Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

After learning that the Fortress of Serektor was conquered by Richard and Altamund together, King Deter, who entered the castle, praised the two and other nobles also used With friendly eyes, he looked at Richard, the leader of this battle. Most of them have heard of Richard’s name from the population before. Now that they have seen him with their own eyes, the other party has made such a great contribution, and their hearts can’t help but feel a touch of goodwill. .

Especially the couple Valmond and Ingertrud. They never thought that Richard was so good. They gave birth to the idea of ​​soliciting privately. It’s a pity that they didn’t have a heir. Otherwise, they would still Richard can join their family through regular marriages.

Thinking of this, the two of them felt sorry for a while. Such a good person was obviously they met first, but then they would be taken away by other families.

The King Deterre then asked how the two men won a strong castle with more than 300 defenders with less than 700 troops and a small casualty. Altamund used Richard A little bit ashamed to speak out about his despicable strategy, let Richard explain it himself. Richard also did not shy away from it, publicly telling himself about the process from discovering the ambush set by Yastyon’s subordinates and ending with attacking the castle without omission and in detail.

After listening to Richard’s remarks, everyone looked strange. Although they knew that Richard was just a mercenary head, his style of acting would be like those peasants, but he didn’t expect Richard to be so. Cunning, even using the ring of the nobility to trick the defenders out of the city for annihilation can be imagined.

But I have to say that Richard’s despicable plan is indeed useful. If they are in command, they will either use their superior force to attack or keep surrounded until the defenders have eaten the stored food. Surrender yourself when you are too hungry.

At this moment, some aristocrats who were not so pedantic in their minds silently remembered Richard’s strategy used in battle, and prepared to try it later. If this really works, it would be a good idea. Tactics.

“cough cough…”

De Taille coughed dryly, interrupting the solidified atmosphere at the scene, and said: “Richard, you… did a good job, but this It’s okay to use one or two times for the trick. Once you get it, it’s easy to be seen through by the enemy, so it’s better not to use it often.”

“I understand, King Your Majesty.” Richard replied , He naturally heard Deterre’s unspoken implication, just want him to use such “despicable” tactics less, but his words are not unreasonable, this kind of low-level tactics use one or two times just fine, if it is It was learned by the empires that they would definitely implement some new military regulations to prevent this strategy.

Seeing that Richard categorically agreed, Deterre nodded, he remembered one more thing, and asked: “Oh, yes, I heard you just said that you captured Yastyon?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Richard replied, “He is being held in a dungeon by me at this time. If you want to see him, I will order someone to bring him here.”

Deterre shook the head, said with a smile: “No, Yastigon is your captive, and you are up to you to decide what you want to do with it. But Richard, I want to remind you, Father of Yastyon It is Apis, the richest noble in the Western Empire. You can write to him and ask him to pay a huge ransom to redeem Yastigon.”

Richard pupil light moved slightly, Unexpectedly, Astion’s father was so rich. He has never heard of Astion’s mention. Since his father Apis is so rich, then Richard can use this fiercely to blackmail a sum of money to get them to pay. blood.

……

Next, Deter did not continue to talk to Richard and the others. The nobles followed the king to live in the Naiburg, preparing to refurbish the castle for a day, 2nd day Then decide on the future deployment of war.

That night, Richard called Khalid into his room and asked about the horrible things Khalid said during the day.

“Khalid, are you sure you saw Alari Prince in Winjid’s camp?”

In the face of Richard’s question, Khalid also knew This matter was not trivial. He replied with certainty: “Yes, at that time, Winjid was destroying the rebels around Guyaz. Alari did appear in his camp. My tribe and I accepted the Sultan’s summon. I just witnessed all this when I was out of the camp.”

“But, how can you hear their conversation? Normally, talking about this kind of thing will lower your voice and prevent others from hearing it.” Richard was puzzled. Asked indifferently.

“I was the escort selected by Gilard at the time. Lord Gilard wanted to meet the Sultan, so I went with him.” Khalid explained, “Perhaps I think it is No one dared to spread the Alesai territory even if it was heard. The conversation between Sultan and Alari did not deliberately lower the voice, and I also heard some intermittent words. In fact, I heard more than I told you. Many, but the time has passed for too long, I have forgotten about it, if it weren’t for seeing Alari today, I would definitely have forgotten thoroughly.”

“Hiss——”

Richard sucked in a breath of cold air, he was so shocked that he could not speak for a while at the shocking melon he had eaten from Khalid. If Khalid said it is true, then Alari is very likely to be with Sultan Winjid is plotting some terrible conspiracy, which can be inferred from the words given by Khalid.

Richard guessed that Alari probably wanted to launch a coup in the country, forcing his Royal Father Deter to abdicate and become king himself. After his coup, there will be noble opposition, in order to suppress these The opposing forces, Sultan Winjid and his Alessai army came in handy. What advantage may Arari use to persuade Wenjid to promise to join the war after the coup and help suppress the opposition.

However, Richard suddenly had a doubt. He asked: “Khalid, how long ago did you hear it?”

“Almost three years ago.” Khalid replied.

“Three years ago…”

When I heard that it was three years ago, Richard was hesitating about his inference just now. Now that Alari has persuaded Wenjid to help He, why has he been delayed until three years later, and he still hasn’t done it today? You know, the most taboo thing about a coup is procrastination. There is an old saying that there are many nights and dreams, and the longer things procrastinate, the more variables will be produced.

“Tsk.”

Richard shook the head and decided not to think about those things. His main board is still in the main world. The kingdom of Vallandia in this world happened. Nothing has much to do with him, no matter who sits in the position of king has nothing to do with him.
