1499. The nobles of the city
As the battle on the city wall entered the white heat, the demon generals died one after another, and thousands of demon warriors were sent to fail to capture the city wall of the North Mountain Pass, and the headless horseman on the mountain finally couldn't sit still.
It stood up, its tall body was also extremely tall among the demon group, and it passed over the countless demon warriors around it.
Striding to the bottom of the city wall, it saw the phantom of the archangel that appeared on the city wall from time to time, and the moment the white angel wings unfolded, the holy light emitted was so dazzling.
The mangled body has no head, but that doesn't mean it's incapable of seeing the scenery in the distance.
The bone armor on the shoulders has two eyes that can be turned forward and backward at will, and it doesn't even need to turn around, just turn its eyes to see the scenery around it.
It stared at Surdak at the head of the city, as if remembering something from a long time ago.
He had just crawled out of the depths of the abyss, and that time they had walked a long way, and he remembered that the army had walked hundreds of days along the spiraling ladder before reaching the battlefield in the clouds, and the sky was full of angels with white wings......
Memories are piece-by-piece, and many things may be too old to be remembered.
It had even forgotten how it had survived that battlefield.
But the resentment in his heart is getting heavier and heavier, and now the pair of white wings have allowed it to regain some long-forgotten memories.
The fire in its heart burned instantly, black flames filled its body, its eyes were only the white light and shadow on the city wall, it began to run hard, it took great steps, it ran faster and faster, and its body brought up a white light......
The Headless Horseman didn't climb the burning walls, he stared at the swarthy hole in the middle of the fire.
Each step it took was heavy and powerful, each step left deep footprints, and when the speed surged to the extreme, the Headless Horsemann had reached the hole in the gate beneath the city walls.
The demon warriors who were trying to smash the door didn't even have time to dodge, and the headless horseman's shoulders slammed against the large iron gate of the city gate.
The heavy iron gates are custom-made according to the gates of the city of Hailanza, which are made of giant wood splices, and the surface of the planks is also covered with a thick layer of iron plates, and they are tightly connected with iron rivets.
In fact, the back of the city gate is filled with some stones and bags of sand.
The demon warriors rushed into the gate hole and tried to tear down the two large iron gates, but unfortunately they only peeled off the surface of the iron sheet......
Before they could make a move on the wooden door, the Headless Horsemann rushed in from the outside, a giant crystal shield appeared in front of his shoulder, and slammed into the gate.
……
Surdak felt only a loud tremor beneath his feet, as if this section of the wall was about to collapse.
The gate hole below was even more dusty, and then the north side of the gate was in chaos, and the shouts and screams of the aboriginal warriors reached the city walls.
Surdak's heart immediately cooled, and he knew that the situation was not good, and the demon warrior should have opened the city gate below......
There are so many aboriginal warriors under the city wall, and now I know that the battle situation is not very optimistic just by the sound that comes from me, but the battle situation on the city wall has not stabilized, and the fire oil at the foot of the city wall is about to burn out, and there are more and more demon warriors rushing up.
Although the second-turn powerhouse on the city wall has suppressed the demon general, it does not have much advantage.
Now there is chaos under the walls, and once a large number of demon warriors rush in from under the walls, it will be a big problem.
As he approached the city walls, he glanced at the northern block, and immediately saw the Headless Horseman rushing into the aboriginal neighborhood, followed by a group of demon warriors, and the aboriginal warriors were killed and wounded in the places they passed along the way.
The headless horseman was unstoppable, and the native warriors fell in front of him like weeds in a great meadow, with the swing of the scythe.
Even the few second-turn powerhouses who came up were shocked back by the cyan long sword.
Seeing the chaos beneath the city walls, Surdak patted his forehead, knowing that if the headless horseman was not disposed of, the battle situation would continue to deteriorate.
Thinking of this, he asked Gullitham and Tygo to guard the city wall with the second group of constructed knights, and jumped off the wall with the sword of Kurwin and the golden shield himself, slashed down the several demon warriors in front of him, and chased in the direction of the Headless Horseman through gritted teeth.
……
With Kornberg County completely captured by the Bednar Legion, the elite forces of the Kornberg Legion, including thirteen Constructed Swordsmen and thirty-five Heavy Cavalry Regiments, have now moved to the battlefield along the Kempato River.
However, the heavy infantry regiments and archery regiments, the logistics baggage regiments, the bed crossbow regiments, the catapult regiments, etc., returned to Handanar one after another.
The remnants of the demon forces on the Kornberg side will be surrounded by the seventeen light cavalry regiments of the Bednar Legion, and these cavalry will gradually withdraw from Kornberg after the noble lords of Handanal County have settled in Kornbergshire.
The Duke of Newman had already returned to the city of Handhanar two weeks ago, and had been in session for ten consecutive days in the council hall of the House of Representatives of the city of Handanaar.
In fact, it is openly dividing the land of Kornberg County with the noble lords of Handanaar County, and the biggest cake already belongs to the Bednar Legion, but after all, Kornberg County has nearly a million square kilometers of land, and the Duke of Newman has only divided the most fertile part into his own territory, and the rest of the land will be distributed to the other lords of the Bednar Legion according to merit, and finally the rest will be taken to the Interior Council of Handanar City.
This kind of meeting is more like a land auction for the noble lords, the conditions are very restrictive, and not all nobles have the right to buy, first of all, the first point is that you need to have a lord army, otherwise you can't hold the land that has just been opened up.
In addition, the rank of nobles is limited, for example, a baron, even if he has a strong army and enough property, before he is promoted to a viscount or earl, the land he can only own is a small town.
In fact, the land that Surdak currently owns is very inconsistent with the title he owns.
He is currently only a third-class earl, but now he is already a plane lord, and there are large territories in other planes, which is very unreasonable, but these lands are all developed by Surdak's own lord army, and it can be said that according to the Grimm Empire's four-three-three land distribution law.
Now that Surdak's exploits on the battlefield in the Warsaw plane were enough for him to become a marquis, the matter would not be criticized.
There is no shortage of noble lords in Bena Province who have heavy troops but are unwilling to send troops to participate in plane wars, but after the victory of the war, they take out a large number of magic crystals to buy territory, and these lords are often not short of money, and the threshold for this kind of battle to divide the territory is set for them.
If you want to upgrade your knighthood, it's relatively simple.
The normal way is to form a lord army, and then take the lord army to participate in plane warfare, and get promoted if you gain enough merit.
There are also abnormal means, but they are very expensive.
Noble lords can purchase unidentified Dark Crystals, which can only be obtained from the Dark Legion of the Abyss Forces, each of which represents the death of a Dark Legion warrior, including the Nakma Legion, the Nibru Legion, the Faceless Legion, and the Evil Legion.
Of course, Duke Newman also wanted to use this allocation of the territory of Kornberg County to earn back the huge expenses spent by the Bednar Army in the Warsaw plane for eight years.
The fruits of victory are often very sweet, and the windfall profits of war are also fully reflected in this battle.
Now, in just a few months, the Bena Legion has completely turned around.
Many of the heavy infantry regiments in Handanaar are now preparing for their return to Bena Province.
The noble lords of Handanar gathered in the council hall, and the noise made it look like a wet market.
Duke Newman rubbed his forehead helplessly, the cake in Kornberg County had been divided up three days ago.
The Bednar Legion can be regarded as returning to the Grimm Empire with dignity this time.
The Duke of Newman was about to return to the province of Bena.
He's been so busy lately that he's been dealing with all sorts of things, so he doesn't want to sit in the council hall all the time and waste time with these noble lords.
However, the noble lords in the council hall were all in high spirits, many of them got the desired territory in Kornberg, and of course there were also people who did not grab a good territory, and everyone sat here to discuss how to govern Kornberg in the future.
Eventually, these powers of self-government were to be handed over to the noble lords of Handanaar, and the Duke of Newman was only required to hold the executive appointments of Kornberg.
The Legion of Bednar is also going home, and the Kornberg County will be garrisoned by the Legion of Noble Lords with territories.
However, the topic of discussion is not on this topic, which makes Duke Newman a little upset, and constantly reminds everyone to return to the original topic.
However, these noble lords originally wanted to bring the topic to the east and west reinforcement defense areas.
The Eastern Route Army is guarding the Naroda Gorge, where the Demon Legion has not been completely wiped out, and the noble lords of Handanaar County are unwilling to fight this Demon Legion, so they hope that when the main force of the Bena Legion returns to Handanaar City, they can destroy this Demon Legion by the way, so as not to be unable to deal with it later.
In addition, this group of noble lords also hopes that after the demon legion in the Naroda Gorge is cleared, Duke Newman will also take out the Naroda Fortress for auction.
The fort was built after a military stronghold, and when the fighting subsided, it would become a very nice town with little to no further construction.
Duke Newman has been reluctant to let go of this matter, and the main reason is that the fortress of Naroda was promised to Edmond in the first place. The benefits of the Marquis of Arnold, otherwise why would he lead an army of 100,000 to the Warsaw plane at this time.
There were so many lords' private armies in Handanar City, and I didn't see any lord willing to send his army to garrison Naroda Fortress.
Now it's time to divide the cake, and the noble lords of the city stick out their paws, obviously looking a little ugly.
In addition, the lords of Handanaar County also put forward one thing, that is, the Western Route Army has now attacked Moyunling and successfully opened the south gate of Moyunling, which means that the Bena army can drive straight through the south gate and enter the Moyunling Heights to start a new round of warfare.
These noble lords had no idea of attacking the Moyunling Pass and garrisoning the Gandaer Mountains.
But if it was to carve up a large territory on Moyun Mountain, this group of noble lords would simply want to sharpen their heads and drill into it.
Who doesn't know that the Demon Legion of Moyunling has been frightened by the Eastern Route Army, and it has now shrunk into the largest garrison of the Demon Legion, and now the southern area of the Moyunling Heights is full of adventure groups hunting evil ghosts.
According to the information you received from the party, it is rare to encounter demons in large areas of land on the highlands......
At this time, as long as you rush to the high ground with the lord army, those lands will be simply picked up for nothing.
I don't know what happened to the Eastern Route Army, at present, a large number of Eastern Route Army are gathered in the Dake Valley, and the Surdak commander even built a wall on the north side of the valley, and Leng ordered the army to be stationed in the valley and not to set foot in the Moyunling Heights for half a step.
At present, there are some adventure groups active in the Moyunling Highlands......
After hearing such news, the noble lords of Handanar County were moved again: How long will it take for this kind of good thing to be met, since the Eastern Route Army is unwilling to send troops to attack the Moyunling Heights, we are willing!
Therefore, at this meeting, at least twenty noble lords took the initiative to apply to Duke Newman to join the Eastern Route Army, enter the Moyunling Heights as independent reinforcements, and participate in the battle there.
This is what makes Duke Newman a little annoyed, and there is no way to refuse directly.
Because if they refuse, it is really possible that these noble lords will refuse to participate in all the wars organized by the Bena Legion in the future.
Unidentified Black Crystals can now be found everywhere in Handanar City, many of which have flowed in from the battlefields of Moyunling, where a large number of adventuring groups hunt evil spirits on the highlands.
Almost more than seventy percent of the adventure groups in Handanar City have gone to Moyunling to pan for gold, and it is said that there are countless adventure groups that have made a fortune because of this, and many powerful adventure groups have hunted evil ghosts there, and even bought rare magic pattern structures.
When such news reached Handanar City, how could this group of noble lords endure it.
The matter of sending troops to Moyunling has been discussed in the council hall for three days, and as more and more noble lords have expressed their strong willingness to fight to Duke Newman, Duke Newman's original attitude of unswervingly not sending reinforcements has finally loosened.
As the noble lords relented and agreed to reinforce the lord army of the Moyun Ridge Heights under the unified command of Surdak, Duke Newman stamped his seal on the declaration of the expedition.
For a moment, the entire city of Handanar cheered.
The people began to expect news of another victory from the Moyunling Heights......
And the noble lords are looking forward to the taste of the first bite of cake......
The Duke of Newman was making final preparations for his return to the province of Bena......
