Chapter 0240: The supplies are robbed

The county of Meredith is growing rapidly, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as ever-changing.

However, as the development of the territory accelerates, something unforeseen has happened - some people are red-eyed!

The entire territory of Nanhuang County is 80,000 square kilometers, and there are hundreds of nobles who own territories, and these hundreds of people are all very poor, but fortunately, most of them are also very backbone, but there are always a few mavericks.

There are a few sloppy settlers in the east of the city of Plenty, led by the Chesterton family, who are really not used to the rapid development of the Earldom of Meredith, and they are very rampant to detain the convoy from the Endless Port.

The Chesterton family is barely an old aristocracy, and their ancestors also fought with King Lionheart, and were eventually made viscounts.

Twenty years later, relying on the connections in the court, the viscount spent a lot of money to buy two more baroness, and the family prospered.

According to the grapevine, a certain heir of the Chesterton family climbed onto the bedside of the Marquess of Helena a while ago, and became more and more arrogant.

The Marquis of Helena is a cousin of His Majesty the King, and she is also a powerful nobleman, but her fief is in the rich province of Rose, very far from the Southern Wilderness County.

However, this did not prevent the Chesterton family from bullying the weak, recruiting party members, and expanding their power in her name.

Although the surrounding nobles were bullied, no one dared to argue with the Chesterton family, and daring to argue would mean destruction.

For a long time, the Meredith family has been the imaginary enemy of the Chesterton family, after all, within a radius of 100 miles, only the Meredith family dares to confront the Chesterton family and has the strength to fight against it.

Now that the rapid development of the City of Plenty has made the Chesterton family feel an unprecedented crisis, they know that if they do not do something, they may be left far behind by this imaginary enemy.

After a long struggle, the greedy Chesterton family came up with the idea of a convoy in the City of Plenty.

One day, when the City of Plenty, the convoy passed through the Chesterton family's territory, and they seized all the supplies under the guise of smuggling, and also imprisoned the people.

When Cliffor heard about this, he was almost stunned, after all, the carriage was carrying precious heavy cavalry equipment and food, and he was scolding and scolding to kill more than 400 knights with him.

Henry was calmer than him, hurriedly stopped him, and immediately reported the news to Heidi and Renard: "Lord Earl, Mr. Renard, what should we do next?"

Renard knocked on the table and sneered: "Greedy hyenas, if you dare to talk to my convoy, you are not afraid to jump your good teeth." ”

The news soon spread throughout the city of plenty, and the people were indignant, and the sergeants, who had just received a salary increase and new equipment, kept clamoring for the destruction of each other.

In the end, all eyes converged on Heidi, after all, the decision was in the hands of the lord.

Heidi glanced at Reynard, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she thought for a moment and said, "Let the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th squadrons of the Black Cavalry assemble, and the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Infantry Squadrons will assemble, and this time we will definitely teach the Chesterton family a lesson." ”

After the order was given, she looked at Lei Ye again, obviously wanting to hear his opinion.

Renard took a deep breath, stood up and said, "It's decided, the development of the territory must not only rely on peace, but also show its strength in due time." ”

Hearing this, everyone became more confident, and then began to formulate a battle plan.

Although it was only a small-scale war, they had to plan carefully in order to ensure that the losses were minimized.

During the time of the demonic disaster, the Chesterton family also made great progress, and the army expanded nearly twice, and the total of the three territories reached an astonishing more than 830 people.

Moreover, a few small barons around them are looking forward to their horses, and they can also provide one hundred and eighty people to go to the battlefield, which means that they will face more than a thousand regular troops.

Renard is going to step on other people's turf, and if he can't keep the other party, he will pull out a big ticket to make up the numbers, although he is not very useful, but he can still cause obstacles to his own side.

Of course, Lei Ye can carry out a beheading operation and invite the three noble lords of the Chesterton family to the city of abundance for tea.

However, the deterrent effect of that is not obvious, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take risks again, and he is enough to worry about the affairs of the city of plenty, and he does not want to be entangled in these trivial matters again.

So he went to the map, intending to solve the problem once and for all.

The Chesterton family had three fiefdoms that were closely connected and smaller than the county of Meredith, with one city, two small towns, and five villages.

With the arrival of the demonic plague and the influx of displaced people, the total population of the place has reached a staggering 40,000, and if it were not for the fear that they would not be able to support these people, they would not have taken the risk of impounding the convoy.

The main city of Chesterton City is the opponent's nest, the city defense is strong and heavily guarded, it is a very difficult bone to gnaw, even if the city gate can be easily breached, if the two sides start a street battle, their side will definitely have a lot of losses.

After thinking for a long time, Renard stretched out his hand and pointed to the small town of Aoba on the edge of the Chesterton Territory: "The cavalry quickly attacked and occupied this town, and then the infantry entered the defense, and we waited for the other party to attack us." ”

"It's a nice note. Heidi nodded, and then asked with some uncertainty, "Will they come?"

Renard took a deep breath: "I will definitely come, Aoba Town is a trading town that the Chesterton family has put a lot of effort to build, and if this place is destroyed, their entire family's income will be reduced by forty percent." ”

After speaking, he looked at Heidi: "As for what you said about sparing us to attack the county of Meredith, it is not impossible. ”

Without waiting for the other party to ask again, he added: "However, the Chesterton family does not have many cavalry, and the mobility is insufficient, while we have enough cavalry to harass and annihilate, if they dare to come, it is estimated that they will be killed in the middle of the way." ”

"That's it!" Renard clapped his hands: "Everyone prepare as soon as possible, we will set off overnight tonight, so as not to have too many dreams at night, and it is estimated that those equipment and food will still be saved." ”

The crowd responded with a bang, and then dispersed in all directions, and began to prepare for battle.

Renard was still standing in front of the map, looking at the southern territory of Arthur's kingdom, and couldn't help but sigh.

This map is somewhat like a New World divided by colonists, with countless powers, large and small, loyal to the same king, but still fighting with each other.

In this case, it is not easy to deal with the demons who are about to break out of the barren land, it is good to go their own way, and if you are not used to each other, it will be really terrible to step on each other.

He breathed a deep sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "It seems that you still have to rely on yourself to be a man." ”
