Chapter 590: All chasing profit

"Your Excellency is worried about this, it's too far away." Xiao En laughed haha, "How vast is the East Oding Prairie. We are one in the south and the other in the east. Even if we eat in one direction, we will have to eat for two years. When will our troops meet together, it will not be too late to discuss this issue. After all, the variables are too great. The remnants of the East Odin Empire are not cattle and sheep that are left to be slaughtered. The tiger in Ulaanbaatar is not too late. We won’t let us steal his prey."
"It makes sense." Grand Duke Cedric nodded. "This question will not be discussed until after we meet on the Odin Prairie."
Grand Duke Cedric also knows that plotting on the Odin steppes is not that simple. Those Odin orcs descended upon hearing the wind in front of the West Odin Empire. It was because the two sides were of the same origin, and the East and West Odin Empire were divided. Things at the top have nothing to do with the herdsmen below.
But in the face of the Byrons, they will resist the invaders, without interrupting their backbone, and never want to rule them normally.
"As for the issue of fairness." Xiao En said in a flat tone, "How can there be absolute fairness in the world? What the Grand Duke said just now is not a human factor, but a geographical factor. This is not something you and I can decide. Naturally, we can't let us pay the bill. So, on this, I can’t make any concessions. The only thing I can promise is that you have the first right to purchase military equipment.

"Deal." Grand Duke Cedric said without hesitation.
He has already tasted the sweetness of the new weapons provided by the leader of the eternal night in the war between the broken blood cavalry and the West Odin Empire. They can rely on fifty or six thousand iron cavalry to attack the city in the West Odin Empire and rely on the black powder. Profit.
In the face of this new weapon, the old city wall, which has been in disrepair for a long time, is as soft as tofu, giving the broken blood horse a chance to fight fast.
Otherwise, their achievements on the Miracle Peninsula will be quite limited. At best, they will stray everywhere, destroying the small cities and small towns, and have no power to those large cities.
If you use the old siege mode, let alone the casualties, even if you want to win a city regardless of the cost, it will take a few weeks at the earliest. Some months or a year and a half are quite normal.
This new weapon is not only a siege weapon, but also a defense weapon.
If the Western Odin Empire really took retaliatory military actions, it would have to rely on the benefits of this new weapon.
Although the Fracture Knock Blood Castle has been reversed after the first batch of black powder was obtained, it used to be short of financial resources and did not provide for professionals in this area. Everything started from scratch. Don’t think about it.
Rather than relying on oneself to do this, it is better to place hope in the Lancelot royal family, hoping that they will share technology after a breakthrough.
In a short period of time, this new weapon still needs to be imported from Yongye Army Leader.
"I need one hundred thousand barrels of black powder, and it needs to be shipped before the beginning of spring." Grand Duke Cedric continued.
"One hundred thousand barrels of black powder? Your Excellency is going to use black powder barrels to wash the ground." Xiao En knew that Broken Blood Fort would add orders for black powder, but he didn't expect it to be so huge when he opened his mouth.
The barrel here is not a small barrel of 20 or 30 kilograms thrown by an ordinary trebuchet, but a large barrel for the convenience of transportation and sales. Each barrel has a net weight of 100 kilograms.
Grand Duke Cedric opened his mouth and was an order of 10,000 tons. If all were made into black powder kegs for projectiles, there were enough to have four to five million barrels, and the black powder kegs alone could blow up the of the West Odin Empire.
This is the root reason why Sean and Grand Duke Cedric just discussed, they were more concerned about the issue of sharing of interests, and did not have much concern about the hordes of the West Odin Empire.
The forces gathered by the Western Odin Empire are unprecedented, but the Broken Blood Fort is no longer the former Broken Blood Fort.
Without changing the original war mindset, Ulaanbaaday rashly sent troops to attack the Blood Fortress, only asking for trouble.
Just as Sean speculated, even if there were no small moves from the Yongye army leader, Grand Duke Cedric would find ways to attract the Western Odin Empire to attack. Before the secret of the black powder was not revealed by the Western Odin Empire, he would Its lethality was exerted to the extreme, and the Western Odin Empire was hit hard.
"What? There is a problem?" Grand Duke Cedric asked worriedly.
"There is no problem with production, mainly due to transportation problems. It will take more than a month for the river section in the Andes Mountains to thaw. The demand is too large to guarantee that all will be shipped." Shaun negotiated, "Too nervous before the beginning of spring. If we can postpone the delivery time to one month after the beginning of the spring, it will be foolproof. We can find a way to ship half of it first, there should be no big problem."
"Then it is so decided, 50,000 barrels before the beginning of the spring, 50,000 barrels a month after the beginning of the spring, only allowed to advance, not allowed to postpone!" Cedric decided, "If I arrive on time, I will pay in full. One week later, the price dropped by 20%."
"Deal." Xiao En nodded and agreed without hesitation. He was still confident in Yongye's transportation ability.
"The business is over, let's talk about personal matters." Grand Duke Cedric smiled and said, "When are you going to propose to Little Sophie Liya? Can't let Little Sophie Liya propose to you?"
"This is in preparation." Xiao En promised, patting his chest, "This matter was originally planned, but it was delayed due to an emergency. I will definitely give Princess Sophielia an unprecedented wedding."
"You better hurry up." Grand Duke Cedric put pressure on Sean, "Now all the outstanding young people of the Byron League are staring at this matter, there will definitely be countless challengers."
"Then beat all the challengers." Sean was confident.
"It's best if you have confidence." Grand Duke Cedric laughed.
Marrying the regent princess Sophie Liya will encounter obstacles, and Sean is mentally prepared for this.
After all, he was also from Andis. Earlier he sought a baron in the Byron Alliance, which prevented him from marrying the princess of Lancelot. Once the news was announced, it would inevitably cause an uproar.
In the past, the Yongye army leaders were barefoot and were not afraid of wearing shoes. They didn't care about the fluctuations in the Politburo of the Byron Alliance. They would at best put a gun on them, and they couldn't really bite them.
However, as the economic entanglement between the Yongye Army leader and the Byron Alliance is getting deeper and deeper, they have to pay attention to the impact of this aspect. After all, the Yongye Army leader has to take money from these noble nobles. If it attracts too many people Resisting them on commodities will further increase the difficulty of their economic invasion and expansion.
This matter still needs to be carefully planned, and it is necessary to find opportunities to show more muscles to the Byron Alliance and the importance of the Evernight Army leader to the Byron Alliance.
At that time, it is the Byron Alliance who needs them to be the leader of the Eternal Night, rather than the Eternal Night of the leader who needs them, and everything will happen naturally.
...
Balsin steppe.
Once rich and beautiful, it was called the paradise of Odin orcs.
This winter was completely reduced to on earth.
The endless Odin orc dome camps stretch for hundreds of kilometers.
Horses, goats, cows, and people roar form a vivid picture of life.
Millions of troops.
It sounds like a simple number, but when it is put together, it is absolutely scary.
Especially when it comes to Odin orcs.
It not only represents millions of Odin orcs, but also millions of horses.
In the vast Odin steppe, you can’t fight without war horses. Even those prisoners of war and slaves can get a scooter, not to mention those elite Odin orc warriors who have two horses or even multiple horses. It is normal, because they are very aware of the importance of war horses, so every time they attack a city, war horses will become one of the most important materials they collect.
With an army of millions of Odin orcs, it is normal to have twice as many horses.
And the number of cattle and sheep must be ten times higher than the base of the force. Only this base number of herds can barely support the food, drink and consumption of this huge army.
Even with such a large herd, the warriors of the West Odin Empire still attack frequently, because if they sit here and stay still, they will sit and eat the mountains and the sky. Not only people have no food, but even the animals have already eaten the land. Clean, including the withered grass under the snow, was also chewed clean by those strong grassland cattle.
If you look down from a high altitude, the huge barracks of the West Odin Empire, like a multi-legged monster, lying twisted and twisted in the core hinterland of the Balsin Prairie.
Every five minutes, there will be an Odin orc cavalry screaming from any part of this monster, or dozens of people, or hundreds of people, or thousands of people, and occasionally thousands of people. , Rumbled into the depths of the Balsin Prairie.
What they are going to know without asking.
There is only one thing they can do here-hunting.
This time they were hunting neither a pack of wolves, nor a herd of yellow sheep, or a herd of bison and horses. These wild creatures have extremely keen sense of smell. They ran clean and slow before the arrival of the Western Odin Empire. , Has been digested clean, and returned to nature.
There is only one target worthy of the West Odin Empire hunting-the tribes of the East Odin Empire that share the same faces and common ancestors with them.
Similarly, every five or six minutes, there will be a cavalry roaring back, some return with a load, some empty-handed, and some even break the army.
The tribes of the East Odin Empire, faced with life and death, will not be caught in their hands. Many brave people and tribes choose to make a fish and die, and many of the West Odin Empire soldiers who come to hunt will break their teeth.
It's just that they can escape once, but they can't escape the second or third time... If they can't wipe out all the hunting soldiers of the Western Odin Empire, it won't take long before they will lead a more powerful encirclement and suppression team. , There is no scum left until they ate them—no scum left in the true sense.
The old, weak, sick and disabled were beheaded on the spot by them as a nourishment for the vegetation of the Balsin steppe in the coming year.
Women, children, and elites who are worthy of use are relegated to slaves, not only serving them, but also satisfying their personal desires.
The same is true for livestock. Those who are expected to survive this winter will rush back to the barracks. Those who are too thin will be slaughtered directly, or stewed and eaten meat, or made into rations and dried meat.
As for the scene of the massacre, it did not affect their appetite in the least.
When there was no fighting, the Odin orcs who still chose to attack were all elites.
The Western Odin Empire has a more primitive military reward system. The more brave fighters and warriors will not only get more trophies, but also rewards. The more strategic materials they gather around them, the herdsmen and herdsmen and warriors who follow him. The more prisoners of war slaves you have, the greater your rights.
At that time, it will be easier to obtain more and greater military merits, obtain more trophies and awards, until they are recognized by their supreme ruler and give him a grassland, and then a naive form of a small tribe of Odin orcs appears.
For Odin orcs, war is a process of power shuffling.
The rotten, old and weak ones were eliminated in the war, or turned into dung, or became a stepping stone for the rise of others.
The brave and powerful, rise in war and become the new warrior and ruler.
Therefore, many Odin orcs are happy to hear the war, because for them, this is a great opportunity to change their lives and situations.
After this war, the West Odin Empire will have a large wave of new middle and low-level chiefs rising, and they belong to the West Odin Empire Ulaanbazh pulled up by one hand, their loyalty will be much higher than the old forces, they will Become the backbone of Ulaanbaaji's ruling empire.
Although Ulaanbaaji launched a full-scale war against the East Odin Empire, there are elements of great success, but it also has its own multi-faceted calculations, whether it is from the perspective of the invasion of the East Odin Empire or the consolidation of its own rule. It has far-reaching significance.
In name, the lion royal court of the Eastern Odin Empire is the orthodox ruler of the Odin orcs and the master of the entire Odin steppe.
Although the tiger royal court of the Western Odin Empire has been dissatisfied with this, it believes that this is purely the personal decision of Queen Miranda, and the lion and tiger have always had the same inheritance rights.
However, the Lion King has ruled the complete Odin Empire for hundreds of years. This is an indisputable fact. The years have helped the Lion King to put this in the hearts of the Odin orcs, just like the Odin the Great. The status of the gods.
Ulan Bari wanted to break this cognition, and wanted to raise the position of the tiger royal court above the lion royal court, and must tear down the lion royal court to pieces and smash them severely. Stepped into the quagmire and told all the Odin orcs that the lion royal court is not enough to protect them, and the powerful tiger royal court is the best choice for the Odin orcs.
In fact, the main purpose of Ulaanbaa’s troop dispatch this time was not to unify the Odin prairie. From the beginning to the end, there was only one goal, which was to completely wipe out the lion royal court.
As long as the Lion King Court is destroyed, he will be completely liberated from the three-legged situation.
Even knowing that there is a risk of being stabbed in the back by the Byron Alliance~EbookFREE.me~ but in the long run, it is definitely worth it.
At that time, not only could it slowly encroach on the East Odin Empire, even if it sent troops to attack the Byron Alliance, no one would hold him back.
Another purpose is to consolidate one's own rule.
Although Ulaanbaaji is well-known, its succession time is too short and too young. The internal forces of the Western Odin Empire are intertwined. Let alone other large and small tribes, let’s just talk about the eight great tribes directly under the Tiger Clan’s royal court. In the core tribe, he can only control three branches, and the remaining five branches are in the hands of the older generation chiefs.
They are self-asserted to the tiger clan royal court and Ulaanbaari. They will not listen to the announcements, but they are also very self-assured. The difficulty of mobilizing them is quite high. In many cases, there is no profit temptation.
These people have been in high positions for many years, and their appetite has long been very greedy. It is too difficult to completely feed them and convince them.
Even Ulaanbaaji, who has a high self-esteem, does not have the confidence to do this. Instead of being angry with them, it is better to use the war to cultivate a new group of forces loyal to them more directly.
