Chapter 97 Stop pretending, it turns out that everyone is one of our own!
When the words fell, Viscount Shilicheng felt as if his whole body was shaking!
Stimulate!
It’s so exciting!
Although Count Brabant, who was friends with the two of them, had already vaccinated them before setting off, and suggested that they completely obey Leon's orders, he did not say it clearly after all.
Before arriving at Oak City, the Viscount of Ram City and the Viscount of Shili City had never been able to figure out the reason why Earl Brabant said this.
And now, everything is clear.
Not only did Count Brabant not share the same heart with the Bravis family, but the young Viscount Antolia was also aloof from the Braves family.
No, this is no longer a matter of indifference, this is a reversal!
Although the nobles enjoy luxury, they are not all fools. At least these two viscounts are quite shrewd, not at all like the huskies like Kolend Wayne who are easy to fool.
Seeing Leon opening the letter carelessly, how could he not realize what Leon was thinking?
Looking at the northward army under the Duke of Galicia, Leon controls the Eastern Front Army, and Count Brabant stays with the Duke. If he really wants to do something, it is not impossible.
In other words... the probability of success is very high!
Especially after they saw with their own eyes the strength of the Antolian army during the day!
Just a militia of 600 people was able to capture Oak City, which was completely beyond their understanding of war.
If you don't see a rabbit, don't let go of the hawk.
This is indeed the norm for nobles in this era.
Therefore, before this, even if they had received the entrustment from Count Brabant, the two viscounts had only shown appropriate kindness.
For example, when Leon planned to use Todd to control other noble militias, the Viscount of Shili City said a few nice words by the way, which gave Leon enough face.
But now, the military strength displayed by Antolia forced them to change their minds.
Late support is worthless than grass.
If we wait until Leon successfully jumps back and then express support, let alone the meat in the pot, even if we can't even drink the soup, I'm afraid we will only be licking the pot.
And in the eyes of the two viscounts, Leon's self-explosion of strength during the day was already a signal to the two of them!
So, no more hesitation, no more entanglement.
From now on, they will follow Viscount Antolia!
very good!
Leon was naturally quite satisfied with the two viscounts' statements.
However, just verbal support is obviously not enough: "In that case, which one of you two is going to suppress the prisoners who violently killed Earl Colt?" Surrender must look like surrender, since the two
viscounts If everyone agrees and gives the reason for Earl Colt's death in advance, then someone must implement it.
Killing a noble is no small matter after all.
Even if he planned to jump back, Leon was not willing to put this shit basin on his forehead.
Um?
Seeing Leon throwing back the olive branch he handed out, Viscount Gongyangcheng couldn't help but trembled in his heart.
Good guy!
Verbal support is indeed not enough. Do you need to take action on your own? !
While the Viscount of Gongyang City was thinking about it, the Viscount of Shili City, Marcello Fisher, took the initiative to invite him:
"I'll go!"
The Viscount of Shili City thought clearly, since he had already made up his mind to follow Antoli. As a demi-human being mixed up, he naturally had to show his sincerity. Killing Earl Colt was also considered as giving him a certificate of surrender.
From today on, I am not a rebel, but a loyal minister of the kingdom!
And that stupid Count Colt is the rebel who conspired with the Duke of Galicia!
It has to be said that Viscount Shilicheng's self-positioning is quite clear.
Why is it said that he is a loyal minister of the kingdom and not a loyal minister of Wilbert I?
Because he still doesn't know whether Leon plans to follow Wilbert I or Perel. The boss hasn't made a decision yet, so his thoughts must be a little vague.
The main thing is loyalty!
"Marcello (the Viscount of Shili City) is really good! He has high consciousness!"
Leon immediately gave him a thumbs up.
"I'll go too! The Viscount of Shili City may not be able to deal with those rioting prisoners of war alone!" Seeing that his colleagues on the side were already one step ahead of him, the Viscount of Gongyang City quickly added.
"Then let's go together."
Leon smiled and nodded, but still warned extremely solemnly: "The news must not be leaked!"
"Understood!"
The two viscounts replied in unison.
But having said that, considering the practical skills of the nobles in this era, Leon still asked Todd to lead people to follow him in case of emergency.
After a few people left in a hurry, Leon asked Andrew about the current situation in Oak City.
The pretentiousness during the day was mainly to get the two viscounts to line up as soon as possible, and they did not inquire in detail about the current situation.
Although Oak City has been conquered now, there is still Nangu City waiting for him ahead.
"There is plenty of food and grass in Oak City. Although the total amount is not much, plus the food and grass previously sent by the Duke of Galicia, it is enough to support the cost of the Viscount's attack on Nangu City." "It's just that, according to what I heard from the prisoners before
, With the information extracted, if you want to capture Nangu City before the Duke arrives, I'm afraid it won't be easy." "
Why?"
Leon couldn't help but frowned.
"There are about a thousand Kingdom reinforcements in Nangu City. In addition, Nangu City is the territory of Earl Hurley. If we include the militia and knights under Earl Hurley, the total number of defenders may have exceeded 2,000." "Viscount
. Although the army in your hands is more than 4,000, the only ones who can really fight a tough battle are the 1,200 soldiers from Antolia." "The
attacking party has suffered a loss, and now we are still outnumbered. At a disadvantage, if possible... Anyway, I have intercepted Count Colt's letter tonight, and the Duke of Galicia doesn't know what you think, so why not join forces with the Duke of Galicia first and then make plans?"
"No."
Leon shook his head very firmly.
According to the Antolian united front theory, if the army under his command is regarded as the first front, then the nobles gathered around the Duke of Galicia are the second front that Leon needs to fight for. battle front.
Only if he can capture Nangu City with the power of Antolia alone can he further consolidate and solidify the second front, allowing the nobles who originally gathered around the Duke of Galicia to remain neutral, or even turn to support him.
Furthermore, if we wait until the arrival of the Duke, will it be himself or Count Brabant who takes the lead in bringing order to the chaos and wiping out the southern rebels?
You need to capture Nangu City first, then you can catch the turtle in the urn when the Duke arrives and take away the biggest piece of cake!
Even though Leon has already reached an agreement with Count Brabant, he still has to do it when the time comes.
"The original plan cannot be changed. Nangu City must be captured before the Duke arrives!"
However...
After a moment of thinking, Leon's heart suddenly moved slightly, and an immature idea gradually emerged from his heart.
Thanks to the book friend "Prince Heshuolimi I" for the reward of 500 Andal silver coins, and a plateau hound as a reward~
