Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning

"Father."

After two months, Angus finally came out of the underground treasure house.

Looking at his father's glowing face, he must have completed establishing contact with the demiplane.

"Father, I'm in a good mood today. Let's check how you're practicing first." Angus's grumpy heart had nowhere to rest, so he picked up Weilin and headed straight to the training ground.

After some loving teaching, the energy that had nowhere to vent was released.

Weilin lay on the ground, looked at the clone beside him who had been beaten all over his head, and touched his face. Fortunately, his cultivation had improved, otherwise he would have been beaten.

Seeing his father stop, Weilin took back the clone.

In the hall of the city lord's palace, Angus sat at the head of the table, listening to the reports of Dredd and Migos.

Weilin sat aside, eating cakes, drinking tea, and studying in silence.

"My lord, the war between Duke Bogonghan and the king is at a stalemate, and there is no obvious progress."

"According to the intelligence sent back by Lord Simon, the Southern Army suffered 150,000 casualties during the two-month siege, and the Expeditionary Force suffered more than 50,000 casualties, with 30,000 injured."

"Among them, thirty-three gold professionals died in the battle, and more than 6,700 silver professionals died in the battle. The aristocratic troops who came to the central province of the Principality of Bogonghan were basically exhausted, and six earls died. , there are more than 30 barons and viscounts who are enfeoffed by the Grand Duke, and more than 80 nobles in other categories have died out, leaving a large area of ​​ownerless land in the central region."

Angus tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said, "Our Highness Allen is starting to take action. Otherwise, after winning the title of Grand Duke, so many generals who have followed him for many years will not be able to entrust so much land."

After hearing his father's words, Weilin's heart did not change and he continued to eat melon.

If he had stood in the third prince's position, he would probably have done even more ruthlessly than he did. Not only were all the nobles who had defected to him halfway eliminated, but even those who were half-hearted were not able to escape. They were all eliminated in this war.

"Sir, shall our plan continue?" Migos looked at Angus and asked.

"Continue, the primary purpose of this war is to push Simon forward, seize the title of an earl, and allow the branch of the Aix family to grow in the Principality of Berggham." Angus did not hesitate and asked Migos to continue according to the plan. conduct.

There is a huge gap between the earls of the principality and the earls of the kingdom.

To compare with the land area, the count of the Kingdom of Ilia needs to have at least 25,000 square kilometers of land, a population of not less than 500,000, and a standing combat force of not less than 10,000.

In contrast, a count in the Principality of Bogonghan only needs to have a land area of ​​3,000 square kilometers. It doesn't matter the population, as long as you have an army that meets the standards, whether you hire adventurers or temporarily borrow other people's troops to supplement the number.

Of course, taxes are indispensable, otherwise there is a risk of being deprived of the title.

In other words, the title of earl in a principality is not as good as the title of viscount in the kingdom. This is the consensus of all countries.

In some principalities, some barons and viscounts would allocate a knighthood and a manor village to powerful professionals in exchange for the other party's military support.

According to Weilin's understanding of the aristocratic system in neighboring countries, no matter what kind of political system is implemented in the kingdom, one thing is common, that is, all noble titles in the country must be awarded by the royal family, and the object of allegiance must be the king. Other nobles are not enfeoffed to subordinates. Qualifications of nobility.

The implementation of this rule is, on the one hand, to ensure the combat effectiveness of the nobles, and on the other hand, to strengthen the authority of the royal family.

For principalities, there is no such rule. The two-level titles of marquis and earl are awarded by the grand duke; baron and viscount are awarded by the earl and marquis, and can also be awarded by the grand duke; as for the lower level knighthood, all nobles can be awarded.

If some families are powerful, they will not enfeoff lower-level nobles. No one will do the stupid thing of weakening themselves if they are protected by force.

Afterwards, Dredd continued to report: "My lord, there are currently 200,000 Southern Army troops in Chris Province and 80,000 expeditionary forces, including 45,000 Aix Legion and 10,000 taels in three battalions of Rodente Legion. Thousands of people, two battalions of the Themexis Legion have more than 7,000 people, three battalions of the Sixth Legion have 12,000 people, and three brigades of the Third Silver Knights have 4,000 people.”

"The specific strength of the Southern Army's 200,000 men." Angus looked at Dredd and asked in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Dredd replied helplessly: "According to the statistics of his subordinates, there are thirty-five gold professionals, 2,326 silver professionals, and 9,328 bronze professionals. , there are more than 60,000 people at the apprentice level, of which 80% are low-level apprentices, and the remaining 130,000 are all ordinary people without any strength."

"This situation is the result of two months of training by my subordinates."

"To put it bluntly, my subordinates and Lord Migos join forces and lead the standing army of 10,000 Eagle Leaders to slaughter all these southern troops."

Angus fully understands Dredd's complaints.

Compared to the Southern Army under the command of the General Headquarters, the Southern Army in Chris Province is really just a bunch of cannon fodder. What do so many ordinary men have to do with delivering food to the other party?

"The 200,000-strong Confederate Army selected its elite troops and organized them into 12 battalions of 5,000 men. The rest of the army was organized into teams of 1,000 men and sent to the rear to farm. In name, the order of battle of the Confederate Army was maintained."

This solution is considered the best for the current situation.

A large part of this group of people were recruited from the southern province of the Principality of Bogonghan. Disbanding on the spot would cause a series of security problems. It would be better to recycle the waste and let them farm the land.

In the next month, the border between the Chris Province and the South German Sarin Province was peaceful. Schenk Sirik, out of caution, sent small groups of troops step by step to test the other side.

Angus punched hard and ate the bait released by the opponent at an extremely fast speed.

The two sides persisted for a while. After Dredd had refined the 200,000 Confederate troops, it was time for Angus to show off his power.

The weather is getting warmer. Weilin and Kyle are searching for talents everywhere in the Chris Province. As long as they are suitable, they will basically visit them. They will use their strength and money. Basically, there will be no uncooperative ones. .

In addition, more than 20 young women who are capable, beautiful, and capable, and who can sacrifice themselves for the family, have also been recruited.

He was really worried about the group of singles in his territory.

At the beginning of April, Weilin returned to Beiyi City, returned to the military camp, put on his armor again, and went to the front line, preparing to counterattack the South Desarin Province.
