I, the prince in distress, send money

Chapter 121 The Price of Climbing

"Huh, we finally took over a town."

Xiaodao sat on a tree stump in front of the Church of the Mother Earth in the town of Duoluo, wearing armor and with his legs apart. He looked careless, not paying attention to details, and unkempt, and did not have the image of a leader.

"Have you asked everyone? How many people from our regiment died in this battle?"

Standing at the side, Barbarossa, who was only wearing a green military coat and a Lei Feng hat but no protective gear, stood with his hands on his hips and replied without turning his head.

"Who the hell knows? Don't ask me. I'm not your adjutant."

"Ah, didn't the internal vote of the chapter come out a few days ago? I remember you got elected..."

"I'm the reconnaissance master. I'm the one who's in charge of walking in the front and dying. Alibaba is the lieutenant of the chapter."

Xiaodao scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"What about Alibaba?"

"I just saw him and the imp heading towards the artisan district."

"What to do?"

"Catch the craftsmen and protect them... Whether they are blacksmiths, leatherworkers, carpenters, or shoemakers, they are all talented people.

What is the most expensive thing in the 25th century? Talent is the most expensive thing.

"Oh."

The battle of Dora Town was a very successful attack for the Mountain Tiger Group. None of the hundreds of players involved suffered any casualties, and they successfully captured this town that was famous for its cheese, cowhide and beef.

The reason why it was so successful was entirely due to the suddenness of the attack and the fact that the town of Dora was completely unprepared.

The militiamen in Doro Town could not be blamed for this, because in the general perception of the people in Doro Town, although the country was in the midst of war, Doro Town should be in the rear, far away from the front line.

This is indeed the case. Even if Bolas Fortress fell, the small town of Doro, located 50 kilometers north of the city of Oncandra, is not the front line.

Any enemy forces coming from the north must first break through five knight castles and more than ten towns before they can capture the town of Dora.

In fact, if you just look at the map, everyone will be surprised to find that the straight-line distance between Dora Town and Bolas Fortress is not far, only 50 kilometers.

However, this fifty kilometers is only the distance on the map. If Bolas were to follow the actual road, he would have to walk at least two hundred and thirty kilometers to get to the town of Doro.

The reason why the map distance and the actual distance are so different is due to the roads within Baghnia.

Bagnia is a mountainous country divided into two halves from north to south by the Kashro Mountains. There are three main roads within its territory.

The first is an ancient passage that starts at the border of the Bohemian Empire, passes through the Helgeland, and then spreads southeast, crossing the tail of the Kásró Mountains.

This winding mountain road, which was built in ancient times and has not yet been completed, takes about half a month to walk to the capital of Bagnia - Votradnoi, a "big city" with a permanent population of 200,000 to 300,000.

Finally, the ancient passage ended at the border of the Kingdom of Miniesia.

The second road starts from Helgeland, passes through the Bolas Fortress, and continues south. It takes fifteen to twenty days to cross half of Bagnia and bypass the Kaslo Mountains before reaching Oncandra. Then go down a little and reach the border of the Reteria Empire, which is the end of this road.

On this "Hegland-to-Ancandela" road, there is no branch road leading to the town of Doro.

Therefore, if you want to reach Doro from Bolas, you must first go to Oncandra, and then turn to the small town of Doro on the edge of the Kaslo Mountains. The third road is "Watradnoi-to-Oncandra."

Therefore, it is incredible to attack the town of Doro directly from the Bolas Fortress because the Kaslo Mountains lie between them.

As for how high the Kashro Mountains are... you can refer to the Himalayas on Earth. The former should be two-thirds the length and one-half the width of the latter, and the average altitude may be more than four thousand meters.

Chris didn't know the exact data, because no one in this world had ever explored the Kasso Mountains. He could only guess at this magnificent mountain range that separated the Bohemian Empire and the Miniesian Kingdom and divided the Bagnian Kingdom into two.

In terms of the situation, it can also be said that the Restoration Army occupied the northwest side of the Carlos Mountains, while the Republic was active in the southeast area of ​​the Carlos Mountains.

Among them, the most prosperous area in Bagnia is located in the southeast of the Carlos Mountains. The northwest area has fewer people and is more barren.

Xiaodao learned the above information from the Minissian officer. Looking at the map, he made a decision on the spur of the moment.

"Don't worry about the northwest for now. It's a poor area with no money, no food, and no people."

"Then how to fight?"

"Cross the Kalos Mountains and charge forward to fight!"

This decision sounds like a plan made by a madman after drinking and slapping his thigh.

This is something that is theoretically impossible, even players cannot climb across the Kashro Mountains.

Fortunately, Xiaodao is crazy, but that doesn't mean he has no brains. He is not going to take the players to climb the highest middle section of the Kashro Mountains. He wants to cross the low tail of the Kashro Mountains, which is about two thousand kilometers above sea level and forty kilometers wide.

Even so, in the current era of underdeveloped productivity and scarce conditions, this is still no different from suicide.

In order to complete this challenge, Xiaodao made a lot of preparations. In addition to supplies, he also went to find Prince Chris and asked him for guide support...that is, Mia's help.

Ordinary people may think that Mia is an ordinary person, but players are very keen to notice the specialness of Mia and the big white pig from her daily life.

Chris did not give a direct response to the Tiger Regiment's application. Instead, he wrote a line on the application document and then stepped back.

+Go and ask Mia and Aisha for their opinions. +
Then Xiaodao went to find Mia and discussed with her for more than an hour. After trading a bag of candy and some other conditions, the latter agreed to be a guide with Aisha.

It took three days to cross the Kashro Mountains. Before the departure, there were about two hundred people including the Mountain Crossing Tigers and other individual players.

Then in the process of climbing and descending the mountain, there were more than a hundred players who froze to death, fell to death, suffocated to death in the snow, died of altitude sickness and acute mountain sickness due to climbing too high too quickly, and died of exhaustion.

Half of the two hundred people died during the climb before setting out. Xiaodao didn't know where they were going to attack before setting out because he was not sure whether he and the others could cross the Kashro Mountains.

Xiaodao’s idea was to give it a try. If it didn’t work, he would just treat it as going up the mountain for fun. If it succeeded, it would be great.

The cost of climbing the mountain is not small. Apart from the players, almost no other team can afford such non-combat losses.

But because of this, the player's attack was so successful that before the attack began, the town of Duoluo was still in a low-security state in peacetime.

Due to its remote location, the town of Duoluo has never experienced bandit attacks over the years. The more than 30 militiamen stationed in the town were hired from outside by the congressman to suppress the cattle herders who resisted taxation.

Due to various reasons, the Tiger Regiment's operation was successful.
