The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 603 A Rare Tranquil Time

In Dherim City, in the upper bedroom of the lord's hall, Zhang Qiang is taking care of Delina attentively. The pregnant woman is extremely beautiful, and she is easy to think too much. She often acts like a baby and loses her temper, but Zhang Qiang is very happy. How many men is this? At the moment of hope, a woman who gave birth to a child for herself, her every frown, every smile, every anger and anger made Zhang Qiang feel deep in his bones.

Although the entire Calradia continent has been mired in chaotic wars in autumn, the lords who rebelled for various inexplicable reasons, the earls who are looking for opportunities to fight, and the knights, barons, and viscounts who are seeking to improve their status. They, as well as the kings who looked and guessed behind the marshals who went out with all kinds of eyes, they always don't trust their marshals, and they are always not easy to trust those lords far away on the frontier, and the restoration of various places is turbulent. The tide makes this continent like a boiling hot pot.

A few days ago, Rod Laboye sent someone to contact him, hoping that he would abide by the alliance agreement and send troops to help him resist the Vikia Kingdom's conquest, but he did not openly rebel against the Vikia Kingdom. In other words, this is only the Vikia Kingdom's own business He, Zhang Qiang, is still the lord of the Kingdom of Swadia. If he wants to send troops, he can only send mercenaries instead of carrying a banner and rushing to help him fight hand-to-hand with King Jaloger's Vekia army.

When he was in trouble, Zhang Qiang even planned to betray the Kingdom of Swadia immediately and then stand on his own, so that he could help his father-in-law in the name of the new king.

But finally think about it, Rod Lapoye is also a kingdom, and the two kingdoms are so close, if he eliminates King Jaloger and becomes the king of the new kingdom, Zhang Qiang's territory will be directly in front of his soldiers. Trembling, it's not that he can't beat him, but that he is waiting to be done. After experiencing the civil strife in the Kingdom of Swadia, his territory has suffered heavy losses. Now he is trying to avoid war and recuperate.

The good thing is that he knows that Rod Laboye is not completely without the power to resist, but he wants to be safer. If he drags Zhang Qiang and attacks from both sides, he will be more sure of defeating King Jaloger.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Qiang decided to just support Rod Laboye with some soldiers and supplies, and not directly participate in the other party's civil strife. When his territory was directly attacked by the Swadia Empire, Rod Laboye would It is not that the son is completely entangled with King Jaloger, and has no troops to support him.

Maybe, at that time, he had the same idea as Zhang Qiang now, maybe he was still afraid of the fighting power of the lords and troops of the Swadia Empire.

As Zhang Qiang said long ago, the Vikians were too weak and barren. In the past, when they fought against the Kingdom of Swadia, they always attacked suddenly at the end of the war cycle, took down a castle, and then negotiated peace immediately. Cease the war and maintain the victory, and the Kingdom of Swadia always ignores them because of its troubles. Even if it takes the initiative to fight with them once or twice, it is still worthwhile to regain the occupied castle, and it has to deal with the problems of other kingdoms. war.

Therefore, the main target of Wikia's battle is not the Kingdom of Swadia. Swadia's stubborn dog, even though many lords' desire for territory is like an old woman who has been in drought for a long time, they don't want the territory of the frozen Vekia Kingdom.

These thoughts cannot let Delina know that this is not the time to offend her. Zhang Qiang's hopes for the rest of his life are all pinned on Delina.

Based on the above ideas and reasons, Zhang Qiang has been sitting on the mountain and watching tigers fight these days. Another thing is that the current ownership of Dherim City has not yet been clarified. But it has been more than half a month since King Harlaus replied, and there is still no news, and I don’t know what he thinks about it. According to Zhang Qiang’s thinking, King Harlaus probably doesn’t want to seal the city of Dherim to He, and perhaps many earls and lords from other kingdoms who have just joined in the service, are in a fierce dispute over the ownership of Dherim City, and they are engaged in frequent activities, but Zhang Qiang ignores it. It's only because of his strength that he didn't want to throw it to anyone.

After serving De Ruina, Zhang Qiang took his guards and patrolled the city. The traces of the war are disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Many places have returned to their original appearance. People began to take to the streets and started their ordinary lives.

The streets are bustling with people. Generally speaking, these people are still very decadent in spirit, and their clothes are still very tattered. Some are wrapped in a yellow linen, and some are dressed in tatters, like clowns. There are snail hats, dangling looking for work, and adventurers with swords and shields on their backs, leading small yellow-brown ponies looking for inns, and vendors hawking along the street.

Groups of security militiamen in commoner clothes, holding bamboo poles and spears, and carrying crossbow arrows shuttle back and forth, and even have distinctive armor. They cross the street from time to time, and their neat steps will slap the dilapidated and muddy bluestone road. Shouting infantry and light infantry, plus city guard patrols made up of Swadian crossbowmen.

There is a weapon shop with a signboard in the distance, a horse market with noisy mules and horses neighing, and the clanging sound of hammers and hammers hammering iron. There are also some merchants pushing wheelbarrows to deliver goods to various shops. , Of course, street girls who wear better coarse clothes, peddle along the street and solicit customers are indispensable.

There are all kinds of people, there are nobles and elders in silk and satin, there are mercenaries walking slowly on war horses, there are Kugits, Swadians, Vikians, and one or two Norsemen. A spy dressed as a German, poking around the damp and dark alley.

The largest number of people are the soldiers who often pass through the streets wearing the standard military uniforms and armors of the Kingdom of Swadia.
With the city guards guarding the city and Zhang Qiang's newly recruited militia, there are not only more than 3 citizens in the whole city, but also foreign businessmen, adventurers, mercenaries, and more than 3000 elite troops directly under Zhang Qiang.These people add up to more than 5 people.

When he came to the barracks, Zhang Qiang watched the cavalry unit being trained. The Kujit militiamen, who had put on the fish-scale armor of the riders of the Swadian Kingdom, were training. After half a month of training, they are now qualified Swadi soldiers. Sub-Kingdom cavalry soldiers.

Training in another field is a team of newly recruited mercenary cavalry units. They also put on the cavalry equipment of the Kingdom of Swadia and are training hard.

In the stables on the other side of the venue, the cavalrymen, cavalry, and heavy cavalry of the Kingdom of Swadia, and Zhang Qiang’s cavalry unit led by Fatis, are repairing saddles, feeding horses, and combing the body and hair of the horses. Take a look from a distance.

The cuirassiers of the Kingdom of Swadia are generally no longer in the barracks here, but in the stable barracks of the inner castle. Those high-level cavalry are either the cavalry of Zhang Qiang’s general guard, or they have been promoted to the cavalry commander and are responsible for leading the cavalry. They have obtained a piece of territory alone, and are currently cultivating in their own territory. They have their own knights and servants. When they need it, Zhang Qiang will call them to assemble. When they don’t need it, they are farmers in the territory, manor owners, and have their own lives. .

Rolf followed Zhang Qiang and saw the cavalry who were training hard, he said to Zhang Qiang: "A total of 200 cavalry, plus the [-] cavalry of your guard, plus those cavalry knights up to more than [-], we already have a total of [-] cavalry. Six thousand cavalry. This is a powerful fighting force. Maybe we should let them perform their duties and fight. Instead of consuming food and supplies here every day, while consuming excess energy and physical strength, and getting drunk every night On those women."
