Section 37 Carter's Rise to the City of Wucheng Riots
Carter was dissatisfied with the Knights' performance in Reesburg, and he was furious at the Barbarians' successful breakthrough.
After returning to Nedow, Carter gathered his own knights in the plain outside the city and reprimanded them in public: "You have nothing to be proud of, more than 10,000 people have surrounded Reesburg, and they have to let the barbarians in the city run away alive." What to brag about, if you can't win this kind of battle, that's a shame, what is there to brag about with such a victory? ”
Dimiss stood in the distance and listened quietly, and soon he came over and asked Carter in a low voice: "Lord Duke, these barbarian dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry, in order to survive, they killed very fiercely at that time, and they failed to besiege them, this is also a normal situation, you don't need to be so angry." ”
Carter glanced at Dimis and continued to reprimand the knights: "I said a long time ago, usually let you train more, train more, and train more." One by one, you don't think so, you feel that you have two hits, and who told you that you don't need to train anymore after training? Look at your virtues one by one, the slogans are shouted very loudly, and when you arrive on the battlefield, there are all kinds of negligence. I tell you, you don't have any excuses with me, let the barbarians run away, this is the final result, there is no reason to say. ”
For the army of knights who returned triumphantly, they all bowed their heads when they heard such a reprimand from the commander-in-chief.
After hesitating for a moment, Dimis continued to reprimand in place of Carter: "Do you understand what Lord Commander means, if one day you can practice the swordsmanship skills of Captain Aser, you can sleep lazily and eat meat and drink wine every day." But until then, all of you cheer me up every day and train hard in the training camp, otherwise you will die on the battlefield in the future and you will not know how you died. The commander taught you a lesson, and that is also for your own good, if you don't practice your skills at home, and you die on the battlefield in the future, what will you use to enjoy a good life in the future? ”
A knight stepped forward and asked innocently, "But Commander Dimis, we have been training in the camp on time every day, and the brothers are not lazy." ”
Carter replied, "Then it's a matter of method, and the training schedule has to be adjusted, taking into account the exercise of various adaptability." ”
Speaking of this, Carter turned his head sideways and asked, "Dimis, I heard that a new set of knight training methods has been carried out in Cook in the Northern Kingdom, and it seems that there are several items to distribute the training of knights. Do you know the specifics? ”
"Oh." Dimis frowned and replied, "I've heard about it. Cook was an expert in the training of knights, and he first focused on training the knights' physical strength, endurance, reflexes, and courage; Then he was trained in swordsmanship, marksmanship, shooting, and horsemanship. There are training camps in various parts of the northern country, and there are many special training grounds in the camps, and it is said that even ordinary people can enter and participate in training. ”
Carter smiled after hearing this, and he said aloud: "I think they are mostly entertaining, training ordinary people to do something." The barracks are the barracks, there is no child's play, we pay attention to the most formal training, and those who are afraid of hardship and tiredness should not come to be knights. The chief knight gave me a rank. ”
When the five chief knights heard this, they immediately stepped forward and saluted together and replied, "Yes, Lord Duke." ”
Carter pointed to the five of them and said loudly: "From today onwards, add training in physical strength, endurance, reflexes, and courage to your training, and the specific method refers to the training camp in the Northland. Two days ago, many noble knights fled from the north, and I will ask them to describe the content and methods of training in detail, and you will give me exactly the same arrangement. If I see someone who is perfunctory and lazy in dealing with me, I will not spare it. ”
The knights replied in a loud voice, "Yes, Lord Duke. ”
Hearing the knights' answer, Carter relieved himself and gestured to the nobles who had fled from the north on the side, and asked the knights to take them to arrange.
Carter, accompanied by Dimis, then slowly walked out of the camp.
After a while, Miro ran over out of breath and reported to Carter, "Lord Commander, Cologne has sent someone to deliver a letter and want you to go to Dragon City. ”
Dimis turned his head and replied: "He said to go, he thinks he Cologne is who, and there are still slanders of our Duke everywhere in front of him, don't pay attention to him." ”
Carter looked up at the sky slightly, and then asked, "What is he for?" ”
Miro followed Carter's side, and replied as he walked: "Isn't this going to pay taxes again, the newly taken over Wucheng territory of Cologne has a lot of opinions, and it seems that he is very dissatisfied with Cologne, the new lord, and openly refuses to pay taxes for Dragon City." ”
Dimis frowned and asked, "What?" What do these nobles in Wucheng want to do, can't they still rebel? ”
Miro smiled casually: "You really say it, those nobles are Odosa's former cronies, they think that the hanging of their duke in Dragon City is an insult to the territory of Wucheng, these people are claiming to avenge Odosa, claiming to form a large army to attack our Dragon City." ”
Carter sneered: "Hmph, attack our Dragon City? Let's talk about dreams! It's just a bunch of insatiable aristocrats, and these are just excuses for them, and their purpose is nothing more than to divide and rule and establish themselves as kings. ”
Dimis hurriedly said: "We can't let their plot succeed, otherwise other territories will follow suit, and we must immediately send troops to exterminate these evil guys." ”
"Not busy." , Carter raised his hand and said: "Cologne will not hesitate to turn his face to snatch the territory of Wucheng, and the affairs in the territory will naturally be solved by the lord himself, since this is the case, we will sit and wait to watch the show." ”
Dimis frowned and asked, "But Cologne doesn't have many people at the moment, so are we going to let things develop?" Ignore it? ”
Carter turned his head to look at Dimis and said, "What are you anxious about, doesn't he still have a Spart?" If the matter is serious, wait for him Cologne himself to beg me, and then I will have to ask him to reward the Wucheng territory to the others. ”
After saying that, Carter walked away and never talked about it again.
Ten days later, a dark cloud shrouded the land of Wucheng, and the aristocratic rebels captured Wucheng and ransacked the Duke's palace in Odosa, and the territory of Wucheng fell into complete chaos.
Under Cologne's repeated urging, Spat had no choice but to appoint the knight chief Deran to lead an army of 1,000 knights to Wucheng to suppress the rebels.
Deran served as the chief knight under Spartt for many years, and has a wealth of combat experience in leading the knight army, and is the only person under Spart's command that he trusts the most. When Deland led the army to quell the rebellion, everyone except Spartt was not optimistic about Deland, and even Carter and Dimis felt sorry for him.
But the facts surprised everyone, Delan, who came to the territory of Wucheng, did not rush to attack Wucheng, he first quickly crusaded against the garrisons of the nobles in various places, rescued the imprisoned righteous nobles, and called on the people to join the team to deal with the evil nobles.
The territory of Wucheng was ruled by Odosa for many years, and Odosa's greedy rule made the people in the territory miserable. After the evil nobles seized Wucheng, in order to quickly form more armies, these nobles forcibly seized the people in the territory, causing the people to bear it and supporting the army of Deran.
The aristocratic rebels, who had lost their popular base, were swept away by the winds of Deresa, and soon they were left with only one lonely city.
When Delan led a large army of knights to besiege Wu City, the arrogant nobles saw that Delan only had a thousand knights, and they did not hesitate to open the city gate and take the initiative to attack.
The rebel armies of the nobles were improvised, the cavalry was completely untrained, and the vast majority of them were from their noble children, who had no prestige and no fighting prowess at all.
As soon as the battle began, the rebels suffered a panicked rout, and the army of these nobles was vulnerable to the knightly army, and the army of several thousand men was no match for the two guards of Derean. The disparity in strength completely crushed the fighting spirit of the nobles, and the phenomenon of surrendering out of the city occurred every day.
When Delan led the army into Wucheng, Delan was surprised to find that the rebels in Wucheng had already had civil strife, and the city was full of corpses and a mess all around.
After Derain captured the city of Wu, he immediately reported to Spart, who was stationed in Langta, and Sparta sent a piece of paper to Cologne.
After receiving the news that the territory of Wucheng had been recovered, Cologne was overjoyed, and he immediately summoned Spartt to Dragon City, rewarded Spartt with the title of Earl of Spartt in public, and rewarded Spartt with the territory of Wucheng.
In the matter of the riots in Wucheng territory, Carter and Dimis seriously underestimated the influence of Cologne, they ignored that Spart's reaction would be so positive in this matter, and they didn't expect that Spartt would have such a powerful knight under his command.
When Spartt and the Knights switched to Wucheng territory, the people in Carter's camp fell silent.
Several regiment leaders sat together, and a strong bonfire was burning in the middle, and the mutton soup in the pot had already boiled, but everyone did not move.
After a long time, Xiao Daocheng finally stood up, and while scooping the mutton and soup, he said: "Cologne's power is not because he has the support of nobles such as Odosa, nor because he has the territory of the Sunny Waters, but because he has a son of Spart, the champion of the last knight competition. ”
After speaking, Xiao Daocheng handed the bowl of mutton soup to Carter, then replaced it with an empty bowl, continued to scoop the soup and said: "Spartt rarely makes a move, so much so that we all underestimate his true strength. I can say that Spartt's ability to command the Knights is not inferior to any of us here, and his personal swordsmanship is not necessarily able to win him even by Cook. Don't believe what I say, he's not powerful, but look at his knight Delan at a glance. ”
Carter looked at Xiao Daocheng silently, he frowned and asked: "I used to hear you talk about how powerful Spartt was, but I didn't expect him to hide so deeply, and one of the knight captains under his command performed better than the average regiment leader." If that's the case, we'll have to worry about what we're dealing with Cologne in the future. ”
Arcel sighed with emotion: "Yes, at least you can't force it on the surface, otherwise Spartt will definitely make a move for Cologne." ”
After hearing this, Dimis sneered and said, "Hehe, Spartt has his own principles, and he rarely goes to help his father Cologne." This exception, after all, was a riot in the territory, and Yu Gong and Private Spartt had to help. This time Cologne has a long face, and I believe that after this incident, Cologne will be triumphant, and then he will be more daring. However, if Cologne openly breaks with us one day, Spartt will definitely not sit idly by, after all, Cologne is his father, so this matter will still be difficult to handle. ”
Xiao Daocheng stretched out his hand and handed the bowl of soup to Asser, turned his head and said to Dimis: "But then again, he is just a Spart, no matter how powerful he is, he can't deal with so many of us at the same time." When that day comes, we'll just lose a few more knights, and it's not a big deal. Of course, if we can avoid such a situation, we will definitely try to avoid it. ”
"Hmm." , Ka nodded and said: "Xiao Daocheng is right, we should give priority to Knight's interests in everything." We have to go all out to win over a talent like Spart, and I believe that he and our goals are the same, all for our Knight to be better in the future. ”
Dimis took a sip of soup, happily chewed the mutton and said: "No, we can wait slowly, I believe that with Cologne's character, sooner or later he will be killed by himself, and we won't need to do anything when the time comes." ”
Asel said happily: "It would be great if it could be like this, and it would be much more convenient to fight for Spartt when the time comes." ”
Dimis shook his head and said, "But we also have to be careful, if one day Cologne is gone, he Spartt may have a second choice, and that is the Northland." ”
As soon as he heard the word Northland, Carter's face immediately became gloomy, and he didn't know when Northland had become the most unpredictable thing in Carter's heart, and it had been bothering him.
