The flare disappeared under the ruins, and Arlo couldn't help but mutter, "They may have formed a musket team, this is tricky!" ”

Fang Mo stood on the guard tower and said with a smile: "I'll leave these to you."

Jim smiled wryly and said, "These are difficult to deal with, they have a soft spot for pirate culture, and Blackbeard must have a special way to keep them at bay." ”

Fang Mo nodded and said, "Then lock it up first, no one can run!" ”

Jim replied, "These people are a lot of food!" ”

Fang Mo smiled: "Do you really think that we will stay here for a year, besides, the captives can only be half full!" If we develop here, we don't know. ”

Pedal! ——

Quill quickly climbed the guard tower and whispered, "There seem to be people from Chapra behind the town." ”

Fang Mo nodded slightly, falling into deep thought.

From Dort's point of view, his reasons for doing this are not sufficient, he spends his military salary and oppresses his own people, is he just trying to convey benefits to Blackbeard? Wouldn't it be better to send it straight over? m.

He now thinks that Dort is not that stupid, and that it is most likely Chapra who has the problem.

Fang Mo didn't want to think about it so much, his task now was to strengthen his team as soon as possible.

The next day, Chapra's order was sent to Il, and Rawls's knights were incorporated into the advance team of the town of Milan and were attached to the Second Army.

Jim frowned when he saw the transfer, "The people are transferred, and the food is still there, which is really insidious." ”

Fang Mo smiled: "There is a big problem with Chapra, is there any news from the people you sent out?" ”

Jim said: "Of the twenty strongholds occupied by Blackbeard, several have retreated, and the others have been withdrawn to varying degrees. ”

"They don't just want food, they want people!" Fang Mo frowned.

"Why haven't you seen Lord Borås these days?" Jim asked, surprised.

Fang Mo smiled: "Eggs can't be put in one basket, Dort may be fine with himself, but Chapra is definitely not a small problem, Jim!" Let's start a backup plan! ”

"Good! I'll arrange this," Jim quickly jumped off the guard tower and personally galloped out of town with a team of knights.

Fang Mo carefully studied the composition of the second army, all of them were paddling knights, and some of the knight commanders were godsons, it can be said that they were all outcasts, not that these little lords were afraid of Blackbeard, but that they had no confidence in Dort, from their own personal experience, Chapra was indeed too much, as if his purpose was to bring down Dort,

What is even more coincidental is that Volt did not return from a long journey.

That's not right, Dort also has seven sons and three daughters under his knees, and the side branches are luxuriant, which is also the most fundamental reason why he became a great lord, and the family has a large population.

At ten points in the evening, the commander of the Second Army, Asella, came to the town of Il, with thirty regimental commanders.

The so-called Second Army was actually put together temporarily, and Commander Asela also had a headache, he came from a declining nobleman and had no son under his knees, so he came in person, and was appointed as the commander because of his age and seniority.

But he knew that none of these little lords obeyed him.

Merck was one of them, rolling her eyes at him along the way, and after gathering in Iltown, Asella simply walked up to Merck and said, "The commander gives it to you!" How is it? ”

Merck sneered: "I don't want to be a military commander, I just don't like you." ”

"Quill! Arrange the regimental commanders in the main conference hall, leave Commander Asela alone in the reception room, and you have thirty fast horses ready, and everything will go according to plan. ”

Fang Mo finally gave another order, and the main hall of the conference was directly fenced off, while Jim swept away the secret whistles set up by Chapra and Blackbeard on the periphery.

"Kuka! What do you want? ”

Asella stared at Fang Mo and asked solemnly, because Fang Mo's series of actions did not hide from this nominal military commander.

"I want you to be a military commander for real! We're all outcasts, aren't we? I see that Your Excellency has also experienced many ups and downs, so I don't know my true intentions. ”

Asella smiled: "You want to rebel against Chapra, we can't do it at all, they have four thousand elite knights, and we small lords from outside the city add up to only 1,800 people!" The local Order of Lords numbered about 3,500 people, and even if they were allies, they would not be able to fight against Chapra. ”

Fang Mo nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, of the 4,000 elites, half of them are three-star knights, and the rest are all two-star." It's really hard to deal with. But how do you know if you don't try, besides, the Knights of Chapra may not be monolithic. ”

Asella's face froze: "If you really want to take risks, I can support you, but it is difficult for others to say." ”

Fang Mo said with a smile: "You are the commander of the army, and you have the right to kill and kill." ”

"How did I not know? It's impossible, they all have all kinds of self-respecting troops, and I only brought 200 people myself, and I can't take them alive or dead. Asella directly refused.

Fang Mo said solemnly: "I said that if there is, you will have it!" Who do you want to kill? ”

Asella said without hesitation: "Merck, he is from Chapra. ”

Fang Mo smiled lightly and said, "Someone." ”

Harlan walked in menacingly, causing Arcela's face to change suddenly.

"Kuka-sama! What are the commands? ”

"The commander has an order, Merck deserves to die! Decapitate now! ”

Fang Mo stared at Asella and said very decisively.

Harun touched his chest with his right hand, bowed to Fang Mo and saluted, "Obey!"

A few minutes later, there was a shouting and scolding in the square in front of the town.

Burst! ——

The remaining 29 knights in the conference hall looked shocked at the same time, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do for a while.

Fang Mo smiled and said, "Commander, let's give orders, we need everyone to gather in one place." ”

Axel did not hesitate to issue an official order, but it required the signature of the Knight Commander, and if the Commander was unable to be present in person, the Knight Badge was required instead.

Fang Mo walked into the conference hall with the order, glanced at the audience and said with a smile: "Everyone, sign and hand over the knight's badge." ”

Harlan sent the orders down one by one, and then took the small box and began to collect the badges.

A few of them didn't seem convinced, but with the experience of Merck, no one dared to act rashly, and at this moment, the periphery of the main hall of the conference was already full of elite knights, as well as heavy crossbowmen, and musket teams!

These knights all know that even if they are combined, they may not be the opponents of the Knights of Boros, they were afraid of Blackbeard and Chapra before they came, but now it is the Knights of Boros who are the first to attack, and this Lord Kuka in front of him does not seem to have any aristocratic background, but he can cover the sky in the Knights of Boros, presumably with ruthlessness to do this.

An hour later, the "Meeting of the Order" came to a successful conclusion.

The upper layer of light ruins, the eastern sky is gradually whitening.

Fang Mo also invited Commander Asella to the conference room and said, "I see it's still early, let's have a drink together!" ”

By noon, the town of Whittier.

Chapra was pacing back and forth at the military command post.

"Lord Chapra, the town of Il-is under martial law, and our herald's messenger has already entered, but the Second Army is inexplicably in Il." The deputy of the regiment, Wu Ladong, reported.

Chapra laughed: "A rabble, the warrant has been served, it's up to them to do it!" What's going on with Kailas and Tokara? ”

Uladon replied: "There are also contacts with the town of Il, and at the moment it seems that it is only a business connection. ”

Chapra frowned and said, "It seems that we have a thorn in the war zone, and Bross is afraid that he has not seen the Iron Knights of my Grand Master Chapra." ”

Chapra's sense of smell is still very sensitive, and he already has a very bad premonition about the unusual behavior of Ilzhen, and he must act quickly to stifle their thoughts, otherwise there will be a very bad chain reaction.

Actually, Fang Mo's guess was right, there was nothing wrong with Lord Dort, but Chapra was in collusion with Blackbeard.

Lord Dort had already noticed it, but Tudor, the capital of southern Xinjiang, which was tens of millions of kilometers away, was very likely to fall into the hands of this henchman if he hadn't made other arrangements for the clan before leaving.

Dort now had to keep his family entrenched, and the return from Tudor would take at least two months, requiring him to cross Tudor's Black Marsh Protectorate in an old-fashioned steam ship, and then ride in a faster carriage, after more than a dozen transfers, before finally reaching his territory.

Chapra also feels that his time is running out, and the reason why he is procrastinating is because he has not finally negotiated with Blackbeard to divide the spoils.

Sure enough, as Fang Mo expected, Dort's elite knights, he has not yet fully controlled them, ten regimental deputies, he only got five, and organizationally, they don't have to obey Chapra's orders, if it is not to protect Dort's interests, they can refuse to fight, and the five people who have been dealt with are also because of the negotiation of sharing the spoils, so they are in the same stream with Chapra.

Now Whittier's food arsenal is almost empty.

Chapra is still one step away from his pirate dreams, but Blackbeard is very stingy, and Dort's henchman, the real power man who commands 4,000 elite knights, has only arranged a first mate, and it is not the flagship kind.

Originally, he wanted to wash out another 2 million gold coins of military salary through the Knights of Bross, but he didn't expect Fang Mo to play cards according to the routine, and he was well-informed, so he directly smashed Tokara with a big list.

It only took Fang Mo a few days to squander the huge amount of military salary.

Regarding Fang Mo's ability to lose, Chapra also sighed to himself.

As soon as the supplies arrived at Il, Blackbeard smelled it, but Chapra was not very cooperative.

Therefore, Fang Mo's "unfriendly" behavior towards the pirate brothers was acquiesced, and after the second temptation, the 200 pirates were wiped out again.

Blackbeard finds Chapra again, but at the moment the melee zone is a bit out of control.

Chapra wasn't sure at the moment whether the Knights of Bross would comply with the order, and if they refused to do so, then Blackbeard's value would be discounted.

In fact, the little lords in the melee area can see clearly, at least Chapra can't do it, and everyone will have a faint feeling about his cooperation with Blackbeard, but they don't dare to be sure, even if they do, they don't dare to make any moves, because he still has a powerful knight order in his hand.

Charliela can work with Blackbeard, why can't they, the most important thing is that they don't have enough soldiers and food, and they lack a person to raise their arms.

After the first military meeting in the town of Il, the "friends" from the field united, and Bross directly refused Chapra's order, which was a landmark event, and if not handled well, a large part of Dort's northern territory would be dug up.

Among the local minor lords, Kailas and Tokara are two representative figures, and they are the fiercest in the battle against Blackbeard.

There are large mines in Kailas's territory, which are vital interests and cannot be abandoned.

Tokara's territory is the only fertile farmland in the coastal area, and he can't give it up, as the so-called mines and grains, and the farmers in the territory are very supportive of them.

The most important thing is that these two lords don't know Chapra at all, if it wasn't profitable to kidnap Bulos last time, it would be impossible for him to act, and after Fang Mo's order arrived, he directly and secretly sent Bulos over.

Therefore, Chapra's only option is to use troops to destroy the Borås Legion in order to regain his prestige.

If he can't get rid of the thorn in the head, he will lose everything he has earned so hard.

After Dort arrives in the territory, he will definitely be cleansed, but now that the climate has become good, he can only endure it for the time being.

Blackbeard will also completely question his abilities, and in the end, he may not even be able to mix with the first mate, and the local lords will definitely not tolerate him.

Everything depends on this battle.

Some people died, but not completely......
