Chapter 146: Stability

In view of Hale's goodwill, neither the nobles nor the paupers of the city of Smit had much resistance to his rule, which facilitated the implementation of Hale's decree. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After this great battle, the army brought by Hale from Youlan City has been broken, and the large number of soldiers who have surrendered are also a little commotion because Hale has not arranged their fate, and the current army is no longer suitable for large-scale military operations before it is reorganized.

While busy with political affairs, Hale began to carry out a large-scale reorganization of the army.

By now, Hale's troops had reached a terrifying 30,000 people, and only about 6,000 of the 10,000 troops Hale had brought from Youlan City.

When Hale invaded the city of Smitus, the four commanders who supported the city of Smits fled with their guards, and the commander-in-chief and the chief of the guard loyal to Fubot were both killed, so this time Hale basically did not capture too many high-ranking generals.

For the more than 30,000 soldiers, Hale left 20,000 of them in his old age, weakness, sickness and disability, and gave some severance pay to the eliminated soldiers to let them go home.

Hale selected soldiers with higher quality and less loyalty to Fubot to supplement the Guards, so that the Guards Corps was at full strength of 5,000 men, and then all the surrendered troops were scattered according to the establishment and mixed with the remaining 1,000 men of the Bo 6 Corps into four corps.

Thankfully, after more than half a month of fighting, Hale had two sixth-level peak sword masters, Soler and Dukale, finally breaking through the bottleneck and reaching the seventh-level sword master.

The four reorganized corps were named by Hale as the Boss 6 Corps, the 7th Corps, the 8th Corps and the 9th Corps, with Cazalaias still being the commander of the 6th Corps, Albert Puster as the Commander of the 7th Corps, Soler as the Commander of the 8th Corps, and Dukale as the Commander of the 9th Corps.

The reorganization lasted ten days, and the four mixed corps and Anna's Guards were initially ready to fight a battle, and Hale began to take over and conquer the homes of Smitters.

Hale ordered Zachareas, who was already able to handle military affairs, to lead the Shell 6 Brigade to defend the city of Smitus, and he himself led the rest of his army to the homeland of Fodeis, which had begun to stir after receiving the news.

Located in the northeast of Smits City, about five hundred miles in a straight line and only a hundred miles from the edge of the Cursed Lands, the Foddes Homestead is the northernmost home of Smits City.

At present, there are about 9,000 defenders of the Fodeth Homestead, including the original 4,000 defenders of the Fodes Homestead and the 5,000 troops reinforced by Fubott to the Fodes Homestead.

Judging from the battle report of the commander-in-chief of the Right Army, Badas, who came into contact with the defenders of the Fodes homeland, although the original defenders of the Fodes homeland were not inferior in equipment to the army reinforced by Fu Bote, their combat effectiveness was much worse, and they were not as good as the right army led by Badas.

The reinforced army was very powerful, and although the ranks of the soldiers were similar, they seemed to be able to deal with the battle formation in the corps operations, and they were obviously strictly trained soldiers.

The reinforcements of Fordets' homeland were originally subordinate to the Smiters Chengbo 1st Corps, which was the most elite unit under Fu Bot except for the Guards, and the commander-in-chief, Ma Long, was Fu Bote's confidant and general, and was loyal to Fu Bot.

Compared with the quietness of the Magnolian homeland reinforcement Smitters City Bo II Corps, who were also hit by the news of Fubot's defeat and suicide, Malone reacted much stronger.

According to the Badass report, since receiving the news of Fu Bot's defeat and suicide, Malone has attacked the camp of Bardas despite the objections of the owner of the Fodas homestead, and according to the spies who have infiltrated the city, Malone may have even placed Calvin Fordets under house arrest.

For this expedition, Hale did not go directly in the direction of the Fodes Homestead, but first occupied the Spalding Homestead, the gateway to the city of Smits from the west.

Most of the army of the Shipding Homestead was summoned to the city of Smitters by Fubott, and now there are only about 2,000 troops in the city, but the owner of the Spoulding Homestead, Stu Spoulding, is a loyal follower of Fubot, and in the face of the tens of thousands of troops gathered outside the city, he still issued an order to gather the young and strong people to defend the city.

Phil, the commander of Stu's appointed commander, was the commander who had escaped from Smites, and he had witnessed the heroic performance of the Sixth Brigade in the face of an enemy army several times his size and the army of Warcraft that Hale was looking forward to, and with the only 2,000 troops in his hands, he had long lost the determination to resist.

On the evening of the arrival of Hale's army, he sent someone to contact Hale, and agreed with Hale on a plan to dedicate the city on the evening of the second day.

With Phil's internal response, Hale captured all of Stu's soldiers at a small cost, and Stu himself was escorted by Phil to Hale's side.

In the hall, Stu scolded Hale and Phil, and learned about Stu's loyalty to Fubot, and Hale had no desire to talk to him, so he directly ordered someone to push Stu out and cut him down.

However, because of Stu's loyalty, Hale did not embarrass Stu's family, but only drove his family out of the main mansion, left them to fend for themselves, and buried Stu.

Due to the tight schedule, Hale only had a brief rest for two days in the Spaulding homeland before continuing the journey with Phil's army.

The Spalding Homestead is an important gateway to stop the invasion of Chesterton City, so before the expedition, Hale appointed Soler as the Guardian of the Spalding Homestead and temporarily acted as the owner of the Spalding Homestead, leading the headquarters to garrison the Spalding Homestead to prevent the forces in the Chesterton City area from invading Smitters City.

Out of the Spaulding Homestead, Hale led his army north, sweeping through the northern Witney, Melton, and Hobbes Homestead, arriving at the Hobbes Homestead nine days later to join up with Bardas's Right Army.

In the tent of the Chinese army in Badas, Hale sat on the chair, and Bardas and Clement led the officers above the brigade commander to visit Hale, and Hale introduced the newly recruited Albert and Phil and other generals to Bardas and Clement.

After all the introductions, Hale said to Bardas: "Bardas, has Malone made any big moves during this time?" ”

"Returning to Your Highness," replied Bardas, standing out of the ranks, "Marlon attacks the camp almost every other day, and each time it becomes more and more violent. However, the information transmitted from the city said that the morale of the Maroon army was becoming more and more unstable, although the officers above were loyal to Fu Bot, the soldiers below had no longer had the will to fight, and the officers loyal to the homeland owner Calvin Fordais had a conspiring movement to resist the Marlons. ”

"In that case, you have ordered someone to write a letter of persuasion, saying that as long as the soldiers who surrender to our army can each give their families fifty acres of land for free, their families will be exempt from taxes." Hale thought for a moment and said, "You ordered people to copy thousands of copies and shoot them into the city tonight, as long as their soldiers don't want to fight, this is not far from breaking the city." ”

"The last general commands!" After receiving the order, Bardas asked, "Your Highness, don't we have to recruit those officers?" ”

"In its current form, those officers who want to surrender will surrender even if we don't buy their positions, and those officers who are loyal to Fu Bot can't be recruited by us with their positions, but think that we are afraid of them." Hale said lightly: "What we have to do now is to fight a victory, to defeat the last illusions of those who are undecided, and to beat the generals who are loyal to Fubot to the cold. ”

The Kingdom of Chopin was founded more than 1,300 years ago in the city-state of Chopinte, under the leadership of Leighton Chopint, the thirteenth successor of the city-state of Chopinte, the southern and northern wars, destroying countless countries, and finally establishing the Kingdom of Chopinte, one of the four kingdoms now.

At that time, the Chopin Kingdom could be regarded as the overlord of the Adelan Continent, and wherever the army of the Chopin Kingdom went, it was invincible!

However, the Chopin Kingdom of the Megatron Continent has begun to decline now, and the king of the Chopin Kingdom, Farr Chopint, is even more ambitious and talented, in order to save the decline of the kingdom, he tried to emulate his ancestors and use force to shock his neighbors, but he does not have the eloquence of his ancestors.

First, he sent troops to invade the Kingdom of Orleans from the mountain city of Tulsa in the middle of the Cross Mountains, but was ambushed by the Orleans army in a canyon in the Cross Mountains, and the 100,000 troops successfully broke through with less than 3,000 people.

After the Orleans Kingdom hit a wall, King Farr turned to invade the Duchy of Brocknaro located in the Kingdom of Chobent, the Kingdom of Zams, and the Cross Mountains.

The two wars launched by King Farr not only did not open up the territory for the kingdom, but instead lost the territory, but also made the neighbors see the weak nature of the Chopantit Kingdom, and the armies of the countries around the Chopantit Kingdom were a little ready to move, trying to get a piece of the declining old kingdom.

After all, it is an ancient country that has been inherited for thousands of years, but its own heritage is quite deep, and in the face of the hungry wolves looking around, the army of the Chopin Kingdom went all out to finally resist their provocation.

After his defeat in foreign wars, the ambitious King Farr did not want to recuperate, but instead set out to deal with the elders of the kingdom who held real power but were not very obedient, especially those who had opposed him.

Just today, two earth-shattering events happened in Chobent, the capital of the Chopin Kingdom, one is that King Farr announced that the three dynasties of the Chopin Kingdom, the Grand Duke of Finland, and the sword saint Marshal Bont Field, are suspected of treason and defected to the enemy and are temporarily detained by the Soldiers and Horses, and the second is that Marshal Bont Field led the Third Guards Division to besiege the royal palace.

In fact, before starting to arrest Bont Field, in order to prevent Bonthe's counterattack, King Farr had already dismissed the commander of the Bont Guards Corps under the pretext of an excuse, and at the same time, the 1st Division and the 2nd Division, two divisions under the influence of Bont under the four divisions of the Guards Corps, were transferred out of Chopont City, and the officers of the other two divisions and regiments above the commander of the commander were either transferred or directly dismissed, and they were all rotated.

Who knew that as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, the influence of the Finnish Grand Duke Bonter Field in the army had penetrated into the hearts of the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, and the three guards divisions stationed in the city were all turned against by Bont Field, except for the division commander and a few officers above the commander of a thousand commanders.

Fortunately, Count Webb Cruise, the commander of the 4th Guards Division stationed outside the national capital, was also a battle-hardened general, and when he took over the 4th Guards Division, he installed a large number of cronies in it, which finally made Bonitzer fail to oppose the 4th Guards Division, and then reorganized the army and personally led the army to attack the rebellious 3rd Guards Division.

At the same time, Baron Layton Stirling, the commander of the Imperial Army, led the Janissaries guarding the palace to join forces with Count Weber Cruise, and soon crushed Bont Field's rebellion and forced the remnants of Bont Field into Chopont Cathedral.

This magnificent Chopin Cathedral was built in the early days of the Magicians' Headquarters State, has a history of four or five thousand years, and this church was the political center of the region during the reign of the Holy See, so the Holy See built this church into a fortress, and engraved a lot of intricate magic circles on the walls to increase the defensive function of the church.

Although with the collapse of the Magician Headquarters Country, the forces of the Illuminati can no longer control the secular power, there are still many believers in the Wizard Headquarters, and every year there are very right believers who come here to worship.

As a historic church, the Magician Headquarters sends people from the Holy City every five years to maintain the church, while blessing the magic circle on the walls of the church, and most importantly, collecting donations from the faithful.

Although Bont Field was a Juggernaut, he felt his own strength was small when faced with thousands of soldiers, and personal force was no longer very important here.

Bont Field had already been wounded when he retreated into Chopont Cathedral, otherwise he would not have run into the church to have King Farr come and catch turtles in an urn.

As a sword master, it is difficult to deal with even if he is injured, and in order to kill him, the king's army has already paid the lives of four ninth-level swordsmen and dozens of eighth-level swordsmen, one of which is the king's close guard, the ninth-level peak swordsman, Viscount Patter.

Given Bont Field's terrible record, the attacking side was a bit of a bogeyman, so they didn't dare to attack again.

The current king of Chopint, Farr Chobont, was furious when he saw that he could not attack for a long time, and boasted that whoever could kill Bont Field would be crowned a fiefdom and a hereditary duke.

In fact, Farr Chopon regretted it after he finished speaking, the duke is not just a casualty, but also a duke with a feudal title and hereditary replacement, even if the hero who opened up the territory of the kingdom and expanded the territory is only a marquis or earl. (To be continued.) )
