Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 109 Clouds of War

Although it was already late spring and early summer, the weather in the Odin Empire could only be considered not cold, and the white snow shining brightly under the sunlight could still be seen on the towering peaks not far away.

The Odin Empire is located to the north of the Norman Empire. It has a vast land area that far exceeds that of the Norman Empire. It is the largest country in the entire continent.

But it is helplessly sparsely populated, so that almost more than 60% of the population is concentrated in the Novkamen Mountains and the east and west coasts near the border.

The land north of the Novkamen Mountains is mostly dominated by mountains and wilderness. It has a high altitude and a cold climate, which is extremely unsuitable for human survival. Only a few food crops can grow in the wilderness, but due to its poor soil conditions and extreme climate change, resulting in extremely low yields.

To the south of the Novkamen Mountains, the vast plain bordering the Norman Empire can be regarded as the most suitable place for farming in the entire Odin Empire. The annual grain output can even account for 100% of the total grain output of the Odin Empire. More than seventy points.

The tall Novkamen Mountains block the cold winds from the Far North Ice Sheet on the other side of the mountains, which also gives the plains south of the mountains relatively warm climate conditions.

However, the food output in this plain area is far from meeting the growing food needs of the Odin people, so that many Odin people can only make a living by hunting wild beasts and picking berries in the mountain forest wilderness.

Such harsh living conditions also greatly tempered the blood of the Odin people.

Those Odin warriors who can tear apart tigers with their own hands and fight bloody wolves have often become great heroes who are spread word of mouth among the Odin people.

It was under the influence of these generations and spurred by harsh living conditions that the Odin people gradually set their sights on their southern neighbor, the Norman Empire.

Hunting wild beasts in the mountains and forests can only fill your stomach with this meal, but if you grab more land that can grow food from the hands of the Norman Empire... that will be able to satisfy yourself and your descendants. They all fill up your stomach!

Besides, fighting the Normans seems to be much easier than fighting wild beasts...

Ever since, I don’t know when it started, the friction and conflicts between the Norman Empire and the Odin Empire gradually became more...

On the long border between the two countries, from the Winter Fortress in the west to the Anglian Province in the east, the conflict between the Odins and the Normans has lasted for nearly a hundred years.

Over the years, every generation of Odin monarchs has regarded going south as the most important goal to prove their merits. They have used troops again and again to move south, repeatedly breaking through fortresses and entering the Norman Empire, burning, killing, looting, and plundering wealth.

As for Norman... Each generation of Norman emperors regarded decorating their magnificent palace as a top priority. As for the Odin Empire in the north...

Haha, that's just a country established by a group of barbarians!

The luxurious and chaotic palace life has long caused the nobles of the Norman Empire to lose their original blood, so that they turned a blind eye to the threat from the north and were still immersed in their own gentle countryside.

Only this time... the royal palace guards luckily intercepted intelligence from the Odin Empire and threw a noble member of the Regency Council into prison!

Because the words in the intelligence made the nobles of Saint Lawrence realize with horror that the new Odin monarch currently in power seemed to be no longer satisfied with burning, killing and looting within the empire!

The Odinites want land!

The people of Odin want to own vast lands suitable for farming!

And this... finally touched the bottom line of those imperial nobles who had always turned a blind eye!

According to the thinking of these nobles, you Odin people are relatively poor. If you come to rob civilians sometimes, I will forgive you because we are all neighbors.

But you can't just demolish my house! The interests of our nobles cannot be touched!

This is the bottom line!

So, almost overnight, the empire's border was in turmoil, and the cloud of war... seemed to have enveloped the two countries.

Most of the noble lords in the northern part of the Norman Empire have received orders from Saint Lawrence, and one after another the noble private armies began to gather towards the Winter Fortress.

And those imperial soldiers who were directly subordinate to the emperor also began large-scale mobilization within the empire.

At the same time that the Norman Empire began to prepare for the upcoming war, the Odin army was actually ready to go.

Unlike the Norman Empire, which has a large number of powerful noble lords, Lord Odin is the supreme ruler of the Odin Empire and has complete control over Odin's army and Odin's civilians!

Therefore, once a war breaks out, those Odin civilians who have lived on the Armandche Plain (the vast plain south of the Novkamen Mountains) for generations will become qualified Odin soldiers in a very short period of time!

All the people are soldiers!

This is the greatest impact that the harsh living environment of the Odin Empire has had on the Odin people!

In the inherent values ​​of the Odin people, an Odin boy who has not participated in hunting will not be called a man, UU Reading www. uｕukanshu.ｽnet An Odin man who has never killed a beast is not worthy of having a wife!

The strong are respected. These four simple words represent the values ​​deeply imprinted in the bones of Odin people.

The alpine wasteland north of the Novkamen Mountains not only brought barrenness and desolation to the Odin Empire, it also gave the Odin people the best war horses in the world.

So much so that the Odin Empire used the highland horses they domesticated from the northern wilderness to exchange large amounts of food and supplies with the Normans every year.

With the support of a large number of highland horses, these Odin people who mounted their horses to serve as soldiers and dismounted to serve as civilians had a combat effectiveness that was no less than that of the Norman Empire army. At the same time, they also possessed the Norman The ability to move quickly that the military does not have.

It is with these that the Odin people won most of the victories in the conflicts with the Norman Empire in these years, obtained the resources and food they needed through war, and consumed the excess population.

Although this sounds cruel, it is under such a grand strategy that the physical fitness and combat capabilities of the Odin people have increased day by day, and they have become the number one enemy of the Norman Empire in the past hundred years!

It can be said that if the Winter Fortress and other fourteen fortresses and cities were not firmly anchored to the northern land of the Norman Empire, the Odin people would have marched straight into St. Lawrence, the capital of the Norman Empire!
