Chapter 64
After Fang Chen bought all the players in the city where the Nine Wolves Guild was located, he directly purged those players again, wiped out all the cadres of the Nine Wolf Guild, and then controlled all the players in that city.
With Fang Chen's help, the rest of the guilds also controlled the players in their cities and trained those players.
Twenty days later, the Grand Duke of Dominque announced that he would command an army of 400,000 soldiers and fight against the royal family in two ways. One of them had an army of 300,000, with Grand Duke Dominque himself as the commander of the army, and the other 100,000 troops with Baron Bolev as the commander of the army. Fang Chen was assigned to Baron Bolev.
Although Grand Duke Domingue claimed to command an army of 400,000 under his command, Fang Chen privately calculated that the number of aristocratic coalition troops under Grand Duke Domingue was only about 100,000, half of which were players, and among the remaining 50,000, there were about 30,000 peasants, and the elite troops that could be called professional soldiers were only 20,000.
The main army commanded by Grand Duke Dominque took away 15,000 elite troops, while under Baron Bolev there were only 5,000 elite troops.
Fang Chen had more than 3,000 soldiers under his command, and although most of them were players, they were already considered a major faction in Baron Bolev's camp. However, the deputy commander in Baron Bolev's camp was not him, but Count Neton.
As soon as the Grand Duke of Domingue attacked, the Grand Duke of Urensek, the Western Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Herenice, also declared war on the royal family and launched an attack on the royal family.
The Grand Duke of the North, the Grand Duke of Jason, and the Grand Duke of the East, the Grand Duke of Rondo, joined the royal camp and declared war on the Grand Duke of Dominque and the Grand Duke of Urenseco.
The Marquis of Roton, the head of the eighteen marquis of the kingdom, also joined the camp of the Grand Duke of Domingue and launched an attack on the royal family. Some of the eighteen marquis were neutral, some joined the royal family, and some joined the camp of the Grand Duke of Dominc, and the whole kingdom was plunged into war.
As soon as the Southern Noble Coalition under the command of the Grand Duke of Domingue fought with the Central Noble Alliance, the hastily formed forces of the Central Noble Coalition were defeated.
As Grand Duke Dominque said, the southern nobles have been fighting with the monsters in the Black Spirit Mountains all year round, and they have many elites under their command. Most of the central aristocracy is pampered and far richer than the southern aristocracy, but their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the southern aristocracy.
After a series of defeats of the central nobles, the royal family sent the famous general of the kingdom, Viscount Dallock, to lead the army.
After Viscount Darlock set out on the expedition, he directly gathered heavy troops to defend the three major fortresses of Lokas, Chicania, and Rocabet.
When the army of the Grand Duke of Domingue attacked the fortress of Lokas, he was forced to stop and confront Viscount Darlock.
The strength of the army sent by the royal family and the central aristocracy was not comparable to that of the Grand Duke of Dominc. However, if the Grand Duke of Dominque stormed the fortress of Locas, he might not be able to take it.
The armies of the two sides face off against each other, and then engage in various skirmishes, attritioning each other while looking for fighters.
The other army under the command of Baron Bolev was indeed at first overwhelming, capturing a dozen castles and capturing a large amount of booty.
However, Baron Bolev was jealous of Fang Chen, so he did not send Fang Chen to participate in the battle, but mobilized the nobles close to him to attack those castles. Although they captured a large amount of booty and won a lot of exploits, their elite troops also suffered heavy casualties.
Fang Chen didn't care either, he just analyzed the trend of the war according to the experience of his previous life, according to the map and the information obtained.
The Grand Duke of Domingue's division of forces was not problematic from a strategic point of view, after all, as long as the royal family held the fortress of Lokas, it would be difficult for him to attack the core of the royal family.
Grand Duke Domingue took the initiative to contain the main force of the royal family, as long as Baron Bolev's army could conquer the nobles on the road, he would be able to obtain a large amount of wealth, grain and grass, and troops.
Grand Duke Domingue didn't have to defeat Viscount Dallock, as long as he put enough pressure on those central nobles, those central nobles would naturally put pressure on the royal family to abdicate Rani VI and replace him with a king.
Although the Grand Duke of the North, Grand Duke Jason, and the Grand Duke of the East, Grand Duke Rondo, announced that they would join the royal camp, they were not willing to send a large army to fight against the Grand Duke of Domingue without enough benefits.
The Grand Duke of Urensek was also attacking from the west to plunder the royal family and the central nobility. As long as the Grand Duke of Dominque holds on undefeated for a period of time, there is a good chance that the central nobility and royal family of the Kingdom of Hrenis will compromise.
Inside a large camp.
Count Nieton said slowly: "Baron Bolev, these days, our soldiers have killed and wounded five hundred people!" It can't go on like this, Baron Caesar must be brought into the fight! ”
Baron Bolev's elite soldiers numbered only 5,000, and 500 dead and wounded was equivalent to a loss of one-tenth of his troops.
The medical conditions in this world are very poor, and Baron Bolev has only two military doctors under his command, who are responsible for taking care of the major nobles. Those who were lightly wounded could only heal on their own, and those who were seriously injured could only wait for death, basically losing their ability to fight.
A trace of gloom flashed in Baron Bolev's eyes, and he said slowly: "I know! Go, send someone to bring Baron Caesar!" ”
Fang Chen soon came to the camp.
Baron Bolev said with a little arrogance: "Baron Caesar, please take the Barony of Luxter within three days." ”
Fang Chen smiled confidently and said, "No problem!" In three days, I will definitely take the Barony of Luxter! ”
The next day, Fang Chen led his troops to directly surround the castle where Baron Luxter was located.
Baron Luxter was a powerful man in the kingdom of Hrenis, and although he was only a baron, he was a good man and made a fortune by doing business as an agent.
The castle where Baron Luxter lived was ten meters high and surrounded by a moat three meters wide. The walls were patrolled by well-equipped soldiers.
"Truckite! Can it be kept? ”
Baron Luxter stood on the city wall, looked at the soldiers around him with a gloomy face, and slowly asked the knight commander Callian beside him.
The B-level [knight] Khajint, who was two meters tall, covered in muscles, and wearing a set of knight's heavy armor, also said with a solemn face: "Five days! I'm sure I'll hold it for five days! ”
Baron Luxter breathed a sigh of relief: "Five days!" I have received information that His Majesty has sent a large army to destroy this rebel army. Count the time, they should have arrived! ”
If he hadn't known that the royal family had sent a large army to suppress the rebels, Baron Luxter would have considered surrendering to the Grand Duke of Domingue at this time.
