"At last, we have trained all the 10 lion Knights!" Harold panted with sweat on the training ground. With success, he could finally have a little leisure.
Half a year after the real war between the kingdom of Colombo and other countries, the war broke out completely. A total of more than 300000 troops from the four countries began a long-term chaotic war.
It was chaos rather than the other three countries that besieged the kingdom of Colombo. The kingdom of Chiat wanted to reproduce the imperial form thousands of years ago. With its expanding ambition, it fell out with the kingdom of Babylon and the kingdom of lucanier.
The current situation is that the kingdom of Babylon and lukanir, two countries without legendary strength, are allied. Colombo and Chiat fight each other, forming three forces fighting around in chaos.
The kingdom of Colombo is the worst. The number of nobles is too small. There are nearly 200 nobles in the kingdom of Chiat, more than 130 in the kingdom of lucanier and the kingdom of Babylon, and only more than 30 in the kingdom of Colombo.
The kingdom of Chiat can only concentrate its strength, rely on the advantage of many soldiers to defend key positions and block the enemy''s large forces. As for the sporadic enemies invading from other places, it can only rely on the defenders of the territory to find their own way.
Harlott has few soldiers, a total of just over 1000. He sent 400 people to two large caravans as guards. Troops have to be stationed in various territories. The militia is embarrassed and used. Therefore, only more than 300 soldiers can be mobilized at any time.
Harlott is not prepared to recruit a large number of soldiers. He doesn''t want to get into the dilemma of worrying about materials like Marcus. Since there are not enough soldiers, he doesn''t intervene in the front battlefield. He takes soldiers to act as a fire brigade in the kingdom. Where the territory is dangerous, he takes people to kill them for support.
300 ordinary soldiers and 100 system soldiers are enough. It''s no problem even against thousands of enemy troops. It''s easy to beat the shit of the invading noble lords.
Harold has been busy for half a year. He has not been able to enjoy the extravagant life of becoming an aristocrat. He is either leading the army to fight or training all day.
Especially for the training of system soldiers, Harold recruited 130 system soldiers. Except those system soldiers responsible for sundries and caravans, there were exactly 100 people fighting with him.
Half of them are [Columbus] with cheap wages and excellent combat effectiveness. They can easily crush the human soldiers of other kingdoms.
The other half are 50 advanced arms [noble knight attendants] and [lion Knight]. The [lion Knight] is transformed from [noble knight].
Harlott set up a Knights'' order in the forging city. He can turn a [noble knight] into a [lion Knight] for 500 dinars. His combat power is close to that of adventure heroes. It''s like bullying children.
A junior Knights order can only provide 10 knights, and the upgrade will cost 50000 dinars. At present, there are not so many system currencies, and harlott does not have so many [noble knights] to upgrade.
In addition to training ordinary soldiers, Harold has only trained a total of 10 [noble knights] in the past six months, which can be transformed into a pre level of level 20, making it very difficult for them to upgrade.
Harlott can''t train soldiers idle every day as before. He spends most of his time on his way and fighting. It''s not a good thing that the territory of the kingdom of Colombo is too large.
Every time the signal for help comes, they rush to harlott for support. Often ten and a half days have passed. The more efficient enemies have already burned, killed and looted the runners. They will not choose to occupy the land before they can decide the victory or defeat in the front battlefield. They rob and destroy like robbers.
The nobles of the enemy country in the state of war are more ferocious than robbers. At least robbers only kill people for money, but nobles regard human life as worthless. It is customary to kill cities and burn villages.
When Harold played the game, he didn''t understand why those nobles liked burning villages and slaughtering people so much. Now he understands a little, because those nobles have the ability to kill and destroy! Civilians can''t resist!
There is no reason for the strong to trample on the weak. Just to show off their force and show their prestige, they can casually commit crimes. The blood inheritance of aristocratic power was originally to make mankind have the strong from other races for generations.
As a result, the power between the civilians and the aristocracy is too wide, and the ruling position is too stable. No matter how painful the civilians are, it is difficult to produce the rebellious heart to overthrow the rule. Over time, the aristocrats naturally do not regard the civilians as their own peers.
"Rand, you must remember that meaningless killing is not the work of the strong! Nobles exist to lead civilians to defeat the strong, not to humiliate the weak! Executioners who kill their own people do not deserve to be called heroes!"
Harold educated Rand. He felt that the decreasing number of nobles in the past millennium was related to this distorted class structure, and more and more nobles completely lost their heroic character.
Harlott was busy after the military operation. Rand was responsible for the management and public security of the territory, and Lucius was sent to RAND as a helper.
"Well, if I become a noble, I will guard the weak and fight against the strong enemies like my brother!" Rand is 18 years old, full of naive fantasies, and has a high degree of recognition for this idea of weiguangzheng.
Just when Harold wanted to go to the elf home to have a rest and relax, the castle housekeeper came to report the news: "Sir, count Ramon has come to visit you in person and is waiting for you in the castle hall."
"I see. I''ll change my clothes and wash it!" Harold probably guessed what Ramon came for. After the war escalated, they didn''t make any more transactions. Ramon didn''t dare to trade with Harold under the pressure of this tension.
Ramon should have come to intercede for the two nobles captured by Harold!
Harold came to fight in the past six months. At first, as a new aristocrat, he was not famous, and the enemy didn''t care about him. As a result, Harold''s own combat power was strong, and his system soldiers were even worse.
There are only a few or a dozen extraordinary Knights under the nobles, while harlott has a full 100 system soldiers. Ordinary soldiers are slightly inferior to extraordinary knights, but the combat effectiveness of [lion Knight], a top soldier, can sling extraordinary knights.
After Harold defeated seven or eight nobles in a row, his fame began. As soon as he came with his troops, he could scare off the enemy. But at first, because he despised Harold, he directly caught two nobles alive.
These two nobles really made Harold very angry. After rushing from a remote location to the territory of the kingdom of Colombo, they killed wherever they went, burned more than a dozen villages all the way, looted three towns and killed thousands of civilians.
Harold did not dare to violate the Treaty of not killing nobles in the war, so he could only catch the two men and take strict care of them.
The civil war between mankind broke out largely because of this treaty. In any case, if you lose, you won''t lose your life. All the people who died were the following people. Several Knights died in battle. The risk cost is too low.
Harlott can understand this treaty. After all, nobility is an important force of mankind. The more nobility, the stronger human racial strength. If there are thousands of noble families and more than a dozen legendary strong people like thousands of years ago, even orcs are not opponents.
But it was this treaty that led the aristocrats to be a little too unscrupulous. When there was no foreign attack, they were too indulgent. Some of them divorced from the whole race of mankind and claimed to be gods.
Although nobles are indeed as supreme as gods in their own territory, they can do whatever they want.
As soon as Harold entered the hall, he saw count Ramon coming up with a smile. "Brother Harold, I haven''t seen you for a long time. Congratulations on becoming a noble. I''ve only come to give you gifts for so long. Don''t blame me!"
Last time we met, Harold was still a civilian lord under Marcus. Although Ramon didn''t play tricks, he still spoke with a little arrogance and contempt, but this time he completely lowered his posture, said hello with a smiling face and spoke very politely.
"Brother Ramon, you''re too polite. What''s our relationship? You helped me a lot last time. I don''t know how to leave the kingdom of Babylon without you!"
As the saying goes, Ramon never participated in the war. On the contrary, he helped Harold once, including the "dream lamp" that can predict the danger, which was also sent by Ramon. Harold was still very kind to Ramon.
Moreover, Ramon is a rare good Lord and noble in this era. No matter how lecherous he is, the civilian living standard of his territory is definitely the top of several kingdoms.
It can be seen from several times of trade that harlott can only afford to send to other territories, and the goods can only be emptied through several territories, while even ordinary civilians in Ramon''s territory have savings to buy some cheap goods and sell them directly.
Harlott and Ramon said no nutritious polite words. The servant brought tea and snacks. After Ramon drank a mouthful of tea, he finally got to the point, "brother, I''m here not only to congratulate, but also entrusted to help redeem people."
"I don''t want to make up with you. I''ll tell you the price they give me directly. Whether you promise or not is optional. Don''t hurt our feelings!"
Ramon was also very smart. He didn''t pull down his face and ask Harold to let go. Harold owed Ramon a favor before. He didn''t want to consume this favor for two little nobles. Harold''s invincible performance of easily defeating the invading nobles in the past six months fully proved his strength.
Harold is only 18 years old. If this relationship is maintained, Ramon''s descendants can also benefit. Even if the kingdom of Colombo is defeated and destroyed, it is also a strength aristocrat to join other kingdoms with Harold''s strength!
The two nobles belong to the kingdom of Babylon. The ransom given by an aristocratic family is 100000 gold coins. They are simple but sincere. 100000 gold coins have been a lot.
Harlott''s territory is almost as large as that of ordinary nobles. The annual tax revenue is only twenty or thirty thousand. Even Marcus can save up to 100000 a year. Now Marcus spends all his money on buying food and weapons, and he can''t make ends meet.
In addition to 30000 gold coins given by another noble family, there were hundreds of winged slaves and a large number of human slaves. Many nobles of the kingdom of Babylon came to the kingdom of Colombo and took out the routine of paying Asians.
Capture slaves! A large number of civilians in the kingdom of Colombo were captured and brought to the kingdom of Babylon to become slaves. Harlott''s territory was awed by his reputation and military guard, but the population of other aristocratic territories suffered a lot.
