Chapter 917: Yorkshire (340,000 recommended)
With Leylin's reputation in this place, the nobles said a lot of kind words after seeing his true intentions, and then left like a fire burning their butts.
Soon, the tent seemed to be crowded, and only a few figures chose to stay, including Lei Lin's old acquaintances.
"Baron Andrew! I didn't expect you to make such a choice!"
Lei Lin looked at the middle-aged nobleman in front of him who was constantly wiping his face with a silk handkerchief, and said calmly.
"This orc attack is very ferocious, and even the beasts are not so easy to deal with, and the food stored in my territory is no longer enough to survive this winter famine......
Baron Andrew smiled wryly: "It's just that I have a humble request...... Can you let me take some of my family with me a little bit when you pass by my territory......
"As long as the number of people is less than a hundred, and they bring their own dry food!" Lei Lin nodded.
"That's grateful!" Andrew lowered his head deeply.
Although he is very distressed about the territory that he is about to lose, Andrew can see the situation in the Northland more clearly!
Those fools and fat pigs still want to compromise with the orcs, or hope that the other party will gently let this side go, it is as ridiculous and ridiculous as the sun coming out of the west!
"Okay, I'll give you a day to prepare, and I'll leave as soon as the time comes!"
Leylin made a decision.
......
In the withered yellow wilderness, a large team is slowly moving forward.
And the first few fast horses galloped with the knights, and their bodies were stained with blood, full of a fierce temperament.
The knight galloped to the front of a huge carriage and said in a humble and respectful tone: "My lord, the trouble ahead has been solved, it is a chaotic wave of goblins and dwarf robbers...... There were no casualties!"
"Hmm! Order the team to speed up!"
In the carriage. Lei Lin stopped closing his eyes and meditating, and said slowly.
As the order was given, the entire team moved a little faster.
"That's a huge team......
Leylin opened the window above the carriage and sighed low as he looked at the bustling crowd outside, especially the scattered refugees who followed his team.
The power of the orcs is concentrated in the direction of Silvermoon City. And those beasts were busy looting the territory they had left behind, and they were happy to see this group leave.
After converging with Andrew and other nobles, Lei Lin's men once again broke through the 1,000 mark, which can be used to bluff people.
At this level, the large army could not look down on it, and the small harassment was enough to deal with, so the journey south was always very safe, and only these refugees were accidental.
The fierce offensive of the orcs, and the huge force. The area north of Silvermoon City was completely destroyed, and a large number of refugees were also generated.
Along the way, there were humans fleeing to the south, and many of them were dragging their families with them, which was very messy.
And in the autumn wilderness, a feast of bandits, horse thieves, and goblins immediately formed, fighting, sneak attacking, robbing, and many crimes were staged repeatedly.
If there is not enough force to protect, so to speak. It's a dream to get to the south safely!
It wasn't without commoners or even nobles coming to pray for shelter on the road, but there wasn't much food left for Leilin. It is even more impossible to leave it to these strangers, except for accepting a few nobles as foreign aid, his team has not accepted any more people.
It's just that those refugees spontaneously followed behind Lei Lin, relying on his might to hurry, which was also a helpless thing.
As long as there is no trouble, it will be difficult for Leylin to care.
"From now on. The prosperity of the Northland is about to become history......"
Leylin stepped out of the carriage and rode on a black steed to look at the convoy.
Everywhere he passed, whether it was the families of the nobles or the original soldiers, they all bowed their heads in respect.
Of course they do. It was Leylin, the master of the army, who sheltered their safety and controlled their life and death, if Leylin turned his face and drove them out now, those miserable refugees would be their portrayal!
Moreover, this high-ranking officer is also a [high-level mage]!
I have to say that in troubled times, people with great power can still give people a sense of security - after all, the identity of the mention is more sensitive, after leaving the Nether Mountains, Leylin deliberately let the other party hide in the dark, and even if there are rumors, it is the unbelievers who occupy most of them.
What a great power is [Legendary], and how could he suddenly join Thunderlin's command?
Moreover, most of the [Legendary] powerhouses in the Northland have been famous for a long time, but the appearance of the mention is very unfamiliar, not to mention the use of pseudonyms.
"Lord Thunderlin!"
At this time, Andrew also came to Leylin's side on a white steed with a flattering smile on his face.
At this time, looking at the other party's mount, Leylin wanted to laugh very much.
In the previous life, most of the generals who rode white horses in ancient times did not end well, because it was too easy to distinguish the difference.
It's the same now, if there is an assassin or an archer or something at this time, the first target must also be Andrew, and the opponent's mount and noble decorations on his body are too conspicuous.
"Well, we're three days away at most, and we're going to reach Yorkshire, so I wonder what you're going to do?" asked Leylin.
Yorkshire, the human area south of Silvermoon City, is also the place where Lei Lin thinks the orcs will not attack, the huge territory in the north is enough for them to digest, and other forces are not willing to watch the orc god system grow further.
"I still have a few relatives over there, I can go to them this time!"
Andrew said with a wry smile on his face: "Maybe I can buy a villa in the city and a few more estates outside the city, but it's unlikely that I want to live as well as the Northland......"
The privileged life of the aristocracy came all from their own territories, from taxes and the oppression of commoners.
Once they lose their territory and private soldiers, they lose the foundation of their power! That's why there are so many nobles who are stubbornly defending the North! It's not that they can't see the consequences, but they really can't bear it!
In contrast, Andrew's choice was very wise and decisive.
"Yorkshire, ......"
A playful smile appeared on Leylin's face.
"Yes, it's the Marquis of Lansnit's domain!" Andrew said without saying.
The Marquis was also an important component of the Silvermoon Alliance, but his performance in this disaster was very ambiguous, stagnant, and he also had very close ties with the other human kingdoms in the central region.
Of course, Lei Lin's escape from the battle is not much better, so the eldest brother will not talk about the second brother.
"At any time, as long as you are not stupid enough to jump out and threaten the central government, the chances of the local real power faction being appeased are still very high, not to mention the aristocratic knighthood system of the world of gods......"
Leylin's mind is very clear about those who are powerful.
After the people in the south attacked the Silvermoon Alliance, they definitely didn't want the orcs to continue to grow, so after the Silvermoon City was breached, it became the mainstream to strangle the orcs.
And that Marquis of Lansnit is even more so! he definitely doesn't want his territory to become a battlefield, and it must be necessary to take advantage of this time to win over other forces!
While it is unlikely that a direct division of territory from Yorkshire will be appeased, it is highly probable that there will be generous favorites around Yorkshire and that these powerful people who have fled as a buffer.
"Give us the territory of the north of Yorkshire, and let us be the vanguard and cannon fodder to resist the advance of the orcs......"
Leylin touched his chin, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little peculiar: "Maybe, after entering Yorkshire, someone will pull me on a blind date......"
It is too ugly to directly deprive the nobles of their fiefs, but by marriage, it is a more moderate and acceptable practice.
Those big nobles certainly don't want to be told that they look ugly, so it's almost a given.
Three days later, the brigade entered the Yorkshire confines.
Order was clearly re-established here, with well-equipped soldiers patrolling everywhere, and large contingents of cavalry could be seen from time to time.
Obviously, for those orcs in the north, the Marquis of Lansnit didn't dare to believe too much, after all, with the simple thinking of orcs, it is very normal for the mind to faint occasionally.
Moreover, compared to the orcs, the security problems caused by these refugees are even more serious!
At least, after seeing Lei Lin's whole group of men and horses, those soldiers all had vigilant expressions on their faces.
In this regard, Lei Lin showed his certificate of nobility and rank very indifferently, and then let the other party do it himself.
"I finally saw ...... O ...... power of the church"
At this time, Lei Lin could see that outside the city, many huge tents were divided in an orderly manner, and a large number of priests wearing various religious emblems and symbols were running as hard as they could to save the refugees.
In times of disaster, which is often the harvest season of faith, Leylin saw many people weeping and repenting after receiving the relief oatmeal, and immediately joined the church.
"These priests, who were rarely seen during the Northland's crucifixion, are now here en masse, which is enough to represent the attitude of the gods of mankind......"
Leylin thought to himself.
Of course, there are no outliers among these pastors.
Lei Lin saw some squads of paladins and mercenaries and kept rushing to the north.
"This is the holy warrior and priest of Tyre, the god of justice, rushing to the battlefield in his personal name......"
Lei Lin thought to himself: "The attitude of the gods of the human camp is to be strictly neutral, even if it is a god of justice, can only let his followers participate in the war in ......their own name?
Leylin sneered, but it was also his chance. (To be continued.) )
