Chapter 73: Declaration of War
"Stationed in advance today!"
Lei Ming exchanged a look with Old Sean, he could see that Old Sean was in an urgent manner, and he had something important to discuss with him, and whispered to Shaktor, who was following him.
"Okay!" Shaktor didn't say half a nonsense, he naturally saw that something was going on in the Bourbon family, and quickly agreed, he had been marching in the forest these days, and he didn't stop until dusk every day, and he really needed to rest and rectify.
Soon, a huge tent was erected in the open space, and the nobles who accompanied them also dropped their tents around, even if they were sleeping, they could not burn a fire and sleep in the open like the militia, and the necessary advantages still had to be there, which was their daily work to maintain the aristocracy.
Old Sean saw the respect for Young Master Lei Ming revealed in the expressions of those nobles, and his heart was a little more steady, looking at the countless militiamen, although the equipment was not very good, but all of them were very well-behaved, not as good as the elite private soldiers of the family, but at first glance, he was able to obey the command, and it was very good to be able to do this, and he also had some ideas in his heart.
When entering the tent, old Sean also took a few more glances at the bear goblins standing upright, these tall and mighty bear goblins made him very fond of them, and he thought that it would be good to have more such soldiers, and Murendor also took his men outside the tent with Thunder's tacit approval, which also expressed Thunderming's trust in him.
"Little master, Sean is sorry for you!" As soon as he entered the tent, old Sean knelt down in front of Lei Ming, and the calmness that he had pretended to be just now was swept away, and his face with a lot of wrinkles was full of sadness, "Sean has the trust of the family, your father's bones are not cold, the territory is overturned, 300,000 people are enslaved and suffered, and the family elite is lost, I have no face to see the successive heads of the Bourbon family, and I only hate the wolf ambition of the Turang family!
Old Sean spurted out a mouthful of blood, since the Marquis of Tulange attacked the Bourbon family, he has been enduring the torment in his heart, and now when he sees Young Master Thunder, he can no longer hold back all kinds of complicated emotions in his heart.
"Grandpa Sean, why are you so troubled, blood debts should be paid in blood, when did the Bourbon family ever fear?"
Seeing the gray-haired old man kneeling in front of him and blaming himself, the depression in his chest turned into blood and vomited to the ground, Lei Ming's face changed, and he couldn't help but feel sour in his eyes, this is the family! Lei Ming quickly stretched out his hand to help old Sean up, but the strength of old Sean was weak at this time, and the fatigue of being imprisoned and the rush of day and night hollowed out his body.
A cold light flashed in Lei Ming's eyes, no matter what, he is now the eldest young master of the Bourbon family, the last heir of this thousand-year-old nobleman, and the blood debt of the family must be collected by him, not to mention that Old Sean gave him a deep touch, and the Turang family, which is despised by all nobles, must pay the price!
"Little master, how many militiamen do we have now?" Old Sean naturally wanted to take revenge when he found Lei Ming, the anxiety in his heart had made it difficult for him to sleep every night, as long as he thought that hundreds of thousands of his family's people were being bullied by the Turange family, he was angry.
"There are more than thirty thousand, and it should be more than thirty-five thousand. ”
"So much?!" Old Sean sat down on the straight-backed chair and almost stood up again, he was taken aback by this number, the Bourbon family only had a few thousand private soldiers, and the wartime conscription militia could only be 50,000 to 100,000, and Thunder had actually raised a legion of more than 30,000 people in the foundationless province of Kyle!
Although the combat ability of those militias is all very poor, not even the equipment, but this number is enough to make up for these shortcomings, old Sean originally thought that Lei Ming now has a hundred thousand militia is good, which has made him overjoyed, which means that the Bourbon family's counterattack will be easier, and the boundless crowd scene is definitely exciting.
"Although there are enough people, but all of them are useless, it's okay to bully too many people, I'm afraid that a head-on decisive battle can't beat an elite private army of three or five thousand people, and the weapons and equipment can still think of a way. ”
Lei Ming has already felt the urgency of the situation at this time, at this moment, hundreds of thousands of people of the Bourbon family are suffering, he wants to gain a foothold in the empire, if he wants to gain a foothold on this continent, he can't let it go! If he is cowardly now, he will be spurned by everyone, if it is a man, he should be responsible, and if the family is in danger, he should stand up!
Therefore, Lei Ming is seriously thinking about how to fight back against the Turang family, or even annihilate this family in one fell swoop, and he believes that he has this ability!
"Enough! With so many militias, the Turang family will inevitably be overwhelmed by the general trend, our Bourbon family has a large population in the province of Turange, and many of the people are still loyal to the Bourbons, as long as we build momentum, we can bring the province of Turange back under the control of the family. ”
Old Sean's eyes flashed with wisdom, he lived for such a long time, his wrist is naturally not comparable to Thunder, Lei Ming wants to rely on absolute strength to crush the Turang family, he now has a lot of hole cards, and even at the critical moment can transform into a copper dragon, so he is very confident in defeating the Turang family, but the old Sean is more shrewd, as many as 35,000 troops spread out on the plains, that is a terrible wave, even if it is claimed to be an army of 100,000, as long as it creates momentum, the army has not yet arrived, the private soldiers of the Turang family guarding various places will panic, and then they will either flee or surrender, and the place they pass will be seen to fall, and the successive falls will make the Turange family fall into a panic, and before the decisive battle of the Turange family's private soldiers may collapse, the general trend will be powerless!
Lei Ming figured out the meaning of Old Sean's words after a moment's pause, which reminded him of a bridge in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, after Guan Yu's death, Liu Beixing's 700,000 army crusaded against Dongwu, this number was of course bragged, but Dongwu was in a panic at that time, all kinds of begging for mercy, there was almost no battle everywhere he passed, and he fell from the wind, this is deterrence.
This is a clear plan, even if everyone knows that they claim to have a lot of water in the army of 100,000, but when they see the tide of soldiers surging under the black pressure, they will be cowardly before fighting, and then they will have in their hearts, "There are so many soldiers on the other side, there are 80,000 if there are not 100,000, they will definitely not be able to fight, what if they don't surrender and die in battle?" and so on, so they looked at the wind and surrendered.
"Okay, I'll get people to make a batch of equipment as soon as possible, and I can set off in two days at most!"
Lei Ming figured it out and immediately made a decision, this counterattack war against the Turang family has a lot of benefits for him, he has a reason to launch, firstly, he needs the war now to improve his strength, secondly, the family's righteousness makes him have to stand up, similarly, after standing up, he will gain great prestige in the Bourbon family; finally, once successful, Turang Province and Kyle Province will be under his control, his voice in the empire will be greatly enhanced, he still has a lot of dissatisfaction with His Majesty the Emperor, but at that time the appointment was torn up, everyone knows that the Turang family is a dog raised by His Majesty the EmperorWouldn't it be nice to be able to slap His Majesty the Emperor hard now? At that time, His Majesty's appointment made him very angry.
"Good!" Old Sean was also quite excited, his pale face had a hint of blood, and after depression, he exploded fiercely, and he couldn't wait for the destruction of the Turang family.
In the next two days, the private soldiers under the command of Thunder took turns to rest, and the private soldiers of the nobles in the jungle corridor, as well as the night elves, ploughed the southern part of the Kel's Forest, the jackals were killed, and the pig-like people were all captured, even if there were still remnants in the Kel's Forest, it was no longer a problem, and the nobles in the jungle corridor promised that in the next time, they would actively cooperate with Thunder's will to drive out the jackals of the Kel's Forest.
For two days, the dwarven artisan sheds in the territory continued to transport the latest weapons and equipment to the southern part of the Kel's Forest, and an atmosphere of the future of a great war quietly rose among the militia, even the Night Elves felt it.
"Don't you really need our help? We Night Elves are hired by friendly forces. ”
Sirea continued to persuade Thunder, looking extremely excited, the Night Elves are actually very warlike, and war can allow them to seize a lot of benefits.
"No, this is our war within the Terran race. ”
Thunder resolutely rejected Shirea, he didn't need the Night Elves to intervene in this kind of war, and he couldn't let the Night Elves intervene, as he said, this was an internal war of the Terrans, and he had absolute confidence to win this war!
"It's really boring, more than 8,000 pig-like people have been captured in total...... "Shirea gried, I don't know if it's because she didn't have a chance to intervene in the war, or if she's bored because she has captured too few pig-bodys.
"What else are you going to do? The pig-like people in the Kel's Forest have almost been captured by you!"
This is the end of the cooperation between the two sides, and Shirea needs to escort the pig-like people back, and if it weren't for the help of the spiders who obey the command, they would have had enough headaches just to escort the pig-like people.
On the third day, a shocking news spread from the province of Kyle to the entire empire at a terrifying speed, and the sole heir of the Bourbon family, Thundering Bourbon, on behalf of the Bourbon family, officially declared war on the Turango family!
