Chapter 17 Hope for Armistice (1)

After being idle, Hu Bin recruited a circle of soldiers and found that there was nothing to do. The funds in the package were once again less than three digits. The soldiers' food and maintenance fees would be settled with rent, and they would not lose their reputation due to arrears, but soldiers' upgrades also require subsidies.

In the world of war chapters, reputation is a very important factor. The rulers of various countries use reputation to stabilize the morale of the army and thus obtain more soldiers carrying caps. Reputation is also a standard for measuring the strength of a noble. Even if a lord with high reputation does not have much military strength or fiefdom, it will not be underestimated by the nobles. Because the source of reputation mostly comes from the relationship between military achievements and the reconciliation of the lord, only if the reputation reaches enough can a noble become a popular figure in the aristocratic circle.

Although Hu Bin borrowed bloodline and the light of his own fiefdom and became a lord in advance, the space judged that the magic environment of this world was extremely poor, and the advantage of bloodline was greatly weakened. In order to compensate Hu Bin, Hu Bin was placed in a secluded overseas Reed family genealogy.

Hu Bin asked about his family's situation and learned that the Reed family was actually a great noble that existed before the Swadia Empire. The ancient Dark Legion invaded the mainland. As one of the major forces at that time, the Reed family united many forces to repel the Dark Legion. It was a very bloody plot, but the local forces in the mainland were not easy. At that time, the elite of the major powers were completely lost, and various small and medium-sized forces started to cause chaos. The entire continent was surrounded by war. As one of the surviving major forces at that time, the Reed family was very famous among the civilians. There were not many forces willing to provoke it, but they were also vaguely excluded.

In addition to many mainland contenders, the patriarch of the Reed family also saw that if he participated in the competition, he would be criticized and would be attacked by a group of people. He simply gradually withdrew from the mainland, vigorously developed his maritime strength, and gradually evolved into one of the big crocodiles in the neutral camp. The neutral camp here is not the mercenaries in the tavern and the robber gangs robbed everywhere outside the city, but many large forces spanning multiple continents. The predecessor of the Nord Kingdom was the neutral force, the North Sea Pirate King family. When the Swadia Empire unified the continent, Hu Bin's generation of cheap ancestors also witnessed the crowning of Swadia I.

Although it took a long time, the title of guardian of the Reed family is still recorded and sung in the history books of the nobles and the songs of the minstrels. It is said that the direct descendants of the Reed family have unique bloodline characteristics, basically not the same as half-elves. They are all handsome or beautiful in appearance, and have a long lifespan. The family forces are often active in transcontinental navigation and trade, but the family territory is on an unknown island. No wonder Hu Bin came with a reward prompt of 200 as soon as he stepped on the land. All noble families also looked at this fledgling poor boy with different eyes. Hu Bin's appearance after the transformation of the half-elves' bloodline simply confirms the legendary description.

Hu Bin couldn't think of any way to make money quickly. The territory was developing rapidly, but the effect would take a long time to reflect. Although the Kujit Khanate suffered a loss, Sarand was not feeling well. It was estimated that the two countries would soon have a truce, but both countries were holding back. It would be fine if Hu Bin sneaked into the village after the war. Hakim Sultan, who returned to Shariz, specifically reminded him that if he dared to go to other countries' borders now, it would destroy the existing tacit understanding between the two countries and trigger a national war. Hu Bin, who had just tasted the sweetness, was poured down by cold water. The national war was not a joke. He had to risk all cities being sneaked into each other's territory for a melee. It was probably not necessary that no country was willing to use this method of war. After all, wars had to be beneficial. This kind of defeat-lossing is too easy to make enemies.

There are many unwritten tacit understandings in the aristocratic circle, but the most important thing is that the losses on the battlefield can only be settled on the battlefield, which will only cause small political and economic conspiracies and tricks to be considered to be weak in the family and be despised by the aristocratic circle. The aristocrats believe that the battlefield is the only sacred field that still retains fine traditions. Every victory or defeat is the arrangement of God and the demonstration of their own force. The side who actively fights with less and more will be respected by everyone and regarded as a warrior, while the side who is advantageous will often only be rewarded by their own country. Not only that, although some lords are defeated, if they are very brave on the battlefield, they will even be given heroic courtesy in the enemy country. Hu Bin also understands why the reckless man of Sega Khan can still have such great appeal. These nobles are sometimes stubborn and hateful, and sometimes stubborn and cute.

For Hu Bin, who came from the era of losing honor, these lords in the medieval era are actually much more civilized in spirit than modern times. Hu Bin was thinking hard about the way to make money. The messenger of Sultan Hakim found Hu Bin and informed him to see the Sultan. The impatient Hu Bin immediately took the troops and set off.

It has been more than a week since Hu Bin came to Sharez for the fourth time. The citizens in the city are very enthusiastic about this young and unpretentious lord. It was Mayor Wagner who brought him out of a group of alcoholics. Thanks to their help, Hu Bin delayed half an hour to come to the castle with a smell of ale, and said it was terrible along the way. He could hardly stand up, who usually only drank juice and a small amount of wine. He thought Wagner, the profiteer, was particularly cute today.

The Sultan was already waiting in the main position and teased Hu Bin that our heroic fighting madman was defeated by a group of drunkards. After Hu Bin drank a cup of hot tea and relieved the wine, the Sultan talked about the serious matter. The war between Sarand and Kujit is not suitable for continued progress, so the Sultan wanted to send Hu Bin to Kujit to sign a one-month armistice treaty.

It is almost time to get into the autumn harvest. Although the weather in the south is still very warm, the two countries that have entered winter soon do not want to miss this bumper harvest. In fact, both countries have been hitting me and I hit you in the beginning of spring in recent years. They only make wind and rain on the border. In fact, the inland has little impact. Kujit did not even participate in the war last year. However, if the troops were still in the confrontation during the autumn harvest, they would force the country to transfer labor to join the army, which would shake the country's foundation. If the troops were not replenished, the enemy would find an opportunity to take advantage of, and the losses might be even greater.

All countries that are unwilling to fight to the death actually have this concern, so once a truce treaty is made, a lord who does not abide by the agreement will be deprived of the title of nobles, and any forces that protect him will lose all the tacit protection of the nobles. The time limit of the treaty is half of one month. In fact, if there is no special situation, the two countries will not start a war for a long time after signing the contract. After all, Sarand is still facing the threat of Rodok, and the Kingdom of Vigia had a truce with the Kingdom of Nord two days ago. Kujit Khan, the evil wolf, had to pay attention to the Vigia hunters who were far more difficult to deal with than Sarand. Hu Bin thought about it and was not very dangerous. After all, the two countries did not kill the envoys when they were in war, so he took over the document and ran towards the northeast for the favorableness of the Sultan.

······

Three days later, Hu Bin arrived outside the city of Turga, the capital of Kujit Khanate, and breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, Hu Bin originally had a group of new recruits, and he relieved the robbers who fled along the way, but he upgraded many militias. However, Hu Bin saw the special horses of Kujit Khanate, and it was still a medium-sized gang of more than 20 people. Although Hu Bin, who had few cavalry, tried hard to kill the enemy, no matter what cavalry, as long as he encountered an army dominated by militia, it would be the rhythm of slaughtering rookies. Although the rookies had commands of veterans who survived the last war, he didn't even touch the spear.

How did the hung cramped militia face the charge of the cavalry? When Hu Bin and his gang killed all the enemies in front of him, they found that many infantry were killed and injured, and even two sentries with slightly stronger combat power were injured. Fortunately, after a fight, most of the militia advanced to light infantry. With a bamboo spear, they could not fight against regular cavalry, but they were more than enough to deal with these armorless cavalry. Along the way, several horse regiments were blocked by Hu Bin using dense formations to block the charge and then pulled down the horse and chopped the prisoners. Later, there were more cavalry gradually, and most of the horses could be taken away by a wave of hedging.

However, on the way to Turga, Hu Bin encountered the largest robber gang in history, with 63 people. Hu Bin unscrupulously eliminated the robbers during this period. Several robbers were united with the wind and waited to make trouble for him on the road that he wanted to make trouble for him. He secretly scolded Kujit for being lazy. Hu Bin didn't know that it was actually caused by himself when he encountered so many robbers. The side mission robber nemesis was about to be completed. Hu Bin, who was about to complete the side mission robber nemesis, should have encountered a large robber group long ago, but around Shariz and even Sa.
