Kant never thought of standing against the aristocratic class. He was an aristocrat himself and a vested interest in this class.
No matter how despicable the nobles are in private, they must maintain their reputation and decency on the surface.
This will help Kant conquer other nobles.
Therefore, in this decisive battle, Kant denied Rolf's plan.
If you want to conquer the world, it is not enough to rely solely on the heroes and soldiers of the world of riding and hacking.
Even if Kant could recruit a sufficient number of heroes and soldiers, he could not afford the huge military expenses.
Because the military expenses of the world's army can only be paid in dinars, and cannot be paid with the world's common currency—small silver coins and big silver coins.
However, the only things in this world that can be exchanged for dinars are magic items and golden eagles. These precious things are limited, and they will not be circulated back after being circulated to the world of riding and cutting through caravans. They are all true in this world. It really disappeared, and a little less was used.
Now Kant's power is still weak compared to this world as a whole, so the golden eagle and magic items he obtained from this world, and the dinars he exchanged can barely support his army.
When his power becomes stronger in the future, the military expenditure will undoubtedly be greatly increased, which means that the consumption of magic items and golden eagles in this world will increase sharply. This would lead to a crazy decrease in the number of magic items and golden eagles in this world, and the final production could not keep up with his consumption rate.
At that time, even if he earned a lot of big silver coins, he would have no place to exchange them for golden eagles.
Kant himself could have foreseen such a thing.
Therefore, from now on, he must make a choice.
Take the army of the world of riding and cutting as the core, and at the same time accept the subordinates of this world as auxiliary, to conquer the world together.
This is different from his previous thinking, because Kant's previous ambitions were hazy, he always thought that he had the power to protect himself, and simply relied on a certain number of world heroes and soldiers to protect himself and himself. of the territory.
However, this time the main task of the system completely made Kant understand that his previous thinking was too conservative, and it would be difficult for him to truly conquer the world by relying solely on the heroes and soldiers of the world of riding and hacking.
After such a comprehensive consideration, Kant planned to take the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Klaus, for his own use.
If it was a pure serf uprising, even Kant would resolutely extinguish it, but this time the commander-in-chief of the uprising army was once a nobleman, and Kant was able to set him up again as an example.
And the ten-year slave experience of the commander-in-chief of the rebel army will force him to constantly desire to climb to a higher noble rank, so as to comfort his dignity and glory, and at the same time make other nobles dare not talk about it at will. he.
It was also because of his previous experience as a slave that he would be merciless in killing the rest of the nobles.
To put it simply, the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Kolod, is very suitable to be Kant's executioner, and there is no room for rebellion. Because his former status as a slave would make him stand at the natural opposite of other nobles, after the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Clode, was subdued by Kant, only Kant could rely on him.
Therefore, Kant said to Rolf on the other side of the crystal ball: "Rolf, your decisive battle plan is very good, but I cannot agree to adopt it!"
Rolf was puzzled, but he didn't feel aggrieved, and asked, "My lord, why do you say that?"
At this time, Rolf believed that since Kant did not adopt his plan, there must be a better plan.
After all, a decisive battle is imperative!
"Rolf, this battle is very important. We must fight an upright battle. Smash and destroy the enemy fiercely from the front, use the blood and corpses of the enemy to cast our own glory, and let all the Lion Principality Nobles truly understand our strength."
"Only in this way can we really completely frighten these nobles, and they will save a lot of trouble if they are subdued in the future."
Rolf is a smart man, once he heard Kant's words, he understood.
If the decisive battle is carried out according to his plan, although the price paid this time will be much smaller, other nobles will think that the victory of this battle is only obtained by relying on conspiracy and tricks, which does not mean that they are strong enough. Even if the other nobles surrendered, it was only on the surface, and in fact they would have thoughts that they shouldn't have.
"Then, my lord, should I cancel the covenant with the rebel army?"
In Rolf's view, according to Kant's strategic thinking, he could not continue to dig holes for the rebels. But in that case, the rebel army is likely to sit on the sidelines, waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Naturally, he would not want to do this, the battlefield was dangerous and unpredictable, and he would not allow another army to hide aside and stare at them while they were desperately fighting.
After the covenant was lifted, if the rebels still dared to come near the battlefield, he would naturally find a way to get rid of the rebels first, even if they cooperated temporarily with the aristocratic allied forces of Nanjun.
Unexpectedly, Kant's order came from the crystal ball, which was completely different from what he had imagined.
"Rolf, go and sign a new covenant with the rebel army. Use the parchment paper I distributed to you, stamped with the golden lion badge representing my red background, and write a new covenant. The content of the covenant remains unchanged. , plus my promise: as long as the rebel army helps us win, after I become the new Grand Duke of the Lion Principality, I will make him a Baron."
Rolf didn't understand very much, but he obeyed Kant's order unconditionally.
"Follow your orders, my dear lord!"
Rolf's voice was full of doubts and incomprehension.
Kant properly explained to him that during the war, Rolf and Fatis needed to cooperate with the rebel army, so naturally Rolf couldn't be confused.
"Since Cloade wants to become a nobleman, I promise to make him a nobleman. With this guarantee, it is inevitable for him to join us. I intend to set an example for the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, Cloade. If we encounter such a third-party force again, the existence of Cloade will make such a third-party force lean towards us between us and our enemies!"
Kant's flat and deep voice came: "The Lion Principality is very small, don't limit your eyes here, we will have many, many enemies in the future."
Rolf got it right, and said again: "Rolfe obeys your orders, my lord!"
