713 The South's Decision (1)

Bun heartfelt thanks: Glow rewarded 2 monthly passes;

South of Paravon, Driestown City

The sky was always a little gloomy, the sky was always gloomy, there was not the slightest ray of sunshine, but it never rained. Although it is already the weather in September, it still has a little bit of heat.

I don't know if it's because of the heat and uneasiness of the civil war in Palaubun, or because the weather is really hot. The water of the Salin River flows quietly in the middle of Driss, and it can't take away this feeling of humidity and heat.

Among the outlying cities in the southern part of Paraven, Driss is the smallest city, with the largest population in history, with a permanent population of less than 20,000.

Compared to the million people that the majestic Parabun once had, it was not even a small dd, at most it could only be counted as a market town.

However, after a year of war, the population of several other cities has declined rapidly, but it is the remote Driss, because it is far from the core of the battlefield, which has preserved a relatively large population, so that there is still a little bit of an urban sign here.

However, when the banner of civil war was raised in the Parabun Plain, even remote Driss felt the pace of war approaching, and the atmosphere of war became more and more intense.

A large number of troops were gathered at the head of Driss and on the streets of the city. There were peasants in tattered leather armor, and knights in red armor and red tasseled helmets.

This is the base camp of the Third Legion of the Southern Noble Army, because of the Barranlier Massacre that shocked the entire noble army, these small nobles from the south suddenly realized that the war was really coming, this time it was the Dongting people, and next time it could be the Falcon Dynasty in the north, or the crusading army, if the troops were still scattered like Barranlier and commanded separately, the final result would be all over,

Under this consensus, the leaderless aristocratic army made a unanimous decision, and in order to avoid a similar tragedy, the 80,000 aristocratic army was reorganized and merged into four major legions according to the counties to which the south belonged

The residents of Driss City, who had long been frightened by the war, found that since yesterday, a large number of troops have been stationed in Driss City. With the arrival of the army, there were many high-ranking officers of the army. All of them are big people with gold stars shining on their epaulettes and medals on their chests. It seems that all the big names in the kingdom have moved in all of a sudden

Dris's vigilance reached an unprecedented level, with three steps and one post on the city walls, five steps and one sentry, and the patrols in the city were also encrypted several times. All the inhabitants of the city were allowed to enter and not leave, and even if someone died in the house, they had to be temporarily placed in the city. At the four gates of the city, there were noble knights with armies of peasants standing guard, and not even a single sparrow could fly out.

The most heavily guarded place is, of course, the former town hall of Driss, a brick building that was almost destroyed by the war. The first official plenary meeting of the noble army was held here.

Although there had been several plenary meetings before, they were all under the leadership of the Marquis of Berdock, and the participants were all the leaders who were still recuperating from their injuries in Kyoto, but this time, the participants were all newly elected legion commanders, who were already familiar with each other, but when the delegates from each region entered the conference hall, each of them could still feel the heaviness of the atmosphere.

Fortunately. Although the floor tile building of the conference hall looks a little old and old, it drives away a lot of stuffiness, so that the delegates finally no longer need to wipe the sweat on their bodies frequently.

Especially for the female delegates, it is undoubtedly a great boon, in this elected captain, the Duchess of Bernhamming from the Sagos region is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, as the third wife of the former Seventh Knight of Raldian, this beautiful woman of only about 25 years old, no matter where she goes, it is enough to attract the attention of a male animal

But the strength in her hands is also the strongest, she has 7,000 elite soldiers in the noble army, of which 4,000 are the old foundation of the regular army of the Seventh Knights.

When the royal family of Raldian decided to cede the southern Suruo region to the feuding Nords, the Seventh Knights had been surrounded by the Rods in a fortress for 2 months.

The army of 30,000 people was beaten less than 5,000 people, but this tenacious army with a strong will, unyielding fighting style, and broken walls of the broken fortress, nailed the 60,000 Roude troops to the border of the Soviet Union, and until the end of the war, the Roudes did not step on the border of the Soviet Union...,

Because of the disconnection of the news, even the military department of Raldian thought that the Seventh Knights had been completely wiped out, and the name of the Duke of Bernhamming was on the death notice of the military department in January.

In the end, it was during the secret negotiation that Rui Erdian learned from the mouth of the Wild that the Seventh Knights, who had been expected to be wiped out, still insisted on their own defense area, and in order to show their sincerity, the Military Affairs Department of Rui Erdian personally issued an order that was unacceptable to the Seventh Knights.

After receiving the order of the royal family of Raldian to surrender and disarm the Seventh Knights on the spot, the Duke of Bernhamming, who was wounded in many places, chose to commit suicide in grief and anger, and used death to defend his dignity.

The Seventh Knights, who lost their commander and were defeated by the Odds with four-fifths of their strength, also became a stain that the military department of Raldian had to cover up.

The news of a brave and fearless legion that has been besieged for 2 months to defend the borders of the kingdom without receiving any rescue will be a fatal blow to the prestige of the military department and the stability of other legionnaires.

At that time, it was a critical moment when the cavalry of the Eastern Court directly penetrated Ye Ruige, and the Military Affairs Department urgently needed to mobilize the southern army to the north, and such fluctuations were enough to shake the entire defense line

The Marquis of Polis Sis, the deputy head of the military department of Raldian, who came to take over, could only regretfully tell the survivors of the Seventh Knights that the Seventh Knights had reported to the king as a battle damage, and if it appeared again, not only would the king be angry, but even those brave soldiers who died in battle would not be compensated because they were defeated.

Anyway, the Seventh Knights had already been defeated, and the War Department could not spare the forces to restore the Seventh Knights, so it was better to choose to swear allegiance to the widow of the Duke of Birham, and thus become a lord's private army, so that the war dead could still be compensated with a gold coin, and the surviving soldiers could also get a place to settle

"We are willing to guard for Lord Birhamming"

There is almost no confusion, 4,000 veterans who survived the war became the diehards of the Bernhamming family, this great drought in the south had a great impact on the Marquis of Bernhamming, the territory was lost, the kind Marquise of Bernhamming canceled all the taxes of the year, despite this, it was still unable to resist the impact of this natural disaster, and the consumption of more than 4,000 people was useless no matter how much it was saved,

In order to find a way for her husband to survive the remaining soldiers, and to prevent the citizens of the territory from cannibalism, the widow of the Birham Ming family resolutely decided to join the Southern Noble Army, and the Birham Ming private army, which consisted of 4,000 veterans who had a grudge against the kingdom and 3,000 citizens, also became the most loyal soldiers under her command.

Because the desire for power is not strong, so when the original leader of the southern aristocratic army was elected, the widow of the Bohan Ming family said very indifferently that she went north to seek a way to survive in this year of great drought, and was not interested in entering Beijing to govern, so she did not become one of the leaders of Kyoto

But now it was different, and the nobles of the Sagoth region, who had no leader, naturally thought of this powerful widow, and this time the Marquis of Clemuda from the country of Ruli was also present, as well as his deputy, General Selepe, the general Tazar from Harasa and his deputy Tostao, and the bandit leader Ruida from the southern mountains.

At the beginning of the meeting, there was a tense atmosphere. Born as a bandit, Ryda was the first to open fire, criticizing the other lords' armies for discriminating against his army, and the 4,000 men killed by the Dongting people in Barranliel were all his subordinates.

And then when encircling and suppressing the Dongting people, he was the one with the heaviest casualties, he had more than 8,000 bandit troops composed of southern refugees under his command, for this guy who took the mob around to loot the territory, the lords everywhere have always looked down on him, and naturally they will not treat him very well, and the Ruida army that was hit by the Dongting people suffered heavy casualties,

The more Reda spoke, the more excited she became. He simply stood up, tore open his shirt, revealing his tattooed chest, and slapped the table and said loudly: "I just want to know, according to the agreement, when will the other armies merged into my second legion arrive?

He was a young man in his thirties, tall, with well-developed limbs, powerful and powerful, and his eyes flashed with a vicious and fierce light. His own martial arts skills are good, so every movement and every look has a very awe-inspiring murderous aura. Killing, for him, is simply a commonplace, and he won't even frown. ...,

However, no one here cared about Ruida's questioning, and they didn't even bother to give an obvious expression.

Ice.

No one answered.

Except for Ruida's strange face, the others didn't seem to hear anything.

Although Ruida is fierce, he also knows that these people in front of him are unprovoked by himself, and he can be reckless in his mouth, but if he really makes trouble, he will definitely suffer, so he had to snort heavily in his nose, and then sat down and made a disdainful look at a man next to him, that is the Marquis of Clemuda, the commander of the Fourth Legion, before forming a joint army, Clemuda once led his family's private army and almost chased Ruida into the sky with no way to enter the ground,

Now that Ruida feels that he can also be on an equal footing with these noble lords, it is inevitable that he will be a little arrogant, he held the conference table with both hands, and said in a slow voice

"I won't say much about it, and I don't want to hear it, my defense area is closest to the exit of the mountain road connecting the north, and the Wikibians, who even the Dongting people have defeated, may also go south along the mountain road at any time, and their combat effectiveness is recognized as strong. If you don't work hard, we will be completely captives of the Wikibians in less than a month. When the time comes, the Wikibians will implement a policy of destruction for you. I guess everyone is not feeling good either. ”

Still cold, no one answered.

However, there was a slight change in the expression on the individual's face.

"What does Your Excellency Nareda think we should do" The Marquise of Birhamming, who had a cold face, raised her head and asked, she didn't expect that today's meeting would start with such a situation, which was indeed unexpected for her,

And the silence of the other representatives around her also made her feel uncomfortable, although Ruida's previous behavior was not noble. But now after all, it's a person in the same boat, and at least politeness still has to be there,
