Chapter 128: The Duchy of Cabernet

In the past few days, Lu Yang carefully analyzed the Battle of the Tasir River 500 years ago.

He believed that the reason why the King of the East failed was because the emperor found out his march route in advance. This gave the emperor the opportunity to take the initiative to attack and eliminate the rebels with weapons of mass destruction.

Lu Yang now knows that the emperor cannot use weapons of mass destruction near King's Landing Castle. As long as they march fast enough to directly kill the city of King's Landing Castle before the emperor reacts, they can force the emperor to compete with them for conventional combat power.

In terms of conventional combat power, our side has overwhelming advantages such as laser cannons, support from the Black Islands, and the North Wind Knights. No matter what the emperor has intrigues, as long as he cannot use a large killing weapon, it will be futile.

So the key to this attack is the word "fast"!

Therefore, under the order of Princess Xuefeng, the entire army only carried supplies for one week and attacked in the direction of King's Landing Castle with light speed and lightweight equipment.

Due to the lack of the drag of the recruitment of untouchables, the speed of this pure noble unit in the low-gravity wasteland was extremely amazing. In addition, the princess army was traveling along the Tasir River all the way, so there was no problem of getting lost. The entire unit's advance speed could reach about 60 kilometers per day. This speed was almost 2-3 times that of the ordinary army of the Holy Empire.

It took only three days for the princess' army to arrive at the border of the North Wind Kingdom, and in the middle they also received all the noble knights from the two Earls of the North Wind Kingdom.

Originally, these two nobles of the North Wind Kingdom wanted to take advantage of the excuse to shirk their responsibilities. As soon as Connelia drew out the sword of Dawn and flashed the light of Dawn. The two counts obediently opened the city and surrendered with Lilly.

They really had no choice but to refuse to open the city. The next moment, all the people in the castle would become blind. The city walls were of no use to the omnipresent light of dawn.

Even the veteran of the Knight Byronger, who had been a knight for more than 20 years, saw this "blitzkrieg" marching and said he had gained some knowledge. He repeatedly assured Lu Yang that the emperor would never have expected this amazing speed of advance even in his dreams.

On the fifth day, Lu Yang and his party came to the old nest of Duke Carpena, a noble leader in the valley upper reaches of the Tasir River.

As Lu Yang expected, it only took six days since the North Wind King announced his rebellion to the present. According to the news from the undercover of the Black Islands from the God-given Land, the Emperor of the Holy Empire is still trying to gather his troops.

Therefore, the Duke of Caberna is still under the control of the Duke's direct knights, and the emperor did not have time to remove the nail that was nailed in front of King's Landing Castle.

Next, as long as the reinforcements from the Black Islands are gathered, the time for the general attack will be coming!

The upper valley of the Tasir River is an less typical valley.

Logically speaking, the lower the gravity, the more rugged the terrain will be; and the higher the gravity, the higher the mountain strength required by the mountain to overcome its own gravity, so the flatter the terrain will be.

However, the Galaxy Federation seemed to have artificially transformed the terrain of the rich land, so the terrain of the entire Holy Empire was quite flat, and only the altitude of the God Given Land at the center of the continent was slightly higher. Almost all major rivers originated radially from the surrounding area of ​​the God Given Land and flowed to the oceans around the continent.

The higher the river goes, the lower the sand content will be, so the erosion of the water flow will exceed the sediment deposition, thus forming the terrain of the valley.

However, due to the low gravity of the Star of Blessing, it is difficult to form a steep valley like the Xipan River even in the upper reaches of the river.

The upper valley of the Tasir River is not so much a valley as a gentle valley.

The Duke of Caberna is located on the slopes of the west bank of the valley.

Unlike the Earls of Meadow and Tassiek, the castle of Duke Caberna is not located in the center of the city, but is located on the commanding heights of the hillside on the westernmost side of the city. The entire nobles' untouchable settlement area is a huge dock along the hillside to the bank of the Tassier River.

The population of the nobles at the bottom of the valley in the upper reaches of the Tasir River is said to be about 20,000. It is the second largest port in the north of the empire after Tasir and the dividing line between the Kingdom of the North Wind and the God-given Land. The direct Knights left by Duke Caberna alone have a size of as many as 60 people.

From then on, the vast majority of the territorial nobles were direct vassals of the Emperor of the Holy Empire.

Anyone who wants to go up the river to the land of God has to cross the entire Duke of Caberna, otherwise he will need to bypass the mountains on both sides of the valley, spending a lot of extra time and adding many marching dangers.

It is precisely because of this that the Duke of Carpena was called the gatekeeper of the God-given Land.

Whether it is the King of the East who has been in the 500-year-old money or Lu Yang now, they must pass here to reach the God-given land. The rebels passed here successfully without encountering obstacles. It can be said that they have obtained the first move for this battle.

After this, the Emperor of the Holy Empire wanted to copy the preemptive tactics 500 years ago and found traces of rebels in the endless wilderness of the God-given Land, as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

The Duke of Carpena himself did not go out with the army, but he sent a personal butler as his plenipotent representative, so the whole process of entering the city went very smoothly.

Through the report of the gatekeeper, Lu Yang learned that the Clippers who set out from the Black Islands six days ago were loaded with founding relics and were preparing to enter the port. Based on the principle of speed of soldiers, Lu Yang rejected the invitation of the Duke of Kabenna's housekeeper and drove to the dock as soon as possible to check the secret weapons transported by the Black Islands from thousands of miles away.

These secret weapons can be said to be the highest combat power of the entire holy empire except for the founding six artifacts.

However, before I saw the secret weapon of the Black Islands, the "Clipper" unloading goods at the dock scared Lu Yang first.

Lu Yang thought he would see some kind of Western-style three-masted sailboat, or Chinese sandboats or wide-sized ships. But he never expected that the Black Islands Clippers were actually a very "wasteland punk" style.

Because the wood strength of the plantation of the Rich Star is not strong enough, the Clipper does not have wooden keels and is only about 20 meters long. Its main load-bearing beam seems to be made of a huge long strip of Galaxy Federation metal material. The entire ship is also "built" around this metal beam, so it looks a bit crooked.

Although this ship also has three sails, it is equipped with two high-tech engines like small rocket boosters on both sides. Just looking at the appearance, Lu Yang seriously suspected that these two things should have been installed on some kind of spacecraft.

This mixed style of various era craftsmanship is very similar to the Constitution frigate in Fallout 4.

After seeing this thing, Lu Yang finally knew why the knights did not show excessive surprise at their off-road vehicles. There are still many more "weird" things in this world than off-road vehicles...
