Lord of Riding and Slashing

A month later, Nord left the Eastern Territory alone, without a single soldier behind him. Nord galloped on the rugged mountain road. He saw that his face was very tired, but there was an unconcealable look in his eyes. Excited look.

Nord has been occupying various towns in the east for more than a month. Except for the beginning, there are still many towns resisting Nord, but when Nord took down a few towns, his name spread throughout the east Open, especially the news that Nord defeated Marquis Stilwell is spreading wildly in the East.

In fact, part of this is the news released by Nord himself, but more of it is people spreading the news consciously, because there were some gossip in the East that said that Marquis Stilwell was defeated by a young nobleman, but there were not many people. believe.

But after Nord arrived in the East, this news was immediately confirmed. In addition, Nord did not choose to harass the civilians after capturing those towns. Thanks to his good reputation, Nord later came to the towns in the East. These aristocrats were basically looking forward to surrender, and Nord was not hindered much at all.

In fact, the most difficult battle in the Eastern Region was the capture of Devin City, which was the territory of Marquis Stilwell, so the nobles in Devin City had a very strong will to resist, and they also caused some troubles for Nord. But under the fierce attack of Nord soldiers, Divin City was quickly captured by Nord.

Nord has more or less absorbed some of the tactics of the Seaman Kingdom in this war. Although Nord will not let his soldiers rush to the city wall to die, there are still many who want to lure the enemies out of the city wall. To find a way, Nord pretended to attack the city wall with his own troops.

But every time they just climbed the ladder, they had no intention of attacking the city wall at all, but the soldiers in Divin City didn't know the intention of Nord, and they charged every time amid the pretended shouts of the soldiers of Nord. Come out, and what greeted them was the sharp arrow rain of Nord's long-range troops.

After a few times, the soldiers of Divin City were no longer fooled, just like wolves are coming. After several times of being fooled, the soldiers of Divin City simply couldn't come out. Seeing this, Nord directly ordered the troops under his command to start a general attack , In this way, they were immediately caught off guard, and the walls of Divin City were also lost because of this.

The soldiers in Divin City were still too simple, and they were fooled in the end. They saw the first floor of Nord and thought they could deal with it with the second floor, but in fact Nord is the fifth floor. Hey, I didn't expect that, so they are still too tender (the gold medal chef's puff pastry is too fragrant).

In fact, when Nord captured Divin City, the battle in the East Territory was over, but Nord still led troops to capture all the towns in the East Territory, large and small. Therefore, during this month, Nord's The footsteps have traveled all over the entire Eastern Territory, and I have also learned about the general situation of the Eastern Territory.

Generally speaking, the eastern border is indeed richer than the northern border, but it is not too much. The common people are also struggling with food and clothing, but the civilians in the eastern border are not like the civilians in the northern border. Every winter, they will be hungry. A large number of people died. Due to the climate, the cold season in the east is not as cold as in the north.

This climatic condition gave the civilians in the eastern border a glimmer of life, allowing them to search for food in the wild even in the cold winter. Although food in winter was very scarce, it was better than nothing. At least saving their lives was their biggest concern.

Moreover, the reason why Nord wants to observe all the towns in the Eastern Territory is to know how much war potential there is in the Eastern Territory. After walking through the entire Eastern Territory, Nord made a rough estimate. Currently, he is recruiting three people from the Eastern Territory. Four thousand people is not a big problem.

In fact, relying on the population of the Eastern Territory, Nord can recruit more manpower, but this may put greater pressure on Nord's financial problems. Although Nord is not very short of money now, thousands of soldiers The monthly expenses are also an astronomical sum.

Especially now that Nord has just acquired such a large territory, all the territories are in a state of waste, and there are a lot of places that need to spend money. Nord thinks that recruiting 4,000 troops from the East is enough. What Nord needs are elite soldiers, not a group of cannon fodder rushing to the battlefield.

The reason why Nord returned to Isaac in such a hurry was to seek assistance. It was not a war issue, but that the huge East Territory relied on Nord to handle affairs every day, especially Nord who had just taken over the Eastern Territory. Many things have to be dealt with in a hurry, and Nord is simply too busy.

Nord had no choice but to return to the Isaacs to bring in reinforcements. Now the Eastern Territory still lacks a task to command the overall situation. Just like the Scholars of Hill to the Isaacs, Nord needs someone to help him Manage the newly captured Eastern Territory.

After Nord came out of the tavern in Tammy Town and didn't get what he wanted, Nord had to take Judge Matthew over, because now Fort Isaac is in a very important position, and it's like Nord's forces The heart of Nord, which supplies blood to other sites of Nord, is still inseparable from the leadership of the Hill scholar.

Nord, who couldn't find manpower, had to use Judge Matthew first. I believe that Judge Matthew must have learned a lot about managing the territory after getting along with Scholars Hill for so long. The nobles are very honest, and there is still a large army in the east to support Judge Matthew. Nord believes that Judge Matthew will be able to manage the affairs of the east.

Along with Judge Matthew, Old Moore was transferred back from the cottage. Because Nord was afraid that the soldiers in the East Territory would not have anyone to lead them, so he asked Old Moore and Judge Matthew to go to the East Territory together. Execute the conscription plan of the Nord plan.

It happened that Judge Matthew and Old Moore cooperated in the management of the Eastern Territory. Judge Matthew was in charge of administration. By the way, he could organize and implement the codes he had already begun to prepare. After Nord proposed the idea of ​​nation-building, Judge Matthew believed that when the nation was founded, The timing is very opportune to promulgate a brand new code of law.

And he has been working hard for this. Before, Judge Matthew wanted to conduct experiments in Isaac, but was rejected by Scholars Nord and Hill, because promulgating a new code would definitely cause people to be uncomfortable for a period of time. , but this period is when Isaac leader goes all out, and there can be no mistakes at all.

Therefore, there has never been a suitable place to experiment with the code that Judge Matthew has been obsessed with, but the Eastern Territory that Nord just obtained is a very good experimental field. Nord can let Judge Matthew do it freely, and only Nord's army stays in the East. One day in the border, Nord believes that there will be no chaos in the east.

The most nervous thing in Nord in the east is the 4,000 soldiers that Old Moll is about to recruit. Nord doesn't care much about other things. You can let Judge Matthew let go, because after Nord establishes the country, he will definitely have to do it again. For large-scale reforms, Nord can't look down on the current enfeoffment system.

The system of enfeoffment is too backward, and it can't give full play to the full strength of the Nord territory, and the potential for war is also very low, and the administrative efficiency is not high. The country that Nord wants to build must be centralized.
