Chapter Twenty-Nine: The West Dominates England (9)

The celebration of Caernarfon, the largest fortress in Wales and the capital of Ireland and Wales, was also celebrated.

Prior to this, Her Majesty had suppressed a rebellion in Ireland by brutally killing its leader, her nephew, and imprisoning her nephew's mother, her sister, and publicly executing all those involved in the rebellion.

After all this, the queen set foot on Welsh soil again, and suddenly the offensive and defensive momentum of the whole Wales was reversed, and the United Kingdom and its elven covenant, a total of 30,000 troops, roared and swept through the entire Welsh region, killing all the tens of thousands of English troops stationed there, and the corpses were hung on both sides of the road to warn everyone, announcing a fact to the world.

King arthur......

It's back......

While the Welsh region is turbulent, Randy is still dreaming of his spring and autumn dreams, slowly making his way to London.

By the way, take care of the gold coins and dot rolls in the water!

Although the destruction of York Town was very happy before, it was a huge project to repair and maintain.

All kinds of buildings, agricultural buildings, stone city walls, as well as supporting officials, urban management brigades, public facilities, and so on.

Fortunately, Randy only has one city in the entire land of England, and there is no need to build roads between each other, so Randy currently has some money in his pocket, but Randy has clearly felt that his army is somewhat insufficient, and in the land of England, there is no place to replenish his army.

After using Enides and ordering him to work hard to produce a large number of troops in three cities in Norway, and replenishing the lost army in Yorktown, Randy began to ask Enides some basic information.

"Enlighten the host, Norway has built a batch of light ballista warships, according to your design, the propeller system of the loach ship is installed on the light ballista warship, and the improved ballista warship is made with greater speed and maneuverability, and does not need to make too much use of wind power...... Also, the social division of labor in scientific research institutes, plate chain composite armor, has been studied, and after obtaining the English longbow, the research on the longbow is also about to be completed, but there is still a problem here. ”

"What's the problem?" Randy asked.

"That's the material for making the longbow, and the Purple Shirt only grows in the south, in Spain and Italy in the Mediterranean climate, and before the Purple Shirt Wood trade with the Spanish countries or the Italian city-states, even if the longbow is studied, it will not be able to produce the longbowman, and in the people under your rule, if you choose the English and Welsh as the longbowmen, there will be an additional bonus, just like using the battle axe with the Viking race."

"Well, I see, the Italian city-state, isn't it?"

Nowadays, Norwegian commerce has become very developed, and all kinds of animal skins, berries, pottery, and goods that can be sold at that time in the Nordic forests, and the treaty of commerce has been signed with Venice, two small northern Italian countries, during the previous pilgrimage to Rome.

Those merchants wanted people from all over the world to come to their cities to trade, so the trade treaty was signed very smoothly.

Then then just order the merchants to import yew wood, after all, the merchant ships that Norwegian merchants sit on are provided by Randy, and you can reach Italy along the Rhine River south, and you can reach the Eastern Roman Empire along the Elbe River South, and it is very convenient to trade if you want to, and now in this year, the concept of inland river sovereignty has not yet been generated, the shipbuilding industry of most countries is very underdeveloped, and no one will charge navigation fees or anything along the way, in short, you can really make money if you can make money, Although most of the money was earned by the damned Italian city-states......

Randy hated it when he thought about it!

"Sooner or later, one day will slaughter you profiteers,"

In this way, the problem of the longbow is solved.

"The scientific institutes that study the armor continue to study the armor, the light chain mail used by horses, and the scientific institutes that increase the defense of horses, continue to study the armor of horses, and now begin to study the written law, and the kingdom now needs a good legal foundation." Randy said to Enides.

"Yes! The study begins. ”

"Warm reminder, the host has finished researching the social division of labor technology, and the output of the workshop has increased, and it can be upgraded to a small factory."

"Wait for this thing, there's no need to upgrade it so far, by the way, build a textile workshop in Oslo and upgrade to a textile factory."

"Textile Workshop Upgrading ......"

"The recruitment of new recruits has been accelerated because the light ballista battleship has been upgraded, and now it only takes ten days to cross the entire North Sea."

"Yes! But I think my current strength is still too small. ”

"Is it less? You now have 7,000 troops under your command, and all of them are professional troops, plus your Dwarven Covenant, a total of nearly 20,000 troops, you still have more than 25,000 troops in your hands, isn't it a dream to sweep the British? ”

Randy sighed softly, shook his head, and said, "Just now the spy passed me a message that the United Kingdom of Ireland, Wales, a total of 30,000 troops, walked out of the Welsh forestry area and began to advance in the direction of London. ”

"So the host is worried about this!"

"Enides, tell me quickly, now how can I increase my combat effectiveness as quickly as possible, the other side can easily crush the 20,000 rebels in the country, and then cross the Irish Sea non-stop, eliminate more than 15,000 English, and the remaining monster commander who continues to attack, if the two sides are equal, I am very likely not his opponent."

"If you want to explode, I'll give the host two suggestions!"

"First, use the point roll and life to explode the troops, but the host's current point roll has been spent, and it is even more impossible to use life to explode the troops, so I recommend the host to use the second method."

"Explode mercenaries!"

"I guess mercenaries don't need me to explain more, the host should have understood 100 years ago, right?"

"It's clear! According to the different mercenary organizations, some of them can be imitated, and some of them are not as good as prostitutes. ”

Enides continued: "Every time the Knight Host moves to a region, it can recruit mercenaries unique to that area, although the cost is a little higher than that of ordinary soldiers, but the combat effectiveness is strong enough, and even some powerful mercenaries have more combat effectiveness than ordinary professional soldiers. ”

"It's much better than the starting point voucher exchange, isn't it?"

"That's pretty much it, but it costs a lot of gold to maintain a mercenary force, so you'll have to be prepared."

"Wouldn't it be okay to disband them all after the war? That's what I did 100 years ago. ”

"Good idea, good idea!" Enides was a little speechless.

"So how can you use the system to recruit mercenaries?"

"Open the system interface, turn to the mercenary option, there will be the number of mercenaries in the area, the type, the price, "

Following Enides' ascension, Randy opens the mercenary system in the area.

Sure enough, there were a total of 500 hired longbowmen, 1,500 mercenary spearmen, 500 highland axes, and 150 ranger knights, wandering knights, and rogue knights in the area.

"I didn't expect that in the territory I just leveled, there are so many guys who lick blood from the knife edge." Randy was a little surprised.

"The host doesn't need to be so surprised, after hiring all these people, it only takes three months to recover, and theoretically, there is no limit to hiring." Enides said.

"Three months, three months later, let's talk about it in three months! Hire all of them first. ”

After recruitment, a total of 2,650 mercenaries joined Randy's faction.

Randy's battleable soldiers instantly exceeded 10,000, barely a little stronger than the surging King Arthur, which also gave Randy some self-confidence.

Just a little bit of self-confidence, of course.

And this little bit of self-confidence was also wiped out after the bloodless surrender of Nottingham, a castle in the south of England.

Logically, this is a good thing.

Alfred's guy did not lead the crowd to defend the city, but chose to flee directly back to London, which made it easier to occupy LinkedIn.

But the reality is that London was not captured by us!

Just now, Admiral Carter came with the news that the Thames River was blocked by enemy scuttled ships, so Carter and his team could not complete the combat mission.

Another most infuriating point is that the 30,000 troops of the United Kingdom directly surrounded the whole of London, and even some damned Celts actually launched an attack on the Norwegian Navy.

Although Norway and the United Kingdom have not signed an alliance, they can be considered allies! I can't imagine that he actually attacked our navy! MD!

At this moment......

London City ......

The same problem plays out between different characters......

When the knight under her command asked herself, the Celtic queen snorted lightly and said with extreme disdain: "Knowingly ask." ”

It is indeed a knowingly questioned, and such a question is not so much because of one's own lack of intelligence, but rather because it is more appropriate to question the other party.

"Now that the English are incomparably weak, and the Scots are about to fall into civil strife because of the defeat of the king, it is a godsend that the Celts should lift their spirits and dominate the British Isles."

Immediately afterwards, the queen looked at her courtiers who were still a little unconvinced, and explained: "And the various forces on the British Isles are no longer afraid, then our ultimate enemy is the Viking and Dwarf coalition with a strong army, those Vikings want to conquer the British Isles, we Celts are their worst enemies, the contradictions between the two sides are completely irreconcilable, not to mention that we have not signed an alliance with them, even if we do, it is impossible to abide by it." ”

"Besides, at least half of that army is dwarves, and there can be no peace between them and us." Sitting on the other side, his face was covered in all kinds of strange green patterns, and his body was also decorated with a lot of leaves and dead grass, and he looked like a wild man.

It is naturally not a small character to be able to sit here, and his slender ears still wearing stone earrings, as well as the longbow of one meter and two long behind him, also indicate his identity.

Genie!

A terrible wild elf born and raised in a real forest, and at the same time a longbowman under King Arthur, the commander of the elven mercenaries, a ruthless fellow, according to the classification of mercenaries that Randy said, then this guy is definitely the kind that is worse than the prostitute's temperament.

"That's right! The dwarves! ”

King Arthur snorted lightly, and his cold eyes suddenly stared at the elf mercenary leader, Rao is this person is murderous, but he still can't resist the king's eyes to glance at it, the mercenary leader only feels cold, like a snake that has not found a hibernation place in winter, and cannot move at all. And this feeling only disappeared in an instant, briefly making the mercenary leader think that he was just delusional.

"This damn bastard, if not he would be useful." King Arthur secretly gritted his teeth.

In the previous Viking invasion, the Celts and Saracens joined forces to defeat the Dwarven Viking coalition, but in fact things were not quite what the Dwarves imagined, and the previous Dwarven King was not defeated and died, but was captured by King Arthur.

Although King Arthur was only sixteen years old, he was born to be a master of the battle array, so he could naturally see that the dwarves could help, and if they obtained the friendship of the dwarves, then their sophisticated forging skills and siege machinery manufacturing technology would definitely increase the Celts' combat effectiveness by a large margin.

Therefore, King Arthur did not embarrass the dwarven king too much, but gave him a very good treat, and wanted to talk to him about the alliance after two days.

But it was all ruined by the damned mercenary leader, the damned bastard who had been filled with horse urine, and secretly infiltrated the dwarven king's tent and killed him, citing the feud between the elves and the dwarves.

The mercenary leader relied on his own identity and the strong military support of the two thousand elven longbowmen behind him, and he believed that King Arthur would not kill him after weighing the pros and cons, after all, the dwarf king died, and the relationship between the Celts and the dwarves became hateful, and if she lost the support of the elves again, it would really be worth the loss.

And the end result was the same as the mercenary leader imagined, he lost the trust of King Arthur and the resentment of the entire Celtic race, but in the end he did not lose his life.

Of course, the mercenary leader also has his own calculations in his heart, and even in a sense, he has to do it as a last resort.

Just kidding, if we let that hook up with the dwarves, what's the position of our elves?

The old stubborn dwarves would definitely ask that bitch to banish us from her army, and for the sake of the damned dwarves, and their disgusting soot-stained armor and weapons, that bitch would certainly do the same, she already had enough longbowmen under her command that we elves were dispensable to her, but not the dwarves.

So, in the final analysis, it's because of interests......

Recruit a group of mercenaries again in Nottingham, expand the number of mercenaries to 5,000, and at the same time wait for reinforcements from Norway proper, and re-replenish the regular army to 8,800 people, now Randy has an army of 13,000, plus an army of 20,000 dwarves, Randy is finally relieved.

And this waiting for soldiers is more than ten days, and Randy did not go south, nor did he go north.

However, none of the three forces, one south and one north, have forgotten Randy.

At this time, Randy looked at the four letters from different forces in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh like this.

"Turning the clouds and rain towards Qin Dusk Chu, in fact, it's not a big deal, the so-called head-killing business is done, and the loss-making business is not done."

The letter in Randy's hand reads as follows:

Alfred the Great sent a letter asking for help, promising to cede all of England to Randy and leave the city of London for his own retirement. But does Alfred have any other territory than London now?

King Arthur Asteria sent a letter asking for help, first wishing Randy good luck, and began to tell about the twisting alliance between them, willing to be with him for a hundred years or something, a lot of good things were said, and there was no substantial benefit at all, let alone the attack on the Norwegian Navy a few days ago.

The letter of Robert II, the new king of Scotland, tells the story of a defection led by a certain mad William Wallace, who was finally nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and repeatedly hoped that this incident would not affect the relationship between Scotland and Norway.

The most interesting thing is that Edward's letter to Randy actually asks for the inheritance of the throne of England in exchange for the inheritance of the French throne, Randy really doesn't understand what Edward thinks?!
