king of the castle

Chapter 478

Roger's words startled the elves, and several elves turned their heads away from Murphy's broken body. 【】To tell the truth, there are several elves who don't want to fight for humans, but they have to stay because of their vows.Originally, Luo Jie let Murphy leave so easily, and they were also a little moved, thinking about whether they should also propose to leave.Before he could say anything, Murphy was thrown to death because of the griffin's sudden madness.

It had never been heard that a tamed griffin would suddenly go berserk, which made the elves have to believe that Murphy must have been cursed by the gods.This made the other elves give up all other thoughts, and decided to stay and help Roger win the war.

Xiao Mian, if you dare to be half-hearted, you won’t be able to cure you.

Seeing the obedient look of the elves, Roger couldn't help but feel a little proud.The griffins were right to listen to the griffin knights, but they were all bred in the taming farm, so Roger had to order them to obey the elves first.As long as Roger moves his mind, he can make the griffin regard the knight on his back as an enemy, and it takes every second to kill a griffin knight who doesn't obey orders.

But of course the elves can't let the elves come out of this mystery. Roger quickly said to them with a sincere look: "Murphy is to blame for this, so don't think too much about it. The most important thing now is that we have to be united." , beat back the army of Thorne kingdom. Think about it, if Kent is occupied by the kingdom, there will be a new lord to rule here. At that time, will the new lord live in peace with the elves like me, or will he use Do everything possible to suppress you? So you are not only fighting to help me, but also fighting for your own tribe."

Roger's words made all the elves show thoughtful expressions.The elves all knew that what he said was right. If a new lord was replaced, not only would he not get along with the elves in harmony, but he might also use Kent Town as the base of the slave hunting team and send a large number of people into the Green Sea Forest to capture the elves for profit. .Thinking of this, the elves have made up their minds, they must stand firmly on Roger's side and attack the invading king team.

As soon as the elves looked on, Roger knew that his words had worked, so he didn't say anything more, and left the taming ground directly.I believe that as long as the elves understand this section, the Griffon Knights will also become a reliable fighting force in the next battle.

After Roger left the animal training ground, he found that the nobles had been hung on the city gate, swaying with the strong wind.Roger's thunderous tactics against these guys also made other nobles understand that the result of messing around in his territory is death.So all of a sudden, the complaints of the nobles disappeared, and they lived honestly in the tents set up by the castle like the common people.

Roger was not an unreasonable person. In return for these nobles to be honest, he also set aside a few rooms from the tavern for the wives, daughters and underage children of the nobles to live in.Roger's behavior has also won the favor of many nobles. They feel that although the earl is merciless in suppressing troublemakers, he is not completely unreasonable. As long as he follows his rules, he will always get some benefits. .

Under Roger's iron-handed suppression, the unstable factors of both the nobles and the elves were resolved, and then he could concentrate on dealing with the invading enemies.

Under the strict surveillance of the empty hippogryph, a large number of troops resisted outside the town of Kent in the early morning of the next day.These menacing troops obviously did not expect that there would be such a majestic and strong castle next to the very easy-to-take town of Kent, and they seemed a little at a loss for a while.

The first batch of enemy troops to arrive was about 3 people, and they were the king's team who came from the nearest border area stationed in the Golden Wilderness.According to the original plan of the army commander, Earl Sutil, he would launch an attack immediately after the army arrived in Kent, and take down the town before the arrival of His Majesty the King, so as to show a good performance in front of Alonso III.

Who would have thought that the small town that was thought to be very easy to capture turned into a castle, which surprised Sutil and did not dare to act rashly, as long as he ordered the soldiers to set up camp on the spot to surround the castle and Kent town, and then divide some soldiers Go to the Green Sea Forest in the south to log and manufacture siege equipment, and start preparations for attacking the castle.

Although Roger sticks to the castle, he still has a clear grasp of the enemy's movements through the Hippogryph.Sutil is worthy of being a seasoned military commander. Although the sudden appearance of the castle was beyond his expectation, the following series of arrangements are quite standard.Although there is no particularly brilliant aspect, it is also completely in line with military common sense.

In particular, Sutil's decision to restrain the soldiers from entering the town of Kent, which seemed to have been abandoned, made Roger appreciate this opponent a little more.There are not many commanders with such a clear mind, and there are very few troops with such strict military discipline.This made Roger regard Sutil's army as one of his formidable enemies, and secretly reminded himself to pay special attention to this army during the war.

In fact, Roger's idea is not unfounded.Sutil is indeed the most famous general in the kingdom, and the army under his command is also the army with the strongest combat effectiveness.It is precisely because of this that Sutil's legion was sent to garrison the northern border.You must know that for the Thorne Kingdom, the Golden Wasteland, like the Lington Pass, is a very important strategic location. Where will the troops that can be sent there be sent?

In fact, if the kingdom's army had such a strong combat power as Sutil's army, then this battle would be difficult for Roger.However, the quality of the king's team is uneven, and the army that can reach the level of Sutil's army is very limited. This is naturally a bit bad for Alonso III, but it is very good news for Roger.

On the second day after Sutil's army arrived, some noble private troops arrived one after another.Compared with the kingdom's standing army, these armies are far behind in terms of equipment, morale, and discipline, not to mention their combat effectiveness.

After the private soldiers of the nobles arrived, although they were also shocked by Roger's majestic castle, their reaction was dumbfounding.Instead of assisting Sutil's army to encircle the castle, these soldiers clashed with the troops besieging Kent Town.

The reason for the conflict between the two sides is also very simple. The private soldiers of the nobles came to Kent Town and seemed to be intact, so they wanted to enter the town to plunder the spoils.But the soldiers of Sutil's Legion who surrounded the town did not let them in at all. One side wanted to enter and the other stopped them. Neither side could persuade the other, so the conflict was inevitable.

The private soldiers of the aristocrats have long heard how prosperous and rich Kent Town is, and they have long held back their energy and wanted to make a lot of money. Now they are blocked by their own people, and they all curse and say that the soldiers of the Sutil Legion hinder them from making a fortune.The aristocratic private soldiers had lax military discipline, and even started to fight after scolding too much.

Sutil's army is the first-class regular army in the kingdom, and they can't afford these noble private soldiers at all. Seeing that the other party dared to make a move, they naturally launched a counterattack immediately.How can noble private soldiers be the opponent of the kingdom's elite army?After a conflict, they were beaten to pieces, and more than a dozen lives were lost.

Roger summoned the castle to a place very close to the town of Kent. Standing on the city wall, he saw the scene clearly, and couldn't help laughing: "These guys are not monolithic, it's a pity that too few people died Well, it would be great if the two sides could fight each other, what a pity..."

Roger entered the play mode in the castle, and the noble private soldiers were not as leisurely as he was.After being beaten up by Sutil's army, these guys went to cry to their masters.The nobles who brought their private soldiers were immediately unhappy when they heard that Sutil's army prevented their men from entering the town.You must know that half of the spoils of the noble private soldiers have to be handed over to the nobles. The Sutil Legion not only prevented the noble private soldiers from getting rich, but also blocked these nobles' money.

So many nobles went to Sutil to argue, but they were all blocked by this tough general.During the dispute between the two sides, more and more nobles with private soldiers arrived, and then joined the ranks of denouncing Sutil, asking him to let his men enter Kent Town to plunder.

Since these nobles can bring private soldiers to assist Alonso III in fighting, they naturally have some influence.Every day, more than a dozen earls, viscounts, barons and the like quarreled around Sutil, all wanting him to lift the ban on entering Kent Town.If it weren't for the extremely strong fighting power of Sutil's army, these nobles would have sent people to rush in if they knew that their men could not beat the opponent.

However, Sutil, as one of the most famous generals of the king's team, needless to say that he has a strong will.Although nobles came to him every day to ask him to let him go, Sutil still insisted on his previous decision, and at the same time directed the army to step up the construction of siege equipment, striving to launch an attack as soon as possible.

The Sutil Legion remained in a stalemate for a few days like this among the private nobles, but the situation finally changed after Alonso III arrived with the army.Knowing that the king had arrived, those nobles immediately went to complain to Alonso III, asking him to order Sutil to lift the blockade of Kent town.

Kent Town, which has been visibly empty since Alonso III, isn't worth anything.In order to buy the hearts of these nobles, he personally ordered Sutil to let him let the nobles' private soldiers into the town.

Seeing that even the king had spoken, Sutil naturally couldn't continue, so he had to lift the blockade of Kent Town.Those aristocrats who had been impatient for a long time rushed into Kent town impatiently, just wanting to grab the most property before others.

Everyone had such a plan, and over ten thousand aristocratic private soldiers rushed into Kent Town in a short time.There are even many knights under the nobles who also participated in the rumor that Kent Town is very rich, who would have trouble with money?

Roger got the news immediately, and immediately rushed to the ballista platform to look at Kent Town. Sure enough, the entire Kent Town was almost occupied by enemy soldiers, and he couldn't help showing a smug smile.
