The geographical location of the city of Megala, which was once chosen by the Kingdom of Seris, is very good, the city of Megala is built against a mountain wall, and only three gates are opened, just on the official road pass in the narrower position of the Greek peninsula!

The Greek Peninsula is not a regular large peninsula, the entire Greek Peninsula is actually divided into two parts, the plains controlled by the Kingdom of Seris and the mountainous areas controlled by the city-state of Pylos!

The whole Greek peninsula is a bit like a gourd with two thick heads and a narrow middle, and the land passage between the area where the Seris people live and the area where the Pylos live happens to be the narrowest part of the Greek peninsula, concave inward!

Unlike the entrance to the Greek Peninsula, which is blocked by an endless mountain range, the narrow part of the gourd inside the Greek Peninsula is flanked by the sea on both sides, and it is the kind of high mountain wall that is not suitable for landing at all!

In fact, the mountainous coastal areas of the Greek Peninsula are not very suitable for landing, and the fact that the city of Pylos can be transformed into a thriving city on the Greek Peninsula has a lot to do with the fact that it is close to the largest coastal beach in the Greek Peninsula!

Therefore, as long as the commander is in his right mind, the crusaders must choose to open the gap from the city of Meghala, which is why the Seris spent a lot of money to build the military fortress of Megara again!

If you want to conquer the entire Greek peninsula, Megara is the only level that cannot be bypassed!

The heads of the churches who led the crusaders naturally understood this truth, and they did not intend to avoid the fortress of Megara, in which a large number of craftsmen could be seen accompanying the army, fiddling with a strange number of siege machines!

Ladders, trebuchets, etc. abound, and although there were not many elites in the crusaders, they were very well prepared for the siege of this expedition!

In the eyes of the Church, there was no army on the Greek peninsula that dared to fight against the 100,000 crusaders in the field, and the only place they could struggle was to rely on the cities to defend desperately!

As a crusader army across the blue sea and with complex composition, it is naturally impossible to use the siege tactics with huge consumption, their army is far more numerous than the other party, and they have to supply across the ocean, and the time has dragged on for a long time, they must have finished playing first!

Therefore, the Crusaders intend to attack and even siege the city with all their strength as soon as they come up, and destroy the newly rising Seris forces in one fell swoop, regardless of casualties!

Anyway, there weren't many in-court troops in the Crusaders, and it didn't matter how many popes died!

Due to the large number of crusaders and the fact that they belonged to different lords, it was impossible to unify the march, so the high priest of Alibach and the deacons of the church he accepted simply told the noble leaders and knights to bring the army to the designated place to meet!

In this way, the march of the crusaders suddenly became loose, but under the constraints of the church, the noble subordinates did not run around with joy, and the distance between the various troops was not too far from each other. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, the members of these crusaders knew very well that they were here to fight, not to go on an outing, and if they were too far away from friendly forces, if something happened to them, wouldn't they die unjustly on the Greek peninsula if they had an accident?

Except for those peasant conscripts who looked numb, most of the mercenaries and even the soldiers of the troops directly under the nobility had the mentality of coming to make a fortune!

The riches of the Kingdom of Seris, the gold and silver of the Kingdom of Seris, and even the water spirit of the woman of Ceris have long been spread throughout the Crusaders under the propaganda of the Church!

Where did the big men of the crusaders have any knowledge?

It's not what the church says!

After all, nine out of ten people have never been to the Greek peninsula at all, and even most soldiers have never heard of this barren land!

Of course, it was not only these illusory temptations that aroused the crusaders' fighting spirits, but also the preaching of the noble lords and church deacons before the expedition, all the Seris were sinners, and the crusader warriors could dispose of the lives and property of these sinners at will!

This is basically the equivalent of telling the Crusader GIs that as long as they win the battle, the big guys can rob, kill, and force themselves at will!

Such a good thing is not common in the civil wars of the nobility, after all, the nobility does not wage war to kill people, but to plunder the population and wealth and peppercorns......

Therefore, in the civil war of the nobility, wanton slaughter was strictly forbidden, and if the commander saw a soldier hacking a surrendered prisoner to death without permission, he would be hung up and whipped!

Those prisoners of war were sturdy adult laborers!

Whether it was sold as a slave or turned into their own serf coolies, it was a surefire business for the nobles, equivalent to their private property!

From this point of view, the aristocratic behavior of the human world is actually similar to Lei Zihao's approach, at most there is no local tyrant like Lei Zihao, and tens of thousands of young and strong women are used to build a brothel block at one time......

Women are also a wealth that the aristocracy attaches great importance to, men can be used to farm and fight, but women are the foundation of the continuation of the population of the territory!

As long as there are enough women of the right age to conceive in the territory, the nobles do not have to worry about fighting and exterminating their own population......

The sustainable development of the population has long become the norm in the consciousness of the human aristocracy in this world!

It's brutal, but it's also realistic!

In this backward world with frequent wars, most of the hypocritical surfaces have been torn apart, and what remains is the most practical and powerful truth!

Even the Church of the Radiant Lords, who control the spiritual faith, sees the Holy Knights and the Inquisitors as the foundation of their rule!

If you use an extreme way to describe this world, it is that all the leaders of the forces are shrouded in the aura of reckless militarism!

In the first half of the long march of the Crusaders throwing out several miles, the troops from the Grand Duchy of Bavaria, although they belonged to different nobles, because the Grand Duchy of Bavaria was the only territory that did not legally belong to the Frankish Kingdom, so the noble troops from the Grand Duchy of Bavaria were quite united, at least they could walk together!

The Bavarians were very warlike, more warlike than the nobles who spent their days fighting for honey and pepper!

Normally, nobles fight for profit, but the Bavarians fight not only for profit, but also for the sake of mood!

Originally, the church did not mean to transfer the aristocratic troops of the German kingdom, after all, the German kingdom was too far away from the Greek peninsula, and even the wealthy church was unwilling to mobilize the aristocratic army so far, after all, the church was responsible for the logistics......
