Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 111 The old king overwhelmed everything

In the early morning of winter, the dry and cold air came from the distant wilderness.

After breakfast, he put on his armor, and the servant brought Shire's mount, a tall horse, pure black and flawless, and the black horse panted heavily, and white mist rose up.

Charles looked at Fina and said quite freely: "Okay, let's go back, it's really cold outside."

"Ah."

Seeing Fina return to the house, Charles' expression gradually turned serious.He didn't want Fina to worry, because she couldn't help much and could only stay at home and think wildly.

Considering that he could only bring one guard, Charles chose Rice, who was highly skilled in martial arts, for his own safety.

The two rode their horses and galloped towards Pella City. They planned to go to Wangcheng to find a large army.

The cold winter has not yet passed, and there is no one in the vast and boundless fields, only the sound of horseshoes in the silent fields, and the conversation between Charles and Les.

The sound of the conversation between the two was transmitted far in the wilderness.

"Les, have you figured out your family's name?"

"Master, it's already ready."

His family name had already been determined in the Calla Lily Flower Territory, but the young master had said before that his fief was the Clivia Territory, and he had to conquer it himself.Blood is the badge of nobility.He was already ready to attack the Clivia leader.

"The Iris infantry also needs to be pulled out to practice and see blood, otherwise they will always be recruits and will never have combat effectiveness."

"Thank you Lord Lord."

Thinking of the upcoming hunting conference, Charles felt a little strange, "Les, have you ever participated in hunting?"

"Of course, young master. I was honored to be a guard when the master accompanied Earl Keith to hunt."

Charles was overjoyed. Experience is good. After all, this hunting meeting revealed unusual meanings everywhere, and it was almost an accident.He has no purpose, just to keep himself safe, and if he meets Earl Bram and the opportunity is right, he will not be relentless.

The two arrived in Pella City in a short while, and soon found the large army of the hunting conference.

Charles saw a mixed regiment of knights and infantry lined up outside the east gate of Pella City.

This should be the Palace Guard Corps, because not long ago, Charles had seen the Royal First Knights and the Royal First Infantry go to Correa Forest to prepare.

Therefore, this well-equipped mixed army of knights and infantry in front of them should be the palace guards guarding the castle of Aquinas and the city of Pella.

Charles found Knight Bernard in the large army, and he was talking with Earl William from the Duchy of Luma.

Charles brought Rice closer, and the three of them started chatting, and they talked about the military strength of the Aquinax family.

Earl William looked at the well-equipped palace guards and said, "Although this regiment is well-equipped, its combat effectiveness may not be comparable to the Royal First Infantry and Knights stationed outside."

"No, Earl William, this corps will from time to time draw elite knights and infantry regiments stationed at the border.

Although they experienced few battles after becoming palace guards, maybe this regiment will be stronger because they are all elite veterans. "

The two seemed to ignore Shire during the conversation, and exposed many inside stories about the Aquinacos family, Luma Principality, and Sukale Principality to Charles.For example, the inside story of Luma Principality's conscription, the Sukale Principality's expansion of knights, and the weakness of the Royal Second Knights of the Artem Principality.

After a while, with the arrival of Earl Violet, Earl Geithner, and the three princes, the topic of the two finally shifted from military affairs to Charles.

Earl William praised: "Earl Shire, I would like to interrupt you. It is a noble virtue to return gifts. To be honest, I think your iris ale is going crazy.

What you may not know, Knight Bernard has been showing me that he has won the friendship of the Iris family. I don’t know if the William family has such an honor. "

Charles tactfully replied: "Of course, it is also an honor for the Iris family."

But Bernard on the side quit, "Hey, Earl Shire, don't you have no iris ale?"

Looking at the alcoholic Bernard Knight, Charles explained helplessly: "Before the opening of the wine shop, Earl Radjoyane William sent a lot of wine from the Principality of Luma, so I would naturally prepare it for him in advance. A gift."

After explaining, Charles saw that the nobles from the Principality of Artem had almost arrived, so he bid farewell to the two of them, and then walked to the vicinity of the eldest prince Andres.

Charles glanced at him, and saw that all the powerful Earls of the Principality of Artem were present, as well as the inner court nobles, such as Earl Bram who wanted to eat his meat, the diplomat Earl Declan Wayne, and the political officer Habib Bo pause.The small nobles in Pella City came less than before.

His eyes lingered on Earl Bram for a little longer, because Earl Bram looked at him with anger, but it didn't mean crazy, but revealed a bit of complacency, and the god stone in Charles' heart also trembled slightly. .

At that time, be more careful, because Earl Bram didn't hold his fart.If it's convenient, you can kill him easily.

While Charles was thinking wildly, there was a sudden exclamation from the crowd, and a luxuriously decorated carriage slowly drove out of the east gate of Pella City.The gilt car frame, the car curtain made of white gauze and silk, and two pure white tall horses paced leisurely in front.

The old king Ashuraf has arrived.

"Set off."

The neatly lined palace guard corps raised the flag of the Aquinacos family, the gold-plated flagpole pointed straight to the sky, and the complicated and exquisite tassels were flying in the cold wind.The knights raised their spears and marched slowly.The king's carriage was behind the knight, accompanied by the nobles in the royal city.The infantry regiment followed closely behind, and the sound of orderly steps was deafening.

There were no blind people disturbing the road. In fact, a few days before the hunting meeting, General Newt had led people to clean up the area.

Although the vanguard had already opened the way, perhaps because of the health of the old king, the group of them did not move fast. They set off around noon and arrived slowly when the sun was about to set.General Newt had already been waiting near Correa Forest.

Since the Aquinacos family has held hunting in the Correa Forest more than once, the supporting facilities near the Correa Forest are all available, especially the house where the king lives, which is even more luxurious.

But other people are not sure. The earls still have wooden houses to live in. As for the little nobles in the royal city, General Newt has already set up tents for them.Although simple, it has all internal organs.

Although their speed is not fast, riding on a horse all the time will make people feel very tired, and there will be more energy-intensive hunting tomorrow. The nobles who have no entertainment at night have eaten the dinner prepared by General Newt. After that, they all returned to the house to prepare to rest.

Inside Charles' cabin.Charles and Rice were chatting.

"Les, what is the strength of this palace guard?"

"Master, they are all veterans who have seen blood, and all of them have at least one piece of leather armor. They are well-deserved elites. And those knights are very good at riding. Even if they were not trained as knights since childhood, they are cavalry who fight all the year round. "

It is undoubtedly a sad thing to find that the Aquinax family is stronger than before, but this also inspired Shire's fighting spirit. He believes that as long as the serfs' fighting spirit can be fully utilized and the land is awarded with military merit, the mere Aquinax The family is nothing more than a paper tiger.

If the Principality of Artem officially develops a full-time army and trains knights and soldiers in an organized system, it is already at the forefront of the Principality of Sukale and the Principality of Luma, but what Shire needs to do is to abolish slavery and enfeoffment. centralization.Even if the strength of Shire's fleur-de-lis collar is far inferior to that of the Aquinacos family on paper, Shire's war mobilization ability is beyond their ability to catch up on horseback.

At the same time, inside the big prince's room.There were no candles lit in the room, and Knight Commander Gaius Melo and Andres hid in the shadows.

"Your Highness, do you really want to do this? Then your biggest secret will be exposed."

Gaius Mello added, And the source of your pain.

"Why not, isn't any relationship just for use? Since the father and the king provided this opportunity, what else can compare to directly putting someone to death.

It doesn't matter after a person dies, and who will go to war for him. "

Thinking of this, Andres felt a pain in his heart. He thought of his illegitimate children dying one by one, and now he still had to cooperate with the murderer. After all, he still lived the way he most despised.

Through the moonlight, Gaius saw Andres' eyes were bloodshot, the corners of his mouth were split, and his face was full of a hideous smile.The eldest prince fell into a state of madness again, he quickly lowered his head.

Time passed quickly, there was a large army stationed, and nothing started at night.As the morning sun shines on the earth, neatly dressed nobles came out of tents or wooden houses one after another.

Charles led Les out of the cabin, and the eldest prince also walked out of the cabin. The eldest prince looked at Charles with a peaceful face and a smile.

Charles was the first to speak, "Your Highness, today's weather is fine and suitable for hunting."

"Yes, Earl of Shire, but let's go to breakfast. Only when we have enough energy can we go hunting."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The two walked outside together. The chefs had already set up one big pot after another, and the strong smell of meat wafted throughout the camp.

The old king, Ashuraf, seemed to have woken up a long time ago. He was leaning back on the chair, and there was a small wooden table in front of him. There were knives and forks on the wooden table.

At this time, beside the king, the second and third princes were already in place. The eldest prince said sorry in a low voice, and then walked towards that side quickly.

Does breakfast need to be so formal? Charles looked for his own seat with doubts.

The king sat upright in the east, surrounded by the small wooden tables of the three princes.Then it is estimated that it belonged to a group of inner court earls, because Charles saw Earl Declan Wayne and Earl Bram, and further west, it was estimated to belong to them, because he saw Earl Violet, Knight Bernard and Earl William.In the west is a group of scattered wooden tables. Although the table is larger than them, it has two cushions.Obviously, these little nobles cannot have a table to themselves.

Charles walked quickly to Earl William and Knight Bernard. For some reason, there was no one beside them. Charles chose a small wooden table next to them.

As soon as he sat down, Charles heard Earl William complain, "The Duchy of Artem is really terrible. I really can't understand why I have to drink broth in the morning, and it looks like there is barbecue. I don't expect the Duchy of Artem to have Fresh fruit, but at least a glass of milk.

Fortunately, we still have knives and forks, so we don't have to use our hands to take the bread.

And our position, we are envoys on behalf of Luma Principality and Sukale Principality, the king of Artem Principality is really too arrogant. "

Seeing Charles coming, Earl William explained: "Count Charles, I am not targeting you, but the fact is that we have indeed suffered unfair treatment.

And your habits are a bit different from those of the Luma Principality, at least none of the nobles in the Luma Principality would drink broth in the morning. "

Indeed, to classify Earl William and Knight Bernard with them is undoubtedly a contempt for the Principality of Luma and Sukale.And drinking broth in the morning is indeed very meaty, not as comfortable as a glass of milk.

Charle thought that the Duke of Sukale would be insulted, and Knight Bernard would be furious, but Bernard controlled his anger, and he solemnly said: "The dignity of the Principality of Sukale does not need charity, only a long sword And blood can bring dignity to Sukale."

But Charles could tell that there was anger in Bernard's eyes, but it should be anger at the weakness of Sukale Principality.

Charles was a little happy in his heart. What he was happy about was that Bernard was not a reckless man, he could control his anger, and he was a proud person, so humiliation could make him work hard, and he would be the leader of the Principality of Artem. A mighty enemy is also a mighty ally.

He really wanted to add, yes, Knight Bernard, the dignity of a weak country comes from charity.You should use war to win the dignity of Sukale Principality, but considering some schadenfreude, Charles didn't speak.

Time passed slowly, and when all the nobles were sitting in their seats, the old king said slowly, "Gentlemen, good morning, please forgive me for not being able to stand up and speak.

Today is the hunting convention held in the Principality of Artem, but before that, we have a special show to watch. "

The passionate and loud charging horn sounded soaring into the sky, and then a deafening sound of horseshoes sounded from a distance, and the earth seemed to be trembling.

Charles raised his eyes and saw a group of knights appeared at the end of the distance. Charles could only see a group of black iron shadows. When they got closer, Charles saw their true colors clearly. They were fully armed knights. They are all head to toe, and even the black horse that steps down is covered with a layer of armor.They all wore masks and helmets on their faces, only the eyes leaked out.

Behind them are light knights with long spears like a forest, and knights in cloth armor, their spears gleaming coldly pierced into the sky, with a cold chill.The horseshoes on the ground made a loud bang, and rushed forward with an unstoppable momentum.The raised dust billowed and surged like a sea tide, making people daunting and creepy.

Behind the knights are boundless infantry, brightly colored banners fluttering in the wind under the sky, they are walking in neat steps, densely packed spears thrusting upwards, like a huge hedgehog covered in thorns.The soldiers seemed to have indifferent faces without a trace of emotion.Their eyes were straight ahead, as if there was nothing worthy of their attention.

This kind of training is definitely not out of training, and the Aquinakes family does not have this kind of training program, so there is only one possibility, these are veterans who crawled out of the dead.They don't look sideways because there is nothing worthy of their attention.

Earl William beside Shire's eyes widened and his mouth was as big as an egg. The nobles of the long-peaceful Duchy of Luma almost had this reaction when they saw such an army of tigers and wolves.Charles saw genuine fear in his eyes.

Charles looked at Knight Bernard, the famous murderer among the Western sand people also had a dignified face at this time, Charles followed his gaze, and Knight Bernard's eyes were fixed on the pace behind him. corps.After a while, he sighed.

Obviously, Knight Bernard, who has enough military experience, naturally understands the gold content of this army.

At last the knights and soldiers stood in the great clearing before the king.

The old king Ashuraf put his hands on the chair and struggled to stand up. His old eyes looked at the soldiers in front of him.

"Warriors of the Aquinacos family, you conquered Sukale Principality in the west, and scared Luma Principality to hide in the south. You have achieved great military exploits and are well-known in the Glory Continent.

I am proud of you, my warriors. "

General Newt, Commander of the Royal First Knights, General Chaudhry Tolles, Commander of the Royal First Infantry, the knights on horseback, and the infantry standing on the ground all raised their heads proudly.

The old king Ashuraf in front of him is not only a king, but also their creator, leading them to fight in the north and south.He is what they believe in.The direction he pointed was where their battle front was heading.

"Mighty, Your Majesty the King."

I don't know who yelled first, and then there was an overwhelming roar, and the huge sound wave rushed towards them like a tsunami tens of meters away.

Shire felt chills in his heart, the old king Ashuraf's control over the army was beyond his imagination.

The old king Ashuraf stood upright and looked down. Everyone he saw, whether it was the inner court count or the real power count, all lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.A group of nobles in Pella City were even more disfigured, and some even slipped and fell to the ground.

He turned his eyes to his sons.His eyes swept over Andres, Enkata, and Xavier.

Andres looked at him with dissatisfaction in his eyes, Enkata seemed indifferent, and Xavier lowered his head a little guilty.

The old king Ashuraf called Butters and whispered, "My mausoleum will be bigger by then, and I'll be a little lonely by myself."

Butters' heart trembled, various thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally his face returned to calm. "Yes, sir."

But he secretly glanced at the third prince, with a trace of pity in his eyes.
