North of the Highlands, ice city.
The storm horn looks like a huge horn on the map, bordering both the highlands and the northern border of the windfly plain.
Of course, because of the terrain and climate, the Storm Warriors are more willing to go south every winter to plunder the wealth and women in the north of the highlands.
As the largest castle in the north, the ice city is responsible for guarding the whole northern territory.
But now, the thick gate of the castle was opened from the inside. Many Storm Warriors, who were dressed in winter wolf fur, had many strange decorations on their bodies, wore helmets made of wolf's scalp, and looked like werewolves, were full of ice city, witnessing a canonization ceremony.
"I... Veron Wellington! I hereby swear that I will become the count of hanbingbao and make an alliance with the donglang tribe! "
Veron Wellington left a head in the castle. Under the pale hair of his opponent, there were a pair of eyes that couldn't close their eyes.
This is the head of the last Earl of iceberg. Because he didn't obey the orders from his family, Veron led him into the storm warrior and killed him directly.
As for his castle, wealth, and even his wife, they were naturally accepted by Veron.
Even if the Duke of Wellington had died, he would not have imagined that the candidate he sent would be such a poisonous snake!
After forcing the small lords and knights to pledge allegiance, Veron finally returns to the castle with pride.
"More... More meat, more wine! Ha ha... "
But all this joy disappeared immediately after entering the hall.
Veron looked grimly at a savage sitting in his seat.
The other side was tall, with a rough face, and his whiskers were like steel. At this time, he was tearing a huge hind leg of a sheep impolitely, and the bones thrown out were all over the ground, which attracted a lot of hounds.
"Chief Carter Ben Maktoum moldler!"
Veron frowned and called out the name of the biggest tribal chief in the storm corner: "you promised me that everything in ice city belongs to me!"
"Of course, my friend!"
Chief Carter carelessly threw away the flesh and bones in his hands: "the stone city is yours, but the women, wealth, salt and food are all mine!"
As soon as the words were uttered, the new Earl's face darkened【 Zero ↑ nine △ small ↓ say △ net]
But he looked at the many wolf clad and covetous Storm Warriors nearby, but he did not dare to do anything.
These tempest warriors are special products from tempest corner. It is said that at their rite of passage, everyone must fight a giant adult winter wolf with bare hands and use its fur to make armor for himself, or he will die under the wolf's kiss.
Under the cruel training and amazing elimination rate, it is their terrible fighting capacity and beast like will.
They are brave and fearless. Only at the end of the storm corner can the endless and boundless world storm destroy them. This is the origin of their name "storm warrior".
Don't say that Veron didn't have many private soldiers. Even if he brought his family leaders, he didn't have the slightest confidence to fight against the donglang tribe.
"OK..."
He forced a smile: "the great chief Carter, when are you going to go south and rob your lamb?"
"When the ironclad men come!"
Chief Carter laughs, with the shrewdness completely opposite to his face and figure: "cold weather is our best helper. Those snowstorms will make the armored men dull, and their weapons will hurt them!"
……
"My king
"I have good news and bad news. Would you like to hear that?" she said
"Don't play such a little trick!"
Wu Ming looked at his mother-in-law in name, but actually she looked similar to his sister: "the worst news is that the tribal chiefs in storm corner are going south in a large scale, or the pirates under the command of feicui harbor invade Fengying plain. Only these two can barely move me!"
"It's impossible. The merchants of feicui port can't have such courage. Their ships can only travel on the water, but they can't set foot on the mainland! And with the narrow terrain and climate of our plain in contact with the corner of the storm, those barbarians in the north are afraid that they will get sick soon after they go deep. "
Emma Reese confidently said: "it's the northern highland. The winter wolf tribe has gone south. Carter, the chief of this tribe, has more than 2000 Storm Warriors under his command. He has joined with Veron Wellington and promoted him to the Earl of ice berg."
"Why?"
Wu Ming instantly recalled the location of the ice castle and its important position: "chief Carter is a smart guy! How can other Wellington people stand it if they just do that? "
"That's the good news I'm going to tell you."
With a smile on her face, Emmanuel said, "when Viscount Garcia visited Arthur and I told him the news, the man finally gave in. He was willing to swear allegiance to you, never betray you, and accept the other branches of Wellington for you to attack Veron Wellington!"
"Yes!"
Wu Ming pondered for a while and immediately agreed.
Arthur Wellington, the real king of the sword in the stone, has long been an opponent.
After conquering most of the Highlands, the power of all the people in his body was surging and worshiping. The analysis of the sword in the stone was rapid, and even soon exceeded Arthur's authority. Even if the sword in the stone was placed in front of him, he could not use it.
Moreover, this kind of son of the world, with grand spirit, in Western words, comes to the world with the power of destiny, and has a special mission!
In the past, Wu Ming must have killed him directly and made a simple and rude income.
But now, it can be a long way, will Arthur income under his command, let him beat to death, slowly exploit his surplus value.
"I'll give him the name of a viscount and a general first, and let Arthur take over the rest of Wellington's side branches. After the integration of the army, he will go north immediately to attack Veron Wellington and chief Carter."
"When he has done all this and offered me the high ground, I will also fulfill my promise to make him my Marquis of Wellington and to appoint him to guard the western part of the kingdom!"
Obviously, this promise is the carrot in front of the donkey, which will force Arthur to fight for Wu Ming.
Wu Ming, on the other hand, is enjoying his success, constantly destroying his part of his fortune, which is regarded as an advanced form of plundering the world. In terms of income, I'm afraid it's no less than killing directly, and it's better than concealment and security.
……
As time goes by, months pass in a flash.
December, the first year of the new calendar.
As the snow fell, the cloud of war that had been shrouded in the Highlands finally dispersed a little.
During the past few months, Wu Ming stayed in Shixin city to make his soldiers fully cultivated, while Arthur fought for him. With the prestige of the Blue Dragon Alliance and in the name of the orthodox successor of the Wellington family, several branches of the family were soon convinced by him to take him as the next patriarch. After receiving these supports, he quickly pulled up an army of thousands of people, The strength has surpassed the family's Viscount Garcia.
It has to be said that Garcia will lose to Arthur in terms of personal bravery, stratagem and even personality charm.
At this point, the whole highland, except for the Northern Territory, had completely submitted to the blue dragon flag. The nobles, big and small, went to lion heart city to offer their vows and loyalty to their new king, William Wallace.
At this time, Arthur also led the army to the northern ice city.
The mob formed by Veron Wellington in a hurry was not Arthur's opponent at all. He fought bravely. Every time he charged, he was in the front. The morale of the team was high. Soon Veron's army was defeated, and the front was under the ice city.
Until chief Carter of the winter wolf tribe stepped in.
Facts have proved that the storm warrior's reputation on the mainland is not a false name.
The winter wolf tribe just sent a thousand warriors to help. Arthur's army suffered a big defeat and had to retreat back to lion heart city. At the same time, an emissary from the winter wolf tribe arrived in the city almost at the same time as Arthur.
"Carter said that if you recognize his name as the king of storms, and give the winter wolf tribe 100000 kindrons a year, or the equivalent of food, cloth, salt and other goods, you will gain his friendship, and he will also recognize your status as the conqueror of the king!"
In the hall of lion heart city, the fireplace is burning, and waves of heat are coming. Many nobles are standing on both sides. Looking at the storm warrior in the middle, they are shaking.
It's not that I feel cold, it's just that I'm scared.
After a short time together, they almost knew the character of the conqueror.
He is strong and arrogant, and will not compromise at all, especially for this threat.
"Mutual recognition of the throne?"
Wu Ming just wanted to laugh.
If there are some reasons and grounds for this, the remaining annual extortion of gifts can hardly be tolerated.
It's clear that Carter didn't lose the battle, but he had to pay compensation every year. What does Carter think he is, the fat sheep he raised?
"I rule Fengying and highland. I have 100000 troops and thousands of knights under my command. What does Carter have and want to make an alliance with me?"
He asked directly.
The storm warrior raised his head with pride: "we Storm Warriors, each of whom can defeat ten equal soldiers. Our chief has 5000 Storm Warriors, and he will give you war!"
"If there were so many warriors in the winter wolf tribe, Carter would have unified the whole storm corner!"
Wu Ming turned a white eye. It seems that military exaggeration and intimidation, any force is self-taught.
He stood up and said in a solemn voice, "go back and tell your chief that since he wants war, I will give him a humiliating defeat!"
