Chapter 1286 The Northern Territory Crisis (1)

Holding the wooden barrel in his hand, Halder's eyes suddenly wrinkled. At that moment, he had a very bad premonition.

The cold wooden barrel seemed to tell him that the situation in the northern border was already very bad.

In any case, the wooden cylinder had to be untied first, Hal had to open the rope tied to the wooden cylinder, took out the letters hidden inside, and after opening the letter to read it, he cursed angrily: "Damn, damn! "At the same time, he rubbed the letter hard and threw it on the ground.

Under his golden mask, no one can see what kind of face it is. I don't know what kind of expression his face will have at this time, but it shouldn't be too uncomfortable to think about it.

Outside the palace, the red-robed believers were still using their bodies as bombs to stop those white-robed believers.

Haer had no intention of staying on the balcony any longer, he left the balcony with his hands and returned to the palace.

At the place where Halde left, one corner of the crumpled letter could still be seen, and the name of the second prince Art was written on the corner.

north.

This is the coldest time of the year.

Outside the house, the heavy snow that fell overnight completely covered this small town in the northern border. The snow was almost below the waistline. Without clearing the snow outside, there was no way for people to move.

The soldiers in the fortress were wearing thin clothes, shouting and clearing the snow in the snow.

Because the weather was so cold, dark purple chilblains had already formed on the hands of these soldiers.

Inside the room, the second prince, Art, was sitting with several generals, discussing what to do next.

"The barbarians from the north came to harass again last night." A general wearing a silver helmet said, holding an iron sword in his hand. The weapons seized by the barbarians, "We lost more than a dozen brothers and wiped out a total of 130 of them. Those barbarians were still the same as before. When fighting, there was nothing to be afraid of. But this weapon made me Feeling a little uneasy."

Another general said: "Isn't it just a long sword, why worry about it?"

The general named Aldrich, wearing a silver helmet, is one of Prince Art's most powerful subordinates. His character has always been cautious, so he often pays attention to some details when fighting. For example, he is holding a the long sword.

"This is a long-handled sword. In previous battles, those wild people in the north have never used such a weapon."

"Maybe it's a new weapon they built."

"Not too possible."

Aldrich put the long sword on the long table of the council, and asked everyone to check the style and material of the long sword together.

"As you have all seen, this is a very standard long sword, and it has a long handle. It is held in both hands. The wide blade has a good chopping ability. It is completely different from the scimitars used by the wild people before."

"More importantly, this sword is made of fine steel, which is completely different from the pig iron weapons of those wildlings before."

After what Aldrich said, other generals also noticed the difference in this long sword. Indeed, as he said, this is not a weapon commonly used by barbarians.

Art held his chin, and said in a deep voice: "The group of barbarians used weapons that are obviously higher than their forging level. What does that mean?"

Aldrich said: "And the design of this sword is different from that of Nile and the barbarians in the north. The one who made this sword should be another country or tribe with advanced smelting technology."

Immediately, other generals raised doubts, "Aldrich, according to what you said, besides those barbarians, are there other countries in the north?"

Aldrich said: "The north is so big, we have never really gone out to see it. It is the border of Nile that traps us here. Maybe there are countries as powerful as Nile in the north of this continent. .”

Art said: "It's not impossible. In fact, I thought about it a long time ago. If I go through this forest where the barbarians live and continue to the north, what kind of scene will I see? There may be powerful people there." countries and city-states."

"But the situation is worse now. A weapon that should not have appeared in the hands of the barbarians has appeared in their hands. That is to say, there is an unknown country in our unknown region that is cooperating with the barbarians. Even if there is no cooperation, at least There was also a trade where they sold weapons to these savages."

Regarding Aldrich's words, the generals present are divided into two factions. One of them thinks what he said is reasonable and should be worried; What country will exist.

"Aldrich is right, this should indeed be taken seriously."

"What? The Great Wall in the North is already the northernmost point of the world. How can there be countries and city-states further north? In my opinion, there is no need to worry too much."

"Then how do you explain the origin of this long sword?"

"Perhaps this group of savages got it by chance. Anyway, it's just a long sword. There's really nothing to worry about."

The generals below have already started arguing over this matter. Both sides of support and opposition are very clear, and everyone is expressing their views.

Aldrich did not participate in this debate, he looked at Art, hoping that Art would make the final decision on this debate.

Art stood up from his seat and said to the generals: "It doesn't matter whether the savages in the north are united with other countries or not, it's the same for us. Our duty is to guard the Great Wall of the North and not let these northerners step on it." into Nile's domain."

"Your Highness is right, don't care what the savages do, we just have to stick to the end and prevent them from crossing the Great Wall."

"That's right, it's not easy to deal with those savages."

Those generals who opposed seemed to have Art's support, and they all stood up to express their opinions.

When everyone's fighting spirit was high, Aldrich said the biggest crisis that the northern border is currently facing, "Our logistics is in a hurry." As soon as he said this, all the generals who had vowed just now turned off their fire. Even Prince Art frowned his two thick eyebrows.

Any general who has led troops knows how important logistics is. So many troops need to eat and keep warm. Without logistical support, it is no exaggeration to say that the northern fortress does not need barbarians to attack, and it will collapse by itself.

"Your Highness, we have sent messengers to Nile eleven times, and we haven't heard back yet."
