Chapter 64: Sending Troops
"Thank you, Father. Patlem was a clever man, and hurriedly came out to salute, his face full of surprise.
Although he was fully prepared this time and had a great chance of winning, he didn't expect that his dear brother, even if he had been away from the military leadership for so long, still had so many staunch supporters, and was racking his brains to find a way, but he didn't expect Duke Borg to make a decision directly.
Duke Borg's eyes, which were almost obscured by fat, were now open, exuding a fierce look, looking down on Patlaim condescendingly.
"This king has only one request for you, that is, don't lose the face of the Faren family, this time not only to win, but also to win brilliantly, and to beat those untouchables, so that they will not dare to step out of the mountain half a step in their lifetime. β
At this moment, the desert lion of the year is back.
"Father, rest assured, I will never fall into the name of the Faeron family, I will give those untouchables who do not have a long memory, a lesson that they will never forget, let them know their true identity, Manyu is their sacred territory that cannot be set foot in, they have only one identity here, that is, slaves who create wealth for us. β
A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Patlem's delicate face, and at the end, he raised his arms and shouted, "Long live the Manyu military leader, long live the Duke of Borg." β
"Long live the Manyu Army, long live the Duke of Borg. β
"Long live the Manyu Army, long live the Duke of Borg. β
"Long live the Manyu Army, long live the Duke of Borg. β
In the midst of a frenzied chant, Patalem led the army led by the Manyo army and drove mightily towards the Bastille.
Among them, there are four elite main legions of the Fei Lun family, with a total of 13,000 people, and as many as 30,000 servants temporarily assembled and recruited.
The composition of the servant army is very mixed, including the servants and servants brought by the main legionnaires themselves, the local border troops who are temporarily recalled, and more of them are ruffians and hooligans who want to fish in the troubled waters of the war, as well as hot-blooded young people who want to make meritorious contributions.
Since the Byron Alliance has been in internal and external troubles, in order to encourage more people to go to the battlefield, they have paid attention to military merits, and the Manyu military leader is no exception.
As long as he is beheaded three levels on the battlefield, the rich reward is enough for an illiterate poor boy to become a manor master.
In addition, there are also some farmers who are forcibly conscripted, mainly to assist in the delivery of supplies.
In response to the call for war, there were dozens of noble private armies, the largest one had a legion, and the smallest one had only two or three knights and a dozen servants, adding up to more than 25,000 people.
Along the way, one after another, there were also noble private armies from all over the country to join, and when they reached the outside of the Bastille, the expeditionary army had already claimed to be 100,000, and spread out on the land of a flat river, the horses were neighing, the dust was flying, and the sky was so vast that there was no end in sight.
"That's how the husband was. β
PatlΓͺme, who was riding on a carefully selected little mare, wielded a delicate whip, her face was more feminine than that of an ordinary woman, her face was flushed, her eyes were full of fascination, and she said to Conrad, who was dressed as a knight on his side, "You are right, the real eagle should not nest in the tower forever, it must spread its wings and soar in order to discover how vast the outside world really is." β
"Wild horses gallop on the grassland, eagles strike in the sky, and lions naturally gallop across the field. β
Conrad smiled and said, "You are a lion, only on the field can you find your own value." β
"That's right, what Philip can do, I can do, and since he calls himself a manbred lion cub, then I am the lion king. β
"Caution, caution, caution, the current lion king is the old duke, and before the old duke was called by the lord, he was the only lion king on this land. β
Conrad glanced around vigilantly, "This kind of thing can't be said nonsense, once it is heard by those treacherous villains, it may provoke countless rights and wrongs." β
"It's me who lost my temper. Patlem patted his cheek lightly.
"Unconsciously stimulated by the situation in front of me, I am really grateful to my dear brother Bartley, if it weren't for his idiotic behavior, we really wouldn't have this opportunity in front of us. β
"Lord Baron, it's better to be careful, our sentry has already fought with the opponent's sentry, it is very difficult, not only is it strong in combat, but it is also well-equipped, and it is not inferior to our main force. β
Compared with Patalem, who has been carried away by the blood, Conrad is obviously much calmer, and even faintly worried.
Although he, like Patlem, was also a newcomer to battle, his cautious personality allowed him to do his homework, and the opponent they faced this time was obviously at odds with the poorly equipped, unorganized, undisciplined, and untactically unarmed Andes mountain people recorded in the classics.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party had an obvious Andes face, he would have thought that they were facing the elite army of which military leader!
"What's so strange about this, old Bolton was notoriously wealthy, and it is said that his castle was piled up with fine equipment equipped with tens of thousands of troops, and now that he had folded it himself, the equipment naturally fell into the hands of the group of slaves. Patlaim was ambitious.
"But even if you give a farmer the strongest armor and the sharpest blade, he is still just a timid and cowardly farmer, let alone a knight, even an auxiliary soldier can knock him to the ground with his bare hands, not to mention that we have 100,000 lions, and I don't see the other party's sentry who doesn't even dare to approach our army for ten miles, and flee from the wind? β
"But......" Conrad still wanted to argue, he always felt that things were not so simple, and a herald who came in a hurry made his defense hold back in his stomach.
"Your Excellency, General Christopher has asked you to come over for an emergency military meeting. β
"Got it. β
After Patalum sent the herald away, his face was gloomy and he could drip water, and he gritted his teeth.
"This old bastard is getting more and more excessive, is he the Supreme Commander, or am I the Supreme Commander? Convened an emergency military meeting, and sent only a small herald to inform me that if I have a chance, I must let this old fellow die a good death. β
"Don't worry, Lord Baron, General Christopher is the Duke's closest general. He has been neutral now, and if we can take advantage of this opportunity to draw him to our side, we can ignore Philip's superiority in military power."
"It's not easy to say, this old fellow is a brainless man, loyal to my father, and as long as my father is not dead, he will not fall to anyone. β
Partlem was a little dejected, completely devoid of his previous spirits, the herald had just dragged him back to the harsh reality, he was only the nominal Supreme Commander.
In fact, the few military powers that can be mastered are pitiful, not to mention that he can't command those aristocratic private soldiers, even the descendants of the Fei Lun family have to look at the face of the general arranged by the Duke of Fei Lun, and the supreme commander of the first army was actually notified to go to a meeting, is there anything more cowardly and humiliating than this?
"As the highest military commander of the Manyu Army, General Christopher is already under one person, above ten thousand, there is no way to rise, whether it is Philip, or you sit in the position of duke, it will not have much impact on him, of course he has to choose the safest way to stand in line, that is, not to stand in line, and when one side is endlessly close to victory, he will take refuge in the past as the key to the final word, in order to stabilize him, it is natural to let him still maintain his current position, which is a common means for those old shameless. β
"I don't need you to say this, I know, when the time comes, it will be the same with or without this old bastard. β
Patrium said angrily, as the most important force they have always wanted to fight for, they have analyzed the old hound beside Duke Borg more than once.
But unfortunately I found that this hound was too cunning and loyal, and ignored the bait they threw in the past, let alone them, even Philip was helpless.
"But......" Conrad smiled secretly, "but there is no absolute loyalty in this world, and if the other party is indifferent, we can only say that the chips we pay are not big enough." β
"The price we paid is not big enough? What price can we pay? Can't we give up the duke's position to the other party? Don't sell it. β
Patalem asked anxiously, Christopher is difficult to entangle, whether it is real power or false title, the other party has no promotion in the Manyu military leader, and there is no bargaining chip to win him over.
"Even if he is willing to let it, he has to dare to sit down. β
There was a clear hint of disdain in Conrad's eyes.
"I just heard a private message, our general, who seems to be loyal and dutiful, also has a belly full of flowers, and has a special fetish in women, and his favorite is those little girls who can be his granddaughter, he has a private estate, which is captive with girls from all over the mainland, it is said that even the half-elf from the silent rainforest has, specially to satisfy his special habits, in private, he is coveted by your sister Angel Bena, if we promise to take the throne, Anji Bena will be married to him, I believe he will make new considerationsγ β
"So disgusting?" Patlem frowned, looking like he was about to vomit, but he hesitated at the mention of Angelbena.
"Behind Angel Bena stands a master-level warlock and the other witches she represents, even my father doesn't dare to open the sin easily, isn't it a big mistake to do so?"
"It's just a verbal agreement, and it's not immediately enforced. Conrad said with a smile, "When you sit in the duke's position, whether you admit it or not, it's not a matter of your words, and Christopher can't do anything about you when the time comes." β
"Christopher is not a fool to be so obvious?"
"Li Lingzhi is dizzy, if you don't try, how can you know what the other party really thinks?"
