Black Iron Crown

Chapter 584: Alliance

   "Are they still expanding their army?" The queen widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "They already have such a huge territory. Isn't this still not enough?"

   "Yes, your Majesty..." Count Redmara said helplessly: "People's desires are always infinite, they can't be satisfied, and their greed will then swallow them too!"

"But before that, we must ensure that we ourselves will not be swallowed by them. With all due respect, your Majesty, the Kingdom of Bukerdern is really unreliable. They played a small role in the last war, and neither was it. Helping us wholeheartedly!"

   "Therefore, while strengthening our own strength, we should also draw other allies to advance and retreat with us!"

   The queen looked a little ugly after listening to the words of Count Redmara. After all, the Kingdom of Bukerdern was her home country, and it would inevitably feel uncomfortable to be said that.

   However, she also knew that although her father was a king, such affection was obviously insignificant in the interests of the country, so he could only nod his head and said, "What do you want to do?"

"That’s how I think, Your Majesty, the nomads on the grassland are definitely not prepared for this year’s snow disaster. Their cattle and sheep cannot find the buried forage under the snow-covered condition, so that they can store hay. It's definitely not enough for those cattle and sheep."

"I want to send envoys to the tribes on the grassland to negotiate, and let them go to the imperial capital to sign the covenant with us personally. After the covenant is signed, we will provide them with some fodder and food. At least until next spring, they will have to rely on it. We can keep their cattle and sheep alive."

"At that time, we can deepen our cooperation and alliance with them, and fight against the Northern Territory with the Kingdom of Bukerdern. The big deal is that we give them a promise that as long as Duke Rainer is eliminated, we will divide the Northern Territory by half or even three. Give them all the land of the second one!"

   "Give them so much land in the North?" The queen frowned slightly. As a woman, he was not very sensitive to national events, but she didn't want the land that should belong to her to be given to others.

Count Redmara said helplessly: "Your Majesty, we have no choice now. The steel in the imperial capital is so expensive now. Our soldiers can't beat the northern border in terms of armor rate. In addition, the soldiers in the northern border are already tough. The soldiers of the squad are not their opponents!"

"Moreover, we only have 10,000 regular troops. Even if the other lords are added together, we only have more than 15,000. Grand Duke Rainer now has more than 15,000 soldiers. Thousands of people, how can we deal with them if we are not prepared?"

   After listening to Count Redmara’s painstaking explanation, the queen reluctantly nodded and said: "Well, as long as we can ensure our safety, I don't mind giving the northern land to the prairie barbarians."

   So, the long-sleeved, well-dancing Sir Horn once again left the imperial capital with his entourage in such an ice world, braving the wind and snow to head east.

   At this time, the eastern prairie is already full of sorrows, and more than one meter of snow has severely hindered the ability of these herdsmen to move.

  The huge flocks of cattle and sheep huddled together, relying on each other's body temperature to warm themselves, and the powerful herdsmen of the tribe shuttled back and forth among the flocks of cattle and sheep with a handful of hay.

   The skinny faces are covered with frostbite, their whole body is covered with sheepskin, and there are five or six layers up and down, but even so, they still can't stop the cold wind from penetrating into their clothes along the cracks.

   trembling, they didn't dare to disobey Khan's orders, they could only endure such severe cold and hard work.

   This is a huge tribe. The Arshan tribe is one of the best tribes on the eastern grasslands. The only people who can compare with them are the Aguer and Ketli tribes.

   However, the Agul tribe was easily wiped out by Lena a few years ago, and the remaining free herdsmen were also gathered by tribes one by one. The Agul tribe no longer exists on the grassland.

   Therefore, the only one that can be compared with the Arshan Ministry is the Ketli Ministry.

  Hamier Khan of the Alsan Ministry was sipping low-alcohol wine in his big tent, and in front of him was a roasted golden sheep, which was covered with scars at this time.

  Hamier Khan used his knife to cut the mutton piece by piece, looking very happy and happy with a mouthful of meat and wine.

"The Great Khan, the white disaster is getting more and more serious. There are only more than four months before the end of winter, but the hay we have now stored is only enough for our cattle and sheep for two months. Think of a solution. !"

   Ha Mi'er Khan said with a frown, thinking that Da Na Yan was frowning.

"Think of a way?" Hamer Khan chewed the meat in his mouth and thought for a while, then buckled his teeth with the paper armor filled with black mud, and said: "I heard that the Redka people's empire is very strong now. Weak, why don't we just march west. The Redka people’s land is very fertile, and their warehouses are full of grain. If we rob them, won’t we be able to spend the winter easily?"

   As he said, the Khamir Khan said angrily: "The Redka people started raids on our prairie again and again, but now they are weakened, that's the time for us to take revenge!"

"But... Khan, it will take a lot of time for you to gather your troops. We only have two months of hay. It will take you more than a month to recruit all the shepherds and small clans~lightnovelpub.net~ left. We still have to march in the next time, I am afraid that our remaining reserves are not enough..."

   "This is not okay, that is not okay, then what do you say?" Hamier Khan said impatiently after hearing this Nayan's words.

   "It's better... Let's discuss with the Redka people, where to borrow some food from them, the big deal is that we will give a promise of double repayment, I believe they will not refuse!"

   The great Nayan thought with a sad face, suddenly his eyes rolled around and said with a smile.

   "Double repayment?" Hamir Khan listened and shook his head: "This is too bad, double repayment would be greater than the loss we suffered in the White Disaster!"

"Oh, the Great Khan, what I'm talking about is to give them a promise of double repayment, but I don’t really double repay them. When we survive the white disaster, we will regain our strength again. The weak Redka people will still be us. Is it your opponent? If we can't beat us, we still want us to pay back twice? Don't be kidding!"

   "Oh!" Hamier Khan pointed at Danayan and laughed, "It really is shameless! It seems that it is right to put you by my side as a dog! Your dog can really help me bite!"

"That's nature, that's nature!" Dana smiled flatteringly, and said: "It is my honor to be your dog of the Khan, but not everyone can give you an honor to the Khan. hound!"
