Northland, Kelmar City.No matter how lively the celebration is, there will always be an end, and after a night of revelry, there will be a mess left behind, and it is foreseeable that the sanitation department of the government department and the servants of the castle will be busy for a long, long time.And Amon, in the early morning of a new day and the light of the long-lost morning light, officially took office, and began to contact and deal with the affairs of the great kingdom of Kelmar in the name of King Amun.Frankly speaking, he was accustomed to hearing the title of King Khakass, and now that he suddenly changed to King Amun, he didn't feel fluttering, but felt quite uncomfortable anywhere!
But this is the general rule of the Northlands, and all he can do now is slowly adapt.Then, the first thing he faced was actually moving.Yes, it's moving!
As the king of Kelmar City, the master of the Odoyak family, he doesn't live in the family castle, what is the matter?
So, the first strong recommendation of Lord Sharp, Sergi and others was to let him move, Amon was caught off guard, and he was entangled for a long time, so he could only move back from the true dragon's nest to live.But he still refused the location of the entire castle and the room with the best view, which was the place where King Khakassia and Queen Parice lived.It may not be in line with the rules, but it is in line with the emotion, where he has to stay as he is, waiting for his mother, Paric Silver Moon, to return.Of course, the location of his original room was too poor and not suitable, so he chose a room with a relatively good location and let people modify it to a certain extent.He didn't really have much to ask for in his bedroom, but outside of the bedroom, he had to re-separate the two rooms.One is the study, where his collection of books in the True Dragon's Lair, and the materials, especially some of his own research results, must be placed here, and under his nose.Most of these achievements involve a wide range of things, especially the notes in his handwriting, which must not be passed on to the outside world, and he is not at ease if he does not put them in front of his eyes!
The other is the living room, which is not large, but it is also a more private place.There is no doubt that this will be the core of the power of Kelmar City in the future, and the direction of the kingdom and various decrees will be finalized here.Then, when the matter was settled, Amon held his first meeting of kings in the chamber.The attendees were still the leaders of the various authorities in Kelmar City, including Cardinal José, the representative of the church.And the topic of the meeting is actually a report!
This time, Amon didn't speak, or even deal with any government affairs, but only listened with his ears!
He listened to detailed reports from the top officials of various ministries, from the military affairs of Lord Sharp, to Sergi's various government affairs, from Diego's legal oversight, to Madame Garman's tax revenues, and José's propagation of the faith.This report not only includes the basic situation of each department, but also a variety of detailed data, the main tasks now, the direction of follow-up work, etc., etc., among them, the report of Serge, the chief consul of the government affairs department, is the most excessive, no way, who is called the government affairs department to manage the most things, and the government affairs that need to be dealt with are the most complicated.Frankly speaking, this position is not very successful, and some policies can only see the results and benefits subtly, but the people who can handle these affairs well and handle them in an orderly manner are the ones who are really capable!
Sergi, who was born as a civilian, has been a ranger, has been to many places, and was promoted by Queen Paris, and has done it little by little from the grassroots level, and his real ability is really not bad!
After listening to the report, Amon still did not rush to get involved in the handling and decision of various affairs, but dragged the bigwigs of various departments to start running around the country, well, it should be called now, inspection!
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Amon doesn't want to just listen to others, but to see more and think more and witness the real side.Of course, this kind of inspection should not be carried out in a big way, but more often than in secret visits.Amon found a thief who was proficient in disguise, put on makeup for himself and all the bigwigs, and then ran between various departments, which was regarded as a field trip, and with his own eyes and ears, he had a deep understanding of the operation of this country!
And this time took about half a month.In fact, as the formulator of Kelmar City's five-year plan, Amon replaced Wade and effectively promoted the operation and development of the country behind the scenes for a long time.Although limited by his identity, he can't appear in front of people, and it is inconvenient to communicate, but in the overall situation, it is not an exaggeration for him to boast that everything is under control.But how to say it?
Maybe it's the mentality, it's really different!
At that time, the Wall of Sighs had not yet completely collapsed, and King Khakassia led the most elite Gumon legions to guard the gates of hell, making it impossible for the Devil's Legion to enter.On the entire continent, who would dare to ignore it?
At that time, although Carlos was baptized by divine grace, advanced to legend, and became the next heir of the Pope, and the entire continent was also promoted by the true gods, the Kelmar was still firmly controlled by the Odoyak family.The fundamental purpose of the so-called five-year plan is still to centralize power, to firmly control all rights with the active and high-speed development and change of the country, which is a generous conspiracy, so that the church and Carlos can only stare dryly from the side.However, at that time, Amun's mentality was actually very relaxed!
Although he didn't say it, he still knew in his heart that even if he tossed and lost, even if he didn't do things well, it still didn't matter.Because, with King Khakassia in the rear.It's a big deal, as long as King Khakassia takes the time to come back, everything will be solved!
No psychological pressure at all!
But now it's different!
Now, without that man to hold everything up.Now that he is the king of Kelmar, the tallest man, he must be in front of everyone.He can't make mistakes at will!
He has hundreds of thousands of subjects across the kingdom to account, beyond power and glory.The heavy pressure pressed on him, so that he could no longer be as casual as before, but walked on thin ice at every step!
A week later, Amon had the bottom in his heart, he took out the five-year plan, went through it again, circled many inopportune places, but did not rush to correct it.And it was only then that he really began to deal with the affairs of the kingdom.The first major event that needs to be decided by him is the Gumeng Northern Expeditionary Army, is it to continue the war?
Or retreat?
In fact, after succeeding to the ceremony, Amun sent half of the Guards to protect a large number of priests and priests of the god of strength and courage and all kinds of baggage and supplies, and went to the northern part of the wasteland, the territory of the Thracians.This time, the commander is Wade, and what Amon promised before must be fulfilled!
But the support they sent this time was actually not combat support, but various materials and medicines.In the previous battle, the Thracian alliance had been shattered, and in addition to the part that had been killed and captured at that time, at least nearly 200,000 Thracian warriors fled in tribes across the wasteland.The Thracians were originally a nation with a lot of infighting, and they were able to form an alliance, purely through the Great Witch Sacrifice, barely glued together by faith and personal prestige.Now, after the big defeat, this so-called alliance will naturally fall apart.At this point, Gu Meng's Northern Expeditionary Legion no longer needs support at all, they have become the strongest force in the wasteland, and they want to fight whoever they want.But the problem came again, in the previous war, the Thracians were frightened, and the various tribes were scattered in the wasteland, driving cattle and sheep everywhere, but they were not as easy to find as before when they gathered together, and they could be surrounded at will, and then swallowed in one gulp.If you want to fight again, you have to come up with a workable plan and need to replenish a lot of mounts.In the previous battle, although the Gumeng army had gained a lot, there were a lot of cattle and sheep, and tens of thousands of prisoners, but there were not many horses and mounts.According to the torture obtained by Kate's commander, the leader of a certain tribe confessed that it seems that before the war, the Great Witch Priest consciously made certain restrictions.Well, what Amon was worried about before the war, going around in circles, still became the shackles of the Northern Expeditionary Corps.Of course, in the Council of Kings, the reason why there was a voice of retreat, the lack of horses was only one aspect, and the main problem was that winter was coming!
Although the climate of the Northland is divided into four seasons, most of them have longer summers and winters, and shorter springs and autumns.And this year's autumn, it has come later than usual, although the autumn harvest is not affected, but after the rain some time ago, it is really every day that passes, it has to be cold, and the temperature has dropped sharply.According to the old people in Kelmar City, this weather has basically predicted that this year's winter will come very early and be extremely long.And in the winter of the Northland, the snow is flying, the north is whistling, yes, you can freeze to death!
Amon didn't have a thermometer and couldn't come up with specific data, but according to his estimates, the average temperature should be minus five degrees Celsius throughout the winter, and the outdoor waterhole would directly condense into frost.At its coldest, a thick layer of ice will form on the Buro River, and even a large army can pass through it in a column.As for the Thracians, a large part of the reason why the infighting between their tribes is so serious is that they can't beat any of their neighbors.And the winter is too difficult, they don't have enough supplies to survive the winter, so they can only fight each other, and they will not stop until the population is reduced to enough supplies.Over time, the hatred between the tribes has accumulated.On the other hand, if Kelmar wants to continue the war in this winter, not to mention whether it will work or not, the materials that need to be prepared are all days.Sergi has stressed this many times.In the end, Amon finally made a decision after careful consideration and retreated first!
There was a big victory before, in this battle, although the Gumeng army suffered losses, but there were also a lot of gains and prisoners, and now the retreat is only a decision made based on the actual situation, and it is not a shame.Secondly, although it was said to be a retreat, the idea given by Amun was not to evacuate completely, but to build a camp in the southwest of the Thracian territory, on the border with the ancient Mongols, to find a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, as an outpost.With at least 20,000 Thracian prisoners and sufficient supplies captured after the war, it was not impossible to build an outpost before winter fell.With this outpost, a part of the legionnaires stationed in the army will be able to lay the foundation for another war at the beginning of next spring.Amon even wanted to take advantage of the bitter cold of winter to promote a wave of Kelmar's slave policy, to see if he could recruit some Thracian tribes who could not survive.Anyway, they stayed in the wasteland and died, and took refuge in Kelmar City and became slaves, but there was still a glimmer of life.On the side of Kelmar City, if this group of people can be used as the foundation, supplemented by the corresponding policies, and a Thracian servant soldier can be trained, then next year's big battle will be much easier.This opinion was put forward, and everyone's eyes lit up, and the matter was settled.Then, the specific operation was handed over to Master Sharp, and then Sergi helped.And Amon, once again, set his sights on the interior of Kelmar City, it's going to be winter, it's going to be cold this year, and many things need to be arranged in advance.Besides, the legendary white dragon Axelsen is being held in captivity, and he's too busy to care about it these days.However, there is still a treasure of a real dragon waiting for him to scavenge!
