Chapter 109: Warriors
After a night of assassination, both the offensive and defensive sides lost the ability to fight, so they tacitly stopped the confrontation temporarily, as for when the next round of competition will start, it depends on who will lick the wound first. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Overall, though, Harriez City was less traumatized. Although the nobles who remained in the city were devastated, the heirs of each noble family survived - because they were all planted with witchcraft models and joined the assassination squad. And the wealth and domestic servants are still there, as long as you work hard to have a few more children, you will be a new family in a few years.
However, due to the strain of troops in the city, and the fact that the returning heirs need some time to appease the family guards and control the family, they do not have the energy to counterattack the kingdom alliance forces for the time being.
In contrast, the situation of the coalition forces of the kingdoms outside the city was much worse.
The commander of the coalition army, General Sharu, was killed, only two of the five dukes remained, and only a few insignificant lords remained of the hundreds of nobles who responded to the call. Although more than fifty professionals returned, these professionals were all guards, and their prestige was not enough to command the soldiers under the nobles. For a time, people in the camp were panicked.
General Sharu's men were killed and wounded, but there were still a few leading troops in the King's Guard, and they certainly wanted to continue the attack on Harriez and avenge General Sharu. However, they had less than 8,000 guards at their disposal, and they were not strong enough to attack Harez City.
As for the remaining few little lords, they would have already become frightened birds, and if they weren't afraid that the kingdom would settle accounts after the autumn, they would have fled with their soldiers a long time ago.
And those ordinary soldiers who have lost their nobility have different hearts.
Most of the ordinary levies were peasants who only laid down their farming tools, and now the loss of nobility meant that they could not get the rest of their salaries. As for defecting to other nobles, it can only be used as cannon fodder. As for pensions, don't think about it. If you don't want to leave your life here in vain, you can only flee.
So when the news spread, soldiers continued to flee the camp, and finally even left in formation.
After all, the soldiers recruited by the nobles were all locals, and most of them knew each other, and as long as one person had the intention of leaving, he would soon be able to gather a large number of village parties.
The rest of the professions have their own minds.
Most of the professionals returned to the nobility with guards loyal to the noble families. Now that the head of the family is dead, there is no point in staying here, and the kingdom will not be able to liquidate the heads of these guards, so it is better to go back to the family and establish a new master to live a life of fine clothes and food.
A small number of ambitious professionals saw the opportunity to take refuge in the two surviving dukes, dreaming of soaring.
As for the attitude of the two dukes, it is a little vague, on the one hand, they don't want to disobey the orders of the kingdom, after all, the kingdom has not yet reached the point of breaking their bones, and if they explicitly resist, they will be suspected of rebellion. Although the kingdom will not liquidate those ordinary soldiers and guards, they nobles will not be able to escape.
As for the less than 20,000 troops left here with the hands of the two dukes, it is not enough to attack Harez City, and if the rebels carry out another assassination tonight, they will not be able to resist, after all, there are not so many nobles to share the firepower now, and the professions in their hands are far less than the professions in the hands of the rebels. In addition, General Shalu and his entourage of more than 50 professionals died inexplicably in Harez City, making them a little confused about the details of the rebels.
In the end, after the deliberations of the two dukes, it was decided that the army would temporarily retreat to the city of Kurensos, a hundred miles away. There he waited for reinforcements from the kingdom. After the discussion, the two dukes withdrew into the distance with a few minor lords. The rest of the King's Guards were left alone and could only evacuate Harriez with their troops.
The evacuation of tens of thousands of horses naturally could not hide the eyes and ears of the Harriz sentinels, and the news was soon reported to Count Killian. Earl Killian also let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the news, and hurriedly connected the secret rune to tell the news to Kenan, who was far away in the Nord tribe. And ask what to do next.
Kenan replied, "I won't interfere with what you do, but the task I left to you is to occupy the entire kingdom of Gordon, and if you can't do it, don't come to see me, and my men will leave no waste." After saying that, he hung up the arcane rune. Leaving Count Killian with a headache.
The battle that took place in Harez didn't have much impact on the continent, and no one else paid attention to it except for the angry kingdom of Gordon and a few neighbors waiting around to see the joke. After all, others just beat out the dog's brain, and it is not as important as their own small days.
In the wake of the cold and the summer, Kennan has been living in the Nord tribe for two years.
On the square of the village of Nord. Hunting memorials.
"Look, Brother Kenan actually captured a giant ironclad crocodile by himself. This hunt must be the first place for Brother Kenan. ”
"Yes, don't look at Brother Kenan, who is usually not very showy, but when he gets serious, even the coach has to praise him. ”
The elder of the tribe handed Kenan a one-handed axe, "You have proved yourself to be a true warrior with your bravery, and spread the glory of the Nords with your bravery." ”
"Thanks to the elders' gifts, I hope to be able to challenge the first warrior of the tribe, and I want to prove that I am the strongest Nord. Kennan turned out to be a one-handed axe.
"Oh, sure enough, it's the student that Coach Ruhr praises. We Nords are never afraid of challenges, Ulu warriors, someone is going to challenge you for the title of the first warrior of your tribe, are you ready for the challenge? Elder Erathia looked back at a muscular Nord warrior.
"Always fight to defend honor. Uru stepped out.
"Well, then you guys get started. Elder Erathia took two steps back. The surrounding Nords also retreated and gave way to the field.
Kennan tossed his one-handed axe, "Come on, don't say I didn't give you a chance." ”
Uru grinned and swung his fist at Kenan.
The Nords do not have the habit of putting their mouths on the battlefield, and they will do it when they say it, and they will definitely not talk nonsense.
Ulu used eighty percent of his strength in this punch, intending to teach the fledgling young man a lesson. Let Kenan understand that he doesn't have to win a hunting honor to be called the first warrior of the tribe.
Kenan stretched out his left hand and caught it with a punch with one hand. As soon as he raised his hand, he threw Uru out.
"If you don't have other skills, I'll take the title of the first warrior of the tribe. ”
