102. Nine flagpoles
William gently rubbed his eyebrows, looking a little sleepy, he hadn't closed his eyes for three days.
During this time, he followed Sean's rules and completely sealed off the Kiraf Territory and the Panda Territory, prohibiting any individual or team from approaching the Gorge Rift, and those who violated the law were mercilessly slaughtered. This kind of behavior, naturally, as Sean had predicted before, quickly aroused the dissatisfaction and opposition of the entire noble class of the Dabiang Kingdom, and the response to this behavior was naturally everything.
The conservative side naturally hoped to gain a political advantage through diplomatic means, but William was not interested in this, so he handed over all of them to Neil, and in the face of Neil's lion's big mouth, almost no nobleman could accept it. Since the negotiations were unsuccessful, the old nobles or the nobles with a little background would naturally deal with it by force, so in the past two months, the military movements in the Chirav Territory, the Panda Territory, the Gorge Rift and other places have been extremely frequent, and more than 30 wars have occurred before and after.
In the case of not causing a war between the two countries, it is impossible for the nobles of the Dabiang Kingdom to mobilize their private forces on a large scale, so their infiltration and engagement behavior is completely equivalent to the behavior of meat buns beating dogs.
In just over two months, William. The name Yale became the successor to Alfred, Sean. After Connery, the third name must be remembered by the entire noble circle of the Kingdom of Dabion. It is even rumored that William has managed to enter the must-kill list of several old big families in the Kingdom of Dabion - if Alfred's extremely tough style of leading troops only makes these big nobles feel troublesome and tricky, then William's military command and layout ability make all nobles fearful.
Almost all of these great nobles are associated with a name that can be called taboo.
Asuna. G. Evans.
There are disadvantages, and there are naturally advantages.
The brilliant brilliance emitted by William with his own strength completely conceals the fact that several generals under Sean's command are growing up like crazy.
Through several battles, Aldolph has quickly developed his own tactical core ideas. He reorganized all his troops into infantry cavalry, galloped on various battlefields with excellent mobility, especially his galloping operations were extremely accurate and rapid, and each time he could become the last straw that crushed the enemy; Unlike Aldolph's maneuver tactics, Stalin was extremely good at playing defensive battles, and his troops were relatively single, but the front he opened could become a strong shield, and almost any enemy who fought him would eventually be completely dragged down by him.
Compared to the extremely distinctive characteristics of these two men, Nock is a bit mediocre, and he is not as offensive as Aldolph. The defense was inferior to Stalin's, but after several encounters, his troops had the highest survival rate and the lowest casualty rate in the entire Qirav Territory. And what is even more incredible is that no matter how critical the situation, his troops have always succeeded in saving the day. And there is almost no need to recuperate to immediately plunge into the next war.
Originally, William was still a little uneasy about handing over the entire military affairs of the Kiraf Territory to these three people, but after just over two months. William no longer doubted the abilities of the three men. It was no longer a problem for Kiraf to have the three of them in charge. Of course, this is also because these battles are almost always in skirmishes of less than two or three hundred people, but William is also happy that the stupid nobles of the kingdom of Dabion continue to send people to their deaths, because there is nothing more rapid than actual combat.
As for those who were lucky enough to escape the Kiraf line of the intertwined trio, William was not worried.
Because the next thing they will encounter will be the cavalry led by Rena, who is moving between the territory of Kiraf and the town of Panda.
A light cavalry force of 500 men. Coupled with Rena, who is at the pinnacle of silver, this is a sharp death scythe. If the confrontation with Stalin, Aldolf, and Nock was an encounter, then the encounter with Rena's cavalry was a complete one-sided slaughter.
Even if someone were lucky enough to escape both lines of defense in a row, they would be completely desperate before the third line of defense.
With the town of Panda as the core area. Spreading outward to cover the entrance to the Gap Rift was Anno and his two thousand steel wings.
With this series of strategic layouts and tactical strikes, William. Naturally, Yale's name was quickly known to the aristocratic circles of the Kingdom of Dabion, and of course there was also Sean's secret ally - Lonnis. Baron Hord is contributing to the factor. Without his advocacy and incitement, it would no longer be just William who would have entered the circle of nobility in the kingdom of Dabiang. The name Yale is just that, and even Aldolph, Stalin, Nock, Anno, Rena and others have been presented one by one.
Fortunately, William's personal slaughter order made none of the troops who were lucky enough to fight with Rena and others leave alive.
According to incomplete conservative estimates, in the past three months alone, the kingdom of Dabion has lost nearly 20,000 noble private soldiers.
And in this case, after Alfred finally returned with a large number of tens of thousands of slaves purchased from the trading capital, the kingdom of Dabion immediately stopped this senseless act of sending him to death. Not every nobleman could afford the blood money of those who died in battle, and they couldn't please anything in Alfred's absence, let alone one of the three nobles who needed to be wary of the most.
Soon, the kingdom of Dabion and Sean's territory returned to its former peace.
William is actually not too satisfied with this result, but since his opponents have chosen to retreat and hibernate, then he can't do anything more, at least after Sean doesn't come back, he doesn't want to provoke a new round of war. Moreover, after three months of large and small battles in the territory, the supply of troops is actually very scarce, so matters such as training new soldiers have become new troubles that William needs to rearrange.
However, whenever William saw Neil, his mood was much better. Because what he needs to be responsible for is only the military system belonging to Sean's territory, although the detailed assignment is a bit troublesome, but in the final analysis, it is actually a system. And he has a lot of capable people at his disposal, and anyone who is assigned can easily do it, even if one person can't do it, several people can join forces to build a defense system.
But Neil is a different story entirely.
At present, Sean has a total of three and a half territories, of which Panda and Kiraf are baronies, while Dayi is a viscount, and there is also half a viscountate. The number of people, villages, and towns in these territories is also different, and the flow of people is also different, and even the special products produced by the territories and the degree of development are also different, so each territory actually needs a completely independent and different management system.
The only thing that can be considered relatively easy. It is the Panda collar and the half of the Shaov collar. The former has been rectified by Sean, William and Cecilia before, plus there is currently a baron Ruud of the former Dabion Kingdom. Mitchlin is in charge, so Neil doesn't need to worry too much; The latter is just a castle, which has officially entered the restoration stage because of the normal supply of black steel stone. So there's no need to think too much about it.
The only ones that were problematic were the Kiraf and Dayi collars.
Neil is currently in the Dai Territory. Because this territory has the old genus of the Mitchlin family. These people are about to move, obviously not giving up, plus the prying eyes of other nobles in the kingdom of Dabion, so only Neil can really be in charge. After the fighting in the Gap Rift stopped, Anno had re-led 2,000 Iron Wings to help support the internal rebellion in the territory.
As for the Kiraf Collar, it can only be operated remotely for the time being.
Sean is in three territories. The Kiraf Territory was almost completely paralyzed - as the main battlefield of the three-month-long war, and Lonnis's previous lack of internal management, it was expected that such a situation would occur. If this were not the case, William would not have directly used this territory as the main battlefield and training site for the strategy of blockading the Gap Rift. It's just that this naturally suffers tens of thousands of people in the territory.
These can only be made up for later.
At this moment, William will be so tired that he looks decadent, and he has not even stayed up for three days because of territorial and military affairs, but because of a magical communication from Sean.
Sean set off this time, with the magic communication secret stone given by Andrew. The biggest advantage of this kind of secret stone is that it can communicate remotely without distance restrictions, of course, provided that the magic power is sufficient, which is much better than the magic communication tools currently sold by the Magic Guild, and there is no need to be afraid of being eavesdropped.
The magical communication from Sean was not complicated, and William quickly figured out the information about the Savage Lands and some things about the Gap Rift. According to Sean's letter, he needs reinforcements, but although William has figured out Sean's purpose and intentions, he can't make a proper decision right away.
At this moment, William was presented with a huge map.
Anyone who is familiar with the Panda Territory, the Dai Territory, and the Kiraf Territory will recognize at a glance that there are extremely detailed markings on these three territories on this map, which are completely accurate to one town and one village, and even some terrain that can be used as ambush points and strategic points are marked in detail, and they are also distinguished by different colors. Other than that, however, a large area of the area is completely blank, and occasionally there are a few scribbles or markings, but these areas are very rough compared to the detailed interiors of the three realms - not even the word "abbreviated" can be described.
William's fingers tapped slowly and rhythmically on the map, and his gaze fell on the small flagpole standing on the map.
Each flagpole represents an army.
There are now eight small flagpoles on the map, but before that, there were only three Alfred, Rena, and the White Wing Mercenary Regiment.
At this time, there are three small flagpoles in the Kiraf Territory, one between the Kiraf Territory and Panda Town, one on the map in the Void City, one in the Dai Territory, one in Momiji Town, and one in Panda Town.
And William also holds a small flagpole in his hand.
After a long time, William finally sighed helplessly, and reached out to insert the small flagpole into a large blank space on the map.
Almost at the same moment that William planted the little flagpole, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, there was a deep voice that was neither arrogant nor humble: "I heard that you are looking for me? β
"Yes." William nodded, and turned to look at the middle-aged man standing in front of himβhis former comrade-in-arms and now subordinate, Clof.
Clov has not changed much from before, his mental outlook is obviously much better than before, and the black heavy armor is also specially tailored later, in terms of texture, it is naturally much better than Clov's previous equipment. On the issue of the armament of the territory, both Sean and William attach great importance to it, even if they still maintain a certain degree of wariness of Cloof and the army under his command, but William and Sean did not deduct their military funds, and still gave them the same treatment as strength and status.
"I thought you'd keep me in the snow and let us be a castle defender." Clov glanced at the nine small flagpoles planted on the map, he and William were also former comrades-in-arms, and they had naturally heard of some of his habits, so it was not difficult to guess William's plan, "Say, what hard work and dirty work do you want us to do?" β
"There's a lot of hard work." William didn't care about Clauf's cynicism, and he said it bluntly.
"Goal."
"The Wild Lands." William said lightly, "The master you swore allegance to is currently in danger of his life. β
A hint of murderous intent appeared in Clov's pupils, and the whole person's momentum was vigorous, but almost as soon as this momentum was issued, it was immediately suppressed by him, because he saw a figure in the shadow corner on the left side of the tent - it was a figure sitting on a coffin. Clov knew very well that when he entered this tent, he could sweep around the corners and not find anyone, and at this moment, it was obvious that this figure suddenly appeared.
"The strength of the opponent." Clov asked in a deep voice.
"A low-ranking golden powerhouse, about a hundred or so armed mobile soldiers." William tossed a letter to Clov, "It contains detailed information that I have put together, and with the strength of you and your army, it should be fine, right?" β
"You're looking down on me." Clov took the envelope and glanced up at William, "If it's just a low-ranking gold, it's not a threat to me and my troops, although the casualties may be heavy......"
"After this battle, the troops under your command will be officially replenished." William said calmly, "I am going to expand your army to a thousand people, as for how your troops will be trained, it is your business, I will not interfere, but I hope you will not forget the agreement with the lord." β
"When are you leaving?"
"Your guide is already waiting for you outside."
Clov didn't say anything more, turned around and left the tent.
After William watched Clov leave, he also turned to look at the map on the table again, and then pulled up a small flagpole on it and reinserted it into another position. After thinking about this for a moment, William pulled up the second small flagpole again, then moved it to a certain location on the map and reinserted it, and then William nodded in satisfaction.
Bess on the side looked at the map drawn by William, looked at the distribution of flags on it, and said softly: "You are really cautious. β
"There's no way, Lord Lord's family business is too small now, so I can't handle it carefully."
"If the nobles of Dabion knew that you had such a map and these nine flagpoles on your table, I am afraid they would do whatever it took to assassinate you."
"These nine flagpoles are enough for me to play a big game of chess." (To be continued......)
