MTL - Investing for All: I Can See a Return on Investment-Chapter 31 Northern Alliance, Arthur's Siege
[From March 1st to March 22nd, the Duke of Casa, one of the three major dukes occupying the northern border, suddenly issued an order to the lords in the entire northern border: all the lords must turn in a certain amount of war supplies to support Casa The Duke sent troops to deal with Demon God Cult. 】
[And the Duke of Casa also conscripted troops from various territories. 】
[In order to justify all these actions, the Duke of Casa let the seventh princess of the royal family appear in person and give a speech for the citizens of Casa City...]
【Duke Casa himself is also under the banner of restoring the Ice Empire. This, "reluctantly" occupies the righteousness. 】
[Earl Arthur also received the order from the Duke of Casa, and it also has the royal seal on it! 】
[With the empire already in name only, this order is nothing more than a piece of waste paper! 】
[However, the loyalty to the empire was imprinted in Earl Arthur's heart. 】
【Moreover, the messenger who came to Black Rock City is the third son of Duke Casa. 】
【This person is naturally here to persuade Earl Arthur to join Duke Casa's team. And as the son of the Duke of Casa, he personally came to persuade Earl Arthur, which is very important! 】
[It's just that Earl Arthur only chose to hand in a batch of supplies in the end, which can be regarded as retaining a trace of respect for the royal family. 】
[The Duke of Casa felt a little regretful when he learned about this. 】
[And in my heart, I am also worried that Earl Arthur will pose a certain threat to him with his original prestige! 】
[However, Earl Arthur is currently only active in the Black Rock City area, and there is no sign of expansion, so the Duke of Casa did not make the next move. 】
[From March 23rd to April 1st, the Great Blood Forest in the north suddenly changed drastically, and a large number of blood-colored monsters gushed out of the forest. 】
[In just one week, the monsters in the Blood Sea Great Forest advanced nearly 100 kilometers to the south. 】
[A large number of cities were destroyed, and the number of survivors was very small. 】
[Currently, the monsters in the Blood Sea Great Forest are only more than 50 kilometers away from Black Rock City. Although it is separated by a Desa River, no one can guarantee when this group of monsters will be able to rush. 】
[The entire Black Rock City, now including refugees, has nearly 800,000 people, but the number of troops has always been kept below 50,000. This has to make people feel a great crisis. 】
[Also, Earl Arthur spends most of his time training soldiers, and usually deals with monsters in the Blood Red Forest. 】
[To put it bluntly, the people of Black Rock City did not feel safe, and even showed signs of rioting. 】
[Currently, Earl Arthur has also been standing still, which is unpredictable. 】
[From April 2nd to April 5th, a group of strange people covered with octopus tentacles brought a group of monsters, the number of which was as high as 3,000. Attacked Black Rock City from the north. 】
[However, Earl Arthur quickly mobilized his troops with thunder and wiped out this group of monsters. 】
【This battle reassured the people in Blackstone City a lot. 】
[From April 6th to May 10th, there was a sudden news from the Duke of Casa: The Duke of Casa sent an army of 1 million, planning to go south to deal with the monsters of the Blood Sea Empire. 】
[Earl Arthur sent someone to confirm whether the news is true. 】
[Five days later, Earl Arthur confirmed the news of Duke Casa's dispatch of troops. And also learned that the other two dukes also sent troops. 】
[Although these three dukes are more likely to be putting on airs, the army has indeed set off. 】
[Early the next morning, Earl Arthur led 10,000 elites, left the territory, and set off for the East...]
[Earl Arthur traveled eastward for more than 70 kilometers, beheaded a large number of blood-colored monsters, and finally arrived at Ice Crystal City. 】
[This city has not been destroyed yet. 】
[When we first arrived, Ice Crystal City was still under attack from blood-colored monsters. 】
【Earl Arthur immediately led the elite army and charged into the crowd of monsters. It took only half an hour to resolve the battle. 】
[The city lord - Viscount Ute, was very excited to see such a powerful human army, and immediately opened the city gate to greet him. 】
[And Earl Arthur came over this trip and proposed to Viscount Ute the idea of establishing the Northern Alliance. 】
[Viscount Ute was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Earl Arthur to make such a choice... But yes, there are only seven princesses left in the royal family, and they are still in the hands of Casa. 】
【Even Earl Arthur, who is absolutely loyal to the royal family, will have his own ideas...】
[Viscount Ute did not hesitate and directly agreed to join the Northern Alliance. This is also out of trust in the once glorious God of War. 】
[Earl Arthur and Viscount Ute signed a covenant. 】
[Then Earl Arthur took some of the ice crystal mines in Ice Crystal City. 】
[In the next month or so, Earl Arthur found several surviving cities and proposed the idea of creating the Northern Alliance. Most of the lords did not reject Earl Arthur. 】
[However, Earl Sika, who occupies the Zilei fluorite vein, directly rejected Earl Arthur's invitation. 】
【Earl Xika thought that with the character of Earl Arthur, he would not do anything to himself. 】
[But Earl Arthur chose to kill Earl Sika without hesitation. 】
[Subsequently, Earl Arthur declared that Earl Sika had joined the Blood Sea Empire! He is a traitor to the human race! 】
[The citizens and soldiers of Zilei City did not choose to resist, but surrendered directly and accepted the jurisdiction of Earl Arthur. 】
[Earl Arthur chose to leave Zilei City after leaving behind two thousand elite soldiers. 】
[From May 11th to June 30th, a large number of blood-colored monsters staying in the northern part of the Desa River suddenly felt a little ready to move. 】
[Earl Arthur led an army of 30,000 troops and marched towards the dark forest ten kilometers south of the Desa River. 】
[The dark forest at this moment is already covered with blood. 】
[A large number of blood-colored monsters crossing the river gather here, and it is also the source of monsters attacking other territories. 】
【Earl Arthur looked at the dark forest in front of him and gave the order to attack! 】
[Although most of the soldiers are new recruits who have just trained for three months, the formation at this moment is very neat! They also come with decent gear. 】
[The 30,000 legion, facing this endless monster, did not have the slightest stage fright. 】
[Because their lord is standing at the forefront! 】
【kill! 】
[A large number of monsters were disturbed by the battle, and then rushed out of the forest. 】
[Just as the battle was fierce, a large number of human troops suddenly arrived from other directions...]
【Earl Arthur looked at the other lords who had joined the Northern Alliance and nodded slightly. Then he took the golden spear and rushed towards the monster. 】
[A full 150,000 human legion, and the monster side, started a battle in the dark forest. 】
[As for the Desa River in the north, it also began to boil, and a large number of monsters flocked from the north to the south. 】
[But to get to the dark forest, you need to pass through a 'narrow' mountain pass that is only 500 meters wide, and there are 50,000 troops stationed here! 】
When Lin Yu looked at the information, he felt a little confused.
How did Earl Arthur do it...
Why do other lords send troops directly?
Perhaps, Earl Arthur's reputation is beyond his imagination...
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Earl Arthur can have a high income, not other earls.
"It seems that time is accelerating this time, so we need to study the glorious God of War 40 years ago."
