Chapter 301: Only Routines Win People's Hearts
White Rock City is an important town in the southern part of the Kingdom of Tiran, and has very important economic and strategic value.
It is precisely for this reason that Ebelson married his eldest daughter Lana to the Otto family, in order to win over the family and completely tie it to the chariot of the Kingdom of Tiran.
At present, it seems that this choice is not wrong, at this time when rebellions have occurred in many southern territories, White Rock City has always stood firmly on the side of the kingdom, so that those rebellions cannot spread to the interior of the Tilan Kingdom, so that the situation is controlled to an acceptable level.
In addition, the standing of White Rock City also made it impossible for the troops of the Holy Gunt Kingdom to move forward, and at most they operated near the border line, not daring to cross the border to launch a real attack on the Tilan Kingdom.
"Therefore, this time, His Majesty the King will personally lead the main army of the Tilan Kingdom, as well as the "coalition army" brought by many lords, to the south to White Rock City."
After Rosie left with her two sons, David looked at the map with Floyd, Laura, Sylvanas, and the others to discuss the possible next big battle.
Freud pointed to the map and explained the importance of White Rock City to his lords: "If there is a real confrontation of force or even a direct battle between the two sides, the battlefield will be on the plain southwest of White Rock City, where the terrain is open and flat enough for the two sides to deploy all their forces."
Considering the strategic significance of White Rock City, if the Holy Gaunt Kingdom really wants to go to war, it must break through and occupy White Rock City.
"I've heard that White Rock City is very lively, so I really want to go and see it." Sophia doesn't care much about the battlefield, the situation of the big powers, or whatever.
She had already learned from David that this battle had little to do with Winterfell, and it wasn't even certain that the main legions of the Kingdom of Tiran would actually fight.
Most likely, it is to go out for a spin and confront or scold each other for a few days.
Even if the battle really starts, the coalition formed by other lords is the main force in the early stage, and there are only ten soldiers in Winterfell, and there is a high probability that all of them will stay in the rear to protect their lord, Lord Earl Glamorgan.
In this case, Sophia has nothing to worry about at all, her focus is on White Rock City itself, and she can also go to see her sister who she hasn't seen for a few years.
"If you want to go, let's go!"
Anyway, there are Kun fighters, and Arcie is there, so Sophia doesn't have to follow the big army, she can fly directly to White Rock City.
Even if she deliberately controls her speed and follows the large army south, Sophia, who moves in a fighter plane, will not feel hard, and there will be no safety problems.
After listening to David's words, Sophia also began to seriously think about whether to go to White Rock City? She was going to say hello to her parents in a moment, and if they didn't object particularly strongly, she would go herself!
Compared to Sophia, David may be a little harder!
As a lord, he is still a lord that His Majesty values very much, and this time he goes south, he will most likely move with the large army and follow His Majesty on horseback.
"If you're going to ride with a large army, what about the Winter Knight?"
"Of course, to continue to ride the Kun-style fighter, did you let the Winter Knight ride in a blizzard power armor? That horse is too miserable...... "David knows that there are many very strong horses in the Kingdom of Tiran, and the weight carrying capacity of these horses is no worse than the top horses in Azeroth.
But no amount of exaggeration can be carried on a long journey with a Winter Knight wearing a full set of Blizzard power armor, right?
After hesitating for a few seconds, David realized that it didn't seem impossible......
However, he still thinks that it is better for the Winter Knight to continue to ride the Kun fighter, and the war horse will limit the combat effectiveness of the Winter Knight.
"Don't you have a few knights around?" Freud was not worried about David's safety, David, who was following His Majesty the King, could not have a security problem, and asked his lord to bring a few knights to support the scene.
"There is no need for this......
"I'm not wearing a blizzard power armor, I'll follow David!" hope
Elvanas thinks that Blizzard Power Armor is a good set of equipment, but she has her own fighting habits, so she will wear her own armor and fight with a bow and arrow unless there are special circumstances.
Her outfit does not interfere with horseback riding, nor is she suitable for airborne combat from a Quint fighter, and is more suitable for operating with David.
The same is true for Gianna, but the mage has no interest in riding a horse, and when everyone looks at her, she decisively says that she prefers to fly.
"It's better that I also act with the adults, and the armor on the fighter plane will not affect anything, as for the combat command...... To be honest, Bullock is better suited than me to command this kind of airborne operation."
David nodded, in this way, Elias Parker, the ceremonial officer, Floyd, the knight of the guard, and Sylvanas, who was a temporary cameo guard, followed him, as a lord who didn't bring many soldiers, there were already a lot of three cronies by his side.
The rest of the men continued to operate in the Quin-style fighters, and if Sophia also went south, Alsie would follow Sophia to ensure the princess's personal safety.
"That's it!"
David looked at the time, and Sutton Stewart had asked him to go out of town with him to see the camp set up by the arriving soldiers.
David didn't want to miss such an opportunity to learn about the strength of the other lords of the Tiran Kingdom, so he accepted Sutton's invitation.
Riding on a tall war horse specially arranged for him, David and Sutton made their way out of the royal capital with a few escorts.
The camp arranged by His Majesty the King for many lords was located in an open area in the southwest corner of the royal capital, and was chosen to facilitate the subsequent assembly of the army to the south.
So David and Sutton rode out of the south gate of the royal capital, turned to the west and ran for a while, and soon saw a temporary military camp specially surrounded.
The guards of the barracks are currently guarded by the Guards of the royal capital of Tiran, and these soldiers are not only protecting the barracks, but also watching over these soldiers from all over the country.
But their task is not complicated, the soldiers in the camp are not allowed to leave the camp without a reasonable reason and order, and as for what the soldiers of the South Sea and North are doing in the camp these days, they don't care!
Even if these soldiers from different places broke out into conflicts and even fought directly, as long as they did not hit the outside of the camp, the guards would ignore it completely, and would even watch the excitement and cheer on the sidelines.
In this case, how chaotic it will be in the temporary barracks is something that can be guessed.
After riding into the barracks on his war horse, David looked at the chaotic, disorderly, and arbitrary camp tents and bonfires around him, and seriously doubted that this coalition army was a ragtag army that the lords from all over the country had just pulled a few strong men to make up the numbers?
"Can this kind of army be combative?"
David felt that with this kind of waste, the ten Winter Knights he brought with him could destroy them all without firing.
"These are indeed miscellaneous armies, and the real elite will occupy a better position." Sutton was more experienced with such situations, and the kingdom of Tiran had not recruited lords many times, he had experienced it many times himself.
The more you see, the more you understand.
"It also has to do with the status of the lord himself."
When the Grand Lord receives the summoning order, he will continue to convey the order to the small lords below, and after recruiting manpower at each level, it is a small joint force itself.
After coming to the royal capital, they divided the territory according to the strength of the lord, title, etc., and arranged their cronies in the best position, and then considered more inferior people.
And generally the outermost are those lords who are not good at their own strength, and their superiors have little strength, and they bring some miscellaneous troops, these soldiers can only do some auxiliary work in addition to filling up the number of people to support the scene-such as building camps, patrolling, standing guard, looking for food, water sources, etc.
Continuing inward, the surrounding tents looked clean, tidy, and organized, and some sturdy soldiers could be seen training spontaneously, or maintaining their weapons and armor.
"These soldiers
The soldier looks okay."
Davy rode on a tall warhorse, and although he did not wear armor or formal earl dress, his ornate everyday clothes betrayed his aristocratic status. Coupled with that young handsome face, he looks like a noble son, and he is urged by curiosity to watch the excitement.
In the face of such a "noble son", the reactions of these soldiers are also different.
There are those who work harder, and there are those who continue to do their own things calmly, David probably glanced around, but he didn't see anyone showing disdain or contempt.
Only then did he realize that this situation was normal, and in the hearts of people in this world, it was a matter of course for nobles to be high.
What's more, these soldiers in the camp are also vested interests in the aristocracy, and there are even many knights among them, who are also part of the aristocracy.
They will envy, they will be jealous, they will want to be a part of it, they just won't look down on it with disdain.
As David continued to look around, there was a sudden commotion in front of him.
This situation is not unusual here, and it can attract David's attention because it is a female voice who is loudly angry.
"Fuck off, you disgusting bastard!"
David followed the voice and looked over, but before he could ask Sutton beside him, "Whose generals are over there?" I saw that Sutton had already urged the war horse to go over to see the excitement.
Riding a horse and following, David didn't have to worry that he couldn't see it, the guards who came with the two had stepped forward to drive the onlookers away, clearing a path so that Earl Sutton Stewart and Earl David Glamorgan could ride into the circle and see what was happening:
A red-haired female knight in armor confronts a strong man.
