Section 44 Opportunity?
Time passed unconsciously, and in the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and the time came to mid-June, and the armies on both sides of the Aini River front continued to confront each other. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Some nobles, perhaps provoked or voluntarily, began to openly question their lord's decision!
The Earl of Lockton had to strive several people of their titles of nobility under various pretexts, which was a very severe punishment, but the benefits were obvious, and his aim was to make the other nobles understand his determination, so that they could be completely quiet.
Viscount Donna's handling was more straightforward, he executed those opponents in the name of the lord for 'breaking the oath', he did not do it himself, but let the executioner execute it! This made many nobles dissatisfied with his verdict, but they did not dare to question it in person.
The two opposing sides are at peace again.
Until the afternoon of June 25th, Gray was taking advantage of his rare free time to intensify the training of the soldiers he had just recruited, especially the soldiers of the regiment recruited by the vassals of the Earl of Lockton, the Fourth Infantry Regiment.
There are soldiers, just a bunch of farmers in gear.
It's a loss that the fight didn't start, otherwise these soldiers would really be difficult to arrange, even if they were arranged to act as cannon fodder at the front line, because once they were scattered by the enemy, they would definitely run back, so it would be easy to break down their own formation.
After nearly a month of training, coupled with occasional skirmishes and a group of veterans, the 4th Infantry Regiment was able to barely take on each other.
"Sir Gray, a scout has a military briefing!" Ruken whispered in Gray's ear as he trotted over to a wooden platform in the training grounds.
Gray frowned, and was about to let the scout come in to speak, but turned his head to look at Ruken's expression, his heart moved, and he hurriedly said to the Pula Knight next to him, "I'll leave it to you, Pula Knight!"
"Don't worry, Sir Grey!" Pura nodded.
Gray immediately turned to leave, and he whispered to Ruken beside him, "Where is the man?"
Luck hurriedly replied, "In your tent, Sir!" Gray stopped talking nonsense when he heard this, and strode towards his camp, and Ruken behind him couldn't even keep up.
Inside the tent, a dusty young man, his left arm and even one sleeve in shabby clothes were gone, leaving a somewhat blackened arm exposed.
"How's it going?" Gray asked, vaguely discerning that it was one of the scouts he had sent out, like Vic, but Gray was unsure and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Vic, Sir Sir!" he said his name.
Gray nodded, confirming his identity, and Navic continued: "It took a little time, mainly because they didn't trust me at all at first, and finally I had to pretend to be a refugee, so I blended in with a group of refugees in Miga Town, and then ......"
"Wait, you mean a group of refugees?" Gray was full of questions, the three major towns in the northwest of the Herion Territory can be said to be very rich, this area has been peaceful for nearly 20 years, there can be no refugees at all, and even if there is, there can be no refugee groups!
Vic's face was very resentful: "The group of devils in the territory of Harrens, they ransacked three towns, and many people were homeless!"
Gray frowned, this was a bad custom in the nomadic era of humans, and many nobles responded to Viscount Donna's call mostly to be able to plunder money to make up for the increasingly deficit finances.
Don't look at the extravagant life of the big nobles, the money seems to be running out, but there are still many small nobles in the countryside, they are not good at managing their territory, and they are even worse than the middle-income civilian families in Herien City.
This group of people is most eager for war, because war can bring a good income to people like them, although it is accompanied by a certain risk, but what to do now is not risky?
"Let's get down to business, Vic! we'll avenge them!" Gray didn't care about that right now.
When Vic heard Gray's words, he immediately settled down, "After more than 20 days of contact, I found that there are also small groups of refugees, so I tried to contact one of the largest groups, and they are jointly managed by three people!"
"Things went unexpectedly well, I just explained our requirements, and they didn't even think much about it, they agreed to it alone, just asked us to provide them with equipment for a team of 100!"
Gray was stunned for a moment, and said: "There is no problem with the equipment, but now the entire Aini River is blocked, and it can't be transported at all!"
Vic immediately answered: "Directly on the east bank, they will send someone to pick it up!
Gray's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Do they have a way to get to the other side of the river without being discovered by the enemy?"
Vic shook his head and nodded, "You can't transport troops this way, Lord Sir!, they're bypassing each other's defenses, just like me, so they have to pass through the territories of other nobles!"
Vic was smart enough to apparently know why Gray was asking.
Gray only smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said secretly: Sure enough, this is what it looks like.
Immediately Gray thought about the other party's request, a hundred sets of equipment is nothing, this bet is worth the pressure, as the captain of the guard, Gray can be the master without even asking Earl Lockton.
But what can you do with a hundred men? Even if it is to harass the enemy's rear supply lines, it is not enough! But Gray will not withdraw, if it really succeeds?
The other party is obviously very smart, and the price they came up with is something that their side can't refuse.
"However, the other party also said that if they can successfully contain Viscount Donner's logistical supply line, we will need to give them a knighthood when we win!" Vic said this, looking at Gray cautiously.
Gray chuckled.
However, if they can really hold back the enemy's logistical supply line with a hundred sets of equipment, a knight's title Lord Earl will definitely agree, and this is a matter of setting aside a few sets of equipment for another manor.
Moreover, if the other party really has such an ability to gain their allegiance, the Earl of Lockton will earn even more.
"The Earl will agree!" Gray said with a serious expression.
Immediately afterwards, Gray arranged for Vic to go down to rest, and he first went to the Earl of Lockton to make a separate report, and as Gray expected, the Earl of Lockton agreed without even thinking about it, and he paid almost zero for this transaction.
But for civilians who want to become knights, the deal is also worth investing in.
Gray began to look forward a little, expecting the other party to surprise him.
You must know that now Viscount Donna's army has about twenty-three thousand, and the daily consumption is huge, if you can really harass the other party's supply line, there will definitely be problems after a long time, and then it will be Gray's chance!
