Lord Harland

Chapter 65 Defense of Fort Vic I
King Charles listened to the opinions of the two sides, and after weighing the pros and cons, he decided not to send the main army to reinforce northern Xinjiang and provoke a bigger war.

Instead, part of the territory directly under the royal family's northern border was divided, and Roger Grant was made a hereditary earl, and Roger Grant was asked to lead the Warcraft Cavalry Regiment under his command to stabilize the situation in northern border.

The nobles of the royal family and court are degraded to the rank of nobility.

Even the Duke of the palace will be an ordinary person after five generations.

Every court noble dreams of becoming a hereditary noble.

It is a pity that the Grant royal family did not divide the territory on a large scale except when the country was founded.

The territory directly under the royal family is rarely divided to other people.

If you want to become a hereditary nobleman, the biggest opportunity is in the northern border.

Without a strong ability and a large amount of gold coins to support it, it is impossible to gain a firm foothold in northern Xinjiang.

In the values ​​​​of Chenxi Continent, the status of the hereditary earl is actually somewhat nobler than that of the court duke.

A hereditary earl is the master of the territory, a great nobleman of a kingdom, and an important part of the country.

The Duke of the court was a little bit resigned.

If the king does not trust, the court duke will sound nicer, but in fact may not be able to hold much power.

"Roger, you have withdrawn all your annuities from the royal family, a total of 32 gold coins, which is your capital for developing the territory.

In addition, your territory includes three towns and a castle, with a total of 1 people.

After the war is over, the [-] slaves in the slave camp can be allocated to you to let you develop your territory.

In addition, the cavalry regiment under your command has also been transferred to you to allow you to gain a firm foothold in northern Xinjiang.

The cavalry under your command can only stay in northern Xinjiang for five years. After five years, you can only rely on your own strength to defend the territory.

When you go to northern Xinjiang this time, don't fight too hard in commanding the Warcraft Cavalry Regiment. "

When Luo Jie left, King Charles gave a few words of advice.

Entering mid-April, Roger brought this powerful monster cavalry regiment to the northern battlefield.

The Demonic Beast Cavalry Regiment appeared on the battlefield and immediately restored the balance of the battle situation.

Chenxi Calendar 3255, April [-]th.

Through the misty morning mist, Sophia Stopa could vaguely see the orc flag flying in the distance.

After the orcs invaded, Richard sent cavalry to her every day to report the situation near Fort William.

Communication was cut off yesterday.

There was a problem with the communication, Sophia reacted very quickly, immediately fortified the wall and cleared the field, and brought the slaves to the castle.

The Barony of Stopa was breached by the orcs last time, and the people in the baron finally became Baron Harden's trophy.

Now the Stopa territory is very empty, and the more than 2000 slaves purchased by Sophia are basically placed near Vickburg.

Sophia looked at the orc banner from a distance, and thought to herself: "It seems that the main force of this orc army is the wild boar. It is rumored that the wild boar are cruel and stupid, and maybe we can seize this weakness to attack the wild boar. The most important thing is Request reinforcements from nearby lords.

Baron Harden has a feud with my family, so he may not be willing to send reinforcements.There is a lot of pressure on Li Cha, and it may not be possible to draw out many people.The most promising person to send reinforcements is Baron Dirham. "

Sophia's brains turned very fast, and before the orcs besieged the city, she immediately sent some cavalry to ask for help from the three nearby baronial territories.

Even if there was a grudge against Baron Harden, she never forgot to send someone for help.

At this time, even if it is a life-saving straw, Sophia must try her best to grasp it.Whether reinforcements can come or not is related to the lives of everyone in Fort Vic.

"Uncle Vito, raise the flag of the Stopa family.

We, the Stopa family, can lose the castle and sacrifice their lives, but we cannot lose our fighting spirit, let alone the courage to face the orcs.

All the citizens of my Baron Stopa, as long as they participated in this year's battle, they can become free citizens of the territory after the war.

We installed a powerful trebuchet on Vic Castle, and today, under Vic Castle, the brutal and rude orcs were beaten to death.

Victory will belong to the Stopa family, and it will belong to us!

Soldiers, fight for glory! "

"As you order, my lord baron."

Although Vito is Sophia's uncle, he is also a qualified military officer.Seeing that Sophia boosted morale, he immediately sent an order to the soldiers behind him.

"The baron has an order to raise the flag and prepare for battle."

Sophia turned her head slightly and saw a flag rising slowly.

The gray flag unfolded with the wind, and the off-white pattern looked solemn.

A portrait of an old warrior is in the middle, flanked by crossed spears.

It was the coat of arms of House Stoppar, the flag of the domain, and the standard of the soldiers of Vickburg.

It was this brave and wise old man who changed the identity of the Stopa family and made future generations respectable nobles.

He was the founder of the Stoppard family and the creator of Vic Castle.

After receiving the news of the orc invasion, Sophia took decisive measures.Although there was a huge wave in his heart, he was very calm on the surface.

She is from northern Xinjiang and has seen several wars when she was a child.

When I was 11 years old, I even saw with my own eyes how the orc soldiers ate a leader alive?
Children who grow up in this environment have a strong ability to withstand war.

The soldiers in northern Xinjiang are good at fighting, and they have almost become the label of Grant Kingdom.

But no one knows what price the civilians in northern Xinjiang have paid over the years?
How the people here yearn for peace.

It's a pity that the special geography keeps northern Xinjiang at war all the year round.

Unless the main force of the Orc Empire can be defeated, the territory will be expanded, and the territory will be managed to the north, making this a hinterland. Only then will peace be ushered in at the southern foot of the Eagle Mountain Range.

Sophia's composure gave many soldiers a lot of confidence.

The Territory of Stopa was severely damaged and its strength was very weak.

Even if the members of the Stopa family tried their best, Sophia only had more than 1 gold coins, and there was not much left after buying slaves.

Due to insufficient funds, the Stopa Territory has only trained a squadron of soldiers in the past two years.

The military strength of the territory today is not even comparable to that of the old baron.

If it weren't for the construction of six heavy trebuchets, Sophia would not have much confidence in holding on to the territory.

Although successive barons have continuously strengthened the city's defenses, Vickburg is not considered a strong city.

The highest point of the city wall is 13 meters, and the lowest point is only [-] meters.

It's okay to deal with ordinary orcs, but if you encounter orcs like snake-bodied people who are good at climbing, you can climb the city wall in no time.

Seeing that the orc army began to move slowly, the soldiers of the two newly formed squadrons were already trembling.

Sophia waved her hands and said: "The orcs are very cruel and dirty creatures, especially the wild boars. After they break through the castle, what they like most is to eat people. In order to prevent our wives and children from becoming food, we can only fight desperately." .

Even if you bite them with your teeth, you have to bite them to death.Only by making the orcs feel the pain can we have peace.

I am a noble baron, or a beautiful woman, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of? "
