Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 130 The Great War
Charles held his chin with his left hand, pretended to be thinking, and said after a while: "My Iris Flower Infantry Regiment has thousands of friends, and it is not easy to train a few archers."

"My lord, only those who have been hunting since childhood have elite archery skills." Caudel said with some pride on his face, "The warriors in our tribe happen to be hunters who have been hunting since childhood. Their archery skills Very precise."

"Can your loyalty be guaranteed?" Charles looked at Caudel with a smile and continued, "How many of you can join the Iris Infantry?"

Caudleton was at a loss for words. If there were too many people, who would the tribe rely on for hunting, and who would protect the women and children in the tribe? If people were killed, would the earl in front of him agree?Caudleton was caught in a dilemma. The strongest warrior in the tribe, his arms were full of hard muscles, but his face was dripping with sweat.

"50 people." Sherby drew a number and said slowly: "The minimum I can accept is 50 people, but I am not a cruel person. They enjoy the same military pay, they are treated the same, and the food they get in exchange for serving as a soldier every month is much more than the food they get from hunting."

Caudle did not agree easily, hesitant, hesitant look on his face, as if he did not dare to make this decision that will determine the fate of the tribe lightly.

Charles knew that his defensive line was about to be breached, so he made a gesture of leaving. He wasn't afraid if the game collapsed, anyway, everyone was in his hands, and the other side didn't have the strength to overturn the table.

In the quiet environment, the sound of Charles' footsteps was particularly clear. As Charles gradually receded, the sound of footsteps gradually became more distant. Just as Charles opened the curtain, he wondered whether Fina and Kitty had gotten up or not. When it was time, Caudle spoke.

"My lord, I agree to your request."

"Select qualified warriors and stay in Tulip City. Someone will lead them at that time. After you go out, tell your people to be honest. Your confiscated animal fur will also be given to you. As a reward for you, I will give it to you in advance. Soldiers' wages for warriors." Charlton paused without looking back, then opened the curtain and left.

Naturally, this will not be a decision made by Charles with good intentions. Whoever is left as a soldier and who can return to the tribe are all offending people. After the military salary is paid, these gold coins are levied by Caudle in exchange Make food, or keep it on the warriors who serve as soldiers, these are all intriguing things.

Anyway, Charles has already issued an order. Today, the animal skins are exchanged for less food than last year. If they want to make trouble, they will have iris infantry to accompany them, and then find a few kind people to tell them how much food these gold coins can exchange for. Charles does not believe it. Del was unmoved.

When Shire took the iris infantry to receive them, they were still wearing tattered animal skin clothes, holding tattered wooden bows, with dissatisfaction on their faces.

"I heard that Caudel said that you are all born archers, but I don't believe it." Shire waved it, and ten Iris soldiers who were hunters came out, "They refused to accept it and wanted to compete with you. "

These savages were like a powder keg, which was ignited by Charles with a bang.These barbarians looked at Charles with humiliation and anger, as if they wanted to vent their grievances about the gold coins being robbed on Charles.

On the spacious school field, the Iris soldiers and the barbarians stood in two rows, and there was an archery target about 50 meters away.

Charles and Andrew stood watching.

"Young master, although your morale is somewhat affected, these Iris soldiers may really be no match for these barbarians who hunt all year round."

"I know, but this is exactly the result I want." Charles smiled slightly and continued, "The Iris family pays attention to clear rewards and punishments, and the Iris infantry group pays attention to strength and merit. After all, these barbarians want to Integrating into the Iris Infantry Regiment."

Just as Charles and Andrew were talking, the competition had already begun.Nothing could be more just than the whizzing of arrows and the sound of long arrows hitting a wooden target.

Suddenly, the surrounding Iris infantry exclaimed. It turned out that it was a barbarian who shot all three arrows on the same bullseye.The barbarian blushed and raised his neck proudly, but he forced a look of disdain and a piece of cake on his face.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Kasim."

"Good archery." Charles praised, then took the bow that Les had taught him to learn archery, and threw it over. "A good archer should have a good bow, and this bow is given to you."

Kasim took Shire's long bow and pulled it lightly. Although the bow did not have exquisite patterns, it was a good bow that could kill people.Kasim bent down, his face full of gratitude, "Thank you, Earl."

Charles laughed, and then scanned the audience, "It seems that the tribal warriors in the north won this competition."

As soon as Charles finished speaking, all the barbarians showed a look of pride. Charles is an earl, and they won the archers selected from thousands of people. They are not waste.The Iris soldier who participated in the competition lowered his head, and a look of humiliation flashed across his face.

"Winners should be rewarded, go and get the uniforms and military shoes of the Iris infantry, and distribute them to these warriors in the north, and make a broth for them tonight." Charles looked at the defeated Iris Hua Bubing encouraged: "Don't be discouraged if you lose, just train hard for me and win back."

"As for you Kasim, your archery skills are the best, but you cannot improve your military rank without military merits, so I appoint you as the commander of the archer battalion to command two hundred archers. Officially become the commander of the archer battalion. Besides the first time, you will also be responsible for their training."

"Thank you Earl for the appointment." Kasim knelt on one knee and said loudly.

"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank you, thank you for your superb archery. In the Iris Infantry Regiment, you have no background. Everything is based on military exploits and strength. If anyone dares to discriminate in private, then get out of the Iris Infantry Regiment. "Charles stared at the Iris Infantry and continued, "The Iris Infantry Regiment doesn't want this kind of waste. If you don't like them and feel unconvinced, then use your strength to defeat them."

"Yes, Captain Charles."

……

Destiny is always fickle, and this feeling was especially felt when Andres received the news that the town of Aton had fallen. At this time, they were stationed not far from the town of Aton.If they had come one day earlier, they would have been able to flank the soldiers defending the city and defeat the army of the Principality of Luma.But now that the town of Aden has fallen into the hands of the Luma Principality's army, their situation is now somewhat passive.

"Your Highness, what shall we do next?" Cavalier Gaius walked up to Andres.

"Tell General Meli Guise that we will be stationed here next, and I want to see if the king of the Principality of Luma has the guts to fight in the field." Andres glanced at the direction of the small town of Aton and continued, "Matia led [-] soldiers, and with a small town, they were able to block the Luma Principality's [-] army for four days. It is clear how powerful these serf soldiers are."

Andres clenched his fist and hammered it on the table, "I want to defeat the army of the Principality of Luma head-on. The new king of the Principality of Luma I want to fight will no longer have the courage to invade the Principality of Artem."

"Follow your order, Your Highness." Gaius bent down and replied, but a moment of hesitation flashed in his heart, should he tell His Highness the news of Baron Haber's disappearance?Do you want to distract His Highness when the decisive battle is about to take place?Gaius decided to hide it first, and sent someone to search for him secretly.

The town of Aton is full of traces of flames and blood, and dead bodies are everywhere. All the houses in the town of Aton have been cleared out, and the army of the Principality of Luma lived in it. Stationed outside the town.

"Your Majesty, the army of the Principality of Artem has arrived." Camilo Baines said to King Ezizil.

"But it's a pity that the town of Aden has fallen into our hands." Ezzil showed a smug face, "It seems that they are all on our side, and the victory belongs to us after all. Now Andres Where is your army?"

"Your Majesty, Andres' army is stationed not far from the town of Aton."

Ezzil had some consternation on his face, "He dared to station more than 2000 people directly in the wild, and he didn't take the army of the Principality of Luma too seriously."

Camillo Baines pouted in his heart, what other reason can you be taken as one thing?The 500-strong army was held back by a small town of [-] people for several days, and finally they were defeated by internal forces.It seems that this time it is going to be defeated, but this war can be regarded as winning and losing.

"General Rashid, I order you to straighten out the army of the Principality of Luma. Tomorrow I will meet Andres' army." Ezzil looked at Rashid and said confidently.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Rasheed bowed and obeyed.It is a good thing that the siege battle has turned into a field battle, although he no longer has any hope for this war.

This feeling intensified as he walked out of the hall.

House dust was everywhere, blood soaked the ground, women died naked outside the house, and men were nailed to death on the city wall. Before they entered the city wall for a day, these serf soldiers had already turned into wild beasts.Although Rashid has no compassion, the strength of the army lies in its strict discipline. With these serf soldiers, how can they defeat the well-trained soldiers of the Principality of Artem.

However, this war did not shift according to his will. As the general of Ezzil and a supporter of the Asiri family's throne, he had no choice but to obey Ezzir.

So he tried his best to complete his task. He let the serf soldiers wandering in the small town of Aton roll from place to place. After a day of hard work, the army of the Principality of Luma finally restored some order.

The next day, a cold air suddenly came from the originally warm spring day, revealing the chill atmosphere only in autumn.Edziel led the army slowly towards Andres' army.

Andres didn't stay in the camp, and the two of them chose a place with a wide view and flat land as the battle site with a tacit understanding.

The spring breeze picked up, the sun in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the sky gradually darkened.

The distance between the two sides was about a thousand miles, and the two sides began to adjust their formation. After a while, Andres' army had been adjusted. In front were tall and strong warriors in armor. Their weapons were sharp iron spears.

The Luma Principality's army was still as noisy as a vegetable market, and the soldiers hadn't found their place yet.Although the field is wide enough, there are still not enough places to put all the soldiers on it.Because 6000 soldiers were used as the central army to face Andres' army, the remaining more than [-] soldiers were divided into two catties on the left and rear.

The war began, and a fierce drum sounded, like thunder on the flat ground.The sound of Andres' army marching neatly, and the sound of armor pages colliding during the march.

"Raise the spears in the third row in front a little higher." Ezziel rode a white horse across the battlefield, guiding the soldiers. This was his first real frontal battle.

"The soldiers in the fourth row on the left take a step back." After some investigation, he knew that the Luma Principality's army was very neat and looked very elite.

Andres' army came close.The neat front line and the sharp spears pointed straight at the army of the Principality of Luma.

"The people in front hold back, and then retreat slowly, gradually bringing in the army of the Principality of Artem, and the soldiers on both sides must press forward and surround Andres' army." Ezziel ordered again .

The two sides fought hand to hand, just like Ezil, the Chinese army soon couldn't hold on and began to retreat step by step.The infantrymen of the Principality of Artem, who have been training off-duty, showed their professionalism in the face of the serf soldiers who had just put down their farm tools.The sharp spear pierced fiercely into the body of the serf soldier, and the soldiers in the second row moved forward brandishing their machetes.When the spearmen in the first row tore a hole for them, the spearmen rushed into the enemy's formation fiercely, slashing wantonly.

Some serf soldiers from the Principality of Luma showed a fierce look on their faces. They took wooden spears and poked at the soldiers of the Principality of Atum.Some serf soldiers looked at the blood-stained spears, and suddenly lost their courage, and ran back scrambling.

"The Chinese army will stand up, the victory of the Luma Principality depends on you, and the glory of the Luma Principality needs you to protect it." Ezzil shouted loudly, trying to arouse the fighting spirit of the serf soldiers.

But the development of the matter was beyond Edziel's expectation. The army led by Andres did not intend to defend against the attacks from both sides at all, and they directly marched in the direction of the central army.
