[First update]
Salin said to Marquis Carolina: "I will solve the problem of Pompeii. In fact, you don't have to bear any pressure. wWW,QUAbEn-XIAoShUo,comThe materials I provide can be used to form new armies. These armies can We will conduct some training when attacking Pompeii. But the real battlefield should be the conflict with the Holy See."
"Your Highness, you only brought less than two thousand troops." Although Marquis Carolina admired Salin's personal strength, it was a bit difficult for one person to fight against an archduke. In his view, human power always has limits.
"No, I brought 100,000 troops and hundreds of ninth-level strongmen. The territory of Archduke Pompey is not a real principality, so he cannot raise too many troops. As long as Pompey is captured, everything will be over. The rest It’s up to you to complete the matter.”
Marquis Carolina knew that the mage would not lie to his ally, but he could not see Salin's 100,000 troops. Saleen smiled and said: "That is a hundred thousand demon army, absolutely loyal."
"Okay, Your Highness Salin, I have heard that you can use special equipment to mobilize an army of demons. I don't know, how else can we help?"
"Marquis, I don't care whether Rex becomes emperor or not. What I care about is the extent of your support for her. The war between the Holy See and Qin Yin has temporarily eased due to the incident in Daliang City, but It will eventually break out. Due to geographical reasons, the southern part of Qin only borders Yunliu. Will you fight the Yunliu people for Rex?"
Marquis Carolina did not think much and said: "I and the other two Dukes are willing to support His Highness Rex to inherit the throne of Qin Yin. However, the current emperor... is Rex's younger brother after all. Before he abdicates the throne, , we can only maintain the current status and will not support any decision of the prince."
This statement is clear enough. The current Emperor Qin Yin is an ordinary person and is in poor health. Rex is a ninth-level magician and can live for at least more than a thousand years.
"In addition to you, there are more than 300 nobles in the entire southwest with certain military strength. How many people can you influence?"
"Two hundred and seventy-four, apart from these people, there is nothing to win over."
"That's good. There are not many places bordering Yunliu in the southwest of Qinyin. You must make sure not to be attacked from behind by those dozens of nobles. When the time comes, your enemies will come from Yunliu."
"Pompeii?"
"After taking it, I won't spit it out to Sephiroth."
"Your Highness, are you sure?" Carolina didn't mean to be afraid of Sephiroth, but just asked whether Salin could hold Pompeii. Pompeii is located next to the canal and is a very important strategic city.
"Sephiroth is not the problem, the problem is Alchemy City." When Salin said this, he paid attention to Carolina's expression. There was no fluctuation in Carolina's expression. She was indeed the Golden Sword Master. Even if she had awe for the mage, it was limited.
"Your Highness, Alchemy City was originally harmless to the empire. However, the empire's strength has not expanded for a long time, which is why we are in today's situation." Carolina's point of view is novel, and Salin does not want to explore further whether this point of view is accurate. , as long as nobles like Carolina are not afraid of Alchemy City.
Next, Salin and Carolina asked for more than 20,000 soldiers, of course not only the marquis, but also soldiers from the other two marquis and neighboring nobles. Twenty thousand men were to escort Salim into the territory of Archduke Pompey without saying hello. If this did not anger Archduke Pompey, Salin could only write a letter asking the Archduke to release his son.
Because the south of Qin had always been rich and powerful, three marquises and a dozen nearby nobles raised 20,000 people for Salin in one day. Of course, this is related to advance preparation, but the mobilization of an army of 20,000 people was so fast that the combat effectiveness of the southern nobles was never compromised.
After staying in Gos City for two days, Salin met with the southwestern nobles and signed more than three hundred contracts before entering the territory of Archduke Pompey with an army of 20,000 people.
At this time, Salin realized the benefits of status. Because he was the king of a country and had territorial soldiers, these southwest nobles would give him face. Otherwise, it would be cooperation and relying on others.
Although the wars Salin participated in in the past often involved millions of people, in fact, wars involving tens of thousands of people were already huge. More than 20,000 soldiers protected Salin's team as they entered the territory of Archduke Pompey. The nobles under Archduke Pompey suddenly panicked.
The first person to behave in a panic was a viscount. This viscount mobilized nearly a thousand troops under his command, hoping to stop Salin's despicable behavior.
This is a blatant invasion
Salin got what he wanted and commanded more than 20,000 troops to defeat the hundreds of noble soldiers. The viscount did not expect that Salin would actually take action. Salin not only took action, but also captured most of his soldiers.
The conflicts between the nobles of the southwest were not too deep, but the actions of Archduke Pompey made the nobles of the southwest very dissatisfied. In this battle, Archduke Pompey's aristocratic army suffered more than a hundred deaths. The rest were captured by Salin and handed over to the southwest nobles to be sent back to their territories. They waited for the war to end before deciding what to do with these prisoners.
People in Qin rarely kill prisoners, especially when nobles in their own country fight. Although these prisoners were dejected, they also knew that this was better than dying in battle.
Salin deliberately slowed down his journey and went straight to the coordinates of the temple. The distance was less than two thousand miles, and Salin walked for nearly ten days. For the Qin Yin people, even the ordinary army was too slow.
Because Salin had to constantly deal with the harassing armies along the way, these armies were not large in size and even had a small number of mercenaries. Salin paid attention to controlling casualties, because the fight with these small nobles was not life-and-death. These soldiers were all natives of Qinyin, and killing them too harshly would be detrimental to his future rule.
Finally, when the weather gradually became cooler, Salin's troops arrived outside a city.
Salin sent an envoy and wrote a letter to the city lord. In a very arrogant tone, Salin explained his purpose of coming. He wanted to commandeer the city for about six months. During this period, the people in the city would be evacuated. Go outside the city, including the city lord, an old count.
Then, Saleen set up a magic cannon outside the city and aimed it at various targets in the city. His magic cannon is built on an artificial hill and can shoot directly into the city.
The count read Salin's letter and was furious. His subordinates were wise and said to the count: "Sir, Salin is a king after all. It is indeed unseemly to do this, but my lord, you are no match. How about this? If you say that evacuation is okay, ask him to compensate you." loss."
The earl thought the same thing. Although he had more than 3,000 elite soldiers, if he wanted to fight against the more than 20,000 southwest nobles, the small nobles in front had already proved that they were throwing eggs against stones.
Salin was inspecting the military camp outside the city. Saleen had already seen this Qin Yin Elite, and now that he is a tenth-level mage, when he saw it again, he found that he still liked him from the bottom of his heart.
In the previous battle, Saleen proved the devil's fighting power. Now that the magic cannon is set up, the city in front of him can definitely be taken down at a small cost. With such a steady battle, the soldiers did not take it lightly. The atmosphere in the military camp was solemn. Even the soldiers responsible for feeding the horses could not see any slackness.
Military discipline is strict. Dozens of noble soldiers form two large battalions, and their cooperation appears to be very skillful. The training of these soldiers must be professional.
Salin inspected the military camp, accompanied by the camp general. Suddenly, a soldier reported that a messenger had been sent from the city, asking to see His Highness Salin.
"No, just tell him this so that I don't get angry and kill someone." Salin was about to send him away when Nailis whispered a few words in his ear. Salin stopped the soldier again and took out a card. He used magic to write a few lines on the paper, and handed it to the soldier and said: "Let someone bring him into the city. If you send someone out again, I won't be polite."
The earl in the city was waiting hard for Salin's reply. He thought that if Salin did not compensate him, he would escape, and it would be unwise to fight against such a powerful enemy. Unexpectedly, Salin was looking for trouble. The letter brought back by the messenger contained news that made him want to cry.
Salin told the earl that in order to prove his serious attitude, he decided to bombard the city lord's palace with magic cannons. Salin gave the earl an hour to evacuate his family.
Below a few lines of text, a map was drawn, clearly marking the layout of the city and the location of the city lord's palace. Saleen drew a red line around the city lord's palace. Within the red line was the range of his attack.
"How can this be done? How can this be done..." The Count muttered to himself painfully. He was in a daze facing the letter. He could clear out all the people in the city lord's mansion in ten minutes, but what should he do if there were still a lot of treasures in the city lord's mansion
This Salin is too overbearing. Is this still a noble
On the letter paper, a magical light lit up, and in front of the earl, a line of strong and powerful handwriting appeared, flashing in the air.
"Earl, I'm here to invade, so please hurry up."
Salin's words made the count jump up, and he shouted loudly: "What are you doing standing still? Get out of this damn place quickly!"
The count then figured out that Salin did this because he did not intend to kill anyone. But that doesn't mean Salin doesn't dare to kill people. Iron Wall City is a good example. Although he is a count, this city is full of resources, but it only has 80,000 people, less than one-tenth of the number in Iron Wall City.
It took the City Lord's Mansion half an hour to evacuate everyone. Everyone has seen the magic cannon outside the city. At this time, everyone knows that life is precious. As for the buried treasure, the Earl can only regret that he did not store it in the Imperial Bank.
But the nobles of Count Pompeii were doing this, for fear that putting their money in the Imperial Bank would cause problems in the future. M! ~!
