After some conversations, Vincennes got closer to the head of the group, Gustav, and decided on something that could be quickly started.

At present, only half of the mercenaries are assisting the guards, and the rest are temporarily fine.

Both Vincennes and Gustav were well aware that a soldier could not be idle, and it was better to be able to perform some tasks.

Plateau mercenaries are already poor, and if there is an opportunity to make money, no one will object.

So Vincent took out a map and circled a number of locations on it, which were villages that had not yet sworn allegiance and were still rebelling.

The army for counterinsurgency could not be too small, and Vincent's main army had to guard against the Herodian cross-border sneak attack on the one hand, and on the other hand, it had to guard tens of thousands of prisoners, and there were really not enough people to quell the rebellion.

There was also the problem that Vincent's generals were too few who could command counterinsurgency battles.

It is not suitable for counterinsurgency, it does not mean that the skeletons and monsters of the demon clan cannot fight, but quelling the rebellion is not to kill them all, this group of emotionless and even very bloodthirsty guys is not led by the right person, and it will only result in chickens and dogs.

Vincent first wants to save people's lives, and more importantly, to win people's hearts, this kind of thing must at least be done by the human race, and even the lich who has wisdom but a completely demonic mind can't do it.

Autumn is coming, the grain is ready to be harvested and harvested, and Vincent will not allow the harvest to be harmed by the *** that would only make the Herodes laugh and leave the seeds of next year's rebellion.

While keeping their food, the Herodians' crops burned in the fields, and Vincent said that griffons were truly sinful creatures, and that he had no idea about them.

Among his subordinates, Sadaka is not a human race, and he has strength and intelligence, but it is difficult for orcs to win people's trust, and Vincent thinks that he is better suited to guard the important stronghold of Sweetwater Village, and he currently gets along well with Ninia's father.

Although Schiff is a Terran, the reputation of the Skawa is too bad, and they are often regarded as lawless horse thieves, and the lack of cavalry makes it unsuitable to lead troops on their behalf to quell the rebellion for the time being.

La Nina is smart and studious, but the identity of this eldest lady is a Herodian nobleman after all, even if she is heartbroken by the scumbag prince now, Vincent will not rest assured that she will go to quell the rebellion, it is better to leave it for herself to rub parts.

As for the little witch Prani, not only does she not want to know how to fight, but she is too busy to treat the wounded every day, it is impossible to carry out such a task, and by the way, she has recently been revered by the captives as a holy witch who saves the wounded.

Of course, there were also people whose loyalty was unquestionable, and who volunteered to put down the rebellion, but Vincent flatly refused.

If the jade-faced little devil Saide is allowed to lead the troops over, I'm afraid that the people inside will play adult centipede for him.

Thinking about it and picking and choosing, Vincent's gaze still fell on Ninia on the side.

Just this guy still looks like a man who can do things, has empathy and understanding for the rebellious peasants who are hungry and cold, and can also show up to appease people's hearts, after all, the idol cultivation in the city is not practiced in vain.

Some time ago, Ninia also led the troops to fight a few times, although there was no danger, but at least she also escaped and accumulated some experience. ….

Now, as long as she doesn't encounter an opponent who is too perverted, Ninia can easily cut from the head of the village to the end of the village with the magic sword shining alone.

However, compared to a real war expert, Ninia is just a young girl, and there are too many things to learn, so it is best to let the old bird on the battlefield take it with her when she has the conditions and give it a ride.

Gustav, the Grand Master of the Mercenary Regiment, who had been fighting since he was a teenager, happened to be more free recently, so Vincent asked him to instruct his men.

At the same time, the mercenaries that can be made can just take the place of Vincent's skeletons to go to the countryside to quell the rebellion - the highland mercenaries are all long-legged and strong, and the march is much faster than the slow skeletons.

The combat effectiveness of the highlander mercenaries was used against the armed peasants in the countryside, and Vincent was not worried at all, his only consideration was the issue of military discipline.

Although Gustav patted his chest and said that he would restrain his men and not destroy the raids, Vincent would not take it lightly, and his request was that the mercenaries only cooperate in the battle, or replace the troops when the territory is insufficient

, the remuneration shall be deducted for excessive losses.

If acting alone, the mercenary is only responsible for military operations, does not interfere with local appointments, dismissals, punishments, or the distribution of spoils, and the territory occupied is received by the territorial army.

If the problems on the border are not solved, Vincent will not be able to return with confidence, and he will not be able to find the time to go to other directions to quell the rebellion, so it is easier to let the mercenaries do the work for him.

Especially after Xia De's resignation, even if a few bone dragons were left to guard, Vincent's pressure still increased a lot.

Intending to test the mercenary counterinsurgency, Vincent asked Ninia and the riding lich and necromancer to follow the highland mercenaries on her behalf, following the highland mercenaries in their crusade against the villages to the west that had not yet sworn allegiance.

You don't need to bring skeletons, you can summon them at any time when you get to the place.

It was sent out in the morning, but in the afternoon, a harpy came with the news that some villages along the route had removed their autonomous flags and re-declared their allegiance to the lord.

Of course, there are wall grasses, and there are also more iron-headed ones, but unfortunately this time they really hit the iron plate.

A village called Woods refused to pledge allegiance, and fighting broke out.

Perhaps the cultists and new believers in the village may not want to surrender, but when the others see the counterinsurgency army this time, they obviously have little confidence in victory.

There were less than a hundred militiamen in the village, and from a distance, they saw the tall mercenaries and the regimental commander who stepped on the ground like a metal golem, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly retreated to the village, not daring to fight.

However, as if he had not seen the wall, Gustav stepped forward in heavy armor, ignored the arrows and stones thrown by the other party, swaggered to the gate of the village, and pushed open the locked and heavy gate with his bare hands.

In order to show his strength, the Grand Master used a bit of force and broke the deadbolt and hinges.

Ninia, who was pressing the formation in the back, stuck out her tongue when she saw it - this kind of teaching is called guiding yourself to fight?

Can a normal person learn such an outrageous goal-attacking tactic?

Seeing that the regiment commander once again burst out of divine power, he broke through the gate alone, and the mercenaries let out a thunderous battle cry and cheers, and rushed into the village in pursuit, and the villagers who could not stop it in the future were knocked over on their backs.

After a while, the battle was over, and it was basically the rhythm of the militia being beaten and then kneeling and begging for mercy. ….

If Vincent hadn't prepared wooden sticks for all the mercenaries and didn't let them use their hammer and battle axe, at least half of the strong men in this village would have died.

War is not time-consuming, the only thing that takes time is to extinguish fires.

Due to the lack of preparation, only one of the lich can use elemental magic, and they are not proficient in water magic, so magic will not work here.

Once again, Ninia was shocked by the madness and emotionlessness of the cultists, and she could only ask the villagers and mercenaries to stop the hostility and hurry up to put out the fire.

The Freedom Cultists often threatened to light fires, and this time they did succeed.

Knowing that they would not escape death, the cultists saw that the village could not stop the army at all, so they took advantage of the chaos in the village to light the temporary altar and set fire everywhere, although they were all caught in the end, but the village still ignited a fire.

Due to the interruption of the Tianshui River, this area is also a water-scarce village, and even if the villagers and soldiers go together, there is really no water to extinguish the fire.

Later, Gustav thought of a way out of the question, and he ordered his subordinates to tear down the houses near the burning houses in advance, remove the flammable materials, and artificially create a barrier to prevent the spread of the fire.

The mercenaries played a role in the fight and rescue, and Ninia was not idle.

"I am sent by the lord to accept this place on behalf of the lord, and the lord will compensate the innocent for the loss of property, and will not let you suffer," Ninia held the lord's banner and shouted to the panicked villagers, "Trust me, I believe in the lord, the compensation can be given to you after the fire is extinguished!"

"Who is the enemy, who is spreading rumors, who is killing your relatives, you should know by now."

"The lord can reduce taxes, punish the wicked, repair your homes, and bring you a better life......

I have to say that when a pure and bright blonde beautiful girl speaks, she is hired more than the five big and three thick

Soldiers are used at the top.

When the villagers saw that the lord's envoy was so generous, they even held the gold coin bag in their hands before they spoke, so they no longer cared about the losses and let the plateau mercenaries take them around the village.

By the afternoon, the fire had been completely extinguished, and Ninia did not break her promise and paid compensation according to ten gold coins per house.

To tell the truth, the dilapidated houses in the village and the contents inside were not worth ten gold coins at all, and the people who had not been burned in their homes showed envious eyes when they saw that the unlucky ones before had made a small fortune.

Ninia also gave a portion of the money obtained by the cult to the village through fraud and took the rest away as spoils.

"Pledge allegiance to the lord, the lord will protect you and make your life better," Ninia also preached to the villagers in a decent manner, "The lord will do the same where he has been loyal, and all those who do it will end up like this group of evil people......

The girl pulled out the "Lightless Blade" and pointed at the cultist hanging from the tree, and her demeanor was the same as that of the lord when he put down the rebellion, it was exactly the same, and even the temperament was getting closer and closer.

It's just that the lord has the magic sword "Karepos Ratchet" in his hand.

Following the lord all the way, Ninia is also familiar with the process of dealing with the rebellion, she has awakened the power of the chosen one, and now she has a magic sword that can increase her strength, both confidence and ability are constantly improving. ….

Next, Ninia also sent the lich to dispose of the cult's legacy, inventory the population and property, fill in all the important information according to the form given by Vincent, and find a prestigious candidate in the village to elect one to serve as the temporary village chief.

The routine work of summoning the undead was not pulled down, and sure enough, there were many people in this village who died at the hands of cultists, and some of them were unjust souls executed by the former tax collectors and landlords, who signed a contract with the demons and worked beside the village chief as law enforcement supervisors.

In the eyes of the villagers, the spirits of the undead, who were once relatives and friends, are better than the greedy landlords and the untrustworthy cultists, and they don't mind letting the spirits roam the village as long as they can get justice.

The undead also led the army to find the property and food hidden near the village, and Ninia still gave half of it to the villagers, which really made the villagers more supportive.

Everyone praised the female knight for her young age, but rather a leader, and if the lord's men were such kind people, there was no reason why they should not be loyal.

After the rebellion was put down, the village's production could not be delayed, and Ninia told the village chief and the villagers to hurry up and harvest the grain, and soon merchants would come to trade.

Perhaps in the eyes of a seasoned politician, there are still many inconsiderate aspects of the girl's operation, but it is already commendable to be able to quickly cut through the mess in a short period of time, solve a rebellion in one place, and make a decent aftermath.

Under the self-confidence, the girl also has a bit of a leader's decisive temperament, and even the "Plateau God of War", who has read countless people, nodded in approval of her performance, praising Vincent for picking up a capable subordinate.

Winning hearts and minds and governing territory is a more difficult task for barbarians than fighting.

is obviously as well-behaved as a puppy by the lord's side, but Ninia, who came out on a mission, can be regarded as being able to take charge of herself and do some real government affairs for the lord.

As a mentor entrusted by Vincent, Gustav reminded Ninia from his own experience that counterinsurgency cannot only rely on mercy and justice, and it is also an important task to find the most heinous people and get the majority of people to take revenge.

If you don't want to get involved in local grievances, you just need to authorize the locals to deal with them themselves, and control the chaos a little within the scope of not violating the lord's principles.

Soon, Ninia asked the villagers to find out the former village tyrants and cultists' lackeys, and after letting the villagers get angry themselves, she left the people who were about to run out of gas and let them work for the villagers to atone for their sins.

There is an object to vent around, and the demons don't look so hideous and terrifying, but become cute.

"There are no products in the forest village, but the location is the most important, there are two roads in the east-west and north-south directions nearby, and the commercial and military value is very large, and the village wall can be built as a fortress."

When she returned, Ninia said earnestly

Vincent reported, Vincent squinted and listened, still a little proud in his heart.

It's finally out! If Ninia can do more serious things, she will not have to spend so much precious time on government affairs, and she can turn more ideas in her heart into toys.

"Two hundred gold coins have been handed over to Grand Master Gustav, and two hundred gold coins have been spent on special expenses, mainly to compensate the villagers for their losses, and some of them are left to buy farm tools to stabilize people's hearts, a total of four hundred gold coins have been spent, and the money found in the village is equivalent to seven hundred and eighty gold coins, and I will give one-third to the villagers......

"Oh, two hundred gold coins?" Vincent opened his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say before, the mercenaries will take down a village, and all three hundred will be included?"

"Commander Gustav explained that the battle was too easy, and all of them were safe and sound, without any losses, so they shouldn't take so much money." Ninia reported truthfully, "It's rare to see such an honest mercenary."

In other places, the nobles also like to use mercenaries to deal with rebellions, and use looting as a reward for messenger mercenaries, which makes a mess.

I don't know if this is Gustav showing himself to be reliable, or if they have always been.

"It's really rare, so give them the promised hundred gold coins." Vincent instructed Ninia, "I'm not the one to sell my credit for a hundred gold coins, what do you say?"

"I know, Lord Lord, is the most trustworthy." Ninia turned her pretty face and replied with a grin, "So even if others don't believe me, I will still believe my lord."

Well? Vincent's eyes widened slightly, and he let out a sigh of relief as he looked at her quietly departing back with a stranger's eyes.

How do you feel like this guy is starting to be feminine today?.
