As early as ten years ago, in order to expand his influence and take root in the North, Chen Heng adopted a policy of positive and external efforts to make good friends with the North's aristocrats.

The population of the nobles grew. In almost every family, except for the eldest son who had inheritance rights, there were a large number of tribe members who could not be arranged.

Where these people go is undoubtedly a headache.

As the second son or even the partial branch, these people have no inheritance rights and can only obtain a small amount of property and even other help.

Under the rules of this era, it is difficult for them to have a decent life like their parents.

But Chen Heng solved a problem for them to a certain extent.

Unlike other lords of this era, Chen Heng's territory had a complete bureaucratic system, involving all aspects and was very perfect.

A perfect ruling system naturally requires a large number of administrative officials to be used for execution.

And the second sons of nobles who could not be resettled by others were targeted by Chen Heng.

In this era when civilians generally cannot read, the second sons of these nobles were born among the nobles and could basically read and write. Some of them may have mastered other skills. They are the best and only source of officials in this era.

Therefore, over the past decade, with Chen Heng's development, a large number of tribesmen from other nobles gathered in his territory.

At this level, naturally, many people are loyal to it.

However, among them, there are only a few lords like Kurudo.

Among those loyalists, there were more landless nobles who had no territory and were eager to obtain territory through Chen Heng.

"His Majesty Oliman ordered me to call my army to fight against the rebels."

Sitting upright in the hall, Chen Heng's face was calm and he said to Kurudo.

"Fight against the rebels?"

After the words came to an end, everyone present changed their expressions.

Leaving from your own territory and going to a strange place to fight the rebels is not a matter of talking, but there are many things involved.

How to arrange food and how to ensure logistics? Where to draw the army from, will it cause territorial emptiness and accidents?

There are many literal questions just.

And there are more problems outside the battlefield.

Especially in the current situation, do they still need to support Oliman and fight those rebels?

These are all problems.

Thinking of this, everyone present changed their faces, and then they looked forward and looked at Chen Heng.

At present, Chen Heng is the only one who can make a decision in the entire Soda.

His ideas are the most important factor in determining whether to go to the battle.

Feeling the gaze of the people around him, Chen Heng's face was calm, but he just raised his head silently and said, "If we really go to fight, how many troops can we take out at the moment?"

"Without affecting defense, you can probably take out about five thousand people."

Someone thought for a moment and finally spoke like this.

"Five thousand people."

Chen Heng nodded.

These five thousand people are the family he has accumulated over the past decade.

Although it looks good, it is completely comparable to the number of troops that have moved hundreds of thousands or millions in history, it is the result of Chen Heng's efforts.

After all, Soda's foundation was too bad, and it was just a piece of white ground at the beginning.

Although Chen Heng has tried his best to develop in the past decade, attracting the population, leading the tribes, and buying slaves to fill it, the population of Soda is only hundreds of thousands.

With this population, it is already the limit to being able to support ten thousand troops.

Among these ten thousand people, only these five thousand people can be drawn out.

Of course, although this number is nothing to Chen Heng's opinion, it is already an extremely huge number in the eyes of other lords of the Kutu Kingdom.

The lords of this era were generally poor. Except for a few great nobles, the number of warriors in the hands of the other small lords was actually not large.

Just like Chen Heng's father Baron Kayson, the number of guards in the entire territory was only three or four hundred.

At this moment, the rebels in the south are so powerful, but their core combat power is probably less than 10,000, and they are all subordinate to different lords. They are the same as Chen Heng's orders, and the complete army is incomparable.

In the eyes of Kurudo and others, Chen Heng's strength was already very strong and he was the best among the North.

However, in Chen Heng's opinion, this number of troops is still a bit insufficient.

It's not that the combat effectiveness is not enough.

In fact, Chen Heng put in a lot of effort to ensure the combat effectiveness of his army.

The troops in his hands are all troops that fight with foreign races every day. Not only do they often face battles, but their daily meal training is not bad at all.

With their training level, if they were placed in the army of other lords, they might immediately cause a mutiny.

Training, logistics, equipment, practical combat, there is no shortage of any.

Such an army must have good combat effectiveness.

And in fact, the same is true.

In recent years, Chen Heng has not only fought with the army of the lords of the northern land in addition to fighting with foreign races.

For the Southern Lords, the army in the northern territory, is simply unmatched with the same number of troops and will be easily defeated.

The lords of the north have been fighting for many years, and the combat effectiveness of the army is stronger than that of the south.

Even they were like this, let alone the southern army.

But although the combat effectiveness is sufficient, it may not be enough to achieve a larger goal.

If you want to defeat the southern army, Chen Heng's five thousand men are enough.

But it may not be enough to control the wide range of territory and achieve the effect Chen Heng wants.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Heng turned around and looked at Kurudo: "If I ask the lord of the North to send troops to set out with me, how many people can be recruited?"

Chen Heng spoke indifferently and said.

Looking at Chen Heng, Kurudo was stunned.

But soon, he reacted and his face turned correct: "The Ola family is willing to take out five hundred people to follow."

"The Keso family is willing to give out three hundred people."

"The Solin family is willing to take out four hundred..."

"The Vido family can take out three hundred..."

Flashes of sound fell on the spot.

In the audience, in addition to Kurudo, there were several small lords who also secretly swore allegiance to Chen Heng.

The number of troops these people took out was one more time, and in a short time, they gathered another 1,500 people.

"Send news to several other families for me, saying that I want to invite them in Soda."
