Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 245 They are all people who come to ask for help (5)
The Viscount of Cantabria simply cannot afford so much money now, and cannot even borrow it, because the risk of repayment is very high. He has the support of the elves behind him. After the evil disaster broke out, the elves also sent troops to assist in the defense. Now they have sent masters to assist in defense and support food, but this is all it can do.
Fighting against demons is a collective matter for all ethnic groups in the mainland. The rich will contribute money and the powerful will contribute. It is true that humans are the main force, but the elves paid a large sum of money and materials for this, and also sent a navy. The dwarves provided a large number of weapons, arrows, and magic materials. Various other races have also contributed based on actual conditions, and even halflings have gone to the front lines to work as cooks.
Now the elves are fighting with the dark elves again. Although the scale is small, the people fighting are all professionals. The consumption of spell scrolls and magic materials alone every day is beyond the comparison of ordinary soldiers, and the landlords have no leftover food. .
The same goes for the two half-elf viscounties. No one is much better than the other. It would be good if they could support a thousand soldiers and corresponding professionals.
What's more important is that all this assistance is not free, but is charged at a friendly price, which is not that shady. After all, father and son still have to settle accounts on the mainland, so how can they give it to them for nothing?
Honorable Lord Calvin was in despair at this moment. He originally thought that the equipment cost of a soldier in his own territory, which was more than ten gold coins, was already overestimated, but he did not expect that the equipment of Earl Stewart's soldier was fifty gold coins.
All the treasures in the Cantabria Territory have been used to pay for military expenses. There are tens of thousands of gold coins left, but if they are hundreds of thousands, they will definitely not be available. Using the remaining money to hire Stuart and recruit a few hundred soldiers would not be of much use. It would be better to use it where it is more needed.
Honorable Lord Calvin said with an embarrassed look: "Your Majesty, I'm really sorry, we can't pay enough, so we've stopped asking for help."
Kristine also said with regret: "Then so be it."
In fact, she didn't want to support the Viscounty of Cantabria at all, because the variables involved were too great, but it wouldn't be good to refuse directly, so she made this excuse.
In addition to the regular army, the Stewart Territory also has nearly two thousand city guards. Their equipment is configured according to the kingdom's elite army. Each set is twenty gold coins, and the hiring cost is more than half lower, but Kristen did not mention it at all. Not to mention that the Viscount of Cantabria couldn't afford that much money, even if she could, she wouldn't let her army do stuffing and fighting with demons.
However, just a few days after her comfortable life, Christine received another letter asking for help.
Mage Tower Castle, Study Room.
Elena quietly opened the door a crack and saw the Earl lying on Carlottani's lap. She thought he was asleep and planned to talk later.
Kristine was just lying down and felt someone coming, so she asked: "Elena, what's the matter?"
Elena gently opened the door and came in to report: "Your Majesty, the magic letter from the capital city of France is from His Majesty the King."
"Is it the decree to confer the title of Marquis?"
"My lord, this is a letter asking for help."
"Then don't watch it."
Kristen turned her head so that she could lie in a more comfortable position.
Elena advised: "Your Majesty, it is a letter from His Majesty the King after all. You should read it."
"Don't look at it. It's been half a year since the canonization of a marquis has come to an end, yet you still have the nerve to ask for help. He, a king, can't solve anything on his own."
Elena wanted to persuade her again, but Kristine had already spoken: "Okay, you can go out."
"As ordered."
Carlotani stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the letter."
"Ok."
Elena handed over the letter, then bowed and left.
Carlottani smoothed Christine's loose hair and said, "Master, let me read it to you."
"If you don't listen, you'll feel bad."
Kristine rubbed her head on Carlottani's long black stockings legs. These products were made thinner after her own improvements, and indeed they felt better.
Carlottani lowered her head and whispered in Kristen's ear: "Master, how about I turn into a succubus to make you feel better?"
Kristen rolled her eyes and said weakly: "Stop making trouble, you should read the letter to me."
She is powerless now, but as long as she can control the transformation, Carlotani's attitude of playing with fire will never make her feel better. But don’t worry, we’ll see.
In addition to Christine, the other three field marquises also received letters of help from the king.
After landing in Catalonia County, Kingdom of Iberia, the demon army marched westward and has now reached the Basque Viscounty.
These territories are at the northernmost tip of the Kingdom of Iberia, adjacent to the counties of Languedoc, Pyrenees, and Aquitaine in the Kingdom of France. In order to prevent the demon army from attacking northward, King Louis evacuated all the people in these three counties who were 100 kilometers away from the border.
Although the demon army did not go north but continued to the west, no one could guess what they would do next, and the people who had evacuated did not dare to let them go back. By now, they had missed the spring plowing.
Of course, King Louis was not looking for Christine to buy grain. If he wanted to buy it, he would have sent someone long ago, and it would not be the turn of King Alfonso of the Iberian Kingdom. After all, the Kingdom of France has a strong foundation and can survive this year.
Although the demon army did not attack the Kingdom of France, some demon commanders among them led people northward with a slap on the forehead. The number of each of their teams was often thousands, and there were several big demons or more than a dozen. Nobles could be seen along the way. Can't stop it.
If you can't stop them, you can only continue to retreat, and then the villages and fields will be destroyed. Such a step-by-step retreat will produce more refugees, and the Kingdom of France will be unable to bear it.
The main force was restrained, and King Louis had no choice but to send half of the remaining "Carolingian Knights" over, and the rest had to defend the city of France.
Half of the knights include one master-level deputy captain, three eleventh-level squadron captains, twenty-five seventh-level squad captains, more than two hundred fifth-level knights, five hundred knight attendants, one thousand cavalry, and There are more than 20 legal professionals. The local nobles in the three counties also gathered a thousand mounted infantry to cooperate with the knights.
Why did King Louis send out the knights? Wasn't it because he wanted to intercept the devil on his way north? If you defend the city, you won't need cavalry, but the price will be that all the villages and towns in the three counties except the city will be lost, and all the fields will be destroyed.
But here comes the problem. The area of the three counties is too big. If the knights don't divide their troops, they can't intercept it. If the troops are divided, a master-level deputy captain can only take care of one team. The remaining teams will be doomed if they encounter master-level demons.
