King Charles listened to the opinions of the two sides, weighed the pros and cons, and decided not to send the main army to reinforce the northern frontier and provoke a bigger war.

Instead, he divided part of the territory directly under the northern border of the royal family, named Roger Grant as a hereditary earl, and let Roger lead the Warcraft Cavalry Regiment under his command to stabilize the situation in the northern Xinjiang.

The nobles of the royal court are demoted to the rank of lord.

The duke of the court in time, after five generations, is an ordinary person.

Every nobleman of the court dreams of becoming a hereditary nobleman.

It's a pity that the Grant royal family did not divide the territory on a large scale except when it was founded.

Territories under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family are rarely divided among other people.

If you want to become a hereditary nobleman, the biggest opportunity is in the northern Xinjiang.

It does not have a strong ability, and it is not supported by a large number of gold coins, so it is simply unstable in northern Xinjiang.

In the values of the Dawn Continent, the status of a hereditary earl is actually a few points more noble than that of a court duke.

The hereditary count is the lord of the realm, the great nobility of a kingdom, and an important part of the state.

The Duke of the Court was a little snorting.

If the king doesn't trust it, the duke of the court will sound better, but in fact he may not be able to wield much power.

"Roger, your annuity in the royal family has been taken out, a total of 320,000 gold coins, which is the capital for you to develop the territory.

In addition, your territory consists of three towns, a castle, and a total of 12,000 people.

After the war is over, the 14,000 slaves in the slave camp can be allocated to you to develop the territory.

In addition, the cavalry regiment under your command has also been transferred to Ling, so that you can gain a firm foothold in the northern frontier.

Your cavalry can only stay in the north for five years, and after five years you will have to defend the territory on your own.

You go to Northern Xinjiang this time, and command the Warcraft Cavalry Regiment not to fight too hard. ”

When Luo Ji sent it, King Charles gave a few words.

In mid-April, Roger appeared on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang with this powerful Warcraft cavalry regiment.

The Warcraft Cavalry Regiment appeared on the battlefield and immediately restored the balance of the battle.

In the year 3255 of the Dawn calendar, April 11.

Through the misty morning mist, Sophia Stopa could faintly see the orc flags fluttering in the distance.

After the Orc invasion, Richard would send cavalry to deliver messages to her every day, informing her of the situation near Fort William.

Yesterday the communication was cut off.

When there was a communication problem, Sophia reacted very quickly and immediately cleared the wall and brought the slaves to the castle.

The last time Barony Stopa was breached by the Orcs, the lords ended up being the spoils of Baron Harden.

Today, Stoppa's territory is very empty, and the more than 2,000 slaves purchased by Sophia are basically placed near Vikburg.

Sophia looked at the orc banner from a distance, and thought to herself: "It seems that the main force of this orc army is the wild boar people. The boar people are rumored to be brutal and stupid, and may be able to seize this weakness to fight the boar people. The most crucial thing is to ask the nearby lords for reinforcements.

Baron Harden has a grudge against my family, and may not be willing to send reinforcements. There is a lot of pressure on Richard's side, and he may not be able to draw many people. The most promising one to send reinforcements is Baron Dirham. ”

Sophia's brain turned very quickly, and before the orcs besieged the city, she immediately sent some cavalry to ask for help from the three nearby baronies.

Even if there is a grudge against Baron Harden, she has not forgotten to send someone for help.

At this time, even if it is a life-saving straw, Sophia has to try to grasp it. Whether reinforcements can come or not is a matter of life for everyone in Vickerburg.

"Uncle Vito, raise the banner of the Stopa family.

We, the Stopa family, can lose the castle and sacrifice our lives, but we can't throw away our fighting spirit, let alone have the courage to face the orcs.

All the citizens of my Baron Stoppa, as long as they participate in this year's battle, will become territorial freedmen after the war.

We have a powerful trebuchet installed on Vic Castle, and today under Vic Castle, the brutal and rude orcs are bleeding from the heads.

Victory will belong to the Stopa family, and to us!

Soldiers, for glory, fight! ”

"Yes, Lord Baron."

Although Vito is Sophia's cousin, he is also a qualified officer. Finding that Sophia was boosting morale, she immediately gave orders to the soldiers behind her.

"The baron has an order, raise the flag, and prepare for battle."

Sophia turned her head slightly, and saw a flag slowly rising.

The gray flag is spread out in the wind, and the gray-white pattern looks solemn.

A portrait of an elderly warrior is in the center, flanked by spears crossed over each other.

This is the coat of arms of the Stopa family, the flag of the territory, and the flag of the soldiers of Fort Vic.

It was this brave and intelligent old man who changed the identity of the Stopa family and made future generations a respected nobleman.

He was the founder of the Stopa family and the founder of Vic Castle.

Receiving the news of the orc invasion, Sophia took decisive measures. Despite the monstrous waves in his heart, he is very calm on the surface.

She is a native of northern Xinjiang and saw several wars when she was a child.

When he was eleven years old, he even saw with his own eyes how orc soldiers ate a lord alive?

Children who grow up in this environment are very resilient in the face of war.

The soldiers of Northern Xinjiang are good at war, and they have almost become the label of the Grant Kingdom.

But no one knows what kind of price the civilians of northern Xinjiang have paid for many years?

How people here yearn for peace.

It's a pity that the special geography has kept northern Xinjiang in war all year round.

Unless the main force of the Orc Empire can be defeated, the territory can be expanded, and the territory to the north will be managed, so that this place will become the hinterland, and the southern foothills of the Eagle Mountain Range will be able to usher in peace.

Sophia's composure gave many soldiers a lot of confidence.

The Stopa territory was heavily damaged and its forces were very weak.

Even if the Stopa family tried their best, Sophia only had more than 10,000 gold coins, and there was not much left after buying slaves.

Due to lack of funds, only one squadron of soldiers has been trained in the Tropa territory in the last two years.

Today, the military power of the territory is not even comparable to that of the old baron.

If it weren't for the construction of six heavy trebuchets, Sophia would not have had much confidence to hold on to her territory.

Although successive barons continued to strengthen the city's defenses, Vicburg was not a fortified city.

The highest part of the wall is thirteen meters, and the lowest point is only nine meters.

It's okay to deal with ordinary orcs, but if you encounter an orc like a snake man who is good at climbing, you can climb the city wall in a flash.

Seeing that the orc army began to move slowly, the soldiers of the two newly formed squadrons were already trembling.

Sophia waved her hands and said, "Orcs are very cruel and dirty creatures, especially boar people. After they stormed the castle, what they liked most was to eat people. In order to prevent our wives, sons and daughters from becoming food, we can only resist desperately.

Even if you bite with your teeth, bite them to death. Only by making the orcs feel the pain can we have peace.

I'm a noble baron, or a beautiful woman, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? ”
