York was originally the local military governor of Amethyst Province, and after the Far Eastern Army swept through Amethyst Province, he led his guards to escape. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In that battle, he saw the outstanding combat strength of the Far Eastern Army, and originally wanted to escape back to the royal capital and hold out until the end of the war.

But the day before he was about to enter the royal capital, he ran into the nobles of several other provinces, and these nobles were unwilling to be swept out like this.

They gathered all the remnants in one place and continued to recruit troops, not ordinary civilians who had lost their homes.

Probably the private armies of the nobles, as well as the local ruffians and hooligans, mixed with the most vicious thieves, there were 20,000 people.

This can be regarded as a huge armed force, after all, the huge rebel army at that time was only more than 30,000 people, and it was poorly equipped.

In terms of combat effectiveness alone, under the premise that the Far Eastern Army does not participate, the local army is much stronger than these rebel armies, and the combat power is not a level.

However, these nobles, out of selfishness, always took a delaying attitude in the face of the orders of the royal capital, shirked the lack of supply of the army, never finished the assembly, and watched the rebel army attack the city without being indifferent, in the final analysis, they still wanted to use this opportunity to bargain with the royal capital.

After all, they have lost their territory, and the army in their hands is the capital they are asking for the royal capital, if they rush to send troops before the negotiation is made, and their strength is lost, then what will happen to them after the war is over? These nobles are all very shrewd.

The more passive the situation in the royal capital, the more capital they had in their hands, and after a few days of bargaining, the local aristocratic representatives finally returned satisfied.

"Has His Majesty finally agreed to our request? Hehe, it's all at this juncture, in fact, he can't help but agree, right?"

"That's right, after suffering two setbacks in succession, the garrison in the royal capital only has more than 10,000 troops left, which is really stretched. ”

"And now there is a discordant voice from the border army, and the 20,000 people under our command are the strength that the royal capital needs to rely on. ”

"It was a wise choice that we didn't participate in the siege of the peasants at the beginning, if we had joined the war at that time, the royal capital would never have agreed to such generous conditions, right? ”

The nobles held feasts in their tents to celebrate the response from the royal capital, and they were not like the vulgar fellows of the army.

They served them with elaborate utensils, and well-dressed waiters served them, and even in the barracks, it was elegantly furnished.

No matter what situation they are in, the most basic aristocratic etiquette is essential, which is the aristocratic temperament in their bones.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the soldiers are complaining about the delay in receiving their salaries, and let me ask the adults when the salaries will be paid?"

Just as the nobles were staggering, York, who was now the military governor of the allied army of several major provinces, broke in.

Being able to command an army of 20,000 people seems to be an out-and-out beauty at first glance, after all, being able to command an army of 2,000 people is considered a big man.

Reaching the size of ten legions, this has long exceeded the category of generals, and for professional soldiers, there is no greater glory than this.

But York knew that the composition of this army was very complex, and the current situation was very delicate, and it was difficult to judge where to go.

In this kind of situation where the upper-class nobles only know the sheng song and swallow dance, and the sky-high asking price, and the lower-class soldiers are disobedient, he has a bitter word.

"York, you idiot, didn't you see that we were having a banquet right now?

Goebel was the governor of Amethyst Province, that is, York's direct superior, and he had a good face in the face of the powerful nobles in all major places.

York's intrusion at such a time, which seemed to him to be a humiliating act in front of the nobles, made him angry.

"But Lord Gobel, the situation is a little overwhelming now, and you know, we don't control the army as much as we used to. ”

York's face was embarrassed, these noble lords only knew how to loot the people's fat and people's ointment and pleasures, and the soldiers of the army seemed to them to be a number.

They didn't know anything about military affairs, where would they pay attention to the minds of the soldiers, and besides, it was a joyous moment for them to celebrate the king's reply.

"Don't those soldiers just want money and women, when they win this war, they will give as much as they want, and what can they not control. ”

"That is, if we didn't pay for them, what difference would they have had from those farmers, and these soldiers wouldn't have known much about Entu. ”

"Isn't the role of a military commander to appease the emotions of these soldiers and make them willing to die, and this little problem can't be solved?"

These aristocrats were disgusted by York's intrusion, but because Gobert's face did not say it directly, his words were prickly and weird.

"Enough, you get me out immediately! Whoever dares to make trouble at this juncture, he will be solved, don't bother me with this kind of trivial matter, do you hear?"

Goebel was furious about this, and scolded his subordinates with a blue face, but at this time, he came to ruin the fun, and this guy didn't know the current affairs.

"This ...... Alas!" York still wanted to defend himself, but when he saw Goebel's expression, he could only sigh heavily, take his leave, and turn away.

"Ignore that idiot, let's continue, victory is not far away from us, soon we will be able to achieve higher status, rejoice. ”

After Gobert saw York away, he continued to preside over the celebration, as if victory was close at hand, and laughter continued.

York returned to his tent in dismay, anxiously awaited by his adjutant, who was well aware that the situation in the army was becoming more and more unstable.

"Sir, are you back? What did Lord Goebel say, the salary will be paid soon, those soldiers are making a lot of noise, and if we don't take measures, we are afraid that we will not be able to control it, and those guys usually talk better than anyone else when they are living a good life, but once something happens......

The adjutant shook his head helplessly, those noble lords knew that they were sitting on the ground with the royal capital, how could these lower-level soldiers not be like this?

It's just that the nobles don't care about these lower-level soldiers, and their eyes are always fixed on higher places.

It doesn't matter if the pedals under their feet have become thinner and less stable.

"Alas, I can only coax the soldiers to say that it will be sent in a week, and it can be delayed for a day, but I don't know if they are really willing to fight when the war really begins, and the improvised patchwork army, although much stronger than those farmers, is really against the elite. ”

York is well aware of the current situation of this coalition army, although the number is large, but if you really encounter a professional army, it will definitely be difficult to resist the impact of heavy cavalry.

Just as he sighed helplessly, a scout hurried over.

"Sir, sir, there is an army coming from the north, look at the flag, it should be the army of the Medusa family!"
