In the middle of the night, the cool wind mixed with the water vapor from the surface of the lake, like a gentle lover's hand, gently soothes the wounds of the earth

Under his gaze, the calm lake in the distance fluctuated, the ships were frivolous, and the 20 warships from the Imperial Navy docked side by side in the inner bend of the lake, the white sails hanging on the towering masts, like a pile of snowdrifts on the water, and the towering masts were full of lake birds sleeping with their feathers together,

Corresponding to it is the shore tidal flat where the army gathers, the dense military tent torches almost illuminate most of the lake, in the black night, tens of thousands of military tents gathered from several directions, turned into a bright galaxy of miles long and wide, people can't bear to look away, no less than the other three natural rivers that converge here,

Tomorrow, when the sun shoots the first rays of light from the east, Crowrisat's Western Army will take these warships down the river and hand over Aaron to Crowrissat to solve the problem, in fact, it is also considering that the Western Army has just suffered heavy losses, and the whole army is filled with a sense of mourning, once it arrives at Aaron, the 200,000 volunteers who are temporarily forced up in the mouth of the Dorok Council! The fat man believes that in front of the Western Army of Crollissat, which is determined to be a shameful mourning soldier, it is definitely vulnerable, and as for whether Crollissat will be bloodied all the way, the fat man is not in the mood to care.

The folk style of Dorok has always worshiped freedom, and if you really want to hit the knife edge of Croissat, you don't need to stop it, what really worries the fat man is not Aaron's side, but some worries from within the empire, with the end of the September season, the winter footsteps of the Ikadiva continent are gradually approaching, and the wind blowing from the mountain range is already a little cool, and there are also some discordant sounds,

First of all, the Dongting people who returned to the grassland from the cold land of the north, the princess of the Eastern Garden, Rui Tang Tingna, was busy moving her tribe south to a narrow strip of land between the Dorok Mountains and the three northern counties, which was the border between the inland and the grassland! This time, there were 180,000 Dongting people who moved south with Rui Tang Tingna.

The food and clothing of the 180,000 Dongting people and the five border trading cities planned to be built will not cost a small amount of money, according to the estimate submitted by the Ministry of the Interior. At least more than 2 million gold coins are needed, not counting the hundreds of thousands of Dongting people who have not moved south and are still staying on the grassland.

Now on the grassland, it is the season when the eagle flies and the grass grows the most abundantly, and the livestock are prosperous, and the Dongting tribe is not facing much pressure, except for daily expenses. The extra livestock fur can also be exchanged with the mainland for goods in demand, and life is still comfortable, but once the autumn is over, with the cold winter shrouded and the earth snowy, the north of the central continent will fall into the frozen season, and it will be difficult for the grain in the south to flow north.

This is why in the past it was winter. The nomads of the steppes have to run inland to fight the autumn wind. Everyone has no food to eat, and if they stay on the grassland anyway, they will die, so let's go there if they can survive. Or there is still a chance to live, in the heavy wind and snow that swept the grassland, the first to suffer was not those tribes who moved south, but those Dongting people who still stubbornly stayed in the grassland.

There, under the deliberate push of the fat man, there is already an undercurrent surging, swords and swords, and small frictions are constant.

The main force of the royal court moved south, and a large area of fertile grassland was vacated. Just like a fat meat that shakes in front of the clan leaders all day long, so that the remaining clans are extremely greedy, the fat man left a flag regiment in the Dongting grassland, nominally to guard, but in fact to monitor, this is something that everyone knows. Although the army is small, it represents the authority of the Falcon Khan

Now the army is still left, although the grassland is ready to move, but no one has dared to take this step, the original Riyalu people were too arrogant, directly by the Falcon Khan King and the eldest princess to a chicken dog not stayed, that tragic lesson, enough to make most of the Dongting tribes feel palpitations when they think about it, the strength of the Riyalu tribe is definitely on the border

Once winter comes, that's a different story, not only do you need more pastures to read about the brutal winter, but also because the Imperial army in charge of monitoring the steppes will choose to retreat from the steppe border into the warmer interior to rest in the winter.

In the four months of the whole winter, the pasture is like a flock of sheep that has lost its sheepdogs, and the courage of the grassland wolves will naturally be great, even if it really angers the Falcon Khan King, at most it will be spit out in the spring, the weak and the strong, it will always be the only purpose that the grassland people follow, as long as there is a slight opportunity, they will take risks and fight, these tribes who have no response to the southward migration order have been preparing for the winter rush, it is obvious that they have already secretly prepared for the winter rush, it is a battle to divide the new forces of the grassland, who dares to be sloppy, this civil war on the grassland is fought, and the ghost knows how many refugees will pour in

For this situation, the fat man turned off the fire coldly, the civil war in the East Court was inevitable, unless he knocked out the wolf teeth of the people of the East Court as he did with the West Garden, and if there was really a wave of refugees, they would all rush to Rui Tang Tingna, just to strengthen their strength

But this money must be earned back first, only in September, under the instruction of the fat man, the empire sold nearly half of the 200,000 weapons hoarded, that is 80,000 sets of armor and weapons, most of which went to the grassland, the weapon trade is always a hen that lays golden eggs, the Dongting people made a small fortune in the cold land of the north, turned a circle, or fell into the pocket of the fat man, so the fat man doesn't mind how the Dongting people fight the civil war, anyway, the dead are all Dongting people, as long as it does not spread to the inland, you love to bite how to bite！

Some of these weapons sold came from the capture of the Rude War, and some came from Salander, with the recovery of Salander's economy, the skills of Salander people in crafts forging became more and more perfect, that is, some merchants from other continents across the sea would also bring some weapons that looked extremely exquisite on the surface when they returned, it is said that there is a market in the nobles of the other continent, and powerful weapons from the mysterious continent are always a gimmick for people to spend money on, and they can also be an excellent gift to please their lovers, and it is said that some even flow into the royal family of some countries

Most of the craftsmen responsible for forging these weapons are romantic Salanders, they are good at using extremely complex and exquisite ornamentation, the unique beauty and strength of the weapon are very miraculous together, the fat man once saw one of the finished products on the decorative table in Nilai's bedroom, it is a delicate long sword about one meter long, the sword body is thin and sharp, the cold light is shining, the edge of the sword edge has snowflake-like wave patterns, so that you can feel a cold air at first sight, the whole hilt is made of brilliant whole red coral,

It is undeniable that this thing is a very good craft, the fat man looked at it critically, in front of his beloved woman, and did not hide his bad evaluation of this weapon, as for the effect of the battle, it is difficult to say, although the beautiful female Grand Duke Nilai resolutely said that it is very strong, but the fat man still thinks in his heart that the blow of the Samar war knife is enough to cut this thing, and then even the person with the weapon is split, the frightened female Grand Duke hurriedly put away this handicraft, and no longer dares to show it in front of the fat man, for fear that it will be split by the fat man

Winter is the frozen period of imperial commerce, the fat man has the heart to repair the branches of the empire's commerce and trade in this winter, the transfer of the southern army, so that the booming commerce and trade are somewhat out of the control of the upper echelons, first of all, the population in the south is gathered in large numbers, and a large number of small and medium-sized cities have sprung up in the mountains and plains of the south.

A large number of people have brought prosperity in consumption, but it has also brought all kinds of chaos in commerce in order to grab resources, hoarding cookies, driving up prices, private price limits between localities, and collusion between wealthy families to intervene in the prices of some goods.

To tell the truth, the fat man had expected this situation, but he didn't expect it to explode so quickly, in his mind, this is still a feudal era that can be described as low productivity, and the occasional tendency of commercial capitalism is normal, but the appearance of large-scale batches is too abnormal, the rapid expansion of the empire's territory, the speed of the circulation of all kinds of goods has been greatly increased, and the continuous large-scale wars have given birth to a deformed economy, if this is not ignored, these vines will soon erode the foundations of the empire,

Is it sparse or blocked?

The fat man had to ask himself this question, war can divert contradictions, can make people ignore many lurking dangers, once the war is no longer there, how will he face these problems?

On the eve of the imminent reunification of the continent, the ruler of the empire rubbed his slightly swollen temples with his hands, and outside the military tent, the cold moon was like a shadow, and there was no trace of the stars in sight, only the silver moonlight poured like mercury on the mountains below,

Why is it that others are so happy to imagine, but they are so confused? The fat man was a little depressed, his eyebrows frowned slightly and stared at the mountains in the distance, where is the direction of the empire?

"Your Majesty, Lord Prais asks to see you!" There was the sound of footsteps not far away, followed by the sound of the guards asking for instructions

"Let him come over!" The fat man waved his hand to the guard, and the Imperial Adjutant Prais walked over in a hurry, the fat man's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he had a very bad feeling,

"Oh no, that Dorok rebel general Mo Anrige committed suicide in prison!" Prais's words made the fat man's heart suddenly cold in half

"Dead?" asked the fat man in a gloomy and accentuated tone

"No, but it's about the same!" he stabbed the hidden dagger in the chest when the guards weren't paying attention, I have dispatched the best military doctor, no one knows if he can save him, do your best" Prais shook his head with a solemn expression
