On the west coast of the mainland, residents basically live in fishing ports and villages, with only a few larger towns. Duanbing Port is the largest city on the west coast. It is located 10 miles north of the Sanggan River and is connected to the main direct roads of the mainland highway.
.
The Sanggan River is the river with the largest flow on the Eminol continent. It originates from the northern foot of the Holy Snow Mountain and flows northward. After collecting a large amount of rainwater from the subtropical rainforest in the boundary forest, it takes its way westward and enters the Messis Snow Mountain.
In the basin, all glacial rivers originating from the Messis Snow Mountains converge into the Sanggan River and finally rush into the sea.
Compared with other major rivers on the mainland, the water temperature of the Sanggan River is the lowest and the terrain it flows through is the most complex. Therefore, the water of the Sanggan River carries a large amount of minerals and meets the seawater at the mouth of the sea, attracting a large number of red salmon here.
Forage for food, and the delicious taste of salmon roe is unforgettable for everyone who has tasted it.
Every autumn, during the salmon season, there is often a magnificent scene of thousands of sails sailing off the Sanggan River. The belly of the caught female salmon is immediately cut open, and the red soybean-sized salmon roe immediately overflows.
There are ice floes floating outside Duanbing Port all year round - ice cubes broken off from the Ice and Snow Continent and Messis Snow Mountain. Fishermen use these ice cubes to keep fish roe fresh and transport it to Duanbing Port in the shortest time.
Merchants from various countries on the mainland purchased it and shipped it to various parts of the mainland. Merchants on the mainland called this city and Ulu Village (called) in the hinterland of the mainland as two major cornucopias. The nickname of Duanbing City is the cornucopia of red fish roe.
This seaport city has never been officially handed over to any mercenary group for garrison and management by the empire in history - there are many cities in the empire with an annual tax revenue of more than 300,000 yuan.
"Famous Cities in the World"※※※
On March 12, winter of the fifth year of the magic calendar, the imperial mercenary cadre training officially came to an end.
In the past month, intelligence obtained from various sources revealed that the three-party seven-nation showdown on the Eminor continent has entered a stable period. Although the Holy Desert Empire has entered a state of war, the two invading enemy forces seem to have turned around.
It has entered a defensive state and has not conducted any attacks in more than a month.
The Imperial Military Department, represented by Duke Chi, submitted a report to the Council Hall: Military representatives believe that the enemies of the two forces come from the tropics, and the areas where they have launched attacks on the mainland are also in the tropics. In the past,
Going north is the temperate zone covered with ice and snow. The enemies from different continents seem to be waiting for the spring when the ice and snow melt. If nothing goes wrong, after February in spring, enemies from two different continents will attack from three directions on both continents.
Launch new attacks in three countries.
In this report, the following points were also highlighted: 1. In previous reports, it was believed that the two enemy armies are fighting across continents, and long supply lines will inevitably lead to a decrease in the opponent's combat effectiveness. In order to obtain greater supplies
, the enemy will resort to war to support war and plunder on the Eminor Continent. But from the actual situation, whether it is the enemy of the Fanos Continent or the more evil Alcatraz Island enemy, they will treat the residents of the Eminor Continent equally.
Friendly, if the local nobles are willing to cooperate, they will fully protect the interests of the nobles and use the nobles to maintain local order; if the local nobles do not cooperate or have simply fled, the noble properties will be distributed to other prestigious local residents to form new nobles.
Benefits. This can be seen from the fact that the Human Knights have been established on the continent of Fanos and the results of its policy have been achieved.
2. The most fundamental purpose of Fanos Continent’s westward advance should be to shift the focus of the battle line. No matter how smoothly the eastern legion of Fanos Continent attacks, even if they occupy all the territory of the Mercenary Empire, their situation will not be very good. Mercenaries
The Bing Empire is surrounded by sea on both sides in the southeast, and in the north is the Magic Forest under the protection of the Elf King. The power of humans and even dragons will be greatly reduced in the Magic Forest. Before this, there has not been any army peacefully or otherwise.
Travel through the Magic Forest; to the west is the Holy Snow Mountain, which is thousands of meters high. Not to mention whether the Holy Snow Mountain can be climbed, more than 90% of the soldiers of Fanos come from the tropics, and the snow mountain is their natural nemesis. In the Magic Forest and
There is only one mainland highway between the realms, and this part is an enclave of the Amy Empire in the Holy Church - Tongyunguan. It is defended by one of the four elites of the empire, and there is no record of it being conquered in history.
Therefore, the Fanos Legion will inevitably open up a new battlefield. To the east of the continent are the Desert Empire and the Holy Holy See. The Desert Empire is definitely not the opponent's primary target of attack. The Holy Holy See was the most likely to be attacked, but this time it was strange to escape.
The greatest possibility is that the enemy hopes to eliminate the effective combat power of the mainland countries. In this regard, the power of the Holy See is really not worth mentioning.
3. The enemies of Alcatraz Island, led by a young man who was reported to be the guardian of God, defeated the organized defense of the Xius Empire in just ten months and captured the capital. To the south is a long coastline that can provide a steady stream of
supply, embraced the natural dangers of the Lion River, and occupied a large area of land on the north bank of the Lion River, strategically being in an extremely favorable position.
4. Looking at it from the past, the war forces of the countries in Eminor Continent are as follows: Amy Empire: Desert Empire: Mercenary Empire: Holy Holy See: Residual forces of the Hughes Empire: Fanos Continent: Alcatraz Island forces = 10:5:
3:1:1:4:5 The Red Stone Emperor basically agreed with the report submitted by the military department, and instructed the military department to quickly implement the large-scale assembly of the empire’s local troops. Local defense and public security were basically handed over to B-level and above servants in the empire.
The corps is in charge, while the swordsman battalions in various places assist the mercenary groups in their work.
The small mercenary group is no exception.
After two months of repairs, the small mercenary group has become one of the largest mercenary groups on the mainland. Long and Mo Ye recruited a total of 900 new ice and snow boys twice in succession in the ice and snow continent. There are quite a few newly joined ice and snow boys.
Some of them are non-Hami residents from the Hami Kingdom. The Hami Kingdom created several towns near the mainland highway with millions of gold coins. After a large number of immigrants entered, they learned the true source of the town construction funds. For the two small mercenary groups,
The founders Amy and Da Qingshan were grateful. Now the population of several small towns has reached 80,000. When Long went here to recruit soldiers, he heard that the small mercenary group was expanding, and almost all the residents wanted to join the mercenary group.
The Corps is progressing quite smoothly.
At the location of the small mercenary group, a lot of people sign up to join every day. There are mainly two types of people who want to join. First, they are small mercenary groups in the empire or low-level mercenaries. Mercenaries are a high-risk and high-return profession.
Career, joining a large-scale mercenary group is the best way for new mercenaries to survive and earn money. Unfortunately, most B-level and above mercenary groups have their own youth mercenary training bases and rarely recruit people from outside.
The opportunity for large-scale expansion of a small mercenary group is too rare; secondly, nobles, and even some big noble family heads come with their children to sign up. Except for the eldest son of the nobles, other children cannot inherit the family business, and the small mercenary 100
% of the imperial knighthood gave these nobles new hope. Chi Aotian and Barbas, who were in charge of the daily affairs of the mercenary group, selected 200 new mercenaries from thousands of applicants according to strict requirements, and
About 40% of them are children of the nobility. These children of the nobility have been trained according to the standards of knights since childhood, and most of them already have the official knight title of the empire. After consultation between Chi Aotian and Amy, following the Crazy Eagle Swordsman Camp, the small
The mercenary group established a second knight force.
On March 15th in winter, the small mercenary group and the large army set off to leave the imperial capital for Duanbing Port.
The first to set off were the two Crazy Vulture Swordsmen. At dawn, 10 huge Crazy Vultures spread their wings and rushed into the gray-blue sky. According to the arrangements of the mercenary group, they went to a small town 60 miles away to arrange accommodation for the day -
―Food and accommodation for 1,500 people and their horses is a big problem. If the arrangements are not good, they may end up sleeping on the streets.
At 8:00 in the morning, the first to set off was the blocking swordsman battalion led by Barbas, followed by the great swordsman battalion. In the middle were the teenagers who had just been incorporated into the small mercenary group. Before they had time to divide their belongings, the pressure
Behind them were the Demon Swordsman Battalion, Crazy Eagle Swordsman Battalion, and Archer Battalion led by Daqingshan, Amy, and Horns. Chi Aotian led the Knight Battalion and slowly advanced about 500 meters behind the large group of people. In the sky, there were more than 200 of them.
Young and adult griffons spread their wings and soared. Four of the mad griffon swordsmen monitored the surrounding situation from the front, back, left, and right directions. Every hour, the mad griffin swordsmen in the sky came down to replace other brothers.
The residents of Scambrai often pride themselves on being well-informed. In the past few hundred years, there has been a large-scale military parade every five years. Every 20 years, all major armies in the empire need to go to Scambrai to report their duties.
Related procedures, soldiers coming and going are commonplace. The formation displayed on the day when the small mercenary group set off has become a topic of discussion among the soldiers and civilians of the imperial capital in the next month: No army has so many establishments, and the sky is covered with clouds.
A large raptor covered the sun, an emerald green dragon soared across the sky, and eagle knights took off and landed in the queue from time to time; several different types of troops on the ground passed by one after another, and cavalry squads were patrolling on the periphery.
Seeing the full strength of the small mercenary group for the first time, Amy herself was shocked: "Da Qingshan, do you still remember the scene when we created the mercenary group? Hehe, it was so fun at that time. At that time, every day
As long as we earn 5 silver coins, we will make money. Now, it is a problem for so many people to eat every day."
One sentence brought Daqingshan back to five years ago. The black-haired boy looked up at Lu'er's proud figure in the sky and smiled: "Well, Lu'er was only so big at that time." He gestured as he spoke.
It's less than one meter tall.
Lin Yushang and Sha Ruo were not far behind. Lin Yushang had to follow her this time. The girl had given up on Amy. There was only one reason for joining the small mercenary group. Here she could find very good partners who were about the same age as herself. Listen.
Following the conversation between Amy and Da Qingshan, Lin Yushang said: "If Sha Ruo and I hadn't hired you, how could the small mercenary group be so large now?"
Amy glanced at Ying: "Haha, if I remember correctly, you seemed to still owe us a commission at that time."
"Haha - without our employment, you were able to earn 1 million gold coins in that unprecedented gamble? Moreover, we beat you to win at the time, but we didn't see the winnings later. Isn't that right, Sha?
Ruo. The leader is really ungrateful." Magicians all have very good memories, and Lin Yushang is the best among them.
Maybe the speaker was really unintentional, but the listener was really interested. Amy didn't know what to say because of her ungrateful words, and her face turned slightly red. Although she had never done anything bad, things between men and women couldn't be explained clearly.
Lin Yushang also realized that she had something wrong, so she pulled Sha Ruo away and ran away. A naughty smile appeared on Ying's face, and her crooked smiling eyes revealed a look that wanted you to look good.
Knowing that Ying was deliberately teasing herself, but now, if she explains, the more she explains, the more confused she becomes. Just when Amy didn't know what to do, two huge wild vultures fell from the sky against the wind and waves. A boy and a girl came down at the same time.
Jumped off the gryphon. There are not many girls in the small mercenary group, accounting for about 20% of the total. The girls who can stay are often super strong. The girl rushed to Amy's side like the wind: "Captain,
Soldiers were found in ambush on the left side of the team, and the number does not exceed 200." The boy mercenary then saluted: "Report, there are also people ambushing on the right side of the team. The number does not exceed 300."
Amy, Daqingshan, and Horns looked at each other. Horns waved to the two captains to take off again and continue to be on guard. The Crazy Eagle Swordsman should have sent someone to notify Barbas at the front and Chi Ao at the back.
Tian. The team in front quickly stopped, and Chi Aotian came from behind on a black horse.
Ambush? Are you kidding me? It took less than half a day for the small mercenary group to set off from the imperial capital, and it had been traveling on the mainland highway. Most of the west side of the imperial capital is plain area, and the remnants of the Messis Snow Mountain are still 200 miles to the north.
, there are only occasional small hills no more than 30 meters high. Ambushing and attacking a mercenary group here? This is only 30 miles away from the empire. If you can attack a small mercenary group here, you can go to the imperial capital to attack the royal family.
The area within 100 miles of the imperial capital is an absolutely safe area, and no gang of thieves or robbers will attack caravans here.
In history, there were several gangs of thieves who were bold enough to intercept and kill travelers nearby. As a result, they suddenly broke into a hornet's nest, including the Colorful Dragon Knights, the Praetorian Guards, the Border Guards, the Mercenary Guild, the Thieves Guild, the Magic Guild, and the Imperial Knight School.
The Imperial Magic School and dozens of other guilds and military organizations stationed in the imperial capital suddenly felt that they had lost face. As many as 7 arrest warrants were issued on the same day, and the reward amount exceeded the total value of the robbed goods by more than 20 times. Servants from all over the continent
The soldiers rushed to the imperial capital frantically. In those days, soldiers, mercenaries, knight school students, residents and farmers near the imperial capital armed with simple weapons could be seen at any time within 100 miles of the imperial capital. There were even many armed soldiers.
A 5- or 6-year-old child dragging his nose with bricks.
The outcome for the thieves was tragic in the end. In the face of huge military exploits and bounties, they were swarmed by mercenaries and soldiers (there were actually a few children over 8 years old) who beat them to death and cut them into pieces. Finally, they were killed.
After the people cut their bodies into pieces, they went to various guilds and legions to receive rewards.
From then on, the 100 miles around the imperial capital were classified as an absolutely safe zone for business travelers.
The eyes of several young people were full of doubts. Who could it be? What did it mean? A team of about 400 people attacking a mercenary group of 1,500 people was simply too exaggerated.
After experiencing the tragic fighting on Xilin Island, the main cadres of the small mercenary group became more cautious. Amy asked Horns to stay at the rear of the group to take command, while Chi Aotian returned to the knight camp to prepare for the war. Amy and Daqingshan walked side by side.
Headed towards the blocking swordsman camp.
Various whistles sounded crazily in the Wild Vulture Swordsmen camp. The Wild Vulture Swordsmen were summoning their mounts. The wild eagles flying in the sky folded their wings and fell down. After a few breaths, they took off again and surrounded both sides from the air.
The bow and arrow battalion and the magic swordsman battalion quickly followed up. Under the instructions of the aerial vigilance swordsmen, the bows and arrows quickly pointed at the dense forests on the hills on both sides of the mainland highway. The magic swordsmen had begun to quietly release defensive magic and various magic shields.
It emitted a dazzling light. Then, Chi Aotian called out to Li Long and soared into the sky.
"No matter who you are? No matter what your purpose is? Come out now, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences." Facing the dense forest on the hills on both sides, Amy quietly released a loudspeaker magic and said calmly.
