Although it is strange to say this, the cheers of the citizens of Nantes are probably not very happy for Alphonse, and most of the citizens are still venting their inner fears. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yes, fear.

Magnus was a bloodthirsty monarch, and rumors spread long before he laid siege to Fort Nantes.

And later, Magnus's performance certainly proved it.

- Whether he knew it or not, it was Odegar who he sent to attack Nantesburg, and Odega, the night of the bloodshed of Nantesburg, there were about 300 people in Nantesburg who did not survive.

The corpses that were cleaned up from the castle were piled up, and they are still littered in the field outside the city of Nantes and smelled, and the citizens of Nantes only had to look up to see the mountain of corpses.

The greatest fear is not death, but before it comes, and in this precarious sense of fear, the citizens of Nantes are about to go crazy.

And now, there is a turning point.

Magnus made a 'pillar of the south gate' - the devil knows what he was going to do, but it didn't matter - the important thing was that Magnus began to win the hearts and minds of the people, which meant that there would be no more massacres.

His own life was saved.

In troubled times, there is nothing more to celebrate than to be alive.

That's why these citizens of Nantes laughed, sang and danced.

And of course, Alphons, who 'announced' the news of peace for them, became their hero.

…… In fact, it was not easy to get Alphonse out of the happy and crazy citizens of Nantes.

The first is that Alphonse himself is exhausted and can only be at the mercy of the citizens, and secondly, the cheers of the citizens are overwhelming, and no matter how much Magnus shouts, his voice alone cannot be heard.

In the end, it was the soldiers who forcibly separated the crowd to save Alphonse.

After that, there is the legendary canonization ceremony and parade and carnival.

The main character is Alphonse.

As for Magnus, he disappeared after the canonization ceremony.

He went to recruit cavalry.

-- Some of them were in too much of a hurry.

Magnus's actions, both to appease the people and to recruit cavalry at the moment, seemed a little too hasty.

To appease the people, it is not necessary to use the South Gate Pillar, the South Gate Pillar is good, but the meaning of the performance is too strong, and it is easy for people to see the flaws; As for recruiting cavalry, we should wait a little longer, let these cavalrymen dry for two days, and wear down their arrogance.

But Magnus couldn't wait.

According to reliable sources, the army of the Count of Brest had been mobilized and was ready to move eastward.

This fellow, who thought he could be a fisherman, finally waited for the moment when the Duke of Brittany and Magnus were both defeated, or one dead and one wounded, and was ready to come and pick peaches.

When it comes to fighting, Magnus is really not afraid of him.

It's just an earl, although the status of the count is indeed not low, but the fiefdom of the count of Brest is in the westernmost part of Brittany, the border of Europa!

Remotely and desolately.

When the people of Europa look at him, they probably follow Magnus, an uneducated barbarian.

But Magnus really doesn't want to fight right now.

Even if Odega shouts that he is a loser every day, but Magnus is not really a loser, the money of those hired mercenaries is spent like flowing water every day, and Magnus himself is distressed when he looks at it!

Not to mention that he doesn't really have much money right now, and if he fights another war, his pockets will be empty, and he will have to roll and nibble on black bread.

Then, it's spring ploughing.

The spring breeze of recovery has awakened the earth, and the grass is fragrant everywhere in the wild, which is the most anticipated day of the year for farmers. Spring has arrived.

Spring has arrived, and the time for spring ploughing has arrived.

Needless to say, the importance of spring ploughing is needless to say, in the Middle Ages, even wars had to give way to spring ploughing, and any lord who did not let the peasants spring plough was not a good lord, and for the sake of spring ploughing, the peasants even had the courage to rebel.

Just because spring ploughing is the only source of food for the following year.

Especially in Brittany, it rains 200 out of 365 days a year, and if spring ploughing is missed, there is really no harvest this year.

So Magnus really didn't want to fight.

But the initiative in this war is not in his hands, this war, when to start is decided by the Count of Brest, and Magnus can only decide when the war will end.

That's why he had to give the Count of Brest some deterrent.

With overwhelming troops and overwhelming strength, he forced the Count of Brest to submit and achieve the goal of surrendering without a fight.

And when it comes to overwhelming strength, if there is no cavalry under them, these uninformed European lords will definitely not regard the elite infantry as part of their strength.

Cavalry is simply faith in the lords of the continent.

As the cavalry commander in the movie "Braveheart" said: "For two hundred years, you could not win a war without cavalry." ”

Magnus's men had no cavalry, and the only standard cavalry was borrowed, which in the eyes of the Count of Brest was tantamount to being undefended.

"So, the status of a knight, the fiefdom of a village, and the monthly salary, which of you would like to take refuge in me?"

In the large battalion where the cavalry is imprisoned, it is really inappropriate to say that it is imprisoned, for a 'noble' class such as cavalry. The average soldier didn't dare to guard it, so the rest of Magnus's Praetorian Guard was here, and the cavalry was free to move around except for the fact that they were not allowed to ride horses or carry weapons.

Now, after Magnus said the words of solicitation, the scene fell silent.

The sixty remaining able-bodied cavalrymen who had survived the war confronted Magnus, who was supposed to be their enemy, with a strange silence.

Truth be told, it's already half done.

What should a normal person look like when facing his enemy?

Gnashing of teeth, pain, clenched fists...... All of these are possible, but there are only two kinds of silence: one is so hateful that he can't speak, and the other is that he has no hatred at all.

The appearance of these cavalrymen, in Magnus's eyes, really did not see that there was hatred in their glasses.

Now the cavalry can't wipe their face, and no one wants to be the first, but once the first one appears, other estimates will follow immediately.

After all, to become a cavalryman, at least an adult in his twenties, there is no blood and impulse in his mind, whether this is progress or degradation, adults have learned to look at the world with a snobbish eye.

As the old saying goes, children only distinguish between right and wrong, and adults only look at the pros and cons.

So, on the evening of the second day, Magnus got his wish and got the refuge of forty horsemen, and as for the remaining twenty, perhaps they had already found a home, or perhaps they were ashamed to be with Magnus, in short, they chose to leave.

Still, it's enough.

It was enough to scare the Count of Brest.
