Chapter 80: The Overwatch Alliance
In the city of Monserun, the atmosphere in the city has been very depressing in recent days.
The inhabitants of the city were cautious for fear of angering the new lord.
It is said that this lord has not been in a good mood for the past two days.
Moore was very unhappy, it was a joyful thing to win a large territory at once, but the next development of things made Moore's good mood disappear most of it.
First of all, the problem of corruption and robbery of people's daughters by his soldiers made Moore can't help but be furious.
This is his territory, and in the future, his basic territory is not the enemy's territory, how can he do such a thing.
Mohr dragged his wounded body to heal, cut a few soldiers and whipped a few knights, and then let the soldiers be honest.
As soon as this problem was solved, a group of people in the family began to come together one by one with bad intentions, obviously wanting a piece of the pie.
Although Mohr was very uncomfortable, because everything in front of him came from the support of the family, he could only pinch his nose and seal a bunch of knights out.
However, the people of the family, after getting the benefits, are all honest and obedient, and there is a faint intention to support him to become the patriarch of the next generation of the family, which makes Moore a little more comfortable.
It's just that when he heard that Count Marcus had gathered his army and was preparing for a counterattack, Moore couldn't sit still in an instant.
Just kidding, although Moore's family is also considered to be the strongest among the barons of Trois-Rivières, it is not so easy to deal with the attack of an earl, even if it is just the attack of some of his vassals.
As a last resort, Moore hurriedly informed the barons of Trois-Rivières near the Tilin River, and sent a messenger to his father to ask for new reinforcements.
It was not easy to get such a large territory, and Moore said that he didn't want to lose anything.
As for the recruitment of Three Rivers City, Moore was completely dismissive. It's not that he looks down on Earl Wright and dares to disobey Earl Wright's orders.
But once he gets into the war, the so-called conscription will turn into a joke.
So, Claire saw two very interesting letters.
One was Wade's complaint against a messenger in Trois-Rivières who had a good relationship with More, and the fox and tiger made it difficult for him to do so. The other is a letter from Moore touting Claire and asking for a joint response to the threat of Count Marcas.
Claire has received the gift from Moore before, and Claire has no prejudice against Mohr. Strictly speaking, Moore did not do anything unfavorable to him, but he robbed other people's territory.
After being robbed of the territory, Moore could still hold back this breath and took the initiative to send someone to show his goodwill, and this courage alone was enough to give him a good foothold in the aristocratic society.
Claire was in deep agreement with the brief alliance proposed in More's letter to deal with the counterattack of the former lords near the Tiling River.
Although Count Wright is going to wage a large-scale war with Count Macus, it will take time to gather vassals and armies and prepare everything for the army to go to war.
During this time, Claire and the other new barons will most likely not be able to wait for support from Trois-Rivières at all.
It's easy to understand that Claire would have done the same if she were the Earl of Wright.
Even if Claire and the others lose, at most they will lose the territory that did not belong to Count Wright, and when the army is dispatched, they will be able to fight back sooner or later.
And since Claire and the others are all "illegal expansions", after the territory is regained, it will definitely not be as big as it is now.
After all, the strength of the vassals is too strong, and many times it is not a good thing for the lord. Perhaps, Earl Wright would like Claire and the others to be defeated.
Therefore, in the face of the counterattack of the original lords near the Tiling River, there is no need to count on Count Wright.
Claire didn't have a good relationship with the new lords around him before, because he felt that since Count Marcas and Count Wright would not break out into a large-scale war, even if the scattered barons formed an alliance, due to different interests and demands, the combat effectiveness would not be too much, and he was still fearless in the face of an enemy army alone.
But now, Count Marcus has taken the lead in the organization, and under the call of the lord, no matter how much these barons who have lost their territory want to take back their territory, they must obediently obey the order, and it is unlikely that they will fight on their own.
Given that the situation has changed a lot, it is only natural that Claire will accede to Moore's request for the alliance.
Since Count Wright of Trois-Rivières is unreliable, the neighbors who need to guard the fruits of his victory are the only reinforcements he can rely on at this time.
Claire immediately wrote a reply letter to Moore, expressing her willingness to form an alliance with the other party to deal with the current crisis, and said in the letter that since the alliance must have someone who has the final say, Claire is willing to support Moll to become the leader of this short-lived alliance.
Claire didn't have any careful thoughts about More, he really felt that this kind of loose alliance must have enough prestige and identity to balance all parties, and More is obviously a more suitable candidate.
Claire is counting on relying on this alliance, at least until Three Rivers City officially sends troops, at this time, Claire naturally won't make any stumbling blocks, otherwise wouldn't it be a stone to shoot herself in the foot?
There are other new barons who have the same idea as Claire, and they all have the same interests in the face of the counterattack of the original owner of the territory, so they naturally will not make an unwise choice at this juncture.
So, in a short period of time, the new lords near the Tilling River also formed a new alliance, and as for the name of the alliance, it was called the Watch Alliance.
When Claire heard the name, he was drinking tea and squirted out, Moore is really a genius.
Claire didn't bother to bother with such a trivial matter as the name, and over the next few days, the messenger on horseback kept shuttling between the territories near the Tilling River, and finally everyone agreed on something about the Watch Alliance.
First of all, there is the basic exchange of information, when one side is attacked, the others must help, and so on.
Secondly, it is the nature of the alliance, which is defensive, not offensive, in case someone takes advantage of the banner of the alliance to take the opportunity to expand the territory, which is not good.
As for the most important thing, it is to build a main coalition force with strong combat effectiveness and mobile ability, which is also the place where there is the most fighting.
Moore and Claire had the same idea, that is, the main force should be hit as much as possible, leaving only a small number of troops in each territory, so as not to be broken by others.
But alas, the other barons didn't think so.
In the end, everyone decided to send 500 soldiers each to form a coalition army together, and as for the location where the coalition army was stationed, it was naturally the city of Monseron, where the alliance leader Mor was located.
