Chapter 92: Preface to the War

However, Nader's heart still could not have more than 50% confidence in this war, because according to the news he received from the scouts yesterday, the new Count of Montferrato had gathered an army of tens of thousands to garrison the border of Saluzo! ready to attack the town of Viet Dong at any time, Nader guessed, this was also the reason why Il had called this meeting.

After the scout told the intelligence officer with a shocked face, he was even considered a spy and thrown into prison, what a joke, how could an earl have such a large army, and it was a new earl, there was no such prestige and financial resources to raise such an army.

However, after more scouts brought back the same news, the nobles were completely speechless.

According to the scouts' description, the army of tens of thousands of real professional soldiers accounted for only about the same number as the current army of Il, and the rest of the people accounted for the majority of armed peasants, recruited by the new Earl Audu from his own village, without any training, and the most weapon he wielded in his life was the hoe, but what about an army of tens of thousands, even if it was a peasant?

In the face of a huge number, even their soldiers will be crushed by a huge disadvantage in numbers.

And according to the latest news from the scouts, near the camp of Count Audu, similar figures of Bohemians were seen, dressed in very simple clothes, with sharp steel knives in their hands, chopping goats in a roar, pulling out their internal organs and chewing wildly, even Ordu's army did not dare to get too close, which obviously made the gentlemen present creepy.

Although the Kingdom of Bohemia has become a Christian country and formed a stable government, it has only been a hundred years since the country was subordinated to the Holy Roman Empire, and compared to other countries, it is much more barbaric and primitive, and because of the barrenness of the land and the poverty of the people, a large number of bandit tribes have been formed, and they have hired other lords in exchange for money to make their tribes stronger and survive in this land.

And because of their poverty, they will carry everything they can see as much as possible during the war, and there will often be very unpleasant things such as cannibalism and plundering, and now the fertile fields in front of the town of Yuedong have become uninhabited for thousands of miles, and these bohemians have made great efforts.

Obviously, Count Audu had made a fortune to recruit a Bohemian army in Bohemia.

The crowd began to gather around the round table, and the empty seats began to sit on top of his master, and after 15 minutes of Jung's thoughts, a voice at the door of the church made his voice heard by the whole church in an extremely passionate state.

"Lord Saruzzo, leader of the House of Alramich, Orderer of Christendom, pioneer of civilization, Lord Il Alramich to !!"

After a long list of personal introductions, Jung and the others all stood up, and formed two rows under the steps in front of the round table, with the front door as the direction, the nobles and lords were neatly arranged from large to small according to the size of the title, Jung and the other five viscounts were at the end of the line, that is, the position closest to the round table, lined up in a straight line, and the low-ranking nobles followed the width boundary line of the five lords, extending downward, in order to express the dignity of their five viscounts, and also so that the Earl of Il could see these five of his most important companions as soon as he entered the door。

Soon, after the Earl of Il had finished pronouncing his name, a young man dressed in a black leather coat, trousers made of black linen on his legs, a silver cross on his left chest, a belt around his waist with no sword hanging from his waist, and a golden crown on his head, came in, and with his countenance, in an instant he took the attention of everyone in the room.

As a result, no one noticed the five viscounts who followed Earl in the back, so they could only touch their noses in embarrassment, and then casually followed Earl's footsteps towards the round table where Jung and the others were, as if they were afraid that others would find out that they were nobles.

The staff at the front door fell to their knees, waiting without a sound for Il to pass in front of them, while the nobles put their right hand on their chest, one foot slightly bent, and showed their respect to the supreme sanctioner of their territory, and the crowd bent down like a stream of water, until Jung stopped.

They were viscounts, and they didn't need to bow to Eir, especially when Eir needed them.

Ilr walked in front of Jung and the others, nodded after accepting the salute of the five viscounts, and then shook hands with the viscounts, once to express his gratitude to these superior nobles for supporting him, however, when holding Jung's hand, Yir smiled inadvertently, he still felt a little miserable about the use of Jung the day before yesterday.

After everyone saluted, they sat back in their positions, and they came here today to judge whether their commanders here have the ability to lead these nobles to victory, not to greet and climb relations, so after the Earl of Il took his seat, the gentlemen all took their seats and watched what the Earl was about to say to them.

"Gentlemen, I am sorry to meet you now, but please understand that I am saddened by his death as the nephew of the Count of Montferrato, and all the more so by the harm done to me by his child, my brother, after the death of my uncle, who has prevented me from leading an army to exterminate the mob that has mutilated my people. β€œ

"What a lie. Nader looked at Il with a sad face telling his feelings for the Count of Montferrato and his uncle Oduno, so that some of the soft-hearted people in the crowd were already filled with righteous indignation, and those who had a little brain looked at their lord with admiration.

What a good acting, look at these old men have already felt the sadness of Eir, if those civilians see their master like this, can they not die for it? In just a few words, many neutrals present turned to their side, and with this skill alone, Nader's evaluation of Eir has improved a lot.
