If it were another 'Gen Miao Zhenghong' leading general, he would probably not 'sell' his military exploits to others at will. After all, nobles are also divided into civil servants and military officials. This is not a mandatory division, but according to the location of the territory, And the self-division of family inheritance. Andrex is obviously a civil servant, and the lords headed by Greenton are generally military officers.
Although there is often cooperation between nobles, and most of the time there is no distinction between civil and military officials, but once it comes to war, the division of civil and military officials is obvious.
The territory of military officers is generally close to the national border. Their economic situation is generally not as good as that of civil servants. Because of the task of defending the national border, their life is generally not as good as that of civilian lords. They ridiculed them as bumpkins.
Therefore, the civil and military lords secretly have antagonism. Under normal circumstances, military exploits are the face of military officers and lords, and they will not easily let go.
But there are no absolutes in everything. In many cases, money is not the problem, the problem is that there is no money.
For better armaments and more benefits, as long as the price is right, military attachés and lords will also 'sell' some military exploits.
This is the basis for cooperation.
The several lords who came to resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Sunderland this time were all civil servants, and Alice was the only descendant of the military lord among them.
For most civilian lords, military exploits are very difficult to obtain. After all, they are 'civilian officials'. Even if they have an army, it is difficult to fight against the real elite soldiers of the enemy.
That's why Rexxar has been sticking to it, never taking the initiative to attack.
As for Androtecht, because he was the weakest among all the lords, he was forced to send him up to check the situation. Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise.
After cleaning the battlefield, it was dawn. Alice came over, bumped Beta lightly with her left shoulder, and pointed to the sky in the distance, where a long line of yellow sand was flying in the air.
Beta looked at it for a while and said: "It should be the Sunderland army defending another passage. Knowing that things are not good, let's retreat."
"How did this happen? Aren't they going to invade our Hollevin?" Alice looked strange: "Why did you run away?"
"Didn't you find that something was wrong?" Beta frowned: "It is obvious that the enemy invaded such a big thing, but the king actually sent only a few of you here, and the people sent here, except your soldiers, have enough fighting power In addition, the soldiers of other people seem to be only slightly better than the farmers. Also, the army of Sunderland fled too simply."
Alice was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"Perhaps this is just a bureau. Our king may have reached an agreement with the king of Sunderland."
"This is unlikely." Alice was a little puzzled: "Then we killed an army in Sunderland, did we do something bad with good intentions?"
"No, it will make this situation more real." Andrex, who had been staying by the side, said suddenly: "If your lord beta's guess is correct, then our majesty the king must have secretly plotted with the king of Sunderland. What's the big deal."
Alice looked extremely unhappy: "For the sake of the so-called bureau, do you have to sacrifice the soldiers on the front line?"
"If the benefits are big enough, then everything is worth it." Andrex smiled: "Maybe we defeat the enemy, or we are defeated by the enemy, it is all in the consideration of those two majesties, and it will not affect the overall situation .”
"It's unpleasant, even disgusting."
Alice said a word of disgust, and rode off on the unicorn, followed by her cavalry.
Beta ordered the Frostwolf warriors to escort the captives back, and Antex also sent someone to help. Among these captives, he has his share.
Looking at these captives, Beta felt a little happy. The captives could act as coolies. While ensuring their basic living conditions, let them work, smooth their edges and corners, and slowly transform them into members of the Holy City of Woking.
If it was possible, Beta didn't want to convert the enemy's captives into his own people, but there was no other way. What he lacked most now was people... Just buying slaves was not a problem, after all, there were too few talents among slaves.
When Beta returned to the front line of Sicilia with the captives, he was greeted by unbelievable faces.
Especially Rexxar's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.
"Your Excellency, Beta, you are really too powerful." Rexxar said compliments against his will: "Three hundred people raided an army of more than five thousand people, defeated the enemy army, and captured at least one thousand soldiers. This is nothing short of a miracle. "
"Good luck, good luck." Beta smiled.
Seeing Beta's smile, Rexxar smiled, already hating him half to death in his heart.
Just now Alice came back first, threw the benefit contract they promised on his desk, and threatened: "I have done what you asked me to do. Within a month, I will see these things." Things appear on my territory, or you will bear the consequences."
The little trick that he couldn't easily think of was actually destroyed by Beta. He believed that without Beta, no matter how strong Alice was, it would be impossible to do such an exaggerated thing.
"Now the enemy on the left has been defeated, and the enemy on the right has fled." Beta asked with a smile: "What else do we need to do next? Can we bring our troops home?"
Rexxar took a few breaths, pretended to be very calm and said: "Well, you are a great hero, you can do whatever you want."
Beta left a meaningful smile and led the Frostwolf warriors back to their camp. He didn't leave in a hurry, and first allocated 300 captives to Andrekt. In fact, only about 700 captives are a big problem. He must make a proper plan to bring these 700 people back to his own. territory.
In the evening, Androtec sent 400 gold coins, and Beta distributed half of them to the Frostwolf warriors, two gold coins each, but these fighters were so beautiful, because of Beta's loyalty and Favorability has been greatly improved again.
Not long after that, Alice also came over.
She was wearing a white leather armor, sitting in front of Beta, she didn't speak, but looked very disappointed.
"Still unacceptable?" Beta was a little strange: "It stands to reason that you are also a member of the noble family and have lived for such a long time. These things should be taken lightly."
It took Alice a while to speak: "Understanding is understanding, but when I think of our lovely soldiers fighting bloody battles on the front line, even dying, but their efforts and sacrifices are meaningless, I always feel very sad." uncomfortable."
Beta thought for a while and said: "Then you can make their efforts and sacrifices meaningful?"
Alice raised her head and asked curiously, "Then what should I do?"
