Chapter 504: Preparing for War
Chapter 513 Preparing for War
"Your Highness, who do you want to go to war with?" Nyx looked at the army gathering below the castle, with a hint of pleading in her eyes. She was worried that her husband, who had just married her, would step into the battlefield...
"Don't worry, nothing will happen!" Roland touched her head and reassured her.
"Yeah!" Nyx nodded reluctantly, but the deep distrust in his eyes made Roland couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that this little girl didn't believe in him.
"Apophis Breo successfully occupied the old pass. The orcs did not defend it, which gave him an advantage. But spring is coming, and the orcs will definitely go back when the weather warms up..." Roland glanced at Ni Nicks did not continue to speak. After all, that was all he had to say. If he didn't understand, he would be a fool.
"Then you want to..." Nyx said timidly while pinching the corner of his clothes.
"The king will never leave his queen." Roland smiled and reassured Nyx. Although Apophis Breo was his vassal, the vassal's land actually had little to do with the vassal. Roland He won't fight for him, and it's good to be able to support him. Compared with the dirty things that many kings do to prevent the powerful nobles from getting bigger, Roland is already considered a wise king.
"Alas..." Roland sighed. The system was dead now. It was of little use except for giving out some garbage every day. Moreover, it was very difficult to complete the main mission.
The territory controlled by a hundred miles in radius is okay, but those ten towns are killing Roland. The towns currently under Roland's rule are Rapid City, Delwin Town, Tuput Territory, Lulong Fortress, and a Caotai team. The Lion's Castle is still 5 short of the first task! Moreover, the requirements of the system have actually been very relaxed. Even the territory of Tuput, which is more rough than the village, has been transferred to the town. King Roland feels sorry for him being so sensible.
"Don't worry, the nobles of the empire will not fall like this, the Dragon God will protect us!" Nyx thought Roland was worried about Apophis Breo, so he comforted him.
"Yeah." Roland said goodbye to Nyx after saying a few casual words.
…
"Okay, my general, tell me how many people can be taken out?" Roland looked at Ormsk standing in front of him and said calmly.
"Okay, Your Highness, now we have 110 Lagrand Empire Vanguard Knights, 200 Lagrand City Guards, 800 Battanian Archers, 100 Dovinian Heavy Swordsmen, and 100 El Nino Rangers. Name, 50 Lordaeron Rangers, 200 Lagrand Royal Guards, 1,500 Rapid Infantry, 200 levy light infantry, 100 Lagrand Heavy Cavalry, 8 Priests, 1 Fire Mage, Crusader 100 spear and shield soldiers, 300 Crusader archers, 20 Crusader heavy shield soldiers, 15 Cross Bauhinia Knights, 26 Duchy light cavalry, 10 Woodland Warriors, and 5 Griffin Knights, a total of 3845 people! Among them, the Crusaders can be extracted! After all, the soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Nyx are not compatible with our current system." Ormsk shook his head.
"The light infantry has been abolished. Yunfeng has almost turned them into farmers. If we want to reduce our influence to a minimum, we can only deploy the Crusaders." Ormsk analyzed.
"Wouldn't this be bad? After all, there are only so many people left in the Principality of Nyx." Roland's expression changed. He had to worry about Nyx's feelings. After all, what is the difference between doing this and weakening the queen's family power? ? Although the Crusaders are loyal to themselves, they are essentially a private army belonging to Nyx. This can be clearly seen from Knight Commander Lavian. There is always a sense of alienation towards Roland Lavian, and he has never He had not sworn allegiance to Roland, which made Roland resentful but helpless.
"Tsk!" Omsk was stunned for a moment and then his expression changed wildly, "Bloody!" Why did I forget this? Can people from the rear party use it casually? As soon as Roland reminded Ormsk, it suddenly became clear. In the context of Middle-earth, doing this is simply courting death! There is no difference between consuming the private soldiers of other people's noble families and digging up their ancestral graves. It is a good thing to say that the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackeys are cooked. It is reasonable to let the grumpy noble family rebel on the spot.
"It's broken." Ormsk covered his face. Now it's troublesome. The army of nearly 4,000 people can't spare any manpower...
"Don't think about the crusade. That's the only wealth that Nyx girl has." Roland said with a bit of heartache. He still had a preference for his woman Roland. Roland didn't want to let Nyx blindly do this. Pay, for a noble, his degree of respect is linked to his wealth and strength, even the queen is no exception, not to mention the bare queen is even more nonsense.
"We can't let the Swift Current Legion go up! Your Highness, you know that the battlefield of the Rapid Current Legion is not in the mountains!" Ormsk's head is almost getting big, and you are playing with your horse's army formation in the mountains! The undulating mountains are enough to turn the originally impenetrable solid phalanx into a sieve full of loopholes.
"Let's think of another way. The Crusaders staying in Lulong Fortress is already the biggest concession. It is not suitable to go any further. They are the queen's family private soldiers! Ormsk must understand the meaning of this!" Roland said solemnly. reminded.
Roland never had the idea of using Nyx's private army from beginning to end. Even though Nyx had entrusted everything to him, Roland never considered using this army in the battle. This was Roland's gift. Due to his respect for his queen and his observance and maintenance of aristocratic rules, if the soldiers were not really short of manpower, this army should have been stationed in Swift Current City at the disposal of Hounyx... After all, Ragland has always been dual-dimensional. The imperial system, but its duality does not mean that there are two emperors, but that the emperor and the queen are equal in ruling status.
Throughout the history of the Lord of the Rings game, there are many times when the queen has greater power than the king. Many of the legions under the queen are even more elite than the emperor. For a long time, the Royal Dragoons were even loyal to the queen alone... You know, Grand is not just the emperor who can initiate a national war...
For the current Lagrand Kingdom, Nyx legally has an army loyal to the queen. She enjoys all Roland's rights equally. As long as she does not betray the country and her husband, Nyx even has the right to tear up Roland. Due to the agreement of the Lonely Mountain Alliance, Roland decided to retain the only remnant army loyal to Nyx. After all, Nyx, who was currently in the deep palace, was destined to be unable to raise another army for a long time.
"I understand..." Omsk rubbed his brows with a headache. A hundred thousand grass-mud horses whizzed past his heart. He considered everything but never counted politics... Omsk looked at the ceiling feebly. Sure enough, the master said That's right, we reckless people can only fight and kill, those who play politics have dirty hearts...
