Dean Massimo is a bit low-key, and the reputation of the nobles cannot be trusted, so it depends on the situation.

The person who gave the money was Duke Leopold. You have to do something after taking the money, otherwise you will end up in a terrible situation.

If a commoner or even a merchant noble dared to use so much money to bribe the commander of the Farid Army, the consequences would definitely be tied up and hanged.

But Duke Leopold...you can only do things honestly with money.

Simon was not kept waiting for long, and at the appointed time, Farid sneaked to the military camp with a few of his cronies.

Seeing that the war was approaching, Farid's mood was also very subtle when he came to the enemy's military camp at this time.

Looking back, he knew there was no turning back after he took the money.

"Who do you give your life for instead of selling? At least Duke Leopold is more generous."

Farid gritted his teeth and walked into the military camp.

It wasn't until he met Simon that the latter believed it was true.

This was the first time he encountered this situation. He thought it would be a hard battle, but he didn't know that the army commander surrendered before he could fight.

Simon glanced at Massimo and thought that this magician still had some abilities.

"General Simon," Farid said with a correct attitude. As a man who surrendered for money, he was not qualified to compare with others: "The garrison of Monta Province is completely under my control. You can send people to take over at any time.

The legion has a total of more than 11,000 people. According to the latest order of the puppet king Arthur, it will be expanded into a legion of 30,000 people, stationed on the front line, and cooperate with the Royal Guards in the battle.

The reserve soldiers are local reserves and city guards. Some of the officers are promoted from noble knights, and some will be appointed by the king himself.

I have been authorized to take charge of the preliminary matters and will continue to serve as the commander of the corps.

In addition, I need to hold on for half a month, and reinforcements will arrive in half a month.

At present, the kingdom has fifteen granary warehouses and seven armaments warehouses.

There are about 20,000 regular troops in the entire Monta Province, and a little more aristocratic private troops.

This is the clearest defense diagram I know of. "

Since you want to sell, sell thoroughly.

Farid was so ruthless that he wiped out all his money.

In this regard, he is reputable.

After taking so much money, of course I have to do things well.

Simon was a little confused. After getting these things, plus the surrender of 11,000 men from the Monta Province garrison, it would be very difficult to capture Monta Province.

He thought there were going to be a few battles, but he didn't expect that he would be able to achieve his goal easily.

Glancing at Dean Massimo again, he paid more attention to it.

"General Farid, welcome to join the Northern Principality," Simon's voice was stiff, but he managed to squeeze out a smile: "But I need you to lurk temporarily, can you do it?"

"Do you want me to defect before the battle?" Farid responded quickly.

After all, a person who is the commander of a corps can be responsible for the defense of a province. It is impossible for him to know everything.

There is a bit of risk in doing this, after all, the news may leak.

However, the benefits are also huge. If the Royal Guards who come to help are severely damaged, King Arthur will jump.

Farid's heart beat rapidly, he had already thought of this possibility.

Now that we have surrendered, we definitely hope that the Northern Principality will get better and better.

If he could defeat the Lewis family, he would be orthodox, and he would abandon the dark side and join the bright side.

Of course, he also has to consider the risks, which involve risking his life.

"Five hundred thousand silver coins, let's add more money." Dean Massimo suddenly interrupted.

He saw Farid's hesitation.

For Massimo, who had obtained the authorization from His Excellency the Duke, it was just a question of whether the money was enough.

If the price is right, Farid's own life can be sold to the Duke.

Sure enough, Farid, who was still hesitating, made up his mind instantly: "For the great cause of His Excellency the Duke, I took this risk."

Simon was still thinking about convincing the other party, but he didn't expect to solve the problem so easily.

He talked with Farid for a while and found that the other person was quite capable.

At least in military terms, he is a qualified general, but he is too greedy for money.

The two agreed on a secret code and prepared to cooperate.

Before leaving, Farid took the initiative and said: "We don't have much time, my family should escape from the royal capital now, and the false king Arthur will find out soon.

As soon as the Guards Corps arrives, we must take action as soon as possible.

If it was discovered early, I would have no choice but to give up this opportunity.

Of course, as soon as my family arrives, I will arrange for them to go to His Excellency the Duke's territory and bring my silver coins with them. If something happens to me, I will ask you two to take care of my family. "

As a traitor, there is no guarantee that the new master will not believe him.

Farid is very honest and sends all his family and money to Derek's land, showing that he has no other ideas.

Simon also believed that he was not such a ruthless person who could sacrifice his family's lives for King Arthur.

Of course, he will also arrange some defensive measures, which is human nature.

"General Farid, you can rest assured that the Duke's reputation is clear to you and he will protect you and your family."

The two sides ended the friendly negotiation, and Dean Massimo sent the silver coins in time. This was the basis for everything.

In the next few days, Farid stood still, actively expanded the army, and activated the sealed weapons.

In addition, the main force of the standing army actively deployed the defense line, and the scouts fought against Duke Leopold's army many times.

Simon was not idle either. He took the defense map revealed by Farid and directly focused on attacking some die-hard elements.

On the surface, the province of Monta was in flames, and the two sides fought fiercely, and the entire province was in chaos.

It was at this time that the Fifth Corps of the Royal Guards arrived quickly.

This was the capital of the Louis family. King Arthur, in the name of the king, quickly mastered this elite corps with the help of the royal family.

The nature of the Guards Corps determined who they would be loyal to.

The internal strife of the royal family had nothing to do with them.

Indifferent but effective.

In the process of the Louis family's power transition, the power of the Guards Corps was preserved very intact, which was the foundation of the kingdom's stability.

This time, the Northern Principality became independent, and King Arthur had to use this trump card.

In addition to the First and Second Corps guarding the Royal Capital, the Third Corps fought in the South, and the Fourth Corps was scattered in the Pan-Royal Capital area.

In addition to the garrison corps, noble private armies and city guards in various places, King Arthur had enough capital, and at least squandering a few times would not threaten his status.

The Fifth Corps of the Guards found a camp for themselves as soon as possible and stopped to station.

According to the king's order, they need to fight in the north for a long time.

The legion commander Rogge has the power to control all the troops in Monta Province, and the king trusts him more than legion commanders like Farid.

Rogge is also a cautious person. Before coming to Monta Province, he went to meet Farid's family.

He set off only after confirming that Farid was fine.
