Original Vampire

"Imperial East?"

Colin's brow furrowed even more tightly.

He couldn't understand why he married Vera to a half-elf Prince, but the plot was in the east of the empire.

As a small country sandwiched between the northern and eastern borders of the empire, the semi-elf kingdom has always been swaying from side to side, and both sides are pleased, but in Colin's view, this small country does not seem to be fighting between the two borders. The key is.

Seeing Colin's puzzlement, Prince Ganben smiled and asked: "Your Excellency, you don't understand water wars, right?"

Colin felt uncomfortable.

However, he also has to admit that there is really no experience of water warfare in his predecessor’s memory.

In fact, there is almost no navy in the entire northern territory.

until now, the biggest enemy in the north is the troll empire on the ice sheet.

The cavalry is the best unit to deal with troll.

So, the cavalry in the North has always been the best in the Glorious Empire.

But the navy was really broken.

At this time, I heard troll say that the Duke was plotting to the east, Colin remembered that the north and the east were actually separated by a moat.

The name of this moat is Fury River.

Actually, the military strength of Glorious Empire East, South, West and North is not balanced.

At least, the northern border is obviously stronger than the eastern border.

The reason is also very simple. The Northern Territory has been fighting the troll empire for so many years, while in the Eastern Territory, their old rivals elf clan has long disappeared in Brightmoon Forest.

I don’t know whether it is reclusive or extinct.

But no matter what, the East is different from the North. They don't have any pressure from other races.

Only Ivil on the border of Brightmoon Forest, where the mages may be a bit obtrusive.

But it is just an eye-catcher. The mages cannot organize a large-scale army, and there is not much threat to the east.

As long as the East Territory does not anxiously throw them forbidden spell, the two sides can still live together peacefully and peacefully.

So, there has not been a large-scale war in the East for hundreds of years.

Baptism without blood and fire is impossible to forge the real Masters of Tigers and Wolves.

Therefore, the military strength of the East Territory, which has been flat for a long time, is basically the bottom of the Glorious Empire.

Fortunately, the Northern Territory has to deal with the threat of troll all the time. The main forces are basically deployed on the Northern Defense Line, so naturally it will not put too much pressure on the Eastern Territory.

Even Fury River has always been in the hands of the East.

And now, if Duke Saint Hild is indeed trying to encroach on the east, as Prince Ganben said, then Fury River, the sky moat, has become the biggest obstacle to the army in the north.

"Yes, I don't understand water warfare." Colin nodded admitted, "Then you are talking about the relationship between half-elf kingdom and water warfare? I remember that the upper reaches of Fury River are not in half-elf. Within the kingdom."

"Yes, Fury River is indeed not in the half-elf kingdom. But your Excellency, do you know the first element of water warfare?"

Colin Touched his chin and searched for all the battles in the memory about water warfare. After a while, he said in an uncertain tone: "Is it a ship?"

"Yes! But ordinary boats obviously can't afford the army. The task of crossing the river, so, to be more precise, what Duke Saint Hild needs is a strong water force."

Colin looking thoughtful: "Is there a strong navy in the half-elf king? "

The prince Ganben laughed, with a little disdain on his face: "The half-elf kingdom does have a navy army, but based on that navy army, it is estimated that one face will be wiped out by the east navy army."

p>

Colin doesn’t understand even more now: "Then why do you say that the half-elf kingdom is the key to marching into the East?"

Prince Ganben picked up a branch on the ground and drew a A simple map, and explained:

"This is the Fury River, with a total length of more than 7,000 kilometers. It seems that the Northern Army can cross the river at any point. But in fact, this is impossible.

p>

The reason is what we just said-the ship!

The northern army must build ships while crossing the river, but the eastern navy is not stupid. It is impossible to watch the northern ship build ships on the west bank of the Fury River. No matter.

At this time, the Fury River is under the control of the East, so the North cannot directly build ships in the Fury River.

So, the only one of Duke Saint Hild The choice is to find a river in the northern border to build a navy.

However, this river is not chosen randomly.

After all, it is impossible to let the soldiers carry the boat. Walk from the land to the Fury River.

So, this river must be connected to the Fury River!

At this time, you will find out if you look through the map of the northern border carefully. The rivers are not to be found in the north, but they are too shallow and narrow to allow big boats to pass.

However, in the upper reaches of Fury River, there is such a river that meets the conditions—— Crystal River.

And this crystal river—"

Prince Ganben made a circle on the ground with a branch , And emphasized again, said solemnly: "It's in the half-elf kingdom! "

When I heard this, Colin suddenly realized.

This is the same as the ancient Chinese northern regimes crossing the river.

Colin originally read history books. At that time, there were some doubts, the Yangtze River is so long, where can’t you cross the river?

Why does the northern regime smash at those points every time?

Just like the Mongolian horse riding southward At that time, why did you have to attack Xiangyang?

If you look through the map of China, you will find that Xiangyang is not on the edge of the Yangtze River at all.

However, there is another river beside it— —Han River.

So, as long as you occupy Xiangyang, you will also control the Han River.

The Mongols can build ships in the Han River and then enter the Yangtze River downstream.

This is the reason why the northern regime cannot bypass this place every time the northern regime goes south.

There are similar rivers and lakes in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River-Chaohu Lake.

Next to Chaohu Lake It was Hefei.

So, when Zhang Liao was guarding Hefei, Sun Quan had trouble sleeping and eating, and repeatedly sent troops to attack, and finally played the prestigious name of "Sun Shiwan"...

In short, Only then did Colin understand Duke Saint Hild’s true intentions.

He married Vera to the semi-elf kingdom, hoping to take this opportunity to control the Crystal River, so as to build a water army, and then down the river. Enter the Fury River and invade the east.

However, why is Duke Saint Hild so anxious to plot the east?

Especially when there are huge hidden worries in the north. .

Is the Duke just so sure that his younger brother will not betray?

This question Colin can only temporarily hold in his heart.

He then I was puzzled again, why did this guy Ganben explain this to himself?

Is it just trying to show off his knowledge?

Although I get along these days, Colin also found that the Prince of Troll is a favorite Show off guy, but he always feels that the other party should have other intentions this time.

"Why are you explaining this to me? "Colin asked directly.

Prince Ganben laughed: "Because I want you to know that the Duke did not marry me, not because I am inferior to the half-elf Little White face, but because of the half-elf kingdom This is the next strategic goal of the Northern Territory. "

Colin hehe smiled.

Of course I didn’t believe this kind of nonsense.

How could a political creature like Ganben care about such a face, for this little thing? Explain to Colin specifically?

Before Colin could continue taunting, Prince Ganben took out a badge and handed it to Colin:

"If you need any help in Silver Moon City, you can Take this to the slave market in the Western District to find a businessman named Sith.

Maybe he can make your trip to the semi-elf kingdom smoother! "

Colin took the badge, and at the same time was convinced--

This prince of troll really has another picture!
