Chapter 575 Borrowing Troops
One week later, July 3th.

The northern city was still in a tense situation. Sixty thousand Kingdom troops were stationed around the area, more than twenty thousand stone-eating apes and snake men guarded the city, and more than a thousand and a half dragons supported the defense nodes. After both sides attacked and defended once, Lord Lei Wen gave up. He plans to continue the attack. If the soldier dies, not even the royal family can save him. The current evaluation is mixed.

In the evening of the same day, a regular-looking army arrived, which initially aroused high alert among the surrounding soldiers because there were hundreds of goatmen seen.

This is a main force with nearly 10,000 soldiers. The royal army, thieves, adventurers, and demi-humans are all mixed together. It is impossible to figure out the specific composition. The armor rate is even higher than the current siege force. There are more than 4,000 cavalry, and the goatmen alone are That's more than 70%.

Jiang Yuan ordered to stay in place and build a camp. After defending the city and hunting during this period, his overall level rose to deviant LV51, and advanced professional Soul Sword Guard LV9.

Royal guards wearing shining silver armor came to communicate. After learning that this army came from Ulowar's territory, someone was invited to enter the Chinese army's tent.

The blazing bonfires dispersed the cold air of late winter. On the war sandbox, from the northeast to the northern city, noteworthy armed organizations were uprooted, and the instigators had just stepped into the tent.

Marquis Lei Wen stood in front of the sand table and lowered his eyes in silence. He had shining blond hair. Because he didn't get much exposure to the sun, his skin was unhealthy and pale. He looked older than his actual age, making people think of a sinister snake. Wearing a highly decorated high-end dress, he looks out of place as a soldier in the army.

This man was originally an ambitious man who wanted to usurp the royal family, but he completely collapsed after the birth of his child and turned into a father who was super worried about his children. His personality changed dramatically, which even made his wife wonder if he had gone crazy. ".

In order for the children to successfully inherit the territory, the kingdom must exist, so he is the most determined supporter of the king.

Next to them are five personal guards with comprehensive levels between LV30 and LV35.

"I have admired the name of the Black Knight for a long time."

Seeing the visitor, Lord Lei Wen took the initiative to say hello. During this time, the sentinel knights had discovered that the black knights under the Red Earl had shown no less than heroic strength in the battle.

"You are here, then who is in the hub city?" Jiang Yuan asked calmly.

"That place has been temporarily handed over to His Highness the Second Prince." Marquis Lei Wen did not hide anything and answered, "The Marquis of the North died, and the royal family needs the full support of the new nobles. It is not so much a negotiation, but a blind date. Maybe your Excellency From now on, he will stand on the same front as me, but it may not go well. After all, the first prince has always been the leader of the nobles who support the king, and no one can replace him. "

Jiang Yuan nodded. In the two northern battles, half of the four knights directly under the royal family were defeated. Now there is an urgent need for external support to maintain the stability of the situation. This is nothing more than a boring re-division of future interests before the war is over. He has seen this kind of thing too many times and has long lost interest in studying it further.

"The goatmen brought by your Excellency are very useful. We may try to organize another attack." Marquis Lei Wen said that the troops brought by the other party have little connection with the nobles and can fully serve as the vanguard and main force of the battle, that is, cannon fodder.

"I came here not to attack the city, but to borrow troops." Jiang Yuan said frankly.

"Borrowing troops?" Hou Lei Wen was lost in thought.

"The focus of the war is no longer just an isolated city. The reason it was set up here is to continue to wear down the endurance of the Royal Army and prevent it from moving north to intervene in the war. In short, it is a costly abandonment. The real winner should be Returning to the Great Wall on the border and concentrating all our efforts to defeat the Holy Kingdom forces is the key to reversing the situation in one fell swoop."

"Why do you see this?"

"Because the Royal Kingdom's army was indeed stopped at the city gate." "What if the demi-humans didn't plot against the Holy Kingdom's troops."

"The fact that the enemy did not expect it is not the reason for the general not to take precautions."

After a long silence, Marquis Lei Wen said with a difficult expression: "I'm extremely sorry, Your Excellency, what you said makes sense, but I can't send troops to the buffer zone. The soldiers no longer have much courage to fight against the demi-humans. I also I can't bear the price of your failure. There is no trust between us, and the nobles are not all long-sighted guys."

"Then give me all the horses." Jiang Yuan told his true purpose. He actually didn't want noble soldiers to join his army.

"The horses are their treasures..."

"How to deal with the aftermath is your problem. Once the Holy Kingdom is unable to fight anymore, the entire war will evolve into a simple duel between the enemy and ourselves. The probabilities of victory and defeat are very different. To a certain extent, the kingdom must exist."

Marquis Lei Wen involuntarily tapped the edge of the sand table with his fingers. The kingdom must exist. This was his bottom line, and the guy who could say this was probably not a loyal minister.

"Four thousand horses, this is the limit I can provide."

"Our department will set off tomorrow."

With such a large number of horses, even the king could not ignore it. This great nobleman had made up his mind. Both sides knew that as long as the demi-humans in the buffer zone were defeated, the northern city would lose its meaning. At that time, they would just "open one side of the net" and insist on Naturally, the city collapsed without attack. The strategic direction of the royal army was to recover the land, not to annihilate the demi-humans.

……

The next day, the sun rises.

Jiang Yuan left a troop of nearly 2,000 men stationed there and set off with only 8,000 cavalrymen. They headed not towards the north but towards the west which was still in great chaos. They did not stop until they arrived at a large village.

An order was issued to the whole army. Each department was disbanded on the spot, and a team of a hundred people was allowed to go out freely. After three days, they returned to the assembly. During the introduction, the official positions were re-determined based on the number of soldiers under their command. Five hundred people were called cavalry officers, and two thousand people were cavalry officers. Knight, if you can bring back five thousand people, you will be appointed knight commander immediately.

Someone, in the capacity of the earl's brother, promised that the appointment would remain valid after returning to the territory. Generally, if one becomes a knight, one can obtain the corresponding knight territory and transform oneself into a noble. As expected, Priscilla's duchy territory is not short of this little land at all.

The army immediately dispersed. Now the west of the Northland is full of broken soldiers, villagers, and thieves. If someone has no quality limit, it is not too difficult to catch someone casually and sneak into a cavalry officer.

In front of the two-story wooden house in the center of the village, the cavalry captain did not go out. He had been appointed deputy commander a while ago.

"Avoid it." Jiang Yuan said.

"Yes, sir." The deputy commander looked a little confused, but he still carried out the order regardless of the reason. When they first came out more than ten days ago, there were only a hundred people, but in the blink of an eye, they became an army of ten thousand people, growing from nothing. The man in front of him had won dozens of games in a row and had long been regarded as an undefeated figure by the soldiers.
