich in minerals, and many caves and secret passages extend in all directions. It is unfathomable. Therefore, it has been a place where heretics and gods have been entrenched since ancient times. Local fugitives, thugs, and bandits are nothing but poison. , It can only be controlled by mercenaries to the north of the Feigun River, which is not enough. The heresy, and even the evil god itself, is the root cause of the pus in the sore base." "I once traveled around Beigemir for a year. , local residents have believed in the so-called "Snake God" for hundreds of years, and churches worshiping the Snake God can be seen everywhere. If His Highness wants to completely control Gemel, it is better to suppress such heretical beliefs than to appease them. Instead of dealing with them tactfully, it is better to accumulate them. For several years, one battle will determine the outcome of life and death, and uproot it."

In the following, Ingwill fully elaborates on the mercenary bounty system in the first meeting. On the one hand, it is to delay time to prevent the turmoil in North Gemeir from hindering the construction of the military town in Nangemeir. On the other hand, it is to fully Use these cheap mercenaries who want money but not their lives to explore the way forward and make preliminary intelligence preparations for the subsequent large-scale northward march.

As for the snake god and the snake god worshiping religion that have been entrenched in North Gemir for hundreds of years, Ingwill's view can be summed up in four words - kill them all.

Lucia couldn't help but glance at Larcade not far away. The ruler of Gmel in the original timeline was standing on the highest point of the magic sailboat, stretching into the wind. After finding three maids to sleep with him last night, The slightly sore waist shows no trace of the demeanor of the future "Snake King" who will sacrifice his heart and soul with his family.

In his opinion, the biggest mistake of Larcade, who was regarded as a tycoon in that timeline, was to choose to cooperate with the Volcano Orochi. After a deal with ulterior motives, no one could tell what the identity of Larcade and Orochi was. Who swallowed whom, but what was left was just a monster with only the power of a demigod and a big snake, but lost the ambition to be an overlord, and was only full of greed and violence.

In Yingweir's strategy, neither the big snake, which is suspected to be the local god of the border area, nor the divine religion and countless crazy believers under his command, can find even an inch of shelter under the system of the Ancient Dragon Dynasty. Only a thorough enough killing can wash away the poison that has accumulated in the depths of Gemir for many years.

Of course, Lacard's choice of appeasement policy and compromise with the Orochi was not because his uncle was really stupid, but because he underestimated the pollution caused by the Orochi and lacked the means to eradicate the snake god system.

In terms of dangerous terrain and harsh climate, the North Gmir region is even worse than the Far North Icefield. Even the troops of the future "Blessing King" Menggert could only linger on the volcano after spending several years. On the periphery, until the era of the Faded Ones, they could not get even half a step closer to the volcano's official residence.

According to Lucia's understanding, Rakad was serving as the judicial officer of the Golden Dynasty at the time. He should have stayed in the royal capital most of the time before the Night of the Black Knife, and truly established his own elite force of the direct line - Gemei on a large scale. The Knights of Er probably came later.

If Rakad was helpless against the big snake back then, then Karen's current strength is not even enough to completely wipe out Beigemir.

Therefore, Yingweir proposed that after the first two resolutions were implemented, he would massively gather troops in the military town of Nangemir to prepare for war, and establish an army based on hybrid warriors and mountain monsters, combined with human light infantry, strong crossbowmen, and magicians. , ancient dragon knights, storm knights and perfumers, plus a few elite troops of mid-level dragon warriors.

The most important part of this force is to abandon the traditional war horse mounts and instead spend several years cultivating the wargs commonly used by the Nangmir tribe, which are used to break through the steep mountain roads of Nangmir.

Lucia thought for a moment, walked into the room and with a stroke of a pen, indicated that the first two discussions could be carried out according to Ingwill's proposal. As for the third item, he temporarily put down his quill, locked the half-written reply in the drawer, and went out. Go find Lani.

Now he can mobilize more power than the Gulong Dynasty. Maybe there is a better solution to this matter.
