Lord: I have a skill talent tree

Speaking of the results, Ethan couldn't even lift his head.

In the Red Rose area, they were chased by several rebels and ran all over the ground. Later, in Saint Fran, they were chased by goblins who were only half their size and abandoned their armor.

The excellent equipment given to them was not only useless, but also a burden. When they fled, they gave it all to the goblins.

They even had the nerve to report that a squadron of 100 people fought against thousands of well-equipped goblins and was undefeated. In the end, they had no choice but to retreat because of the lack of support.

No one could understand Ethan's mood when he received the battle report.

Fortunately, it was not only Maro City that was lame, but other areas were also lame. Everyone was equally bad, so no one could laugh at anyone.

Among them, the troops sent by Duke Usis should be mentioned in particular.

Their 500-man brigade was chased by 6 1.5-meter goblins for ten miles, and was chased into the military formation of other areas, and more than 200 people died.

When Ethan heard the news, he thought it was a joke, but it turned out to be true.

However, even though it was confirmed to be true intelligence, Ethan still couldn't believe it.

Because he thought, even if he couldn't win, he could always run away.

200 people died in the escape, this is not... Ethan didn't know how to describe it.

Later, a military expert told Ethan that the army attaches great importance to morale in war. If one person retreats, it may cause unrest in the whole team. If it cannot be stopped in time, it will cause collective panic, and people will completely lose their minds at this time.

Especially when retreating, it is okay if there are fewer people, but more people will definitely cause trouble. In the end, it is likely to cause incidents such as trampling and pulling each other's legs.

The 200 people who died were trampled to death by their own people, or they were trampled and injured and unable to move and were killed.

In fact, there might have been more deaths, but fortunately, the direction they fled happened to be the White Rose's army.

When the White Rose army found someone rushing into the formation, they immediately drew their swords and chopped off several leaders, first stopping the defeat.

Then they sent cavalry to find out the situation, and found that there were only a few goblins. The three scout cavalrymen killed them all and brought them back, which ended the farce.

After the farce, White Rose detained all the deserters.

Paul had long been fed up with this messy system and had always wanted to change this situation. Before, because everyone was not under each other's command, he could not control people from other regions.

But this time the defeated army rushed into the battle, which gave him a reason, so he took advantage of the situation and invited all the coalition forces.

In front of tens of thousands of people, the eleven-draw-kill law was implemented.

The so-called eleven-draw-kill law is to draw lots for the defeated and fleeing troops, draw one person in a group of 10, and let the remaining 9 people execute that person, usually by stone or stick.

When the generals and soldiers in other places saw that White Rose was going to execute other people's troops, they were definitely not happy and expressed their opposition.

However, their opposition was useless. Paul's eleven-draw-kill law was supported by extraordinary knights and magicians.

Especially those magicians, they were fragile, and when they went to the battlefield, they relied on cannon fodder to take the lead.

But every time the cannon fodder started fighting, they ran faster than anyone else, exposing them and making them embarrassed.

They were noble wizards, how could they bear such humiliation? Now that they had the chance, they would definitely teach these cannon fodder a lesson.

With the support of the extraordinary knights and magicians, this matter was naturally carried out smoothly.

So, more than 300 people who fled from the battlefield were divided into more than 30 groups, all of whom were stripped naked and drew lots.

There were ten stones in each group, only one of which was a white stone. Whoever drew it would die.

After the drawing, the limbs of the person who drew the white stone would be fixed to the ground, and the other nine people in the same group would pick up stones to smash him to death.

At the beginning, more than 300 people did not dare to take action, and no one tortured him. The scene was very embarrassing for a while.

Paul did not indulge them, so he randomly picked a group and asked them if they were willing to take action.

In the end, no one took action, so he tied up all the people in this group and asked his men to do it. All ten people were smashed to death.

Seeing this scene, the other groups did not hesitate any more and picked up stones to smash their former brothers.

Some people were relatives, the elder brother killed the younger brother, the nephew smashed the uncle...

For a while, a bloody human tragedy took place, blood splattered, and wailing resounded throughout the military camp.

Tens of thousands of people witnessed this tragedy with their own eyes, and the scene was silent except for wailing.

Until the wailing stopped, the military camp of tens of thousands of people was still silent. Even those noble wizards did not dare to speak!

Through this incident, Paul established his prestige and forcibly took away the command of all generals, and no one in other regions expressed opposition.

At this moment, a group of scattered sands finally gathered together.

The next day, under the command of Paul, 40,000 troops finally began to encircle and suppress in an organized, disciplined and purposeful manner.

The soldiers suddenly became different. Not only did they obey orders, but no one retreated in battle. They all bravely moved forward.

Even if they were injured, they would bandage themselves and continue to move forward without even turning their heads.

The old soldiers in Maro City who would go back to the camp to bandage their skin after a scratch never appeared again.

Under this unstoppable momentum, the soldiers suddenly found that those ugly goblins were not as scary as they had imagined. Instead, they were like paper and would break at the touch.

Even those big goblins couldn't stand a few of their swords, so they became more brave and fearless.

Since Paul took over the army, he killed nearly 20,000 goblins in just three days, and the rest fled into the Solan Mountains, completely driving them out of the human activity area.

And the fleeing goblins, as long as they saw the human troops, were trembling with fear, and then ran away like crazy.

So far, the first military operation after the establishment of the South Alliance has come to a perfect end.

After this incident, no regional leader blamed Paul for seizing their military power, and even the victim, Duke Usis, did not mean to blame him.

They were all like Ethan, not only did they not blame him for seizing power, but they admired his decisiveness and means.

This time, the dukes of almost all regions were present in person when the new duke ascended the throne, which is the best proof.

Do you think everyone is here to celebrate the new duke's ascension? No, who the hell has time to bird you, a 5-year-old little duke, everyone is for the face of General Paul.

Even Ethan!

To be exact, they all came to recruit him.

As far as Ethan knew, this General Paul and the new Duke's father did not get along well.

When Duke Baldwin was alive, he had the Duke's protection, so everything went smoothly.

But now that Duke Baldwin has passed away, not only has he lost his protection, but the one in power is still his mortal enemy, and it is hard to say whether he will live or not.

Of course, Ethan is not the only one who knows this, others must also know it.

Since the White Rose can't accommodate him, then everyone will definitely not be polite, and for talents, everyone is willing to lower their status and recruit them in person.

Face is the least valuable thing!

So, Ethan came.

Of course, although Ethan is also recruiting, his purpose is slightly different from others.

Others want to take Paul under their command, but Ethan wants him to lead the Southern Alliance.

The Southern Alliance needs him very much now, because they just received news that the candidate for the Duke of the North has come out.

With all other heirs giving up their rights, Nolan Eagle inherited the title of Grand Duke of the North as the 22nd in line and became the new King of the North...
