Chapter 101 Leon, the Northland mercenary who jumped repeatedly, did not care about the opinions of other nobles.
In many cases, he even wanted to take the initiative to distance himself from other nobles without affecting the normal business exchanges between Antolia and other nobles.
In other words, it cannot be too harmonious.
Because Leon has always been very clear about his position.
He is a vassal of the Andal Kingdom.
At least...
he was the most loyal vassal of the Kingdom of Andal before he took control of the vast land of the Abandoned Land and established a solid and huge foundation of rule.
Therefore, the relationship with the lord he is loyal to is the most important in Leon's eyes.
After Leon jumps over, Wilbert I will inevitably become the lord above Leon. Obviously, as a noble who can fight, if the relationship with each noble is very harmonious, it will inevitably cause The fear of King Wilbert I.
What do you want to do?
Want to start a new rebellion?
This is determined by the military strength of Antolia, and it is also what Leon will inevitably face after inheriting Antolia.
Different nobles have different diplomatic concepts, and compared to those nobles who call friends, Leon prefers to farm quietly on the land of Antolia.
Stay tight and don’t wander!
This is Leon's diplomatic purpose for Antolia, and it is also a four-word motto that the people of Antolia always keep in mind.
However, as the population and overall strength of Antolia continued to expand, at least among the many vassals under the Duke of Galicia, Leon could no longer hold his own.
That's why he chose to take a break in this war for the throne, change himself to a lord, and then continue to suffer.
...
Earl Hurley is dead after all.
When the soldiers of Antolia rushed up the city wall, and when the battering ram under the city finally broke open the gate of Nangu City, the outcome of this war was already doomed.
The old earl did possess very good sword skills, but when faced with Andrew, who also wielded a sword, the difference between the theoretical school and the practical school became extremely obvious.
Perhaps Earl Hurley's sword-swinging, chopping and even blocking movements were full of elegant aristocratic style, but Andrew's swordsmanship was to press the sword towards the life gate and kill directly with the sword.
"Earl Hurley was a respectable opponent. Let him be buried with noble etiquette. He did not insult his noble status." Leon ordered with special care when riding into the city.
Perhaps the order to kill Earl Hurley was given by Leon, but after the death, Leon would eventually put on a look of grief.
Is this the hypocrisy of the nobility?
Leon smiled to himself.
Even though there was a war, the houses in Nangu City were not severely damaged.
Under Leon's order, the Antolian militia regiment led by Juan first lined up into the city to maintain order, while the Lapruk regiment led by Andrew camped on the spot together with the private armies of other nobles.
After all, even if the Antolian soldiers have extremely strict military discipline, the militiamen under other nobles obviously do not.
As for the losses in this battle...
the losses were actually not that big, only a few hundred people after a full fight.
Although the first wave of militiamen who rushed to Nangu City suffered heavy losses, the ones who died were not Antolians, and the other nobles did not care about it.
As a militiaman, if you die, you will die.
Untouchables are not considered human beings.
This is the truest thought in the hearts of most nobles except Leon.
And the deaths of those militiamen proved to the nobles that the powerful medicinal effect of the little red bottle was worth it. Therefore... Whether it was the Viscount of Gongyang City or the Viscount of Shili City, at this moment, they only had endless thoughts in their hearts. Jumping for joy.
Although in the final analysis, without the participation of the Antolians, a flat push is obviously unlikely.
But right now, the militiamen under the nobles and the Antolian soldiers belong to the Eastern Front Legion. This is their common honor. Together with the Antolians, they are killing each other!
And now that the goal of capturing Nangu City has been successfully achieved, Leon is no longer eager to lead his troops north.
Nangu City is the place where Leon has been planning to rebel.
The only thing to do now is to wait quietly for the arrival of the Duke of Galicia, and then give the Duke a big look!
Therefore, Leon skillfully dispatched soldiers to post notices in the city, and the originally dead atmosphere in Nangu City gradually faded away after two days.
It was precisely at this time that a piece of news from the north of the kingdom broke the peace of South Valley City and reached the ears of almost all the southern nobles, including the Duke of Leon and Galicia.
As the saying goes, when something outrageous happens, the ending may be even more outrageous and abstract.
The news from the north of the kingdom can be roughly divided into two points.
First, the armed parade of the Northland mercenaries was over, and second, the Northland mercenaries jumped into the arms of Duke Perel of Sorrowwind Castle again.
Simply outrageous!
"How dare Perel?!"
On the west bank of the Hom River, the Western Front Army camp.
When the news from the north of the kingdom reached his ears, the Duke of Galicia was shocked.
Because according to the news from the north of the kingdom, facing the fierce Northland mercenaries approaching Brundik, Duke Perel of Sorrowwind Castle actually went out of the city alone to fight with the Northland mercenary leader Sharp Coyle. The meeting lasted for more than three hours.
Then, Perel canonized Sharp Coyle as Earl of Brundick, and the Northland mercenary also re-swore allegiance to the Duke of Sadwind Castle.
The Duke of Galicia asked himself, if it were him, he would never dare to put himself in such a dangerous situation.
But this is obviously not the time for him to ask himself!
The reason why the Duke of Galicia decided to send troops was because he thought that Wilbert I had suffered heavy losses at this time, and the Duke of Sorrow had too much to take care of himself.
Only then did he plan to take this opportunity to promote Helson to the throne and seek a more glorious future for the Bravis family.
But, are you telling me now that the Northland mercenaries jumped back again? !
And this means that Perel did not suffer too much loss in this rebellion, but Wilbert I, who was already slightly inferior in military strength, was facing a flanking attack from the south and the north? ! !
No, there is also Herson who is marching from the east of the royal capital! This is a three-sided attack!
At this moment, the Duke of Galicia was completely stunned.
Is it too late to retreat back to the territory and say that I will no longer rebel?
Just when the Duke was in a state of confusion, the herald who broke into the camp brought him a piece of great "good news":
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
"Leon Jimena, Viscount of Antolia, has led the army to capture Nangu City!"
IELTS is so difficult, so difficult, so difficult, so difficult, my hearing is so bad, so bad. It sucks, it sucks! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
