Chapter 942: Connecting Several Cities
As the horses' hooves tread the wide streets, looking at the houses on either side, and at the citizens who were hiding behind their windows and looking out, a thrill called conquest began to spread through Downton's chest.
Duowei City, the first city that Downton conquered after taking charge of Frankfurt, if he can continue to win, this will become his inherent territory!
"Go, go door-to-door, let those citizens go out into the streets, and line up to welcome Lord Duke!"
The officer, who had more eyelids, yelled at his subordinates.
"No need, take me to the barracks, let all the commanders above the hundred people gather, blood mallets, arrange soldiers to take over the city defense, be careful, don't disturb the citizens, otherwise don't blame me for killing!"
Downton took the lead, and the rest of the generals hurriedly followed.
After receiving the bloodhammer command, turn around and leave!
There were only 5,000 defenders in the city, and since Parr was on the front line with 200,000 troops, they never dreamed that the Downton Legion would be able to fight back so quickly.
"You only have two choices, one, is death!"
Downton stood on the school grounds, kneeling down to the black pressure to give him a debriefing.
Hearing this threat, the soldiers immediately rioted, but soon restrained themselves, as hundreds of abominations stood around, armed with ballistas, aimed at them, ready to attack.
"The other is to wear a red scarf and fight for me, kill enough three people to avoid death, kill enough five people to get a bounty, and restore your free body and have Frankfurt citizenship!"
Seeing that the soldiers were still silent, Downton waved his hand.
Parr, who was standing behind him, understood, and took a few steps forward to persuade.
"What are you worried about? After wearing a red scarf to cover your face, no one will know your identity!"
Parr's commander-in-chief once again made a meritorious service, which made these soldiers waver, and finally decided to be the vanguard. In fact, they have no choice, it is much better than being directly killed here.
The rangers are dispatched again, responsible for covering the battlefield and reconnoitring intelligence.
Downton sat in the hall of the City Lord's Palace, looking at the map of Samosai and lost his thoughts. The dozens of generals stood obediently beside them, not daring to breathe.
Poof!
Half an hour later, a fat man finally couldn't stand it anymore and fainted from lack of body.
"Waste, pull him out, hang him!"
Downton's words made the air in the hall stagnate, and these officers simply didn't dare to breathe, for fear that he would find an excuse to kill them.
"My army of demons numbering more than a thousand. Any one of them is a judgment rank, how do you think you can stand on it, not to mention that you still surrender your troops!"
Downton asked.
No one dared to speak.
"I won't treat talents badly, but I won't put up with mediocrity, if you think you're an elite, you'll show your ability, wealth, status, power, as long as you meet my satisfaction." I'll give it to you as I do to the natives of the hills!"
Downton looked at the officers. Say no more.
"I want to die for the duke!"
It's all officialdom oil, and these officers already know when to make a sycophant and take the opportunity to assassinate Downton? Don't be kidding, people are scepters, and one person can turn the whole audience over in seconds.
"Homer, you said that I am now taking advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold. If you don't react, continue to fight, expand your advantage, or stick to it and deal with the Duchy of Sogn first. Steady dìng behind?"
Downton hesitated, he really didn't want to waste such a good opportunity to attack.
"If you are greedy and chew more, you have to think about the body of the ogre, and whether you will have enough troops to garrison after taking more cities!"
Homer warns.
"Constant victories will inspire the soldiers and make them more warlike!"
Downton was ready to urge his soldiers to speed up their march.
"Your steps are too big, I'll make you sweep Songen, otherwise if that Grand Duke strikes back, your legion's back road will be cut off!"
The cheap god spoke up.
"Don't you even approve of it?"
Downton was disappointed.
"What you get in your hand is far more important than what you can't hold steadily!"
Cheap God is bitter, young people are like this, too eager for brilliant victory, "If you want to succeed, you must know how to make trade-offs, and only if you give up can you get it!"
"A Duchy of Sogn is worth a piece of southern territory, a lot, plus hundreds of thousands of people, if you want to digest it, it will take a lot of time!"
Homer persuaded, "When the time comes, your defense line will advance to this Duowei City, whether you fight or defend, you completely control the initiative!"
"Your air force has an absolute advantage over any third-rate country, not worse than this little time!" the cheap god reminded, "Don't forget, there is also a prince of Wigan, I think you should teach his country a lesson!"
"I'm worried that the suzerains behind Samosai will come out to mediate the war!"
Downton frowned.
"You don't seem to have the backing of the Lombards, and besides, you should be worried about the diplomats of Yves Saint Laurent now, and if they arrive, you will have no good excuse to eat the Duchy of Sogn. ”
Homer can be sure that after this war, Downton will definitely become a potential stock, and those big powers will definitely spend a lot of effort to win him over.
"Okay!"
Downton also figured it out, just let a few vanguard corps rest, and wait for the follow-up army to arrive by the way, don't look at Samosai's loss of 200,000 troops, but if people mobilize the whole country, they can recruit at least another 1 million and 50 soldiers!
After the order sent by the herald of Barty Street, he led the orc foreign legion to stop at Sogn City, and later the three main human legions arrived, with a total strength of 30,000!
After Downton took office, not only did he not deduct food and salary, but also equipped these main forces with the best equipment, so standing in the sun, they shone brightly with helmets and armor, and the flag fluttered, showing their elite demeanor.
The Grand Duke of Sogn drove all his soldiers to the head of the city, at least to let the enemy know that his side had the advantage in numbers.
"The most important thing now is to avoid them from attacking the city!"
Just as the Grand Duke and a large number of officers were in the hall, discussing whether to send people to work the army, the subordinates reported that a warship had arrived over the city.
"Let's go, let's see!"
The Grand Duke walked out first, and the others hurried to follow. Downton is a powerful king, who dares not to come? Then wait to be punished.
The Town Hall is located in the heart of the city, in the best area, and not far in front of the town square, which used to be full of tourists, but today it is full of tourists. Even the citizens were in a hurry, and the fountain that had been built at great expense stood alone.
"This guy is so bold, isn't he afraid that we will arrest him and force him to retreat?"
Seeing that the Ancient Spear actually began to descend, obviously to land in the square, the officers were dumbfounded, how domineering must this be to do such a thing?
"Shhhh People are scepters, and they also have immortal phoenixes, and we are all not opponents of others!"
"Such a huge battleship is enough to carry a thousand soldiers!"
There are still some guys with good brains among these officers, but at this time they also look worried and full of fear of the unknown future.
The battleship landed, and the spiral ladder opened. A Praetorian Guard, consisting of a hundred Krupp giants, stepped down, their boots stomping on the ground. There was a neat thump.
The Grand Duke was still depressed, worried that the elite soldiers who came down played a tactic of flowering in the center, but soon found that he was too worried, and Downton actually brought a team of 100 people into the city, but these guys look so strong!
Red skin with a black military uniform and a large-brimmed hat that covers the eyes. and long military boots, a breath of iron and blood immediately rushed to the face.
"Grand Duke Sogn?"
Downton looked at the middle-aged man standing at the front, his hair meticulously groomed, and the wrinkles on his face were covered by foundation.
"Duke of Downton, fortunate will!"
The Grand Duke accompanied the smiling face. took the initiative to greet him and stretched out his hand.
"Open the gates and let my soldiers in!"
Instead of shaking the Archduke's hand, Downton stared at him and uttered a request that frightened him the most.
"I booked a banquet in the most luxurious restaurant, where the chef is from the distant Oriental Silk Country, eat first, and then talk after eating!"
The Grand Duke was so aggrieved that he wanted to die, but he had no choice but to plead in a low voice and try his best to satisfy Downton.
"I ate when I came!"
Downton glanced at the officers behind the Grand Duke, and they subconsciously straightened their backs.
"Haha, the soldiers are not hungry, I have prepared a lot of supplies, and I was going to send them out a long time ago!" the Grand Duke laughed, "By the way, I recently accepted the invitation of the Napoleonic family to visit Saint Laurent, during which I attended a high-level auction and auctioned a good exhibit, if you don't dislike it, you can enjoy it with me?"
"He's going to bribe you!"
Cheap god teases.
"No need!"
Downton refused.
"Don't, don't refuse, it's the best worth 90 million, if you like it, I can also transfer it to you at a low price!"
The Grand Duke smiled, but he hated it to death in his heart, "Don't be complacent, when the messenger of Saint Laurent arrives, how to eat it, I will let you vomit it out for me!"
"You're threatening me?"
Downton snorted.
"Don't dare!"
That's what the Grand Duke meant, but it seems that the effect is not great, this guy really deserves to be an indigenous duke, and he is completely stunned.
"This guy is so young!"
Looking at Downton's face and listening to his domineering choking of the Grand Duke, all the officers felt that they had lived to be dogs for so many years.
"I repeat, open the gates and let my soldiers in!" Downton glared at Grand Duke Sogn, "Do you obey, or do you want to die?"
Hiss!
The officers gasped and looked at each other, all feeling bad.
"Haha, this joke is not funny!" "Archduke Sogn straightened up, "I'm also the Archduke of Sogn canonized by Yves Saint Laurent!"
"I'm not from Yves Saint Laurent!"
Downton pulled out a Devi crystal and threw it to the Grand Duke, "One last chance!"
The Grand Duke was puzzled and poured magic energy into the crystal, and when the picture of the bombing appeared, he was completely stupid, especially the scene of corpses all over the field after the war, which made his hands and feet cold.
The officers subconsciously looked up and saw those steam airships, hovering over the city, and they must have been ready to drop bombs without asking. (To be continued......)
