King

"In addition to the nobles near the front line who are organizing defenses on the spot, noble armies from all over the country have already set off and are expected to arrive at the front line one after another in the next five to ten days.

Currently, the closest ones to us are the nobles in the Hansen area, which is only over eighty miles away, but their marching speed is a snail's pace, even less than ten miles per day.

The nobles in Warren, Kadar, Qiaomu and other areas are less than 120 miles away from us. It's just that they deliberately slowed down their marching speed, and the daily marching speed did not exceed twenty miles. "

As soon as the middle-aged officer finished speaking, Earl Pierce's anger suddenly burst out. It was simply too much of a lie. More than half a month after the recruitment order was issued, the reinforcements were still on the way.

Those who don’t know may think how big the Southeast Province is, but in fact the farthest noble territory from Ethel Fortress is no more than four hundred miles away.

It's such a small road, and it won't take more than half a month. It's no wonder that Earl Pierce is angry.

He was just angry. Before the rebels took off, he sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight and wanted to benefit from it. After all, he couldn't bring it to the table. The reaction of the nobles now is the backlash caused by these bad things.

The lessons learned from the nobles in Wright and Wyton counties made the small and medium-sized nobles in the southeastern province wary of him.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world. Hudson can analyze problems, and other nobles will also find clues.

In order to protect themselves, everyone naturally has to show their own abilities. Although Earl Pierce has ordered the news to be blocked, it has no effect at all on the nobles who want to inquire about the news.

There is no way, the nobles in the world are one family. Although Earl Pierce is the largest nobleman in the Southeast Province, he can't stand the fact that most of the knights under his command come from the families of small and medium-sized nobles.

Perhaps these people would not betray the feudal lord, but it would still be very possible for them to pass on some information to their family. You can't expect everyone to be 100% loyal, right?

"idiot!"

"They are all a bunch of idiots!"

"The longer it takes, the stronger the rebels will become. When the time comes to fight, they will have something to gain..."

Earl Pierce shouted angrily.

Deep down in his heart, he had made up his mind to give these small and medium-sized nobles a good beating.

I just want to think about it, but the actual operation is very troublesome. Everyone was passive and sabotaged, leaving him, the boss, to fight on the front lines with the rebels.

Even if there are all kinds of calculations, they just can't come over, and Pierce doesn't give up!

You can't let the rebels go and bring bad luck to the nobles, right?

If he really did this, I am afraid that all the nobles would be extremely happy. According to the style of the rebels, after a bloodbath all the way, the Dalton family was basically in despair.

Nobles enjoy many special privileges and also bear corresponding obligations. Just look at the nobles of Wright and Wyton counties and you will know that almost all of them died in battle.

Even if there is a fish that slips through the net, in the world of aristocrats, it is still a "dead person". "Responsibility to protect the land" is the most basic obligation of the nobles, and it is not something you can run away if you want.

Losing the territory is equivalent to losing everything the nobles have. Noble status and family glory were all wiped out in one wave. The cruel reality forced them to stay and fight.

Of course, the children outside do not count. These are seeds. If something unexpected happens, the descendants of the nobles who are living abroad can inherit the title and revive the family.

"Your Majesty the Governor, now is not the time to hold people accountable. The top priority is to urge nobles from all over the country to lead troops to reinforce as soon as possible.

Although Ethelburg was strong, it could not completely stop the rebels' advance. If the enemy bypasses the castle and divides his troops into Beida to cause trouble, it will be a big trouble. "

The middle-aged officer reminded.

This is not alarmist. Being a rebel does not require you to follow the rules of the game. There is no stable rear area anyway, and it doesn't really matter to the rebels whether they have a way out or not.

At that point, no matter whether Earl Pierce is willing or not, he can only use his family's secrets to fight the rebels in a bloody battle to the end.

After hesitating for a while, Count Pierce reacted, looked at the rebel camp outside the castle, and said cruelly: "Send the order, order all nobles to come within three days.

Tell them that Wyton and Wright counties, which have been harmed by the rebels, are waiting for them to come and collect them. As long as they achieve great success in the next battle, the ownerless fiefdom will be their spoils.

With the honor of the Dalton family, I guarantee that I will truthfully report to the capital and ensure that every meritorious minister receives matching treatment. "

The trouble you cause must be borne by yourself. If you want to mix in the aristocratic circle, you must follow some rules.

In order to save the situation, Earl Pierce had to spend a lot of money. After all, this wave of play is too big, and his family cannot handle it.

Even if he wanted to take over the land of the two counties, the royal capital would not agree.

There is no way to get the local nobles to endorse it, and the Dalton family cannot withstand the pressure. Maybe the royal family will get involved.

If the royal family gets caught, and takes the opportunity to carve out a prince, it will be difficult to say who is the boss in the southeastern province.

Being able to secure a position among the princes, Count Pierce was not in vain. After clarifying the possible interests involved, we made a decisive choice.

…

When the speed drops and the daily progress reaches more than ten miles, the march becomes a sightseeing tour. The tense war atmosphere no longer exists, but the entertainment atmosphere is getting stronger day by day.

As they moved forward, the alliance's team grew rapidly, and more and more nobles joined the group.

More people may not mean greater power, but the information must be well-informed. After everyone mobilized their connections and made careful inquiries, more and more information came in, and everyone gradually understood what was going on.

After the information became transparent, many nobles, including Hudson, let go of their worries.

After observing a moment of silence for the unlucky nobles of Wright and Wyton counties, everyone criticized Earl Pierce and wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Of course, this is limited to verbal criticism. It is still difficult for everyone to stand up for justice. After all, everyone is smart and knows how powerful their abilities are.

The only thing that can be done is to continue to work passively.

Since the rebellion was indulged by Earl Pierce, he had to be responsible for dealing with the aftermath, otherwise the kingdom would not be able to reap the benefits of him if he was held accountable.

There are people on the front line, so the rebels can't harm their own land, so everyone doesn't panic.

As for the issue of delaying the date, everyone has already thought of a countermeasure, and the excuse is ready-the rebels invaded.

If there is a rebel attack, then yes, the truth is not important.

Earl Pierce had an unshirkable responsibility for this rebellion, which was equivalent to a ready-made handle. There was no way to delve deeper into this issue.

It was not until Earl Pierce's military order came again that the situation changed. Compared with the previous purely compulsory service, now there is the promise of physical rewards.
