LORD WORLD: START

CHAPTER 29: THE FOOD GATHERING ATTACK

Everyone stared at Kanko curiously, especially Myro because the Final City development plan was an important part of Myro's plan. At least he planned to make the Final City as his main fortress in the future, therefore the failure and success of the construction of the fort was very influential on Myro's plans in the future.

"Kanko, tell me what you mean? Even if the bandits disrupted the city building process, my Knight army and the Welvaart Chamber Caravan were more than enough to withstand their attacks" Myro said confidently, after all, all the troops in the Welvaart Chamber of Commerce were elites who had been trained according to the rules of the chamber of commerce escort division. For that reason, Myro believed in the hundreds of bodyguards Luxa brought, especially the old man who always followed Luxa from behind.

Kanko replied hesitantly "Prince, to be honest what scares the End City most is not bandits, after all this place is notoriously poor so the bandits realize there is nothing to take here. What most threatened the prince's city-building plan was what the Atroph Province bandits feared. Not only that, many residents of Atrof Province are also worried about their attacks, namely the barbarians who border our province now".

Hearing what was feared was the barbarian army, everyone's faces became cautious.

Myro also became gloomy, he understood how big the matter was when it came to barbarian troops.

Actually, the barbarian territory is not a kingdom but a collection of tribes that respect power. Every day, there were tribes in the barbarian region who fought each other to fight for or expand power, they did not hesitate to destroy other tribes as long as they could become the strongest tribe.

As long as the Golden Guardian Kingdom used their full strength, it would certainly not be a matter of destroying the entire barbarian tribe, let alone they were separated from each other which made it easy to defeat them.

The problem was that there were many strong fighters in the barbarian tribe, all the troops there were also mad about blood and war. More precisely all the men in the barbarian tribe could definitely fight, not to mention the terrain of the barbarian tribe that was not well known by the kingdom. For that reason, the Golden Guardian Kingdom had no interest in taking a huge loss only to the barbarian territory that was not necessarily profitable, however they had never heard of any valuable resources in the barbarian region such as minerals.

Seeing Myro's confusion, Kanko explained "Prince, the climate in the barbarian territory is different from ours, they should soon be in the winter which means 1 thing, 1 thing, they needed food so that their tribe would not starve. But the barbarians were poor for food, most of the tribes there refused to farm and only hunted for food to live. So, when winter came, they must have been starved of food which caused them to need to collect food".

"Food gathering?" said Myro who seemed to be beginning to understand the meaning of Kanko's words.

But before Kanko went on to explain, Luxa shouted loudly "Food Collection, I remember! In the Welvaart Chamber of Commerce last year also spread this news, when winter arrives, some tribes in the barbarian region will walk through the mountains and make a raid towards the surrounding kingdom, especially the Frave Kingdom and Golden Guardian Kingdom which were the closest territories. They attack towns or villages to get food and some of the population there, then return to their territory again if they feel the amount of food obtained is enough to get through the winter".

"The 2 kingdoms border troops have certainly tried many times to withstand food gathering attacks from barbarian tribes every year. But there was a big problem that the Atroph Province Mountains were too large, some barbarian tribes managed to pass through unguarded areas and stormed several villages and towns and fled before the border troops arrived".

"I'm not sure when the exact time of the barbarian region is approaching winter, but at most it should be another month. For this reason, the barbarian attack would disrupt the development of the prince's Late City".

Myro began to think carefully "What did the bandits do when the barbarians passed through their territory, the Atroph Province Mountains? Moreover, how many enemy troops are attacking each year? Do you remember it? How did the tribe force attack?".

Kanko thought for a while before replying hesitantly "Based on what I know, every barbarian moves, the bandits decide to hide, and the, they did not dare to go head-to-head against the barbarians knowing how frightening the power they had was. While the number of them attacked, every year, the invading barbarians were in the number of 500 to 2000 people, they were all on foot because it was impossible to pass through the mountain on horseback unless there was a special road that was indeed made for horses. Even so, every barbarian has frightening strength".

"I've heard from the border troops who used to guard here, he prefers to fight the lion and Golden Guardian Kingdom troops with the same strength rather than having to fight barbarians of the same strength".

Lokof suddenly spoke up "Master, what do we need to do?".

Myro closed his eyes for a while to think under everyone's curious gaze.

Slowly opening his eyes, Myro made the decision "The Final City's construction continues, I leave all the building process to you, Uncle Hughes".

"I see, Mr. Myro", Hughes said bowing respectfully "In addition to making the City of End a luxury city worthy of the title of a trading city, which he called a city, I must have made the Late City strong enough to be called an invincible fortress by all our enemies".

"Luxa, I hope you stay here until the construction of the Final City is complete! You can go back to the center of the Welvaart Chamber of Commerce considering that you are a section chairman, you must be busy" Myro said, changing his plans "But let at least 100 men you brought here to guard the city while I'm gone".

Luxa nodded "I see, Luxa can wait here until the Final City is completed. Besides, the other chiefs have also agreed so I don't mind helping the master guard the city. The thing is, what are you planning to do with Brother Myro? Where are you going as long as I'm guarding the city?".
