Chapter 335: Changes in Drifting Snow City (1)
In Drifting Snow City, several elders of the Lancet family got together again to discuss some things secretly.
"The Hunter family has already sent troops, and they are obviously coming for us in Drifting Snow City."
The dispatch of the army Richard did not hide at all, and the troops were basically able to come to the city in ten days, and the Lancet family obviously had their own sources of information in Ironwood City, and as soon as Richard sent troops, they received information.
"How many men did they dispatch?"
"The number is not much, there are only 50,000 troops in total, but according to the spies, the army of the Hunter family also brought four dragons!"
"Four dragons!"
The patriarchs below who don't know the specific situation are obviously taken aback by this number, if there are 50,000 troops, Drifting Snow City may be able to fight against one or two with a strong city, but the four dragons are an inexplicable existence in their eyes, let alone the four dragons, they have no confidence in the last dragon at all.
Drifting Snow City is no better than orcs and dragons fighting for so long, there are already certain countermeasures, the Lancet family was a loyal minister of the kingdom before, who has ever considered fighting against dragons, they have to be blind if they come to any dragon.
"Elder Igor, he should have received the letter he sent to Young Master Lint earlier, right?"
"The letter sent by the wind bird should have been received a long time ago."
"Are we raising our conditions too high?"
"Hand over Drifting Snow City and its direct territories, the army accepts the reorganization of the Hunter family, and only retains the property of each of the three castles and the marquis position of the Lancet family, we are no different from surrendering!"
"However, there are four dragons on the other side..."
As soon as he said this, this secret small conference room fell into a short silence, after the gap in strength between the two sides was too big, even the negotiation was so unconfident, it was really too outrageous for the Hunter family, even the kingdom only had five dragon knights, and now the Hunter family made four heads, so that everyone could mix.
"If the Hunter family wants to get a complete Drifting Snow City, they have to cooperate with us, and our conditions are not too much."
"Okay, the conditions have been negotiated with Young Master Lint, don't be suspicious here, we are here today to discuss how to complete those conditions, and let the Hunter family take over Drifting Snow City within a week."
"Our Lord James of the Northlands doesn't want to surrender at all, listen to the servants in the Marquis's Palace? After receiving the information that the Hunter family's army was dispatched today? Jaime broke a few more teacups in the mansion, and was gathering a few legion commanders to fight the Hunters to the death. ”
In the words of this patriarch? With obvious sarcasm? Mocking James's inadequacy, only the First Legion of those legions still has some combat effectiveness? The three newly recruited legions in the back, the level of training is average? No combat experience? It's stronger than the militia, where is the opponent of the Hunter family's army, that is a strong army that can sweep the wilderness against the orcs, not to mention that the other party has a dragon to help? If you really want to fight, aren't you looking for death?
"This James? I really don't know how important it is. ”
Several elders frowned a little when they heard Jaime's reaction, although Jaime said that this northern marquis was subject to a lot of constraints, but after all, he was not a real puppet, he still had a group of his own supporters, and he really wanted to fight against the senators? It can still cause some trouble.
"Let him watch him closely, and don't let him do anything stupid."
"Don't worry, right? Jaime has someone around us to keep us informed of his movements, so we can get the latest information on anything. ”
"The First Legion's Ozer we have also been in contact with? He should have been willing to surrender, but his original words were that he was willing to serve Young Master Lint. ”
Ou Ze was also the commander of the Fifth Army of the Jingbei Army? Stayed in Drifting Snow City when Marquis Wade set out on his expedition? When the main force of the Lancet family is gone? Instead, his Fifth Legion became the most powerful First Legion.
When Lint and the Senate fought for power, Ou Ze was a wall-riding faction, tightly pinching the military power and not standing in line, but now it is not okay not to stand in line, compared to others, Ou Ze is a professional soldier who knows the gap between the two sides better, and if he really wants to fight with the Hunter family according to Jaime's order, isn't that going to die. Therefore, as soon as the senators came into contact with him, he expressed his attitude, but he wanted to raise his own value and did not want to be under the senators, so he mentioned to serve Lint.
"This Ou Ze, at this time, he still cares about this."
"Okay, Ou Ze's first legion must be won, the threat of other legions is not great, as long as Ou Ze is willing to cooperate with us, the other legions are not a big threat."
In addition to the First Legion, these post-formed legions are not only average in combat effectiveness, but also infiltrated like a sieve by the Senate, especially after Lint left, they were replaced by many of their own cronies, compared to Lint, Jaime is too simple.
Jaime only knew about arranging his own people in the position of army commander, but he didn't know that if the middle and lower classes couldn't control it, they controlled the tribal army, and besides, the people he thought were not necessarily his people.
"Jaime wants to reorganize the army to face the battle, and I don't know what to do next, contact Ou Ze, let the people in the Marquis's Mansion also prepare, and control Jaime in the past two days, so as not to have too many dreams at night."
"Elder Igor, you contact Ou Ze again, Elder Andessa, the inner house in your Hou Mansion should be ready, and we will do it the day after tomorrow."
"Hmm!"
"Okay, let's go back and prepare first, be careful in the past two days, don't have any accidents."
…
Marquis' Palace
Jaime got up early in the morning, and after doing his daily training, he was lying on his desk and began to take care of his official duties, and said that Jaime had not had a few happy days since he became a marquis.
Lack of money, food, and soldiers, the well-organized things that could be handled in Lint's hands became a complete mess when he arrived, and the group of old fellows of the Senate who were obedient when Lint was in power, and when he came to power, they restrained him everywhere, and I really wanted to kill two Liliwei like Lint did at that time.
It's a pity that this kind of thing can only be thought about, Lint's strength at that time was not comparable to him at all, if he dared to attack the Senate, it would be difficult to say whether he would sit firmly in this position.
"Why didn't today's military report be delivered?"
Jaime, who had been reading the official document for a while, suddenly noticed that a military newspaper was missing, and asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Well, we didn't receive a military report today."
This military report is a report on the movements of Richard's army, and the spies of the Lancet family will be very responsible every day to send the situation of Richard's army directly to Drifting Snow City through the wind bird, and then there will be a special person to report directly to the Hou Mansion.
Ever since he discovered that the Hunter family army was moving, Jaime had demanded that the military newspaper be placed on his desk every morning.
"Forget it, get ready, let's go to the barracks together."
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
Although Jaime has average ability, he is not stupid, he knows where the focus should be at this time, and it is always right to grasp the army first, and he has to go to several major legions every day for the past two days to inspect it, just to maintain a sense of presence and control the army.
"Lord Marquis! There were soldiers outside, and the Marquis's palace was surrounded. ”
"What?"
Jaime, who was waiting for the servants to be armoured, was startled, and his face was full of incredulity.
"Who is surrounding the Hou Mansion?"
"A few veterans are leading the way, and they are confronting the pro-military camp at this moment."
"These old guys, I haven't bothered them yet!"
"Gather the soldiers of the Hou Mansion and follow me to have a look!"
"Yes!"
