When leaving the village chief’s house, Alan heard one of the village chiefs whispering: “Why are there wars? Isn’t it enough to give them a sum of money in previous years? Let’s do it now, here we are. They are all on the front line."

When the man finished speaking, he heard Alan hum in front of him, and immediately closed his mouth obediently.

A temporary camp is being built. The villagers and soldiers are working together. At sunset, the camp has an outline. Allen and others stayed outside the village and set up tents for the night. The village chief ordered people to bring food and invited Allen to rest at his home, but was declined.

Sent away the village chief, eating bread made of whole grains and drinking water, it is a dinner. After eating, Allen took a map and spread it out. The map marked the territory of Viscount Daniel with a unicorn pattern. This Viscount collar took over the beautiful Emerald Mountains, the beautiful Port Tilly Lake, and the mineral deposits. Rich Xiayun Valley. The territory of the Earl of Aubin is bounded by a river, with clear barriers.

From the map, Daniel's territory is not much smaller than the Earl of Aubin. Moreover, in terms of resources, Auban has the advantage of having an Ark port, but it is still inadequate than Daniel in other aspects. Daniel's territory is rich in timber, iron, and copper deposits, all of which are important resources for energy and warfare. Many of the wood needed by the shipyards in Ark Harbor are still purchased from Daniel. From this alone, it is not difficult to see that the Earl of Auban is not very comfortable.

Remembering what the village chief said during the day, Allen shook his head. Daniel is a wolf, and Oban is a docile sheep, so leading the people has no will to fight, and even weak compromises are normal.

That is the instinct of a sheep, but Alan is not a sheep, so his gaze crossed the boundary of that territory, passed a mountain, and finally landed on the Xiayun Valley. Xiayun Valley is only 20 kilometers away from the earl. Outside this valley rich in copper mines is a baron’s city. The owner of Sunset City, Tomen, is one of Daniel's attachments. Among Daniel's attachments, he is not powerful. The important thing is the location of Sunset City and Xiayun Valley, which are in the middle of the two territories. This was no problem in the past, but now, it has become Allen's ideal goal.

This will be the first place he attacked. The reason why he chose this place is not only because Sunset City has several iron mines, but also because of its special location. The transportation between the Earl’s Land and the Earl’s Land is convenient, and the reinforcements can be reached quickly; and Allen can be used as a bridgehead for the invasion of Daniel’s Land. Allen stretched out a finger and drew a winding line on the map. After thinking about it, he shook his head again.

The index finger fell to the starting point of Jiehe, his gaze was dazzling, and his fingertips struck forward forcefully. Passing the fingertips, leaving a very light, but strong and straight track. Until the fingertips stopped in front of Falling Cloud City, Allen exhaled, feeling very happy.

The straight offensive trajectory coincides with his powerful sword path!

At noon the next day, Willick led the soldiers sent to him by the Earl and the war slaves privately sponsored by Roger arrived. Allen broke up the ten mountain king soldiers and incorporated them into this miscellaneous army. The mountain king fighters acted as the fulcrum of the battle. At least this miscellaneous soldier can still exert some combat effectiveness without being scattered by the enemy. Temporary camps were still being built, and soldiers gathered outside the village for training.

Allen patrolled and said: "I know that you are not willing to participate in this war, but I can't let you go. From today on, you and I are tied to the same tank. , I cannot guarantee how many of you will survive after the war. But I can guarantee that you will get a gold coin for every enemy you kill!"

The soldiers whose eyesight was blank, when they heard these words, everyone's eyes moved a little, and they couldn't help but look at Allen. Allen smiled slightly and said: "If you kill a hundred people, then you can get one thousand gold coins from me. You heard it right, it's one thousand, not one hundred, it's a full ten times the reward!" /

"Is this true? Your lord?" a soldier couldn't help asking.

Allen winked back at Willick, who took out a bag and shook it and said, "There are five hundred gold coins in it. After the training, everyone can get one from me. This is a gift from an adult. Your encouragement, I hope you can fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield! The more you kill, the more money!"

Willik roared out his last sentence. After a moment of silence on the training ground, I didn't know who roared out first, and then everyone roared like a beast. The golden coins made this group of soldiers blush, and they wanted to go to the field to kill the enemy immediately.

When leaving, Regis shook his head and said: "Is this a pre-war mobilization?"

"Isn't it?"

"Use money to mobilize, are you a businessman?"

Allen laughed and said: "Sometimes, the most direct benefits can arouse their fighting spirit. You have to know who they are, do you want to talk about their ideals?"

Reggie rolled his eyes, and went to find a place to practice the sword by himself. After the Willick sent the gold coins, he returned to the camp to meet Alan, saying: "Mr. Roger has brought the news back to Violet Harbor through the Chamber of Commerce. At most one month, our own people should be able to arrive."

Alan nodded. Before setting off, he also commissioned Roger to send a message to Sean in Violet Harbor and let his army come. That is Allen's true power. With that power, he is qualified to continue to penetrate into Daniel's territory and occupy more land. Otherwise, just relying on the miscellaneous soldiers, even if they aroused morale under the magic power of gold coins, they would not be able to compare with the first-class regular army.

Of course, when occupying a town, you can use force to conquer the local men, but such an army inevitably lacks loyalty. Therefore, a regular army of his own is the guarantee for Alan to finally reach Lake Pottery.

The temporary camp is expected to be completed in the evening. This camp is a simple wooden shed built entirely of wood, which can only provide a shelter for the soldiers, not to mention any defensive function. Originally, Alan didn't plan to stay here for a long time, so the only requirement for the camp was to be able to stay overnight. After coming out of the camp, the village chiefs brought a dozen men, Allen frowned: "This is?"

"This is the soldier you want, my lord." A village chief replied.

"Soldier...I remember that the population of the three villages totaled two to three hundred people. The number of adult males in the village is less than a hundred. So, what's the matter with these dozens of people? Or is it my order yesterday? Is it not clear enough?"

"No, you said very clearly." The village chief smiled bitterly: "But when you heard your order to enlist, most of the men ran away, so they volunteered to join your army."

Alan looked at the dozen or so men. They were between 20 and 30 years old, which was the strongest time in their lives. He nodded and said, "You have the courage and loyalty. I will not let down your trust in me, so for a while, each of you can receive ten gold coins from me to settle your family. . Later, based on your military merits, you can get more rewards from me."

The dozen or so men couldn't help showing joy, and one of them stepped forward and said: "Thank you for your generosity, my lord."

"What is your name?"

"John."

"Okay, John. Now you are their head, take them to the training first."

Allen looked at the village chiefs again and said: "I am a person with a clear reward and punishment. Since there is a reward, there will be punishment. For those who do not follow the lord's order or even run away, I will give them time to confess. In a few days, I will leave here, and I will be back soon. When I come back, if I still can’t see them, according to the law made by the earl, I think you should know what the punishment is for deserters?"

"Don’t think they can get shelter by fleeing to other jazz’s territory. Believe me, they won’t risk offending me to shelter a few civilians. Especially when I beat Sir Daniel’s territory After getting down some more." Allen patted the oldest village chief among them: "I hope you can accurately convey what I have said to those men. My kindness has a time limit."

After finishing speaking with Willick and leaving, after he left, the village chiefs smiled bitterly at each other and sighed.

In the next few days, soldiers conducted pre-war training. The rewards of gold coins, adequate training and reasonable diet made the soldiers' eyes gradually sharper. They are still inferior to the well-trained regular army, but at least in terms of morale, they are much better than when they first arrived.

As he was about to leave, Allen welcomed some special guests, some from the Jiehe River.

Allen met them in the makeshift camp.

Among these people, headed by a young nobleman, he claimed to be the nephew of Sir Thomas and a clerk in Sunset City. The young clerk was handsome, tall, with a domineering look between his eyebrows. When he walked in, he obviously showed a look of contempt for Allen, a room more like a wooden shed than an office. He even sneered and shook his head, then looked at Allen and said: "Are you the Sir Allen?"

Ellen's expression is calm, and he said lightly: "I am."

"Very well, I believe you also know who I am. I don’t talk nonsense, let’s go straight to the subject. This time I’m here to represent Baron Thomas, and even the brave Viscount Daniel, to convey these nobles to you The will of the knights." The young nobleman said in a charitable tone: "Sir Allen, the benefits that Earl Auban can give you, we can also get it, and we can get more than Earl Auban. So you Look, it's all for people anyway, so why not join us, Lord Daniel."

"Oh? Thank you Master Viscount for your kindness, you can go now."

The young nobleman was startled, as if he hadn't expected Allen to refuse so simply, and didn't put himself in the eyes at all. He flushed immediately and said angrily: "But a baron in a mere mere thought he is a big man. I am also a guard dog here in Aubin. What's the difference between it and Lord Daniel's side?"

Allen laughed suddenly. He didn't get angry, but laughed freely: "It's irrational to insult a jazz. And this is not your sunset city, so you seem to be more stupid. Willick, I want this stupid A row of teeth."

"Happy to help, my lord!" Willick moved his angry beast armbands and grinned.

The young man suddenly changed his face and shouted: "What do you want to do, you can't do it! This is an insult, and the greatest disrespect to Lord Daniel..."

The words were not finished, Willick had already been punched in the mouth. When he fell to the ground, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and there were several white teeth stained with blood in it. The young man's mouth immediately swelled, and he pointed to Alan's speechlessness, only his eyes flashed with a deep resentment. Allen walked over and waved his hand, ready to hit punch Wei Like before leaving. Allen looked at him condescendingly and said: "This is to teach you a lesson. I'm really not a big man, but you can't even be called a person. Dare to gesticulate and insult on the enemy's territory, even I have to admire your courage, sir."

Several men who came with the young man showed helpless expressions. One of them said humanely: "Sir Alan, Mr. Chuck did have some mistakes in words and deeds. We are rude in this regard. Please forgive me. But please consider carefully. Lord Daniel’s invitation, as long as you agree, you can mention any conditions you have."

Allen said calmly: "Thank you Sir Daniel for his kindness, but since I'm already on the side of Earl Aubin, I can't make a temporary apostasy. Besides, even if I agree, Master Viscount can be so relieved that he can do it at any time The person who benefits the seller is by your side? So everyone, please go back."

The man sighed, and then he helped Chuck, who fell to the ground, and left the camp.

Willik looked at their backs and said: "This way we and Daniel will have no room for maneuver."

"In the beginning, I didn't plan to have any buffer space. We must know that we killed the opponent's general. However, Daniel could breathe out such a breath, and it was a bit surprised that he changed to recruit me." Allen said. .

"Boss, I think it would be better to join Daniel. No matter how you look at it, the situation on Earl's side is not very good."

"That’s right, if the earl is a sheep, then Daniel is a wolf. If we join the wolf, the sheep will definitely be eaten, and then the wolf may become a lion. If I just stop If you are loyal to an earl, then joining Daniel is obviously a sensible choice. But our steps are more than that. When we grow up, our backers will become enemies. Then you see, it will be easy to deal with a sheep by then. , Or is it easy to deal with a lion?"

Allen spread his hands and smiled: "The answer is not very obvious. While Daniel is still just a wolf, we use the power of the earl to kill him. It's better than waiting for him to become a lion before starting. ?"

"When the wolf is killed, we will become a lion. If the sheep are willing to cooperate at that time, it will be fine, otherwise, we will kill it at will." r1058
