Chapter 197: Resealing
It can't be helped, the difference in physique is there.
The Bakaria people are no longer short, with an average height of around 1.8 to 1.9 meters. But most of the Northland barbarians are two to two meters tall.
But on the battlefield, as long as the Bakarians were formed into infantry columns, the advantage of the barbarians no longer existed.
Having lost almost all of her ships in a head-to-head duel, and even learned that the Bakarians had sharp artillery, Ulani's idea was to lead Martin and his troops deep into the hilly terrain of the wasteland, using the complex terrain and the barbarians' individual superiority to annihilate Martin's army in one fell swoop.
The idea is good. But Martin didn't take the bait.
Several extremely murderous inventions shattered Ulani's thoughts.
The first is naturally cement and rail-drawn carriages, followed by tortoiseshell chariots, and most importantly, long saws.
The iron sheet is zigzag-shaped, and then two people pull the saw, this way of cutting wood is many times faster than the traditional axe cutting.
This is almost the Middle Ages, and as long as the land is fertile and rainy, there are lush primeval forests everywhere. Martin, a GDP-only traverser, will not tell you anything about environmental protection.
Saw off the trees for me!
The result is that the speed of city building is speeding up!
The Slingers were dumbfounded.
Let the Bakarians build the city, wall it, and still want to take the land back?
In May, Ullani sent nearly 10,000 people to harass her.
Naturally, it was a fiasco.
The Bakarians didn't even need to form troops, they went directly to the tortoiseshell chariot and blocked it, and they could shoot down more than n barbarians with their arrows alone.
Martin's march was by no means greedy, and he marched on the extended railroad carriages and the walls that guarded the railroad tracks.
He's going to play [The Great Wall] to divide the wasteland.
The primeval forests and hilly areas of the people were divided into dozens of large and small pieces.
The reinforced concrete city wall, which is half a meter thick, is not something that can be knocked over by just hitting a tree with a log. The walls, watchtowers, and railcars were built simultaneously, and if they could not be done in half an hour, Martin's troops would arrive and join the patrolling sentinels in beating the barbarians.
Lost troops and lost generals, and did not achieve anything.
This time, any Slinger could feel a noose around their neck, slowly tightening.
Originally, Martin was very solid in the war, but a series of news changed his strategy.
Last autumn harvest, when he leveled Princess Vivien, he stabbed the Mussalonian family by the way. Now the end result is in.
Don't blame the Bakaria royal family for being slow to do things, this is typical of this era.
Bakaria founded the country with chivalry, and naturally paid attention to the distinction between public and private and good and evil.
It is a great sin for the Mussalonian family to take refuge in the goddess of pleasure, and the main family of the Mussalonian is certainly doomed, and even if they are not directly responsible, they must bear such crimes as poor supervision and concealment. Its separation is not so easy to deal with.
Think about it, even a cutting-edge aristocrat like Martin has connections like Coden, Charlie, and Sylvie. A duke's family that has been inherited for hundreds or even thousands of years has long been intertwined, covering the entire province, and even has a marriage or blood relationship with the central nobles of the province of Kot.
If it was the Celestial Empire in the previous feudal era, one [Zhu Jiu Clan] big move would have been done.
Here, what is needed is a detailed review and conviction.
What's even funnier is that because of the relationship between establishing the country by force, as long as it is not treason, but any crime that is enough to be sentenced to death, there is one last trick in Bakaria law [to prove innocence by duel].
The prosecution said that so-and-so was guilty, and so-and-so sent a knight to carry people, and the car overturned the knight sent by the prosecution, then so-and-so was innocent.
Moreover, there is no second instance of the case, and no one will want to use this matter to talk about things in the future.
It's amazing, isn't it?
It was this trick that the Musaron family relied on to move back to several cities. There were three earls who escaped the punishment of capital and confiscation of all their territories because their own knights overthrew the [Trial] knights sent by the king.
If Martin hadn't negotiated with his future father-in-law early in the morning, the royal party would have lost face this time.
"Congratulations, you have proven your innocence, but you have not yet proved your loyalty and courage to the Kingdom. In the name of King Bakaria, I now order you to be transferred to the Duke of Martin Lorraine. Depending on your performance in the Wasteland Province, it will be up to you to retain your Earl's title and fiefdom. The test period is ten years!" Keane Big Fat Bear announced at the time of another earthquake in the whole of Bakaria.
This trick is definitely smooth and leaves people speechless.
There is no sealing, but to prove yourself with blood and life. Everyone knows that although Martin is good at fighting, will he make the three earls have a better time?
The king was also sympathetic to the people, and let the three families and their immediate subjects start to move after the spring begins.
After a three-month journey, all the direct and collateral members of the three counts' families, plus 4,000 soldiers and 15,000 civilians, finally arrived in Lorraineburg.
This time, the big bear king was very good and did not directly throw this burden to Martin.
"This is the settlement money that Your Majesty has given you to settle these Bakaria nationals, and the Golden Eagle Knights will listen to all orders from His Excellency the Duke for the next three years. Old friend Trist stood in front of Martin with a smile on his face.
Martin smiled too.
The Golden Eagle Knights are absolutely reliable in terms of combat power and loyalty. With them to intimidate the Musaron army, Martin could rest assured.
300,000 gold coins is nothing to Martin, and it is also an attitude. With the start-up funds in hand, Martin has a way to settle down these fifteen thousand 'criminals' and officially integrate into the Lorraine family.
Martin hugged Uncle Trist warmly, patted him on the shoulder, and said nothing.
With their relationship, this is what it means to be able to entrust one's back without saying anything.
It doesn't get much better than that.
has worked together once, and Uncle Trist is also 10,000 reassuring to Martin.
"Alright, you three introduce yourselves. Martin swept his calm gaze over the three men in military uniforms, kneeling on one knee.
The one who took the lead looked up first, and it was a middle-aged knight with a pale golden hair, he was slightly thin, with high cheekbones and deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. From his bloodshot eyes and black bags under his eyes, it can be seen that he has been having a hard time lately.
When he looked at Martin, there was a complex look in his blue eyes, the most uneasiness, followed by panic, and a little longing......
"Hello, Your Excellency Duke of Lorraine, the hero of Bakaria, I am Count Wayne Muthalon of the side of the Muthallon family. I had 10 knights, 30 servants, and 1,100 soldiers. We are eager to serve His Excellency the Duke. ”
