Lord of Riding and Slashing

Nord let his troops recuperate in Caldera for a period of time, but the environment here is really intrusive. It is quiet both day and night, and there is no vitality and vitality like other towns. Like a dead city.

It can be said that Caldera is a dead city. Except for the nearly 1,000 people of the Nord army, there are only a few hundred people left in the town of nearly 3,000 people. If you add the more than 1,000 people who died a few days ago In such a short period of half a month, nearly 4,000 people died in this small town. It is not too much to call it a dead city.

Although it felt a bit inexplicably silent and gloomy, Nord didn't feel too scared in his heart, because the deaths of these civilians had nothing to do with Nord, and Nord also avenged them, no matter how they said they would not Find Nord's head.

As for the soldiers in the east, Nord is even less worried. Since Nord can kill them once, then if possible, Nord can kill them a second time. What made De feel uncomfortable was the pungent smell of blood that could not dissipate.

During the period of Caldera's cultivation, something happened that made Nord laugh, because a messenger from the East actually found Nord's place, and after he progressed, he realized that something was wrong. The dress is completely different from him, but it is too late for him to escape.

Nord got the news about Marquis Stilwell from the messenger of the East. After the troops in the East were forced to disperse, he led the troops to cruise around Belem, the largest city in the middle, and then in the front At this time, he suddenly discovered that the Marquis of Myron had left unknowingly.

The entire central region is no longer defended by anyone, so Marquis Stilwell wants to gather the troops in the eastern region again and take the city of Belem in one fell swoop, because even though Marquis Merren has left, but with his current strength, he wants to take Lower Belem is also very difficult.

There are also a total of five earls in the eastern border, but because the strength of the eastern border is generally weak, the soldiers of each earl plus those recruited farmers are only about a thousand people, plus the previous period. During the war, Marquis Stilwell also lost a lot of people, so now his manpower is completely insufficient.

The Marquis of Twen defeated an earl in the north, and then defeated another earl in a well-known town after entering the middle. In addition to the two earls that Nord defeated successively during this period, the marquis of the east has already Five to four, only the Marquis of Stilwell and the remaining earl are left. It is estimated that the number of people added together is just over 2,000. With this number of people, it is necessary to capture the largest city in the middle of Belem. impossible.

Even though the Marquis of Merren has left, the defense force of the city of Belem has become very empty, but as long as the city of Belem gathers hundreds of civilians and hundreds of soldiers left behind, the soldiers under the command of the Marquis of Stilwell will be helpless , So after understanding this situation, Marquis Stilwell wanted to gather his troops.

It's just that Marquis Stilwell, who is far away in the city of Belem, doesn't know. The earl he sent out has almost been cleaned up by the Marquis of Twen and Nord. Although Nord is unable to support the city of Belem at this time, but now The Marquis of Stilwell is like a toothless tiger, and it is estimated that he will not cause too much damage to the central region.

Even if the Marquis of Stilwell chooses not to attack the city of Belem and continues to wreak havoc in the central region, Nord is powerless about this. If he wants to maintain justice, he has to look at his own ability. Obviously, the soldiers are still Nord, who is in the recuperation stage, is not suitable to find trouble with Marquis Stilwell.

And the very key point is that Nord believes that the Marquis Stilwell will not let go of such a good opportunity, especially when the Marquis Merren has left, if the Marquis Stilwell is still doing some sneaking in the central region If there is no matter, then he will not be able to become a marquis, the structure is too small, and he has no courage at all.

Nord didn't know whether Marquis Stilwell had noticed when the Marquis of Twain led the troops through the central region, but he felt that Marquis Stilwell would definitely come to find him, because the three earls under him were all missing. No, Nord did not believe that Lord Stilwell would be indifferent.

So during this period of time, Nord gathered all the militias in the previous area, and helped them train for a period of time in the small town of Caldera. When all the militias in this area were assembled, Nord found that the In the meantime, there were so many militiamen in the central region.

There were at least a thousand militiamen gathered from various towns, and then Nord was completely disappointed with them after the training camp. Although they were many, they were actually useless at all, although Nord had put those from The equipment seized by the soldiers in the east was distributed to them.

However, the improvement in combat effectiveness is still very small, and it is estimated that they are similar to those ordinary recruited soldiers, or they are equivalent to those recruited soldiers of the nobles, that is, the cannon fodder that Nord ravaged on the battlefield. The purpose is to be strong and imposing, and then it is the role of absorbing arrows on the battlefield. Nord doesn't care about their combat effectiveness at all.

In Nord's army building philosophy, elite soldiers and strong generals are the most important. Even if there are more cannon fodder regiments on the real battlefield, they will not play a decisive role. There is no benefit other than increasing casualties. Unless a large number of cannon fodder groups are built on the basis of a huge population, the advantages of the crowd tactics are fully utilized, and the enemy is crushed with human lives.

But what Nord lacks most now is the population. Nord can't wait to split it in half. Even if these militiamen are not the population of Nord's territory, Nord doesn't want them to sacrifice in vain. This is not Nord's character. .

After these militiamen had been trained in Caldera City for a period of time, Nord let them return to their town. Nord planned to let them defend their town. After all, when Marquis Stilwell came, Nord didn't want to divide his troops to help them.

However, this is also the original intention of Nord to set up the militia. Nord did not intend to let them fight at the beginning. It is estimated that participating in the battle means doing some work like transporting supplies or cleaning the battlefield. It is estimated that they really have to count on them. At this time, Nord's troops may have encountered a major crisis.

So Nord didn't want them to stay and defend the city at all. Nord was able to defend the city with his soldiers, but he didn't have the ability to attack, so these militiamen who were excited outside were very important. They can protect each other.

More than a thousand people's militia can completely protect this area from the invasion of small groups of troops, so Nord can safely defend the city, and Nord is also very confident in the ability to defend the city, so Nord is now sitting firmly Diaoyutai, even if Marquis Stilwell didn't come, Nord did his best. After all, half of the territory in the central region was rescued by Nord.
