Everyone had arrived at Northern Barbarian City!
The buildings here were completely different from those in the Northern Borderline and the Central Plains. The buildings were obviously larger, and they exuded a rough and barbaric aura. Many of the houses were painted with strange patterns.
This used to be a barbarian city. Since it was occupied by the Northern Borderline, it had become the residence of the Northern Battlefront Army.
There were also immigrants and merchants from the Northern Borderline, but soldiers could be seen everywhere. The Northern Battlefront Army could be seen almost everywhere. All kinds of large-scale armaments were arranged on the city wall. There were even many military camps and armaments everywhere in the city.
"Northern Barbarian City is really like a fortress made of steel.”The Central Prefecture Marquis and the others couldn't help but exclaim.
At that moment, a general in white armor and riding a white horse led a group of Northern Battlefront Army soldiers to the gate to welcome them!
This person seemed to be emitting a cold aura all the time, like an emotionless machine. Behind him was a team wearing white armor, giving off a terrifying feeling!
"Greetings, Marquis. Greetings, Central Prefecture Marquis.”
It was Ling Aodou, the general of the Northern Battlefront Army and the commander of the Ice Snow Army.
"General Ling…give me a brief report on this military exercise.”Lin Qing Yu said.
"Reporting to Lord Marquis, I heard that the Tianwu Dynasty has issued twelve imperial edicts in a row, wanting the Northern Borderline to cede Northern Barbarian City. We will listen to Lord Marquis's orders regarding this situation, but we are not stupid. The reason why this situation has occurred is because the Barbarian Race has secretly done a lot of things.”
" That's why I feel that it's necessary to teach the barbarians a lesson." Ling Ao Dou said coldly." Let them understand that they have to pay a price for secretly causing trouble for our Northern Borderline!"”
" Besides that, we also need to intimidate the Barbarian Race and let them recognize the reality. Even if we fall out with the Tianwu Dynasty, they can't touch Northern Barbarian City.”
Lin Qing Yu nodded." General Ling, you're right. Tell me about your actual combat drill plan."”
" Recently, I've discovered that the barbarians have gathered their soldiers and transported war machines in the six major cities of Upper Barren, Middle Barren, Lower Barren, Ancient, Middle, and Lower Barren, which are not far from Northern Barbaric City. I suspect that they might be thinking that after we and the Tianwu Dynasty turn you over, they can attack Northern Barbaric City from behind!”Ling Ao Dou said seriously.
"Therefore, I have decided to lead the Ice Snow Army and the inexperienced Eighth Legion of the Northern Battlefront Army to launch a surprise attack. We will wipe out the barbarians in the six cities and destroy or seize their war machines! Train the 8th legion with actual combat!"
"How many battles has the 8th legion experienced?”Lin Qing Yu asked.
Ling Aodou was in charge of the Eighth Legion. He knew that the Eighth Legion had 300,000 soldiers from the Northern Battlefront Army, but he didn't know much about the situation.
" We've only experienced six battles, big and small. We've only fought once in battles like seizing cities and large-scale battles. This is a good opportunity to sharpen the Eighth Legion.”Ling Ao Dou said.
Hearing this, the Central Prefecture's Marquis and the others were dumbfounded. They had experienced many battles and yet they said they had no actual combat experience? According to this logic, how ridiculous was the garrison of Northern Barbarian City?
Besides…wasn't this a practical exercise? Did Northern Barbarian City have some misunderstanding about the drill? Shouldn't they be simulating battles with their own people? Why did they attack the barbarians?
Moreover, they were barbarians! Many people in the Tianwu Dynasty were afraid of the Barbarians. Even the Tianwu Dynasty would be extremely cautious when dealing with the Barbarians.
However, attacking the barbarian cities in Northern Barbarian City seemed to be a common thing.
"How many barbarians are there in the six barbarian cities?”Lin Qing Yu asked.
"According to the scouts, there should be a million of them.”" The Barbarian Tribe is afraid of the Northern Barbarian Territory," Ling Aodou said scornfully." They never dare to mobilize the Barbarian Tribe's army on a large scale in the cities close to Northern Barbarian City. These million Barbarian soldiers were also secretly divided into small groups and gradually transferred to the six cities of the Barbarian Tribe.”
"What is the Northern Barbarian Pact?" This was the first time the Central Prefecture Marquis had heard of this treaty.
"Have you ever heard of our Northern Battlefront Army defeating the allied army of millions of barbarians?”Lin Qing Yu asked with a smile.
"Everyone knows about this." "The Demon Barbarians didn't lose too many soldiers in this battle. The main casualties were the experts at the Grandmaster level and above," said the Central Prefecture Marquis.
Lin Qing Yu nodded.
" Many people in the Tianwu Dynasty have a misunderstanding. They think that we defeated the millions of demonic barbarians with 100,000 soldiers of the Northern Battlefront Army. That's the only way to deter the demonic barbarians.”
" After that battle," Lin Qing Yu said," he led the Northern Battlefront Army and took down 164 barbarian cities in a year. He was heading straight for the Holy City of the Barbarians! The barbarians were greatly injured and requested a truce.
At that time, due to the unacclimatized environment, unfavorable terrain, insufficient reserves, and the harassment of the barbarian guerrilla warfare, I decisively gave up on occupying those cities. Using this as a bargaining chip, I made the barbarians sign the Northern Barbarian Convention.
This treaty stipulated that the Barbarians would pay a huge amount of compensation to the Northern Borderline. In addition, no one was allowed to station troops in any of the six cities close to the Northern Barbarian City. Only the city guards were allowed to stay to maintain public order. If the Northern Barbarian City felt threatened, the Northern Battlefront Army could eliminate the threat unconditionally. The Barbarians would be fully responsible for it. The Northern Battlefront Army had the right to make further military actions.”
"This is the 'Northern Barbarian Pact!" Lin Qing Yu laughed.”
"The barbarians…signed such a treaty?”The Central Prefecture Marquis was a little stunned.
To the arrogant barbarians, this was simply a humiliation!
At this moment, the Central Prefecture's Marquis suddenly realized that the Northern Barbarian City was not only a strategic location that could threaten the Barbarian Race at any time. It was also possible that the Barbarian Race had the desire to eliminate the Northern Barbarian Territory.
After all, if Northern Barbarian City was ceded, the contents of the Northern Barbarian treaty would basically exist in name only.
