Chapter 267

"And I found that in addition to those barbarians, there are many human soldiers whose strength is also knights or great knights, and the general named Ken at the head is also a third-order transcendent. The middle-aged knight said with a serious face.

"They actually have such a strong strength. ”

"Can they help us recover Winterfell, and we can pay him!" The nobles had completely forgotten what they had just thought of wanting Suren to hand over the people.

"Yes, we can pay him to help us recover Winter City. These people said excitedly.

They have already planned, as long as they recover Winter City, they will not abandon the city and flee, even if they will receive some punishment afterwards, but with their relationship, it will not be very serious, and the punishment is too light compared to the complete loss of territory.

"Gentlemen, there aren't many orcs in Winter City right now, and it's easy to take it, but it's a question of how we hold it. Count Elijah glanced at them and said.

"That means we need to hire them until the war is over!"

The difference between the fact that everyone looks at each other and hires them to capture a city and those who hire them until the end of the war must be very large. Thinking of this, these nobles fell silent again.

"I have a better way. At this moment, a man next to him suddenly said.

"What's the solution?"

"We don't need to hire the troops of Zhenbei City in a hurry, we can hire them again when the battle is about to end, so that even if we hire them until the end of the war, it shouldn't take a few days, and if we're lucky, we won't even need three days. The man said what he had done.

You're a clever little ghost!

"yes!

"We can do that!" the other nobles nodded.

"That's it!" soon the nobles unanimously approved the plan. Only Count Illya frowned slightly, obviously not optimistic.

"In that case, we need to start preparing now. When Winter City was breached, many soldiers escaped, and now there are still many scattered soldiers in the field, we must gather them as soon as possible, otherwise even if we hold the city, we will have no manpower to use. ”

"In addition, we must prepare enough Jinnar, and it will not be a small amount to hire the army of Zhenbei City by then. ”

"We must have a clear division of labor and start acting as soon as possible, otherwise all those routs and displaced people will be robbed by Zhenbei City. ”

These nobles acted quickly in the face of their own interests, but they seemed to have forgotten whether Su Lun was willing to help them or not.

......

After arranging the relocation of the slaves, Suren returned to the Blackstone Fortress to meet with the nobles. After seeing these nobles again, Su Lun found that these nobles' attitude towards him had changed dramatically, and they were very reserved before, but now they all began to curry favor with Su Lun.

Then he changed his tricks to praise him, Su Lun saw the thickness of these people's skins, and he was amazed.

The lady who appeared to be of noble status still wore a veil today, but instead of a gray cloak, she was dressed in a long silk dress embroidered with gold and silver threads. The price of such a long silk dress is at least 100 jinnars. It seems that even on the way to escape, she brought a lot of things out, and at this point, she still has to pay attention to her image.

In this atmosphere, the atmosphere of conversation between the two sides is naturally harmonious, and each side has the idea of wanting to know more information.

Through them, Suren wanted to understand the aristocratic power of the Northland provinces and the strength of the Kingdom of Florence. It is used to determine how long this battle will last, and to make some additions to his plan of fishing in troubled waters and moving people.

These nobles wanted to find out Su Lun's attitude and his strength, and even these nobles expressed their desire to ask Su Lun to send an army to help them recover their lost territory. Su Lun only catered to a few words on the surface, and did not make any specific promises.

Through conversation, Suren also understood the identity of these nobles, and that lady was the lord of Wintercity, Count Elia. The remaining nobles were her vassals. Don't think that women can't inherit titles, in fact, it's not uncommon for women to inherit titles in Florence.

However, after a woman inherits the title, if she marries, her husband will also change her sex, and the child born must have her mother's surname if she wants to inherit the title.

After some conversation, seeing that Su Lun did not agree to their request, these nobles were not discouraged, this time it was just a temptation, but they still made a request to buy food and weapons from Zhenbei City.

When they fled from Wintertown, these nobles were short of food and weapons, and it was impossible to reassemble the rout without food and weapons. Su Lun thought for a moment and agreed, although these nobles are not very strong, they can also replenish their numbers, and if the orcs attack, they can also help defend.

However, the price of weapons and food was not cheap, and of course he did not slaughter it.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to take credit for such a thing, not even if it is a countess, although you have a pair of sapphire-like Carslan eyes, a slender figure, a curvy curve, a slender waist like a water snake, and a round and straight hip like a peach, you want to make people can't help but pat it, and it's a pity not to kick the slender legs of the three wheels, but these are not reasons for you to want to borrow money.

After Suren refused to pay on credit, these nobles could only spend money to buy them, and because they didn't have much money, they bought a month's worth of food for five hundred men and a few iron-clad weapons. This also made Su Lun sigh that the aristocracy was rich, and he could still come up with so much money at such a point.

If these people were willing to spend this money on the soldiers, they would not even be able to withstand a wave of orc attacks, and they would be directly broken by the orcs, but there is no if in this world.

Suren began his operation once again after talking to the nobles, and the Drow scouts led by Ayton did not return at all, and after dealing with the orcs in the previous camp, they continued to look for their next target.

There are two cities close to Wintertown, one is Colin City and the other is Northwind City. The two cities were about the same size as Wintertown, but their fates were completely different, with Colin City being overrun by the orcs and the City of the North Wind preserved.

On the one hand, the location of Colin City is just on the route to Carthusian City, and the other part is the Knights of the North Wind in the City of the North Wind, and the strength of the Knights of the North Wind can be ranked in the top three in the Northland. Of course, the main reason why the orcs did not attack with all their strength was here.

Outside the North Wind City, the orcs sent wolf cavalry to loot and harvest some grain, and the rest of the grain was directly burned by the North Wind City. Although the orcs did not send their main force to attack here, they still left a team of wolf cavalry and some orc armies, and their task was to watch and harass the humans, so that they could only hide in the city and could not support the city of Carthus.

Obviously, the orc's plan was successful, the North Wind City did not send troops, on the plain, the human light cavalry and the wolf are about the same speed, although the wolf has poor endurance, but it is enough to suppress the human light cavalry. As for the heavy cavalry, as long as the orc generals are not stupid, they will not fight hard at all. Rather, it is constantly harassing around. This has created a strange phenomenon, those who can catch up can't be beaten, and those who have been beaten can't catch up.

Therefore, the city of the north wind honestly blocked the city gate, and could only prevent the orcs from attacking.

After Colin City was captured by the orc army, the orcs said that all the food and supplies in it were looted, but it was still much better than Winter City, at least there were still quite a few people who escaped from Colin City, and Suren received information from Ayton to know that the orc camp in Colin City was only more than 5,000 humans.

The rest of the humans hid in the surrounding woods, and the orc army also left some men to garrison it. When Suren came to Colin City with his army, he found that the orcs here were very cautious.

Suren's sneak attack on the orc camp has been known to the orcs, and now all the orc camps have been raised on alert. It's just that even if they raise their vigilance, the result will still be the same for the army in Zhenbei City.

Taking advantage of the night, Su Lun used the shadow sky lantern to steal all the troops in Zhenbei City, and then directly attacked after approaching the orc's camp, the sudden war stunned the orcs, Zhenbei City easily opened the camp gate, and the next battle was still one-sided.

There are a large number of harpy banshees to help, the stones in the sky are like hailstones, continuous, the orc army can not even be lined up, a large number of orc soldiers were smashed by the stones and broken bones, although most of the stones thrown by the harpy banshees are only one or two catties heavy, but falling from a height of dozens of meters is still enough to kill.

After forcibly capturing the orc camp here, Suren once again took the 5,000 men with him, and at the same time began to gather the outcasts and rout troops around it. Most of the outcasts fled without food, and the food outside the city was harvested by the orcs, who had to dig wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.

Suren only built a porridge shack in the camp, and then a large number of hungry and unbearable outcasts and routs arrived, and Suren also took these people and transported them to the Blackstone Fortress. However, when Su Lun was collecting the exiles, he also ran into the nobles of Colin City, and these nobles knew that Su Lun was only a pioneer noble, and directly asked Su Lun to provide them with food.

Then he was severely educated by Su Lun, although he didn't hurt their names, but he still had to eat a lot of hardship, and Su Lun also forcibly snatched away the defeated soldiers and homeless people they had gathered, since you have no food, then leave it to us to help you raise it.

Suren found a reason to swallow the population, leaving only a small portion of them.
