That's very badass

Chapter 135 Preparing to break up
Looking at the people who fell silent instantly, Roland was a little confused, because he had been in the forefront of the chaos and had not paid attention to, and could not pay attention to, the situation of the entire battlefield.

From this point of view, he is more like a reckless man than a commander/lord, just a reckless man with some strength.

After the war, in order to avoid the persuasion of Andal and others, he did not communicate with other people on this issue.

And he fought very smoothly, which gave him the illusion that the enemy was nothing more than that.

So this question falls to Roland, so it is not a difficult question to answer. In his opinion, there is no need to think about it. Of course, continue to fight.

It would be even better if we could capture a few more enemy nobles and exchange them for the southern nobles.

At that time, out of face, they are not allowed to give some thank you money?
Isn't the ransom coming out, and they can gain their favor and reputation at the same time.

Such a good thing is hard to find.

Thinking of this, he suddenly cheered up, and instantly felt his whole body was full of motivation, and the words came out with a bald mouth.

"What's the point of this? Of course it's fighting. It's not just a matter of having hands. I'm going to take a few more prisoners. After all, there are so many southern nobles waiting for us to exchange for them."

Hearing these words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they felt a little angry. Isn't this a mockery that they don't even have hands.

Good guy, it's so easy to say, they want to see who dares to speak so brazenly.

They began to look for the person who said this, and then their eyes fell on Roland, because he was the only one in the audience who showed an eager expression, and there was no need to guess.

They thought about it, and finally chose to shut up very conscientiously.

Once the anger dissipated, they really discovered the problem, that is, war really only needs hands, because with hands, they can wield weapons to attack, and they can also raise shields to defend.

They looked at their hands with complicated faces, and couldn't find a reason to refute them for a while. Of course, they could say that they still have feet, but that would involve more things, and they would appear to be suspected of arguing.

But they really don't want to continue playing, because they can't see the hope of winning at all, yes, the reason is so 'plain'.

If they can still see hope of winning, then someone will pay for their losses. If they can't even get back the land in the south, the redeemed nobles will not pay them any money.

Because in another sense, they are also defending their land.

Not to mention invading the land of the Kingdom of Hastings, what they are worried about now is that because of the continuation of the war, they will retreat steadily, and even lose their land in the end.

They don't even want to redeem the southern nobles, because in their view, those people are troubles, and they must be resentful of this after losing their land.

And without land, they will inevitably spend all their wealth to recruit troops, and may even ask everyone here to give them a piece of land as a place to stay.

Land is everyone's lifeblood, and no one will agree to such a request.

Although everyone is a noble and naturally on the same side, as long as their respective interests are involved, even being in-laws is nothing. Enmity is the main theme in the relationship between nobles.

All the nobles present, including the king, could not prevent them from recruiting soldiers, because they were nobles, which was a right given to them by law, and no one could deprive them of it.

After they recruit soldiers, they will use these as bargaining chips to coerce everyone to assist them in taking back their territory, because there are such provisions in the kingdom's laws.

At least for the king, he has the responsibility to protect the integrity of the nobles' land. If the kingdom chooses not to conduct the southern expedition, they with soldiers will inevitably become an unstable factor within the kingdom, and may fight with them over the land issue.

It doesn't even rule out the possibility of them going to war without authorization. If they feel that their strength is not enough, then they may attack the land in the kingdom, and the kingdom will become a pot of gruel.

Self-destructive personality is too common among nobles. When they are desperate, they will definitely do such a thing. Although everyone can understand it, no one will accept it.

"Let's discuss it together whether we should continue fighting or make peace."

Looking at the silent crowd, His Majesty Knell directly broke the calm. Instead of beating around the bush, he directly pointed out the issue.

He knew their thoughts very well, because he had the same thoughts in his heart, and only when their interests were consistent would they be so united, but no one knew about the good and bad times of this unity.

At least it seems good for now. This has stopped the collapse of the Rhodes Kingdom. They know very well that this is a process of boiling frogs in warm water, and they will slowly face death.

But until then, no one wants to think about that problem. If they can't even handle the crisis in front of them, then they will never do it again.

This is a multiple-choice question that normal people would do, whether to choose to die immediately or to die slowly.

And the latter may still be able to make a comeback through a series of factors such as hard work. Of course, this possibility is only as small as their chances of defeating the Kingdom of Hastings now.

This is also a bad start. They know very well that they will encounter the same problem in the future, and they will be abandoned as a burden at that time, but they have no choice.

At this time, Roland also realized that the situation was not good. Yes, from the reactions of the nobles and His Majesty's meaningful proposal, he clearly realized the fact that they were about to lose.

It's just that no one is willing to be the first to surrender and take on this responsibility, and the atmosphere becomes more and more depressing.

Time passed slowly, and everyone's eyes gradually began to focus on Roland.

Roland instantly felt that everything he did was meaningless. He was able to defeat one of the enemy's legions, and he took advantage of the second one, but he couldn't defeat all the enemy's legions continuously.

Although he is called an inexhaustible person, he is not really inexhaustible. Sometimes his manpower is exhausted, and he is not just talking.

Imperial soldiers also feel tired, and it is impossible for him to defeat all the enemy's legions on his own.

He and the imperial soldiers can play a certain role in such a large battlefield, but they can't play a decisive role. After all, their number is too small.

Even if the enemy stands still and lets them kill them, it will directly exhaust them to death.

"Since no one wants to say anything, let me say my opinion.

I am not very clear about our current fighting situation. I think everyone also knows my fighting style. Under such circumstances, I do not have any understanding of the overall situation.

In my opinion, since everyone has decided to negotiate peace, we must be at a great disadvantage and no one can see the hope of victory, which is why we made such a decision.

Or to be more precise, everyone saw the hope of defeat.

So let’s talk about the peace talks.

If we really want to make peace, then we need at least one reason why the enemy cannot refuse, or why it is not in the enemy's interest to continue fighting with us.

Only in this way can we persuade the enemy to make peace with us, instead of being humiliated as fools and then continue to wage war against us. "

Roland's tone was very unfriendly, at least in the eyes of everyone, but in Roland's eyes it was just a matter of fact.

Not long after he finished speaking, someone stood up unconvinced, "Earl Roland's words are too much to boost the morale of the enemy and destroy his prestige.

Yes, we did have a very difficult fight with the enemy today. I think everyone knows this deeply, but this does not mean that we did not cause casualties to the enemy. I believe their casualties will not be much less than ours.

Our soldiers were tenacious, and they fought until both sides could no longer sustain it before withdrawing their troops and returning to their camps. This is the most favorable proof. "

"Marquis Rocky is right. Although we have shown a disadvantage, we still withstood the enemy's attack. This is an indisputable fact.

I believe that after today's battle, we have accumulated enough combat experience, and the next battle will not be like this. "

Roland laughed angrily when he heard such words. What is this?My final stubbornness and pride?
He immediately said in a very blunt tone: "Since that's the case, what's the point of talking about peace talks? Just keep fighting. It's quite enjoyable for me to fight like this."

Roland was indeed quite satisfied with this kind of battle. Not to mention anything else, the increase in experience and family level alone made him very satisfied, not to mention the viscounts under his command who would provide him with experience and reputation.

Most of the soldiers he brought out this time were battle-hardened soldiers, most of them were in the fourth to fifth ranks, not to mention the cavalry, they were all the top imperial elite cavalry.

Thanks to the impact of the war, they have all become top soldiers now.

What Roland said was indeed the truth, but it was a different feeling in the ears of others.

No matter how good-tempered a person is, they can't accept Roland's successive provocations. Except for the northern nobles, other nobles are even more agitated.

"If you want to hit you alone, oh, this is Earl Roland the Inexhaustible."

"That's right, you're so powerful that you went up alone, and we didn't pull you."

"You, Roland, are just a new Earl, what do you know?"

It's just that Roland has a bad temper, and these words remind him that he is already a nobleman, and he is also an earl, so he no longer needs to swallow his anger.

He immediately went forward and grabbed the one who said he was the new earl, no matter what title he was, he wanted to 'thank' him directly.

He grabbed the noble and slapped him twice, then threw him on the ground. At the end, he didn't forget to pat the dust on his hands, as if they were stained with something dirty.

This beaten nobleman explained well to everyone what "seeking death" means.

Looking at the hateful look in the noble's eyes, Roland had nothing to worry about with such a person who had already formed a quarrel. The great thing was that soldiers would fight against generals, and he was not afraid of them.

He immediately walked up again and gave him a kick, causing him to arch up like a prawn. Only then did he let go of the evil spirit in his heart and stopped and returned to where he was.

The two huge slaps seemed to be slapped on everyone's heads. Coupled with Roland's hard kick, they felt that Roland had rubbed their slaps on the ground.

How could they endure this, and clamored to make Roland look good. If Roland was not at the door of the big tent, they would have staged a group of martial arts at this time.

The nobles were divided into two factions, one was dominated by the northern and western nobles, and the other was the northern nobles. Under the leadership of Earl Brando, they stood behind Roland to express their support for him.

Roland was a little surprised by this. Count Brando didn't care. After all, he had saved his life. As for the other northern nobles, he could only say that he accepted the favor.

"Are you guys going to show me what you're an outsider and an insider?"

Roland didn't seem to feel relieved enough. He was obviously the one who brought the first victory and killed the enemy bravely at the same time. One of these nobles counted as one, and they all stayed behind.

These are a group of pig teammates, no matter what they do, give away No. 1 head.

The scolding between the two sides could be clearly heard even outside the tent, especially the guards around His Majesty felt Alexander, they were afraid that those people would lose their minds and attack Earl Roland.

If something like that happened, I was afraid that every one of the people in the tent would be killed by Earl Roland. They immediately led His Majesty to the side of the northern nobles.

"That's enough, look at your appearance, do you still think of me as a king, are you still planning to go to war directly?"

Hearing His Majesty Quesnel's unkind words and his ugly face, the crowd calmed down a little. After all, they still had to rely on the king to negotiate peace with the other party, so they still had to give some face.

Otherwise they wouldn't bother with a king who had lost his authority in war.

At this time, the nobleman who was beaten seemed to feel better, and he immediately said: "No matter what you think, I won't fight anyway, and the troops I brought lost one-third in this battle alone. I'm ready to go back to the territory.

I have no reason to fight such a hopeless war, and no one in my family will support such a war. "

After speaking, he opened the tent directly and left from here. Roland just shrugged his shoulders, expressing his helplessness.

This sentence was like opening Pandora's box, and everyone expressed their opinions that their families would not support such a hopeless war, and stated that they would return to the territory immediately.
