Chapter 577: I'm Here to Invade (Part I)

【First Update】

Salin said to the Marquis of Carolina: "Pompeii City will be settled by me, in fact, Your Excellency does not have to bear any pressure. The supplies I provide can be used to form new armies that can be used to train in the attack on Pompeii. But the real battlefield should be the conflict with the Holy See. ”

"Your Highness, you have only brought less than two thousand troops" Although the Marquis of Carolina admired Saleen's personal strength, it was a little difficult for one person to fight against an archduke. In his opinion, there is always a limit to human power.

"No, I brought 100,000 troops, and hundreds of ninth-level powerhouses. The territory of the Grand Duke of Pompey is not a real principality, and it can't raise too many troops, as long as the city of Pompeii is captured, everything is over. The rest is up to you. ”

The Marquis of Carolina knew that a mage would not deceive his ally with lies, but he could not see Saleen's 100,000 troops. Salin smiled, "That's a hundred thousand demon legions, absolutely loyal. ”

"Well, Your Highness Sarin, I've heard that you can mobilize demon armies with special equipment. I don't know, what else can we help?"

"Marquis, I don't care if Rex is the emperor or not, what I care about is the extent to which your support for her will reach. The war between the Holy See and Qin Yin, because the matter in Daliang City has been temporarily eased, but it will break out after all. Due to geographical reasons, Qin only borders Yunliu in the south, will you fight with Yunliu people for the sake of Rex?"

Marquis Carolina didn't think much about it, and said, "I and the other two dukes are willing to support His Royal Highness Rex to inherit the throne of Qin Yin. But the current emperor ...... In any case, it is Rex's own brother, and until he abdicates, we can only maintain the current state and will not support any decision of the prince. ”

This is clear enough, the current Emperor Qin Yin is an ordinary person, and he is not in good health, Rex is a ninth-level magician, and he can live for at least a thousand years.

"In addition to you, there are more than 300 nobles in the entire southwest, with a certain amount of military strength. How many people can you influence?"

"Two hundred and seventy-four, there is nothing to win over except these people. ”

"That's good, Qin Yin is southwest, and there are not many places bordering Yunliu, you have to make sure that you don't be attacked by those dozens of nobles behind your back, when the time comes, your enemies will come from Yunliu. ”

"Pompeii?"

"After I take it, I won't spit on Sephiroth. ”

"Your Highness, are you sure?" Carolina didn't mean to be afraid of Sephiroth, but just asked Saleen if he could hold Pompeii. Pompeii, located next to the canal, is a very important strategic city.

"Sephiroth is not the problem, the problem is the Alchemy City. As Salin said this, he paid attention to Carolina's expression. Carolina's expression did not fluctuate at all, and it was indeed a Golden Sword Saint, even if she was in awe of the mage, it was limited.

"Your Highness, Alchemy City was originally harmless to the empire, but for a long time, the empire's strength has not expanded, so there is today's situation. Carolina's point of view was new, and Salin didn't want to dig deeper into whether it was accurate, as long as the nobles like Carolina weren't afraid of Alchemy City.

Next, Salin and Carolina asked for more than 20,000 soldiers, of course, not only the marquis's, but also the other two marquises, and the soldiers who got together with the neighboring nobles. 20,000 men were to escort Saleen into the territory of the Grand Duke of Pompey, and not to say hello. If this did not anger the Grand Duke of Pompey, Salin could only write to ask for the bus to release his son.

Qin has always been rich and powerful in the south, and three marquis plus a dozen nearby nobles raised 20,000 people for Salin in one day. Of course, this has to do with preparing in advance, but the mobilization of an army of 20,000 men was so rapid that the combat effectiveness of the southern nobles was never compromised.

After staying in the city of Gauss for two days, Salin met with the southwestern nobles and signed about 300 contracts, before entering the territory of the Grand Duke of Pompey with 20,000 troops.

At this time, Salin realized the benefits of his status, because he was the king of a country and had territorial soldiers, these southwestern nobles would give him face. Otherwise, it's cooperation, and it's also a fence.

Don't look at the wars that Salin participated in in the past, which often cost millions of people, but in fact, the war of tens of thousands of people has been huge. More than 20,000 soldiers marched into the territory of the Grand Duke of Pompey, and the nobles under the Grand Duke of Pompey panicked all of a sudden.

The first to behave was a viscount who had mobilized nearly a thousand troops under his command to stop this despicable act of Saleen.

This is a blatant invasion

Salin couldn't ask for it, and commanded more than 20,000 troops to defeat the personal soldiers of these hundreds of nobles. The viscount didn't expect Saleen to really make a move, and Saleen not only did it, but also captured most of his soldiers.

The contradiction between the southwestern nobles is not too deep, but the actions of the Archduke Pompey made the southwestern nobles very dissatisfied, and in this battle, the aristocratic army of the Archduke Pompey died more than a hundred. The rest were captured by Saline and handed over to the southwestern nobles to be sent back to the territory, waiting for the end of the war to decide what to do with these captives.

The Qin Yin rarely killed captives, especially in the battles of the nobles in their own country. Although these captives were dejected, they also knew that it was better than dying on the battlefield.

Salin deliberately slowed down his journey and went straight to the coordinates of the temple, less than two thousand miles away, Salin walked for nearly ten days. This is too slow for Qin Yinren, even if it is an ordinary army.

Because Saleen had to deal with the harassing armies along the way, these armies were not large, and there were even a small number of mercenaries. Salin paid attention to controlling casualties, because it was not a life-or-death relationship with these minor nobles, these soldiers were all natives of Qinyin, and they killed too hard, which was not conducive to their future rule.

Finally, when the weather was getting a little cooler, Salin's men drove out of a city.

Salin sent a messenger and wrote a letter to the lord of the city, and in a very arrogant tone, Salin explained his intention to requisition the city for about six months, during which time the people of the city were to be evacuated outside the city, including the lord of the city, an old earl.

Then, Saleen set up a magic cannon outside the city and aimed it at various targets in the city. His magic cannon, built on an artificially erected hill, can shoot directly into the interior of the city.

The Earl read Saleen's letter and was furious. His subordinates were informed, and said to the earl: "My lord, how can Salin say that he is also a king, and it is indeed undignified to do so, but my lord, you are not an opponent." It's better to do this, you say it's okay to evacuate, ask him to compensate you for your losses. ”

The earl thought about it, although he had more than 3,000 elite soldiers, but he wanted to fight against the more than 20,000 people of the southwestern nobles, and the small nobles in front of him had proved that they were touching stones with eggs.

In the barracks outside the city, Saleen was on patrol. This Qin Yin is elite, Salin has seen it for a long time, and now that he has become a tenth-level mage, he looks at it again, and finds that he still feels like it from the bottom of his heart.

In the previous battle, Salin proved the demon's combat effectiveness, and now with the magic cannon erected, the city in front of him can definitely be taken down at a small price. In such a safe battle, the soldiers did not take it lightly, and the atmosphere in the barracks was solemn, even the soldiers who were responsible for feeding the horses could not see anything loose.

Military discipline is strict, dozens of noble soldiers form two large battalions, and the cooperation is also very skilled, and the training of these soldiers must be professional.

Sareen inspected the barracks, accompanied by the battalion general, and suddenly another soldier reported that a messenger had been sent from the city to ask for an audience with His Highness Sarin.

"No, lest I be angry and murderous, I told him so. Salin was about to send the man away, but Nellis whispered a few words in his ear, and Salin stopped the soldier again, took out a piece of paper, wrote a few lines on it with magic, and handed it to the soldier, "Let someone come into the city, and then send someone out, and I'm welcome." ”

The Earl of the city waited hard for Salin's reply, and he thought to himself that if Salin did not make amends, he would have fled, and it was unwise to fight against such a formidable enemy. Unexpectedly, Salin had come to ask for trouble, and the messenger had brought back a letter that made him want to cry.

Saleen told the Count that in order to prove his seriousness, he had decided to bombard the Lord's Mansion with a magic cannon, and Saleen gave the Count an hour to evacuate his family.

Under a few lines of words, a map was also drawn, on which the layout of the city was clearly marked, as well as the location of the city lord's mansion. Salin drew a red line around the City Lord's Mansion, and within the red line, it was the range of his attack.

"How can this be...... the Count muttered to himself in pain. He was in a daze in the face of that letter paper, the people in the city lord's mansion, he could remove them all in ten minutes, but what if there were still many treasures in the city lord's mansion?

This Salin is also too domineering, is this still an aristocracy?

On the letterhead, a magical light lit up, and in front of the Count, a line of strong handwriting emerged, flickering in the air.

"I'm here to invade, Count, so please hurry. ”

Salin's words made the Earl jump, and he shouted loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly withdraw from this damn place"

Only then did the Earl figure it out, Salin did this because he didn't intend to kill anyone. But it doesn't mean that Salin doesn't dare to kill, and Ironwall City is a good example. Although he was an earl, the city was full of 80,000 people, less than one-tenth of the size of the Iron Wall.

It took half an hour for the City Lord's Mansion to evacuate everyone. Everyone has seen the magic cannon outside the city, and at this time, everyone knows that life is precious. As for the buried treasure, the Earl can only regret that he did not store it in the Imperial Bank.

But the nobles of Count Pompey were doing this, for fear that if they put their money in the Imperial Bank, something would go wrong in the future.
