In this world, the easiest people to fool are the civilians. This is probably where the word fool comes from. They only believe everything they see in their own eyes, and they rarely think deeply about why? Even if a few civilians are
At the same time, they will not take the initiative to discuss it. They prefer to tell everyone around them what they have heard from others, especially from higher-level nobles or soldiers, to show that they are well-informed.
Looking at the children, parents, relatives, and neighbors lying in a pool of blood, I can still accurately recall the ferocious faces of those knights in red armor. They raised their sabers high and chopped off the heads of their loved ones with one knife. Countless people were killed in the light of the swords.
He fell down, and then looked at the people who were regarded as life and death enemies a few minutes ago squatting on the ground and carefully carrying away the dead and bandaging the injured. The kind-hearted people changed their stance without any hesitation. Some even started to curse.
Sweat and Blood Mercenary Group.
Su Wen turned his horse and ran towards Chang Qing, with a cold and even sinister smile on his lips: "Boy, arrange for someone to report this to General Chi Er. 23 people of the Black Dragon Knights died in the battle and 31 were injured. The enemy battle
Nearly 900 people died, and no less than 700 people were injured." The speaker's tone could not be calmer.
"Yes, Uncle Su." As a boy, Chang Qing had not yet learned to be ruthless. He subconsciously glanced at the wailing crowd. The young man could even clearly feel his conscience sinking into the boundless darkness. He hesitated for a moment, and then
Three Elf Wild Vulture Knights were sent out and flew in the direction of the setting sun.
"Take good care of the injured residents, send the seriously injured residents to the nearest village, and leave 200 women to take care of them. Damn it, rabbits don't even eat grass on the edge of their nests, these bastard sweat-blooded mercenary groups are really going downhill.
Hand. Give 10 gold coins to every injured resident." Su Wen disappeared from the smile on his face, turned around and yelled at his subordinates.
Su Wen became famous in one battle on the Killing Hill... He will become famous and his bones will wither...
Stealing chicken but losing rice is the most appropriate word to describe the mood of the leaders of the mercenary regiments such as Tieshou Banjiang and Han Han. Everything has been thought of. The only thing that has been overlooked is that the other party actually treats civilians as
The best tool to besiege the knights. In just over 10 minutes, a thousand-man team was buried inside. Thinking about it now, there is really nothing surprising about the enemy's approach. The only way the opponent can threaten the residents is
In order to consume the defenders, this was just applied in advance. If he were the commander of the Sweat and Blood Mercenary Group, even if he knew in advance that he would face a sneak attack, his response would only be limited to an ambush using conventional means...certainly not
It seems that the enemy made full use of the time, place, and people, and set up an almost perfect trap. If it were not for the dragon knights participating in the battle, these three thousand-man teams would be lucky to return 1,000 people. As you can imagine, the enemy's wild eagle knights
If the pursuer is killed in the air, then it is not a retreat but a rout.
The five major A-level mercenary groups include the only S-level mercenary group. Each mercenary group has its own unique mounts. Moreover, these mounts are suitable for entering the frozen continent in different places. Any mercenary group can
There is no need to contend with the Silver Snow Wolf Mercenary Group. Not even the disappeared S-Class Golden Dragon Mercenary Group. Likewise, entering the hilly areas is the world of the original Xuanqing Earthly Dragon Mercenary Group. Rivers and lake areas,
That is the territory of another legendary mercenary group. This mercenary group has powerful mounts like the giant crocodile. On the prairie, the Sweat and Blood Mercenary Group is the undisputed overlord. There is even a main force of a thousand-man team with 400 horses.
A horse that travels thousands of miles every day. Unexpectedly, the characteristic mount of the small mercenary group that became famous the latest is the Crazy Eagle. It has some advantages. When it reaches a certain level, it will be difficult to imitate it. Other mercenaries
The corps can also purchase and breed vultures, and eventually have a certain number of flying troops. However, it is difficult to reach the size of the small mercenary group in terms of number. What's more, what's more terrible is that the small mercenary group now has quite a few
The Vulture Knight is a forest elf who can communicate with animals, which cannot be imitated at all. Even if we can create a combat-effective force of the Vulture Knight, what will happen? He is really regarded as a thorn in the side of the small mercenary group. Once the two sides go to war,
In the event of an outbreak, this unit must be the first to be eliminated. Such a thing has not been done by any mercenary group before.
A few months ago, the Xuanqing Earthly Dragon and Golden Dragon mercenary groups were officially expelled from the mercenary guild at the same time - the mercenary guild is still in the hands of a few mercenary kings. Of course they will not show mercy, and the mercenaries
Once a regiment is officially established by a certain country, its status as a mercenary regiment must also be cancelled.
Huh... Han Han smiled bitterly. The continents are in conflict, the countries are in conflict, and now, the major mercenary groups are also in conflict. Hehe... the two major mercenary groups that had a grudge against the small mercenary group before
They all disappeared. I don’t know if the fate of the Sweat-blooded Cavalry will be the same.
Of course, Iron Hand Banjiang knew the meaning of his deputy's wry smile, and patted his shoulder gently: "Defend the city, anyway, the mission given to us by His Majesty the Pope this time does not stop there. Also, urge the archer Qian again
Team, they must arrive before tomorrow afternoon!"
Prior to this, the Sweat Blood Mercenary Group took advantage of the geographical location and within two years finally had a prairie elf archer camp that was unique among all forces. Prairie elves are generally 10 centimeters taller than forest elves, and the average height of male residents is 175-178cm.
The bows they use are the longest among known archers, with an average length between 150 and 170cm. In terms of bow power alone, the prairie elves and the forest elves are evenly matched in terms of range.
What deserves everyone's attention is that the prairie elves are natural masters of wind magic. With the help of the wind elves, the magic arrows they shoot are like having wings, far exceeding those of ordinary forest elves.
In terms of defending the city, there is no profession more suitable than the prairie elves. If this army really plays its role 100%, then even if Chi Aotian coerces 100,000 residents to attack the city, he will definitely return with hatred. But
, the elves are all kind-hearted spokespersons. Facing tens of thousands of crying and unarmed civilians and even white-haired old men and stool-high children, the two leaders are skeptical about whether these elves will give full play to their true abilities.
Be skeptical.
Just when the leaders of the Sweat Blood Mercenary Group were sighing, Chi Aotian had asked Qingluo to notify Su Wen and Tayang to withdraw the team as soon as possible and regroup under Rhodes City at the specified time.
Summer January 2nd, Year 6 of the Magical Calendar at 4:00 pm.
The Long Snake Formation of more than 24,000 residents surrounded by the Tayan Army slowly walked into the Black Dragon Knights camp under the surveillance of the soldiers. Under Rhodes City, the circumference of the invaders' camp had exceeded 5 kilometers, and countless white
Among the mourning flags were mixed the black dragon flags, and smoke was everywhere in the camp.
The mad eagle knight in charge of the guard lowered his mount and rushed into the camp from the northwest. The two elves landed in front of Commander Chi Aotian's tent almost at the same time: "Report to Deputy Commander Chi, someone from the Imperial Military Headquarters is here to see you."
Oh, Chi Aotian is discussing the next day's siege with Tayang, Su Wen and other major officers. Is there someone from the military headquarters? Chi Aotian's face changed slightly. It couldn't be his grandfather who returned to the military headquarters to take charge of the overall situation. Listen.
After talking about a series of wars in southern Xinjiang in Huayu, send someone to intervene... Thinking of this, the young man shook his head subconsciously, it couldn't be so fast. Moreover, based on the young man's understanding of the old man, Uncle Chi Hanfeng died in the battle.
It must be a knot in the old man's heart that he can't get rid of. If the empire hadn't been under tremendous pressure, the old man might have been disbanded and returned to his fields. How could he have returned to the military?
"Please." Tayang keenly observed Chi Aotian's expression. Before that, Tayang had learned from the officers of the Black Dragon Knights that Chi Aotian's expedition did not seem to be recognized by the military leaders.
, he was not here to deprive the young man of his right to command. The old priest immediately asked people to invite Qu Jianhong, who was recovering from his injuries, and Chang Qing, who was responsible for guarding Rhodes City. Both of them were impatient. If something unexpected happened,
I think there will be a few more sharp guns to use.
Ten minutes later, the sound of birds of prey passing by was heard again, followed by the roar of beasts.
As soon as Chi Aotian and other officers walked out of the tent, they saw four fantasy beast knights falling from the sky. Among them was a colorful tiger. Among the four knights, three were wearing the standard armor of the officers of the Colorful Dragon Knights, and one person
He was actually wearing the standard uniform of the imperial staff.
The young man was slightly stunned. It seemed that people from the imperial staff had seen this person before, but... Chi Aotian didn't like to socialize, and his compliments to anyone were usually on a perfunctory level.
"Your Excellency Chi Aotian, I am here to confer the Medal of Honor to the soldiers who fought for thousands of miles in the Huayu Plain." The young knight of the fantasy beast jumped off the back of the tiger, despite the fatigue on his face from the journey.
It is dusty in color, but the young man's clothes are extremely neat.
"Oh, your Excellency is..."
"We have met, Executive Director of the Ministry of Personnel Affairs, Ming Yang." The young man showed a kind smile.
Chi Aotian had the impression that in the bloody night of the imperial capital, this young man was also one of the important ministers who accompanied the emperor's escape. At that time, he seemed to be a second-level minister. Now judging from his clothes, he has been promoted to a first-level minister. Chi Aotian felt relieved.
He took a breath and said, "Thank you, sir. It's been a hard journey."
"His Majesty the Red Stone Emperor has a decree." Ming Yang, who has been awarded the title of Earl of the Empire, raised his hand and showed the tiger talisman issued by the Imperial Military Department. Blue magic light danced on the tiger talisman. The CEO's face was serious, with a peaceful and persevering flower language.
A sound was heard in the Black Dragon Knights camp: "Black Dragon Knights, officers and men of the small mercenary group, since the winter expedition in the fifth year of the Magic Calendar, you have been well-marshaled, and the soldiers have been loyal to their lives. They are invincible in battles, invincible in every attack, and loyal to the national calamity. After the imperial army
After the Ministry's assessment, His Excellency Chi Aotian was promoted to deputy commander of the small mercenary regiment and concurrently served as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Huayu Plains Expeditionary Force. He actually received the rank of general in the Imperial Theater. In addition, after being commended by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Chi Aotian fought bravely and passed through Xilin Island.
He has fought many major battles such as Duanbing Port and Hamburg City. He has experienced many victories and outstanding military exploits. Now, His Excellency Chi Aotian has reached the age of 20. According to the imperial official regulations, His Excellency Chi Aotian will be separated from the clan of Prince Chi Datong from now on.
, was specially promoted to the Duke of the Amy Empire, with the title: Grand Duke of Huayu. 300 miles north of Tongyun Pass, all the Grand Duke’s territory is granted. It is hereditary and will not be replaced."
There were low exclamations among the officers of the Black Dragon Knights and the small mercenary group who were gathering. Good guy, the one who came up was the Grand Duke with the rank of Imperial General and hereditary insignificance. It seems that His Majesty the Red Stone Emperor, the Imperial Army
The Ministry of Civil Affairs' evaluation of this expedition was quite high.
In the history of the empire, if a family wants to obtain the hereditary and irreplaceable title of Grand Duke, without the struggle of several generations of family heads, many of their children may need to die in battle. Otherwise, there is no need to think about it. Among the imperial titles, the worst
It is a lifelong title. Once the person who obtains the title dies, except for the eldest son, who can also continue the lowest noble title such as Imperial Knight, all other descendants become commoners. The second is a hereditary title. Except for the first generation of successors, it will be passed down to each generation in the future.
Downgraded one level, even if it is a title like Grand Duke, after five generations, if the descendants do not make outstanding contributions, they will definitely become Imperial Knights. The highest level of title is a hereditary and non-replaceable title, which will be directly inherited by future generations.
There are no more than 20 aristocrats above the Marquis level in the Amy Empire who can be hereditary. Including the prince title currently owned by Marshal Chi Datong, it can only be passed down to Marshal Chi Hantong. Starting from Chi Changyun, he will no longer enjoy the title of prince.
It can only be Grand Duke Tongyun who has been in Chimen for five hundred years.
The officers of the Black Dragon Knights are very clear that this is also the first hereditary and irreplaceable grand duke in the branch of Chimen in the past five hundred years. This means that from this day on, Chi Aotian will be in the empire recorded in the imperial official department.
In the list of nobles, he will be on an equal footing with his grandfather. At the noble events held in the future by the empire, Chi Aotian will attend as the head of the Grand Duke's family. This status is not even possessed by the current Chi Hantong. With a 300-mile fiefdom,
This is the distance between north and south, not the distance between east and west. The area of this fiefdom may exceed that of Tongyun Pass of Chimen fiefdom. Judging from the territorial area, the fifth largest aristocratic family may appear in the empire from now on.
Earl Mingyang paused for a moment: "In the territory of His Excellency the Grand Duke, you can establish 3,000 direct guards, build three cities, and can ennoble three counts, 12 viscounts, and 20 lords on your own to assist in the management of the territory." The shocked look appeared again.
appeared on the faces of the officers. The Tongyunchi family now has a total of five subordinate cities, of which two smaller ones are barely larger than the town. They only have one title directly subordinate to the Marquis of Tongyun, 5 viscounts, and 15 lords.
Around. Immediately, everyone understood the appointment of the official department. Chi Aotian did not have any heirs yet. These titles should have been prepared by the official department for the subordinates of the expeditionary army. This means that in the territory of the Grand Duke of Huayu, these titles will be able to be used by the officials.
Granted from generation to generation, these titles may even have fiefs, which indirectly enjoys hereditary rights.
"According to the assessment by the Imperial Staff, His Excellency Qu Jianhong, Captain of the Imperial Noble Black Dragon Knights, was separated from the Qu family of the original family and promoted to Imperial Earl, and is hereditary. Other appointments are directly appointed by the Grand Duke Huayu. The Imperial Military Department has other
Order, all the officers and men of the Black Dragon Knights who join the expeditionary force will be promoted to one level, and all the mercenaries of the small mercenary group who join the expeditionary force will enjoy the treatment of the imperial guerrilla rank or above." After hearing such great good news, all the members of the expeditionary force were
The soldiers simultaneously let out bursts of joyful cheers!
Before Count Mingyang left Hamburg, he didn't know that Chi Aotian's army had begun to mobilize local people to participate in the war. He didn't know that Su Wen, a veteran soldier from the Frozen Continent, Tayang, a former priest, and others were participating in the war. Of course, he didn't know that
I know that the elf elder Qing Luo actually has the honor of being ranked 12th on the fighting spirit list, otherwise, this commendation order would have been longer.
Before the second offensive and defensive battle of Rhodes City, Earl Mingyang descended from the sky. Not only did he bring with him the title of hereditary Grand Duke, but he also spilled his red blood into the ocean filled with countless sharks, causing the water to boil immediately.
, smelling the smell of blood, the shark viciously exposed its sharp inverted teeth to Rhode City.
