122. Cecilia's enemies
"It's ...... What's going on? Sean was stunned.
"She is the daughter of the Grand Duke of Rumbell." William said softly, his voice very soft, as if he was reluctant to let others hear, "Principality of Rembell, do you know what to do?" ”
Sean nodded.
The Duchy of Rumbell, was a principality attached to the Empire of St. Joles. This principality is located between the St. Joels Empire and the Maggie Empire, and the territory of the Duchy is almost all plains, which is the gateway of the Maggie Empire to the St. Joels Empire, and it can be said that if the Maggie Empire wants to go to war with the St. Joels Empire, then they must set foot on this principality. But in fact, even when the game was released to the seventh expansion, the Maggie Empire was unable to set foot in the principality.
For no other reason, the St. Joels Empire has the strongest knight order in the world, the only ninth-level cavalry unit in the whole continent, pure white wings.
On the plain terrain, even the Holy Puppet Legion of the Maggie Empire did not dare to resist the frontal charge of the Pure White Wings, even if the Holy Puppet was the only level 10 army in the entire continent. But in fact, the size of this army is not huge, and it is extremely expensive to build, and the supply of troops cannot be replenished at will, so to some extent, the Holy Golem is more like a strategic deterrent than an army that can really fight on the battlefield.
"The Duchy of Rumbel, originally a vassal state of the Maggie Empire." "But two years ago, there was a massive civil strife in the Duchy of Rembell, in which Miss Cecilia's father died, and the current Grand Duke of Lember is Cecilia's uncle Beluins. Farich, who won the civil strife in the Principality of Lumber with the support of the St. Joels Empire, declared his defection to the St. Joels Empire. ”
"After this, in order to eliminate the old faction and consolidate his power, Beruins swung a butcher's knife at the family of the Grand Duke of Lombel." William sighed, "Miss Cecilia happened to be studying at the Holy Academy of Magic in the Maggie Empire at the time, so she escaped this fate. However, Beruins did not let her go, but secretly sent a team to arrest her. But Miss Cecilia may have received the news a long time ago. So he absconded very early, and then heard that Miss Cecilia was hiding in the trade capital, so the White Wing Mercenary Group was formed. ”
"White Wing...... Pure White Wings......" Sean's face showed a look of resentment, "I didn't expect the Saint Joels Empire to have also fallen." ”
"Although this unit is called White Wing, it is not a unit of the St. Joels Empire." William shook his head in denial of Sean's claims.
"Hmph, I don't believe that the Saint Joles Empire will not know about these things." The anger on Sean's face was visibly getting heavier, "Their inaction and permissiveness. That's what really led to this. ”
Regarding Sean's words, William was noncommittal: "The generals who command the White Wing Mercenary Regiment are all people from the Principality of Lunbert, and at the beginning, this force was basically soldiers of the Principality of Lunbert, but in a place like the trade capital, although there are ten major chambers of commerce pressing, all kinds of conflicts have naturally broken out in places that cannot be seen." Therefore, if the White Wing wants to develop, it can only start to absorb new blood, and today, the White Wing Mercenary Group is no longer a pure Lumber Principality Army, it is completely like a mercenary group. ”
"And you're still looking for Cecilia?"
"Because everyone who joins the White Wing Mercenary Corps will receive a notice with a portrait of Miss Cecilia on it." William replied, "If you find Cecilia, you'll get a big prize." …… This time, Cecilia was spotted. After an investigation to confirm the authenticity of the matter. We will be sent. …… If it weren't for the fact that the main force was fighting the Red Cross Cavalry Regiment of Mornes, such an army would not have been sent this time. ”
After listening to William's words. Sean fell into a kind of silence, his face gloomy, if he could, he really wanted to go back to the trade capital to settle accounts with the people of the White Wing Mercenary Regiment. It's just that he also understands that he doesn't have this ability at the moment, so after a little silence for a while, he spoke: "Don't talk to Cecilia about this." ”
"I know it." William seemed to feel uncomfortable sitting, he changed to a slightly more comfortable position, and then the whole person lay down, like a cervicano animal, lying on his stomach softly, "...... I thought you'd kill it right away. ”
Sean glanced at William and said lightly: "I don't have this ability yet, if I have this strength, I definitely don't mind killing back and causing some trouble." ”
"It's okay, it's not that stupid." As if rejoicing in something, William showed a satisfied look, "Then what are you going to do next?" ”
"Just do what you say." Sean seemed to have made up his mind, and a resolute look appeared on his face, "The large army is lurking here for the time being, and you and I will go to that elf friend and see if we can get some help from him." …… Anno, you and William go to Alfred first, tell him of my decision, and then get the captives and the steel wings ready, and we're about to leave. ”
"It's good, youchang." Anno nodded, and then left with William.
However, William, a lazy bone, didn't seem to be very willing to go by himself, so Anno carried William away like a chicken. Originally, this was a very interesting scene, but at this time, Sean couldn't laugh at all, he clasped his hands, and constantly restrained the anger rising in his heart, he thought that Cecilia was a member of the Maggie Empire, but he didn't expect that the guess from the beginning was completely deviated from the direction, and he didn't know that Cecilia was actually burdened with such a tragic life experience.
He had made up his mind that even if the sky fell, he would help Cecilia hold up. Although it collapsed today, in fact, the situation was almost the same, and now that the White Wing mercenaries had discovered Cecilia's traces, they would definitely soon cease fighting with the Red Cross Cavalry and devote all their energy to their own side. Maybe he can even cooperate with the Red Cross Cavalry Regiment, after all, the person he is ready to take refuge in is Asuna of the Principality of Lane, which means that he has already gone to the opposite side of the Kingdom of Dabion from the beginning.
The history of this life seems to be constantly changing.
After standing in place and pondering for a long time, Sean finally exhaled: "It's okay, at least I know who Cecilia's enemy is, and I won't know who my enemy is after being attacked in the future." ”
The rest of the matter is relatively simple to deal with.
Following William's idea, the troops soon continued deeper into the west of the forest, away from the battlefield that night. Later, relying on a foothill in the Angloda Mountains, he began to set up temporary camps, and the coolies were naturally those who surrendered, but Sean had promised them that as long as they could kill ten enemies in the future war, they would restore their freedom, and whether they chose to leave or continue to stay in his army, he would not stop them, and if they stayed in his army, then they could enjoy the same treatment as regular soldiers.
But for now, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, of course, they can't wear armor. And if it is not wartime, it is not possible to touch the weapon, otherwise it will be directly killed as a rebel, and after dozens of people tried to violate this order and were mercilessly ordered to be killed by William, no soldier dared to violate this rule, of course, for William, these people naturally could not have any good feelings.
Sensing the changes in the camp, Sean looked at William and asked, "You see, you killed this small group of people in order to save most of the people, but those who were saved because of you hated you, do you think it's worth it?" ”
"Nothing worth it and not worth it." William is very open to this matter, and seems to be completely indifferent, "We don't have a real base camp now, so these people don't have a sense of belonging, and war is not something that can be won or lost by just looking at the strength of the cards." We're about to leave here, and with our seat gone, there's no telling what will happen to this camp, so I gave them a chance. ”
Listening to William's words, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"Those who are really willing to surrender, they will start to try to fit into the whole, of course you can't guarantee whether they will surrender to others once defeated, but this moment is certain, they will definitely not cause you trouble." William continued to recount flatly, "As for those who are not willing to cherish the opportunity I have given them, then they are a cancer, and if left unchecked, this camp will be destroyed in their hands, so it is better to uproot it now." ”
Speaking of this, William turned his head to look at the eighteen veterans who had followed Sean all the way from Tinders, and said in a deep voice, "After we leave, this place will be under your command. When the time comes, if there are any signs of something wrong, you don't need to worry about anything, just kill without mercy, even if you kill by mistake. …… You just have to remember that there are only more than a thousand troops here, and there are nearly 4,000 of the steel wings under your command, and as long as they maintain their numerical superiority, they will never dare to make trouble, so the harder you swing your butcher's knife, the more honest they will be. ”
That night, Sean, Cecilia, Alfred, William, and Anno left the makeshift camp with a hundred steel-winged soldiers and a hundred white-winged mercenary archers, and secretly infiltrated the Duchy of Lane through the Angloda Mountains. (To be continued.) )
