    Chapter 3 Rise in the Northland

    At this point, the war has entered the fiercest, bloodiest, and most physically exhausting close-range fighting.  The barbarians in the front row will be pierced by several spears at the same time.  With extremely poor blacksmithing skills, few of them are equipped with metal armor.  Most of them only have coat-level leather armor made of animal skins.  Such armor is completely unable to withstand the spearmen's all-out thrusts - but these rough-skinned guys have a ruthlessness that ordinary people don't have.

    Some guys were stabbed in the heart or neck and died on the spot.  But some guys were not fatally injured.  In this way, with several wounds being shot on their bodies, they tried their best to pull on the barrel of the gun with their hands, preventing the spearmen from wielding the weapon smoothly.

    At the same time, when they are on the verge of death, they will burst out with the last strength of their lives, raise the tomahawk in their hands, and slash hard at the barrel of the gun - this behavior will also worsen the wound a lot at once.  After all this tossing, the barbarian warrior will probably die.

    There are also some more advanced ones - or those who are more afraid of death. The barbarian warriors equipped with rough chain armor and holding two-handed giant axes are even more difficult to deal with.  The barrel of the pewter rod is indeed not easy to cut off.  But it will be swept aside by the giant axe.  As a result, there will be a vacancy in the gun array.  Influxed by these elite warriors.

    Although, these guys who are more capable of fighting will basically be taken care of in the next moment, and their heads will be smashed with a bullet from the musketeers trapped in the gun array.  But in this way, the formation of the phalanx became a little looser.  This little bit of looseness gave the barbarian a huge encouragement.  They believe that as long as they continue to attack like this.  The iron hedgehog shell of the spear phalanx will eventually be pierced, chipped, and then all killed.

    And on the flanks of the phalanx, an even more brutal fight was taking place.  The heavily armed swordsmen faced several times the number of enemies. With their skilled fighting skills, they wielded their long swords to chop or stab. The steel round shields were cut out of shape immediately and were discarded.  The swordsmen tried to swing their swords with both hands. Although the speed and flexibility were slightly reduced, the lethality was greatly increased.  Under the slash of the long sword, heads rolled on the snow.  There was a lot of wailing.

    In this way, the brutal fighting lasted for nearly three hours. During this period, there were several times when the gun array was damaged due to mistakes. At this time, the spearman who was disrupted would pull out the sword from his waist.  Slash violently.  Some of the heavily armored knights deployed on both wings at the same time mounted their horses, waving heavy weapons such as flails, scepters, and fangs, and plunged into the battlefield and waved them wildly, leaving a mess wherever they went.

    That¡¯s not all.  The heavily armored knights holding scepters also cast magic at close range under the cover of their comrades.  The four-kilogram scepter in their hands is both a weapon and a magic wand.  Most of these knights in the North are water magicians, and a small number are wind magicians.  Children who grow up in the wind and snow of the North are really not worth it.  With an average height of over 1.85 meters, the sturdy figure can completely scare those sissies who grew up in temperate zones to death.

    And their magic also completely broke the saying that water and wind elements are not good at fighting.  Under the ice and snow, water magic is greatly enhanced, and an ice arrow is as big as a crossbow.  Casting a Hailstorm can cause a storm.  The more powerful second-level magician used the ice breathing magic in a dangerous way.  In the weather where dripping water turns into ice, this kind of magic has been enhanced the most - the icy blue gas instantly covered everything within a radius of fifteen meters, turning dozens of enemies into ice sculptures.  After that, the knights grinned and waved their heavy weapons, smashing the ice sculptures into pieces.

    "To these people, they are firstly a snow wolf, secondly a Northlander, and thirdly a magician - as for nobles, ha, they can't be eaten.

    After two such heavy knight raids in a row, the battle line stabilized again. After such a long period of fighting, the enemy was out of breath and looked like he was dying.  There were even two small-scale routs during this period.  However, they were all put down by the Royal Guards commanded by Grand Duke Ross.  The thick-spine steel knife was stained with the blood of his own people.

    I made some calculations, and then revealed a charming smile: "Raise my flag, the light lancers, and the remaining heavy knights to attack the enemy's flanks - attack across the board and kill them all."

    Immediately afterwards, the trumpeters around them held their breath and blew their horns continuously until all the air in their lungs was blown out.  At the same time, the two flag bearers beside me worked together to erect a huge four-meter-long flag.  Above the white characters on a black background, the ever-ferocious winter wolf with blood-red eyes, baring its fangs and claws, is exactly what has been my signature since I came to this world, the flag of the head of the Fenrir Wolf Knights of the Far North.

    "Wright Baldwin is here, gentlemen and brothers of the Knights, follow me to kill the enemy."

      With the amplification magic, my loud and slightly childish voice spread across the battlefield.  The soldiers of the Knights were greatly inspired and worked harder.  In contrast, the barbarians were frightened.  The military situation is on the verge of collapse.

    After that, the light lancers deployed on both wings also took action. Armed with short-barreled large-caliber shotguns, light lances and sabers hanging on their sides, and wearing sleeveless light plate armor and full-coverage helmets, they began to charge.  The cavalryman in the front row quickly pulled the trigger - the iron sand, broken iron fragments, and iron nails loaded in the shotgun spurted out, forming a fan-shaped attack surface.  Beat multiple enemies into a sieve.

    After that, the cavalry dropped their shotguns, grabbed their lances and rushed into the enemy formation. The hollow pointed lances broke within seconds after piercing the enemy's body.  Throws the enemy several meters away.  It looked absolutely hopeless.  At this time, there was a loud sound of broken spears on both sides of the battlefield, but the light lancers were unmoved. They released their hands, turned around, drew their sabers, and continued to charge, slashing while charging. At this time, the second wave of lancers approached again.  Defeat the remaining survivors and the enemies in the second row.

    At this point, the enemy's flanks were hit hard, and at the same time, seeing my flag raised, their morale suddenly disappeared, and the army was defeated like a mountain.  The remaining eight thousand barbarian warriors threw away their helmets and armor and ran towards the back.  The Grand Duke of Rus killed several deserters one after another, but he was unable to save himself.  He was also taken away by his subordinates and ran away.

    At this point, all members of the Knights turned from defense to offense. The gunners dropped their long guns, drew their swords and rushed into the enemy formation. The rangers who had been ambushed in advance also rushed out from the mountains and forests behind, also using short-barreled shotguns.  The gun fired fiercely.

    The dizzy barbarian warriors didn't recognize how many enemies there were at all - they didn't even know their direction, they were stumbling around like a swarm of flies.  In the end, only a handful of lucky guys escaped, and the remaining 12,000 barbarian warriors died in the battle together with the Grand Duke of Ross.  The main force of the barbarians was completely wiped out.

    In this battle, five thousand elites of the Wolf Knights faced thirteen thousand barbarians.  In the end, they won a complete victory, beheading more than 4,000 people and capturing more than 7,000 alive.  Less than one-tenth of the enemy escaped.  However, in such a severe winter, with no supplies and no direction, how many of them can return to their tribe alive is a big question.

    Because we didn¡¯t have any extra food, only a small number of barbarian captives were left behind and sent to work in the mines.  The remaining savages were all beheaded.  The bodies were burned.  After lacking enough young and middle-aged people, the barbarian tribe with only old, weak, fu and children will die more in winter.  And the death of the Grand Duke of Ross will make the entire Ross Plain become a mess.  The powerful tribes will fight together for the title of Grand Duke.  It will no longer threaten us.

    "It's over, the days when barbarians ruled this land are over." I said with emotion as the sun set, looking at the messy battlefield.

    "Yes, so many warriors have died, and there is no Grand Duke. The barbarians are going to be in trouble for a while." A young alpha wolf next to me said this.

    I nodded, hummed, and said nothing.

    "Grand leader, what should we do next?" the alpha wolf asked.

    "Listen." I smiled confidently: "I have a plan."

    The wolf nodded and looked at me seriously.

    "I want to unify all the settlements in the border area and form a country." I said: "We already have this ability. My brother - our knights are already the largest in the entire border area.  Military power. And after killing the Barbarian Duke this time, our reputation will reach its peak. Backed by force, the remaining settler towns must join us. And those villages will be more willing to accept our protection."

    "A country? Are we going to build a country? Can we really do it?" The wolf was very excited.  And I don't know when the wolf knights who gathered around me also looked at me excitedly.

    "Of course it's a country for the Northlanders, a country for the Fenrir wolves, our country" I shouted loudly.  The extremely excited wolf knights also followed my crazy shouts to vent their excitement.

    "Long live Grand Master Wright Baldwin of the Fenrir Wolf Knights." After a while, the soldiers in the distance also cheered.

    A month later, news of the Wolf Knights¡¯ victory spread throughout the borderlands.  The Wolf Knights also began an expansion campaign, openly sending wolves to every autonomous town to take over power.  Enact laws and levy taxes.  A very small number of rebels were brutally punished, and were accused of being vampires, unscrupulous nobles, and parasites, and were hanged on the towers.

    After that, I spent about a year working on?This new nation.  To be honest, except for the harsh climate, the other conditions here are extremely good.  fertile black land.  Rich forests, mineral resources, and hard-working and simple people.  Although the population is slightly smaller.  But because of the recent war in Germania.  Therefore, disaster victims immigrate here every day.  The strength of the Knights Kingdom increased accordingly.

    At the same time, the Russian barbarians, who had suffered a double blow from defeat and internal discord, had no choice but to lay their heads on me.  One by one, the tribes walked out of the mountains and forests and accepted the aid supplies from the Knights.  And swear allegiance to me.  In this way, the population problem of the Knights Country can be solved.

    Over the next two years.  I am not as involved in Germania's political situation as most people imagine.  On the contrary, apart from opening trade channels with other countries, we have not conducted any diplomatic activities of an alliance nature.

    The Kingdom of the Knights is recovering and recuperating, and is continuously importing the crops, wood, fur, and iron it produces into neighboring countries, in exchange for various technical support, as well as a large amount of gold and other hard currencies.  After this, new gold and silver coins began to circulate, national banks were established, and the financial system was improved.  A large number of factories began to be built.  The entire Kingdom of the Knights is thriving.

    At the same time, armaments construction is also proceeding in an orderly manner. The Northlanders and naturalized barbarians are both extremely excellent soldiers. After the modern scientific training I set and the instillation of religious and honorary beliefs, an armed force has been formed.  Good, a well-trained army was born.  The airship construction technology taken from other countries has also come in handy. The air force with twenty-five battleships has become an air force that cannot be underestimated by other countries.

    A few years ago, the covenant I signed with the Arctic Frost Dragon also came in handy. After spending a lot of money and jewels, a force of two hundred dragon knights was armed.  As the rapid strike force of the Knights Kingdom.  In addition, the Frost Dragon also promised that if needed, it would come to the battlefield in accordance with the covenant and provide me with strong support - of course, not for free.

    In the fourth year, the Knights revealed their fangs and claws and showed their terrifying power to the countries on the mainland. In the main grain-producing area in the south of the Knights country, several divided small countries in the Bo River Plain became  The prey of the Wolf of the North.  After two months of furious conquest, the Knights annexed the entire Bo River Plain with unimaginably low casualties.  After that, the land and population of the Knights Kingdom doubled in an instant, becoming an emerging power on the continent.

    After this, the other ancient kingdoms took a closer look at this emerging country.  I know now is the time to make a decision.

    Three days after the annexation of the Bo River Plain, a total of two envoys headed to Germania and Romania respectively.  Expressing goodwill to the Germanian Emperor Albrecht III and the Romanian Pope.  And expressed firm support for the imperial power of Albrecht III.

    In the next year, the Knights made great achievements in the civil war in Germania, defeating the armies of three electors one after another, and completely annihilating the Bohemian princely state. After this operation  During the war, the Knights took no money and handed over all the territories and castles they occupied to Albrecht III.  All the spoils were given to the Romanian Pope.

    At this point, the emerging Kingdom of the Knights was finally recognized, and Albrecht III, whose direct territory was greatly expanded, generously gave me the qualification to be the candidate of Bohemia.  At the same time, the Romanian Pope also agreed to crown me.

    After that, the Kingdom of the Knights became history, the emerging country was renamed the Principality of Prussia, the Fenrir Wolf Knights became the Royal Knights, and I went to Romania for pilgrimage and coronation. Everything was as I expected, relaxed and happy.
