This wave of actions by the Arctic Ice Kingdom caused quite a stir.

As the former Queen of Ice, Margarian’s strength and majesty are unquestionable. The relic she uses, Snow Burial Divine Eternity, is the third most powerful among the thirteen famous relics in the North. She once led her army to sweep across the nomadic territory, and defeated the nomadic soldiers so that none of them dared to fight back.

The queen is still young, her charm and strength are still there, and now she is leading the army personally, and everyone in the North is in awe.

As for Amabel, this iron-blooded Grand Duke had rarely fought wars since Margarion came to power. He replaced her fame, killed 100,000 nomads in one battle, and became famous in the North.

No one doubted her strength, but most people were curious about why Grand Duke Amabel had disappeared for so long after being captured. They thought he had been executed, but they didn’t expect that he had become a loyal subject of Ash.

But in fact, Amabel has already belonged to Ash.

Ash had never intended to kill Amabel from the beginning.

Those who stood on the wrong side could be killed, firstly to stabilize the situation at that time and to deter those who had different intentions. Secondly, by killing the opponents, it would be easier to support their own people.

But Amabel, Ash doesn’t want to kill her because she does have abilities.

A command value of 95 is enough to show that this is a very valuable commander card. She is also a seventh-level warrior. With the help of the relic burst, she can fight against any level below the eighth level. More importantly, she has the potential to advance to the Chosen of Khorne. Once the “job change” is successful, breaking through to the eighth level will not be a problem.

Such a good talent, kill it?

How can it be!

Ever since he captured her, Asher has been considering what path of faith he should let her take. Slaanesh’s ability to control people is quite strong, and once they are controlled, there is almost no possibility of betrayal. But Khorne is more in line with the character of Amabel in his mind. After much thought, he finally decided to do both!

After teaching for so long without being disturbed, Amabel had already turned into his shape. However, in order to avoid the chaos and discordant voices caused by Amabel’s appearance, Ash has kept her hidden until now.

As for why he took it out now…it’s simple, because no one in the entire Arctic Ice Kingdom would oppose him.

Even if there are any, they are just one or two ignorant and rude people. Just kill them and that’s it.

[In June 1782, Maglian led an army of 6 to attack the Tahakan tribe, and the chieftain of Tahakan assembled nomadic soldiers to resist.]

[Three days later, Margarian defeated the nomadic army and launched a sweep against the Tahagan tribe.]

[In the same month, the nomadic peoples launched an “anti-Ice Kingdom” craze, and dozens of tribes united to attack the Ice Kingdom.]

On the strategic map, dense armies emerged from the nomadic forces’ territory. One part of them began to attack the territory of the Arctic Ice Kingdom, while the other part went to support Tahakgan.

A rough calculation shows that the total number of people on both sides exceeds 150,000.

[Phyllis: These nomadic soldiers are really difficult to deal with. The probability of a tribe sending out troops is too high. Almost 50% of them can be mobilized to fight. Moreover, they are not weak in strength, but their equipment is a little poor. If they are given a territory rich in resources, who knows what they will become.]

[Irelia: If we really had a comfortable living environment, there wouldn’t be the nomadic soldiers we have now. The biggest feature of the North is selection, using harsh living conditions to select the right people. If everyone is comfortable, who would be willing to learn how to fight? Once their bloodiness is worn out, the so-called nomadic soldiers are nothing more than a group of sheep.]

[Phyllis: It seems so. The orcs are the same. What do you think? Should we collect all the food in the territory and then tell the people that there is no food left. If they want to eat, they can go to the neighboring countries to rob? ]

[Irelia: …I think you will be burned to death by your people. ]

[Phyllis: That’s not necessarily the case. With a little trick… um, it should be possible. ]

Irelia thought to herself, you can’t even come up with a big plan, let alone a small one. If it was Ash who planned this kind of thing, she would believe it, but as for Felix… well, the mage doesn’t like to use tricks, he just needs to blow up the opponent.

Of course, maybe Phyllis is just a wise fool.

[Phyllis: @Esde, is this how you guys in the Ice Kingdom do it? Tell the soldiers that there is no food, and then they attack to death.]

[Acede: The Ice Army does not need to be deceived by such lame excuses. Each of them is the bravest warrior.]

The environment determines the way of survival. In the cruel North, this spontaneously formed competitiveness has long been imprinted in everyone’s bones. Why would we need to make up reasons to deceive?

Esde’s gaze fell on the Tahagan tribe. At this time, Magrian’s army had already fought with the nomadic army. Including the army of the Tahagan tribe, the number of the entire nomadic coalition exceeded 100,000, and there were countless small guerrilla forces harassing Magrian’s army.

These small groups of nomadic soldiers are very difficult to deal with. Their fighting style is completely unsystematic and they will take advantage of any loopholes they find. They mainly carry out harassment attacks on supply lines and locations with poor mobility. This seemingly innate tactical system is like a mouse that is born to dig holes and steal things; it is the nomadic soldiers’ forte.

She suffered a great loss from this tactic when she attacked the nomadic people before.

At this time, Esde discovered that Margarion began to divide the army into groups of 3,000 people, and a total of ten groups began to spread outward. The mission of these 3,000-man troops was to sweep the outposts in the territory of the Tahagan tribe and carry out brutal orders to burn, kill, loot and rob.

The territory of the Tahakan tribe is very large, almost like a human country. Each gathering point in the territory is a small tribe, equivalent to a human city, but without towering walls and city defense equipment. These tribes mainly engage in planting and animal husbandry, providing a large source of food for Tahakan.

In addition, most of the nomadic soldiers who entered Tahagan to fight guerrilla warfare also relied on these places to maintain their supplies, because they were small in number and had no supply lines.

Esde quickly understood Mother’s strategic purpose.

A mopping-up army of 3,000 people is simply not something these small tribes can resist, even those guerrilla forces are no match for them. They are too few in number, basically only 1,000 or 2,000 people at most. How can they fight against the fully armed Extreme Ice Army?

You know, Ash loves the child’s mother. More than half of these 60,000 troops were trained by him personally. They can fight the Holy See head-on, let alone these nomads.

More importantly, these small tribes had no city defenses, so they would scatter as soon as the cavalry charged.

They don’t need food supplies at all, because everywhere they go is a granary!

Then a shocking scene appeared.

The entire Taha cadre fell under the attack of these ten mopping-up armies. Wherever they went, fires burned the sky and blood stained the wasteland!

[Phyllis: My god, your mother is so cruel, Esde. I suddenly think it’s normal for her to like Ash.]

A tribal stronghold has at least 3,000 to 4,000 people. How many are 10? How many are 20?

If Margarian’s order was to kill, destroy the tribe and take away the food, Phyllis would not say anything, but Margarian’s order was – leave no one alive!

Is this guy the Bishop of Khorne?

[Phyllis: So many people were killed…]

[Irelia: This is normal. The nomadic people are too wild. Ordinary methods cannot deter them at all. We can only choose extreme methods.]:

[Phyllis: I mean… it would be great to keep it for mining. ]

[Irelia: …]

Indeed, conditions in the North are harsh, but there are abundant mining resources, which are great for mining.

But in fact, what Ash asked of Margarion was to exterminate the nomadic peoples. Conquer? Sorry, the betrayers were not worth conquering.

The main reason is that most nomads are stubborn and don’t obey discipline. Just look at the Tahagan tribe. They have paid tribute to the Ice Kingdom for so many years, but they always think about rebelling. How can they rebel when they are treated so well? That’s right.

To be honest, Ash didn’t care whether the nomads submitted to him or not. Compared to this, he cared more about the orcs.

Mining? One Orc is the equivalent of two!

Moreover, the orcs do not have high requirements for food and accommodation.

The population is also growing fast.

Whether it is miners or other laborers, or even soldiers on the battlefield, it is an excellent choice.

Even if they weren’t beastmen, there were so many small countries in the North that they could just conquer any of them and make them their colonies. The people in those countries, who were used to being oppressed, wouldn’t have much desire to resist. Why would they abandon such high-quality slaves and use those nomads? Unless Ash had been kicked in the head by a donkey.

At present, not all of them are not resisting. In short, there are two core points – painted and attacked.

His eyes turned.

Magrian has already set half of Talhaqan on fire. The army’s efficiency has been greatly improved after being reorganized, and the harassment tactics of the nomadic soldiers have been perfectly solved. Magrian took the remaining 30,000 people and stationed there, waiting for the war to spread throughout Talhaqan.

Seeing that the situation was not favorable, Commander Tahaqan turned from defense to offense and led more than 60,000 nomadic soldiers to prepare for a head-on attack on Margarion. However, before they got close, tens of thousands of cavalrymen charging in the front stepped on empty air and fell into the trap that Margarion had carefully prepared for them – wooden stakes, oil, and flaming arrows shot from a distance.

tumultuous! ——

When the fire burned, the entire plain was almost blocked by fire. The nomadic cavalrymen all tried to rein in their horses, and those who failed to do so fell directly into the fire pit.

[‘Everywhere covered by frost is the kingdom’s territory. The chaos will eventually end, and a new emperor will be born in the land of ice and snow.’ – Margarian]

[Margarian uses the famous general skill ‘Breath of Winter’, all soldiers’ morale +10, all attributes +10%, and attacks with additional ice damage. ]

On the interface, after Margarian released her famous general skill, the white snow and wind immediately obscured everyone’s vision. When the snow and wind dissipated, it was seen that the Iron Pagodas who had been ambushing on both sides of the battlefield had already launched a charge.

On the other side of the flames, the enchanted assault shooters began to sweep.

On the other side of the flame, the Iron Pagoda army surrounded them.

For a time, the nomadic army was in chaos.

Looking at the decreasing number of enemy troops and the frighteningly high casualty ratio, Esde was shocked. At this moment, she finally remembered why she had regarded Margarion as a hero since she was a child, because Queen Margarion was the ultimate hero!

Esde discovered that there was still a gap between her and Margarian.

No wonder Ash felt that she was not mature enough. With Margarian as a comparison, the gap was immediately apparent.

[In mid-June 1782, Margarian devised a plan to defeat the nomadic coalition forces. In the same month, he led his troops to attack, beheading all the enemies wherever he went.]

[At the end of June, Chief Tahagan requested peace talks with the Arctic Ice Kingdom.]

【Margaret refused the peace talks.】

[Affected by rebellious sentiment, all nomadic soldiers’ attack power +15%. 】

Ash glanced at them indifferently. As expected, these guys were difficult to tame. They had a body of 100 pound but a rebellious nature weighing 90 pound. It would be easiest to just kill them.

[In early July, Chief Tahagan issued a public statement, saying that the brutal behavior of the Arctic Ice Kingdom violated human ethics and endangered the stability of the entire northern border, and called on the northern countries to join forces to fight. ]

[The countries did not respond.]

[In early July, the nomads in the northern border formed an alliance to resist the invasion of the Arctic Ice Kingdom and assembled 7 troops to support Tahagan.]

[In the same month, the Holy See dispatched 60,000 troops into the northern border on the grounds that the Ice Kingdom fabricated reasons for sending troops, deliberately provoked war, and was suspected of harboring cultists.]

[Queen Esde led her troops to intercept the Holy See army.]

[In the same month, the northern countries mobilized their troops and pointed their spearheads at the Arctic Ice Kingdom.]

“Is it finally here?”

Looking at the chaotic situation in the North, Ash was not surprised, but was a little surprised that the strength of the Holy See seemed to be stronger than before.

Or is it that the Holy See already had this strength, but just didn’t have the time to show it before?

He remembered that the Holy See had sent troops to suppress those beast realms. He had previously speculated that the Holy See’s army had honed its strength through the beast realms. Considering that not only the Arctic Ice Kingdom was rising, but also Benicia from the East Continent was attacking strongly, in order to consolidate its ruling position, the Holy See was very likely to dispatch troops to defend in advance and start large-scale conscription at the same time.

With the strength of the Holy See, if they want to recruit soldiers, they will be faster than any other major kingdom.

At this time, Esde had led his troops to intercept the Holy See’s army at the border, but because of the Holy See’s movements, the northern countries all began to take action, with the momentum to fight Jibing and divide the territory.

“Are you going to replicate the Ten-Nation Alliance? Haha~”

Ash sneered and sent out the trained Slaanesh assassins one after another. At the same time, he ordered the various armies originally stationed in Desibia and other areas to begin to expand outward.

[Felice: The North is in complete chaos, just like the South Continent back then.]

[Irelia: It’s different. This time the Holy See is restricted. The northern countries alone may not be able to overthrow the Arctic Kingdom unless the orcs also take action.]

Right now, in the entire northern border, the nomadic peoples are being held back by Magarian, and the Holy See army is restricted to the edge of the northern border. Unless they cross the barrier of Esde, the determination of the northern countries will not be that strong. Who knows if it will end up with the Holy See and the Arctic Ice countries each drinking three cups and saying “misunderstanding”, and then they all become unlucky.

After all, the influence of the Holy See in the North is far less than that in other places. Under the influence of the harsh living environment, the people of the North rarely place their hopes on the empty and beautiful gods.

Even if one wants to believe in God, the Ice God will be the first priority.

The reason why they followed the Holy See was entirely because the Holy See had the ability to fight against the Arctic Ice Kingdom and wanted to stage a drama where the fisherman benefits from the conflict between the snipe and the clam.

But if the Holy See cannot come, they will not be so decisive in sending troops.

After all, no one wants to bear the brunt of the first wave of anger from the Arctic Ice Kingdom.

And the other side.

Amabel has led his army to break through the border of the Orc Kingdom and reached the Khalkha Mountains.

The Khalkha Mountains are a mountain range on the Atephis Prairie. The Orc Kingdom used the terrain of the mountains to build a solid defense line to prevent the invasion of the Arctic Kingdom… Although in Ash’s opinion, this so-called border line is almost the same as not having it – sentry towers, camps, and several orcs on guard sitting on the ground picking up wild vegetables and stuffing them into their mouths.

The orcs have very poor discipline, and their tactics are basically F2A. In addition to their physical fitness, their greatest reliance is witchcraft and the power of the kingdom’s totem. Once the buffs are maxed out, just charge forward.

A long time ago, orcs were more barbaric, basically a transformation of wild beasts, with simple thoughts, fighting and eating. It was not until they were defeated by the human alliance and retreated to the north that orcs began to learn from humans.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of living conditions, most orcs still maintain a simple way of thinking – as long as they have enough food, it’s enough.

The instinct of wild beasts is to hunt. All their survival skills are for the purpose of hunting their opponents more conveniently. Why do they kill their opponents? To eat! This behavior is simplified to the mind of orcs, that is, “only if you win the fight can you eat”, so orcs are often extremely fierce when fighting.

During these years in the North, Ash has come to understand more and more that the orcs are a great race. They are simply the best slaves!

That’s why he sent Amabel to attack the orcs, because the latter had a deal with the orcs before, using a wave of food in exchange for the orcs sending troops to attack Esde. Those simple-minded guys did it without thinking… Give a bunch of food and go fight those guys who are already enemies, so what is there to hesitate about?

But the deal is one thing, and driving them is another. Amabel knows orcs better than he does, so Ash left the matter to the iron-blooded Grand Duke.

And the other party did not disappoint him.

[In July 1782, Amabel led his army to break through the Khalkha Mountains and killed more than 7 orcs. ]

[In the same month, Amabel entered the Prairie Canyon and was blocked by a pack of 100,000 jackals.]

The Prairie Canyon is the main place where jackals are active. The orcs raise the main force of jackals in the canyon and always maintain a relatively stable number.

There are 300,000 jackals in the entire canyon, most of whom are miscellaneous troops. The number of jackals that can really pose a threat to the Arctic Ice Kingdom will not exceed 100,000, and these 100,000 are the elite of the jackal pack. The rest, in addition to being used to reproduce the population, also need to obtain food from the outside.

Once the number of jackals exceeds 300,000, the orcs will start organizing the jackals to send them off.

According to the records of the Arctic Ice Kingdom, there was a year when the climate in the North was good and there was plenty of food. The orcs hardly organized a large-scale food-grabbing operation that year. As a result, the following year an army of 800,000 jackals gathered in the Grand Canyon and a serious disaster broke out.
