MTL - Bloodline Lord of War-Chapter 155
Chapter 155
"The Earl of Longji has already raised the banner. The wasteland is the wasteland for pioneering nobles. He gathered more than 20 pioneering nobles and sent us a joint letter, expressing that the nobles of the Northern Territory do not need to intervene. The Northern Territory is opposed to sending troops internally, and there are two layers of resistance inside and outside, so it is not easy for us to send troops directly." Helen said.
"Of course we also know that we should be united in the face of the blood race, but it is useless if we want to unite, the other party does not want to unite with us." The female knight smiled helplessly.
"Aren't you worried, Lord Duke? As you said just now, if Earl Longji really wins, the situation in the entire north will become very unfavorable to you Snow Eagles." Robin asked.
Helen replied: "I'm a little worried, but not too much. Your Excellency the Duke thinks that Earl Longji is good at management, but he is not a good military commander. He can't win this war. Of course, we know that Golden Rose will definitely send military advisors to Earl Longji, but the arrogant Earl Longji probably won't be completely at the mercy of Golden Rose. Robin, you know, the worse a chess player is, the more he hates other people's moves.
"Besides, according to the reliable information we have, Earl Longji and Golden Rose are not completely in the same mind. Earl Longji also has his own little girl in this blood event. Golden Rose wants Earl Longji to grow in the wasteland. To gain an advantage over us, but the Earl of Longji wants to use a victory over the blood race to get rid of the control of Golden Rose. On the surface, Longji Fort obeys Golden Rose, but in fact the two sides have long been separated."
"So, what the Duke means is that since it is impossible to form a coalition army, let the Golden Rose and Dragon's Back Fort to toss first. For us, it doesn't matter even if the Earl of Dragon's Back really wins, it will speed up his battle. We don’t care about the expansion of Dragon’s Backbone in the wilderness, as long as he doesn’t get mixed up with Golden Rose;”
"It would be even better if they lost. When they lose in a mess, we will slowly clean up the mess."
Helen told Robin about the attitudes of all parties to the blood race incident. After listening to Robin, he suddenly felt very ironic.
He has studied history. In the history of mankind, there were many great empires that could defeat powerful enemies, but because of internal disunity, various factions fought against each other, and were eventually defeated by the enemy.
As long as the great nobles of the Northern Territory can work together, Robin believes that defeating the Duke of Blood should not be a problem. But now, Robin is not so sure about it.
"Robin, Lord Duke asked me to tell you that if you want to join Earl Dragon's Back's wasteland coalition army, we have no objection. We can understand your situation. As a wasteland lord, the threat of the Blood Duke to you is genuine. You're definitely going to want to pull that nail out as soon as possible."
"However, you must be careful. Once the Wilderness Alliance is formed, the Earl of Dragon's Back, as the largest noble in the wasteland, must be the commander of the Wasteland Alliance. But as I said just now, Earl of Dragon's Back is not someone you can rely on." Commander, if you follow his orders completely, you may end up hurting yourself."
Helen told Robin with a serious expression, and she continued: "In addition, although the Northern Coalition Army cannot be formed for the time being, our Snow Eagle will provide security for our allies. If you encounter difficulties, you can come to me at any time."
Robin smiled and nodded: "Thank you."
Helen didn't stay with Robin for too long, the two sides exchanged information, and then Helen led the troops and left.
Although Helen provided Robin with a promise of safety, Robin never thought of relying entirely on the Snow Eagle family.
Robin's conscription plan went smoothly, and soon fifty human militiamen were recruited inside Raging Waves City, and Simon was appointed by Robin as the head of this new army.
At the same time, the supporting facilities for the recruits have just been completed. In the northern part of Raging Waves City, Robin has drawn a new area, which will be used as the camp for the recruits. Under Aisha's overall planning, the recruits' barracks were quickly built.
This morning, just as the genius was lighting up, there was a sudden sound of horns in the camp of the recruits.
"Woooooooh—"
The trumpet is short, three times broken and one long, which is the sound of the horn for getting up.
A moment later, a group of recruits ran out of the barracks in a hurry. Some of them got up too hastily, and even their clothes were disheveled, and they buttoned their clothes while running.
As the chief military officer, Simon stood upright in the middle of the school grounds, with a serious expression on his square face. Standing beside him was a half-elven trumpeter. At this time, the trumpeter was puffing up his cheeks and continuously blowing the horn in his hand.
It took almost ten minutes for this group of recruits to stand in front of Simon, and their team stood crookedly, almost forming an irregular oval.
Looking at the group of ignorant recruits in front of him, Simon frowned, very dissatisfied with this.
Because of the bonus of the blood system, coupled with Robin's continuous training spurs, the highlander army led by Simon is now a truly forbidden iron army, without the slightest disorganized and chaotic temperament of the highlanders.
Compared to the steel-disciplined iron guards, this group of recruits is a bunch of chaotic lambs, and Simon really despises them.
"Silence!"
Seeing that the group of recruits were still whispering to each other below, Simon roared in dissatisfaction. His voice was louder than the horn, and all the recruits were frightened and shut their mouths immediately.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Simon. I am an officer under the baron. From today onwards, I will be your commander. First of all, I want to set a few rules. The first one is that as long as I stand on it, you Everyone has to keep their mouths shut, and whoever dares to mutter in a low voice next time, I will feed him a whip!"
Simon slammed the pointer in his hand, and with a bang, it left a deep whip mark on the ground. All the recruits looked at the welt marks on the ground, and they couldn't help showing a look of fear on their faces.
"Second, the time for emergency assembly is too slow. It took ten minutes and twenty-one seconds. From today onwards, as soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, everyone must appear on the school grounds in full armor within five minutes. , Whoever is one minute late will be whipped, understand?"
After Simon finished speaking, there was silence below. All the recruits just stared at Simon dumbfoundedly with their eyes wide open, but there was no response.
Warrior Iron Bear suddenly felt angry and shouted: "Are you all deaf? Or are you dumb? Won't you reply? Do you understand?"
"Understood." The recruits replied sparsely.
"Can't hear you, speak up!"
"I understand."
"louder!"
"Understood!" All the recruits shouted, pulling their necks together.
"Now, everyone, please introduce yourself and tell us your name, age, and home address." Simon raised his hand and pointed to the left. "Let's start from your side, one by one."
The one Simon pointed at was a young man who looked only seventeen or eighteen, tall and thin. He suddenly panicked, and quickly replied nervously: "My name is Yark, I am seventeen years old, and I live in..."
"Can't hear you!" Simon interrupted him abruptly. "You still want to be a soldier with such a low voice? Open your mouth."
Yark was sweating nervously, and raised his voice a little: "My name is Yark..."
"Can't hear, or can't hear!"
"My name is Yark! I am seventeen years old this year! I live in..." Yark shouted loudly, and the veins on his forehead popped out.
"Fine, next!"
While Simon was training newcomers, Robin and Aisha stood on the high ground near the new barracks, looking down at the new barracks below.
"Simon is doing okay." Robin hugged his shoulders and nodded in satisfaction.
"Luke also told me in private, don't look at Simon's carefree look on weekdays, there are indeed two brushes in leading troops." Aisha also praised beside him.
"Luke said this?" Robin turned his head, feeling quite novel. "Luke would praise Simon, don't they always fight each other? It's really the sun coming out from the west."
Aisha covered her mouth and smiled, looking beautiful in the morning light: "My lord, it's true to hate, and appreciation is also true."
Then, Robin opened his blood eyes and looked at the recruits below. Among the fifty recruits, only a few had a little bit of blood mist on them, and they were all fighting blood.
The blood mist on these bloodline carriers is too thin. Without the intervention of external forces, they would never be able to become true fighting spirit knights in their entire lives.
Although vindictive knights are already the most common awakened people in the empire, if compared with the huge population base, this number is still very, very small, even fewer people can successfully awaken, and it is still ordinary people without any blood. most of.
"Aisha, go and tell Simon later, take that, that, and that..." Robin pointed out these bloodline carriers one by one with his hand. "Take these people out individually, and they may become awakened ones later."
Aisha's memory is outstanding, Robin just said this, she nodded and replied: "Yes, I remember, my lord."
Selecting bloodline carriers among ordinary imperial people is not a plan that can be implemented quickly, because only Robin has the eyes of bloodlines, he can't go to the street to watch people play all day long, he can only find one. Find one, and it depends on whether the other party is willing to surrender to Robin.
The best way to expand the army is to find sub-race groups like iron guards and half-elves. The entire group is a blood carrier, and Robin is an army when he wakes up.
Robin has also asked Janna to pay attention to whether there are sub-race tribes outside who are willing to migrate to Raging Waves City. Aisha also volunteered to try to contact other half-elf groups in the empire.
Robin just remembered this, and asked, "Are there any half-elven groups in the empire who are willing to migrate?"
Aisha shook her head: "I haven't received a reply yet."
Robin wasn't very disappointed either. After all, it was human nature. If the other party's life in the empire was good, even if it was just a mediocre life, as long as they could survive, most people would not be willing to migrate thousands of miles to Niaobula On the wasteland of shit.
While the two were talking, all the recruits on Simon's side had already introduced themselves.
Then, Simon ordered loudly: "Now, everyone line up in two columns. Your first training this morning is to run ten laps around Raging Waves City. Everyone, lift your buttocks and move your legs, and move immediately!"
Everything went well with the plan for the recruits, and a few days later, just as Helen expected, the envoy from Dragon's Back Fort arrived.
Under the fiery red sun, a group of cavalry envoys ran across the vast wilderness, and their horseshoes stepped on the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.
There are five of them in total, each wearing armor and carrying a sword, and the team is carrying the flag of Longji Fortress. The flag has a yellow background and a hideous white dragon head is painted on it.
On the wall of Raging Waves City, the half-elf sentinel saw the envoys approaching quickly in the distance, turned his head and shouted at his companions: "Unknown armed forces are approaching!"
The envoys came to the city gate, and a knight at the head raised his head and shouted: "We are the envoys of Dragon's Back Castle, and we are here to see the Lord Baron of Raging Waves City."
After a cup of tea, the envoys from Longji Castle came to Robin's lord's mansion, and Robin met them in the lobby on the first floor.
"See Lord Baron, may the holy light shine on you." The leading cavalry bowed to Robin and saluted, which was quite polite.
This is a man in his thirties. He looks quite heroic. Robin took a look with his bloodline eyes. However, the four cavalrymen under him were just ordinary cavalrymen.
The envoy took out a letter from his pocket and handed it over with both hands: "This is a letter from Earl Longji, please read it, Lord Baron."
Robin sat on the chair, without his instruction, the old housekeeper Homan standing next to him immediately stepped forward to receive the letter, and returned to hand it to Robin.
"My lord, you must be aware of the recent blood clan incident. My Earl Longji wants to form a coalition army in the wilderness to wipe out this evil blood clan force. I also hope that the baron can send troops to help." The knight said.
Robin opened the letter and read it. The general content was similar to what the knight said.
In fact, Robin had already considered this matter. He put down the letter and replied to the knight with a smile: "Please tell the Earl of Dragon's Back that I will lead all the soldiers and horses in Raging Waves City to arrive as scheduled and destroy the blood enemies together."
Earl of Dragon's Back has a close relationship with the Golden Rose family, and Robin chose to form a coalition with Earl of Dragon's Back, which seems to be a bit of an enemy.
However, although Golden Rose is hateful, the Duke of Blood is Robin's number one threat right now. The emissary of the Duke of Blood attacked Robin in this lobby before. For the safety of himself and the territory, Robin must not sit idly by. He wanted to kill the Blood Duke as soon as possible.
Now, the Duke of Blood has become the main conflict in Robin's case. As for the secondary conflict of the golden rose, Robin can only let it go for the time being and talk about it later.
That's why Robin chose to join forces with Earl Longji temporarily. Regarding his choice, Helen and the Snow Eagle family also expressed their understanding.
Of course, it is impossible for Robin to completely tie himself to Earl Longji's chariot. If, in the end, as Duke Snow Eagle predicted, Earl Dragon's Back fought badly in battle, then Robin can find a way to run away with the troops. Anyway, he has legs growing on him, so he can walk whenever he wants.
Robin would not wait until Earl Longji was defeated by the Duke of Blood before fleeing. He went to have a look first, and if the situation was not right, he would immediately flee. There was no need to be buried with Earl Longji.
