Chapter 0387: Planning
If there is anything else that this bandit leader can boast about, it is the sensational Battle of Searle.
At that time, the Kingdom of Arthur and the Kingdom of Rowling were fighting for the ownership of Kissinger Province, and the two sides each sent 100,000 troops to fight in the Grnier grassland.
Seeing that the two neighbors were pinching so fiercely, the Helsinki Kingdom in the north was willing to miss the opportunity, and immediately sent 50,000 iron horsemen south to attack the Hailan Province of the Arthur Kingdom, intending to annex the entire Arthur Kingdom.
Because the terrain of Hailan Province is flat, which is very suitable for cavalry operations, the 50,000 iron cavalry of the Kingdom of Helsinki conquered 38 large cities in succession in only two months, and the front of the army is directly aimed at Rose Province.
The city of Serre is located at the junction of the Rose Province and the Hailan Province, which is the gateway to the Rose Province.
His Majesty Rochelle immediately ordered the defenders to prevent the Kingdom of Helsinki from entering the territory of Roseflower Province at any cost.
At that time, the bandit leader Jordan was ordered to garrison the city of Serge, and he was supposed to have 5,000 elite sergeants under his command, but because of his greed and constant empty salary, the actual number of defenders was only 3,000.
When the bandit leader saw tens of thousands of soldiers approaching the city, he immediately remembered the wise saying: Those who know the times are handsome.
So he hurriedly ordered someone to negotiate with the high-level of the Helsinki Kingdom about surrendering to the city, saying that he was willing to give up the city of Searle, and only hoped that the other party would leave him a good errand after the destruction of the Kingdom of Arthur.
I don't know if this bandit leader is lucky or unlucky, if he directly opens the city gate and surrenders, maybe he can really be a feudal official, but unfortunately there are unforeseen circumstances.
His Majesty Rochel knew what kind of virtue this subordinate was, and just when the two sides were at odds, he personally led 30,000 cavalry to outflank him, cut off the supply lines of the Kingdom of Helsinki, and then surrounded it under the city of Serre.
Seeing this situation, the bandit leader Jordan once again showed his true colors, directly tore up the secret treaty with the Kingdom of Helsinki, and said: swear to live and die with the city of Searle.
The outcome of the war is self-evident, the 50,000 elites of the Kingdom of Helsinki were annihilated under the city of Serre, and since then they have withdrawn from the arena of competing for the hegemony of the Cape of Hope.
The Arthurian kingdom also suffered heavy losses, with only 8,000 of the 30,000 cavalry left, and all of them were wounded.
However, the biggest loss is not these, the most painful thing is that the Arthurian Kingdom lost the opportunity to compete with the Rowling Kingdom for the Kissinger Province, and the Cape of Hope has since formed a three-legged momentum.
It stands to reason that a traitor like Jordan must be severely punished.
However, he did everything well, and the matter of surrendering to sincerity has not become a fact, and he has made great contributions to defending the city of Searle to the death, so it is very difficult to punish.
So a wise person like His Majesty Rochel couldn't do anything about him, and only thought about finding an opportunity to clean up the other party later.
This bandit leader also knew that he was not doing things properly, for fear that the king would settle accounts after the autumn, so he began to be a man with his tail between his legs, and he was not caught with a little tail until the end of his life.
As the saying goes, death is like a lamp going out, and His Majesty Rochelle was grateful for his hard work, so he canonized him as a hereditary earl after the death of the other party.
However, in the mouth of this middle-aged man, his wall-riding grandfather turned out to be the hero who turned the tide and saved the entire Arthurian kingdom.
I don't know if His Majesty Rochelle knows about this and will repair Earl Jordan in the Eternal Night Realm.
The middle-aged man is still talking, his words are getting bigger and bigger, and words such as faint king and rebellion are endless.
The Creighton family also continued to echo him, encouraging him to forge ahead on the road of rebellion.
Sidney tapped his fingers on the table, and with an interested expression on his face, he suddenly interjected, "Church, are you complaining, or trying to say something else?" ”
The middle-aged man paused for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "Grandfather, what I want to convey is very simple, the Hope family is not worthy of ruling this country at all, and only the Creighton family can bring glory to this land. ”
Count Church did not shy away from saying rebellious words, and the originally noisy conference room instantly fell silent.
The entire conference room was silent, and the phrase "Only the Creighton family can bring glory to this land" echoed.
Sidney's fingers paused when he heard this, and then he scolded sharply, "Shut up, do you want the Creighton family to break their original oath?"
Although his tone was stern, there was not the slightest hint of reproach on his face.
When Count Church saw his grandfather's anger, he was immediately silent, and he did not dare to speak again.
However, after waiting for a long time and not seeing the following, he couldn't help but sneak a glance twice, and found that his grandfather's face was normal, and his cheeks were faintly rosy, knowing that he didn't really anger the other party, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Earl Church was a shrewd man, and he had already understood his grandfather's mind, and he was only tempting.
Since the other party did not take the case, it means that he can rest assured to make bold remarks next.
After thinking for a moment, he continued: "Grandfather, what I just said is the common sentiment of all the noble lords, and ninety percent of the lords in the entire Kale County are unwilling to be loyal to that mediocre king. ”
Earl Church pointed to the door and pretended to be indignant, "Now the subjects of Arthur's kingdom are being ravaged by demons, and what is our King doing?"
"He withdrew the defenders of Nanhuang County, risking the lives and deaths of millions of his subjects, just to ensure that his direct territory would not be breached. ”
"When the demon poisoned the Cabbage County, he turned a blind eye and strictly ordered the king's army not to send troops to help, is this something that a wise monarch would do?"
"What else has he done besides playing conspiracy and taking advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the lords and try to establish a centralized state?"
"He is self-righteous and arrogant......"
Earl Church's words were very powerful and infectious, and instantly resonated with everyone present.
Even if Lei Ye is here, he has to applaud and praise his good eloquence.
The most important thing is that what the other party says is all the truth, and there is no way to refute it.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and some even stood up with excitement in agreement: "Now that the western border of the kingdom is almost occupied by demons, and His Majesty the King is ignoring it, this is not mediocrity and nothing. ”
"Not to mention the western border, even our Kale County has been tragically poisoned by demons, and I have led Hu Followers to support the territory of the Ulysses family, and the situation I saw along the way is really terrifying. ”
"Villages and towns are burned everywhere, farmland has been destroyed by demons, countless people have been displaced, and these are still lucky people, and all the bad luck has become the devil's ration. ”
Earl Church slapped the table angrily: "That's right, His Majesty the King doesn't care about the slaughter of his people, and I can't believe that a wise monarch can treat his subjects like a mustard like this." ”
