That's very badass

Chapter 106 The outbreak of war
It has been a month since Roland left the territory.

It's August.

Middle Kingdom, Earl of Bakar.

A raven landed on Earl Bakar's city. After observing it for a while, it flew directly into the room of memory.

The raven flapped its wings powerfully and made a 'huge' sound, which was very clear in the quiet room of the crow.Awakened the crow room keeper who was sitting in a sweet dream.

His name is Anderson, and he was abandoned by his parents since he was a child because of his ugly appearance. Some kind people went up to check, but after seeing his face, they all chose to give up.

This word was passed on to the former raven breeder by a naughty child, and said that it must be his child who was so ugly.

Instead of blaming the child, he gave him a candy, and then let the child lead him there and adopted the child.

In this way, Anderson grew up with ravens since he was a child. After his adoptive father passed away, he successfully became the next keeper of the crow room, in charge of all the ravens belonging to Count Bakar.

He yawned and came to the raven, and gave it a small piece of meat as a reward. He casually took off the letter from the raven's feet, and glanced at the emblem on the wax paint. He was taken aback when he saw it.

He suspected that he was delusional because he didn't wake up. After all, his lord sent people to ask him if he had any letters from the capital, which made him think he was asleep.

He first slapped his arm, it hurt so much, it didn't look like he was dreaming, he rubbed his eyes and looked again, only then did he confirm that it was a letter from the capital, he looked happy and picked up the letter Then he walked directly to Count Balka's study.

The guards in the main castle saw Anderson running all the way and listened to his shouted letter from the capital. They did not conduct any investigations, nor did they have any surprises, because they had long been accustomed to his impatience.

They are also waiting for a letter from the Royal Capital, and they hope that this is a message from the Royal Capital to start the war!
As for the worry about someone being impersonated, Anderson grew up in the castle. They all watched him grow up and were already familiar with his 'ugly face', and most people couldn't impersonate him.

They took the initiative to get out of the way and opened the partition doors in the main castle, allowing them to pass through quickly.

After arriving at the study smoothly, the guards opened the door directly after confirming Anderson's identity, because Earl Bakar asked about this almost every day during this period.

"Earl Bakar, there is a letter from the capital."

Earl Bakar, who was correcting documents, immediately put down his work and suddenly stood up. With his eyes wide open, he came directly to Anderson in a few steps and took the letter.

After reading it, Earl Bakar felt exhilarated all over during the dog days, and immediately laughed three times, "Good job, Anderson, go down and receive the reward."

Obviously the letter brought him joyful information. Considering the current situation, it could only be information about the war between the two countries. After all, nothing would make him happier than being able to obtain land.

I saw it clearly stated, 'The Kingdom of Rhodes is gathering an army to go to the royal capital. We hope that everyone on the border will work together to defeat Marquis Leete's army first, hoping to occupy more land before the army of the Kingdom of Rhodes arrives. '

Apparently, His Majesty Sabote took into account the greedy character of the nobles, and formulated a battle plan based on this. At the same time, he pointed out the fact that they can only occupy more land after defeating the Marquis of Lite first.

When Anderson was about to leave the door, Earl Bacal came up with a 'brilliant' plan, and called him back and gave orders.

"Send a message to other border nobles and tell them that we, the Bakar family, suggest that we attack the city and capture the territory separately. Doesn't Marquis Talit want to gather his troops? We have to divide our troops. I want to see if he divides his troops."

Obviously, in Count Bakar's view, it is better for everyone to shoulder the responsibility together.

Moreover, in his plan, whether Marquis Little divides his troops or not, he will fall into a 'trap'. When each enemy has tens of thousands of soldiers, Marquis Little obviously does not dare to act rashly.

Because his few soldiers would become weaker once divided, how many times can he clear the siege?He was even more afraid that this was an enemy's conspiracy, so he led his troops out of the city and defeated them one by one.

All he can rely on is his [-] troops and solid city defenses. If he can hold it, he can also threaten the enemy's rear and prevent them from going too deep.

If his army was defeated, the enemy might march in even faster, and his only option was to hold the city and wait for reinforcements.

This was a conspiracy. Without enough troops, he had no choice.

The border nobles of the Kingdom of Hastings will, after cleaning the surrounding castles, complete the encirclement of the Marquis of Lite before the army of the Kingdom of Rhodes arrives, and eat the army.

It seems that in their view, capturing a city with 10 people garrisoned is an easy task. Although their border has hundreds of thousands of troops, it may not be possible to conquer the city in a short time.

Of course, it is also possible that they knew this, but were driven by interests, and selectively ignored it.

Because if they besieged the city first, they might not even be able to acquire the land, and they even shared it with the later nobles. Maybe this is what they were worried about.

The only thing you can rely on in a war is a strong city, good location, and good timing, only strong and elite soldiers, and the Kingdom of Hastings just has strong soldiers. As for whether they are elite or not, they have to go through the test of war up.

After all, they have been at peace for too long. Although there are border frictions, they are mostly small-scale, and more soldiers have not been tested by war.

What they didn't know was that the southern border of the Rhodes Kingdom had begun to gather, and within a few days of receiving the news, they had already mobilized their troops.

Their decision also allowed them to avoid the most dangerous city of Lite, because they were likely to encircle them carelessly due to miscalculation of the situation, but were wiped out instead.

This is where information matters.

After Anderson left, Earl Bakar walked out of the room and said to the guard at the door: "Call the family members and family knights to the lord's hall to discuss matters. The war between us and the Kingdom of Rhodes has begun!"

Hearing Earl Bakar's high-spirited and affirmative words, the guard felt his blood boil and rushed straight to the top of his head, making him dizzy for a moment. There was only one voice echoing in his mind, that was 'the war has begun'.

"Yes, my lord."

Looking at the soldiers who were trembling with excitement, Earl Bakar nodded in satisfaction, the military spirit is available!

This scene happened all over the border of the Kingdom of Hastings, and of course it was not limited to the border. King Hastings sent the same order to the nobles in the north of the kingdom.

Lord's Hall.

Count Bakar sat high on his seat.

It didn't take long for everyone to arrive. Looking at the knights and family members who were fully armed and looking eager, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good. It seems that everyone is very concerned about this matter, so let's stop talking nonsense. Knight Munir will leave first to gather our soldiers and tell them that the war they have been waiting for has begun!"

"Yes, my lord."

Knight Munir immediately took the order, took the sword given by Earl Bakar, saluted, and walked directly to the school grounds.

He was going to gather the family soldiers first, and when he thought of the war, he felt a surge of emotion, and even the ordinary-looking maid of the Earl felt a little pleasing to his eyes.

"Father, do we want to join forces with other nobles, gather a large army, besiege the Marquis Lite first, and then divide our forces to wipe out the surrounding area?"

After Master Eric finished speaking, he won the support of most of the family knights. They all roared as if the land of the Kingdom of Rhodes was already in their possession.

Count Bakar looked at his son and heir and couldn't help feeling that he was still too young, but he still had room to grow, and he could still teach him for many years.

Thinking of this, Earl Bakar smiled happily, "Eric, although your method is good, but I have better attention, and I have sent letters to other nobles.

We will march separately, wipe out the surrounding area first, and finally encircle Kuro Litt, and wipe them out first before the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Rhodes arrive. "

Earl Bakar's attitude of calling him by his first name showed that he did not take Marquis Lite seriously.

Obviously they had guessed Count Bakar's plan, but they did not intend to say anything more. The Lord's Hall fell into silence, and then there was a burst of cheers, and everyone praised Count Bakar's wisdom.

Because the occupied land is their own, it is obviously not in their interest to besiege the Marquis of Lite first.

"Father, do we need to wait for their reply?"

“There’s no need to wait, we just want to inform them so that when they besiege Marquis Little, we will seize land along the border and say that we took advantage of them.

You must know the king's order, but let us destroy Marquis Lit first, but we have a better way, of course we must use it.But we must kill Marquis Leete first before Rhodes' reinforcements arrive.

Otherwise, not to mention the missed opportunity, you will even be punished for disobedience. This kind of punishment must involve land, so this is the most basic strategy and must be completed.

As long as we send the letter, they have no reason to blame us. What they choose to do is their business. We must do it. This is a great opportunity to expand the land.

I believe that as long as they receive the letter, they will also choose to do so. After all, our main purpose is to solve our predicament, and our predicament is the lack of land (it sounds grand, but it is actually for profit).

But remember one thing, that is to push along our territory line all the way.Don't occupy the land of other nobles. In this way, after the fall of this side, the unoccupied land next to it may choose to retreat.

Or choose to surrender, because as we go deeper, they will inevitably become alone.

Indirectly speaking, it can be considered that we have helped them, and as long as their interests are not damaged, they must be happy to see the results.

Is there any problem? If not, we will be ready to go. The family soldiers who must have been waiting for the moment have already been summoned by Knight Munir and are ready to go. "

"My lord, let's go. I can't wait. The Viscount of Hess that we destroyed last time, I alone can occupy it."

"Ha ha."

"I can do it too."

Knight Stan's teasing caused a burst of laughter. As they joked around, the serious atmosphere instantly became amusing, and Count Bakar also laughed.

"Okay, since you are so impatient, get ready to go." Count Bakar looked around and said passionately: "The first person to climb the city wall in each battle will definitely be given priority when the land is divided in the future."

Seeing the family knights with high morale, Earl Bakar immediately gave a strong dose, which made them, including the second sons, breathe quickly.

In this world without equal inheritance, as a second son, they do not have any inheritance rights. They can only use their own efforts to become a more trusted family knight, or through military exploits, can they have a chance to obtain land.

They seem to have seen that they have become a real nobleman.Showing their might in their own land, they will also form their own family, and even evolve into a new family, which is a rare opportunity for generations.

As long as they think of these, they feel that their blood is churning, and they can even feel the power of their own expansion.Of course, this is just their illusion, they are still mortal bodies.

They are different from other kingdoms. They have no borders with foreign races, and they have no way to open up territories. Their territories have never grown since the armistice of the Four Kingdoms. A village can make them crazy.

From Count Bakar's point of view, the lives of these knights are not important, and can even be said to be worthless.If they can really survive to the end, he will not be stingy with the reward of the fief. This will of course have to be after the Bakar family obtains enough territory.

Only then will they consider giving them a fief of a village.

As long as they attack first, they will take the lead and boost morale, because they have excellent armor and better skills, which will allow them to kill and tear a hole from the very beginning.

This will make the siege faster while minimizing their losses.

When the soldiers guarding the city looked at the knights taking the lead on the other side, and then looked at themselves hiding behind, waiting for the prisoners to pay the ransom one by one, this would definitely have a huge blow to their morale.

As for whether it would be a blow to their morale if they fell on the city wall, they must have thought too much. The soldiers who went up the city wall were too busy to take care of themselves, and the soldiers who didn't go up couldn't see this situation either.

What's more, on the battlefield, there are arrows and corpses everywhere, as well as shouts from soldiers on both sides. They can only escape from it all by charging quickly. Their minds have long been emptied, and there is no room for any other thoughts.

As for the death of knights, he can also promote some soldiers who were the first to climb the city wall as knights on the battlefield.In his opinion, this is better, the enfeoffment of land is only for those gentlemen, and has nothing to do with the soldiers.

However, becoming a knight can be realized immediately, and after becoming a knight, you may be entrusted with land. Under the double incentive, the soldiers will inevitably fight bravely, without fear of life or death.

Once this atmosphere arises, his army will be invincible and invincible.Of course he will not choose cities that are difficult to capture, but will choose to wipe out the surrounding areas first.Of course, these strong men must assemble a large army and attack together, which is in line with his interests and the kingdom's strategy.

But if the interests are big enough, he doesn't mind sending his own family members, even the second son, all of which can be sacrificed.The family has given them a good life, the cultivation of killing skills, and the most sophisticated armor, and it is time to contribute their strength.

When they came outside the city, they looked at the [-] war-ready soldiers who had assembled. They were all wearing armor and mighty and majestic uniforms. "The land you have been waiting for for a long time is not far away in front of you, across the border of the Kingdom of Rhodes." The dividing line, go and claim the land there."

"Take the land."

The soldiers shouted one after another. Under the leadership of the flag bearer, they followed Earl Bakar and set off. Under the strong wind, the flags flew.

Regarding the speculations of other nobles, it is actually that Count Bakar overestimated them. Before the king arrived, or someone with enough prestige came to suppress them.Otherwise, they would definitely not choose to besiege the city guarded by Marquis Little.

Driven by their interests, they will inevitably choose to occupy more land in order to absorb more land in the final territorial distribution.

And after the non-border nobles came, they found that these 'dogs' had already occupied the land. They might choose to continue marching, but they might encounter the main force of the Rhodes Kingdom.

Or because of the problem of interests, they will raise filth, and even hold each other back.
