Lord of Riding and Slashing

Chapter 464 Money Can't Buy Loyalty

Because of the protection and location of the waters, the nobles in the east of the United Kingdom of Calvi do not need to consider the attack of the Demon Kingdom for the time being, but it is impossible for them to support the nobles of Calvi in ​​the west. Some people even complained that It was because of those western nobles that the Calvi United Kingdom got into trouble with the recently rising Demon Kingdom.

If they hadn't gone to support the Kingdom of Orilo last time, the Kingdom of Demon would not have attacked them easily. Although they knew very well that after Nord made the declaration of unifying the continent, the pace of war was inevitable, but blame The public opinion of Western aristocrats has always existed.

Because this is their old tradition, as long as they criticize the western aristocrats of Calvi, they will be welcomed in the east of the United Kingdom of Calvi. To the point of fighting, but it is simply impossible for them to help each other.

Turbo City, which had no reinforcements, did not resist for many days. Under the crazy attack of the Demon Kingdom, the mercenaries in the city suddenly rebelled after holding on for a few days, and dedicated the city gate directly to the Demon Kingdom As a congratulatory gift, because the mercenaries in the city discovered during the battle that the soldiers who fought with them were very familiar.

Because the people Marko sent to attack the city were the Besse mercenaries who had taken refuge before. These mercenaries accounted for two-thirds of the troops under Marko's command, and they were very familiar with the cities of the United Kingdom of Calvi, so these mercenaries Soldiers who have transformed into soldiers are the best candidates for attacking the city.

When fighting on the city wall, the battle was actually not very fierce, because when they were fighting, they would meet acquaintances from time to time, because they were all mercenaries under the nobles of Calvi before, and they usually looked down and did not look up. Everyone is very familiar with it.

Even though they have become enemies now, they are more or less friendly, so when they meet familiar people, they will inevitably show mercy, and then those mercenaries from the United Kingdom of Calvi discovered that their former friends were in Germany. The Mongolian Kingdom is not bad at mixing, at least in terms of equipment and mental outlook, it is very different from before.

This made the mercenaries in the city very envious. Before, they were still discussing how the soldiers who took refuge in the Demon Kingdom were treated, whether it was better than now, and whether the Demon Kingdom would really accept them. It is a problem that the mercenaries in the city need to consider.

Therefore, the battle on the city wall gradually changed. Maybe after a day's battle, the casualties of the soldiers were very small. Even in the corners of the city wall, some mercenary regiment leaders were talking blatantly. After the mercenaries who took refuge in the Demon Kingdom told the situation, the mercenaries in the city were very envious.

Because I haven't seen each other for half a month, my former friends have become nobles in the Kingdom of Demon, and I heard from them that the King of Nord promised them that as long as they can make meritorious service in the battle against the United Kingdom of Calvi, the titles of these mercenary captains will be awarded. It can be mentioned above, and even becoming a baron is not a problem.

You must know that the number of barons in the Kingdom of Demon is also very small, and most of them are officers. Although the barons have no fiefs, they will receive a large amount of offerings from the kingdom every year. A baron's annual offerings are no less than one hundred gold coins. This figure is far greater than the tax revenue of a barony. It can be said that it is a win-win situation for the kingdom and the nobles. What Nord weakened was the right of nobles to control, and did not reduce their income. Instead, in order to make up for them, Nord also increased some .

But Nord is not at a loss, because if the land is in the hands of Nord, it can obtain greater value. If all the territories are managed in a unified manner, the benefits obtained by the Demon Kingdom will be higher, so Nord chose to sacrifice some of his own interests. It's nothing. Now, for Nord, the gold coin has become a number and has no other meaning. It's better to distribute it slowly so that those soldiers who have made great contributions to Nord can live a good life.

After learning about the treatment of the Demon Kingdom, the mercenaries in the city decisively chose to turn against the water, and then they united with the soldiers of the Demon Kingdom on the city wall, first wiped out the knights of the United Kingdom of Calvi who were watching the battle, and then opened The city gate of Turbo was opened, allowing the army of the Demon Kingdom to enter the city directly.

After those Turbo cities, Marco gradually became calm, and the impetuousness that he had not fought before disappeared. Before thinking under the city wall, Marco realized the responsibility on his shoulders. He is not only a German The soldiers of the Mongolian kingdom are the generals of this army. If he is impulsive, the troops under his command may be injured in the end.

Therefore, after taking Turbo City, Marco wanted to understand this problem. It is a good thing to be able to have a city without bloodshed, so that the troops will not suffer too many casualties. Marco gradually understood Why does Nord cherish the lives of soldiers, because standing in the position of a general must be responsible for the soldiers under his command.

After Marco went through this battle, he changed, became more stable, and became less competitive. When he let go of his determination to win, Marco discovered how wrong his previous thoughts were. Childish, why can't it be called a victory without a battle.

Marko thought of the art of war Nord told himself before, that a truly excellent general is one who can defeat others without fighting, and now Marko has this opportunity to realize it, because the mercenary under the command of the United Kingdom of Calvi is Demon The kingdom's best breakthrough.

After understanding this truth, Marko's next progress in the United Kingdom of Calvi became even faster. Marko even let the mercenary captains secretly sneak into the cities of the United Kingdom of Calvi to contact the mercenaries defending the city. As long as the army of the Demon Kingdom attacked the city, the mercenaries in the city would become internal support.

Therefore, after taking Turbo City, the army led by Marko took all the west of Calvi United Kingdom in just half a month, and even the territories of the other two archdukes failed to stop Demon With the frantic pace of the kingdom, all towns and cities are looking forward to it.

Now the troops under Marco's command have even increased instead of decreasing, and have directly reached 100,000 people. During this period of time, a full 40,000 mercenaries have joined the team of the Demon Kingdom. The advantages of the Demon Kingdom are like snowballing. , getting bigger and bigger.

Until the waters to the east of the United Kingdom of Calvi blocked the footsteps of the Demon Kingdom's army, looking at the torrential river, Marco's eyes were a little depressed, because he lived in the north of the Nordson Continent since he was a child, and Marco did not expect to be a A landlubber, seeing the criss-crossing rivers here, Marco got a little dizzy.

But in this regard, many soldiers under Marko can swim now, especially those Beser mercenaries who have lived here for a long time. They are not landlubbers like their fellow villagers. As a child who grew up in the United Kingdom of Calvi, And for the mercenaries who often travel north and south, they must have the right skills, and small rivers can't trap them at all.
