There was no way out for the blood mallet, and after leaving the mayor's hall, he gathered his cronies and asked them to go back and bring the corps.

As the great shaman of the tribe, the double-headed blood mallet has a great reputation among many tribes, and the title of wise man is not a joke, this time he has been thinking about the plan for a long time, so he has already prepared an elite army of 10,000 people, this is his hole card, after all, even if it is an indigenous, he also understands that military power is the standard for determining a qiē.

"Master, those humans and orcs, snakes and rats at both ends, should give them a profound lesson, otherwise if the battle situation is unfavorable, they will definitely escape!"

Jackson had already seen that the two regiments were not pleasing to the eye, and encouraged Downton to clean them up.

"Waiting!"

Downton motioned for Jackson to be quiet.

"Why?"

The ghoul was still waiting to eat a few brains and devour souls, and seeing that his master was all in power, he was worried that he would be abandoned because of his low rank.

"Fool, Downton's two legions haven't arrived yet, if those people rebel, what kind of bullet will he use?"

The Grimoire hovered in the air, flipping through the battle report.

"Barbarians, they're very good at fighting!"

Jackson's expression of course made the cheap god can't help but want to smack him in the face.

"If Downton has absolute force, the two corps will never dare to rebel, although the barbarians are strong in combat, but the numerical disadvantage and size, so that the deterrence is naturally insufficient, if it starts, although it can be suppressed, but the northern army stationed on the shore of Yuexi Lake is not an idiot, and will definitely take the opportunity to attack. We're going to fail!"

Homer explained that fighting in a large corps is not the same as fighting a single person, and there is no hidden danger at all. It may cause an avalanche-like chain reaction, and no matter how many the overseers are, they will not be able to catch up with the deserters fleeing all over the field.

"Then let them stay so leisurely?"

Jackson stood at the window, pulling the blinds with his hands, and could see some people looking sneakily at the side.

"The news of the ogre's subduation will soon spread throughout the town, and the officers must be panicking, worried about what I will do with them. The more nervous people are, the more mistakes they make, and I'm just waiting for them to make mistakes!"

Downton had another reason not to say. In fact, he was still waiting for those officers to take the initiative to admit their mistakes, after all, they were human beings, and if there was a big purge, the heads of the people would be killed. with his character. I really can't do it.

"Don't be soft-hearted, this kind of old fritter officer has long lost his enterprising spirit, he only thinks about how to make money and save his life, if you want to rejuvenate the army, you must change the officers, so that every soldier can see the opportunity for promotion!"

Homer taught, why do soldiers fight for you? Not that there is any lofty ideal of defending the homeland and the country, their demands are very simple. Wealth, official position, a fight. You can bring back enough gold coins to fill your family's stomach.

"It's too realistic, there are always people who are very patriotic!"

Celestia could not accept this statement and argued in a low voice.

"We are fighting a civil war now, and even if it is the famous Eastern Crusade of the Twelve Northern Kingdoms in history, it is not for any faith, eradicating the infidels and restoring the glory of the Goddess of Light and Flame is all a disguise, to put it bluntly, isn't it a fancy to the mountains of wealth that people have piled up?"

Homer's big revelation is almost going to destroy Celesse's three views.

"Don't give me these things, okay?"

Downton frowned, he already blamed himself for letting the girl go to war, this kind of girl, should stay in the garden embroidery, or read a classical book, instead of holding a staff and fighting the enemy.

Downton didn't wait for the human and orc officers to admit their mistakes, but waited for the enemy's vanguard.

When the scouts returned, the Northern Army on the shore of Yuexi Lake began to mobilize and march towards Aoki Town, and the atmosphere in the entire camp was a little solemn and panicked.

"What is the reason?

Although Jackson didn't understand military strategy, he also knew that his side had not finished the army, and the battle started at this time, and the victory rate was pitiful.

Click!

Downton snapped the pen with a grimace.

"My bad!"

Downton blamed himself, this kind of big battle, how could the enemy be uneasy to insert secret agents, he only thought about those officers, but forgot about the enemy troops opposite.

The commander of the Northern Army has not launched an attack for so many days, not because he is afraid of the Western Army, but because he is waiting for civil strife and taking the opportunity to take advantage of it, barbarians, humans, and hill natives, these corps are mixed together, and it is strange that there is no conflict, but Downton arrived early to eliminate the hidden danger.

After the spies reported the recruitment order issued by the blood hammer, the commander of the Northern Army understood that he had to launch an attack, otherwise the longer it dragged on, the Western Army would likely be monolithic.

The headquarters of the town on the shore of Moon Creek Lake.

"The Western Frontier Army must be routed before they are firmly established and Downton is not fully in command of the army. ”

The commander with two blackbeards slammed his fist on the map.

"But the king's army on the Eastern Front has not moved, if we fight, won't it be cheaper for them?"

Several 10,000 commanders didn't take the Western Frontier Army as a thing at all, and the King's Army was the real opponent, so they wanted to preserve their strength.

"I also hope that the Eastern Front will fight first, but the team sent to provoke the incident has failed, Downton is now back and rushed to the Western Front, the King's Army must have gotten the news, even if the Western Army attacks, they will temporarily retreat!"

Commander Blackbeard sighed, there are too many factors to consider in a three-way scuffle.

"I agree with the commander-in-chief, the two dukes of the eastern and southern realms will definitely not let go of the opportunity to annex the western realm, they must be sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, if they can't fight quickly, once the war is extended, they will wake up laughing from their dreams!"

A 10,000-strong captain stood up and asked Blackbeard for battle.

"Don't rush to attack, but maintain an offensive posture, put pressure on the enemy, and wait until the major corps are lined up on three sides before launching a general attack!"

Blackbeard commanded, cheering up the generals, "The duke of the other party has been gone for more than a year, and there is no army, those soldiers are just a rabble, keep the situation, maybe they will be self-defeating." ”

"Even if they are elite, they will beat out all their!"

The 10,000-strong commander who served as the vanguard corps roared excitedly. Standing up and saluting, the other generals also followed suit, and then walked out of the headquarters.

Under the command of these experienced officers. The Northern Army moved in an orderly manner and marched towards Aoki Town, while the Western Army, except for the barbarian corps, the natives and humans were already in chaos.

"Where's my helmet, who saw my helmet?"

"Whoever stole my spear, Mala. Let me go to battle with a dagger?"

"Why are the 500 still asleep? Damn, who made you drink this virtue? Come on, wake them up!"

Human soldiers are a mess. It's simply a miscellaneous fish corps.

Downton walked out wearing dreadnought armor and a helmet in one hand, originally ready to infect the soldiers with a calm momentum, but he didn't expect to see chaos like the end of the world

"Why are you panicking? When Duke Ben is a dead man?"

Downton roared. The majestic voice was heard directly throughout the town. Most of the nearby soldiers stopped and looked at him.

"Give it back to me, it's my money bag. ”

"Fart, it's mine!"

The two ten-captains and their respective subordinates fought for a money bag, and they fought together, not to mention the blue nose and swollen face, and several people even ripped their military uniforms.

"What's the noise?"

Jackson tried to stop them, but Downton held the giant hideous. A wave of the hand is a knife.

Rumble!

The magic blade was cut down, and the five soldiers were directly chopped into pulp. The rest of those who had escaped death all fell to the ground, trembling and some of the cowardly even urinated.

Smack!

The purse fell to the ground, and a dozen gold coins rolled away with a gurgle.

"It's just a few gold coins, and you can actually kill each other, what about your shame?" Downton roared, "Did I miss your salary in the year I became Duke of the West?"

"Nope!"

The soldiers shook their heads.

Knowing that the chiefs had a bad habit of picking up a layer of gold coins, he paid his salary himself, and declared that it was a favor for the Duke.

Although it was troublesome, Downton was still a benevolent and generous nobleman in the eyes of these soldiers, which is one of the reasons why they still did not flee in the face of several times the elite legion.

"If you want money, pick up your weapons and give me a fight, the first one hundred gold coins, and then double the bounty for each additional one!"

Downton roared.

"Well done!"

Homer admired, there is no military discipline, no training, if you want a corps to instantly climb morale and become an elite, even if the god of war comes, you can't do it, but gold coins can, Downton didn't say anything to them, and directly linked the head to the gold coin, you can fight, you can earn a full pocket.

"Why don't you remind him of the problem with the secret agent?"

Homer, who didn't think that the cheap god was a polymath, didn't even think of such a detail.

"I'm not a nanny, a man who wants to grow has to endure some setbacks, and this time it's good, lest he think that when he steps into the scepter, his self-confidence will burst. ”

Homer sighed, he really didn't expect Downton to use the 'bounty tactic', and it worked well.

As professional soldiers, there are at most a third of the cowards, they are not afraid of war, they are afraid of selling their lives, or even dying, but they will not get the gold coins they deserve.

"Is not a head of a hundred gold, two two hundred, three four hundred, and five sixteen hundred gold?"

I had a quick calculation, and I exclaimed.

"So much?"

"How many are ten?"

"I don't know, I can't tell, it's too much, it must be over 50,000 gold!"

The soldiers wrenched their fingers, their faces were already flushed with excitement, in this era when fifty gold coins can make a family of four live for a month, fifty thousand gold coins are enough for them to not have to work for ten years.

"Lord Duke, does what you say count?"

Someone came forward, fearing that it was a hoax.

"Homer!"

Downton signaled, Homer opened the war space, and the elemental arm carried a rectangular steel box and sent it out, and after a while, it was piled up into a small mountain, and when it was all opened, countless gold bricks reflected the sunlight, and the golden was dazzling.

The whole town was filled with gasp business, and more and more soldiers gathered around.

"I'll put the gold bricks here, if you repel the northern army and stabilize the front, they will be yours. ”

As soon as Downton spoke, the audience was in an uproar.

"No way!"

The soldiers subconsciously shouted out, in this situation, no one thought that the Western Frontier Army could still resist the opponent's offensive, and putting the gold bricks here was simply a waste of time for the enemy.

"Why not? They have steel knives in their hands, and you have them, and they can kill, and so can you, and when you kill them, you get gold. ”

Downton boosts morale.

"But ......"

A soldier wanted to say that the other party was a battle-hardened elite, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Downton, joke, at this time, who dares to let him talk nonsense.

"But what's it? Tell you, although we are a little smaller, we have three super-level demonic beasts to help fight!"

The firebird emerged from Downton's back, flapping its wings and burning flames, making it impossible to look at it directly.

"Fire Phoenix?"

The soldiers couldn't tell the difference between the first element and the fire phoenix, but they knew that the phoenix was as famous as the dragon, and suddenly saw that there was a demonic beast on their side, and naturally their confidence increased greatly, but it was the twin angels who boosted their morale.

When black-and-white winged angels appeared on Downton's side, some devout believers even knelt on the ground in prayer.

"Reinforcements are coming, as long as we withstand the first wave of offensive, victory is within reach, gentlemen, the gold coins are beckoning to you again, how much you can take, it all depends on your ability!"

Bang!

Downton kicked the crates, and they toppled over, and the bricks rolled everywhere like mercury, and crashed with a crisp sound.

"Male, fight, eat meat or drink soup for the rest of your life, it depends on today!"

"Kill all those northerners!"

"Leave not a single one, cut off all their heads!"

Stimulated by so many gold bricks, people will go crazy.

The blood mallet stood beside him, his face was dumbfounded, when he heard the attack of the Northern Army, he was desperate, he originally planned to persuade Downton to evacuate temporarily, and when the reinforcements arrived, he was counterattacking, but he didn't expect him to make such a scene.

Looking at the morale-boosting Western Army, Blood Hammer suddenly realized that he might have underestimated this new master.

"Master, can we get a bounty?"

A bear goblin asked, compared to humans, these natives are poorer, and there are only a handful of copper plates that they have touched in their lives, so they can't see the gold bricks, if it weren't for the super-level demonic beasts that are too powerful, they would have come to snatch them in the morning.

"Of course!"

Just as Downton's words fell, the sound of huge hooves resounded outside the town from far and near.

"Master, something is wrong, a team of heavy cavalry rushed in!"

As soon as the scouts finished their report, the soldiers on both sides of the street saw a group of hoplites rushing in front of them, heavily armed and heavily armoured, riding mounts as huge as Komodo behemoths, galloping like a torrent of steel, enough to sweep away a qiē.

Everyone was like being naked~ and being poured a bucket of ice water for thirty-nine days, subconsciously retreating, and clenching their weapons.

When the cavalry arrived outside the hall, they suddenly grabbed the reins, jumped off their mounts in unison, got down on one knee, and saluted Downton.

"Master, the Black Hand Heavy Cavalry Regiment has arrived!"

The black hand increased the volume of the word 'master', resounding throughout the town. (To be continued......)
