Next to the training ground.
Lin Ke drove away Laplace, touched his cheek that had been rubbed by the papyrus, and then looked at the others.
He counted and found that almost all the nobles had arrived, and he saw a large, dark mass of people.
He asked Laplace to make a rough calculation, and found that the total number of troops here was nearly 30,000.
Thirty thousand people!
From ordinary refugees and commoners, to counts, sons of marquises, and princesses, the total number must be far more than 30,000.
Not to mention servants, slaves and retinues.
Fortunately, the interior of the Great Wall all the way to Azan Castle has been cleared, so it is naturally very spacious...
But if he needed to talk to everyone, Lin Ke would definitely have to fly with the Servant of Truth and use amplification.
Of course, now Lin Ke only needs to communicate with these twenty or so nobles.
"Now let's organize the team and define your functions and responsibilities, shall we?" Lin Ke drove the Gula Bull and approached the nobles.
Some of these nobles rode mounts, some walked, and some rode ox carts.
Some of these nobles have seven or eight levels of strength, some are only two or three levels, just like Lin Ke, and some are simply level one.
Some nobles entertained their friends and were surrounded by various servants and maids, while some nobles followed their guards and looked majestic.
Just from their appearance, Lin Ke could tell which nobles were powerful and had powerful subordinates.
"Everyone, come on?"
Lin Ke walked to a suitable position and stood still.
Earl Jusword and the others naturally came forward. Princess Lika went somewhere unknown and has not returned yet.
Some minor nobles similar to Lin Ke also came forward and greeted him obediently, hoping to please Lin Ke.
However, there were a few earls and viscounts who maintained their status and did not come forward.
Lin Ke didn't care either. If the army has been allocated and you haven't joined yet, then you can just be cannon fodder or fend for yourself.
"Hello everyone..."
Lin Ke looked at the people gathered around him and gave a polite chest-thumping salute.
However, only some returned the gift.
I saw Viscount Mantis driving his war horse forward, and said with a cold expression: "It is okay to hand over the military power, but our glorious team cannot be broken up!"
Lin Ke narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
Previously, Viscount Mantis was like a small transparent person on the top, but unexpectedly it jumped out now.
What Lin Ke originally wanted to do was to break up these teams into parts and use his own guard team as squad leaders to facilitate control and orders.
On a deeper level, it is easy for these noble troops to respect him.
Of course, after the war, the nobles will definitely take it back, but then Lin Ke will plant a seed in their hearts.
For example, when lords are at war with each other, if Lin Ke wins, it will be easy to take over the opposing lord's army.
After all, he was the team leader who we had known each other day and night, and the president who had treated him with kindness and power.
And if Lin Ke lost in that kind of war, to put it harshly, those people would treat Lin Ke kindly, right?
Coupled with Lin Ke's future plans for the Azane territory, Lin Ke used a method that extremely challenged the nerves of the nobles, that is, breaking them into parts to deal with these armies.
But nobles are not fools, at least not all of them.
The presence of Princess Lika just now, coupled with the help of Earl Jusword and others, and most importantly Lin Ke's own military qualities and knowledge, prevented the nobles from saying anything against it.
But now that Princess Lika is not here, those people can no longer sit still.
Viscount Mantis was quite shrewd in choosing to speak at this time.
At this moment, Earl Jusword spoke: "Just now at the Wall of Azan, all the nobles agreed. Are you going to betray the glory of the ancient contract?"
As soon as these words came out, the nobles who were originally a little moved and wanted to support Viscount Mantis were shaken in their hearts.
The contract is glorious and the word is true.
This is one of the foundations for nobles to maintain their own glory, honesty.
Viscount Mantis wanted to speak again, but he couldn't help but flinch when he saw Count Greatsword's cold expression.
The Earl of Great Sword is a powerful professional at level 16, and he is considered to have the highest combat power among this group of nobles.
Viscount Mantis was just a viscount, he was inherited, so of course he was not qualified to talk back.
"Haha, you can't say that."
However, at this moment, a deep voice sounded again.
Everyone looked over.
"Earl Grizzly Bear, what do you mean?" Before the giant sword could speak, Earl Black Claw shouted angrily: "Your Grizzly Bear Jungle is right next to my castle!"
"What? Do you still want to come and fight with me? I'm always with you!" The Earl of Grizzly Bear was tall and mighty, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he was not afraid of Earl of Black Claw.
After provoking Black Claw, Earl Grizzly Bear looked at Lin Ke again: "Lin Ke, I respect your character, but you are too young! And my Grizzly Bear Cavalry were all trained by five generations of my family, so we can't listen to this.
You can do whatever you want!"
Lin Ke frowned and listened carefully without making a sound.
After Earl Grizzly Bear finished speaking, Viscount Mantis, who had just retreated, jumped out again: "That's right! There are only two hundred [dual-sword warriors] in my family, and your father brutally killed more than a hundred before. Why should I fight?"
Let’s disperse and then listen to your command?”:.
After speaking, the nobles began to whisper among themselves.
What Earl Grizzly Bear and Viscount Mantis said is indeed correct!
Which of their armies has not been saved through hard work?
Let alone professionals, it is a team of ordinary people, and it is not easy to train.
Now most of them come here for military training and for the materials and parts of Warcraft.
A small number of them responded to the call of the Wuxian Emperor or were too close to Azan's territory, fearing that Azan's fall would spread to their own territory.
Only a very small part of them came for Lin Ke.
Whether it's for Lin Ke's future, or to curry favor with Aof, or for Princess Lika.
But in the end, there were only a few people who came here for Lin Ke's words of "taking the lead in the charge."
Therefore, the minds of these nobles were pried at this time.
"Indeed... what Mantes said makes sense..."
"My archers are elite, and those two thousand thorn pine bows... Andrew's legs are not easy to maintain!"
"Wait, have you forgotten the promise we made in front of Her Royal Highness Princess Lika?!"
"Princess Lika can't represent everyone, right? Besides, she's just a princess. Even Emperor Wumian can't break the ancient covenant."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Lin Ke frowned, looked at the people who were discussing, then looked at the direction where Princess Lika left in the distance, and finally turned to look at Viscount Mantis.
This Viscount Mantis is a shrewd man. It seems that he needs to be eliminated as soon as possible!
He just used a few words to stir up everyone's thoughts. It was really a bit sinister.
However, this is not the time for Lin Ke to speak!
So Lin Ke turned his attention to Akli and the others.
Akli blinked, and then spoke with a gentle look on his face: "Everyone, let's not get too angry. Look, there are some beasts looking at us opposite us!" He pointed at the Great Wall.
After saying these words, the originally high emotions of the nobles subsided.
Earl Jusword took this opportunity to speak: "I think our wisdom and courage... I mean, at least in terms of war, maybe it is not as good as Lin Ke? So now you have to do the same in terms of the glory and magnanimity of integrity.
Losing to a six-year-old?"
As soon as these words came out, those little nobles immediately wavered.
To be continued...
