Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 342 The Barbarian Kingdom
"From today, the territory begins to prepare for the war. The food is made into dry food that is easy to eat, as well as muskets and ammunition, and distributed according to the number of each household." Owen put down the data in his hand and read it many times. Maya said.

"These territories have been doing it all the time. The proportion of civilian firearms has reached one-third, and almost all adult males have one or two firearms." Maya doesn't need to think about it. These data come from her mouth. As for so many firearms flowing into the people Whether it will cause turmoil, neither Owen nor Maya has ever worried about it.

"Well, continue to strengthen it. In a real fight, one or two muskets are not enough." Owen nodded and said, then stood up and walked to the sand table to look at the majestic model of the North City even if it was shrunk down. After admiring it for a while, continue Speaking of.

"Leave the city defense to Howard and his son, let them choose a suitable place in the city to build artillery positions, with the range of the new cannon, it is enough to attack the enemies outside the city, and it does not need to occupy the limited space of the city wall, and let them recruit in the city Soldiers conduct the first training session, try to increase more combat power in a short period of time." Owen is planning ahead, after all, he can't predict whether the territory will encounter a war, and the scale of the war will be large. The unknown makes him cautious, and he is cautious. He cherishes his life, and only by cherishing his life can he live for a long time.

"In addition, Mala Town should also be vigilant, and the resources should be replenished in time. Our enemies are not only the barbarians of the Northland." After looking at the lords in the middle of the Northland in the sand table, Owen said quietly, he did not forget Grand Duke Macaron has made a lot of small moves in the Northland, and he still misses his seeds. We must beware of this old bastard who wants to be beautiful.

"Okay, the relevant materials will be delivered within two days." Maya said confidently, because of the existence of the witch, the space pocket, and the Floo network, the delivery of materials in the territory in the Northland was beyond imagination. If it weren't for the North City At the same time, material mobilization is also needed, and the materials needed by Mara Town can be delivered in three hours.

Then the two brought Howard to discuss the details with Emily, made some additions, and made several plans.

The reorganization and training of the army, the establishment of a new artillery battalion, the emergency training of conscripts, the mobilization of combat readiness materials, the construction of field hospitals, and the last-minute emergency evacuation, etc., all of these require a reasonable execution plan, otherwise there will be chaos. group.

In addition, long-distance investigation, peripheral strongholds, city defense construction, emergency mobilization, etc. also need to be perfected a little bit, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will not be one or two people who will die.

Although Owen has a lot of cards in his hand, he is still not 100% sure that he will be able to face even the fallen Northland barbarians, because although the Northland barbarians have incomplete inheritance, who can guarantee that they do not have legendary combat power, and even retain the demigod level? hole card.

Having been able to fight against the empire for so long, Owen would not believe that the barbarians in the north had completely degenerated into a group of savages.

As for whether Owen's guess is correct, anyway, he will not choose to take risks.

Although the territory responded in time, the invasion of the barbarians in the north was faster than Owen imagined. After all, the shamans of the barbarian tribe were not vegetarians. They had expected this year's snow disaster, but before the snow disaster came, Not even a shaman can convince everyone with empty teeth.

Fortunately, it's not too late now. The food originally reserved for the winter is now used as dry food for plundering in the south. As long as those imperial southern barbarians who invaded the north are killed, they will not only get enough food for the winter, but also a lot of tools, sophisticated Weapons and slaves.

Under the pressure of the cold, under the threat of death, and under the temptation of spoils of war, successive tribes of northern barbarians began to move southward, and more and more gathered.

During the process of gathering, these barbarians determined their right to speak through the nagging prophecy of the shaman and their fists, and formed a larger group, which continued to grow like a snowball, and thousands of them moved south.

At this time, they rely entirely on the food they have stored, and they don't need to consider hunting. Otherwise, it is really difficult to form such a scale, but this is tantamount to a disaster for the northern nobles who are still in the early stages of development.

Owen soon received the news, because the buffalo tribe has been quite popular among the barbarians in the north these years.

Iron pots, tomahawks, salt, and spirits are enough to make any northern barbarian put down his fists and choose friendship. After all, the heavily armed barbarian heavy infantry of the bison tribe are not easy to mess with at first glance.

And when he realized that the war was coming, Owen allocated a large amount of food to the bison tribe, and asked them to use the food to exchange fur, gold, silver and gemstones from the northern barbarians. Therefore, the northern barbarian tribes around the bison tribe did not lack winter. food, so it is not so easy to make up your mind to go south.

Another reason is that the excellent conditions of the bison tribe attracted many northern barbarians to join. These northern barbarians are related to the surrounding barbarian tribes. In addition, they have always been generous in exchange for materials without lowering prices. The relationship is very harmonious.

So as long as the bison tribe doesn't let go, those tribes won't force their way south through the bison tribe's territory. After all, they can tell the difference between a full meal and a meal.

I just don't know how long they can last. Once the northern barbarians who go south are full of food, these tribes will definitely not be able to sit still.

But if the barbarians who went south were beaten to death, Owen would have a chance to plan something.

However, things did not go so smoothly. First of all, with the gathering of the barbarian tribes in the north, information circulated among each other, allowing Owen to know a lot of important news, such as the existence of the barbarian kingdom.

Not to mention Owen, I am afraid that even the empire does not know that a barbarian kingdom has appeared in the Northland, and this is not because the barbarians in the Northland have done a good job of keeping secrets, but because the news flow is too slow.

The northern barbarians exist in the form of tribes, each has its own range of activities, and this area represents the source of food and living space, so no one is allowed to invade, which makes the circle of the northern barbarians very closed, sometimes hundreds of people An incident that happened inside and outside cannot be reported for decades, not to mention that this barbarian kingdom is not yet within the scope of the barbarian tribe.

It was also at this time that Owen realized that the northern barbarians who moved north were divided into two parts, mainly because of the existence of the North Boundary River.

The Northern Boundary River originates from the mountains in the extreme north, and flows down from the center of the Northland, but when it reaches the middle of the Northland, it suddenly flows eastward, brushing against the Magic Horn Forest.

It's like the two hands of a clock pointing to a quarter past twelve, dividing the north.

Because of the strange flow direction of the North Boundary River, the northern half of the Northland was actually divided into two parts. When the barbarians moved north, some chose to go up the North Boundary River, westward, and some chose to cross the North River and eastward.

Because the former was constantly being pursued by the imperial frontier army, they became more and more grouped together. Even if the imperial frontier army never came, they were not completely dispersed because they developed habits, and learned to herd and plant, and slowly evolved into a barbarian kingdom.

As for the barbarians crossing the river, because of the northern border river as a natural barrier, they continued to live in the form of tribes according to ancient traditions.

Compared with the two, it is clear that the former is more threatening.

However, because of the geographical location, Owen's territory is located in the middle of the Northland and to the east, so even if the barbarian kingdom goes south, the two sides are one east and one west. Unless they make a special detour, they will never meet.

Even if the northern barbarian tribe crossing the river, Owen's territory is not the first to bear the brunt, unless someone makes trouble.
