Chapter 1025, the City Is Broken, the Terrified Nobles of Wright!!!

When the Wright Kingdom was first established, it relied on mercenaries.

This is because of the terrain restrictions of the Wright Kingdom.

There are mountains all around.

When it was first developed, a large number of mercenaries poured into the plains in the middle of the mountains.

They hunt monsters in the mountains and transport them back to the plains to sell them.

Over time, specialized large-scale mercenary groups and thieves groups were soon born.

After several battles between the two sides.

The mercenary group won the victory and began to build a city on the plain.

After that, they encountered the invasions of Lannis and Hastings one after another.

After a hundred years of bloody fighting, the mercenaries finally occupied the fertile plains and established the Wright Kingdom.

Later, he supported another mercenary force and took a large piece of Hasting's territory.

The Kingdom of Leiden was established.

Since then, the Leyte Kingdom has obtained the northern defense line.

Then it expanded westward and southward.

Compete for territory with other kingdoms, savage tribes, and warcraft.

It took more than two hundred years of bloody battles to achieve the current foundation.

And in the long history.

The Dukedom of Devon has a special status in the Kingdom of Wright.

Because this territory is where the Wright Kingdom started.

The first city was founded here.

The Grand Duke of Devon is actually the royal branch of the Kingdom of Wright.

As the territory expands.

The 1st Duke of Devon stayed behind.

When the territory expanded, it was entrusted to the Duke of Devon and officially became his fief.

The biggest feature of the Dukedom of Devon is its convenient transportation.

Another thing is that there are a large number of mercenaries.

A city built by mercenaries.

The Dukedom of Devon has always followed the ancient mercenary rules.

Even the laws of the kingdom are useless here.

In addition, it is close to places where monsters such as Netherlight and Canglang Forest are haunted.

Let this duchy continue to prosper.

Known as the territory of mercenaries.

Duke Devon is also a registered mercenary of the mercenary guild.

Evaluated at gold level, he is also the king of mercenaries.

It's not that he's very powerful.

But only nobles can become mercenary kings.

Ordinary mercenaries!

In the eyes of the nobles, they are simply unstable refugees.

The existence of the Dukedom of Devon is to give these refugees a place to live.

As long as the mercenaries don't cause trouble in the duchy's cities.

Looting and killing outside.

They didn't care at all.

This kind of loose governance is what the mercenaries want.

But it also has huge defensive flaws.

If it were just a group of thieves.

That does not threaten the Duke of Devon.

After all, the 500 guards and 2,000 city defense troops of the duchy are not vegetarians.

But what if it is an elite cavalry with a number of up to 15,000!

These troops cannot even defend the city, let alone go out to fight.

After the legendary Iron Guard commander commanded 15,000 cavalry, they crossed the swamp of the Netherlight Forest.

Soon appeared in the Dukedom of Devon.

"Don't rest!"

"The enemy still doesn't know we're coming."

"Mount!"

"Go straight to the mercenary city!"

A military formation composed of 15,000 cavalry rushed towards the mercenary city.

They didn't hide, they just marched along the road.

At this time, every soldier, including the commander with legendary strength, was exhausted.

Even riding on the war horse is shaky.

But not a single cavalryman was left behind.

Some knights tied themselves to their horses so as not to fall off.

Just rely on strong will.

Not a single one of the 15,000 cavalrymen was left behind.

After a quick march of 100 kilometers, they arrived at the largest city in the Dukedom of Devon.

It was also the first city built by the Wright Kingdom that year.

Mercenary City!

Also called the Mercenary House.

The city experienced countless wars in its first hundred years.

It started with Warcraft.

Then came the thieves.

Then came Hasting's cavalry, Lannis' cavalry.

But they were all repelled by the combined efforts of the mercenaries in the city.

In this city, there are heroes among mercenaries.

They are known as the Mercenary Kings.

but!

Three hundred years have passed.

The title of Mercenary King has become exclusive to nobles.

The nobles of the Wright Kingdom believe that mercenaries are the source of chaos.

Except for the Dukedom of Devon, the movement of mercenaries is restricted everywhere else.

This also resulted in the mercenaries no longer supporting the Kingdom of Wright.

certainly!

The current Leyte Kingdom doesn't need it either. Their backbone is the nobles from various places.

If it weren't for the special status of the Dukedom of Devon.

The mercenaries will be driven away.

This kind of differential treatment has aroused the wrath of the mercenaries more than once.

But when it got to Duke Devon, it couldn't be passed on.

Now!

When 15,000 cavalry appeared at the city gate.

The Grand Duke of Devon was awakened.

"What?"

"15,000 Alpha's cavalry?"

"Are you sure?"

the attendant replied.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"Just outside the city."

"Quickly, close the city gate and recruit mercenaries to defend the city."

"This is a city for mercenaries."

"It was here that our ancestors defeated countless invaders."

The attendant shook his head.

"Your Mightiness."

"The mercenaries say they don't have titles."

"Let the nobles with titles defend the city."

"They are just lowly mercenaries."

"And you are the mercenary king!"

Hear the news.

Grand Duke Devin's expression changed.

Then gritted his teeth.

"Open my vault."

"Recruit mercenaries to join the battle."

"As long as we can defend the city."

"100 gold coins will be given after victory!"

By exploiting mercenaries, the Duke of Devon accumulated a terrible wealth.

Just~

The mercenaries have been waiting for this day for a long time.

When the Grand Duke of Devon's recruitment appeared in the mercenary guild.

It immediately attracted countless ridicules.

"Haha, you only get 100 gold coins for victory, so you don't have to pay if you die?"

"Bah, the Kingdom of Wright is not known as a country of nobles. Why, your nobles don't defend the city?"

"You want to hire me for 100 gold coins, just dream."

"The King of Mercenaries can't command the mercenaries, haha, what a big joke."

"You're confused. Let's kill the Grand Duke now and rob his treasury. Not only can we get gold coins, but we can also get revenge. Wouldn't it be more worthwhile?"

I have to say that when three men are together, there must be an idea king.

What's more, it's a group of mercenaries whose blades lick blood.

They have long disliked the nobles.

Someone took the lead at this time.

He took up arms and stormed into the castle of the Archduke of Devon.

At this time, the Duke of Devon sent all his soldiers out to defend the city.

Only 30 guards were left around.

Thousands of mercenaries rushed in.

In the blink of an eye, the Duke of Devon and his family in the castle were all killed.

The mercenaries opened his vault.

The wealth accumulated over more than a hundred years was wiped out.

In the end, the mercenaries burned the castle down.

Bring weapons and kill the soldiers guarding the city.

Open the city gate to welcome the cavalry outside the city into the city.

The legendary commander of the Iron Guard originally wanted to rest under the city for half a day before attacking the city.

As a result, I just got off my horse and rested.

The sound of killing came from the city.

Then the door opened.

The mercenaries held their heads high to welcome them into the city.

"Is this a win?"

Looking at the burned castle in the distance.

The commander of the Iron Guard was a little incredible.

But the scene before him forced him to believe it.

Not long after, the Iron Guard commander began to give orders to take over the city.

The mercenaries cannot be trusted.

This city must be controlled by its own cavalry.

After completing the takeover.

The next step is to attack according to the plan.

They are cavalry, and their mission this time is to penetrate into the enemy's hinterland.

Disrupt the enemy's rear.

The commander of the Iron Guard summoned the officers of the legion.

Start laying out the battle plan.

"Mercenary City is the largest city in the Dukedom of Devon."

"There are many nobles of all sizes around."

"We must capture them all and send all supplies to the mercenary city."

"There must be no place for supplies outside until the enemy's cavalry arrives."

"Frosa, you bring 3,000 escort cavalry to do this."

"The mercenaries in the city are your help."

"Promise to break down the nobles' castles. They will get gold coins, and we will get food and war horses."

"You have to be quick, remember, send all the good horses back."

"As you command!"

Frosa is a baron who also grew up from the bloody battle in the royal capital.

He was still a knight's squire before, but the rebellion in the outer city made him seize the opportunity.

And this time!

Frosa knew that as long as he could go back alive.

An earldom is indispensable.

Even in death.

Your own family will also get it.

He has no worries.

The same goes for the three thousand escorts he brought.

From the time they joined this combat plan, they had already put life and death behind them.

While arranging Frosa, the mercenaries in the city were also dispatched.

Without the mercenaries, the mercenary city becomes much more spacious.

There are only some merchants and craftsmen left.

The commander of the Iron Guard looked at the other noble guard.

"Philip!"

"7,000 Guards Cavalry, keep heading east!"

"Break this place!"

The Iron Guard Commander's finger fell on the map.

"The Tully family fortress!"

"Then turn around and immediately attack southeast."

"Message from Lord Heidi."

"In the great plains to the southeast."

"The Kingdom of Wright has dispatched all its cavalry to the Hastings front line."

"As long as your cavalry can enter the plains."

"There must be no nobles who can stop you."

"And your mission is to destroy all noble territories in sight."

"Forcing the Kingdom of Wright to dispatch an army to hunt you down."

"As long as you can hold them back during this process."

"The longer you delay, the greater your credit will be."

"This is almost a fatal mission."

"But as long as you succeed, it doesn't matter whether you are dead or alive."

"I'll guarantee you the title of a duke."

"All the knights who participated in the war will be promoted to one level of title and will be granted the title of nobility."

"If he dies, the heir of the family will be promoted to two levels of title and will be granted the title of Fertile Nobility!"

"If there is no heir, one will inherit from the next generation!"

Before departure.

The king himself made the promise to him and to everyone.

This condition is unique among all kingdoms.

And the reason why Alpha Kingdom dares to give it.

It's because as long as they win, the territory of the Wright Kingdom will be enough to entrust.

Even more than enough.

All the soldiers who participated in the battle knew this.

"I want all the horses!"

Philip grabbed his helmet and said.

They were preparing for a mobile war.

The consumption of horses would be great.

The Iron Guard commander had also made preparations long ago.

"Come here."

"All the horses are given to Philip."

"Philip, your men and horses have three hours to rest."

"After three hours, you must set off."

"Similarly, within three hours, the horses sent back by Frosa will also belong to you!"

Philip did not say anything else, turned around and left.

He was too tired now.

I couldn't wait to rest.

Three hours was enough for him and his subordinates.

"Milolan!"

"Yes!"

"Requisition the horses and servants of the merchants in the city."

"Supply the horses to Philip, and make sure each person has three horses."

"Merchants and servants, go and feed the horses."

"After three hours, all the war horses must be fed."

"Leave no one behind!"

"Yes, sir!"

The murderous voice of the Iron Guard Commander shocked everyone.

In the end, only 5,000 Iron Guards remained in the city.

The Mercenary City is very large.

5,000 Iron Guards are enough to defend the city.

But the Iron Guard Commander will never put all the most elite Iron Guards in the city.

"Cassel."

A sturdy Iron Guard stood up.

"Yes, sir."

"Take two thousand Iron Guards and leave the Mercenary City."

"Walk north."

"Loot war horses along the way."

"After you have two horses for each person."

"Immediately advance to the northeast."

"Don't stop when you encounter the enemy."

"Just break through."

"Pretend to attack the logistics of the Light Kingdom Fortress."

"Force the elite of the Light Kingdom to intercept and kill you."

"Yes!"

This time the Iron Guard commander did not promise.

For the Iron Guard, there is no need for any title at all.

From the moment they become Iron Guards, they are cut off from the family.

And the moment they die in battle.

The family will receive huge compensation.

All direct descendants are real nobles.

And they will not be lower than barons.

They don't need to worry about anything, just follow orders.

About five hours later.

The originally bustling Mercenary City became quiet again with the departure of a large number of cavalry.

"Sir."

"Only 3,000 Iron Guards are left in the Mercenary City. Can we hold it?"

The personal guard named Leon asked.

"Do you know that this city was held for three years by only 500 mercenaries?"

"At that time, Hastings' 30,000 troops could not break the city."

"Now we have 3,000 Iron Guards inside and 3,000 guards outside."

"There is enough food and water in the city."

"What's there to worry about?"

"Besides!"

"The capital of Alpha will not let us fight alone."

"We are stuck here like a nail."

"Attract the army of the Kingdom of Light."

"Then the army in another direction will have more opportunities."

"I think the Kingdom of Light must be anxious now."

"I don't know how to deal with us."

"Pull out the front-line legions to encircle and suppress."

"Then the Hastings defense line may be breached due to insufficient manpower."

"But if they don't come to encircle and suppress us."

"Humph!"

"The winter month can last for three months."

"It's only the first month now."

"The further back the road in the Glowing Forest goes, the longer it can be passed."

"In the future, there will definitely be a steady stream of troops arriving here."

"Then!"

"Even if the Kingdom of Wright defends the Hastings defense line."

"We can easily break into the capital."

"Completely annex the Kingdom of Wright."

He paused again when he said this.

"Besides!"

"Philip's 7,000 knights entered the plain."

"I don't believe the nobles of the Kingdom of Wright can sit still!"

"On the plain, there are 2/3 of the noble fiefs of the Kingdom of Wright!!!"

"Even if the king doesn't care, the nobles won't agree."

When he said this, the corners of the Iron Guard commander's mouth curled up slightly.

And at this moment.

The capital of the Kingdom of Wright.

It was just as he expected.

The king and the nobles were all in a state of panic!!! (End of this chapter)
