England • Three years

A drizzle of rain pounded on the wet plains, and the chariots were still galloping, and to the left and right of the chariots were all kinds of warriors, at a glance, there were Trojan citizens, but most of them were totem-painted tribal warriors, each holding a banner, and there were dozens of them.

At this moment they slowly advanced with their weapons, and arrived at the entrance of a valley, where soldiers came to report that there was no ambush at the entrance of the valley, and the army cautiously entered the valley.

The valley is not deep, but the drizzle is lush and lush, obscuring the view.

There are two tribes living in the valley, one of which is not very large, only a few hundred people, and in normal times, the people of this tribe mainly live by hunting, and there is only one road to the valley from the outside world, which has been occupied at this time.

The tribe soon appeared in front of the coalition army, the whole tribe was fenced with a wooden fence, there was a wooden gate in front of the coalition army, and the tribe was all wooden and grass structures, in wartime, it was easy to be destroyed by the enemy with fire, but this was already a fairly civilized tribe in England in this era.

The chariot stopped, parked in the valley, and on the cart was a man in armor, it was Pei Ziyun, who had not changed in the slightest in a few years, and looked younger.

"Your Majesty, here it is. A fighter reported.

"Persuade to surrender as usual!" Pei Ziyun said.

"Yes!"

The warrior approached the gate and shouted to the tribe: "The king has an order, you can surrender immediately, you can be knighted, and those who resist will be exterminated." ”

"You've probably heard a lot of news, surrender quickly. ”

After the warrior shouted, the coalition army also stood silently, and did not urge the tribe.

There was silence in one tribe for a long time, and as everyone waited impatiently, the gate was opened, and a gray-haired chief came out trembling.

The chief stepped forward silently, and in front of him stood guard by a sentry, and he fell to his knees tremblingly.

"You are the chief of the wild boar tribe?" Pei Ziyun broke the silence: "Why are you afraid when you see me? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the tribes behind, and many of them showed expressions of agreement, these are the chiefs of the tribes, and now they are following the king to encircle and suppress the tribes that have not yet surrendered.

As he spoke, Pei Ziyun jumped down and asked, "Are you really willing to become a subject of my kingdom without reservation?"

The chief of the boar tribe hesitated, and replied, "I do." ”

Hearing this answer, everyone showed a knowing smile, this is a person who knows the times, I don't know how many tribes have to resist to the end, and the results are very miserable.

"That being the case, we enter into a sacred covenant that any deception and betrayal is sin. Pei Ziyun smiled slightly, raised his sword and patted it lightly on the shoulder of the tribal chief, and said, "I accept your submission, officially identify this place as Shack County, and make you Baron Sphinx." ”

The tribal chieftain shook his body and said dryly, "King, thank you for the reward. ”

"As long as you serve the royal family well, the kingdom will not treat you badly, and new lands will be given to you in the future. Pei Ziyun said.

A clerk behind him struggled to write, and the clerk was quickly written, shouting: "Baron Sphinx, from now on, you are the Baron Sphinx of the kingdom, and you must fulfill your obligation to build a temple for the god of vanishing." ”

"And you have to send 15 soldiers to serve the king for 40 days a year, and you have to pay one-twentieth of the annual production. ”

"Yes, I can do all of that. The new baron said.

The clerk nodded with satisfaction, and the Sphinx Baron was very obedient, and continued: "Once every three years, the king can conscript you to war, and if you have merit in battle, the king will divide your new land. ”

"Do you have any questions?" asked.

"I don't have any doubts anymore. ”

The clerk nodded and said, "Actually, you will know later how much you have gained." ”

"If nothing else, the chieftain cannot be hereditary, there are warriors in the tribe in your place, and now, by virtue of the authority of the king, you can pass the title to your son. ”

"If you die in battle, your son will inherit your power and property. ”

Whoever opposes will face the wrath of the whole kingdom. Hearing this, the chiefs of the wild boar tribe did not fully understand, but some of the chiefs had already smiled with satisfaction.

While the clerk patiently explained the obligations to the new baron, the soldiers began to rest and cook.

Groups of them went to the nearby jungle to collect firewood, while a group of people built stoves in the same place.

The rich aroma soon spread throughout the makeshift camp, and everyone had just formed a small tribe, and they were in a good mood, and there was food to eat, and they all had a great appetite.

And Pei Ziyun was wearing armor, a vertical belt, and a long sword at his waist, looking around, followed by an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

Pei Ziyun asked: "After this fight, the kingdom will be cultivated for many years, Astyanax, what do you understand?"

Astyanax is the son of Hector, Pei Ziyun established the kingdom, it is impossible to govern the country all the time, sooner or later the kingdom will have to be handed over, and the most suitable person for this is the Astyanax in front of him.

In the past three years, Pei Ziyun has been deliberately cultivating Astianax, and every time he goes out, he will bring Astyanax with him, so that he can witness how the entire kingdom is established step by step.

In this way, in his absence, Astyanax could still rule the kingdom.

Astyanax thought for a moment and said, "Uncle King, we Trojans, oh no, the English have only a thousand men and cannot withstand any attrition. ”

"So we first take a moderate approach, conquer the weaker tribes first, requisition them, and then conquer the stronger tribes. ”

"Although we have tried our best to use tribal soldiers to fight, we still have losses, and we must recuperate in order to recover the population as soon as possible. ”

"More than that, Astyanax. Pei Ziyun said: "We also colluded with the chief, originally the chief was not hereditary, and now we collude with him to replace the ancient democracy with the feudal system." ”

The chief soon discovered that relying on the royal family, only the tribe was at strium, and that he himself could make equal tribal members into subjects, and thus gain great benefits. ”

"That's why I adopted the split seal system. Pei Ziyun just passed on his experience, and at this moment, a warrior was carried back dripping with blood, and everyone looked at it, only to see that his ears were cut off, which was undoubtedly contempt for everyone, and the people around him roared angrily, saying that they would exterminate this arrogant tribe.

"What the hell is going on?" asked Astyanax, pulling one of the soldiers along.

"Prince, the leader of the wolf tribe did not take us seriously at all, and as soon as our soldiers went in to explain their intentions, they shouted that the wolf would never be slaves, and cut off the ears of our soldiers. The soldier asked.

"Isn't there any other reason?" Pei Ziyun also asked.

"No, King. The soldier replied.

Pei Ziyun's eyes were slightly cold, this tribe is a provocation to the majesty of the royal family, if it can't be taken down by thunderous means, it will damage the image of the royal family, and even make some newly obedient chiefs have some bad thoughts.

Pei Ziyun gave an order: "Destroy his clan, and there is no forgiveness for killing." ”

"Yes. The soldier replied.

Pei Ziyun's order was quickly issued, and the soldiers had just seen a comrade-in-arms' ear cut off by this tribesman, and they were all furious and carried out the order efficiently.

All the soldiers' weapons were drawn and ready to fire, and the archers also took their bows and arrows from the quiver and aimed them at the wolf tribe.

"Kill. Thousands of people roared and shook the heavens and the earth, and pounced directly.

This is almost disorganized, but the people of the wild wolf tribe are at most a few hundred people fighting, and now thousands of people are pouring up, and they are suddenly colorless, but they are indeed worthy of the name of wild wolves, and they are desperately resisting.

On the wooden fence, the warriors of the wolf tribe fell their bows and spears against the rushing enemy, and one after another howled miserably.

The soldiers of the Kingdom Alliance also used bows and arrows and spears to continuously throw at the crowd in the wolf tribe.

Even the chief of the Boar Tribe, the new Baron Sphinx, had to lead the tribal warriors to attack the brother tribe, a neighboring tribe that had lived with them for hundreds of years and had to fight with his sword at the moment.

The battle was disorderly, only knew that the rush was rushing, but the wild wolf tribe was only a thousand people, half of them were women, and the people who could fight were only two or three hundred, in the face of thousands of soldiers attacking, no matter how stubbornly they resisted, it was useless, only for a moment, only to hear a "boom", the fence collapsed.

"Kill, kill, kill" The tribal army rushed in, and in not much time, several puffs of smoke rose from inside, and the flames were faintly seen, and the men of the wild wolf tribe were indeed worthy of the name of "wolf", in this case, they were still desperate to resist and block the ferocious enemy who was pouring in.

But in exchange, there is only more ferocious killing.

Half an hour later, the killing stopped, and all the people who were still alive in the tribe were concentrated in one clearing, women and children were concentrated on one side of the clearing, and men taller than one meter were concentrated on the other side.

"Today I'm going to show all of you what it takes to be recalcitrant. A Trojan warrior said that the warrior with the frost ears cut off was his comrade-in-arms, gritting his teeth at the recalcitrant tribe.

After he finished speaking, he waved his right hand and shouted: "Kill." ”

"Puff puff ......"

The sound of a series of spears piercing into the body sounded, and all the men of this tribe higher than one meter were slaughtered, and their bodies "plopped" and "plopped" to the cold ground, blood spurted out of these people's bodies, staining a large area around them, and suddenly all the women and children cried.

The tribe was slaughtered, all the women and children were used as slaves, and the battle was officially over.

Pei Ziyun stepped forward, took the paperwork, looked at it, and saw that there was no problem, so he said: "In the battle just now, the first place was Baron Bercleus, and the two knights gave the land. ”

"Sir Kovasili gave a knight's domain, and Sir Mossicoe gave a knight's domain. ”

"Seventy percent of the wealth and half of the population were to be distributed among all the warriors who went to war, and the remaining thirty percent of the wealth and half of the captives, as well as the land, were to be taken into the kingdom according to the rules. ”

In this era, land is not the most precious, wealth is, hearing this, the chiefs, who have not been nobles for a long time, cheered.
