Chapter 258: Guests Watching the Soldiers (I)
As far as Luo Ming knows, the number of swordsmen in the whole duchy is only more than 1,000 people, and the county is not a military town, and the county guard Count of Kangle Mountain is not a powerful one among the earls, this is just a relatively ordinary county.
In this way, even if there is a hidden, there are probably only a dozen swordsmen in the county, and Luo Ming himself has three on hand - even the county guard Count Kangle Mountain can't disrespect such a power.
Titles and other things are actually empty, and there are often cases in this world where barons beat up earls, or powerful earls of a certain country fight with the royal family.
When you fight a verbal war, you can also use it to suppress people, but when you really fight, you still look at hard power - territory, soldiers, and strong people, which is called hard power.
Especially when Lomin's superior nobleman is Charlotte, and Charlotte is directly loyal to the royal family...... Theoretically, since the county guard can't control Charlotte, he can't control Luo Ming, there is no distinction between superior and subordinate at all, and no one is more noble than whom.
If the county guard dies in chaos, and he becomes the leader of a military alliance that covers most of the county, then maybe the appointment of the county guard will fall to Luo Ming's head.
When you think about it this way, the temptation is really not small...... If Luo Ming is responsible for assassination, he is much stronger than an ordinary swordsman.
But he held back after all—and in doing so, it was hard not to be discovered.
With this stain, it is basically impossible for him to fight for the position of county keeper - even if the royal family directly appoints a person to be the ruler of Conle Hill, it is not impossible for the heir of the earl to return the county guard as soon as he reaches adulthood.
Even if the royal family really appoints him as the county guard out of the consideration of appeasing the powerful faction in this place, they will guard against him everywhere in the future, impose more restrictions on him, and often find an excuse to trouble him, and unless the principality as a whole suffers from chaos and order collapses in the future, his own development in the principality will end here.
If he relied on this method to ascend to the throne, the rest of the county might not be able to obey him. If you can't convince the public, you will only add a burden to yourself.
Of course, even if the opportunity is delivered to the door and there is no notoriety, it is not good if the positive reputation is not big enough.
Even if he had achieved some success in gaining prestige in Brandon by various means, this Vanchy County was a border city after all, and there were not many nobles in the county who knew him.
This requires him to operate in advance.
===============================
"Thank you for your hospitality. ”
"The food itself is enough to make this place famous, and I'm looking forward to seeing how beautiful it is. ”
"I heard that you used the spring water secret text to open up the spring, my third son Yus is very stupid, although I sent to the goddess's temple to study, but has not learned anything famous, if you build the goddess's altar one day, I hope you can accept him, as a supplementary sacrifice, then I will also contribute manpower to help build it." ”
Luo Ming replied with a wry smile: "It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it's a beautiful spring, it's just an ordinary spring water, the water is a little clearer, and it tastes a little sweeter." ”
After a full meal, the group walked out of the courtyard with a smile and a smile.
The place where Luo Ming lives now may be enough for a knight, but it is a bit low-grade for the pursuit in his mind.
Although he could have borrowed Charlotte's mansion or castle - she was not there herself, and Lomin was the regent of Miyana - those places were far away from Schönbrunn and he didn't want to have guests running back and forth for half a day.
As a result, the banquet was held in the open air in the courtyard – but thanks to the many ingenious dishes prepared by Lockin and the wine made by Charando, the guests were able to eat and drink to their heart's content, and the little things like the environment were largely ignored.
Then, without Luo Ming's guidance, they naturally proposed to go to the "Schönbrunn" that named Schönbrunn.
After all, as aristocrats, they are very proficient in eating, drinking, and merrymaking, and it can even be said that there is nothing else to do except eat, drink and have fun - after eating and drinking, it is followed by a tour of the mountains and rivers.
To be honest, the spring wasn't pretty—and Luo Ming didn't have the heart to decorate it next to it now. Simplicity may be a kind of beauty, but the aesthetic taste of these little nobles is probably not so elegant.
But Luo Ming did not stop this action, but rejoiced in it.
Meiquan is not too beautiful, not a big deal, and not much of a shame - anyway, Luo Ming's modesty has already been said, and it is their own business whether others believe it or not.
As long as his true purpose is achieved, it will be a victory.
Just as the group was walking unhurriedly towards Meiquan, a few hundred meters away, a shout suddenly came from the side.
The shout was at first almost inaudible, and the crowd didn't pay attention, but soon the shout drew closer.
At the same time, there were neat footsteps, sounding like horses' hooves, and the figure of a group of soldiers.
And that shout is the sound of the military song that Luo Ming "wrote" with the memory of the earth. When a group of people are running, the rhythm is naturally not very delicate, each of them is like shouting, but there is also a special spirit.
If you look closely, these soldiers are more impressive than before.
Each was armed with spears, and was dressed in armor painted crimson with dye, and a red cloth shirt on the outside, and the top of the helmet was raised and painted golden.
The leader holds a banner - in the upper left corner is the banner of Luo Ming himself: a white cross sword on a red background, while the rest of the part depicts a red dragon breathing fire, and its minions are covered in steel armor, which is the military banner.
From a distance, this column is like a flame with will, flowing on the earth.
Nowadays, they no longer need to call for orders or flutes, and they can adjust their pace just by relying on the rhythm of military songs, so as to achieve the effect of running in unison.
The footsteps of the twenty-six people gradually approached, and those nobles who had never seen much of the war scene listened to it, and they felt as if their hearts were being grabbed.
Even if they have some knowledge, or are nobles who have personally been on the battlefield, they will silently raise their vigilance when they see this group of soldiers.
In a confrontation of two or three hundred people, this mere twenty-six people is enough to poke a hole in the center of the opponent's array, and then it may turn into a rout.
Moreover, since these twenty-six people are all wearing armor, they must be elite soldiers, and there must be more ordinary soldiers who do not wear armor.
With such an association, many people's faces began to change.
