Chapter 68 Trivia(1/3)
Chapter 68 Highlights
The capital of the Principality of Fort Carson is 'Greenleaf Castle'. It is located in the southeastern territory of the Vant Empire. It faces the Dark Empire across a large river. This is the place where the river is the most rapid. Since ancient times, the Principality of Fort Carson has not had to worry about coming from
The attack from the Dark Empire, together with the two neighboring principalities, they only need to deal with the possible attack from the Vant Empire. However, the Principality of Fort Carson has many mountains, water, and complex terrain, which is not suitable for large corps.
In terms of combat, although it is rich in minerals, the Vant Empire rarely makes any plans to attack here.
Of course, the reason why it is difficult for the Vante Empire to make up its mind to completely conquer this place is that the people of these three principalities have strong folk customs. Although the number of armies is small, each of them is good at fighting. The cost of sending out large armies to attack them is too high.
, it’s really not cost-effective.
This time, if it were not the place where the newly formed Five Beast Legion needed to train its troops, the Vante Military Headquarters would not have made a plan to launch an attack on the three principalities to train the new recruits. Only by fighting against a skilled opponent can one's soldiers become better.
He became an elite warrior. The only thing he lacked was an excuse to send troops. Now that the excuse has come to his door, there is no need to be taboo about anything anymore.
Count Rocart, no, now he is Grand Duke Rocart. He stood in the meeting hall of the Grand Duke's Palace in Greenleaf Castle, looking at the seven elite knights under his command, and sighed: "You didn't catch them? You let them escape.
Did you go to the Vante Empire?" His dark yellow eyes stared at the knights, like a tiger about to pounce on its prey.
Rockart is tall and very strong, standing as straight as an arrow. His long gray hair is messily scattered behind him, and with his cold and ruthless eyes, he looks like he has a very strange and tough aura.
It was as if there was an ancient beast roaring and charging inside his body, and it could jump out and kill him at any time. The veins in his big hands were bulging, and his long fingers were so flexible and powerful, showing that he was a very terrifying master.
Looking next to him, leaning against the seat behind him, is a two-meter-long double-headed spear. The spear is made of pure steel and is dark, with fine lines on it. It looks full of mystery.
Beautiful. And the one-foot-long spear has three deep blood grooves on it. It is clearly a vicious thing used to kill people. Different from ordinary spears, the spears used by Rockart have two flat spearheads.
, the edges are polished extremely sharp, and it seems to be used for some special purposes, at least it can be used as a machete and stabbing.
Looking at the subordinates who dared not express their anger in front of him, Lockart's tone softened a little: "Forget it, the damn guards are all selected masters of the principality, and there are also some well-known swordsmen on the mainland.
, it is difficult to catch them even if they want to escape. However, just because I let you go this time does not mean that you will be able to relax. I will give you two months to double the principality’s army.”
The seven knights were shocked and asked repeatedly: "My lord, is it you?"
Rocart tilted his head to the north and said faintly: "Well, the Fante Empire should send troops. Although I don't understand why they would send troops, I have this hunch. Well, maybe it's an intuition.
They will definitely send troops. Our current "field regiment" only has 30,000 people. 30,000 people are not enough to stop the pace of the Vante army. Expand me to an army of 60,000 people and intensify training. I want two
After a few months, they all became the most elite archers."
The seven knights responded loudly: "Yes, sir." They were very confident to complete this task. Although the area of the Principality of Fort Carson is only equivalent to a small province of the Vant Empire, it still has a population of two million.
In addition, many residents live in mountainous areas. If you select elite hunters from these people and train them, they will become the most elite archers in a short time. The mountains here are high and the forests are dense, so archers are the most powerful unit.
Rocart looked at the military map in front of him, rubbed his fingers on the map for a while, and whispered: "If I were a Vant, which general would I send to attack first? Gaddafi? No,
He is a famous veteran, can't it be his Jerry? That boy's character is suitable for harassing combat and sneak attacks from behind. This is also the nature of a wolf, but he cannot be a vanguard. Other generals are not qualified to lead
A legion, then, only the upstart, Lei... Humph, there are three ways to attack the hinterland of our principality from the Vant Empire, so what if I get two of them out of the way?"
"No, I can't let them enter our territory in vain. On each road, I have to arrange three thousand archers to conduct harassing operations to slow down their advance. Then...will they be willing to do the other two principalities?
Will you cooperate with me? If that doesn't work, just let the two principalities change their masters, so that the coalition of our three principalities can easily fight against the Vanter army on this terrain."
Rockart chuckled softly: "A person who relies on luck to sit in the position of army commander, haha, let me teach you what a real war is." Rockart looked at the map with a little regret in his heart.
That damn woman should have gone to the Vante Imperial Capital with her uncle. Unfortunately, if your father promised to marry you to me, why should I rebel?
Half a month later, the regimental commanders of the Principality of Luke and the Principality of Danube rebelled at the same time. After killing the entire family of the former Grand Duke, he announced his succession. Including the Principality of Luxembourg, the documents of the three principalities were sent to the Vante Imperial Capital at the same time.
Expressing his friendship to the Vante Empire, he was accompanied by a large number of convoys loaded with gold nuggets and crystals.
Shagru chuckled and casually ordered Chris to write three polite letters of credence and send them back. Sidok unceremoniously sent the gold nuggets to the Finance Department as military expenses. As for Vant
The empire's newly expanded legion, the Five Beast Legion, which has 1.5 million people, has begun crazy training again.
Lei was recruited to the military headquarters for three days in a row, where he coordinated equipment, soldiers, and food issues. After negotiating with the generals at the military headquarters for three days, Lei adapted the 100,000-strong Kuanglong Legion under him into bows and arrows.
Hands, 150,000 light infantry, 50,000 heavy infantry. Originally, the Kuanglong Legion was famous throughout the empire for its heavy cavalry, but at Lei’s insistence, the military personnel had to agree to Lei’s establishment. Lei also had his own
Principle: "Are you kidding, letting heavy cavalry go to fight in the mountains? Those horses can't climb those hillsides at all. Even the heavy infantry, I let them use it to scare people. The real combatants are the light infantry and bows and arrows.
Soldiers."
Jerry thought thoughtfully for a long time, and with a stroke of a pen, he changed the organization of his regiment to that of Lei's Mad Dragon Legion. Anyway, when the heavy cavalry charges, all kinds of changes in gun momentum can be achieved.
They were trained on the ground. This attack on the three principalities this time, the soldiers must see blood no matter what. A soldier who is not very skilled in skills, but goes crazy when seeing blood, is compared to those soldiers who are skilled in tactics, but go crazy when seeing blood.
The soldiers who escaped were simply too strong.
On the third day, Ray and Jerry met the newly promoted commanders of the Jaguar Corps and the Feifeng Corps. The commander of the Feifeng Corps was a relative of Gaddafi named Bacon, who was in his forties.
He seems to be a mature and steady person. Although the fluctuations of fighting spirit that leak out from his body from time to time prove his strength, he is probably the same type as Gaddafi. Shagru appointed him as the commander of the army just for peace of mind.
As for the commander of the Jaguar Legion, Lei and the others were surprised. This guy turned out to be Bicart from the Walters family. Walters was an extremely arrogant fifth-level gold knight in his early thirties. Didn't Lei think that this guy
Too proud, he may not be able to lead the army well, and Jerry is very puzzled as to why the old guys in the military let someone from the Walters family serve as the commander of the Five Beasts Legion. Don't those old guys
Do you know that the Walters family is already powerful enough among the three major military families?
Jerry rode his horse gloomily and walked towards his mansion with Ray. Ray glanced at Jerry, shook his head and said: "Okay, Jerry, what are you unhappy about? You just killed a viscount
Can you get your daughter into bed? Luomat just lost tens of thousands of gold coins to you, right? What else are you unhappy about? I said, people should know how to be content."
Jerry shook his head. He didn't want his worries to affect Lei's good mood. In fact, this was because Lei had just become a noble after all, so he didn't care too much about Bikater's promotion. As for other big noble families,
Who wouldn't be staring at the vacant positions of two regiment commanders? Now that the Walters family is the leader of the Jaguar Corps, it proves that their family has won this battle, and they rely on
What wins? All of these are worthy of careful analysis and study.
The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and Picart Walters chased after him with more than a hundred bodyguard knights. With a proud smile, he, Jerry and Lei rode side by side. Picart looked at Lei arrogantly and said with a smile.
He said: "Oh, this is what is spread in the army. One person killed thousands of criminals, knights of the Six Nations Alliance, and countless mages, Lieutenant General Lei, right? Jerry, your military exploits are also terrifying.
Well, no wonder you were promoted so quickly... However, I heard that the two of you actually escaped back to the imperial capital with great difficulty, right?"
The scar on Lei's face shook violently, and he said coldly: "Damn it, at least I got promoted through military merit. Where the hell did you come from? You can also serve as a legionnaire for no reason.
Commander? Is the empire's army commander so worthless?" After saying that, Lei dropped a few rude words from the mountain residents, which made Bikater's face suddenly darken.
Jerry chuckled softly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bikart, Lei has such a temper. However, Your Majesty appreciates Mr. Lei's temper very much. If you don't believe it, you can ask His Majesty in person. Did we lose the battle? This matter
Regarding the matter, you can ask Sir Sidok, the Minister of Military Affairs, or directly ask His Majesty, be careful that we charge you with disturbing the morale of the army? Ha, I am also very curious, how did you become the commander of the army?"
Lei said rudely: "Damn, look at his pretty face, I don't know which woman's pants he got into to become a legion commander. Karub, let's go, I don't talk to mad dogs. Crete, you
Go to the camp and urge the brothers to practice carefully. You are ready to equip 50,000 longbowmen for me, understand? I will shoot them all to death when the time comes."
Lei said "I'm a man" and "Fuck", I heard Bikater and the others trembling all over, and almost wanted to take action, but this is a downtown area after all, the weather has warmed up a bit recently, and there are a lot of pedestrians on the street. If the Empire
The two army commanders had a fight in public, which would be a huge scandal. Moreover, Bikater knew that he could not beat Lei.
Bicart could only sneer a few times and watched Crete and his men riding away. Leon raised his head, his eyes were nowhere to be seen, and displayed a virtue that was ten times more arrogant than theirs.
He looked so proud and arrogant. Bikater's eyes flashed fiercely, and he suddenly said to Karub in a friendly voice: "Master Karub, do you still remember what my uncle said to you?
?If you like, you can come to our Jaguar Army. Even if you look down on the Guards and the Guards, but now I lead the Jaguar Army, come to me and you can use all your talents... in a rough man
My subordinate, what can you do?"
At this moment, Jerry's expression changed. Who in the imperial capital doesn't know that Kalub is the knight leader of Lei's family? Especially in the past few days after Kalub returned to the imperial capital, he mobilized a group of fallen nobles and civilians with great fanfare.
The knight joined Lei's family knight team. Now Lei's men have a private army of more than 1,200 people. Kalub and Shagru have recognized the leader of the private army. If Kalub agrees,
If Carter's request is met, then Karub will no longer have to hang out in the aristocratic circle in the future, and Lei's face will be trampled under the feet of thousands of people.
Lei stopped his horse and looked at Bikart coldly. Bikart looked into Lei's eyes unwilling to be outdone, and sneered a few times: "General Lei, I am thinking about Lord Karub's future.
, his tactics and force are famous, if he is under your hands, can you give full play to his talents? I'm afraid you will cause them all to die miserably by then, right?"
Lei said gloomily: "Little bastard, I'm too lazy to talk to you. You are afraid that your subordinates are all rubbish and will not be able to fight on the battlefield, so you came to win over Karub, right? Huh, I won't give you a chance.
Look at the colors and see, you think I'm afraid of your Walters family." Lei's right hand grasped the hilt of the sword fiercely, and a sword light flashed out. Looking at Lei's sword force, he was aiming at Bicart's neck.
Fortunately, Jerry had quick eyesight and quick hands. He swung out his sword and barely blocked Lei's sword. With a "chi" sound, the sword edge flew past Picart's scalp, and his beautiful golden wavy long hair was heard.
A large piece of hair suddenly fell.
Picart was frightened half to death at first, and then he suddenly reacted and was about to curse, but Lei's left fist had already been swung out heavily, and the handsome white horse under Picart was struck by Lei.
The punch shattered the head, and blood spurted out wildly. The horse fell to the ground completely, and Bikater was crushed under the horse's body in an awkward manner, screaming in pain.
Bikart's bodyguard knights stared blankly at the bloody scene in front of them. When had these people who had never been on the battlefield encountered such a brutal and unreasonable person as Lei?
Lei laughed ferociously: "Boy, if you dare to cause trouble for me, I will dare to cause trouble for you... I have understood the truth that the aristocratic circle is a gangster circle. Some people say that the one with more money is the boss.
, some people say that the one with the most power is the boss, but I have to say, if I have a big fist, I am the boss. If you are not convinced, feel free to ask someone from your family to come and fight me. If you make me angry, I will come from your family.
The head of the family, Duke Walters, has begun to challenge you and fight you one by one. I will kill all of your family."
Jerry, Lomat, and Gosia listened blankly to Lei's long speech. Lei said proudly: "Hey, so what if you are a duke? I am still a count. The request for a duel by the regiment commander was made by
You are protected by the laws of the empire. When the time comes, I will come to your door, block it, and chop your family members to death one by one. See if you still dare to fight me. Bah, you little bastards without eggs dare to imitate others' arrogance.
If you have the strength of that guy Bobcat, come and challenge me again."
Lei rode off triumphantly, and Karub and the other bodyguard knights laughed wildly and ran out after Lei. Jerry and Lomat looked at each other, laughed at the same time, and they also rode off.
Jerry laughed crazily: "Hahaha, the aristocratic circle is a gangster circle, yes, that's so true, hahaha, sometimes what Lei said is really to the point. Well, I agree, yes, Walt
What's so great about the Si family? Now Lei can be said to be the number one general in our empire. If he proposed a duel with the Walters family, no one would dare to fight him."
Lomat chuckled: "Sir Jerry, isn't the aristocratic circle just a hooligan circle? Look at those noble ladies, they can take off their clothes anytime and anywhere. Compared with them, civilian girls are pure and noble.
