"Oh? Lady Ciri has arrived? Come, sit down and eat while it's hot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ciri nodded, sat down and grabbed a piece of unknown magical beast and bit it directly. When others train soldiers, they can't wait for the last bit of oil and water on the soldiers' bodies to be scraped off, but his training can be described as the most cruel training, the highest level of provisions, and the most perfect medical treatment.
Therefore, those funds and materials that should have "disappeared" were almost all used by soldiers. Although, among them, the soldier training cost of the brigade directly under Siri is the highest, but Siri's words can save the mouths of all doubters: Want to eat well? Come on, as long as you can meet the training standards of my subordinates, I can make you look like a count every day!
"Your Majesty has new instructions."
After a long time, Pombet suddenly said. "As long as I can take down the Duchy of Canter, this is my fiefdom, but I am still a marquis."
"Something I expected. He had just used the most stupid method of relying on time, and relied on the powerful Archduke Brand for life and death. How could you allow a strong principality to emerge in your own country? After eating the piece of heart-protecting meat, Ciri grabbed a bunch of red grapes and stuffed them directly into his mouth.
"My lord, what does that fat man want from us? If you want someone, we will give, and if you want something, we will give it too. After all, if Betnes City is underarmed, we will all have to go back, and we will not be able to expand our territory. ”
Pompeii nodded, seemingly very satisfied with Cieri's attitude.
"The king didn't ask us to support people and things, but promised that our follow-up troops would be sent."
"Oh? In this way, there will be twenty more earls on this side of Zhenxi City. A principality, with eight cities in addition to the national capital. Is the king a pig? He is not afraid that we will fight and plunge the whole kingdom into chaos. ”
"Baron Seery, watch your words!" Pombert scolded with a straight face, but then, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "The position of the eight lords, not to mention the baron and viscount, and more than twenty counts, although the territory of the Canter country is rich, it cannot be compared with the fat land in the country! But do you say we refuse? Besides, most of Kante's territory is still in the hands of the enemy. ”
"My lord, if the lord of the Canter territory were to be divided by you, to whom would you give it?"
The sudden words made Pompeit stunned. He didn't know that in his previous life, there were geese still in the sky, but he began to discuss the allusion of steaming or braised food. After a while, he still said what he thought.
"If you want me to share, of course, I will find the earls who have lost the most. Not the nobles who follow us, but the people who are really playing with the orcs in Betnes City, I know, they all have all kinds of problems in their respective territories, and they want to take advantage of the orc invasion to make more benefits for themselves. But more effort is more effort, and you deserve to be rewarded! I've already communicated with Jador about this. Zhenxi City, I will never let His Majesty give it to him, and of course, it will never be the richest one. After all, the richest territory of the Duchy of Canter is the territory around the city of Canter. ”
"That's right, I have an idea to let the nobles you have in mind gain the territory of the Duchy of Canter."
Ciri touched the beard that didn't exist under his chin, and told Pompeit about the embankment again. The latter is not a desireless Jador, and when Ciri said that once the river embankment is blown up, more than a third of the Duchy of Kanter will be turned into a swamp, and his whole face will be completely black!
"Ciri? Baron Williosa! With such a shady method to isolate this place from the country, do you want to commit treason? ”
"Treason? My lord, where does this begin? Seeri poured himself a glass of wine, and Pombert for him.
"I confess that I hate Zigra IX very much, and I don't want him to be involved in this side of the matter. But don't you think, my lord, that a stable Duchy of Kantor, which can provide a large number of excellent soldiers and material money, is a hundred times stronger than a war-torn territory? Don't forget, we're not planning an earldom of Rolando, but a principality with a huge territory! No matter how fierce the struggle for the throne of Rolando, it is impossible to never let the Grand Duke of Kanter return to China, let alone never elect a new king. When the time comes, you can't hold Rolando's counterattack, isn't it a bamboo basket for nothing? ”
Pompeitt was silent for a long time, and at last, let out a faint sigh. "Well, for Your Majesty's sake, and for our own sake, that's all we can do. Ciri, as soon as the 200,000 army arrives, let's set off. As for the embankment, I won't allow you to mention it to anyone again. If you dare to assert yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
When he said this, Pompeit could be described as full of emotion, although Ciri was submissive on the surface, but he kept sneering in his heart, for him, only the territory that fell into the pocket was the most important, what happened to the river embankment, what Pombert thought, had nothing to do with him. Of course, he still has a question that he hasn't said. Rolando hadn't fought in nearly a decade, and even the nobles and soldiers were no longer familiar with war. But in the face of the enemy who wants to seize his territory, are there any nobles in Kante's territory who don't play with their lives? The orc has a tendon in his head, and there are also deep-hidden back moves in his hands. So no matter how fierce the battle is, it won't be full force. But in time, there were as many as ten counts who fell under the city of Betnes! Then face the human enemy who prefers to play decapitation tactics. It's hard to say how many of these counts will be left in the end!
------------------------------
The vast majority of people, when planning a thing, always like to speculate on the various possibilities of the development of the situation, intending to make the result closest to their expectations. But historians often speculate about the truth of events from a few words, and then speculate about the course of the development of those historical events, and the thoughts of the people who carried them out.
In his past and present lives, Xirui has studied history, and has also formed a unique vision that can often go straight to the essence through this kind of inference. It's like he accurately judged that the orcs have quietly crossed the northern pass of Betnes City, only waiting for the entire kingdom of Zigra to weaken so that he can launch a fatal blow.
But like the flaws of all historians, although he can always accurately judge the outcome of events, he is not able to adjust his actions by speculating on the outcome as ordinary people do. The war has been fought for so long, and the 200,000 orcs stationed outside the city of Betnes. The so-called feints seemed to be getting more and more real, leaving the border city in turmoil all day long. And the orc soldier lurking in Brand territory seems to have collectively put on a turtle shell to make the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and he hasn't even bothered to make his head so far.
Of course, the battle situation in Benitez City is directly related to the fate of their expeditionary army. According to this, it is too far away, and he can't manage it even if he wants to. As for the things around him. To be honest, he was as worried about the arrival of the follow-up army as everyone else, even if on the surface, he was confident and fearless. (To be continued.) )
