Transcendent Noble

The banner blown by the wind is hunting.

In the valley, a rider dispersed to all directions, and a team of cavalry came from all directions again.

In the hunting camp, the hunters changed their hunting outfits, put on armors, and long swords on their waists. In a blink of an eye, the elegant nobles became powerful Knights. The attendants put on iron essence locks and picked up the lance crossbow, as if they were all elite soldiers.

The boots stepped across the grass, and the hoops of the lock armor collided with a sonorous sound. This sound, thunderous hoofs, and the neighing of war horses interweave the movement of war.

Long spear is like a forest, with banners fluttering, and the hunting camp has turned into a barracks.

Sylvia gave an order, and Knight of the York family gathered his subordinates and came continuously from all over the place. In half a day, the York family assembled hundreds of elite cavalry, dozens of Knights and all high-ranking Knights. They only took one hour to pass and formulate a battle plan against Duke Eriksson. Maybe it can't be called a battle plan. In order to fight for the right to march, the Great Knights have been bargaining in the camp until Sylvia personally selected the candidates for the battle, and the pre-war meeting ended.

The efficient war mobilization capability of the York family did not shock Victor. The hunting event originally had the nature of military exercises. Victor was surprised that Sylvia made such a hasty decision to start a family war. The opponent was a Duke of the Dodo Kingdom, and the top of the York family did not have any objections. Not only did they actively respond and did not make any plans.

This is just too childish!

As early as ten days ago, Victor received the first letter from Old Hamm. He had learned of a Knight squad belonging to Duke Eriksson who had been wiped out by the alchemy militia. As for why Duke Erickson invaded Raven Village, Victor didn't think much about it. It was nothing more than a territorial dispute.

The lords have disputes over their respective spheres of influence, and they will only discuss it after they fight. In this regard, Victor is neither angry nor planning to ask the York family to help mediate. Now, no lord can resist Victor's revenge.

In order to avoid Duke Erickson’s follow-up actions, Old Hamm has led the villagers into the mountains. And Victor will mobilize 10 alchemy war mastiffs, kill Duke Erickson’s cattle and sheep, threaten his people to prevent them from farming, and continue to attack their supply convoy until Duke Erickson gives up the nearest Until the town or village.

Knight squad unfathomable mystery is missing, any lord will be vigilant and uneasy, and the raven village will be flattened as expected. After receiving the report, Victor's anger was more to distract Sylvia's attention, so as to get out of the "forced marriage" first. But Victor didn't expect Sylvia's reaction so great that he was about to start a family war.

Victor doesn't think that Sylvia is trying to vent his anger, he is still thinking about the purpose of the York family's war.

The curtain of the camp was opened, and the high-ranking Knights of the York family filed out. They greeted Victor kindly and hurriedly left.

"It has been decided. I will personally lead 3 Great Knights, 7 Knights and 21 trainee Knights, and then bring 300 cavalry, one man and three horses, and I will set off today."

Sylvia walked to Victor's side, she had changed into Qiangwei Battle Armor. Battle Armor is made of mithril and fine gold, defensive power and element affinity. The body-fitting design not only highlights the beautiful figure, but also is flexible. The surface of the armor has a pattern of roses and flames, which is exquisite and gorgeous. . At this time, strong, mysterious, feminine, heroic, noble, and graceful were perfectly interpreted in Sylvia. The charm and imposing manner she showed made Victor slightly lost.

Is this Peak Knight?

Sylvia didn’t care about Victor’s emotions. She said: "Erickson destroyed your village, so I will let him pay you a castle, how about it?"

Victor Can’t help but say: "Walk for such a thing?"

"War? No!" Sylvia smiled slyly: "We are still holding a hunting event, but Duke Eriksson To our prey."

Victor suck in a breath of cold air: "Take a Duke of the Dodo Kingdom as a prey? Are you not afraid to cause a backlash from the Dodo Kingdom? Not to mention the Duke’s army and castle are not Toys, why should I make some preparations?"

Sylvia nodded and said: "Any lord who attacks the kingdom of Dodo must be cautious, except for Duke Eriksson." Not in Victor. In Xie's eyes, she explained: "Eriksson is nominally a Duke, but his strength is not much stronger than count. The most important thing is that if I hit him, there won't be too much trouble."

Seeing Victor's appearance of a rare treasure, Sylvia pursed her mouth and said with a smile: "There is a secret here. Since it involves the decent royal family of Golden Knight and Dodo, most nobles don’t know about it. "

"Forty years ago, the old king of Dodo accidentally fell into a siege while resisting Sasan’s invasion. At that time, the Golden Knight of Dodo was facing off with the Golden Knight of Sasan, and they received The news that the king was in distress, couldn't bear it, and tried to escape the siege, only to expose the identity of the old king. Sasan Empire’s Golden Knight stopped them and sent high-ranking Knights to encircle the old king. The situation became extremely critical. In order to save the king , Dodo’s Iron Wall Knight regiment used tail docking to get rid of the entanglement of its opponents and successfully reunited with the old king, but Sasan’s high-ranking Knight also surrounded him. At that time, the head of the Iron Wall Knight regiment was the grandfather of Duke Eriksson. , He asked the deputy head of Du Nklue to lead the team to protect the king from breaking through, and he and his two sons stayed behind."

"The old king successfully broke through, but the Knight of Eriksson’s All died in battle. King Dodo, grateful for the loyalty and sacrifice of the Eriksson family, named their family heirs as dukes, and designated a territory as hereditary Fiefdom. Since the Fiefdom is far less than the area of ​​the duchy, the king promised forever. Don’t charge their annuities."

"The heir of the Ericsons, who is now Eric Duke Mori was still a child at the time, and Knight in the family also died in battle. As a result, Du Nklue, head of the Iron Wall Knight regiment, announced that he would serve as his guardian until he reached adulthood, and the Knight regiment would protect his family for 50 years. "

"The Eriksson family is lonely, their officials and guards are all appointed by the king and Dunkrew, territorial affairs are inevitably controlled by the king, and the annuity is paid as usual. After the death of the old king, Dunkrew was promoted to Golden Knight, and those officials moved closer to Dunkrew. Duke Erickson grew up in this environment. "

"After Eriksen became an adult, he has several points of talent and means. He not content with acting as a puppet, secretly cultivating cronies, and quickly drove away those disobedient subordinates and regained control. Territorial power. "

"If he stops here, Dunkrew will not mind, but unfortunately the Erickson family's background is too shallow, the king suddenly lifted them too high, and Dunkrew He is not a qualified guardian, he has not been given enough education, and he has no time to cultivate feelings with him. "

"Eriksson was immersed in his own cleverness, breeding unnecessary ambitions, completely unaware of what royal power and Golden Knight meant. "Sylvia said with a sneer.

"Eriksson regards Dunkrew and the royal family as threats, using their promises and names to expand his power frantically, but also manage his territory. thriving. But he did two stupid things that made the Dodo royal family and Dunkru lose patience with him. "

"After the forest people migrated, Eriksson, without the king's consent, designated the northern part of Centaur Hills as his sphere of influence. He also discovered a gold mine and privately minted coins. In order to keep the gold mines, Eriksson began to refuse to pay annuities to the royal family and drove out the tax officials of the kingdom. "

"It doesn't matter if you occupy the territory of Centaur Hills, but the private coin is a serious challenge to the king's power, even our York family will not do it, and Eriksson did it. King Dodo has been patient because of the promise of the king and the face of Dunkrew, but he must hope that someone can teach Eriksen a bitter lesson. "

"so that's how it is. "Victor nodded, and asked inexplicably: "Erickson occupies so many territories, don't the other lords of Dodo have any opinions?" "

Sylvia lightly said: "The matter of occupying a territory depends on the benefits and the strength. What is the use of drawing a sphere of influence on the map? Moreover, the lords of the Dodo Kingdom are not like our Gambis, they do not lack land. "

"Why? "

Sylvia lightly spit out two words: "War, population. "

Due to church and productivity reasons, Human Kingdom’s annexation war rarely involves large corps. There are Knights on both sides. It is particularly difficult to break the fortress and castle. Therefore, Sasanian attacked the Kingdom of Dodo. Not to forcibly attack the castle, but go deep into the hinterland, break through villages, towns, plunder supplies, destroy production facilities, destroy the vassal class, drive out the people, create refugees, and increase the burden on the Dodo kingdom until it collapses.

Faced with this situation, the lord of Dodo will not send Knight and the army to intercept it, otherwise it will be annihilated. They can only seize the opportunity of Sasanian's retreat and try to kill his army. Both you come and I will win each other Negative, but the people did not dare to stay in the territory. Their migration caused the territory to be barren. In the long run, the lord of Dodo will either give up the territory or surrender to Sasan. Sasan Empire finally completed the merger.

To prevent this situation When it happened, Gambis has been providing supplies to the lord of Dodo, and refugees fleeing the war also flooded into Gambis. Therefore, the Dodo kingdom does not have much population pressure, but Gambis is already overcrowded, overwhelmed, and desperately in need of new territory.

Although the traditional tactics are effective, it takes too long and Sasanian may not be able to survive.

Actually, Victor’s wolf disaster tactics are completely copied from this tactic. In this regard, he is incomparable. The advantage of the alchemy war mastiff is enough to waste any territory. However, it is not in Victor’s interest to do so.

Victor does not have the ambition to unify the Human Kingdom, nor the political basis to rule the human kingdom, let alone This is necessary.

Without strategic power in hand, it is naturally impossible to preserve the fruits of victory. In addition, destruction is easy to build and difficult to build, and it takes more time and investment to rebuild territory, while Alchemy Tower relies on gas consumption. Luck and resources to operate.

Victor’s strategic thinking is very clear. It absorbs the luck of other families through trade, and allows Alchemy Tower to continuously manufacture alchemy creatures, protect its monopoly position and interests, and expand its own Power and influence. From this point of view, Victor is more willing to help the lords build territories, rather than turn them into paupers. Martial power is only to tame the disobedient lords.

War is never The purpose, but the means. So what is Sylvia's purpose?

With this question, Victor said: "Even so, the Kingdom of Dodo won't want you to attack their lord. Is the price of starting a war too great for a castle? "

"hmph! What can they do if they don't want it?" As early as a few years ago, our York family made a plan to seize the northern part of Centaur Hills. "Sylvia coldly said.

"Do you remember? When we first entered Centaur Hills, we gave up the western and southern territories and occupied the eastern and northern territories. For this reason, we have forced you to replace territories. That's because Centaur Hills lacks stone materials, and there is a quarry in the north. Only by taking down the quarry can we build castles and fortresses, but Eriksson has acted recklessly as his sphere of influence. "

"It is the foundation of the Guan Family clan. What does it matter even if you fight a battle with the Dodo Kingdom?" Dodian wants to defeat our York family and has to do his best! Then they would perish their country, and Gambis would not stand idly by. In this case, do you think Dodo will stand up for Eriksson? "

"It's just that the rock bricks you invented changed our strategy, but Eriksson actually dared to provoke me. Ten days ago he accused us of invading his territory in the name of Dunkru. Now you have levelled your village again. If he doesn't respond, he really thinks our York family is a bully! "

"If I guess right, Dunkrew and his Knight regiment must be led by Erickson. Erickson just wanted to let me recognize his sphere of influence. But this idiot could know that Dunkrew would never conflict with another Peak Knight for him. Even if there is a conflict, the Knights of the Iron Wall can only be annihilated except to escape! "

Speaking of this, Sylvia of sexy bearing and charming temperament has a self-contained spirit, and then she smiled and said: "Since Ericson has levelled your village, I will Take people to visit his gold mine. If he does not compensate hundreds of thousands of gold sols, we can only mortgage the gold ingots to the royal family of Gambis to make up for our losses. "

Victor suddenly realized that it's no wonder that Knight of the York family is so active. It turns out that the poor went to rob!

"My dear, do you want to hunt in the north?" "Sylvia sent out an invitation.

Victor's mouth twitched. He felt it was shameful to follow Sylvia's buttocks to seek justice, so he shook his head and said, "The reservoir should be repaired, I'm going back and see!" "
