Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 454 All for the Alliance

"In the past few days, more and more members of the Northern Nobles Alliance have turned to the Beiguan Border City Alliance, because compared to our indifference and lack of commitment, the conditions offered by the other party are much more generous. It's true." Maya put the information on the table and said to Howard.

"There are always people with unrealistic illusions, even if they are used as cannon fodder." Howard said after carefully reading the information about the Beiguan Border City Alliance preparing to recruit troops, he already knew the other party's plan.

"It seems that we need to fight a proxy war first." Maya is not surprised by the approach of the Beiguan Border Town Alliance. She also plans to recruit local troops to deal with the opponent's cannon fodder regiments, because only in this way can we free up our hands to deal with the enemy's main force. corps.

Although such a decision is cruel, it is very effective, but if it continues like this, it will consume a large number of the Northland Noble Alliance's population.

But I am afraid that even the Northland Noble Alliance will not care about this, because it is good for them to survive the war between the two powerful alliances.

"For some reason, the other party seems to be thinking about failure." Howard put down the intelligence, perfected the war deduction, and said to Maya.

"Oh, considering the issue of failure before the war has officially started, should I say that the other party is foresighted or too pessimistic." Maya picked up the black tea and took a sip.

"From the high spirits when we set out to the worries now, the other party has obviously encountered something during this period, otherwise there would not be such a big change in his thinking." Howard is also a commander, so he knows that such a big change in thinking must be It’s seeing the reasons for failure that are hard to ignore.

"It doesn't matter what the other party encounters. The moment they send troops, the outcome is already determined." Maya said lightly, and Howard nodded in agreement.

Even the two people with the highest status in the territory, the civil and military representatives, are not very clear about how strong the territory is. With what they know, it is difficult to solve the problem of the three major forces monopolizing the North, but it is not impossible. Therefore, My mentality has always been calm and I have been coping calmly.

The armies of both sides officially entered the Northland Noble Alliance and began to divide their forces to seize the city. As for resistance, there was basically no resistance. Surrendering when encountering the enemy was the code of conduct of the Noble Alliance. Many people wrote letters of surrender to both sides, so it was not a burden to surrender. None, even the alliance troops guarding the border obediently handed over their weapons and waited for reorganization, which shows how cooperative they are.

In fact, this is because the noble alliance has been living under the breath of two tigers. The tigers dare not open their mouths but dare to jump. When they open their mouths, what else can they do except lie down? At least no one will die this way. They are also for the alliance.

Therefore, the noble alliance also thought that since they couldn't defeat it, why not surrender early, and for the sake of stability, the treatment would definitely not be bad, but they didn't know how naive their idea was.

If it were a normal war, in order to maintain the stable territory occupied, there would definitely be no problem in giving some preferential treatment and benefits.

The problem is that the strategic goal of both sides is not to occupy the Noble Alliance at all, but they are unlucky to be between the two, so they become the first victim of the conflict between the two sides.

Because of the advantage in the territory and the two super spies planted decades ago, the Noble Alliance easily obtained six floors of land, while the Border Town Alliance, which desperately sent troops to occupy the land, only had four floors.

At this point, the Northland Noble Alliance was divided into two, belonging to both sides, and the boundaries were redrawn. It looked like a peaceful solution was to be resolved.

The whole process was neat and tidy, and no major conflicts broke out. This made the target noble alliance feel relieved. Although the family was separated, at least one person was still alive and the wealth was not lost, so they hurriedly held a banquet to please the two parties. A great emperor, trying to gain more benefits.But it seems to be over, but in fact it has just begun. Otherwise, why would both parties have made so many preparations?

The territory brought out the Border City Alliance's army not just to share the cake, and the Border City Alliance would not sit back and watch the Glory Alliance, a great enemy, gain the scarce population and slowly digest it. Therefore, it seemed calm, but in fact they were actively preparing for war.

Because they are both in the North and have frequent trade exchanges, the Glory Alliance and the Noble Alliance are relatively close. After the occupation, although the two parties took the initiative in the negotiations, the terms given were not bad, at least not for the surrenderers. Not bad.

Recognize the title of the Northland nobles and allow them to retain wealth, but the territory must be replaced, and the formation of an army is not allowed.

This is to raise them like pigs, especially changing the territory, which is almost equivalent to starting from scratch. How willing are the nobles who enjoy their current status and wealth?

But now they have completely lost the ability to resist, and can only strive for better conditions through constant wrangling and continuous banquets and gifts, and this is what they are good at.

During the hard-fought battle here, the actions of the Border Town Alliance were much cleaner and neater. All the aristocratic councilors in the occupied area were wiped out in one banquet. Then they ransacked their homes and took over the army and administration. They looked like they had planned it in advance. The noble councilors all looked confused. They wondered why the people in the Border Town Alliance changed their minds so quickly.
It's just that none of the promises he made before were fulfilled, and he still treats them all at once. This means he no longer intends to be a human being! ?

In fact, it is not that the Border Town Alliance does not want to use gentle methods to retain the value of the occupied areas as much as possible. This is the way to maximize profits. However, Cross has changed his strategy from simple occupation to dealing with the great enemy of the Glory Alliance, so even for this It won't change even if it costs a lot of money.

Originally, this strategic change was not accepted by the Border Town Alliance War Council. After all, doing so would not only lose huge future benefits, but also cause huge battle losses to the army.

But after seeing the evidence presented by Cross and Master Eugene's comments, the War Council fell silent and finally acquiesced to Cross's next actions.

Cross knows very well what the price of acquiescence is, that is, nothing will happen if you win, and you will be ruined if you fail.

"Now that you have made up your mind, let's do it." Master Eugene actually does not agree with a full-scale war with the Glory Alliance, but he cannot convince his colleagues, and naturally he cannot convince Cross and the War Council, so he only plans to do what he should However, when it was time to express his attitude, he would not sit idly by and do nothing, otherwise he would not testify for Cross in the war council.

"Everything is for the alliance." I don't know if he gained strength from Master Eugene's words. After taking a deep breath, Cross began to issue orders continuously to get his huge legion to move.

The wealth gained from confiscating the house was sent back to the Border Town Alliance without reservation by Cross in exchange for military supplies in the combat readiness warehouse and more reserve corps. At the same time, he also gave a portion to the professional corps to express his goodwill, because Their full support will be needed in the coming war.

With the handover of this wealth, all Cross' actions went very smoothly. The War Council did not impose any restrictions on him, so he began to vigorously enforce conscription.
