If I let you farm, will you become the emperor of the empire?

Not to mention the cracked armor component.

First of all, the muddy swamp is rich in mercenaries.

There are longbowmen and crossbowmen for long-range combat, and swordsmen for close combat.

They are orderly and have strong combat effectiveness.

But the cost of mercenaries is also very high, and the daily salary is much higher than that of conscripted soldiers.

It must have cost a lot for Gael to be able to pull out a 3,000-man mercenary army. This battle would not have been possible without 10,000 gold coins.

The second is the power of the Church.

Roman killed the priests of the Church when he plundered Kant Territory.

It has been a whole year.

The Church can't pretend to see nothing.

Especially Duke Gael personally wrote a letter to the Pope.

So, the Pope sent 30 knights of trial on the spot, and they were not fighting alone. Counting the attendants and orderly soldiers who served the knights, there were about 200 soldiers.

This is not the point.

The highlight is the gathering of nuns from the monastery, priests and believers from the church.

Led by Bishop Maillard, the priests have some basic divine arts, and the nuns form a choir.

The believers are equivalent to the conscripted army of the Holy See, and some of them bring their families and dry food with them.

There is no other reason, mainly to fight for faith.

In the past, the Holy See could not organize such a large army of believers.

The three Black Iron Dukes are eyeing the church and prohibiting the church from using external armed forces.

Even if they use them, they can only protect themselves, not attack.

However, the current situation is chaotic, and the previous dogmas are gradually unable to take effect.

Not to mention, this time it was initiated by Duke Gale, and the gatekeeper handed the key to the prison inmate.

What are you waiting for!

Let's kick off the upcoming Holy See power!

Even the Pope himself is more concerned about this matter.

This is the first show of the Holy See power, otherwise the Knights of Judgment would not be sent here.

In the past hundred years, the Holy See has had a hard time.

Monasteries and churches were built one after another, and the gods' believers were spread all over the seven countries, but they just couldn't be mobilized.

Roman was not the only one who killed priests.

The Arctic pirates also killed priests very hard.

Who let the monasteries and churches have money?

Not to mention the annual tithe, the monasteries and churches also have their own land, which can save some money every year. Over the years, that wealth is not a small number.

The different beliefs of the two sides are also a big problem.

The Arctic pirates came from the land of Ego and belonged to the dragon faith. They vowed to bring the wrath of the Dragon King to the whole land.

This is completely different from the belief in the gods.

The pirates and the church are very hostile to each other and persecute each other religiously.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the pirates have the upper hand because the church has been constrained.

Roman's rebellion aroused Gale's anger.

The Grand Duke of the Split Armor is ready to no longer abide by the past treaty and release some of the church's mobilization rights.

This assembly has pulled out 5,000 troops.

This is the vanguard. The Church regards Roman as a whetstone to see how effective it is.

The last one is Bechts's 1,000 men.

But Bechts does not want to participate in the war.

The total number of troops to attack Roman is five digits.

Even without Bechts, it is still five digits.

That is, not more, not less.

There is no need to travel so far, which is costly and laborious.

But the two major families of Bechts and Split Armor resist pirates, and Gale is the commander-in-chief, and Bechts has indeed participated in the war against Roman.

For various factors, Count Bechts reluctantly sent Front to lead a thousand men.

By the way, secretly observe the strength of the Church.

When setting up camp, the army commanders gathered to discuss how to complete the rebellion.

Front had fought with Roman before, so he spoke first.

"I dare to remind you that our opponent this time is not simple, and may be more difficult to deal with than pirates."

"If he dares to come out, I will shoot him to death with one arrow! Just like I shot Lord Owen to death!" Kate Split Armor said coldly.

Kate is Gale's second son, over 30 years old. Theoretically, he should call Roman uncle.

The marriage of nobles forms a huge network with connections to each other.

Even the defeated and the victor can fight to the death during the day because of the complicated kinship. Once the war is over, they will drink together after the war. Afterwards, as long as a high ransom is paid, they can return to the territory safely.

In Kate's view, Roman cut himself off from the nobles, so what's the point of marrying!

Even if he didn't cut himself off from the nobles.

A mere illegitimate child of Ulster is not worthy of his attention.

Now Gale is the Grand Duke of Split Armor.

The inheritance method of the Split Armor family is that the next duke is designated by the previous duke.

But the system followed is the feudal system.

The first three generations of the Grand Duke of Split Armor had few children, either died young or died in battle, so they were single descendants.

The fourth generation, Ulster, had only one son and one daughter, so there was no chance for enfeoffment.

Duke Gale was prepared to follow the old teachings.

Whether the eldest son or the second son, as long as he was legitimate, he should be given what he deserved.

Gale was a man of old-fashioned temperament and strict self-discipline. He had never had a lover or an illegitimate child, and Kate and his elder brother had always known this.

So Kate was not worried about the future, but she hated the illegitimate son Roman.

He should not have gotten that piece of land, which was a good piece of land with unlimited potential.

Ulster hid the land for decades and finally gave it to Roman.

People thought that the place was wild, remote and bad, equivalent to Lingnan.

But who knew that it was a paradise, and after welcoming the second lord, it immediately ushered in earth-shaking changes.

Now everyone is wondering.

What kind of output can a piece of land have to support such a powerful army?

If possible, Kate will ask his father, the Duke, to confer the valley on him after suppressing the rebellion.

"He is also named Liejia, and it is said that there is no city in that valley, and he will not walk on the city wall. Lord Kate, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to succeed." Trial Knight Donald Lasor said.

Demon Hunter Knights are black armor, Templar Knights are silver armor and white cloaks, and Trial Knights are red armor.

Red armor means war and blood, they are the real battlefield power.

Liejia's expression is grim and he didn't speak.

He knew it well, but he still held a glimmer of hope. Who knows?

Liejia has undergone special training and has a keen intuition. Once they encounter danger, they feel like a thorn in their backs, especially when they are pointed at by sharp objects. The tingling sensation can even make their scalps itchy.

The Broken Archer was not afraid of any troops, but only of another Broken Archer.

Because he couldn't shoot accurately, let alone long-range shooting. Once the two were a hundred meters apart, unless the firepower covered, the Broken Armor could dodge in a very short time.

He hoped that Roman would make a mistake.

People make mistakes, especially young people.

He knew that his young illegitimate uncle was only 18 years old now.

"Let's talk about how to attack the valley first." Bishop Maillard said.

At this time, the Broken Armor scout entered the camp and whispered in Kate's ear.

Kate frowned and sneered: "It seems that we don't need to attack. He walked out by himself."

Sure enough, he is still young.

Later, everyone also learned about this.

Only Front frowned. In his impression, the young lord was not a reckless person.

On the contrary, he was unbelievably calm.

Facing the round-robin battle, he resisted four waves of attacks. That was a bloody battle.

Being sandwiched on both sides, facing the beast warriors, they still stabilized the front line.

Thinking about it now, Front still finds it incredible.

Why did he take such a risk this time?

It shouldn't be.

Thus, a question was put before them.

How to fight this battle?
