Chapter 651 Outbreak
Spring year, the end of April.

Under the eyes of everyone, a huge convoy of hundreds of carriages set off from the capital of Dilo, heading east all the way to Suoliu Kingdom.

This convoy is the marriage convoy of Princess Sivenis who was married to the Kingdom of Soliu for the sake of peace between the two countries.

Before the convoy set off, in order to make the performance more realistic, Queen Yala cried to death, grabbed her daughter's hand tightly, and passed out several times from crying.

King Jaime also wiped the corners of his eyes, looking sad and helpless.

There were also a few young nobles who showed grief and anger, drew their swords from their waists, and tried to stop the convoy several times to prevent this humiliating marriage!

However, these nobles were all brought down after being controlled by the warriors.

In this scene, the special envoy sent by the Soliu Kingdom was even more proud, with his nostrils turned up to the sky.

He sarcastically said: "The Kingdom of Yadude is not considered a weak country. I didn't expect there to be such a few good men."

"I have taken your princess away. I believe that His Majesty the King and Prince of our country will love her very much!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Amidst the wild laughter of the special envoy, the convoy set off.

All the people present at the farewell dared not speak out.

After the special envoy and the convoy walked away, everyone's gloomy expressions finally turned into smiles like the sun melting.

"Let them be happy for a few days. After two months, let's see if they still laugh?" said an earl.

"Bah! The more proud they are, the worse they will fall!" Another earl spat.

"Let's hurry up and prepare. That woman will fight for us for two months at most. The border army of Suoliu Kingdom is all in place, and they may find an excuse to attack us at any time."

Zhou Ming said, the recruitment of mercenaries on their side has only reached about 60% at present, and less than 3 people have arrived in the Yadude Kingdom, so they need to speed up and recruit people quickly.

Everyone nodded and cheered up.

……

After more than two months.

Spring year, early July.

The first season of spring wheat has been harvested one after another.

The special envoy of Soliu Kingdom came to Yadude Kingdom again.

Make a request:
"Prince Geoffrey of our country is very satisfied with Her Royal Highness Princess of your country, and His Majesty the King also likes it very much, but..."

"The marriage between the two countries is such an important event, but your country only gave a gift of 100 cars as a dowry. It is too shabby. The nobles and ministers of our country are very dissatisfied, so..."

King James interrupted him, and said with a blank face: "The gift of 100 cars is worth more than 30 gold coins, isn't it enough?"

"This……"

The special envoy looked embarrassed: "According to the customs of our country, the dowry items for such a noble person as a princess should be around 500 million gold coins, 30...is far from enough."

"No, not a single one." King Jaime waved his hand, his face turning cold.

"I know you don't, so His Majesty the king of our country hopes that the Yadude Kingdom will take out 13 Earl's lands from Dongjing as a dowry and give it to our country...to show the sincerity of the marriage between the two countries."

Now the shameful face of the Soliu Kingdom was finally fully exposed.

After the special envoy finished speaking, he still looked at the crowd with a smug face, wanting to see the reactions on their faces.

anger.

grief.

Or rage?
but……

To the envoy's disappointment, no one in the court was outraged or shouted loudly.

On the contrary, it was extremely calm.

An eerie calm.

"Samurai, drag him down and kill him!"

A voice came from next to his ear, which scared the special envoy into a frenzy.

King Jaime!

The king directly ordered his execution?

"Wow~wow~"

Two warriors in armor stepped into the palace, the armor on their bodies rattling.

"Etc., etc!"

Seeing the samurai getting closer, the special envoy's legs softened and he almost knelt down. He said in a panic, "You can't kill me, you can't kill me!"

"Our country has prepared 50 troops at the border, kill me, and the two countries will immediately break out of war!"

"50 troops, a full 50! You can't stop it, you can't stop it!"

"Let me go, let me go!"

The special envoy yelled desperately, but everyone was unmoved, and the two warriors immediately restrained him and dragged him down.

"Don't kill me, please, I was wrong! Please don't kill me!"

The last voice of the special envoy came, and then it turned into a scream.

The special envoy of the Soliu Kingdom was killed like a chicken.

Not only him, but the entire special envoy sent by the Soliu Kingdom, a total of more than 20 people, were all killed, not a single one remained.

In this way, it will be more than 20 days after the high-level leaders of the Soliu Kingdom learned that the envoys to the Yadude Kingdom had unfortunately encountered thieves and all of them were killed.

Those more than 20 lives are equivalent to buying more than 20 days for the Yadude Kingdom.

In addition, Isa, who pretended to be a princess, won more than two months.

The two contributed a total of three months.

Plus the three months that both parties originally owned.

In other words, in order to deal with this inevitable war between the two countries, the Yadude Kingdom has made full preparations for half a year (years old)!
In the ample time of six months, for Zhou Ming, he not only pulled out a 10-man mercenary army, formed a 10-man kingdom army, and a 10-man logistics support army—— In total, a huge army of 30 people was formed!
And more than two months of formal training.

All kinds of materials are enough for this army to use for 6 months!

Even a variety of new weapons, five or six models have been developed, and 9 to [-] people have been refitted.

For example, the super-long-range crossbow, the sharp sword, the light breastplate, the incendiary bomb based on oil, and the powerful breech-loading rifle developed based on the red powder used in the dwarf gunpowder gun, etc.

Especially breech-loading rifles, with a maximum effective killing range of more than 600 meters, can fire six to eight rounds per minute, which can be called an artifact.

Only due to insufficient raw materials for preparing red gunpowder, only more than 800 such breech-loading rifles were produced, equipped with elite troops, and played the role of a battlefield killer.

In short, whether it is soldiers, weapons, food, training or other aspects, Yadude Kingdom has made all preparations.

On the other side of the Soliu Kingdom, the main combat faction, who had been impatient for a long time, directly declared war on the Yadude Kingdom on the grounds that "ineffective protection resulted in the death of the special envoy of the Soliu Kingdom", and immediately launched a military operation.

It's just that under the excellent camouflage and perfect secrecy system of the Yadude Kingdom, the high-level leaders of the Suoliu Kingdom and the Western Territory Legion have not realized until now, what kind of force will the army they are about to face be?
……

Yadude Kingdom.

eastern frontier.

In a border fortress.

There is a mercenary regiment of about a hundred people stationed there.

This mercenary group is called the "Fire Mercenary Group". It has a history of more than 30 years and has participated in more than 50 conflicts and wars. There are only 21 left.

Hodt Agni, in his fifties, has a conspicuous light-colored scar on his forehead, and is one of the only three old men left in the regiment.

After the morning exercise this morning, before breakfast, when he went to the command tower to ask the head to have breakfast, he found that the head was holding a charcoal pencil in his hand, and was writing and drawing on the wall.

The head of the group is called Klein, in his 40s, one of the three old men, the son of the previous head, one-eyed, and superb swordsmanship.

What he cares most about every day is how to lead the mercenary group to a stable and bright future.

"Klein, stop drawing and go to breakfast."

The leader didn't seem to hear it.

Instead, he kept chanting:
"After the war starts, if you defend this fortress for three days, you can get the remaining 50% of the commission, and you can leave the frontline battlefield at any time."

"If you stick to the fortress for more than five days, you can get a 150% commission and get 1000 merit points."

"If you stick to it for more than ten days, you will get 200% commission and 2000 points of merit."

"In addition, every time you kill an enemy, you can get 10 points of merit."

"Capture an enemy with sound limbs, you can get 50 points."

"Merit points can be exchanged for many things, such as gold coins, 1 merit point can be exchanged for 1 gold coin."

"It can also be exchanged for more sophisticated weapons."

"Even, as long as the merit point reaches 1 points, it can be exchanged for a baron title with a territory."

"1 points, Hodt, I don't think this is difficult to get."

"If we stick to this fortress for more than ten days, and then kill 800 enemies, or capture 160 prisoners, we will get 1 merit points..."

The head of the group, Klein, became more and more excited as he spoke: "Hodt, I can become a nobleman with a land!"

"At that time, we can end this life of slut and blood!"

"Hodt, don't you think that's pretty cool?"

Klein grabbed Holdett and asked.

"Okay, okay, let's go to breakfast, you won't have anything to eat if you're late! Those big eaters won't save some for you just because you are the team leader."

Hodt said helplessly, "I don't know what's going on. Ever since the above "Military Merit Reward Rules" were issued, Klein, the head of the regiment, who has always been clear-headed, has been calculating how to get 1 rewards all day like a demon." meritorious service value.

Hodt thought to himself: Maybe it's because I've lived a wandering life for too long. Faced with an opportunity to become a nobleman and live a stable life, the head of the group behaved like a child longing for his favorite toy.

Of course, Hodt also longed for stability, and his heart was moved, but he had experienced too much, and had one or another opportunity in front of him. Once he caught it, he would be able to make a fortune, but in the end... the harvest Still mostly disappointed.

He also stayed in the mercenary group.

"Clang clang clang clang~"

The extremely rapid alarm gong suddenly sounded!

"The enemy is attacking!"

"A large group of enemies are attacking!"

"All in place, ready for war!"

The old man Arnold, who had been on guard in the watchtower, reported the enemy's situation loudly.

"coming!"

"They are finally here!"

Klein jumped up, holding the epee hanging on the wall, and walked towards the stone wall with great excitement and excitement.

……

"Go! Kill!"

"For glory!"

On the horizon not far away, countless phalanxes of the Soliu Kingdom's army lined up, roaring like a tide, rushed towards the hundreds of fortresses on the eastern border of the Yadude Kingdom.
