Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 339 Remorse

"Woo..." The horn echoed in the autumn grass and yellow fields, and an army of black crows appeared on the other side of the horizon. They held various flags and looked at the north from a distance. After a long time at the coalition camp, several knights rode their horses in front of the group of people who were screaming for unknown reasons. Then the crowd uttered indistinguishable shouts, and then began to move and descend towards the distant hills. The big camp arranged by the Lass team left.

His Royal Highness remembers very clearly that just after he made a pledge and obtained the promise that the four Northland families were willing to work for him, the envoy of the Grand Duke Madras came to the camp again the next day. He came to urge the Northland coalition forces. Withdraw from the Principality of Madras.

But when the Earl of Kenmes put forward the new conditions, the messenger smiled and his eyes were full of sarcasm: "Earl, do you regard the principality as a fat cow? You think that the conditions are such that His Royal Highness will agree. Don’t forget that no matter how fat the cow is, it also has a pair of sharp horns. As a messenger, I have no right to reprimand your wishful thinking. I can only tell your Royal Highness what you have said. But before I leave, I want to be right. You say a word, since you want war, then we will not let you down..."

After the envoy left, the Second Highness was excited and inexplicably excited. He immediately delivered a long passionate speech, which meant that his face was almost torn apart now. The Northland coalition forces should seize this opportunity to attack first in Madras. The Principality has swept the entire Dremque Province before reacting, and occupied more territory. After the arrival of the army of the Grand Duke of Madras, it can engage in a tug of war and use its elite forces to defeat or drag down the Principality of Madras.

Only four expressionless faces responded to the Second Highness. Baron Shaheen was the first to speak. He thought it was unnecessary to attack Dremque now. During this time, he often took troops out to capture the noble farms. Orchard, knows the situation in Dremke very well. The nobles of the fief gathered private soldiers to defend in the castles. It is useless to attack those castles. Even if they occupy the territory, they will still score troops and stay behind, thus dispersing their forces in vain.

Baron Felim, with a serious face, also retorted that it is now the end of October and there is only one month left before the arrival of winter. It is impossible for thirty-five days to sweep the entire Dremque province and the entire Dremque. There is only one Kebo city in the province, and the rest are manor castles of the territorial nobles. However, Kebo City is a fortress city, and there is a garrison of 20,000 horses, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Northland coalition forces cannot capture Kebo City in a short period of time, and will only cause heavy casualties to their attackers...

Count Kenmes smiled and advised the second majesty that there was no need to be so impatient. The messenger went back and told Grand Duke Madras that it would take at least ten days to send troops again, and it would be mid-November. There is only half a month left for them to arrange the barracks to raise supplies for the winter. Compared with the Northland Coalition, which has basically completed the preparations for the winter, the army of the Principality of Madras has felt better this winter. We can spend the winter comfortably, and we will be able to give a fatal blow to those stupid birds who have been freezing for a whole winter next year.

In the end, Lorist made a summary and proceeded according to the predetermined plan. Don't care about the army sent by the Grand Duke of Madras, and do nothing. When the Grand Duke of Madras gathers the army in the spring of next year, there will be a big battle. Lorist expressed his belief in the combat effectiveness of the Northland coalition forces. As long as the army assembled by the Principality of Madras was defeated in World War I, then the subsequent destruction of the Principality of Madras would be much simpler.

The military meeting ended, and the four northern nobles stood up and respectfully bowed to the Second Hall and then retired. They did not give the Second Highness a chance to persuade again. Only the Second Highness was left gritted his teeth in the big tent, regretting that he had failed to gain the dominance of the Northland Alliance before signing the oath.

The oath is the letter of guarantee from the upper lord to the lower lord. As long as the lower lord has completed the tasks assigned to the upper lord on the oath, the rewards promised by the upper lord on the oath will be established or redeemed immediately, and there is no need to go through the upper lord. Agree and approve.

The affidavit is usually made in triplicate, except for the upper lord and the lower lord each have one copy. There are six oaths of His Royal Highness II. He and the four lords of the North will each hold one. The next one will be on the first day of the New Year. The Earl of Kenmax represents the four major families in the North. The former Grand Dusk of Dusk City held a grand New Year's banquet, which was announced in front of all the nobles of the North, that is, the lords supported by the Norton family and the Kenmes family. Earl Kenmes said that this move represented all the Northland nobles returning to the right path and putting themselves under the command of the Second Highness.

His Royal Highness originally wanted to sign an oath with Count Kenmax and his family, but Count Kenmax thought it was inappropriate, because it would easily cause the four major families in the Northland to divide the alliance between them. Impression, and in the war to destroy the Principality of Madras and conquer the Iberian Kingdom, many times require the cooperation of the four major families in the North. Therefore, when signing the vows, the four major families should be the main ones, so that when the time comes, they will be entangled with each other, all will be prosperous, and all will be destroyed. They are all grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can run away.

As Lord Kenmes said, he also wanted to pull his family out so as not to get involved by those three allies. But at present he can't do it, because his move will arouse the suspicion of Lorist and others, and then guess whether the Kenmes family and the second highness have reached a private agreement. This will not only affect the covenant of the four Northland families. , It is more likely that the Second Highness’s plan for the restoration of the country will be affected, so Earl Kenmax thought about it and would rather let the family and the three Northland families suffer losses, rather than let the Second Highness’s journey to restore the country suffer setbacks. ...

His Royal Highness expressed his appreciation for the insightful righteousness of Earl Kenmes, and decided to adopt Earl Kenmes's suggestion to write down the vows based on the four major families of the Northland. The content was the conditions that he had negotiated with Earl Kenmes. When the Second Highness signed and stamped the six oaths and pressed his fingerprints, Lorist, Baron Felim, and Baron Shaheen all bowed their heads to him. At that moment, the Second Highness was very ambitious, and the four major families of the Northland were driven by themselves, and all the enemies could soon see themselves come back and fight the world.

It was only when Lorist almost simultaneously rejected the proposal of the Second Highness to send troops as soon as possible to wipe out the Dremque Province, that the Second Highness discovered that although he was the upper lord of the four major families in the North, he was against the armed forces of the four major families. Without the slightest restriction and commanding power, even the guards around him were assigned by the four major families. Except for the Golden Knight named Lippired, Christia and the other three Silver Knights are all recruiting soldiers from the Norton family territory and guarding Lorester’s standard equipment for the White Lions. ...

His Royal Highness did not give up, but found Lorester and others, and persuaded them to follow their suggestions with all their heart. They were very fast, and did not take advantage of the fact that the Principality of Madras was still deploying troops and condemning the generals to lay a territory and disrupt Madeira. The steps of the Duke Speyer's deployment of troops instead allowed them to gather their troops to wait for the decisive battle. This was the biggest decision error. Because at that time, the Principality of Madras can mobilize the power of the entire Principality by virtue of its geographical location and harmony. Even if the decisive battle fails, it can be turned into a local defense and drag the war into a confrontation phase.

Only by seizing the month before the arrival of winter and conquering Dremque province, even if it can’t be occupied, the area will be destroyed, and the war potential of the Principality of Madras will be reduced as much as possible to force the coming Madras. The Russ team received no support in Dremque and could not raise food and supplies. Only in this way can morale be lost in the final battle after winter, and it will be vulnerable...

Since Lorist and the others are going to fight in a big battle, the Second Highness has also changed the method of persuading them very cleverly. He pointed out that before the decisive battle, we should also try our best to reduce the enemy's strength, instead of just watching the enemy gather forces. His Royal Highness believes that the Principality of Madras is a fat bison, and the Northland Allied Forces should hunt this bison like wild wolves, make wounds to the bison as much as possible, and contain the frontal attack of the bison until the bison loses too much blood. If it does not stop, hit another fatal blow, and the Principality of Madras is imminent.

In order to persuade them, the Second Highness also very generously used himself as an example, pointing out the experience and lessons of his failure in the battle of the territories and nobles of Androff Province in the Kingdom of Ridley two years ago. His Royal Highness said that the army he commanded did not have a decisive battle with those noble coalition forces at the time, but had fought three or four decisive battles, each time the noble coalition forces were defeated and disintegrated. But those territorial nobles in Androff Province would lose and fight again, and would not surrender to death. Even if Androff Province was occupied by the army of the Second Highness, they would retreat to Magik Province and continue to deal with the army of the Second Highness. And won the support of the four principalities of Central China and the business alliance, and finally persisted to the final victory...

Therefore, it is impossible for the decisive battle to defeat the Principality of Madras in one battle as Lorist imagined. His Royal Highness believes that it is very likely that the Northland coalition forces will be dragged into long-term guerrilla warfare and raid warfare by the territorial nobles of the Principality of Madras, just like what he encountered in Andrów Province, so that the future war situation will be formed. Adverse consequences. Only by preemptive action, first dispatching troops to wipe out the manor castles of the nobles in the Dremke Province, and destroying the war power of the Madras Principality is the most correct strategy at present. The Northland Allied Forces must seize this fighter, and not let the soldiers stay in the barracks without doing anything for a month.

Lorist did not argue with the Second Highness, but pulled a map of the Principality of Madras and conducted a simple deduction of the battle. With the current strength of the Northland Allied Forces, if you want to wipe out the manor castles of the territorial nobles in Dremque, you must divide the troops into four groups, each with about 20,000 people, so as to conquer those two or three thousand nobles. The castle guarded by private soldiers, even with the smallest casualty rate one to one, the Northland coalition forces who attacked the manor castles of four or five territories aristocrats have had half casualties on each road. They can only return to the army, and the result of the battle is only to wipe out Germany. One third of the territory of Lemke Province.

The biggest weakness of this strategy is that there is no way to send troops to siege Kebo City, because the reinforcements of the Principality of Madras will arrive soon. One is that the Grand Duke of Madras may send his most elite Seamount Corps to come for reinforcements, and the other is Sending 20,000 horses from the garrison on the side of the Hindesen Mountain Range to carry out a flanking attack, then the people going to Kebo City will be in the most critical state. Once defeated, they will even endanger the safety of the riverside ferry camp.

If forty to fifty thousand men were sent to siege Kebo City, then there would be insufficient troops sent to wipe out Dremke Province if they were spared. However, if the reinforcements of the Madras Principality in the city of Irikobo arrive, they are likely to attack the Ferry Camp. The camp has only more than 10,000 people guarded. This is not a permanent defense facility in the city. The consequences of the camp being broken would be disastrous. The four people who went out to raid would be homeless, and the entire army would be wiped out.

Lorist pointed out unceremoniously that the main reason for the failure of the Second Royal Highness's Raiders Kingdom strategy was not the protracted tug-of-war with the territorial nobles of Andrwoff Province, but that the back road was broken, Campona Province The biggest factor in the failure was the loss of food and grass supplies to the troops placed on the front by the Second Royal Highness. Of course, this has a lot to do with the lack of logistics and supplies and difficulties that the Second Royal Highness did not anticipate the changes in the battle situation. But now it seems that the Second Highness hasn't really realized where he failed. At this time, letting the Northland Allied forces attack first is repeating the failure of the Ridley Kingdom Raiders.

His Royal Highness became angry and thought that after the Northland Allied Forces attacked, the armed forces of the Norton family and the Felim family could just come to reinforce and fill the gap in the military force of the riverside ferry camp. It would be impossible to cause the loss of the camp, or even OK. A steady stream of troops were sent to sweep the territorial nobles throughout Dlemke Province.

Baron Felim retorted on the spot. This is absolutely impossible. His Royal Highness did not understand the armed forces of his family and the Norton family. The Northland coalition forces currently in the base camp are dominated by the army of the Shahin family and the Kenmes family. They are all heavily armored infantry, good at defensive but negligent in offensive. Only the two light cavalry regiments of Baron Shaheen are used as scouts here. The layout and scale of the current camp is precisely to facilitate the defense and winter of these heavily armored infantry.

It is really a genius idea to let these heavy armored infantry who are good at defensive attack and wipe out the territorial nobles of Dremke province, and then let the cavalry corps that are good at attacking by their own family and the Norton family come to the camp for defense. Baron Felim laughed and said, even if he and the Norton family cavalry corps rushed to defend the camp, but then these heavy armored infantry came back after the attack, with the current size of the camp, there is no way to accommodate so many people. Among other things, the consumption of logistical materials for the two cavalry regiments alone throughout the winter is a huge number...

There is no need to argue anymore, just follow our planned strategy. From now to winter, we only need to defend this camp. As for not attacking, everyone should wash and go to bed early, don't bother with that. Lorester flashed after patting his butt.

Your Royal Highness was so angry that he almost vomited blood. What does it mean to wash and fall asleep, don't bother to think about me? The frustrated Second Highness took out the oath and examined it carefully, and wanted to find out a regulation that could restrict the armed forces of the Lorist and Norton families.

Then... The Second Highness suddenly realized that he seemed to have been fooled by the Earl of Kenmes... The Earl of Kenmes dug a large hole for the Second Highness, and the Second Highness happily jumped in automatically...

The conditions and tasks on the oath were clearly defined, and both of them were agreed by the Second Highness himself after thinking. But the second highness of the meeting looked at the extremely dazzling conditions on the oath. He looked at the entire map of the former Christen Empire for one night and realized that even if he could unify the territory of the former empire in the future, the territory of the Principality of Madras and the Kingdom of Iberia except for the Eastern Wilderness controlled by the Feisabrun family Outside the province and Muyeyuan province, they are all connected to the Northland. In other words, these places are all under the control of the four major families in the North. As long as the four covenants exist, then this occupying one-third of the territory of the former empire will become inaccessible to the Second Royal Highness. Where to enter...

Just like the province of Dremke, the Second Highness promised that the Norton family would transfer the nobles from the territories they supported. This is equivalent to a disguised acknowledgment that these nobles from the transferred territory are the vassal lords of the Norton family, as long as Madras The demise of the Principality of Dremke Province is about to be controlled by the Norton family has become a reality.

The most deceptive thing is to appoint Lorist as the governor of Windbury King City. The Second Highness forgot that Windbury King City is the capital of Winston Province, so even the territorial nobles of Winston Province were appointed by His Highness. But Lorester is the governor. The current official is not as good as the current governor. The emperor is far away. Even if the Second His Royal Highness gives any order, he will first go to the hands of the governor. Lorester can ignore such orders for unreasonable reasons, and then some time is slow. Slowly pack up those territorial nobles who do not obey your orders and are entrusted to Winston Province...

The Second His Highness regretted it, which was equivalent to giving up the entire Winston Province to the Norton family. Then he found in the pledge that he was extremely unfavorable, that is, it did not stipulate when the Norton family would capture the Imperial Capital and allow the Second Highness to re-enter the throne. Instead, he stipulated that as long as the Principality of Madras was destroyed and the Iberian kingdom was conquered. In the process, as long as the two Highnesses have occupied the territory, the conditions agreed to by the four major families in the North will take effect immediately.

For example, if the province of Sidegrad was captured, the two His Royal Highness's promises to grant the province to the Earl of Kenmes as a hereditary family territory will take effect immediately, and the Earl of Kenmes will automatically be promoted to the throne of Grand Duke. The only restriction is that Made The Duchy of Lars must perish. For example, the armed forces of the four major families in the Northland occupied Winston Province and captured Windbury King City, then Lorester would automatically become the Governor of Winston Province, and Windbury King City would become the Governor's municipality... …

Blind, how can you believe that Earl Kenmes is a profiteer! The Second Highness was desperate for life, especially when he did not find when the four northern families promised to help him reach the time for the Emperor to help him reset. This date can be carried out immediately after the destruction of Madras, or it can be ten or twenty years later. The four great families of the Northland can enshrine the delicious food and drink of the Second Royal Highness in the Northland, and then slowly implement their strategy according to their own decisions and interests...

Although in the oath, the two Highnesses were generous to others and used the interests of the Principality of Madras and the Iberian Kingdom as a guarantee for the four major families of the Northland to serve him, but he found that these promises went out. After he unifies the territory of the former empire in the future, when his interests will almost make the territory controlled by the four major families of the Northland become an independent kingdom, he still can't wait to chop off his own hands. How can he be so obsessed with the vows that he signs and seals on the vows?

No upper lord dared to repent the oath, because the oath is the most sacred guarantee. It is an oath made by the upper lord to the gods in the name of his family and ancestors. His Royal Highness is very clear that the pledge is the guarantee that the four major families of the Northland will work for themselves and recognize that they are their upper lord ~www.readwn.com~ And if you repent, not only will your reputation be worthless, then the Northland The four big families can also refuse to admit that they are their upper lords and return to free nobles for this reason. At that time, not only did he lose the nominal constraints on the four major families in the North, but also four more powerful enemies...

His Royal Highness is now standing on the top of the castle in the middle of the camp, watching the army of the Madras Principality appearing on the horizon in the distance. They are gathering in the camp about two miles away from the northern coalition camp. They are also busy. Building camp walls and various defense facilities, digging trenches, and an endless stream of carriages bringing in various materials.

The more assembled the better, I can only wait patiently now. When spring next year begins, when the coalition forces of the four major families of the Northland and the army of the Principality of Madras are defeated in a decisive battle, it may be their turning point. Only when these arrogant soldiers and lazy Northland coalition forces suffer, and when the Grand Duke Madras fights to the death in Dremque, can they fish in troubled waters. As long as they are recruited to form a white lion army, they will Can get the dominance of this war.

That's what your Highness thought...
