Chapter 203: Open up the whole line

"Yes, Jonas, there are a total of 12 knights with territories in the Karst Territory, all of whom are in Karst's team this time, of course, if Mr. Count Karst still has knights in private, it is not easy to say. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Dididora's words are very affirmative, obviously he really has first-hand information and can only say so firmly in front of Jonas after repeated verification, and the second half of the sentence is obviously a joke, after all, no knight would be willing to serve a nobleman who is not willing to give him a territory (Doron squints, am I not?).

β€œ

"So is he really going to break with Duke Ahmed? ”

"Based on Karst's current behavior, I think your guess should be accurate, my lord. Dididora said respectfully.

Hearing Dididora's affirmative reply, Jonas also determined that this time Karst went to definitely not ask for help, which made Jonas sigh for Karst's persistence in Maghdad, although he didn't understand it now, how could Karst get out of this way? To surprise attack a duke with three counties with one-third of the earl's territory is purely looking for death, if it is so simple, Karst's decision is stupid.

But Jonas himself thought from the perspective of the Count of Karst, and he didn't understand what Karst was going to do, it was impossible for Karst to really compensate the entire family for the sake of Marghda, right? Not to mention whether Karst dared or not, it was impossible for his family members to agree, even if his family members and distant relatives agreed to Karst doing this, then his vassals would never follow such a crazy lord, which made Jonas puzzled.

"But, Dididora, I have a question, how did he determine that Duke Ahmed was his enemy?"

"My lord, I don't know this very well, but according to rumors among the people of the Karst realm, Karst's daughter has been dissatisfied with this marriage since she was engaged to the second son of the Duke of Amed, that is, the second in line to the throne of the Duchy of Savoy, but it was only because of the compulsion of her father Karst that she had to endure the humiliation and agree, and there are still rumors among the folklore that when the Count sent his men to Marghada, the arrows all over the ground had the family crest of the Duke of Savoy. β€œ

"I think these two points should be the reason why Karst judged Duke Ahmed to be the murderer. β€œ

Dedidora's conjecture may not sound very reasonable, a count judging the murderer of Marghdad on the basis of his daughter's willfulness and the fact that the ground is likely to be framed by arrows, and raising troops against him, is something that can only be done by a mentally retarded person, but if one element is added to these premises, then all of Karst's actions are reasonable.

He was deeply in love with Marghad, and that's what makes Karst crazy.

However, in Jonas's opinion, Karst still has a trace of sanity, at least he is very smart not to take all his troops out of his own territory, otherwise the consequences of Karst will definitely be ugly, and now, leaving the army in his own territory, for Karst, can not only rely on a large number of soldiers to protect his territory, but also let Duke Ahmed not doubt Karst's intentions, more importantly, after the conflict between the two of them broke out, the members of the Karst family can also launch a new person to serve as an earl, the biggest loss, that is, to hand over the title of earl, but the territory can still be keptIn this way, what Karst has done does not seem crazy, but seems to be as he wished.

As he wished for love.

"Well, that's really, great love. β€œ

Although Jonas can figure out the logic of Karst, but in the face of such a reality, Jonas really doesn't know how to evaluate this kind of love, and can't help laughing at himself, maybe he is not qualified to evaluate this kind of love at all.

"Is there anything else you can say about Karst? for example, his strategy, the direction of his march. Is there any news on the transfer of personnel in his current territory?"

Jonas did not comment on Karst's approach, what he has to do now is not to gossip about others, but how to seize this opportunity to expand his power even more, instead of watching from the sidelines, and waiting until the final time when the country arrives, it is really empty.

Therefore, for Karst's operation, Jonas naturally pays special attention, he needs to know the specific plan of Karst, only in this way can he judge how many possibilities Karst's plan has, and he must also arrange the next action according to the possibility of this plan, although Jonas also knows that this is Karst's battle to the death, and the intelligence is absolutely strict and tight, but Jonas still wants to understand as much as possible, even if it is just some leftovers, it is also important information for Jonas.

"Sorry, my lord, there is no other news yet, there has been no news of Karst since they got into the Alps, and there is no news of the spies buried in Savoy by the Doron steward, they seem to have disappeared. β€œ

Dididora glanced back at Doron, turned his head to Jonas and said helplessly, how could they not know how much the Karst's actions would bring to the situation in Piedmont? But the Alpine Mountains are too long, even if 100,000 people are thrown into it, they will disappear into the vast mountains, not to mention that there are only a few dozen people around Karst, and it is really difficult to get their whereabouts.

"Into the Alps? Is this really ..... does he think he's Hannibal? Well, there's really nothing he can do, so keep it as it is, Doron, and let your people pay attention to the proximity of the Alps to the primeval forests of the Savoy generation, and do their best. β€œ

Hannibal, a military commander born in a city-state called Carthage in North Africa around the third century BC, led his army during his tenure as commander of the Carthaginian army, and successfully crossed the Spanish Pyrenees and the Italian Alps with tenacious perseverance, saving Carthage, an ancient civilization, from the Roman Republic.

In addition to his extraordinary strategic acumen, the reason why he was so highly rated was that he was one of the few heroes in the historical records who flipped through the Alps, which is why Hannibal is admired.

The Alps of this world are different from the Alps of Jonas's world, and the expansion of the land has also made this huge mountain range that already spanned dozens of countries even bigger, opening and closing, stretching for thousands of miles, including basins, depressions, hills, and even hundreds of large lakes, small lakes and streams are countless, so to speak, entering the Alps is entering a completely strange world, where there are few people and there are many rumors.

Therefore, after hearing the news that Karst entered the Alps, Jonas quickly gave up his attachment to the news, and in that world without maps, it is not easy to come out alive, and as for what Karst can do, Jonas can only look forward to it, and take one step at a time.

"Dididora, put this matter aside for the time being, I want to know now, where is the Earl of Il's army marching?"

What happened on the Karst side, although it was sudden for Jonas, there was still room for buffer, after all, it would be a long way from the Alps to Amed's court, it would be really difficult, so although Jonas was vigilant, there was still time to adjust, and the matter on Il's side couldn't wait.

Four days ago, Bigg, who was sent by Jonas to contact Jung and Il, finally sent a reply, and the content of it also made Jonas feel a lot more settled, Jung needless to say, as his father, immediately after receiving the letter, he mobilized the territory and mobilized all the troops in Jung's territory that he could control, relying on the heritage of the thousand-year-old family, in just three days, he mobilized a thousand armed soldiers with combat experience, which gave Jonas unparalleled confidence, sure enough, it is different to have a big family to be a father。

And Il, after receiving the letter, immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Jonas, in which Ilr first said some words of encouragement, let Jonas be left and right, be patient for the time being, don't over-consume strength, to preserve strength, procrastination, anyway, it is to talk about a lot of things that are okay if you don't talk about it, and then the lords of the west of Saluzo will be mobilized to gather, and the total strength will be about 2000.

In the letter, Il also made an explanation of why there were only 2,000 soldiers, the reason was nothing more than that Monferrato now needed a strong force to defend it, and he couldn't spare his own headquarters to help Jonas, and he himself felt very sorry Yunyun, so that Jonas didn't mind, and would also give Jonas a special force of 30 people, give Jonas full jurisdiction, let him use it flexibly, wait for the opportunity, and finally gave him a right that was the only benefit, that is, the commander-in-chief of this force of 3,000 people was him, and there was no other aid。

In this regard, Jonas can only be helpless, who can't find anything wrong with what Il's said, and these two thousand people plus his father's 1,000 people, and his own cobbled together a total of about 4,000 troops, which is enough to support Il's arrival, so Jonas agreed to Il's order without a word.

And now, two days have passed, Jung's troops have been in place, and the other lords because the troops are too messy, although these private weapons are quite well-equipped, but they have always been trained in a small group of ten people and a team of fifty people during training, and this time they were thrown into a large army of 2,000 people, but they really couldn't find the north, until yesterday, it was a full two days without any situation reported to Jonas to know, which made Jonas ask Dididora about it。

"My lord, the soldiers of the Earl of Il have arrived at the border between Saluzo and Piedmont this morning, waiting for your orders. ”

Dedidora heard Jonas's question and quickly answered it, the importance of this news, Dedidora also knew, if Jonas didn't ask, he would have said it, so he kept it in mind and waited to find an opportunity to tell Jonas, and now that Jonas took the initiative to ask, Dedidora naturally told Jonas about the current situation.

"Whew, that's good, who's the current commander?"

Although Jonas is the commander-in-chief, this force of 3,000 people is a little far away from him, and it is a little difficult to control it in the air, and he still needs a commander to command to ensure that there are no mistakes on the march, at least there can be fewer mistakes, and Jonas in order to prevent Il from doubting his intentions after the war, so he handed over the choice of this commander to Il, so he will now ask the seemingly stupid question of who his subordinates are in Dididora's office.

"It's your father, my lord. ”

"My father!?is this the one chosen by the Earl of Il?"

Jonas didn't expect that Earl Il would choose his father as his deputy to command this distant army for him, but after thinking about it, he understood Ear's good intentions, and he was letting himself relax and not be suspicious of each other.

In this regard, Jonas is naturally happy to see it, being on the front line, fighting brothers, and going into battle is naturally inevitable for father and son soldiers, Jonas naturally intends to do this, but it is because of Il's suspicion that he did not say it explicitly, and now Il's direct help to do things for himself, and he also bears the notoriety of nepotism for himself, which is of course very good for Jonas.

"Yes, my lord, your father is waiting for your orders. ”

"Hey, Dididora, you really can't speak, and if my dad hears that, he'll kill me. Jonas had already planned to let Jung take action, but looking at the serious Dididora and the somewhat tired Doron, he knew that they were indeed tired enough during this time, so he made a temporary decision and made a little joke.

"Hehehehehe....." Dididora laughed in response, perhaps he also felt that he was under too much pressure, so this not funny joke made Didido laugh until it was a long time later.

"Dididora, pick out my best riders, and go to my father with my orders, and tell him to lead his army, and from the moment he receives the order, march on my territory at once, absorbing all the forces along the way, the subservants, and destroying them!" (To be continued.) )
