Chapter 333: Who is the winner
In the past, when Ma Long was there, they were naturally cautious and did not dare to come forward, even if they were unwilling, they could only sneak some small actions to ensure that they did not leak the bottom. [with _ dream]Δ
Now, taking advantage of the king's absence, he wants to make a big move to create certain facts.
thinks that even if Marlon comes back, there is nothing to be done about them.
I have to say that these people still have the ability, but they are too naΓ―ve.
The nobility that has been passed down from generation to generation, coupled with the monetary compensation given by Ma Long when he ruled the northern county, gave them enough financial resources to buy a large number of people.
"We now have enough combat power." Sitting at the top of the list, Count Max, who was once a well-known Count in the aristocratic circle of North County, was conveying his confidence to the participants below.
"Not only are there our people in the city guards of Zhongzhou City, but even several captains of the palace forbidden army have been bought, which is the credit of Baron Dahrendorf."
Everyone turned their eyes to a middle-aged man with blond hair, the so-called Baron Darrendorf.
"Haha......"
The baron showed a gentlemanly and reserved smile and said: "Although these people are knights, their strength is not bad, but after all, they are born with mud legs, when have I seen so much gold, I only took out the money, and one by one, my eyes were straight......"
"Hahaha......"
The nobles let out a hearty laugh, and they were always happy that someone had belittled these mud-legged people of the past, and now the mountain was high on everyone's heads.
In the first place, Count Max waited for everyone to laugh enough before nodding to Dahrendorf: "The money lost by the Baron for our sacred cause will definitely be compensated when the matter is completed, and the position of the right minister Malf will be yours at that time." β
Hearing Max say this, Dahrendorf got up excitedly and said, "Thank you, Lord Earl, ......"
"Haha......"
A group of people laughed again, with excitement and envy in their laughter, completely forgetting that their plan had just begun, and there were still 108,000 miles away from success......
After a while, a group of people finally stopped laughing, and Max said to an old nobleman with a stiff face below: "Please also ask Your Excellency Conde to introduce to you the formation of our army. β
The old man, Conde, was about forty or fifty years old, and his hair was already graying.
Seeing that he mentioned himself, he suddenly stood up, his movements were neat and crisp, his body was quite tough, and he was very military.
Bowing slightly to everyone, he introduced the situation he was responsible for, "Ma Long is really an idiot, forcibly retiring tens of thousands of knights who have experienced bloody battles on the battlefield, which facilitates our recruitment work, these people don't even need to be trained, they can be pulled directly to the battlefield!" β
"All knights?" Someone next to me asked.
Comte was a little excited: "Yes, all knights!" β
He couldn't help but be excited, Kong De was originally a knight, and he had led the army to suppress bandits many times in the past, and his combat experience could also be said to be rich, otherwise it would not be his turn to lead the army this time.
But after so many years of leading the army, he has never been happier than now.
Yes, it's happiness!
An army of 2,000 men was made up of knights, a scene he had never imagined before.
Now these people are under his command, just waiting for the time to come, he can lead them to charge, every time he thinks of that scene, his whole body will be unstoppably excited and trembling, and Comte is looking forward to this day......
Dahrendorf interjected: "We have only gathered two thousand people at the moment, and that is because the time is too short, and in a while I am sure that the number will be raised to five thousand......"
"No, don't do that!" Comte suddenly retorted: "It is already very difficult for us to hide these two thousand people, and if it is increased to five thousand, it will definitely be discovered." β
"What then?" Dahrendorf frowned, "There are nearly 10,000 knights in Zhongzhou City alone, and there are also many in the Northern Snow Mountain, and it is said that there are many more, and they are all knights......"
"Haha......" Conde let out a long laugh with confidence, "Baron, you are not from the army, I don't know that although the number on the battlefield is the reason for victory, it is not an absolute factor, especially in the city, when the time comes, as long as you act in time and take the palace in one fell swoop, then it is useless for the other party to have more troops!" β
In the first place, Max got up and said, "Then the matter of the army is entrusted to General Comte." β
"Haha, no problem!" Hearing Max call himself a general, Comte was very satisfied!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The so-called praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches, and when these old nobles are secretly discussing how to take advantage of Ma Long's absence to carve up Seris, it is also Zhongzhou City, and there are also a group of people who discuss them again.
Wang's ** Department, a small conference room.
"How's it going?" Harvey, who sat at the top, asked.
Below, Jack got up to report what he knew, "They're meeting again......"
"To be honest, I don't know why His Majesty attaches so much importance to these people? They are all incompetent, and they all think they are sorry.
"I calculated, the people they so-called bought were instructed by us, and the army they gathered was also arranged by us, and even the gathering of the leaders, every move was under our surveillance, I can't figure out why Your Majesty attaches so much importance to this group of guys, and deliberately avoided them because of them, and accepted the invitation of the barbarians to go to the north."
"According to me, it's best to pull it out and cut it directly!" John, who had only recently returned from the north, also added.
"Excuses."
"What?"
Harvey tapped Malone on the table with his fingers and said, "We need an excuse to do it." These people had all surrendered before, and it would always be bad to kill them silently.
"And these people have something to do with the nobles on Pei Yang's side, although we are not afraid, but it is always a trouble.
"Besides, the kingdom is not dead, and you can't kill people in normal times, but you don't have such scruples on the battlefield......"
"But Your Majesty doesn't really need to go to the north specifically for this matter, although I don't say that there is no news now, but it is really inconvenient to contact."
"Do you really think Your Majesty deliberately avoided it for their sake?" Harvey asked rhetorically.
"Uh......" everyone was speechless for a moment.
"Really?"
"That's right." Harvey confirmed: "Although these flies are annoying, they are not a reason for His Majesty to travel north, at least not his main purpose......
"What is the real purpose?"
"Hehe, my hands are itchy." John explained with a smile.
If you want to understand Ma Long, he has to have the most right to speak.
Everyone looked at John, and then at Harvey, who was in the first place, and seeing that he did not refute, they couldn't help muttering in their hearts, "Is that really the case?" β
Is His Majesty really so unreliable?
