My name is Ren

Chapter 54 War has never been a romantic game, death is the main theme
Xiliu City is a good place.

There is a river next to Xiliu City. The reason why it is called Xiliu City is that this river runs in the northwest. The Xiudorn River rushes down from the northernmost ice sheet, stretches along the imperial capital to the province of Bell, and crosses the The entire Orlando Empire.From Xiliu City to the west, it diverges into two rivers, one goes directly to the south and connects to the ocean, and the other continues along the inland to enter another country.

The wide part of the river is hundreds of meters, and the narrow part is 50 to [-] meters. Water transportation is extremely developed.At the beginning, the Boer family took advantage of the escort, and in front of Orlando I, poked their fingers on the location of Xiliu City marked on the map, thus the name of the Boer family of Xiliu City was born for hundreds of years.

In addition to the extremely developed water transportation, the land on both sides of the river is also extremely fertile due to the natural irrigation of the river. It can reach the level of high-quality farmland with almost no need for artificial irrigation.The plankton and various dead fish deposited in the river turned into natural fertilizers, increasing the soil fertility on both sides of the river.Every spring and late summer, there is no need for human labor to take care of these fields. You can wait for a good harvest just by sowing a handful of seeds. In the spare time, people in Xiliu City will help on the docks to earn some extra money.

This is a good place for everyone to covet. If it weren't for the knights and shield guards, as well as the indestructible golden body of the Ball family for more than 300 years, it might have been united and beat Sap, and it would have become a joke. The protagonist in .

When Bowen heard about Xiliu City, even though he didn't want to show his inner state, he still subconsciously moved.He put away Erlang's legs first, and then straightened his upper body slightly. The keen Salcomo caught this insignificant change at the first time.

"Xiliu City...!" Bowen pursed his lips and let out a long sigh, "Ziliu City!"

In fact, all the nobles in Milin are paying attention to the battle between Terman and Rennes. The reason why many people are not optimistic about Rennes is because of Ortrenburg itself.For the untouchables in a city, the nobles can't see what is under their feet with a slightly distant gaze. In their inherent concept, the untouchables will never have the courage to brandish weapons against the nobles and the privileged class.So before today, they were more optimistic about Terman. As long as the five hundred knights opened the city gate, everything would be over.

However, the eyes of all the nobles who received the battle report dropped all over the place, not to mention breaking the door, Luosi's love general was almost broken in front of the gate of Ortrenburg.No one expected that the only servant that Ren brought with him in Bell Province would be promoted to level six without making any noise.If he had known this news in advance, maybe Terman would send more advanced combat forces to tear up the defense line of Ortrenburg. It is impossible to send only Luos and the barbarian from the northern grassland to attack Ortrenburg.

Everyone took it for granted that this was evidence of Ryan's insidiousness and cunning.Whenever there is a knight who breaks through the shackles of fighting spirit and successfully upgrades to a titled knight, which one doesn't go to the Knights Guild for certification immediately, and transforms into a privileged class or even aristocrat of the empire.Who would hide in the countryside without any movement? Isn't this a scam?
Bowen's willingness to meet Salcomo is also based on the fact that Terman lost the first battle.If Terman had won, Bowen would have sent Salcomo out.

Looking at Salcomo who was smiling very sincerely, Bowen still couldn't resist the temptation, took out a pipe from his pocket, opened the drawer under the coffee table, took out a small piece of broken tobacco brick and stuffed it into the pipe slot, Lighting up, he took a silent breath.The curling green smoke blurred Bowen's expression, he thought for a moment, "You only have one chance to convince me."

Sarcomo frowned, and immediately said: "Tomorrow, Baron Wren will take the initiative to attack in the wild to defeat or even eliminate the knights led by Luosi."

In just one sentence, there is a lot of information.

First of all, Ren can confirm that he can defeat Terman's five hundred knights [-]%, otherwise he will not take the initiative to attack.Secondly, Ryan does not intend to reconcile with Terman. If he wants to reconcile, he does not need to tear himself apart with Terman. Sitting down and negotiating is the right choice.In the end, Rennes was sending a message to Milin and the nobles in the entire Bell Province. He is not easy to mess with. If you don't use all your strength, don't expect him to compromise.

In addition, Rennes conveyed this information to Bowen through Sarcomo, which has a deeper meaning, which is to challenge the inherent order of the noble class in Bell Province. He wants to reshuffle all forces!
It is undeniable that Bowen was tempted, and he was tempted based on the fact that Rennes could defeat Terman's five hundred knights.Once Luos was annihilated or captured, it was equivalent to cutting off an arm of the Boer family.

Terman, who was severely slapped in the face, will be forced into a dilemma. If he continues to fight Rennes, it will inevitably make Xiliu City's defense force empty.If he doesn't hit Rennes, he will lose face and make some forces and nobles want to move.Therefore, he had to decide the outcome with Rennes. He had to win beautifully while preserving his strength.

how to solve this problem?

Bowen put himself in Terman's position, his brain began to boil, and in a flash of thought, a flash of inspiration disappeared, borrow soldiers!

Yes, it is borrowing troops.

Isn't he rich? Didn't he say every day that the Boer family has a deep heritage?He always talked about the history of the Bohr family far exceeding the history of the Orlando Empire. When facing difficulties, spending money to find mercenaries and allies is the simplest solution.

Bowen felt that this might be the simplest and most effective way for Terman to solve the current predicament, but if these mercenaries and the borrowed troops were not of one mind with him...

Bowen's heart throbbed for a while, he felt the cold wind whistling in the warm room, and for a moment he felt that all this was an illusion.

He looked directly at Salcomo, with countless thoughts churning, hesitating for a long time, and then heaved a sigh of relief, "My second son is very interested in business."

The corners of Salcomo's mouth curled up more and more, "You know, recently we organized seven business groups to specialize in seven exclusive products, and there is still a shortage of one spot for the seven types of Dragon Island smoke bricks."

Bowen nodded in satisfaction and said, "I've accepted the things. You still have a lot to do. Let's talk next time we have a chance."

Walking out of the Earl's Mansion, Milin's night became deeper and more peaceful.The crazy crowd on the street has dispersed, leaving only the deserted street, waiting for the dawn alone.

Salcomo wrapped the clothes around his body, got into the carriage, rubbed his hands, "Go to Viscount Xiu En's mansion!"

In the quiet night, the sound of jingling carriages gradually faded away.

Bowen, who was standing behind the window on the second floor of the Earl's Mansion, watched the carriage gradually disappear from sight, and he lowered the curtains.

The pattern of Bell Province is about to undergo a huge change!

That night, many people tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

The sky gradually brightened, and on the main road of Ortrenburg, three hundred knights were ready to go, and nearly two thousand infantrymen were as imposing as a dragon.The weather is getting colder and colder, and the hot air from everyone's nostrils is like sharp swords, piercing the cold air.Their eyes were bright and firm. Everyone clenched their weapons and looked at Ren standing on the city gate.

"Today, many people will stay outside the city forever." Ren didn't say anything about being invincible, nor did he use a passionate speech to encourage everyone to be fearless of sacrifice.His flat tone narrated a cold fact that war kills people.The flames hidden in the eyes almost burst out, and they were not frightened.

"I will not tell you what glory you will get after death, what kind of heaven you will go to. A person has only one life, and it is gone after death. Those glory and beliefs have nothing to do with the dead. Some people will ask, since this is the case , so what is the meaning of death?" Ren's tone gradually increased, and he said loudly in a firm and affirmative tone: "Yes, those deaths are meaningful. You take away despair and give life to the living. To leave hope and the future behind, that's what it means to die."

"I won't say what the possible deaths of some of you will do for this city, I can only tell you that those possible deaths left your families with a fortune, yes, a fortune Wealth!", Ren grabbed a handful of gold coins from the box under his feet, the golden luster stung the eyes of these people's longing, "Look, gold coins! Every soldier who died in battle, I will give you the greatest respect for life. The pension is five gold coins, and during my tenure, the families of the soldiers who died in battle will be tax-free."

"And those who are alive, please remember. Without sacrifice, your life is meaningless."

"Crush them!" Ren raised his right fist.

Under the city gate, there are swords and soldiers like forests.

Ren looked at Blair and nodded slightly, waved his hand, "Let's go!"

The heavy portcullis slowly rose, and three hundred knights swarmed out, followed by two thousand infantry.They have nothing to worry about, the huge sum of five gold coins is enough to bring about earth-shaking changes for the family behind them, brothers and sisters who can't eat enough can fill their stomachs with a smile, poor and poor parents, this winter, next winter, next winter Every winter, you will get enough supplies to survive the cold winter.

Those who are lucky enough to survive will also receive great benefits.

They have nothing, but at least they have hope.

cruel hope!
