total war rise of empire

Chapter 41

Although Leonidas prefers to show off her muscles, she has been ambiguous with that handsome boy Antonio all day long, and she still can't hold back a fart for a long time...

But the work efficiency is still good, especially the use of violence to do things!

According to the residents of Megara City, more than 5000 regular troops were dispatched to attack the city-state of Pylos this time. The city-state of Pylos implements the citizenship system, which means that some people of Pylos have citizenship. What should they do on weekdays? What, bring your own weapons and equipment to fight in wartime!

Except for Agamemnon, the lord of the city-state of Pylos, who is also the most powerful lord of the city of Pylos, who has a direct guard, the army of the city-state of Pylos is composed of these citizens!
There are quite a few citizens among the Pylos people, but most of them are old, young, women and children without combat effectiveness. There are not many real men of the right age. After all, citizens in the city-state of Pylos have many rights. Who will oppress?
After the destruction of the more than 5000 Pylos citizen regular army, more than half of the Pylos city-state can be said to have been disabled, which is definitely a great loss for the Pylos people!
Of the more than 5000 Pylos regular troops, less than half of them were actually killed in battle. In the hands of Lei Zihao, there were more than 3000 prisoners. The number of people captured by Zhan Lei Zihao can reach as many as 5000!

These more than 5000 captives are all young and middle-aged, not to mention the young and strong men who can serve as soldiers, and those civilian husbands who specialize in physical labor are also men!
It can be said that the harvest of more than 5000 prisoners in this battle is the second largest gift package Lei Zihao has received!

War is indeed a quick way to get rich!
Among so many prisoners, it is naturally impossible for everyone to know the inside story of the stabbing in the back of the city-state of Pylos, but there are also many Pylos officers who surrendered. The officers who are willing to surrender themselves prove that their willpower is not firm. , already died on the battlefield!

Therefore, Leonidas quickly screened out several Pylos officers who had higher status, knew more information, and were very cooperative, hoping to suffer less and save their lives, and packed them up and sent them to Lei Zihao!

Lei Zihao's interrogation process did not involve Li Qingmei. Since the Princess Siris came to Megara City, she has become busier than Lei Zihao. To appease the hearts of the people is a physical task. In this era, there are no radios and TVs. , Everyone will be happy with a public speech. To let so many Seris civilians know that there is still hope for the Seris Kingdom, Li Qingmei had to give conciliatory speeches everywhere under the 'guard' of Spartan soldiers!
This method is a bit clumsy, but the effect is surprisingly good. It is a hundred times better than lazy Lei Zihao signing a warrant and issuing it so that civilians can understand it!
Several Pylos officers were captured under the spears of the Spartan warriors, tremblingly telling all the information they knew. They were not specially trained spies and assassins, and their mouths were loose...

From the mouth of the Pylos captive, Lei Zihao got an unbelievably important piece of information—the half-orc pill!

To be precise, the orc empire forces in the Balkans have encountered unprecedented setbacks!
The half-orc army sandwiched between the human world and the night elf empire is not to mention hated by people. Both the human country and the night elves are eager to destroy and cleanse it!
It's a pity that the enfeoffment system in the human world is so loving. Those dukes, earls, and even viscounts are always going to be like dogs. In a year, I don't know how many small and medium nobles have their dog's heads cut off... oh No, it should be a human head...

Looking at it this way, it seems to be a good thing for the human world. Such a little annexation will usher in a unified situation sooner or later...

but!

The most cheating existence jumped out!
Those idiots who believe in the Lord of Radiance... Oh no, they should be called servants of the gods!
The church firmly controls the spiritual beliefs of the human world, and even the Pope alone controls Nuoda's direct territory!
For the nobles and kings scattered in the sand, the church is an irresistible behemoth, and even the canonization of the king requires the Pope to nod in person!
Proper divine authority overrides royal authority!

Even the Grand Knight Commander is helpless against the huge power of the church!

Because the church enshrined three holy knights with the strength of a great knight commander!

Naturally, the church in control of the situation will never allow a secular hero-type king or prince to appear in the human world!
In the eyes of the church, the enfeoffment system is simply the kingly choice, and it is the supreme guarantee for the church to firmly control the secular power!

Therefore, it is okay to have civil wars among nobles in the human world, and it does not matter if small and medium-sized nobles or even the king kill his entire family, but the enfeoffment system must be thoroughly implemented!

As a result, those victors who annexed nobles and nobles had to carry out a brain-deficient enfeoffment system under the strong interference of the church, distributing the swallowed land to the meritorious ministers below according to their merits. As a result, after the battle, only It's just that a group of nobles named John were replaced by a group of nobles named Dre...

I have to admit that the enfeoffment system of the church is very popular!
Those little nobles and knights who worked hard under the lord boss, who didn't want to get a piece of their own fief, or expand their own fief?
It is human nature to prefer the head of a chicken to the tail of a phoenix. If the victors do not enfeoff their soldiers after the war, not to mention the church’s disapproval, those generals and nobles who fought for them will be the first to jump. Come out and rebel!

The boss who won't give the younger brother a fief after winning the territory is too selfish and loveless. How can this kind of lord exist in this beautiful land? We must uphold the will of the Lord of Glory, peel him off, and take this selfish boss by the way. The territory was chopped up and everyone shared it together!

Hello everyone is really good, selfishness is the most abominable thing!
In this way, no matter how talented the lord is, he dare not risk his life to take the annexed land as his own. In every civil war among human nobles, a group of unlucky nobles will die, and then a new group of nobles will be automatically generated ...

This is how the human world, under the influence of the church, keeps going back and forth, carrying out a civil war that can no longer be stupid in Lei Zihao's eyes!

As a matter of course, the human world in this mode has no threat to the half-orc army at all!
If the church had not often taken the lead in fighting against the orc empire, I am afraid that the human world would have been smashed to pieces by the orc army!

Looking at it this way, it seems that there is only one enemy threatening the half-orc army in the Balkans? !
