Chapter 53 Snow Dragon Fortress
"What do I see? I see with my eyes!" Levi couldn't help but feel a stab in his heart, "No wonder this forty-year-old uncle wants to be my elder brother. He is waiting here!"
"Although it is cheap, Senior Sister. She is delicate and cute, but her figure is comparable to bean sprouts. I, Mr. Li Wei, don’t like white and thin bodies, and young women and queens are just about the same.
Besides, am I, Mr. Li Wei, the kind of person who eats soft rice? I have been reborn as a master. , who would go to someone else’s house to be a son-in-law? Wouldn’t it be nice to be a local emperor in his own territory? In
Monterey Castle, you don’t have to look at people’s faces, you don’t have to work for others, and you have beautiful maids to serve you. It’s a beautiful life
to be married ! Senior sister, what do I want? A holy father-in-law who can kill me with one punch? A powerful wife? A rich family fortune of the Yashan family?
~~ It doesn’t seem impossible.
Alas, I’ll consider this again in a few years. Let's do it."
In just a few seconds, Levi's thoughts turned around, and he decided not to answer the cheap brother's words for the time being.
"Haha, Brother Hopkins, I don't think there's any rush on this matter. After all, the Marquis is a strong man in the Holy Realm and has a long lifespan. There's no rush to consider this kind of thing." "
Haha, that's right." Viscount Omei looked at him. Li Wei, a little trickster, couldn't catch it, so he could only give up temporarily.
Viscount Ome also had his own little plan in mind.
Among the many children and heirs of the Marquis of Ashan, Hopkins Ome's wife, the third daughter of the Marquis of Ashan, has the closest relationship with Flora. Moreover, Flora took good care of the nephews of Viscount Ome's family. Of course, Viscount Ome hoped that Flora would be promoted.
And in terms of personal strength, Flora has the best development prospects, and is several levels ahead of the other brothers. Personal force is always a plus point for title succession.
Although the Marquis of Ashan is in his prime, there is no need to worry about the personal strength of the heir for the time being, but the probability of Flora becoming the next generation of Marquis of Ashan is really not low in the future.
The only thing to worry about is that Flora is also a partial student. Although she is quite talented in the fields of wizards and alchemy, she has obvious shortcomings in territorial management and military strategy. These two are essential qualities for a lord!
Now a country baron Levi from Green County suddenly broke into Viscount Ome's sight.
Not to mention that Levi rescued Flora and was later accepted as a student by Master Yelena. He and Flora had a friendship, and the foundation of their relationship was already extraordinary.
In terms of personal talents, Viscount Ome is very optimistic about Li Wei.
First of all, this Baron of Monterey is no worse than the young Marquis of Ashan in terms of military strategy, or even better.
He was less than nineteen years old, and this kind of extremely exaggerated strength comparison, where the weak defeated the strong, had happened to him twice! Especially the last monstrous flood still remains fresh in Viscount Ome's memory.
In addition, although the level of Baron Monterey's political affairs is not very clear, Viscount Ome believes that Li Wei's political affairs should not be too bad.
After all, being able to pull out such a well-equipped and large-number cavalry from two remote baronies speaks volumes.
Business ability is an important indicator to measure whether a lord is good enough. He, Viscount Ome, was chosen by the Marquis of Ashan as his son-in-law because he was good at managing influence.
It can be said that Viscount Ome's new cheap brother Levi can perfectly make up for Flora's shortcomings. If they can really be brought together, then Viscount Aume will definitely benefit a lot!
Looking at Li Wei's ambiguous attitude, Viscount Ome also knew that this matter could not be rushed. Fortunately, Flora and Li Wei were both still young and had a long time to come. He was determined to be Li Wei's brother-in-law!
So in the next few days, Viscount Omei stopped mentioning this matter. When chatting, he only talked about some so-called secrets and gossip, and sometimes helped Li Wei sort through the Ashan family's relationship network.
—————————
Five days later, in Yorkshire. Towards evening, a huge city broke into Li Wei's sight. Li Wei and his party finally arrived at the destination of their trip - Snow Dragon Fortress.
The Snow Dragon Fortress was built on a three-kilometer-wide pass. The fortress was surrounded by the vast Snow Dragon Ridge, and one hundred kilometers behind the fortress was the fertile and flat York Plain.
If Yorkshire is the core of the five new counties in the northern border of the kingdom, its survival is related to the safety of the northern border. Then Snow Dragon Fortress is the absolute core of Yorkshire and the iron wall that protects Yorkshire.
Therefore, the scale, importance, and garrison strength of Snow Dragon Fortress are all the highest in the north.
It was the first time for Levi to see such a huge city since time travel, and he couldn't help but look at it carefully.
Its walls are made of huge obsidian blocks, each shimmering with a cold light. The city wall is tens of meters high and covered with various witchcraft runes. These runes shine in the afterglow of the setting sun, like stars falling on the ground.
There are many flags on the city wall, and groups of uniformed soldiers patrolling in neat uniforms. Various city defense weapons flashed with a fascinating cold light.
And this is just the back side of Snow Dragon Fortress. Levi could no longer fathom the tightness of its frontal defense.
After confirming their identities, the private troops of Li Wei, Viscount Ome, and Viscount Verin camped on the spot outside the city. A few of them entered the fortress with only a small number of personal guards.
Looking at the constant flow of logistics transport convoys in and out of the fortress, Levi couldn't help but ask: "How many troops are gathered here in Green County? The size of this logistics team is too terrifying!" "
I don't know either," Viscount Ogilvy shrugged. He shrugged and continued: "I heard that there were no less than 50,000 combat troops mobilized from various places for support. Including the original defenders of Snow Dragon Fortress, it is estimated that there are almost 100,000 combat troops.
In addition, the requisitioned civilians The number of coolies will only be much greater than the combat troops. Hundreds of thousands of people will eat horses and chew them. This is not a small number!"
"Is it so many?" Li Wei even stated the importance of logistics to the war. In his own words, two hundred cavalry A large number of camels were equipped to carry dry food.
In a large-scale war like this, the logistics pressure of hundreds of thousands of people is very high. Once the logistics collapses, the war situation will also collapse.
Although the Hisoka plane is a plane with a very brilliant extraordinary civilization, its social productivity, especially agricultural productivity, is extremely low.
Levi still has fresh memories of the farming ranks in his territory where the throwing-to-collecting ratio was as low as 3:1! The logistical work of these hundreds of thousands of people is a big challenge for the North and even the entire kingdom!
"There will only be more in the future. The old Beast King personally leads the army south, and the front line that has been pushed back is tightened again. The kingdom's second batch of reinforcements is already recruiting and training.
By then, the logistics pressure will be even greater. Now I guess The Marquis is busy saving food and fodder before the follow-up reinforcements arrive."
Hearing this, Li Wei was shaken about the outcome of the war.
Is there any book friend who is good at talking on paper (Manual Funny) who can come up with ideas and crowdfund to write a book (SD Dog Head)? I am afraid that the plot I will come up with in the future is not exciting enough.
