Section 110 Variation March (5)
Solomon and Wolfe spent only two days in Jenova.
Despite the so-called "friendship", Madame Toris still tried her best to get outsiders out of Genova City.
Because the Wolves really frightened the residents of Genova City, Odda's troops almost clashed with the Wolf team who went to collect food, but it was Dorois and Odda who arrived in person and forced down the soldiers to avoid bloodshed.
In order for Solomon to leave faster, Lady Doroth did her best to meet the intruder's demands.
For example, Solomon and his family were forced to store bacon for food, and all the families in Jenova were forced to give some of the bacon and sausages to Solomon.
Dowres was even willing to give a quarter of the Clovis family's cash fortune in exchange for Solomon's early departure.
Solomon did not refuse, but he offered to give him the contribution in the future when he traded with the city of Genois.
Now his shrinkage bag only contains food and water, and he is now deep in the territory of the enemy, in this case, food and water are more important than precious metals, and if you have money, you have to have a life to spend it.
Eventually, Solomon got information about several nearby territories from Doris, and then finally launched his army and left the city of Genova.
The gates of Jenova slowly closed, and the drawbridge was pulled up sharply.
A man and a woman on the city wall looked at the distant army and were silent for a long time, and after a long time, Oda Shi whispered, "Madam, we do this, right?"
He was referring to telling Solomon all the truth and falsehood of several nearby territories, saving him a lot of time in reconnaissance.
"If not, will we wait for those fellows to know our weakness and calculate us? Toris said slowly.
If it had been the lady-like lady of the past, of course she wouldn't do it.
But after experiencing a life and death. Doris's mentality has changed, she must live by herself first, otherwise everything else is fake.
Imagine that the two orthodox heirs of the Clovis family are dead. The following are all nephews and nephews, and the reason why they didn't fight for the lord's position was because of the invaders.
Dowres didn't want to put her safety in the hands of someone like Humphrey anymore. With the support of Oda and the inheritance as a surviving person, he can ensure his own safety.
But this only eliminates the internal risks, and the external risks remain.
She was the head of the house as a widow, and the Clovis had never been more fragile after their military forces had suffered heavy losses in the battle against Grumbel, and Humphrey's soldiers had been wounded twice during Solomon's invasion.
Even if the invaders are sent away, the nearby lords may come to the door under some excuse to take advantage of them.
It is highly probable that the city of Jenova has always been one of the two richest regions south of Vildain. It is also normal for the nearby lords, whether they are from Agstra or their own country, to be red-eyed.
However, the two heirs of the orthodox Clovis family died in a very short period of time, and Doiris ruled as a surviving person, and the military power was weak, so it was strange that they had no ideas.
"And for those people, do we really have to keep our promises in the future?" After a moment's hesitation, Odda asked another question.
"Of course you can, why not? for a long time, even after the Clovis family has regained its strength. We all need allies. As Solomon said, we have not been in direct conflict with them. Dores said, "Of course." Cooperation is based on strength, so let's wait until they have their lives alive to go back. ”
Oda trembled, the danger that Dooris said was of course not the lords she had brought to the east, but the pursuers who had been chasing Solomon so far and might arrive near Jenova City at any time, and it was not a lord-level private army, but a kingdom-level legion.
Solomon, who had left the city of Jenova, had indeed launched an invasion of the other nearby lords in the following time.
This is a conspiracy, and both Solomon and Toris know it. Including Doris's intention to pay an extra price for them to leave early, and asking Oda to tell him the truth about the other lords.
But Solomon would not refuse. Because he himself wants to make a certain noise and attract the attention of the aborigines.
At this point. He was willingly used by Lady Dorids to weaken the surrounding lords and relieve the pressure on the Clovis family.
In the invasion of the surrounding lords, Solomon was not as lucky as he was in the city of Genova.
Because the city of Genova was occupied before, it has been known to the other lords who have been paying attention to the changes in the Clovis family.
They obviously strengthened their attention to the defense of the city, huddled in the ancient castle, pulled up the suspension bridge at any time, and strictly forbade suspicious people to approach.
It is unlikely that Solomon would have reappeared like the surprise attack on the city of Genova.
If it is stormed, Wolf is not good at attacking cities, and it may not be possible to capture one or two of the lord's core castles, but the cost may be large, which is not in line with Solomon's fundamental purpose.
Therefore, he could only make a noise in the territory outside the castle, and in two days he swept through three lords' territories, causing panic among the people, and the news of the invaders breaking into the territory of the Kingdom of Virdan spread.
However, the local lord only fought the castle gate once with Solomon in the field, and then he could not resist it, and retreated to his core castle as quickly as possible, and then cowered and could not defend it, leaving Solomon to pretend to be dead no matter how he was outside.
Solomon had no choice, and two days later, half of the food supplied in the city of Genova had been consumed, and he ordered Wolf to loot between the invaded towns and villages to replenish them, and slaughtered the cattle in the countryside without ready-made bacon.
At about the same time, he also noticed that the defensive forces from Vildan and Agstelia had arrived near the city of Genova before the other pursuers.
Lady Dorids even had Odda send a henchman to deliver the letter secretly, much to Solomon's satisfaction.
For even if Mrs. Doreds did not send a messenger, he had always released the hatchlings of the Thunderhawk and could not hide from him the news that the pursuers had arrived in the city of Genova.
But Mrs. Dorids was willing to deliver the letter, and it seemed that she "sincerely" wanted to cooperate in the future.
However, this is still very early, even if Asteria and the Clovis family really plan to secretly communicate with each other in the future, there are still a few lords between the two parties. It's not that easy.
Lady Torris sent someone to deliver the letter, which was more of a speculation.
After all, Solomon hadn't left the region yet, and if Lady Dorids didn't show a certain amount of "loyalty". If the pursuers also let Solomon easily defeat him, and then return to the door to trouble Clovis's house, it will be more than worth the loss.
Opposite. If you send a message, you can't catch the handle of the Clovis family, and it is nothing to remind Solomon.
At most, the invaders will flee to the rest of the kingdom, and if they refuse to leave, a big battle with the kingdom's defenses will make the city of Jenova just a spectacle.
When Solomon got the news, he did not choose to fight the remaining forces of the Kingdom of Virdan in the south.
At this time, the Kingdom of Verdan was also quite empty, the elite of the regular army of the kingdom was in the southern defense line, and the domestic legion was originally to defend the royal capital. This level is because Solomon has made too much trouble in the southern territories in the past few days, and finally began to plunder for food, and the nearby lords were very frightened, and their own private army could not be defeated, so they had to send the news back to the royal capital to ask for support, and were willing to gather the private armies of the nearby lords to cooperate with the kingdom to annihilate the invaders, but the premise was that the kingdom must send elite fighters.
There was no way, the Kingdom of Vildan had no choice but to divide the remaining legions into two, half still defending the royal capital, and the other half was led south by the legion commander himself. At the same time, the private armies of all lords were required to cooperate with the joint encirclement and suppression.
If you only refer to this half of the imperial capital army going south, Solomon may not dare to fight.
However, from Thunderhawk's reconnaissance and Doris's message, it was learned that in addition to Verdan's Imperial Capital, some of the legions left behind had come. In addition, in the United Kingdom of Agsteria, the royal family of Anferni and the royal family of Aquamarine sent a force each.
Although these two forces each have only one brigade, and even half of the army is far behind, but together, plus half of the Verdan Imperial Capital Army, as well as the local lord's private army, their strength is not much different from a first-line army on the whole.
What's even more worrying is that Solomon doesn't know when Eltesa and the other pursuer (Prince Joan) will also arrive.
And Solomon was not willing to fight a war of great attrition, that was not his purpose.
So he chose to advance in the opposite direction again before the enemy forces converged to form an encirclement network.
This time, the target was the royal capital of Verdan, and the supplies along the way had to be really looted. However, he tried to restrain Wolf from killing indiscriminately, as long as the other party was willing to honestly provide the army with what it needed.
The Kingdom of Verdan is located in a north-central direction. Nearby is the largest lake in Ugudral, where hunting and fishing are abundant.
Solomon made a surprise attack on the king's capital. Shocked Vildan's legions, even if he knew that Wolf was unlikely to be able to capture the fortified city of Vildan, but if he knew that the royal city was in danger, it would be incorrect not to rush back to save it.
Therefore, half of the royal capital army that went south immediately left behind the other armies, and no longer cared about any strategy, and went all out to defend.
In this way, there was a loophole in the original arrangement to block Solomon's entry into the middle of Yugudlar.
The departure of half of the royal capital made the private army of the local lord, who had plucked up courage, scattered, and only the two armies of Agstelia were in a bit of a dilemma, whether to continue to penetrate into Vildan to help encircle and suppress them, or to withdraw there.
Of course, Solomon didn't really attack the city of Verdan, he didn't even do it to storm the core castle of the local lord, how could he gnaw on a harder bone.
However, they rushed to the city of Vildan and quietly began to retreat after a huge "military requisition".
Since he had broken up the enemy's encirclement net, and he had a Thunderhawk hatchling that could monitor nearby movements from a high altitude, he narrowly avoided the Veldan Legion that had returned to the royal capital on the way back.
In the end, Solomon's army successfully returned to the south of Velendan again, and after another military requisition, it completely disappeared from the sight of the pursuers.
At this point, Mrs. Dorids knew that Solomon had succeeded in achieving his greatest goal, attracting the attention of the native nations.
Not only did the nations have to worry about defending their own borders, but they also had to send troops to help the countries where he was going to encircle and suppress them, but he flicked a shot, bypassed his pursuers, and entered the central part of the western part of Yugudral.
