Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 68 Dilemma

Sauronborg.

After experiencing the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Grand Highlands, the Sauron Territory suddenly felt much more at ease.

It’s impossible to be restless!

All the original civilian soldiers of the Sauron Territory were captured by the Idar people, and then they were all dragged away by Count Idar to repair the fortress. Only the cavalry of the Sauron Territory and Herman Barkley, the eldest son of the Earl of Sauron, were used by the old count at a high price. The ransom was returned.

However, he originally thought that the cavalry who had been redeemed with a large amount of money could once again shoulder the important task of defending Sauron's territory, but he did not expect that what he spent a high ransom in exchange for was really just more than fifty naked cavalry.

As for the armor, swords, bows and arrows on the cavalry, as well as the mounts on their crotches, they were all detained by the Idar people.

Can a cavalry without a horse still be called a cavalry?

Think again about those armors and weapons that cost a lot of money to build...

Earl Sauron only felt heartache. Those were thousands of gold coins... just wasted...

"Trash! They are all trash! You brought so many troops! You were actually fought by the Idar people in a battle of annihilation! Don't you even know how to escape when the situation is unfavorable? This is completely unreasonable behavior of Ah San!"

Herman Barkley, standing aside, could only lower his head and bear the anger of his old father.

"My son thought that if he could kill the opponent's cavalry, he might be able to reverse the situation, but he didn't expect that it would be like this..." Herman Buckley said carefully.

A complete defeat caused Herman Barkley to completely lose his so-called noble dignity, and he really didn't want to experience the feeling of being pinned to the ground and rubbed by the enemy from tactics to strategy like this again.

"Bastard!" The old count gasped and stared angrily.

"It's just...those spies really deserve to die. The so-called news that Idar led all their efforts to build the garden must be false! This must be false news!"

"If the Idar Territory really did this, where did the pay for their soldiers come from? Besides, they also have bows and arrows with a longer range and better equipment. Although I don't know why, I The Dal's cavalry is simply unstoppable..." Herman Buckley narrated the story of the war to his father in detail.

"Brother, are you questioning my spies?" Behind Earl Sauron, Toru Buckley, Earl Sauron's second son, asked in a bad tone.

"That's right! I was questioning your spies!" Herman Barkley said bluntly.

"Hmph! We all know the strength of the Idar people. Brother, please stop making excuses for yourself to deal with your father!" Tolu Buckley asked. "Shut up! Ahem..." The old count slapped his withered right hand hard on the table.

Although it hurts...

But he still had a straight face and looked at his two sons who were quarreling with each other with a gloomy expression.

"The battle in the Glen Highlands was very bad... but if you lose, you lose. Now the Idar people have built a fortress on the south bank of the Solon River! On the south bank of the Solon River, that damn Earl of Idar is... I want to poke the fortress into the throat of the Sauron leader!"

As soon as this was mentioned, several people present were filled with indignation.

Sauron Castle is not far from the Sauron River. If you ride a horse, it only takes an hour or two.

A fortress controlled by Idar soldiers is rising on the south bank of the Sauron River at this moment. No one will remain indifferent, but... the Sauron leader has no way to prevent this from happening...

"The size of that fortress... I'm afraid it can't be built without three to four thousand gold coins. Our neighbor... is really well hidden..." Earl Sauron said in a deep voice.

"But what's even more disgusting is...the earls in the north, and even the little viscount, actually want to take advantage of the situation and tear a piece of meat from Lord Sauron's body. This has no aristocratic demeanor at all!"

"Father! We must not sit still and wait for death! Let me lead people to drive those northern bandits back!" Herman Barkley said with his fists clasped.

"Just you? Brother, I'm not talking about you. If you go, you might bring in the more than 100 soldiers you just recruited..."

"You..." Herman Buckley was speechless for a moment, but there was nothing he could do.

"How can more than a hundred newly formed civilian militiamen stop them... It's better to send someone to talk to them first..." the old count said sincerely.

"Master! Master, something bad is going to happen!" At this moment, Earl Sauron's butler ran in in a panic again.

"What's wrong?" the old count asked impatiently.

Ever since he made the idea of ​​​​Glen Highlands, the bad news these days has been one after another, which is a headache.

"Some civilians packed their bags and planned to leave Sauron Territory..." the steward said. UU Reading ｗww.uukaｎshu.netｔ

"That's it?" Earl Sauron said, "If they want to leave, just let them leave. It would be better if they all leave. Serfs are much easier to manage than those free people..."

"But...but it's spring plowing now, sir. If all the common people leave, where will we find people to farm..."

"What a joke, can't serfs farm?" Tolu Buckley interjected.

"Sir, most of Sauron's income comes from the free people..." the housekeeper said with a sad face.

"Did you just say... let's all leave?" After a while, Earl Sauron finally came to his senses.

"More than half of the civilians are packing their things, and it looks like they are leaving..."

"where to?"

You must know that in this era, large-scale movement of civilians is extremely rare.

"It is said that Count Bruno of the Idar Territory offered very generous conditions to the common people. He said... said it was..." The housekeeper stuttered and did not dare to say any more...

"Keep talking!" Earl Sauron said angrily.

"It is said that civilians who move to Idar can be allocated a large piece of land that can be cultivated. It is also said that the south bank of the Solon River is mostly idle fertile land. If you go to Idar territory, you may be able to obtain the right to use the land there. You also said that the Sauron Territory is already fragile and will soon go to war again. In addition, you have previously forcibly recruited more than a hundred people among the civilians as soldiers, so..."

"It's really too much of a lie! The south bank of the Sauron River was originally the land of my Sauron territory..." As soon as he finished speaking, Earl Sauron was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood...

"Father!" Herman Buckley shouted quickly.

"Call the doctor! Call the doctor quickly! I'll help my father drain some blood first. You go and call the doctor quickly!"
