Lord of Riders

Chapter 289



The army walked for a long time and basically had no personal shadow. There are still few residents in such a harsh environment. The residents of saland Sultanate are relatively dense in the southwest near rodoc Kingdom, and the environment near turga is even worse, with few residents.

"Report! Your majesty, a village with an estimated population of 300 or 400 people has been found ahead!" Shao Yu led the army on the land of saland Sultanate, and the scouts in front came back to report

"How far is it?" Shaoyu asked

"An hour\'s journey at full speed," replied the Scout

"Order the soldiers to speed up and try to get to the village before dark!" Shaoyu ordered

The soldiers quickened their March when they received the order. After nearly two hours, the soldiers of Shaoming Kingdom finally arrived at the village found by the scouts.

It was evening and the sun was about to set. When Shaoyu led the army into the village, he found that there were basically not many people in the village.

There are no three or four hundred people mentioned by the scouts at all. At most, there are less than 100 people in this village. At first glance, I knew the enemy was coming, and they all ran away. But when Shaoyu entered the village, someone greeted him.

An old man in a simple gray robe greeted him.

"My Lord, I am the elder of this village. There are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people in our village. I don\'t know what adults want. We try our best to hope that adults can let our village go." the old village head looked haggard and thin. His eyes were full of fear.

Looking at the old man, Shaoyu was silent for a while. Originally, Shaoyu had no hostility to these civilians. They were not enemies, and killing them was meaningless. And it is estimated that these desert residents can\'t have anything valuable, if any. I\'m afraid it\'s tons of sand.

"What I want to say is that I have no hostility to you, because from now on, this is the territory of our kingdom of Shaoming. You just need to live your own life. The army of the kingdom of Shaoming will provide you with protection. Anyone who dares to attack or rule you is challenging the Kingdom of Shaoming and violating the sovereignty of the kingdom of Shaoming. What do you say The words reached every villager, and the money was even for your relief. "Shao Yu directly expressed his will with the elder. Then he took out a money bag containing hundreds of dinars, a large money bag, and threw it to the elder

The money bag fell in front of the elder. The elder stooped down and picked it up, his face several times.

Shaoyu then went straight into the village. The elders had already prepared rooms for them. This is not a good house, but some simple houses. It seems that the big bed with wool quilt and animal skin cushion has been prepared long ago. This is the best room in the village

The elder knew that a big man might come to the village. Although the other party was an enemy country, the elder dared not offend. In this era, the other party could kill everyone in the whole village with one word. The elder dared not neglect and let all the young people in the village run away. Only some old and weak women and children stayed in the village to see what would happen. It is not impossible for the other party to plunder the village directly, or kill all the people in the village directly.

But the elder was glad that Shao Yu had no intention of hostility, but generously gave him hundreds of dinars of gold coins. Of course, Shao Yu also made it clear that it is for the villagers to improve their lives.

Shao Yu said that later, the village belonged to the kingdom of Shaoming, and the elders did not raise any objection. Of course, it was useless and foolish to raise objections. Originally, these territories were occupied by whoever occupied them. A large army of more than 40000 people was stationed next to the village. They set up a camp here. There were linen tents equipped with the army. Linen was imported from Nord Kingdom and Swadian kingdom. Shaoming Kingdom did not produce linen, but they finally processed linen into linen tents and cushions. Although it is still hard and uncomfortable, it is always better than sleeping directly on the ground.

The soldiers rested all night in the tent. The next day, Shao Yu did not continue to stay in the village. Shao Yu found some people with convenient legs and feet in the village as guides and led the army to march towards a nearby town in saland Sultanate

After the evacuation of Hakim Sultan, he retreated to a town not far from Shaoyu\'s resting village, amerad. There is a castle next to amerad, Fort Samara.

Shao Yu\'s current destination is Samara fort.

Samara fort and amerad are very close, which can be said to be the legendary power of forming horns with each other. One place is attacked and the other can be quickly assisted, so the defensive nature of this area is fairly good.

Shao Yu left the village and walked for a few hours. Samara Fort appeared in front of Shao Yu.

Hajim Sultan had long received the news that Shao Yu led the army to attack. This was beyond hajim Sultan\'s expectation. Hajim Sultan did not expect that Shaoming kingdom should catch up with saland Sultanate. Originally, I thought Shaoyu would go back after fighting back his attack for the kujit Khanate. Unexpectedly, the kingdom of Shaoming invaded saland directly. It seems that Shao Yu doesn\'t intend to let saland go easily.

Hakim knew that he might have angered Shaoming Kingdom this time, so he was afraid and regretted. Originally, it was good for them to watch the fire from the shore, but Hakim realized that if they could not strengthen the strength of saland Sultanate, although they could protect themselves in a short time, it would not be long before saland was likely to be eaten by one side after the struggle between the two powerful powers of Shaoming Kingdom and the Anglo Empire, and the victorious side was likely to unify the continent of karadia.

In this regard, Hakim Sultan still has a long-term vision. In fact, many people can see that Shaoming Kingdom and Anglo empire will be the main rulers of kaladia in the future. One of them annexed the kingdom of vegia and the other annexed the kingdom of rodoc. Now either of the two countries is much more than other countries on the continent of karadia.

Sultan Hakim knew that the army of Shaoming kingdom had strong combat effectiveness, but he didn\'t expect it to be so strong.

Now Shao Yu personally led his main forces to attack the Sultanate of saland. King harlaus did not dare to slack off. He quickly mobilized the defenders of the surrounding castles and gathered 5000 people to guard Samara castle. At the same time, some troops in dukuba city were mobilized, together with the 10000 defeated troops brought back by Sultan Hakim and the 10000 garrison of amerad, and then a group of newly recruited recruits and mercenaries were gathered to reluctantly organize a garrison of 30000 troops to garrison amerad.
