Noble Emblem
592 Alice’s Loss
If it were another general with a "genmiaozhenghong" army, he would probably not 'sell' his military exploits to others at will. After all, the nobility is also divided into civil servants and military officers. This is not a forced division, but based on the location of the territory, and the self-division of family inheritance. Androidtex was obviously a civil servant, and the lords headed by Glinton were generally military attachés.
Although nobles often cooperate with each other in interests, and most of the time there is no distinction between civil and military officials, but once it comes to war, the division between civil and military officials becomes obvious.
The territories of military attaches are generally close to the national border, and their economic situation is generally not as good as that of civilian lords. Because they have the task of defending the national border, their lives are generally not as good as those of civilian lords. Many times, in secret, they are being treated by civilian lords. They ridiculed him as a country bumpkin.
Therefore, the civil and military lords secretly had antagonistic feelings. In normal moods, military exploits are the face of the military attache lords, and they will not give way easily.
But there are no absolutes in anything. Many times, money is not the problem, the problem is lack of money.
For better armaments and more benefits, military attache lords will also 'sell' some military exploits as long as the price is right.
This provides the basis for cooperation.
The several lords who came to resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Sunderland this time were all civil servant types, and Alice was the only descendant of a military attache lord among them.
For most civil servant lords, war merit is something that is difficult to obtain. After all, they are 'civilian officials'. Even if they have an army, it is difficult to fight against real elite enemy soldiers.
That's why Lexa has been holding on and never taking the initiative.
As for Androtech, because he was the weakest among all the lords, he was forced to send him up to inspect the situation. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
After cleaning the battlefield, it was dawn. Alice came over, lightly bumped Beta with her left shoulder, and then pointed to the sky in the distance, where a long line of yellow sand was floating in the sky.
Beta looked at it for a while and said: "It should be the Sunderland army guarding the other channel. They knew that something was wrong and retreated."
"How could this happen? Aren't they going to invade our Huolaiwen?" Alice looked strange: "Why did they run away on their own?"
"Didn't you realize that something was wrong?" Beta frowned: "It is such a big thing that the enemy invades, but the king actually sent only a few of you here, and the people sent here, except for your soldiers, have enough fighting ability. In addition, the other soldiers seem to be only slightly stronger than the farmers. Also, Sunderland's army fled too simply."
Alice was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Maybe this is just a game. Our king may have reached some agreement with the king of Sunderland."
"This is unlikely." Alice was a little puzzled: "Then we killed an army in Sunderland. Did we do something bad with good intentions?"
"No, it will make this situation more real." Androtex, who had been staying next to him, suddenly said: "If Lord Beta's guess is correct, then our King must be secretly planning with the King of Sunderland What’s the big deal?”
Alice looked extremely unhappy: "For the so-called bureau, we have to sacrifice the soldiers on the front line?"
"If the benefits are great enough, then everything will be worth it." Androtex smiled: "Maybe we defeat the enemy, or we are defeated by the enemy, it is all under the consideration of the two majesties, and it will not affect the overall situation. ”
"It's unpleasant, even disgusting."
Alice made a sound of disgust, mounted her unicorn and ran off, her troop of cavalry following close behind.
Beta ordered the Frostwolf warriors to escort the prisoners back, and Androtex also sent people to help. Among these prisoners, he was one of them.
Looking at these captives, Beta felt a little happy. The captives could serve as coolies. While ensuring their basic living conditions, let them work, smooth their edges, and slowly transform them into members of the Holy City of Woking.
If possible, Beta does not want to convert enemy prisoners into his own, but there is no way. What he lacks most now is people... Just buying slaves is not an issue, after all, there are too few talents among the slaves.
When Beta returned to the front line of Sicily City with the prisoners, he was greeted by faces of disbelief.
Especially Rexxa, whose face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.
"Lord Beta, you are so powerful." Rexxar said the compliment against his will: "Three hundred people raided an army of more than five thousand people, defeated the enemy army, and captured at least a thousand soldiers. This is simply a miracle. "
"Good luck, good luck." Beta smiled.
Looking at Beta's smile, Lexa smiled, already hating him half to death in her heart.
Just now, Alice came back first and threw the benefit contract they promised on his table, and threatened: "I have done what you asked me to do. Within a month, I will see these Things appear on my property, otherwise there will be consequences.”
The little trick that he couldn't easily think of was actually destroyed by Beta. He believed that without Beta, no matter how strong Alice was, she would not be able to do such an exaggerated thing.
"Now the enemy on the left has been defeated, and the enemy on the right has fled." Beta asked with a smile: "What else do we need to do next? Can we take the troops home?"
Lexa took a few breaths and said calmly: "Well, you are a great hero, you can do whatever you want."
Beta left a meaningful smile and led the Frostwolf warriors back to their base. He was not in a hurry to leave. He first allocated 300 prisoners to Androtech. In fact, just about 700 prisoners were a big trouble. He had to make a proper plan to bring these 700 people back to his home. territory.
In the evening, Androtecht sent four hundred gold coins, and Beta gave half of them to the Frostwolf warriors, two gold coins each, but these warriors were so beautiful that they were so loyal and loyal to Beta. The favorability level has greatly improved again.
Then not long after, Alice came over.
Wearing a white leather armor, she sat in front of Beta, not speaking, but looking very disappointed.
"Still can't accept it?" Beta was a little surprised: "It stands to reason that you are also a member of the nobility and have lived for such a long time. You should look away from these things."
Alice took a while before speaking: "I understand, but when I think about our lovely soldiers fighting bloody battles on the front line and even dying, but their efforts and sacrifices are meaningless, I always feel very sad. Uncomfortable."
Beta thought for a while and said: "Then can you make their efforts and sacrifices meaningful?"
Alice raised her head and asked curiously: "Then what should I do?"
