Chapter 35 Friendly Consultations
Watching the several nobles who had reached an agreement leave one after another, Viscount Soter finally came back to his senses a little.
"That's it?"
Richard, who was looking at him, nodded earnestly.
"Of course"
“……”
It is no wonder that Viscount Sauter was a little dazed, in the negotiation just now, every agreement proposed by Richard was harsh, almost beyond the limit of the so-called theater commander's authority, pushing himself and others, if these terms were placed in front of him, he could not agree.
Just one thing, there is a shortage of horses in the north, and the cavalry of several families should be gathered together to form a joint cavalry capital, which will be commanded by the Hunter family, which is equivalent to seizing the command of other families in disguise.
At that time, at the conference table, Viscount Sauter's own eyelids jumped.
"Did they really say yes?"
"The covenant is clearly written, is there any falsehood?"
Viscount Sot still looked incredulous, and Richard could only take out the covenant to talk about things.
Although things like the covenant are like straw paper in the toilet in the hands of the weak, which doesn't have much effect, but it's different in the hands of the strong.
That's a name, if the weak dare not obey, I will clean you up, or take advantage of the reason to clean you up, don't worry about causing a backlash.
Of course, Richard still wanted to annex directly, just like he did to Will in the first place.
But this kind of thing can not be repeated, after all, no one is a fool, the order of the kingdom has not collapsed, the Hunter family can play a side game, and can barely get away with it under the protection of Lin Xuan, but if it really lifts the table, Richard asks himself if he doesn't have that strength, at least not yet.
However, with the strength in the hands of the Hunter family at this moment, there is no pressure to suppress the few territories around the Hunter family.
The three barons at the conference table had almost completely accepted their fate, only Viscount Nader wanted to speak a few times, and finally looked at the ten knights outside and forced back.
The whole process was friendly and cordial, Richard was responsible for speaking, and the rest of the people were responsible for nodding or hesitatingly nodding.
The last contract turned the chicken feather order arrow from Drifting Snow City into a real power.
Standing at the door of the council hall, looking at the group of knights around him, Viscount Sot couldn't help but ask:
"Richard, they?"
Richard naturally understood Viscount Sauter's question, and ten knights appeared at once, which was a little strange not to ask.
"Absolutely."
Richard could only answer like this.
"Good"
Although there were still many questions in his head, Viscount Sot continued to choose to trust Richard unconditionally based on the principle that if he didn't understand, he simply didn't want to.
……
As the sun set, a group of men and horses slowly advanced on the main road, and the morale of this well-equipped team was obviously not high, and the whole team looked a little dull.
"Big brother, is this agreement really signed like this?"
The people of the Nader family no longer have the ambition they had when they first came, and they all hung their heads and faces, and Viscount Nader had no intention of boosting their morale again, and he himself looked worried.
"If you sign everything, can you still regret it?"
In the face of his brother's questioning, Viscount Nader didn't have a good tone. Don't say he regrets it, even if he reverses time now, he has to sign it, and it really can't be done by those more than ten knights.
"Okay, one more individual think about it, when the ogre retreats this time, our Nader family will still be the Nader family."
The implication of Viscount Nader's words is that when the war is over, the so-called war zone commander will no longer have the right to order the Nader family, but just endure it for a while.
The sunset pulled the figures of the Nader family, and under the guidance of Viscount Nader, the Nader family finally recovered some of their spirits.
……
Drifting Snow City,
Although the temperature has slowly warmed up, the whole city is full of the atmosphere of slaughter, although there are often wars with the wilderness tribes in the north, but such a large-scale ogre tribe is attacking like this time, and the mobilization of almost the entire army of the Jingbei army has not happened for at least ten years.
The Jingbei Army is definitely worthy of the evaluation of the elite of a hundred battles, and within a few days the entire army has been ready for all the preparations, and only many soldiers are still tirelessly polishing their already sharp weapons.
The soldiers of the Jingbei Army were nervous or excited, but they had absolutely no fear of war, after all, ordinary soldiers could only win such a chance to advance through war.
The kingdom attaches great importance to military merits, and the Randster family is also fair, and every year in large and small wars, there are always so many small soldiers who are rewarded for their meritorious service, and the story of success in the position is spread, which attracts the soldiers to yearn for it, eager to be so-and-so in the next story.
……
A wind bird flew across the city wall at a very fast speed and flew into the aviary of the Marquis's Palace, and the soldiers waiting on the side hurriedly fed the precious wind bird some food, and then took off the paper tied to it, and then sent it to the Marquis Wade without a moment's delay.
"It's still here!"
Marquis Wade received the information from the wilderness, although the ogre tribe was not moving quickly, but it still traveled hundreds of kilometers towards the territory of the human race in a few days, and the intention could not be more obvious.
"Pass my order, the Jingbei Army will have a good rest today, and start early tomorrow morning to meet the ogre."
"Yes, sir."
The herald on the side immediately conveyed Marquis Wade's order.
Everyone made their final preparations after receiving the order to wait for the troops, Lint did not serve in the army because of his weak health, and would not follow the army to march, but Lint was always a little uneasy, and after thinking about it, he still found Marquis Wade alone.
"Father."
It was already dark, and Viscount Wade, who was dealing with the affairs of Drifting Snow City under the lamp, followed the sound and saw Lint who was visiting alone.
"Little Four, is there anything wrong with coming to me?"
Marquis Wade's tone was quite gentle, although he didn't pay much attention to this young son who couldn't be a knight, but he always had some licking feelings, not disgusted.
"I still have some thoughts about tomorrow's troops."
After Lint entered the door, he didn't talk much nonsense, and threw his worries directly to Marquis Wade.
"The beasts still know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, ogres can't say how stupid they are except for being savage, although thousands of ogres are powerful, they are by no means the opponents of our Jingbei Army, they are coming in such a bright light, I am afraid that there will be fraud."
Lint's meaning is also very clear, although there is no concrete evidence to prove that there is a trap, but you rule out the possibility that the top of this super-large ogre tribe is all fools, and the rest of the things can be easily pushed out.
Marquis Wade listened to Lint's words but didn't care a little, perhaps out of confidence in the strength of the Jingbei Army.
"It doesn't matter, there are no traps hidden in the entire wilderness, and the Sword Eagle Knight can see the surrounding hundreds of miles clearly in the sky."
Of course, Marquis Wade has a point in saying this, the Jingbei Army has the advantage of aerial reconnaissance, and the wilderness is a large flat terrain, so there is no ambush to hide at all.
"It's always right to be careful, I suggest that my father lead the army to reorganize after arriving at Fort Her, hoard supplies in Fort Hel, and then build a strong enough camp based on Fort Herburg, leaving enough men and horses to strengthen Fort Helburg's defense before attacking."
Fort Hull is a large castle in the eastern part of the wilderness, where the Hull family is located, because it is close to the wilderness, the whole castle is well defended, suitable for the rear road of the army.
Although Lint couldn't judge what traps would wait for the Jingbei Army in this war, he didn't think about victory, he thought about defeat first, and it was always right to manage the back road well.
After listening to Lint's words, Marquis Wade had a calm face, and after thinking for a while, he said:
"I'll think about it, you don't have to worry about these things, after I go on the expedition, you can just manage the logistics for the army in this city."
"Yes"
Lint didn't persuade him anymore, he knew his father Marquis Wade very well, Wade was a somewhat stubborn man, although he was talented, but he didn't allow others to tell him, these things were mentioned, and it might be counterproductive to keep saying them.
Exiting Marquis Wade's room, night had completely fallen, and Lint's deep eyes looked in the direction of the Western Wilderness, as if trying to see through what was hidden beneath the night......
