Chapter 468. Viscount Kevin's apprehension
By noon, the feed had already been prepared in Grothenburg.
A total of 8 wagons were all transported to the camp, but by this time, Fatis had already arranged for people to feed his horses, but did not continue to give the order to set off, but rested.
They were waiting for the arrival of the infantry.
The troops of the aristocratic coalition were still walking slowly behind.
Every now and then, desert bandits would scout or supervise in order to get those who had lost their high-ranking commanders to hurry up and preach the obligations they would have to face next.
That is to follow Baron Kant and seize the authority that belongs to him, the title of Grand Duke of Lion!
Of course, there are also bad checks.
Nobility!
That's right.
Fatis and Rolf have already promised.
As long as you follow Baron Kant and make war exploits, you can receive the title of nobility, and if you can achieve the final victory, there will be enough fiefs to wait for everyone, without discrimination, all of them will be rewarded!
Even if he dies in battle, he will give his family a lifelong food allocation.
Baron Kant had a mountain of salt in his hands.
It's a small amount of money.
It's a burden!
This is also the greatest confidence to coerce and lure those ordinary soldiers.
Who doesn't know that Baron Kant has salt mines, and who doesn't know that Baron Kant is so rich?
Without being too agitated, the desert bandits just explained the situation, how much money Lord Kant had, and how much money he would have in the future, and that the infantrymen who came from poor and civilian backgrounds were as loyal as if they had been brainwashed.
Modern educated people can be brainwashed by pyramid schemes.
Not to mention the dull commoners of the feudal era?
Inducement.
Often, it can burst out with a very high level of enthusiasm.
What's more, these civilians don't need to make too good wishes, just by the fanatical group effect, everyone can fall into a vision of a better future, and then develop into madness and become uncontrolled beasts!
Once you are on this path, you can't stop except to force it to end.
Whoever wants to stop is against them.
The consequences are unimaginable!
Of course, just two days later, the coalition of nobles had arrived in Grothenburg.
Supplies continued along the way, and there were few civilian infantry who fled, but most of the guys who escaped were caught up by desert bandits who belonged to the light cavalry, and easily cut off their heads in the plains and wilderness.
He hung on the reins of the desert horses, staring blankly at the godless eyes as they rode their horses.
The only remaining skull sent chills down the hearts of all who wanted to escape.
Coercion and inducement.
None of the links are missing.
But it's this simple method, but it's very effective.
The troops of the aristocratic coalition did not rest for long after arriving at Grothenburg, and were mobilized the next day.
The target is the route led by a group of light cavalry composed of the elite desert bandits, which is actually a direct route along the Lion Mountains into the Southern Commandery, preparing to attack a castle independent of the Northern Commandery.
Masburg!
The castle was ruled by Viscount Kevin.
It is located at the junction of the three counties of the North County, the South County and the East County.
To the west is the Death Mountain, to the east is the Lion Mountains, to the north is the endless barren plains of the North County Territory, to the south is the rich South County Territory Plains and Lionheart City, and to the southeast is the Lion Fort of the Grand Duke of the Lion.
It is located in a key position, and it can be said that it is the best barrier or fortress.
The north can isolate the northern county territory.
Nan Neng controls the Nanjun Territory.
The rear core center of the Duchy of Lion.
Whoever controls this place will have the initiative over the terrain of the Duchy of Lion.
And now, Viscount Kevin, who controls Masburg, naturally belongs to the Lion Grand Duke Cameron, who was once a childhood friend, and the relationship between the two sides is also extremely close, even better than that of his own brother.
There's no way, my brother can still figure out the position of the Grand Duke.
And this kind of friend doesn't.
Instead, it can be your staunch ally.
This is very strong in the Western feudal system, which is based on bloodline and title, as well as status.
It's just that the current Masburg has fallen into a dilemma, especially Viscount Kevin, who is standing above the city gate, looking at the empty appearance on the horizon, with anxiety between his eyebrows.
"Crazy?" His teeth tightened, and his fists clenched: "It's crazy! ”
Got the news from the other day.
It was confirmed by yesterday.
He really didn't expect that Baron Kant would defeat the previous aristocratic coalition.
Then with those subdued troops, they went on a rampage along the way, and they actually wanted to attack the Nanjun Territory, and under the report of the reconnaissance cavalry, there was still a day left, and they were about to come.
This was the first time that Masburg had faced a threat from the Northern Counties.
Although his mission has the meaning of monitoring the Northern County Territory.
But more.
However, when the Yinpan Kingdom captured the Nanjun Territory, as a backing and response, as well as a pivot point, it completely blocked the main force of the Yinpan Kingdom and provided a foothold for the main forces of the Lion Principality who retreated from the Nanjun Territory.
Now it's worth laughing about.
The greatest enemy, the Kingdom of the Silver Plate, did not attack.
On the contrary, it was once inadvertently, but the Northern Commandery, which was only used as a deterrent, broke out into war.
As a result, Fort Musburg was underprepared, and the military supplies that were supposed to be purchased in large quantities in South County were severely out of stock in the warehouse, after all, in the original conception, this was only a foothold and the focus of the battle.
Even the Duchy of Lion has abandoned this place, intending to retreat to the plains and fight with the Silverplate Kingdom in a cavalry field.
The Northern Commandery and the Southern Commandery are different.
The plains of the Southern Counties have been developed into fertile fields, and there are farms everywhere.
The Northern Commandery, on the other hand, is really a flat and barren plain wilderness, except for a few places where there is water to have farms or villages, and the rest of the place is simply uninhabited and uninhabited!
As for the terrain of the Northern Commandery, it is more than three times larger than that of the Southern Commandery.
It is indeed a suitable place for field warfare on the plains.
But now.
Everything has become very different.
Masburg is threatened by the forces of the Northern County Lord, and the Southern County is still in a stalemate.
Viscount Kevin had already sent out the news about the rebellion of the Northern County Commander in the first place, but the Southern County Commander had not yet sent any news back, which was undoubtedly stupid in his opinion.
Even combined with the news that I had heard before.
For example, the destruction of the sacrifices on the Mount of Execution.
It only deepened his fear.
Masburg, of course, has some links to the dark red sect on the Death Penalty Mountain.
After all, he belongs to the junction of three counties, and it would be incredible if there was no collusion.
But he didn't have too deep a relationship with the people of the Dark Red Sect, so he didn't know how this Dark Red Sect was destroyed, but thinking about the sudden change in the appearance of the nobles of the Eastern County Leader, he could guess that maybe it was the great changes in the Eastern County Leader that led to the fall of the Dark Red Sect.
But in any case, there is also a very bad situation for him, after all, he Masburg is also on the side of the East County Territory, although he is not responsible for the transportation points of the East County Territory and the South County Territory, but it can also exist as a side support.
"Could it be—" Viscount Kevin cried, "the situation is about to change?" ”
