Chapter 123: Parting Performance
Sitting in the study of the Marquis's Mansion, Marquis Jin Yue looked at these subordinates and clansmen who were pretending to be busy in front of him expressionlessly, defeat was inevitable, no one knew about them and the hostile coalition side, the current situation had long been in his expectations, well, everyone was acting according to his script.
After this battle, whether he won or lost, the Marquis of Golden Moon had achieved his goal, on the one hand, he was ready to use the price of destroying the Golden Moon Leader to fight for a heavy blow to the coalition army, and on the other hand, he made his eldest son mentally prepared to contribute half of Kevin Ellis's family fortune, well, half of the wealth he brought with him.
And the Marquis of Golden Moon only hoped that he would win one more time with this double bet, and if Kevin Ellis's plan succeeded, then the Golden Moon family could have a comeback one day.
If even Kevin Ellis fails, well, Marquis of Golden Moon has to hope that with the youngest son of the other half of the family's wealth, he can successfully reach the Stirling Empire and continue the Golden Moon family there, Marquis Golden Moon knows the truth of "don't put all your eggs in one basket".
In the small town of Bourville, Lin Feng and Tyranya came here again, but they were accompanied by the three thousand soldiers of the "Golden Rose Knights". Out of caution, Lin Feng left 2,000 men in the rear to protect his own supply lines, and he could not trust the motley army led by Earl Benjamin Harold.
Compared with the last time, the town of Bourville now looks even more dilapidated, the Marquis of Jinyue's behavior of scraping the ground has completely cut off the trade routes in Jinyue's territory, and the young and strong in the town have basically been forcibly requisitioned by him, so there are only some old and weak women and children left in the town who have nowhere to go to suffer here.
Lin Feng is going to camp here today to rest, according to the news obtained by the secret agents, after passing through Bourville, it will be the Silver Pine Fort where the Marquis of Jinyue has gathered heavy troops, and Lin Feng needs to wait in Bourville for the private armies of other nobles to come and meet.
It's ridiculous to say, it was those nobles who couldn't wait to urge Lin Feng to send troops, and it was those nobles who dragged their feet behind after sending troops, complaining about the poor food of the army for a while, and complaining that the itinerary was too rushed, hearing this, Lin Feng wanted to smack them in the face, "Do you think this is going out for an outing to hunt?"
In order to be out of sight and out of mind, Lin Feng took the "Golden Rose Knights" as the vanguard, and after building a camp in the small town of Bourville, Lin Feng immediately sent several groups of messengers to urge those nobles behind them to come to the rendezvous as soon as possible.
Three days later, looking at the assembled rebel coalition army, Lin Feng couldn't help but comfort himself in his heart, "Fortunately, my enemies are also relatively bad, well, at least our morale is still good." ”
Silver Pine Castle, Marquis of Golden Moon looked at the map in front of him, and the markers representing the enemy's troops had already gathered in the small town of Bourville, which also meant that his final battle with the Golden Rose Viscount was about to begin.
Marquis Jinyue originally planned to set up five defense lines in the Golden Moon Territory and deploy heavy troops on each line, he wanted to use this to exhaust and kill those so-called "rebel coalition forces", but his idea was very beautiful, but the reality was very cruel.
Because most of his army were forcibly recruited civilians, it was good that they gathered in Silver Pine Fort, after all, there was a wall on the outside, and there were henchmen guarding it inside, and these civilians could only accept their fate as his private army.
But as soon as he sent these civilians into an army to guard the line, well, only one day later, and when he went to inspect the line again, it was only the corpses of his henchmen who had been sent to be officers in the area, and as for the others, they had already dispersed in a hurry.
Therefore, the Marquis of Jinyue also broke off the idea of setting up a defensive line, he simply concentrated all the supplies, grain and grass to Yinsong Fort, and all the troops were also concentrated in Yinsong Fort, and then he sat and waited for the coalition army to attack, and there was still a little hope hidden in the heart of Marquis Jinyue, "If I hold on here long enough, maybe I can wait for Kevin Ellis's reinforcements!"
Lin Feng looked at the Silver Pine Fort in front of him, his head was also very painful, a strong attack would definitely not work, how many people would have to die? If there were too many casualties among the coalition forces, as the commander of the coalition forces, his reputation would be over, and it would be very detrimental to his future development.
There was no good way, Lin Feng could only command the coalition forces to temporarily besiege Yinsong Fort, his idea was: "Siege but not attack, wait for the opportunity." As for the suggestion of those nobles led by Benjamin Harold, the deputy commander of the coalition army, that "launch an attack as soon as possible, it is best to capture Silver Pine Fort in one fell swoop", Lin Feng could only report with "hehe"!
......
Shore Enrique is a mid-tier Rogue who has just advanced to level six, and due to his physical limitations, he has no way to choose the more popular assassination or combat specializations in the Rogue class. Therefore, before being recruited by Viscount Golden Rose, he could only be in the company of those hooligans on the streets of the slums, and naturally, he had no future at all.
Shoal Enrique, who is unwilling to be a low-level gangster all his life, immediately made a decision after learning the news that Viscount Golden Rose was recruiting secret agents: "I must join his command!" The reason is very simple, what Viscount Golden Rose needs is a thief like him who is good at stealing, peeping, and gathering intelligence.
Ordinary veteran aristocrats have their own intelligence system, and the people in charge of this system are also the henchmen cultivated by this aristocratic family for generations, and Shore Enrique knows very well that if he joins the command of those veteran nobles, then he can only be a lowest-level spy cannon fodder, and he will never be reused.
And the time for Viscount Golden Rose to rise in Golden Moon City is too short, his family does not have a formed intelligence system at all, and he, Shore Enrique, believes that as long as he gives all his loyalty to Viscount Golden Rose, with his ability, he is confident that he will get an important position, or even a leadership position, in the intelligence system of Viscount Golden Rose's Mansion!
As Viscount Golden Rose recruited more and more spies, Shawl Enrique also found that Lord Viscount also had the idea of integrating spies to improve the intelligence system of the Viscount's Palace, and Shawl Enrique, who was the first to join, also received more and more espionage missions. ”
Silverpine Castle, Shoal Enrique stood crookedly with the other forcibly recruited civilians in tattered leather armor and a bamboo spear, well, he only pretended to be a homeless man in the town of Bourville for two days, and he was forcibly conscripted into the army and mixed into Silverpine Castle.
