Hungry, so hungry, I woke up from starvation, please vote for recommendation!
There is another chapter updated this afternoon!
Castle of Tannin, this is a famous small town in the southern part of the Gallic Empire, famous for the production of high-quality wine. WWw、QUaNbEn-xIAoShUO、cOm
The Tanning family is the lord here. The head of the Tanning family is just a hereditary baron and is inconspicuous in the imperial title pedigree. But it is because of the annual output of 25,000 barrels of high-quality wine from Tannin Castle and the outflow of dozens of bottles of aged wine every now and then that the Tannin family is a very popular figure in the entire Western aristocratic circle.
After all, what aristocrats care about is how much they spend on food and drink, and the high-end wines of the Tannin family are must-haves for all nobles. Aged tannin wines are an absolute luxury. Relying on the family's ancestral winemaking skills and the excellent vineyards in the Wutiao River Valley under the rule of Tannin Castle, the Tannin family lives a happy life and is rich.
But these days, this generation of Tannin Baron feels very heavy. He climbed up to the highest tower of the castle early every morning and stared blankly at the huge army rolling past his castle like a flood.
One group of heavy armored infantry, one group of heavy crossbowmen, one group of light cavalry, one group of heavy armored pikemen, one group of heavy armored infantry, and then another group of light cavalry.
Group after group of soldiers, in units of a thousand, walked past Dannin Castle in neat lines. Their breath was like thunder and their steps were like wind. Their feet touched the ground and smoke and dust flew up into the sky. Slowly flying far away with the wind, the grape vines on the grape trellises in the nearby valley were covered with a thick layer of dust.
Along the way, there was not a single ghost in the villages and towns within the territory of the Danning family. All the people were hiding in their homes in fear, peeping at the movement of this army through the cracks in the door. The most arrogant domestic dogs in the past also hid in the firewood pile with their tails between their legs, not daring to come out.
If there is a necromancer who is proficient in necromancy, he will definitely be able to see a dark cloud of innocent souls floating above this huge army - pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese. The dead souls of all kinds of poultry and livestock were floating above the heads of this huge army. It was unknown how many domestic dogs were killed by them.
Which dog who is not afraid of death dares to stand up in front of such an army
Get out of the mountains. After setting foot on the territory of the Gallic Empire, the army of the Longshan family meandered forward. Not to mention where they passed was like locusts passing through, but it wasn't much different. The chickens and ducks were eaten up. Eat all the cattle and sheep, drink all the wine. If any dog dares to yell next to the team, at least twenty heavy crossbows will be fired at the same time, making that daring lackey understand what military violence is!
The slogan of the Longshan family's soldiers is - I'm here to save your Gallic Empire. What's the point of eating some of your chickens and ducks? If you don't tease your girls, you already have strict military discipline. Do you still care about some livestock and poultry
I have to admit that if Lin Qi is not in Longshan Territory, it is almost impossible for you to expect Alda, the second generation of the playboy devil, to shape his private army. For a demon hybrid like Alda. Military discipline is actually not important at all, as long as these soldiers dare to kill people on the battlefield, it is enough.
So the mercenary instructors hired by Alda taught these soldiers how to march, how to form formations, and how to fight. How to kill people, but they didn't teach them what military discipline is!
In fact, everyone knows that the mercenaries themselves are a mixed team, and they themselves don't understand what military discipline is called. The soldiers of the three legions of the Longshan family's private army are all new recruits, and there are tens of thousands of mercenaries mixed in. Coupled with a group of domineering and arrogant hired mages, how good can you expect them to have good military discipline? …,
As for the 50,000 abandoned people who just joined. . . They don't even talk about military discipline, they don't even know what the law is. You know, back in the Xidi Protectorate, these abandoned people had always worked part-time as horse thieves and bandits in the desert!
Therefore, it had only been three or four days since the Longshan family's army set foot on the territory of the Gallic Empire, and a large black cloud of the ghosts of livestock and poultry had already formed above their heads. The resentment rising in the sky exuded a deep cold air. Wherever it passed, dogs did not dare to bark, chickens and ducks did not dare to jump, cattle shivered in the shed, and even the fish in the fish pond sank to the bottom of the water and did not dare to emerge. .
If it weren't for the fact that robbing civilian girls would waste too much time, causing the marching speed to be greatly slowed down, and leading to severe punishment from Arda, this messy new private army would definitely also destroy the young and old girls in the villages and towns. My daughter-in-law has caused a lot of trouble!
Even though they didn't rob civilian girls, those girls who opened their homes to do professional business, wine girls, etc. along the way were not spared by this group of private soldiers with rich pockets. After throwing out a lot of gold coins, all the girls in the brothels where these men visited did not open their doors for half a month - their vitality was really damaged!
The military pay of the Longshan family was extremely generous, so the soldiers were very rich. They ate too many livestock and poultry, and they were also very physically strong and energetic. So these girls who were willing to open their doors to make money were unlucky. ! Even if they could easily defeat three or five or even twenty or thirty strong men, when three to five hundred men lined up outside their door while tossing gold coins, things got out of hand.
Anyway, wherever the Longshan family's army went, some were happy, some were sad, and some even cursed with a mixture of joy and sorrow. The Gallic Empire finally experienced for the first time the power of the Longshan family's private army. One thing that needs to be emphasized is that this is definitely not the last time.
Baron Tanning naturally heard about the good deeds done by the Longshan family's army along the way. His family had a small pasture in a valley a hundred miles away, where they raised a large number of carnivorous livestock and poultry specifically for the family's use. . But last night, all the livestock and poultry in the valley were wiped out, and a large number of abandoned items such as chicken feathers, duck feathers, and cow hooves and horns appeared outside the Longshan family's military camp.
After Baron Tanning heard the news, he decided to swallow his anger. The Danning family is wealthy, but the family's military force is extremely weak. After all, he is just a baron family in the Gallic Empire. Unlike the lawless country of the Vias Commercial Federation, as long as the nobles of Vias have money, they can theoretically arm countless armies. However, the nobles of the Gallic Empire were restricted by the Noble Arms Law.
The Danning family only has thirty guardian knights and a private army of 300 people. Compared with the huge army of the Longshan family passing through, what can these few people do? Are there just over three hundred private soldiers trying to reason with an army of hundreds of thousands? Baron Tanning felt that he would never do such a thing unless his brain was broken.
Looking at the passing army with a gloomy face, Baron Tan Ning just prayed that the soldiers of the Longshan family could leave their territory quickly, go and harm other people, and then be defeated by those damn aliens in the northern Xinjiang and the whole army would be destroyed. , this is his greatest hope.
At this moment, a chariot pulled by twenty-four unicorns, escorted by a large group of dragon knights and heavy cavalry, stopped at the gate of the castle. A green flying dragon that the Tanning family spent a lot of money to show off rushed out of the castle and roared angrily at the fellow flying dragons who had invaded their territory!
Flying dragons are creatures with an extremely strong sense of territory, and they will never allow anyone of their own kind to easily enter their territory. …,
Arda was stepping down from the chariot with a flourish like a peacock. Suddenly, a tall green flying dragon jumped out of the castle, roared loudly at him, and sprayed out a stream of strong rotten meat. Fishy smell!
Alda was frightened and subconsciously struck out.
Now that Alda had reached the peak of the Saint Master's strength, he punched the green flying dragon hard on the head. The green flying dragon, which was more than ten meters long, didn't even have time to howl in agony before it was shaken into pieces by Alda's fist. The group shattered.
Baron Tan Ning's vision went dark. He covered his heart with both hands and almost fell to the ground. This green flying dragon was a young dragon that Baron Tan Ning's grandfather spent millions of gold coins to buy and raise with painstaking efforts in order to support his appearance. It took decades to gradually grow. But Alda killed the green flying dragon, which had the strength of a heaven-level person, with one punch. How could this make Baron Tanning feel embarrassed
Alda roared angrily: "I just want to buy some high-end wine on the way. Is this wrong?"
"Who is it? Who dares to release ferocious monsters to attack the great and noble Earl Longshan? Who dares to use monsters to attack me? Do you want to rebel? You are...Aha, I know, you must be Those foreign spies on Wudalian Island! Come here!"
Arda was trembling with excitement. When he was young, his father had told him countless times about the wonderful scenes of punishing knights who ransacked homes and exterminated clans, took the heretics' wealth for themselves, and burned the heretics' castles to ashes.
At this moment, Alda felt that his childhood dream was about to come true. He was going to regard himself as a powerful arbiter, and then ordered his group of guys to act as disciplinary knights and completely raze Baron Tannin's castle. !
Baron Tannin heard Alda's shouting, he screamed in despair, and then ran to Alda as fast as he could.
After a tearful beg for mercy and a confidential conversation, Alda was satisfied and allowed his logistics troops to empty out the Tannin family's wine cellar, taking with him the military supplies and military expenses of 10 million gold coins "voluntarily donated" by Baron Tannin. Taking the two beautiful maids presented by Baron Tanning, Shi Shiran set out on the road.
The locust-like Arda Legion left Baron Tannin's territory, leaving behind inedible things such as chicken, duck, goose, dog, pig, and cow hair all over the ground, and then happily stepped into Baron Tannin's territory. The county of an old castle in the northern part of the territory.
It is worth mentioning that in the noble territories through which Arda led his army, the loyalty of all nobles to Latus soared more than tenfold. Compared with Arda, Latus is simply a merciful and merciful saint like a savior!
After such a swaggering journey, a month later, at the most critical moment of the battle on the northern front of Bereli, Arda's army arrived. (You are welcome to come. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
