714 The South's Decision (2)

Seeing that among so many southern nobles, only one woman dared to stand up and say a fair word, and the bandit leader Ruida slowly leaned back on the back of the chair with a pale face,

Wei Ran sighed, and said in a very emotional voice, "The catastrophe is just around the corner, your lords are watching coldly, but only the Marquise still remembers the original intention of the union, how can I, a lonely 8,000 people, stop the iron hooves of Vekia going south, it's really chilling to think about."

"Captain Ruida, it's not right for you to say that"

From the seat opposite him stood a young man with a proud look, the gold lines on his clothes indicated his noble status, the blue top was tied with solid gold buttons, and the three-petal gold elm leaf coat of arms on his chest indicated that someone in his family had once served the royal family,

His name was Selepe, and he was the adjutant of the commander of the First Legion, Tazar,

His ancestor was the military minister of the kingdom for a term, and he was also considered a wealthy dignitary in the south, and as a noble nobleman, he had always had a disdainful expression for bandits and rebels like Ruida.

He looked at Ruida with an uneven face, and pressed his palm heavily on the table, although he was very young, he still wanted to pose like an experienced politician with a very imposing appearance,

Looking down at Ruida, the corners of his irreverent mouth twitched disdainfully, and said

"What Wikibians go south to what is in danger of the mountain pass, I think it's just your pretext, my 300,000 troops are on the front line of Parabun, and it's only 2 days away from here.

And the Wikibians only have 40,000 troops, even if they give them ten guts, they can't fight south under the attention of 300,000 troops.

You know, this is not a fight against the people of Dongting, this is a naked invasion, how can the kingdom let it go

Selepe's voice stopped, and he said in a contemptuous tone

"You are so advocating the danger of the Wikibians going south, just to increase the ration of your legion,

"The bandit group composed of 8,000 mobs, does it also want to get the same treatment as the regular legion? It's really a laugh Selepe's voice stopped, and he said in an accentuated tone, "Don't forget, you joined us when you couldn't get along in the south, and accepting such bandits is already the mercy of your lords, and in such a meeting, it will not be your turn to speak."

"300,000 troops, that's the 300,000 army that treats each other as enemies," Ruida stared at Selepe with a smug face, and had nothing to say except a wry smile in his mouth,

These nobles still think of the past, and still regard themselves as the era of the continental hegemon, he really wants to say, if the 300,000 army is really so powerful, why will it be overwhelmed by the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Dongting people? The number has long ceased to be a deterrent, and the Ruierdian army, which was known for its elite at the beginning, has now completely become a concentration camp for the exiles, and the 300,000 army that has been put together temporarily may not even be as powerful as the 60,000 people of the Wikibians in terms of combat effectiveness.

Rui Erdian is no longer the powerful kingdom that can make the continent tremble a few times with a sneeze, and now Rui Erdian has been hollowed out by war and famine, except for the remaining Southern Third Knights who are unable to move by the Roudes, the other elite legions are almost lost,

In the past, the majesty of the lion of the continent is long gone, and the threat of war and famine in the north is becoming more and more severe, which may make this stormy country become the target of the two great powers of the north and the south at any time.

Such an obvious form is known to the bandits who don't know anything, but these Ruierdian nobles are still immersed in the memories of the past and imagine their powerful posture

"It's ridiculous," Reda shook her head in extreme disappointment,

Although he was very bold, he also knew how embarrassing his situation was, especially after the Burdock faction was placed under house arrest in Kyoto, his status plummeted.

Although he got the false name of the so-called commander of the Second Army, in fact, it was just another name for the concentration camp for the nobles to facilitate the reception of refugees, and when fighting, these people were the lives of cannon fodder, and the hardest and most tiring work was always the responsibility of the Second Army."

In such a situation, he did not dare to say a lot of things, as Selepe said, he was indeed because he killed many civilians when he was a bandit in the south, and then the rebels rioted, and he, the leader of the bandits who killed like a massacre, also became the main target of the rebels, and had to join the noble army to seek refuge,...,

During the period when he joined the Southern Noble Army, except for the Marquis of Berdock, who was more open-minded and rapidly expanded his power regardless of any means, the other nobles did not treat him very well.

The hall was very quiet, only the sound of the nobles drinking water, and the bigwigs of the various legions seemed to completely ignore Ruida's existence, and after half a sound, they realized that there was no one to support their Ruida, so they hung their heads and said

"Forget it, gentlemen, let's do it for yourself. I don't dare to hope that there is anything else to do, the fact is that in front of the Wechian army going south, even the Dongting people have also been defeated, not to mention us, it would be good for you to protect yourself.

Alas, it's really terrifying, I heard that the Vekia Falcon led a team of rebels to the point where it is today, and I, Ruida, really have nothing to say except admiration. I've heard that many of the Vekia troops are mountain hunters, so it's a big deal that I'll surrender directly."

"Coward, I just say that bandits without integrity are unreliable, and the strength of my Ruierdian depends on us noble elites......" The unforgiving adjutant Selepe glared at Ruida with disdain,

This is the aristocracy, for his own selfish interests, he can completely ignore the overall situation, just when he still wants to continue, ready to use a righteous and awe-inspiring performance to denounce the villain, to win the bright smile of the Marquise of Birhamming opposite,

A middle-aged nobleman at the top of him waved to stop

"That's enough, Selepe, although the other party is really not very brave, but it is still loyal to us, let's raise an obedient dog that can bite people, if the Wikibians go south, we will bear the brunt of this is not wrong"

Seeing his boss speak, Selepe had to sit down happily, but his face was beaming with pride, as if he had just won a victory to boast of

He knew that many nobles had long been holding back their efforts to teach this hillbilly a lesson, and his prominent expression would undoubtedly make him add a weight in the minds of all the adults, which would have a great impact on his prestige.

The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that the Marquise of Bohanming, who was opposite the bright **, seemed to be a little absent-minded, with a pair of bright eyes like smoke and rain, but staring at the brown old table in front of him in a daze, if his heroic appearance just now fell into the eyes of this beautiful lady, what a beautiful thing it would be

Ruida sat in the seat, her face flickered red and white, and her vicious eyes seemed to be about to turn the Celepe file on the opposite side to ashes, and she couldn't relieve the hatred in her heart.

This middle-aged man's face is very suitable to be called bravery, a pair of deep eyes seem to be flowing when looking at a certain target, the bridge of the nose is straight, almost level with the forehead, giving people a classical sculpture-like beauty, and the thick eyelashes add a warm appeal to his gaze,

In the face of this middle-aged man, Ruida's face became a little ugly, and he didn't even have the courage to refute, he was the most powerful First Army Commander Tazar, the new leader of the noble army,

This time the reshuffle of the 80,000 aristocratic army, the second person in the aristocratic army whose reputation is second only to the previous leader, the Marquis of Berdock, who is responsible for staying in the base camp, has been supported by 60% of the nobles.

The Marquis of Tazar was a dignified lord, and when he was in the south, he was a great lord who was known for his cruelty.

It is said that in this southern riot*, in order to prevent the exiles from entering his territory, more than 4,000 rebels were buried alive by his own order, and in his territory, the weak old people and weak children had to be cleared and exiled to reduce the food supply, and he had 3,000 well-equipped soldiers under his command.

In terms of his toughness in dealing with the homeless, he was undoubtedly the most supported by the small lords who were deeply affected by the troubles of the homeless, and the Marquis of Berdark, who was good at unifying and reconciling resources, was placed under house arrest in Kyoto, and the hardliners represented by the Marquis of Tazar lost the power to suppress.

In the face of chaos and the pressure of the new Paravon faction to seize power, the psychology of longing for a powerful person to come forward has also become the consensus of the southern aristocratic army.

In this division, his first legion was also the largest of the four legions, with 50,000 people, and most of them were more elite noble guards and private armies, which was the most powerful legion in the southern aristocratic army

His words almost represented the attitude of the entire southern aristocratic army, and seeing him speak, the nobles who had been silent in the hall began to regain their spirits to discuss the real theme of the meeting,

"Even if we're not ready to go to war right now. But after all, our army has been concentrated, 80,000 troops, 6 cities, even if the Wikibians have great skills, it is impossible to attack us in six ways, not to mention that in front of us is the army of Kyoto, and behind us is a large area of land in the south that can be used for retreat."

A nobleman who had been in the army stood in front of a map and said eloquently

"Isn't it too early to discuss this issue now? We will never mess with the Wikibians, according to the habits of the Wikibians, it is unlikely that they will take the initiative to declare war, we actually have nothing to worry about" "Yes, this is a superfluous thing" Another nobleman said "The Wikibians have just a small number of troops, and they have just been fighting fiercely with the Dongting people for more than 3 months, unless they can fight ten at a time, otherwise, it is the Vekia Falcon that goes crazy"...... ,
