Chapter 488. The Covenant Re-Signed
Kant did not want to stand in opposition to the aristocratic class, he was an aristocrat himself, a vested interest in this class.
No matter how despicable the aristocracy may be in private, it is necessary to maintain the semblance of fame and decency.
This helped Kant to subdue the other nobles.
Thus, in this decisive battle, Kant rejected Rolf's plan.
If you want to conquer the world, it is not enough to rely on the heroes and soldiers who ride and slash the world.
Even if Kant could recruit a sufficient number of heroes and soldiers, he would not be able to afford the huge military expenses.
Because the military expenses of the world's armies can only be paid in dinars, and cannot be paid with the world's common currency, small silver coins and large silver coins.
However, the only things in this world that can be exchanged for dinars are magic items and golden eagles, these precious things are limited, and they will not circulate back after circulating through the caravan to the riding and slashing world, and they are indeed disappeared in this world, and a little less is used.
Now Kant's power is still very weak compared to this world in general, so the golden eagle and magic items he obtained from this world can barely support his army in exchange for the dinar.
When his power becomes stronger in the future, the military expenditure will undoubtedly be greatly increased, which means that the consumption of magic items and golden eagles in this world will increase dramatically. This will cause the number of magic items and golden eagles in this world to decrease insanely, and eventually the production will not be able to keep up with his consumption rate.
At that time, even if he earned a lot of silver coins, there would be no place to exchange them for the Golden Eagle.
Kant himself could have foreseen such a thing.
Therefore, from now on, he had to make a choice.
With the army of the world as the core, and at the same time accept the subordinates of the world as support, and conquer the world together.
This is different from his previous thoughts, because Kant's previous ambitions were hazy, and he always thought that it was enough for him to have the power to protect himself, and simply rely on a certain number of cavalry and slashing world heroes and soldiers to protect himself and his territory.
However, this time the main mission of the system completely made Kant understand that his previous ideas were too conservative, and it was difficult for him to truly conquer the world by relying solely on the heroes and soldiers of the world.
With this in mind, Kant intended to take the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Korod, for his own use.
If it was a pure serf uprising, even Kant would have resolutely extinguished it, but this time the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, who had been a nobleman, was able to re-establish him as an example.
And the ten years of slavery experience of this commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Korod, will force him to constantly desire to climb to a higher noble rank, in order to comfort his dignity and glory, and at the same time to prevent other nobles from talking about him freely.
It is also because of his former experience as a slave that he will not be merciless when killing the rest of the nobles.
To put it simply, the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Korod, is very suitable to be an executioner in Kant's hands, and there is no room for rebellion. Because of his former status as a slave, he would be on the natural opposite side of other nobles, and after the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Korod, was subdued by Kant, the only one he could rely on was Kant.
Therefore, Kant said to Rolf on the other side of the crystal ball: "Rolf, your plan for a decisive battle is very good, but I can't agree to adopt it!" ”
Rolf was puzzled, but he didn't feel any grievances, and asked, "My lord, why do you say that?" ”
At this point, Rolf thought that since Kant did not adopt his scheme, there must be a better one.
After all, a decisive battle is imperative!
"Rolf, this battle is very important, we have to fight a decent battle. Crush and destroy the enemy from the front, use the blood and corpses of the enemy to forge our own glory, so that all the nobles of the Lion Principality truly understand our strength. ”
"Only in this way can we truly deter these nobles completely, and in the future, they will be subdued, and many troubles will be reduced."
Rolf was a wise man, and as soon as he heard the words of Kant's crown, he understood.
If the decisive battle is carried out according to his plan, although the price paid this time will be much smaller, but other nobles will think that the victory of this battle is only achieved by means of intrigue and trickery, and it does not show that their own strength is strong enough, even if other nobles surrender, it is only superficially surrendered, and in fact, there will be undesirable thoughts.
"So, my lord, should I go and cancel my alliance with the rebels?"
In Rolf's view, according to Kant's strategic thinking, he could not continue to dig a hole for the rebels. But in that case, the rebels are likely to sit on the sidelines, waiting to reap the benefits.
Naturally, he would not want to do this, the battlefield was unpredictable, and he would not allow another army to hide and watch while they were desperate.
And after the alliance is lifted, if the rebel army still dares to come near the battlefield, he will naturally find a way, even if he temporarily cooperates with the noble alliance army of the Nanjun Lord, he will solve the rebel army first.
Unexpectedly, from the crystal ball, Kant's order was completely different from what he had thought.
"Rolf, go and renew a covenant with the rebels, and write a new covenant on the parchment I have distributed to you, stamped with the gold lion on a red background representing my badge. The terms of the covenant remain the same, plus my promise that as long as the rebels help us to achieve victory, I will make him a baron when I become the new Grand Duke of the Lion Duchy. ”
Rolf did not understand, but he obeyed Kant's orders unconditionally.
"Follow your orders, beloved lord!"
There was a deep confusion and incomprehension in Rolf's voice.
Kant appropriately explained his doubts, in the war, Rolf and Fatis needed to cooperate with the rebel army, so naturally Rolf could not be confused.
"Since Korod wants to become a nobleman, then I promise to make him a nobleman, and with this guarantee, it is inevitable that he will join us. I intend to set an example for the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Korod, and if we encounter such a third party again in the future, Korod's existence will make such a third party force lean towards us between us and our enemies! ”
Kant's flat and deep voice came: "The Duchy of Lion is very small, don't limit your eyes to here, we will have many, many enemies in the future." ”
Rolf understood it and said again: "Rolf obeys your orders, my lord! ”
