Chapter 109 Clouds of War

　　Although it has reached the end of spring and early summer, the weather in the Odin Empire is barely cold. Not far from the towering peaks, you can see the white snow glowing brightly under the sunlight.

　　 The Odin Empire is located to the north of the Norman Empire. It has a vast land that is far larger than the Norman Empire. It is the largest country on the entire continent.

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

The land to the north of the Novkamen Mountains is mostly high mountains and wasteland. The altitude is high and the climate is cold, which is extremely unsuitable for human survival. Only a few kinds of food crops can grow in the wasteland, but due to its poor soil conditions And extreme climate change, so the output is extremely low.

In 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 70 points.

　　 The tall Novkamen Mountains block the cold wind from the Arctic Ice Sheet on the other side of the mountain range, which also allows the plains south of the mountain range to obtain relatively warm climate conditions.

　　 The food output of this plain area is far from meeting the growing food demand of the Odin people, so many Odin people can only make a living by hunting beasts and picking berries in the wilderness.

　　 And such difficult living conditions have greatly sharpened the blood of the Odin people.

　　 Those Odin warriors who can tear the tiger by hand and fight the wolves in blood have become the heroes who pass word of mouth around the Odin people in many cases.

　　 That is, under the influence of this generation, under the spur of harsh living conditions, the Odin people gradually turned their attention to the Norman Empire, which is located in their southern neighboring country.

Hunting wild beasts in the mountains and forests can only fill your stomach with this meal, but if you grab more land from the Norman Empire where you can grow food... it will enable you and your children and grandchildren. It's filling your stomach!

　　Furthermore, fighting with the Normans seems to be much easier than fighting with beasts...

　　 So, I don’t know when, the frictions and conflicts between the Norman Empire and the Odin Empire gradually increased...

　　 On the long border between the two countries, from the Winter Fortress in the westernmost part to the province of Angrus in the east, the conflict between the Odin and the Normans has lasted for nearly a hundred years.

　　 For many years, each generation of Odin has regarded going south as the most important goal to prove their merits. They used troops again and again, sent troops to the south, repeatedly breached fortresses and entered the territory of the Norman Empire, burned, killed, looted, and searched for wealth.

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

　　 Ha ha, that was just a kingdom built by a group of barbarians!

　　 The luxurious and lavish court life has long lost the bloodliness of the nobles in the Norman Empire, so that they turned a blind eye to the threat of the north and were still immersed in their own gentle homeland.

　　 Only this time...The royal court guards were lucky enough to intercept the intelligence from the Odin Empire and throw an aristocratic member of the Regent Council into prison!

　　 Because of the words in the intelligence, the nobles of St. Lawrence realized with horror that the new Odin monarch now in power seems to be no longer satisfied with burning, killing, looting and looting in the empire!

　　 Odin people want land!

　　 Odin people want to have vast land suitable for farming!

　　 And this... finally touched the bottom line of those imperial nobles who kept one eye closed!

　　According to the thoughts of these nobles, you Odin are relatively poor. If you sometimes rob civilians, you will be forgiven because everyone is a neighbor.

　　 But you can’t demolish my house directly! Can't touch the interests of our nobles!

　　 This is the bottom line!

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

　　 Most of the noble lords in the north of the Norman Empire have received orders from St. Lawrence, and one after another noble private army began to gather towards the Winter Fortress.

　　 And those imperial soldiers who directly belonged to the imperial emperor also began a large-scale and large-scale mobilization within the empire.

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

　　Different from 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 the Odin army and the Odin civilians!

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

　　 All the people are soldiers!

　　 This is the greatest impact that the harsh living environment of the Odin Empire has brought to 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~lightnovelpub.net~ An Odin who has not killed a beast will not deserve to have a wife!

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

　　 The alpine wasteland north of the Novkamen Mountains brought barrenness and desolation to the Odin Empire, and at the same time brought the Odin people the best horse in the world.

　　So that the Odin Empire exchanged large amounts of food and supplies in the hands of the Normans with their domesticated highland horses from the northern wilderness every year.

With the support of a large number of highland horses, these Odins, who are on horses to be soldiers and dismounted, are the people. They have a fighting capacity that is not inferior to that of the Norman Empire. At the same time, they also have Norman. The ability to move fast that the military does not possess.

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

　　 Although this sounds cruel, it is also under such a grand strategy that the physical fitness and fighting ability of the Odin people have increased day by day, and they have become the number one enemy of the Norman Empire in the past 100 years!

　　It can be said that if it hadn't been for the fourteen fortress cities such as the Winter Fortress to be firmly nailed to the northern land of the Norman Empire, the Odins would have long drove straight into the Norman Empire's capital, St. Lawrence!
