If you want to borrow human power, you must notify them in advance. Their ability to mobilize and integrate troops is quite poor. However, there are problems in human society that Snorri does not intend to solve and has no way to solve.
Judging from his previous life experience, the centralized system must have advantages over the feudal system in developing productivity and combat effectiveness, but this is the rule set by Sigma and Gilles when he founded the country. How can a foreigner say that Gossip.
Reuben, the elder sage of the Horn Castle, is famous in the mountains for his wisdom. His diary was compiled and published, and became the best-selling material for people to understand the great war in the future. The following are relevant excerpts.
In August 6973, there was a major earthquake in the southeast. According to reports from various fortresses, the epicenter may be deep in the withered swamp. The mice are in trouble. It’s worth drinking two more drinks tonight!
On the first day of the year 6974, the great demigod Snorri received the order from the ancestor gods during a sacrifice and immediately electrified the mountains. He will obey the oracle and personally lead the troops to recover the Eight Peaks Mountain exactly one year later!
When he passed through the southern land, I expected that the Northern Expedition would be a matter of time, and now it has indeed come true. Some of those guys who bet with me lost! Let's celebrate today and hold a meeting immediately tomorrow. Karak-Hearn cannot lag behind other fortresses in such a grand event.
On 6974.1.2, all the clan leaders and guild presidents showed unparalleled enthusiasm. The gods descended on the demigods to lead the army. The ancient hatred was settled. It was inevitable that the lost fortress and its treasures would return to the arms of the sons of the mountains.
Arik wanted to conquer it himself, but this might not be appropriate. The Andegrand clan was not that incompetent according to rumors. The danger at the foot of the Eight Peaks Mountain might not be worth it to the ancestors, but he could not be careless. I have to go find my sister-in-law and work with her to persuade Arik!
On January 7, 6974, His Majesty Snorri sent detailed recruitment rules to various fortresses. With the foundation of previous expeditions to the Southland, his staff were very efficient.
This thing highlights two of his personal characteristics - generosity and prudence. One of them is rare among the sons of the mountains. And the fact that he still retains them today as a demigod may also be valued by the ancestors and gods. A big reason.
This battle only requires professional soldiers, and every applicant must hold a certificate before being hired. This also shows his analysis of the war. Recovering Bafeng Mountain will not be an easy journey of drinking and singing.
On 6974.1.20, we finally persuaded Arik. As a young man, he too wanted to establish meritorious deeds that could be engraved on the rocks and be praised forever, but he ignored his responsibilities as a king.
How much he resembles his father! Nearly a hundred years have passed, and I still often wake up from my dreams by the life-killing spear flying towards me. Damn Green Chaos, the reckoning of hatred in Eight Peaks Mountain is imminent, so what about the things in my Book of Hatred in Horn Castle!
On March 1, 6974, after a long debate and meeting, I finally obtained the command of the coalition forces in the Black Mountains and surrounding settlements. The mustaches only wanted to show off their courage for a moment, but participating in such a war did not depend on whether the hammer wheel was beautiful.
Many middle- and upper-class people have opinions on His Majesty Snorri's decision to seek cooperation with humans and promise to share wealth. But how can a mere dead creature be compared with the lives of the people? I believe that after getting to the bad place and understanding the situation, their thoughts will be corrected.
On June 1, 6974, the recruitment of soldiers in each city was going smoothly, very smoothly. With the oracles of the ancestor gods and the personal leadership of the demigods, no matter how pessimistic the tribesmen were, they could not find any reason for possible failure.
Given the threats in the forests of Athel Loren, we must limit the number of people we take. Even if you don't want to, you still have to try to talk to the guy under the Oak of the Times this year, otherwise you have to take the initiative to expand the buffer zone in the winter before the expedition. After all, no matter how smooth it is, you won't be able to return before midsummer of the next year.
6974.7.16, strange, can only be said to be strange, the Bretonnians invited to deliver the message brought back good news, Pointy Ears is willing to maintain temporary peace with us. Well, let their weeds grow as long as they want.
There is news that this strange phenomenon may be related to a green chaos force called the "Orion Arrow Group" at the western foot of the Southern World Edge Mountains. At the meeting, we all maintained a tacit understanding and didn't mention it much. It won't be too late to explore again in the Southland.
6974.9.1, Pointed Ears does not keep their promises like us, the Sons of the Mountains, and there is absolutely no reason to have full faith. Sufficient remaining troops are necessary. Under this premise, I determined the composition of the Black Mountain Coalition.
Hammer Guard 80 people
Iron Breaker Warriors 80 people
160 long-bearded warriors
200 dwarf warriors
100 Thunder Gunners
100 heavy arrow crossbowmen
50 Dwarf Rangers
Eagle Hunter 40 people
30 Iron Dragon Gunners
6 Rune Hate Trebuchets
6 rune ballistae
In addition to half of the guard, Aric entrusted me with the shield inherited from the ancestors of Korgaz and his two shield bearers, authorizing me to command the battle and settle hatred on behalf of the Lord of the Horn Castle.
His Majesty Snorri and the Engineer Guilds of Haimen Pass and Torrent Pass worked together to develop many new products. After years of persuasion, Arik reluctantly agreed to install a small number of them.
This expedition will also be a great opportunity to broaden their horizons. After the clan leaders see the power of the war machine with their own eyes, it should be able to better promote the change of Arik's thinking.
6974.9.10, swear an oath and set off! After offering sacrifices to the gods and ancestors, Arik read out all the stripes about the Eight Peaks Mountain in the Book of Hatred. May the ancestors and gods bless them and cancel them all in triumph!
On September 15, 6974, the team went south through the Border Prince Territory and boarded the warship at Haimen Pass on the west coast of Blackwater Bay. In order to transport troops and supplies, all ships at Haimen Pass were activated. I heard that bandits no longer dare to probe within ten miles of the shore these days!
6974.9.27, rendezvous with the steam sailing fleet of the Principality of Bordero in the Great Styx Delta. In addition to their own people, they transport people from the Gray Mountains, the north of the empire and even Norsca.
6974.10.3, arrived at Kuata Port. When I first decided to visit Southland, I passed by here to pay homage to the ancestral home of Plateau Fort. Now I can no longer find the shadow of that time. It is this speed of development that creates the miraculous Southland.
His Majesty Snorri is currently presiding over the overall situation in Red Cloud Mountain. The Prime Minister of Southland, Bahrain, conveyed his apology for not being able to welcome Kuata in person. This is too polite. The demigods of the mountains should have a pomp and ceremony to match.
Balin is an interesting young man. He has developed a new and effective management strategy. I should communicate with him more when we settle down. The proportion of human residents in the Horn Castle is the highest among the fortresses in the old world.
6974.10.7, after a short rest and waiting for the seasickness symptoms of some tribesmen to subside, we took the train to Hongyun Mountain, the gateway to the Southland and the base camp for preparations for the Northern Expedition.
His Majesty Snorri welcomed us at the station. We entered the fortress through the gate guarded by the Rune Colossus. The journey to regain the Eight Peaks Mountain was about to begin.
