Lord of War
Vol 2 Chapter 35: .All he wants is war
Viscount Rud has been having nightmares lately.
Since a month ago, he saw a cloud of red fire erupting from the direction of the original Shaofu leader, he fell into a certain panic. This emotion brought him too much pressure. Even if he didn't understand anything, he could feel the terrifying power contained in the fire cloud. This power made him feel an unmatched illusion in his heart. At this moment, he regretted coming to find it. Trouble with Lord Panda.
Rudd Mitchlin is a new noble in the Kingdom of Darbion. After this family based on commercial development became a nobleman, it did not quickly integrate into the aristocratic system of the Kingdom of Darbion. Very strong rejection, and the emerging aristocracy is largely dominated by military reformers, and the Mitchlin family, who was born as a businessman, naturally finds it difficult to integrate. Although Rudd was high hopes by his father when he was young, he hopes to expand the influence of the family, whether it is to integrate into the old aristocratic circle or the emerging aristocratic circle, it is a good thing for the Michelin family.
That’s why Rudd joined the coalition without hesitation after knowing the identity of Ronnis. As long as he can catch up with the Boulder family, the most influential nobleman in the Darbion Kingdom, he will become the hottest person in the entire Darbion Kingdom in an instant, not to mention integrating into the old aristocratic circle or the emerging nobleman. Circle, the people of these two aristocratic circles even want to draw him in turn.
Out of this beautiful expectation, Rudd will put all his capital into this gamble.
He still has some confidence in his abilities.
Perhaps he can't compare with Baron Ronnis in terms of military capabilities, but he also has specialties that Ronnis doesn't have-he is one of the few lords in the kingdom of Darbion who can manage both military and government affairs. His territory has gradually become prosperous thanks to his hard work, and now he no longer needs to invest funds in trade and commerce, but can start to feed back funds to him, which also allows him to start adding more Attention and energy are devoted to the building of the army.
Originally, his life should be getting better and better.
But I don’t know why. Once he remembered the fire cloud he saw a month ago, he felt a panic of fear. It was the kind of fear that emanated from the depths of the heart, the tremor that couldn't be restrained at all. In the past month, he has not slept peacefully for a day, even if there are two high-level silver masters around him, but I don’t know why Lu Germany just has no sense of security at all.
He always wondered, would it be too rash to agree to join Ronnis’s invitation to join the coalition plan?
Rudd got up from the bed and glanced at the empty soft bed, wondering why there was a sudden loneliness in his heart.
His family is still too young. It has developed from the great-grandfather's generation. After three generations of hard work, his father finally became a nobleman, but only had an identity title. Although he got married afterwards, he spent most of his life working hard to become a nobleman on the ground. In Rudd’s impression, he and his father did not see each other several times a year until he was eight or nine years old. Finally stabilized, his father got his wish and became a nobleman on the ground, but his mother died of illness.
Lovesickness becomes ill.
He once hated his father, so when he was arranged by his father to go to the Military Academy at the age of nine, he did not refuse, just thinking that the farther away from his father the better. Then he stayed at the Military Academy for six years. During that time, he did not return home once. After graduating at the age of sixteen, he served as an officer in the Royal Army of Darbion, and he was also in the Ronnis that he knew. After three years of training, he joined the Kingdom Expeditionary Army at the age of nineteen. After four years of expedition, he caught up with the invasion of the Principality of Lane. That battle was also the first time he led his troops back to his father’s territory as an officer to participate. defense.
Naturally, it goes without saying that the kingdom of Darbion was completely defeated, and the territory his father had worked so hard to manage for his entire life became the spoils of others.
For this reason, his father got a serious illness. When he was dying, Rudd seemed to have finally found out in his conscience and went to see his father for the last time. It was also on that side that made him firm in his desire to make the Mitchlin family a great noble in the Kingdom of Darbion. For this reason, he gave up the title of earl that he might obtain, inherited the title of viscount from his father, and became a noble on the ground. The development of the family and the territory is constantly working hard.
After nearly five years of development, his territory has finally begun to prosper.
But looking back, Rud realized that he seemed to miss a lot of things. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the sweet smile in his memory, but the family power behind this smile also made Rudd understand that the girl was not raised by himself, as Kazes Hodgedi. The second daughter of the prince, her future had already been determined, even if he wanted to marry her, her father would not necessarily agree.
That is the daughter of a prince.
"If you can catch the Boulder family line..." Rudd whispered softly.
The cruelty of reality has made him understand that even if he can develop the territory and the army no matter how strong he is, but without allies, he is just a piece of fat in the eyes of others. Wars between nobles often break out. As long as it is not on the scale of a national war, other surrounding lords will naturally not be able to intervene. It is also a contest for strength and allies.
"As long as I can enter the sight of Prince Kazes, maybe I will really have a chance." Rudd squeezed his hands, and the fear in his heart gradually calmed down. The future is also limitless. As long as I continue to maintain a friendly relationship with him, I can also succeed! This gamble, I have nothing to lose, anyway, I am a winner anyway!"
Like hypnosis, Rudd continued to puff himself up, and his eyes gradually became quiet.
There was a rapid knock on the door.
"Come in." Rude said in a deep voice.
The door was pushed open, and a plainly dressed middle-aged man stepped in.
The two high-ranking silver masters under Rude's command were all those who followed his father back then, and were cultivated by his father with exhaustion of effort. However, the strength of these two people does not seem to be very good. Both are over forty years old and are still in the upper silver stage. If there is no big opportunity, these two people will probably stop at this level in this life. Fortunately, these two family knights are still loyal to the Michelin family. At least they never thought of leaving. They also survived the most painful and difficult days with Rudd, and now they both have it. To his own manor.
"Uncle Northen, what's the matter?" Seeing the middle-aged man's face, Rude hurriedly asked.
"Master, Baron Ronnis has lost."
"Lost?" Lu De was taken aback for a moment, then said, "What's the matter?"
"The lord is more cunning and aggressive than we thought." Northen said in a deep voice, "A few days ago, he secretly entered the territory of Baron Ronnies, and then launched a raid. The specific process of the battle was not discussed. It’s not clear, but according to the information received, the lord named Sean started with a raid and created a chaos in the camp of Baron Ronnies, and then seemed to take control of the stable area, forcing Baron Ronnies to rehabilitate him. The cavalry can't deploy a formation, and then the fighting situation is not clear."
"At present, we only know that Baron Ronnies should have fallen into Sean's hands, and now this lord is leading the troop on a swaying return journey. According to the feedback from the guerrillas, the size is about four hundred."
"Lonnis actually lost?" Rudd frowned. "Is there a way to find out how many people the lord brought when the war broke out?"
"No way." Northen shook his head regretfully, "The situation is very complicated now. The other two barons have already planned to retreat. Master, I think it is better for us to retreat now?"
Rudd did not answer Northen’s question, but frowned and asked: "You said that the lord is now on his swaying return journey?"
Although I don’t know why Rudd wanted to ask, Northen still said, "Yes."
"This lord has great ambitions." Rudd's brows have deepened. A person who can develop both the government and military affairs of the territory will certainly not be a idiot. "What he wants is a game. War. That's right! This leader is a war! Maudger and Elsie, even we are just excuses and pretences. Maudger must have some unknown secret! Northen Uncle, get the map."
Nuosen didn't understand, but he immediately took the map according to Rudd's orders.
This map is not much different from the one given by Asuna to Sean, except that the names of certain places on the map are different, but the fineness is obviously better, and it can already be compared with William. The fineness of the map made is comparable, and it can be seen that Rudd's emphasis on the map is definitely not lower than that of William.
But on this map, Rudd did not see any wonders. His first reaction was that the Principality of Ryan had some secret information that they didn’t know, and it was possible that there was something buried in the Mordge’s collar. A certain treasure. But soon he overthrew this idea, because if it was just like this, they could organize a small team to enter, so that it would not attract attention.
After a few seconds of contemplation, Rudd drew the outline of the map on a piece of white paper, and marked both the enemy and the enemy in two colors, red and blue, and then painted the area representing the Modger collar in red.
When Rudd finished this action, the whole person was stunned for an instant, his face was as scared as he had seen a ghost: "Strategic forward base!"
Even if Northen didn’t know anything about military issues, he knew very well what the six words "strategic forward base" meant. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at Rudd: "Is the Marquise of Tonys still Want to start another war?"
"Even if this is not the case, as long as this territory is taken by her, all the surrounding area will be restrained by her. By then, she will really be completely in the shadow of her threat." Rudd's face was a little pale, originally The already calm and peaceful heart panicked again. He uncomfortably remembered the fire cloud he saw a month ago, "I will immediately find a way to inform the Boulder family. Save it!"
"but……"
"There is nothing but, Uncle Northen!" Rudd said in a deep voice, "We have nothing to lose, so this time we are all winners anyway. But if the Kingdom of Darbion does not exist, then we will win again. Many, but also a loser!... The Marquis of Tonis would never come up with such a strategy, the Lord Sean Connery is a lunatic!"
