Magic Mech Wars Steel Torrent-Chapter 91 The Journey of Experience
Chapter 91 - 91 The Journey of Experience
Two days later.
After staying for two more days as long as possible and sneaking into different military camps again to understand the situation, Sulian had lost interest in the Kingdom of Rankow.
It can only be said that most of the troops of theirs that are stationed at the front line are basically useless.
Not to mention that military officer before, maybe he was an exception.
But in other military camps, there were even people using knight mechas to dry clothes. Sulian really couldn't stand it and threw a fireball from a distance to burn all the dried clothes.
What on earth is this?
I don't care if your military discipline is poor, but if you dare to treat knight mechas like this, I have to teach you a lesson!
...
The army group permanently stationed at the front line still has some capabilities.
At least when Sulian tried to sneak in at night, he was discovered three times. In the end, he only managed to deal with an officer with the strength of a fourth-level Starlight Warrior.
After roughly understanding the situation of the people and the military in the Kingdom of Rankow, he came to the border between Rankow and the Kingdom of Sbai.
It should be said, the former border.
Because here, there was only a tilted and broken boundary marker.
"Being in constant war for years, the border has long been blurred. Only the places where the army is stationed can be regarded as the border," Sulian couldn't help but sigh.
He looked around and found smoke rising in the distance. According to the map already recorded in his mind, it should be a village.
He just didn't know how many people would still be living in a village in such an area.
"If I still have time later, I can visit such a village or a small town," Sulian decided.
It was time to set off for the next stop, the Kingdom of Sbai.
Among the three kingdoms he planned to conquer, this was the kingdom he cared about the most.
...
The Kingdom of Sbai.
It is a completely landlocked country, but it only borders four countries, namely the Kingdom of Aivisu, the Kingdom of Rankow, the Kingdom of Vinor, and the Military Dominion of Finkan. At the same time, at the outermost edge of the southeastern region, it is also very close to the powerful Empire
of Kenrimei.
Even in a war decades ago, the entire Kingdom of Sbai was once invaded by the Empire of Kenrimei.
However, their king still rose up in resistance with the help of the Kingdom of Vinor. Unfortunately, after the success, he was betrayed and killed by the Kingdom of Vinor, and the entire Kingdom of Sbai was invaded again.
At the same time, the Kingdom of Rankow in the east was also invaded by the Military Dominion of Finkan.
In the end, it led to a three-party scuffle among the Empire of Kenrimei, the Military Dominion of Finkan, and the Kingdom of Vinor. It also gave the royal families of Rankow and Sbai an opportunity to resist. They regrouped the remaining troops from various places and finally restored their countri
es with the covert help of the Kingdom of Aivisu.
It can be said that, like the Kingdom of Rankow, this place has always been a land of strife.
There are power games among kingdoms, military dominions, and even empires!
If Sulian were to conquer this place in the future, he would inevitably face the Military Dominion of Finkan and the Kingdom of Vinor, which is his second target.
At the same time...
It will also be close to the Empire of Kenrimei.
...
Sulian's original plan was that after conquering the Kingdom of Sbai, he would directly force their remaining troops to the east to face the Kingdom of Vinor. He would use their remaining troops to resist the threat from the Kingdom of Vinor.
Due to the previous betrayal by the Kingdom of Vinor, the possibility of them joining the Kingdom of Vinor and launching a counterattack was the lowest.
In this way, he only needed to directly face the Military Dominion of Finkan in the south.
The pressure at the beginning of the founding of the country would naturally be much less.
So, the most crucial point was to control their remaining troops. Ensure that they would not affect the subsequent control of the people in the country, would not be easily defeated by the Kingdom of Vinor, and would not have the possibility of making a comeback!
...
"I have to understand the situation from the west all the way to the east. If I still have time in the end, I may need to come back here to feel the most severely war-torn area. It's really a troublesome thing," Sulian sighed, but he equipped himself with the external beast leg bone and started his
run for the day.
His goal was still the same, the Adventurer's Guild of the Kingdom of Sbai.
The methods he used would not change much. First, he would understand the general livelihood situation of the whole country through adventurers, and then obtain relevant assassination tasks through the Adventurer's Guild to personally judge the military or political situation of this country.
He could personally feel everything about this country in all the cities, small towns, and villages he passed by.
There were still adventurers who were willing to attack a twelve-year-old child for the sake of profit;
There was still the Adventurer's Guild that gave assassination tasks to him, a new adventurer, for the sake of profit;
There were still similar military personnel and nobles.
Even...
In this country, he witnessed the debauched scenes with his own eyes.
The eyes of the ragged women on the street were empty. A passing man only needed to take out the cheapest copper coins to get the result he wanted.
In the slums, there were even hungry and thin children and emaciated beggars.
And the place where these scenes took place was, ironically, one of the top ten cities in the Kingdom of Sbai.
As a result, Sulian felt a little regretful.
He regretted not staying longer in the big cities of the Kingdom of Rankow and not paying more attention to how dirty and pitiful the scenes were behind the splendor of their cities.
...
Sulian stood at a crossroads. The hungry and poor people around him cast mostly fearful looks at him, a strange child dressed in excellent equipment.
In that fear, there was curiosity, envy, and longing.
Complex and indescribable expressions.
"What on earth am I expecting?" Sulian raised his head slightly and sighed.
War always brings nothing but misfortune.
The empire always leaves behind the seeds of war.

In the places ravaged by war, where is there any true glorious happiness and beauty? Where are there any perfect and carefree laughter and joy?
Only...
To stop war with war!
...
He passed through the slums.
He didn't leave any money or food behind because he knew it was meaningless. It was just to satisfy a momentary kindness.
On the other side of the street, there was another tranquil world.
...
"Delicious steaks!"
"Does anyone want fresh fruits? They were just picked from the mountain forest this morning!"
"Hey! That handsome masked guy over there, do you want to take a look at the good things in our weapon shop? They are definitely of high quality and low price!"
On the other side of the slums, there was such a bustling street.
Unfortunately, the people on the other side could only look at all this. Even setting foot here would be a sin.
Because they had an indelible brand on them - commoners.
Sulian calmly walked into the weapon shop, gave a silver coin, and then started to select things on his own.
The shopkeeper seemed to have seen something and had no intention of disturbing him.
"This weapon is good. How much is the marked price?" Sulian asked, holding a short sword.
"It only costs fifteen gold coins," the shopkeeper immediately smiled.
Sulian knew that this price was at least tripled because the cost of this sword was less than one gold coin. Considering the forging cost and the price of the middleman, five gold coins was already the limit.
"Here are the gold coins," Sulian still paid the money.
"Thank you for your patronage," the shopkeeper took the money with a big smile.
"Shopkeeper, what do you think of the current Kingdom of Sbai?" Sulian asked.
"Do you want to hear my honest opinion, the words that the kingdom wants to hear, or the words that someone else wants to hear?" The shopkeeper obviously had already prepared for being questioned.
"Yours," Sulian said directly.
"That's simple. The current kingdom is rubbish. The taxes are extremely high, and they keep trying to force my son to join the army every day. If I hadn't bribed the military department, he would have been taken away long ago," the shopkeeper answered truthfully.
"Oh? Aren't you afraid that I'm from the kingdom?" Sulian was a little confused.
He thought the shopkeeper's answer might be more roundabout, at least to the extent of making veiled accusations. But it was so straightforward, which really surprised him.
"Would someone from the kingdom come out of the slums?" the shopkeeper smiled.
Sulian was stunned for a moment and then smiled.
"Hmph... Hahaha!"
It was a somewhat inexplicable laugh, but it was so natural, and even a bit refreshing.
...
Yeah.
How could the filthy slums be a place that the lords of the kingdom would set foot in?
You know...
It was a place where even ordinary residents were unwilling to give a pitiful glance.
Perhaps only those hypocritical and stupid people, with a heart that didn't know whether it was kind or not, could walk through such a place.
...
"I'll take this sword. At the same time, I wish your child can inherit your family business instead of going to the battlefield," Sulian left with such an ordinary wish.
"Take care, young man," the shopkeeper said warmly.
But he didn't say words like "Welcome to come again next time".
Maybe he forgot, or maybe...
He understood something.
After leaving the shop, he walked normally on the bustling street, witnessing the most prosperous scene of this country.
Finally, he slowly left in silence, as if he had never been here.
...
On October 21st, in the year 3250 of the Valer Calendar.
The short journey of experience in the Kingdom of Rankow and the Kingdom of Sbai came to an end.
It lasted for seventeen days.
The infiltration and combat he wanted to hone were completely on his own; he personally witnessed and collected the livelihood information he wanted; and he also personally experienced and obtained the military information he wanted.
It can only be said...
These two countries are extremely terrible. They are extremely terrible from beginning to end!
Whether it's the glorious big cities or the barren small villages on the border, one can't feel the vitality and vigor that a country should have. The desperate people are still desperate, and the happy people are worried. Only the powerful who are high above enjoy everything.
...
Sulian rode a magical beast horse again and looked back at the easternmost city of the Kingdom of Sbai. This was his last look back.
The next time he came, it would no longer be an undercover visit.
It would be...
A triumphant arrival!
...
"Let's take a look at the place where the two countries meet for the last time. It's about time to return from there according to the arrangement," Sulian muttered to himself.
The last stop of this journey of experience was still in accordance with the decision he made before.
He also knew very well in his heart that it was the place to finally strengthen his belief.
Only by seeing the cruelty of war would he want to end this hateful war even more, and he could look forward to that unrealistic dream more firmly!
Only then...
He wouldn't be swayed by the momentary beauty in that country.
And the great country that is almost impossible to achieve in his ideal.
Will surely rise on this land!
