"Lord Duke, is this person credible?" Elizabeth asked in a low voice behind Allen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Whether he can be trusted or not, we have to be prepared for both. Go and inform the generals to come to the meeting. ”

"Yes."

After a while, Allen's men quickly gathered in Allen's tent.

"Generals, it's been a hard time these days. The victory in the Battle of Fort Como has dealt a heavy blow to the Kingdom of Lorraine, and I believe that the day of our victory is coming, and I hope you will hold on. For Essis! Alan was the first to get up and cheer.

"For Essis! For Ouranos! The crowd echoed in unison.

"Next, let's report on the situation of your respective troops."

The first to stand up was Guy, as the most senior and most prestigious military governor under Allen, he was the first to speak: "Lord Duke, after the Battle of Fort Como, although our army successfully defeated the army of the Kingdom of Rollin, our army itself was also seriously injured. Roland is attacking the city for a while, and he can't be in a hurry, so I suggest that he try it slowly. ”

"Yes, Lord Duke. According to the data sent below, the Essis phalanx infantry suffered the most serious losses, more than seventy percent, and the two thousand soldiers were now able to fight only five hundred. Several squads have been withdrawn. Alexander rose to echo Guy, his chest wrapped in a thick white bandage.

"The infantry of the Assis Legion is only about half of the combatable numbers."

"The losses of the heavy crossbow team and the bow team are not large, but the bows and arrows are in urgent need of replenishment."

"The Essis Assault Corps also lost almost half"

"The cavalry team has not suffered much loss and can continue to fight."

。。。

After everyone finished reporting, Alan pinched his head with a headache. After two battles, the battle damage was even higher than he imagined, and he originally thought that he would be able to continue fighting with only a few repairs, but now he had to change his plan.

"So, we can't launch a siege at the moment?"

"Lord Duke, in fact, it is better for us to suspend the attack on Roland City and seize the territory around Roland instead."

"Oh? How so? ”

Guy carefully explained: "First, Roland City has high walls and a large population, and it is not something that can be conquered in a moment. Second, compared to Roland City, the territories occupied by the large and small nobles are the real places where wealth is stored. ”

Guy was right, compared to the gorgeous and extravagant palace halls in the eyes of outsiders, those small nobles like misers were the real rich people. Although each of them cannot be compared with the wealth of the royal family. But from another point of view, gathering sand can become a tower. Most of Rollin's military forces have been routed by Allen, and the garrison in the territory of those nobles is definitely very weak.

And in doing so, it can also alleviate the logistical and financial crisis that Allen is currently facing. Although war can make money, it has to wait until the last moment of the end of the war, and before that, the same money is burned. Alan is just a duke, even if he made a small profit from the previous war, he is now struggling to make money.

Guy's idea has to be said to be very tempting.

Seeing that Alan was a little moved, Guy continued: "Lord Duke, although we have conquered Fort Como, we have nominally occupied East Lorraine. But the nobles of East Lorrain have not surrendered to you yet, and by dealing with them, we will not only be able to solve our worries, but also consolidate our power in East Lorraine. In this way, our war can be carried out without resistance. ”

Hearing this, Allen's eyes lit up, and at this moment, Guy seemed to see countless golden rays of light flash in Allen's eyes.

Alan patted Guy on the shoulder and said with some relief: "Your Excellency Sir Guy, your consciousness is getting higher and higher. You are right, although we have defeated the reactionary army of Rollin, there are still many nobles who still wield power in their territory and kill the people. This is something that I'll never allow in Ouranos! ”

"Everyone!" Alan came to the front of a group of generals, "Today's war between our Essis and Rollin is not only to avenge Rollin's invasion, but more importantly, we are a revolution!" Aristocrat, a word that was once full of glory. But now it has been tainted by those weak moths. The aristocracy has decayed, and the people are suffering. I, Alan Ouranos, will never say yes! I want the world to realize anew that the glory of the aristocracy is not based on blood, not on exploitation. It depends on the action of fighting for the country and the people! We have to wash away the dirt of this world and give her back its true face! ”

The generals in front of you, you stare at me and I stare at you, no one is at a loss, I don't know why Allen is here again. However, it was not easy to interrupt seeing Allen's passionate speech, so he could only listen carefully with his head down.

"Hannibal!"

"The minister is here!"

Alan said in a serious and righteous manner: "I know that although we defeated the evil alliance of the Rollin nobles, we did not really liberate the people of Rollin. Therefore, I have appointed you and your cavalry team as the Liberation Brigade of the Luolin Region, responsible for arresting all those Luolin nobles who are the party to the disaster and have no law, and those who dare to resist will be killed! As for the fat and ointment of the people plundered by the nobles, they were all handed over to the state treasury as the foundation of the revolution. ”

Hearing Allen's seemingly glorious words, the generals below couldn't help but roll their eyes, looking awkward. If Alan really wants to serve the people, he is a luxurious and corrupt nobleman, and the luxury of his Venus Manor has long exceeded the efforts of ordinary people in several lifetimes.

But to say that he was just looking for an excuse to satisfy his desire for conquest, but he really did a lot of good things for ordinary civilians. Whether it was the formulation of the Law of Essis, or the teaching of the Athens Academy. They are all defending the commoners and suppressing the aristocracy.

What exactly does Eren want? None of these generals who followed Allen's side and were born and died could see it. They don't care about that, though, they just know that by following Eren they will win! Except for Guy, who earned a knighthood by virtue of his military exploits before Allen's arrival, all of them started as civilians and soldiers. Without Allen, they wouldn't be able to reach their current heights in this life.

Compared with the embarrassment of other generals, Hannibal still maintained his calmness after reading thousands of sails. Although we don't know what happened to this general in his thirties, who seems to have experienced the ups and downs of the world and has not played much. But his loyalty to Eren is the highest of all.

"Yes!"

Alan looked at Hannibal with satisfaction and nodded, and then continued with a solemn face: "Everyone, here today, I solemnly announce to you here that from now on, the policy of my Essis is to fight the local tyrants... Bah! Hit the nobility! Divide the field! ”

"Hit the nobility! Divide the field! ”

"Hit the nobility! Divide the field! ”

Although the generals in front of them shouted weakly, none of them noticed. Behind Allen, the girl standing with a sword, Elizabeth. is looking at Allen's back with a look of adoration, his little face is flushed, and although his voice is not loud, it is extremely firm. (To be continued.) )
