Having heard Mu Changtian’s words, Lu Chen looked at the map and fell into deep thought once again.

This was indeed a problem. The Wanning Valley wasn’t long, and it wouldn’t be a big issue for the Barbarian Tribe’s cavalry to pass through quickly.

Once they used the grenade launchers, the Barbarian Tribe’s cavalry would surely fall into disarray; they would either charge forward or retreat backward.

No matter if the Barbarian Tribe’s cavalry charged forward or retreated, they would need a large number of soldiers to withstand the cavalry.

Of course, if they were only planning to repel the Barbarian Tribe’s soldiers, they would just need to hold the front of Wanning Valley.

However, Lu Chen had great ambitions; he wasn’t content with just repelling the Barbarian Tribe’s cavalry.

If they only repelled the Barbarian Tribe’s cavalry, the cavalry, failing to capture Yan County, would likely attack other cities instead.

His aim in this battle was to eliminate the living forces of the Barbarian Tribe, ensuring they wouldn’t be able to assemble forces and head south for a long time.

Therefore, these 300,000 men absolutely couldn’t be allowed to return.

If they were let go, once those Barbarian Tribe soldiers recovered, wouldn’t they head south again to plunder? Lu Chen certainly didn’t believe that grenade launchers could completely intimidate them.

Lu Chen had also heard about the situation in the north. Come winter, even North City would see many commoners starve to death, let alone those on the grasslands.

Lu Chen wasn’t sympathizing with the Barbarian Tribe; in his view, people on the verge of starvation were capable of anything, and the Barbarian Tribe wouldn’t fear heading south just because North City possessed grenade launchers.

Lu Chen sighed and said, “Hurry up with the recruitment.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Changtian still looked somewhat worried and said, “Prince, within such a short period, training new recruits to combat the Barbarian Tribe’s cavalry seems like a formidable challenge.”

Mu Changtians words were rather conservative; it was simply impossible to train soldiers to fight the Barbarian Tribe’s cavalry within two months.

Lu Chen understood this well and immediately said, “I plan to create an Artillery camp. The newly recruited soldiers won’t participate in frontal combat; this way, all 30,000 soldiers from North City can enter the frontlines.” Artillery camp?

What was that?

Hearing this new term from Lu Chen’s mouth, everyone felt confused; they had never heard of an Artillery camp before.

Lu Chen looked at Li Rui and said, “Prefecture Governor Li, 1’11 have to trouble you with this matter. You need to collaborate with General Li and others and quickly recruit ten thousand new soldiers.”

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Li Rui immediately said, “Yes, Prince.”

Li Rui sighed inwardly; he had intended to suggest that the North Prince should retreat southward, but from the tone of North Prince, there appeared to be no intention to retreat.

If he proposed a southern retreat at this time, wouldn’t he offend the North Prince?

Li Rui couldn’t help but think, what good would recruiting ten thousand more soldiers do? Not to mention ten thousand soldiers, even if they recruited an additional hundred thousand new recruits, it wouldn’t be enough to stop the Barbarian Tribe’s iron cavalry.

Although he thought this, Li Rui didn’t dare to voice it out directly; after all, the North Prince was a Seignior, and he was merely the lord of North City.

At this moment, Lu Chen looked at the map on the table and said, “After the Artillery camp is formed, this prince will show you the new weapons of North Prince Mansion.”

Hearing this, everyone grew even more curious. The North Prince seemed very confident in his so-called new weapons, making one wonder what kind of new weapons they were that gave the North Prince the courage to fight the Barbarian Army at Yan County.

As curious as they were, they didn’t keep on asking. The North Prince said he would show them, so the main task now was to hurry up with the recruitment of soldiers and to form the new army as quickly as possible.

In the North Land, among the Barbarian Tribe’s royal courts.

Spread across the boundless grasslands, various sizes of felt tents, also known as Mongolian yurts, were scattered.

The closer to the center, the larger the Mongolian yurts became, with the largest belonging to one of the great kings of the Barbarian Tribe.

The Barbarian Tribe was widely dispersed across the grasslands, comprised of seven kings in total. The Sky Wolf King, situated due north of North City, was the one preparing to attack and planning to establish a nation in North City.

At this moment, a woman clad in animal skin rode her horse to the center of the yurt cluster.

Her skin was fair, her face delicately beautiful, a stark contrast to what one would expect of someone living on the grasslands.

After dismounting from her horse, she immediately asked her slave, “Has Wu Yuan returned?”

The slave at her side, whose face bore engraved characters, promptly replied, “He has returned, Princess.”

Upon hearing this, the woman hurried excitedly to a smaller Mongolian yurt next to the largest one, lifted the tent curtain, and found the man she had been muttering about just now had indeed returned.

At this point, the man named Wu Yuan was kneeling on the ground, reporting some intelligence to a breathtakingly beautiful woman.

Inside the yurt, an exquisitely beautiful woman lay half-stretched on the bed, her long, fair legs exposed. She wore lavish fur clothing and her entire body was adorned with glittering jewelry, presenting an image of seductive charm.

She was the most important woman within this branch of the Barbarian Tribe, the wife of the previous Sky Wolf King.

According to the customs of the Barbarian Tribe, after the death of the previous Sky Wolf King, she was to marry the current Sky Wolf King.

However, due to certain reasons, she had yet to marry, but she had already promised the current Sky Wolf King that if he could take over North City and establish a nation there, she would marry him and become his queen.

At this moment, the woman who entered the tent greeted respectfully, “My respects to the Queen.”

Although the stunning woman before them had not yet married the current Sky Wolf King, everyone recognized her as the Queen.

Yelv Nanyan glanced at Xiao Wenyao, then said softly, “Rise.”

Yelv Nanyan’s voice was incredibly gentle, making one feel as if they were basking in the spring breeze.

Xiao Wenyao, the woman who had entered the tent, was the daughter of the current Sky Wolf King, Xiao Hongbo. Originally, they had no surnames.

But in order to emulate Great Sum, all members of the Sky Wolf King’s clan had adopted surnames, and the royal family took the surname Xiao.

The name Xiao Wenyao was also given to her by the Queen, Yelv Nanyan, not long ago.

Yelv Nanyan’s attention returned to the man before her as she asked, “I heard that the Prince of North City is a lecherous man who spends all his days seeking pleasure in the Prince’s Mansion, having never involved himself in the affairs of North City since he went there. Is this true?”

Wu Yuan replied, “Indeed, it is so, Queen.”

Hearing the man’s answer, a smile appeared on Yelv Nanyan’s face, “Does this mean then, that for our great king’s southern campaign, North City is ripe for the taking?”

Wu Yuan cautioned, “Queen, although the North Prince is incompetent, the armies of Great Sum will not stand idly by. As soon as the great king launches his campaign, Great Sum will surely send a large force northward.”

Yelv Nanyan said indifferently, “By the time the Great Sum army arrives, the great king will have already solidified his foothold in North City. Besides, internal strife is about to erupt within Great Sum, and the Sum Emperor will not have enough resources to deal with us.”

At this point, Xiao Wenyao interjected, “Queen, if we capture North City and manage to catch the North Prince, may I have him? I’ve heard he is exceptionally handsome, and I would like him to be my slave..”
