"And I found that, in addition to those barbarians, many human soldiers are also in the strength of knights or great knights. The general Ken, headed by him, is also third-order extraordinary." the middle-aged Knight said with a serious face.
"They have such strong strength."
"Then can they help us recover winter city? We can pay him!" these nobles completely forgot that they wanted sulun to hand over those people just now.
"Yes, we can pay and ask him to help us recover winter city." these people said excitedly.
They have made plans. As long as they recover the winter city, they will not abandon the city and flee. Even if they will be punished afterwards, their relationship will not be too serious, which is too light compared with the punishment of completely losing territory.
"Gentlemen, there are not many orcs in winter city now. It's easy to capture it, but how we hold it is the problem." count Elia looked at them and said.
"That means we need to hire them until the war is over!"
Everyone looked at each other. There must be a big gap between hiring to capture a city and hiring them to the end of the war. At the thought of this, the nobles were silent again.
"I have a better way." just then, a man nearby suddenly said.
"What can I do?"
"We don't have to rush to hire the troops of Zhenbei city. We can hire them when the battle is about to end. In this way, even if we hire them until the end of the war, it won't take a few days, or even three days if we are lucky." the man said his way.
You are such a clever boy!
"Yes! Why didn't I think of it!"
"We can do that!" the other nobles nodded one after another.
"That's it!" soon the nobles unanimously adopted this method. Only count Elia frowned slightly, obviously not optimistic.
"In that case, we have to start preparing now. When the winter city was broken, many soldiers escaped. Now there are many scattered soldiers in the field. We must gather them as soon as possible, or even if we hold the city, we have no hands available."
"In addition, we should prepare enough jinnar. It will not be a small number to hire the army of the North Town at that time."
"We should have a clear division of labor and start action as soon as possible, otherwise all the routed soldiers and refugees will be robbed by the north town."
When these nobles faced their own interests, their action efficiency improved rapidly, but they seemed to forget whether sulun was willing to help them.
......
After arranging the migration of slaves, Suellen returned to Blackstone fortress to meet these nobles. After seeing these nobles again, Su Lun found that the attitude of these nobles towards him had changed greatly. They had been very reserved before, and now they began to please Su Lun one by one.
Then he flattered him in a variety of ways. Su Lun saw that the thickness of these people's faces was amazing.
The lady who looked noble still wore a veil today, but her clothes were no longer a gray cloak, but a long silk dress embroidered with gold and silver silk thread. Such a long silk skirt costs at least hundreds of ginals. It seems that even on the way to escape, she brought a lot of things out. At this point, she should pay attention to her image.
In this atmosphere, the atmosphere of conversation between the two sides is naturally very harmonious, and each other has the idea of wanting to know more information.
Through them, Suellen wanted to understand the aristocratic forces in the northern provinces and the strength of the kingdom of Florence. It is used to judge when the battle will last, and make some supplements to his plan of fishing in troubled waters and migrating people.
These nobles wanted to find out Su Lun's attitude and his strength. Even these nobles said they wanted to ask Su Lun to send troops to help them recover their lost land. Su Lun only catered to a few words on the surface, and there was no specific commitment.
Through conversation, Su Lun also understood the identity of these nobles. The lady was the Lord of winter city, count Elia. The remaining nobles were her vassals. Don't think women can't inherit titles. In fact, it's not unusual for women to inherit titles in Florence.
However, after a woman inherits the title, if she gets married, her husband changes it, and if the children born want to inherit the title, they must have the mother's surname.
After some conversation, they saw that Su Lun didn't agree to their requirements, and these nobles were not depressed. This time, they were just trying, but they still made a request to buy food and weapons from the north town.
When they fled from the winter city, these nobles lacked food and weapons. They wanted to summon the defeated soldiers again. It was impossible without food and weapons. Su Lun thought for a moment and agreed that although these nobles are not very strong, they can also fill the number. If the orcs attack, they can also help defend.
However, the prices of weapons and grain were not cheap, and of course sulun did not kill a sum.
Of course, credit is absolutely impossible, not even the countess. Although you have a pair of sapphire like kazilan's big eyes, slim figure, exquisite curve, slender waist like a water snake, round hips and upturned hips like peaches, you want to make people can't help patting them. It's a pity to have long legs without pedaling three rounds, But these are not the reasons why you want to borrow money.
After su Lun refused credit, these nobles had to spend money to buy. Because they didn't have much money, these people bought 500 people's grain a month and some iron armor weapons. This also made Su Lun sigh that the nobles were so rich that they could still take out so much money.
If these people are willing to spend the money on soldiers, they will not be destroyed by orcs without supporting a wave of ORC attacks, but there is no if in this world.
After talking with these nobles, Suellen started his action again. The drow scouts led by Aton did not come back at all. After solving the orcs in the previous camp, they continued to look for the next target.
There are two cities near winter city, one is Colin city and the other is Beifeng city. The size of the two cities is similar to that of winter city, but their fate is completely different. Colin city was captured by orcs, while Northwind City survived.
On the one hand, the location of Colin city is just on the route to kart city. On the other hand, the north wind Knights of north wind city can rank among the top three in the north. Of course, the orcs didn't attack here with all their strength is the main reason.
Outside the north wind city, the orcs sent wolf cavalry to loot and loot some food, and the rest was directly burned by the north wind city. Although the orcs did not send the main force to attack here, they still left a wolf cavalry team and some Orc troops. Their task is to watch and harass these humans, so that they can only hide in the city and cannot support kart city.
Obviously, the orc's plan was successful. Beifeng city did not send troops. On the plain, the speed of human light cavalry was about the same as that of a wolf. Although the endurance of a wolf was poor, it was enough to suppress human light cavalry. As for the heavy cavalry, as long as the orc general is not stupid, he won't fight hard at all. But constantly harassing around. This has caused a strange phenomenon. Those who can catch up can't catch up.
So Beifeng City honestly blocked the city gate and could only guard against the orc attack.
After Colin city was captured by the orc army, the orcs said that all the food and materials in Colin city had been looted, but it was much better than winter city. At least there were still a lot of people escaping in Colin city. Suellen knew that there were only 5000 people in the orc camp in Colin City after receiving information from Aton.
The rest of the humans hid in the surrounding woods, and the orc army also left some people to garrison here. When Suellen came to Colin with his army, he found that the orcs here were very cautious.
The orc people have known about Suellen's sneak attack on the orc camp. Now all the orc camps are on high alert. But even if they raised their vigilance, the result was the same for the army in Zhenbei city.
Taking advantage of the night, Su Lun used the shadow sky lamp to hide all the troops in Zhenbei City, and then made a direct raid near the orc camp. The sudden war suddenly stunned the orcs. Zhenbei city easily opened the gate of the camp, and the next battle was still one-sided.
With the help of a large number of Eagle banshees, the stones in the sky are like hail. The orc army can't even arrange the formation. A large number of ORC soldiers are broken and broken by stones. Although most of the stones thrown by Eagle banshees weigh only one or two kilograms, falling from a height of tens of meters is still fatal.
After forcibly occupying the orc camp here, sulun took away 5000 people here again, and began to gather refugees and routed soldiers around. When these refugees fled, they basically did not carry food. The food outside the city was also harvested by the orcs. These people can only dig wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.
Sulun just built a porridge shed in the camp, and then a large number of hungry refugees and rout soldiers came. Sulun also took these people in and transported them to Blackstone fortress. However, when gathering the refugees, sulun also met the nobles in Colin city. After knowing that sulun was only a pioneer, these nobles directly asked sulun to provide them with food.
Then he was severely educated by Su Lun. Although he didn't hurt their names, he still had to suffer. In addition, Su Lun forcibly robbed the defeated soldiers and refugees they gathered. Since you have no food, let us help you raise it.
Suellen found a reason to swallow these people, leaving only a small part of them.
