days ago.
Fort Selia, located fifty miles south of Masburg, replaced Masburg, which had been captured by the coalition forces of the nobles of the North County, and was used by the coalition of nobles of the South County as an important pass against Kant's subordinates and the coalition of nobles of the North County.
At that time, 20 knights were stationed in the newly built Selia Fort on the front lines of South County and North County temporarily to ensure defense, each consisting of 1,000 heavy cavalry.
The 1,000 heavy cavalry of each knight order are composed of 100 formal knights and 900 knight attendants.
At the same time, the five knights formed a heavy cavalry regiment, led by a great knight.
The 20 knights formed four heavy cavalry regiments, and each heavy cavalry regiment had 5,000 heavy cavalry, which was extremely powerful.
These knight orders all came from the elite private army of the small and medium-sized nobles in the South County Territory, and were formed after the integration.
And the small and medium-sized nobles in the South County formed a temporary command group, responsible for deliberating and issuing orders.
Viscount Kami has the highest title and has sent the most troops. At the same time, he provided two great knights to join the Knights. He made the greatest contribution to the coalition forces of the nobles of the South County, and he naturally became the supreme commander of the temporary command group.
In other words, at the beginning, these small and medium-sized nobles in the South County Territory received the call-up order from Cameron, the Duke of the Lion.
Anyway, in their view, this time the invasion of the coalition of nobles from the North County led by Baron Kant's subordinates was nothing more than an internal struggle for royal power and had little to do with them.
As long as they stand on the sidelines, no matter who wins or loses in the end, Baron Kant and Grand Duke Cameron, they are still nobles, and their interests will not suffer any loss.
After all, they are only small and medium-sized nobles, and rashly participating in the battle for royal power can easily cause the entire family to be involved in the battle for royal power.
If they chose the wrong team, or chose the right team, but did not survive until the final outcome of the kingship struggle and the dust settled, all they could gain would be losses, not half a point of gain. .
For small and medium nobles like them, such a battle for royal power is certainly a great opportunity. Seizing the opportunity and choosing the right team and persevering to the end may make the family go further, but this time Baron Kant and Duke Lion directly The risk of the competition is too great, it is better to keep the current foundation safely and develop slowly.
At the beginning, these small and medium-sized nobles in the South County had such thoughts.
but.
When Grand Duke Cameron, the Duke of the Lion, made a promise that as long as they, the small and medium nobles, sent troops to wipe out the "rebels" of the North County leader's coalition forces, the entire North County leader would be divided up by them, these small and middle nobles were instantly tempted.
Although Beijun Territory is barren, it has a huge territory.
In particular, Beijun Territory is adjacent to the Nalun Desert, and is only separated from the Nalun Desert by the Sanvaya Mountain Range.
Since Baron Kant discovered the salt mine in the Nalun Desert, the barrenness of the North County Territory is no longer a problem, because as long as they occupy a piece of land in the North County Territory, and then collect business taxes for caravans, it is enough for them to earn a lot of money. .
Haven't you seen that Baron Kant has developed enough strength to compete with the Duke of Lion Cameron in just one year since he discovered the salt mine
The benefits of this are too great!
In particular, Grand Duke Cameron did not ask them to deal with Baron Kant. Baron Kant has shown a terrifying posture in the East County. Who is more powerful, the Baron or the Grand Duke Cameron.
With such conditions, the small and medium-sized nobles in the South County Territory will be more happy.
It was just to deal with the coalition of nobles from the North County, and to share extremely rich benefits after success. After some communication, the small and medium-sized nobles from the South County reached a consensus within a short period of time.
send troops!
The elite private soldiers of the family were sent out to form a coalition army to ruthlessly ravage and eliminate the scum troops of the coalition army of the nobles of the North County, which in their eyes had a negative combat effectiveness.
Previously, the coalition of nobles and mercenaries from the northern county led the attack on Jianshi Pass, but it was a joke for a long time to the coalition of nobles from the southern county.
Under the huge momentum, it is filled with:
Riots, infighting, and cannibalism!
Surrender without a fight!
Such a coalition of nobles from the northern counties, what is it if their combat effectiveness is not negative? They're not a scum army, what army is
Although it is said that the coalition army of the nobles of the North County at this time was commanded by Baron Kant's subordinates, and some of Baron Kant's troops were in it, but they knew that the main force of Baron Kant was in the East County, so they did not mention the Stone Pass. The thousands of troops led by Si took it to heart.
At the same time, the nobles of the South County gathered the army, and after the integration was completed, four heavy cavalry regiments with a number of 5,000 were divided, ready to conquer Masburg, and beat the coalition army of the nobles of the North County who were stationed in Masburg, which was extremely weak in their eyes. when.
The damn Nanjun led the rebel army, a group of lowly serfs, broke out in rebellion!
These insurgents took advantage of the small and medium-sized nobles in the South County to lead the elite troops to leave the territory and went north to the junction of the South County and the North County. When they conquered the coalition of the North County nobles, they frantically plundered their property, killed their clansmen and subordinates, and engulfed them. The civilians in the territory destroyed their farms and even manors, turning their homes into ruins.
All the small and medium-sized nobles in Nanjun collar had red eyes.
The rebel army is stabbing them in the back, cutting off their foundation!
I can't stand it!
Even if the time to conquer the Northern Commandery is delayed for a while, this gang of humble rebels must not be allowed to continue to run amok!
Let these lowly serfs, bastards, pay the price!
The temporary command group composed of small and medium-sized nobles in the South County led a quick discussion, and finally Viscount Kami made the decision and issued the order to send troops.
In Fort Selia, a heavy cavalry regiment was dispatched, intending to crush the gang of rebels from the Nanjun leader's rebel army as quickly as possible!
The nobles of the South County leaders in Fort Selia, while continuing to integrate and drill the remaining three heavy cavalry regiments, waited for the triumphant return of the heavy cavalry regiment that went south to wipe out the Nanjun leader rebel army.
However, two days later, there was bad news.
When the news of the annihilation of the heavy cavalry regiment came, the nobles of the Southern County in the entire Fort Selia were shocked and could not believe such a fact at all.
