"Mr. Wushuang Knight, have the Gilt reinforcements not arrived?" Earl Benjamin's first words came to the point.

"Yes, where did you see it?" Ender nodded.

"Sir, this is very simple. If the reinforcements of the Kingdom of Gilt have arrived and have enough troops, you will not take the soldiers of the Kingdom of Abilee as a vanguard, or the soldiers who act as a vanguard, they will definitely be the most elite soldier in the army, and it is impossible to bring the newly recruited prisoners."

Earl Benjamin stayed in the Battle Barbarian Camp for two days, and was also an earl. As long as it was not a military secret and was explicitly prohibited from being disclosed, he could find out by bribing the guardian soldiers - a great nobleman of the rank of Earl, even if he was a soldier in the Kingdom of Gilt, would have a great deterrence.

So he knew that at least one-third of the 3,500 men led by Ender were transformed from prisoners of the Abilee Kingdom Army.

He even knew that those men were soldiers of the Third, Fifth and Sixth Legions of the Kingdom of Aibil.

"Well, you keep talking." Ander nodded without comment, allowing Count Benjamin to continue to analyze.

Of course, Gilter reinforcements had arrived, but Princess Heloise was alone and eager to control the situation, so she had to recruit prisoners - but there was no need to talk to Count Benjamin about these.

After being recognized by Ander, Earl Benjamin was revived.

"Mr. Wushuang Knight, your method of recruiting prisoners is too urgent and rude. It is more like a situation than a military need; and according to the news I have learned, the eldest princess did not use such means when she recruited the soldiers of the first, third, fifth and sixth legions, but used general employment methods."

————————————

In this world, nobles and knights can naturally pay the ransom by themselves, but ordinary soldiers will find it difficult to redeem themselves unless the superior nobles voluntarily pay the ransom for them.

It’s fine if the nobles’ private soldiers are, but the nobles will pay the ransom for them unless they have no money.

Regular troops are usually composed of free people, citizens and recruited soldiers. Joining the army is a profession rather than selling one to the king. Therefore, after being captured, most of them cannot be redeemed by the king. It is possible for both sides to exchange prisoners, but there must be prisoners that can be exchanged.

So they can solve their own security problems by serving the other party, which does not violate the law, as long as they do not attack the king's territory.

Of course, there is no need to rely too much on combat effectiveness and fighting will for such soldiers who have transformed from prisoners to mercenaries.

————————————

"So I think that you have not received the approval of the eldest princess Heloise," Earl Benjamin said in a positive tone.

"Mr. Wushuang Knight, I wonder if what I said is right?"

Ender nodded.

Benjamin saw Ander nodding again, and he became more and more excited: "I think that your situation is already very dangerous, Lord Wushuang Knight."

"As a brave and unparalleled knight like you, you should be the object of respect for everyone, and you should be the idol of the First Army. How did His Highness Heloise, the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Gilt treat you?"

"First of all, you made such great contributions that she did not give you enough rest, so that you could lead troops to fight continuously; secondly, she did not provide you with excellent soldiers, but allowed you to use such rough means to stabilize the situation when your troops were insufficient, so that your reputation would be lost - the honor of the knight is higher than life, you could have become a knight idol, and your appeal is unparalleled, but now these are impossible - this is a huge loss, worth at least one baron."

"Sir, I think His Highness Heloise, the princess of Gilter, may have become suspicious of you-even when you lead the vanguard army, she is not suspicious, but the news that you used such means to recruit prisoners in Queerle City before reporting on it will definitely make her suspicious."

Earl Benjamin said with confidence.

Putting one's heart on the position of Princess Heloise, the vanguard general under his command would expand his army without his approval, which would be a felony.

Moreover, during the expansion of the army, trampling on the dignity of the nobles was even more taboo. No matter how great the other party made, Earl Benjamin would have a smile on his face and a mp in his heart.

Even if Earl Benjamin does not turn against him on the spot, he will definitely make a preparatory plan to get rid of the evil dogs.

The reason why aristocrats are superior is that they are based on the social and political system in which aristocrats are naturally superior. If someone wants to overturn this system, even if they are their own people, they must be eradicated.

This is a question of class position and is not subject to personal will. Of course, before this, you should make full use of what you can use.

Ande thought something.

————————————

The eldest princess Heloise had already gathered all the elite soldiers for him as much as possible, but the war had just ended at that time. There were less than 10,000 Gilter soldiers who were not injured. They had to guard more than 10,000 prisoners. There were thousands of wounded soldiers who needed to be taken care of. The staff was extremely nervous, so it was not easy to get this vanguard army.

Moreover, the act of forcibly recruiting prisoners on the side of Ander was by no means the result of the princess' forced force. Before he found out that something was wrong with the wall, Ander himself did not expect that Earl Benjamin would attack Hont Town at night, and he could not know in advance that he could dress up Earl Benjamin and conquer Queeren City within one day.

——That day in Hont town, Ender inspected the camp as usual.

Because the town wall is obviously higher than the town and has a good view, Ande inspected the layout of the campsites in the entire town along the town wall.

Ander planned to use this place as the main camp after His Highness the Princess arrived, so he naturally had to pay attention to his subordinates' work. Among the vanguard troops he led, there were 500 soldiers with craftsmanship skills, who were specialized in this kind of thing.

While walking along the wall, Ande naturally passed through a hollowed-out wall. If it were someone else, he would pass by, but how sensitive is Ande?

The vibration under his feet was slightly wrong, so he immediately launched the "Heaven and Earth" to monitor all changes around him.

It turned out that the wall of the town was nearly twenty meters wide was hollowed out and carefully disguised - this was simply putting the other party's intentions on the table clearly.

That night, Ander personally monitored the high place. Earl Benjamin led 6,000 soldiers to lurk. So many people lurked and approached, and how could they hide it from others, but how could they hide it from Ender's eyes?

It is precisely because Earl Benjamin plans to attack the city at night that the soldiers in front are all melee troops suitable for close combat. They are restrained by heavy cavalry charges, so they are defeated and even captured alive.

If the two armies were facing each other, the two sides had a strict array, and with a huge gap in force, Ander might not be able to capture Count Benjamin so smoothly.

Opportunities must not be missed, and no more mistakes will come. Such a good opportunity, Ander must not be spared.

But after capturing Quereren City, Ander had only three thousand men. In Quereren City, there were more than 10,000 regular soldiers and prisoners of the Abilelian Kingdom Army. Outside the city, there were nearly 6,000 private soldiers and prisoners of the Banjamin family, not to mention that this Quereren City was the basic foundation of the Banjamin family for hundreds of years, and even the bottom civilians would not support Ender.

Under Ender's buttocks was an active crater, and he could only use this method to help him.

In fact, if the red revolutionary spark could start a prairie fire in Ande's memory, and the revolutionary liberation method could only be said to be the fur among the fur.

If he really brought out the people's democratic dictatorship and criticized the landlords and wealth, the effect would be hundreds of times better than now.

Of course, after using that trick, Ender doesn't have to fight any elves, orcs, orbs, orbs, and the Kingdom of Abilee. Just wait for everyone to join forces to beat him.

This can only be said that the situation forced Ender to this point.

Although the above causes and consequences are very different from those guessed by Earl Benjamin, the conclusion is the same.

No commander would sit idly by the act of expanding the army without authorization; and any nobleman would inevitably be dissatisfied with the measures taken by Ende.

Even if there wasn't in the first place, there were probably doubts now.

——————————————

Although Ande repeatedly thought about the situation he was facing and the countermeasures he was about to take, he still had a casual expression on his face, and asked casually: "Do you have any suggestions for this situation?"

Benjamin was overjoyed. After saying so much, he finally got an opportunity to induce:

"Mr. Ender, if you continue to develop as it is, you are most likely to become a sharp blade in the hands of the Kingdom of Gilt, cut a piece of fat for them in the Kingdom of Abilee, and then throw it out by the Kingdom of Gilt at some point after the situation stabilizes, and win people's hearts as a scapegoat."

"This is the most likely ending - to avoid this ending, you should establish your own power, control an armed force that belongs entirely to you, and build a territory that you have completely controlled in the Kingdom of Abilee - based on this, use me as a puppet, and peek at the throne when you advance, and seize the throne when you retreat.

As long as you have enough chips in your hands, both ends of the balance, no matter who has the advantage, it will depend on your face in the end."

Earl Benjamin said with confidence.

What is "when you advance, you peek at the throne, and when you retreat, you will be in power." Without the help of his Count Jamin, can this be done with his reputation as a terrible street in "King Killer"?

As long as the "King Killer" continues according to this plan, the two parties will naturally become a cooperative relationship.

If both sides cooperate, then who will eventually be able to sit on the throne? Is it the wise, Count who tramples on the honor of the nobles? Or is it the wise, Count who is good at everything, relying on the tyranny of the "King Killer" to eliminate competitors, and appease the "King Killer" and let him contribute to the Kingdom of Abery?

This is a win-win situation!

The knight is pioneering and enterprising, and the king rules the country, perfect!

In the end, if he really couldn't get rid of this "king killer", he wouldn't mind getting him a count's territory, and the fief was placed next to the Elf Forest, which could serve as a solid line of defense for the Benjamin Kingdom.

Anyway, he has a bad reputation as the "King Killer", so he will never be able to become the regent of the Benjamin Dynasty. As long as he gives him a territory that can protect him, it is not too difficult to get rid of his hostage.

Thinking of this, Earl Benjamin couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth. Of course, this smile flew away on Earl Benjamin's face. Now he is still a prisoner and cannot be complacent.

——————————————

Ander still had a lazy smile on his face, but his heart was filled with turmoil.

This is true for Earl Benjamin, and so is His Highness Princess Heloise.

On that day, if Ander wanted to lead the pioneer, Princess Heloise naturally had to do some work.

The most important one is that Princess Heloise once expressed her own strategic ideas in front of Emilia.

In Princess Heloise's plan, she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when her father fell and the eldest prince was trapped to fully control the military power.

To this end, as the princess of the regent, she took advantage of the opportunity of betrayal of the Kingdom of Abilee and plotting against King Osvid to death, and ordered the war of destruction of the Kingdom of Abilee.

Not to mention whether the Kingdom of Abilee can be destroyed, but it is very possible that Princess Heloise, who holds military power, will use it to build a marquis territory for herself.

At that time, as the governor, she will divide the captured territory to herself and the meritorious ministers. Who can say anything else?

Even if the eldest prince escapes from the trap and ascends to the throne of King of the Kingdom of Gilt, it is impossible to reclaim these fiefs.

(Heloise did not say anything about finding an opportunity to kill the eldest prince in front of Ender)

Heloise, who was a meritorious minister, could definitely transform a considerable number of elite troops of the kingdom and become his own private soldiers through the act of enfeoffment.

With these elite soldiers and generals in hand, she can go forward and peek at the throne (Gilt) and retreat and rule over (Abilee).

There are enough chips in your hand, and at both ends of the balance, no matter who has the advantage, it depends on her face in the end - at least the position of the Marquis is stable.

In addition, members of the Rose Society can also occupy one area according to their merits and establish a female aristocratic alliance - inheriting titles are mainly women.

As for the arrangements for Ende, there are two types: one is to let him be a stallion and breed female heads who are inconvenient to get married - since the entire marquis is his descendant, it doesn't matter what treatment is;

Another arrangement is to independently acquire a baron or even viscount territory for Ander, as the marquis's military responsibilities, and to help the marquis.

Whether it is Earl Benjamin or Princess Heloise, the strategic plans of these two are very similar, and the most critical points are exactly the same - military power and territory.

In the eyes of Princess Heloise and Earl Benjamin, they are high-ranking nobles, and are naturally qualified to obtain allegiance from others, and it is natural to control the knights and subordinates to fight for power for themselves.

However, Ende's memory comes from the heavens on Earth.

Since ancient times, there is a saying in the Celestial Empire - would it be better for kings, princes, generals and ministers?

Can others do it, I can't do it?

The army, by forcing soldiers to trample on the majesty of the nobles, built an army that could only follow itself and had no choice. This operation could continue, but the way should be gentler;

In territory, others can fight, but they can fight themselves.

Having a territory that is large enough to allow you to develop safely without looking at other people's faces is extremely attractive to Ender.
