In the empire, if you want to become a duke, you need to destroy the country, and to destroy the country, you need to sever the other party's bloodline. An old king's head is not enough.
In the large-scale ghost photo, Xia Ge quietly looked at the alien army that was pulling out the camp in the distance. If it wasn't for the special request of [Frenzied Feast], he would very much like to send a candle dragon towards the opposite side.
But it is clear that man will not accept the monster and stand with himself, he needs to leave reasonable traces.
The military camps spread over more than ten miles immediately moved after a certain order was issued. The capital was destroyed, and the civil and military forces died. This meant that the country lost its command system. Numa Seka relied on his current army to stabilize everything. , it is impossible for him to put down the army and go back lightly.
In ancient times, there were very few examples of night marches. The larger the scale, the more impossible it was. Soldiers' night vision problems are one aspect, and what is more important is how to keep the army from falling apart.
Soldiers of different nationalities who have been in the army all year round are very clear about this.So they are extremely disturbed now. Most of them have never experienced night marches. Something must have happened that made the coach have to take unnecessary risks.
What Xia Ge was waiting for was this moment, when Mingzhao was lifted, he took the lead and charged forward, followed by the Faceless Man.
He needs to build momentum, because fear takes time to spread.
The benefits of winning this war will be huge, because Ernest, the current real controller of the empire, is eager to stabilize his position. The previous destruction of the noble coalition forces will undoubtedly make matters worse, as long as the victory can cover up the losses.
Moreover, after the death of the Marquis of South and other nobles, there was a vacuum in the local power in North County. Coupled with the barren land on the north side of the second line of defense, it was enough to support a duke.
The black torrent easily broke through the outer checkpoints, followed by the stragglers who gathered in a hurry, then the mobile troops on alert, and finally the coach's personal guards.
In the main tent of the Chinese army, a young man in bright silver armor was holding a hideous spear. He didn't understand why the enemy could lurk so close.
Xia Ge passed him by, and Numa Seka's head was thrown high. After being put into a cloth bag, the Faceless Man trampled down the Chinese army's tent.
Given that Fury went out to look for food, someone used the spare knives rubbed out by Tiandi for the furnace. Anyway, after covering the armed color, it is almost enough.
The torrent passed through the long snake-like camp, and after stopping in the wilderness, it immediately turned around and made a new round of charging.
After several times, the army of the commander-in-chief's death collapsed, and the faceless men divided into small groups and scattered to hunt and kill them.
……
"In the winter of 1020 in the Imperial Calendar, due to the rampant alien invasion, the nobles of North County spontaneously organized a coalition army to carry out the Northern Expedition. The vanguard army, led by Viscount Ballust, captured the enemy's important town and defeated the enemy's many attacks. Remarkable."
However, due to the aggressive advance of the Marquis of South and other major nobles underestimating the enemy, the main force of 50 troops was wiped out, and the situation reached the point where the survival of the Northland was endangered.
Fortunately, Viscount Ballust turned the tide. After breaking through the alien capital, and under the circumstances of extremely disparate forces, he defeated the enemy army with more than ten thousand troops, covered up the enemy for thirty miles, and beheaded the false king and his heirs.
The danger in the northern part of the empire has been eliminated. His Majesty thought of his loyalty to the country, and specially appointed him as Marquis and Governor of North County. "
In the Imperial Palace, the imperial councilor stopped writing, raised his head flatteringly and asked, "Minister, Your Majesty, is it okay to write the content of the internal notice like this?"
"Minister, what do you think?" The little emperor asked with his head tilted.
"Your Majesty's thoughts are mine, but I think it's better to be a duke. After all, he has made great achievements in destroying the country, and his majesty's magnanimity cannot be reflected without generous rewards, and the governor of Beidi should be more reasonable.
As we all know, the northern side of the second line of defense is full of desolation. Now that there are no border troubles, it is time to develop it. It would be better not to give him the power to command the Serbian soldiers. "The minister replied while eating meat.
He needed an ally in command of the army to counterbalance General Bude.And the letter from the other party also expressed the tendency of cooperation. The combination of the center and the locality is the safest form. As long as that Balust is not stupid, it is not difficult to see that he is his best choice. The alliance between them is written in It's stronger on paper.
Seeing what he said so meticulously, the little emperor nodded as if he understood, "Then let's redesignate the Duke and Governor Beidi."
He has extraordinary trust in Ernest. After his brother died, the plague was rampant. If it weren't for Ernest, he might not be able to survive. Most of the credit is due to him.
"Yes..." Yuqian Yizheng answered with his head bowed.
Chapter 110 Seventh Festival
The Duchy of Balust.
Estes rode on the broad main road, which extended north from the original viscounty territory, and there were two cavalry stables nearby.
No one knows why the Grand Duke of the Northland insisted on building the road first.But the construction speed of this road is unimaginably fast. It is said that the Grand Duke's guards have personally participated in the battle, and those faceless men with infinite strength are even good at work.
In front of it is a majestic castle, which has obviously been strengthened in the later stage. At the door, the faceless man who was on duty in the past is nowhere to be seen. A man stands impressively. He is wearing a dark red velvet coat and has four ermine strips on his hat.Its crown has a gold ring and is decorated with 8 red gold leaves.
"Your Excellency the Duke." Estes greeted with a smile.
Xia Ge walked up to help her lead the horse with a normal face, and said, "It's a matter of timing. Usually, the center will not easily give the title of Duke."
If the little emperor is ten years older, he will understand that the nobles at the level of the Duke have already divided his power to some extent. In fact, Ornest can use the imperial power for private use The factor is.
The two walked slowly into the castle. Estes took advantage of the vacation to go home to celebrate the New Year. As long as the world is based on the year as the unit of time, festivals are often used to commemorate the transition from the old to the new, whether it is called the Spring Festival or not. A meaning.
In the garden, Ma Yin chased the little fox and ran around. There was nothing she could do about this kind of guy who cared about eating but not beating. He couldn't just scratch her to death with one paw. This guy has worked as a maid for a year. dead, the master will inevitably be angry.
Fury's childish complexion is bright red at this time, and she has gained a lot on the battlefield where the noble coalition forces were destroyed.
"I heard that you questioned Bude's dereliction of duty in the court, do you want to fight?" Esdes asked, if he had to choose between the Empire and Shag, he would definitely follow the other party.
"No..." Xia Ge shook his head, "It's just a matter of position. To be precise, it was the newly recruited officials from the imperial capital who raised the question, but everyone knows that it was me."
Giants need a clear political statement, so that it is convenient for subordinates to make judgments about friend and foe, and it helps to attract new blood.
He is now standing with Ernest, and it has nothing to do with whether the other party is good or bad. As a new nobleman, Barust has made a fortune not long ago, and even if he becomes a duke, he still lacks the corresponding influence.
In other words, the local government is not yet used to accepting his orders, and central support is necessary at this time.
"I can't get along with the governor of the fortress. He used his relationship to send me to the imperial capital." Estes said angrily.
Estes doesn't care much about money, and often rewards his subordinates with spoils of war.And the governor wanted to do everything possible to make money, and the fact that the military expenditure was allocated truthfully was enough for the two to hate each other.
The soldiers under her command eat fish and meat every day, while others swallow chaff and vegetables, which is equivalent to dragging the governor's face off. In the past, soldiers at the bottom had no channels to understand the treatment they deserved.
"Good thing, the gold content of local generals and central generals is not at the same level." Xia Ge said calmly, the other party probably meant to sue.
But he said before that he would no longer care about her career, and a frontier governor who regards money as his life is too useful.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that there is no fear of life.
"Okay..." Estes replied helplessly.
The subordinate's background is too deep to care about what to do, so she can only be sent to a higher promotion.
Since he became the duke, many news about the empire are no longer secrets to Xia Ge. The border troubles in the southwest are unfolding. At present, a prefect has died in the line of duty. Ernest should be preparing to suppress the rebellion. Esdes is going to The imperial capital may just be in time for this mobilization.
On the original timeline, Ornest may only want to train a subordinate who is outstanding in combat power and not focused on fighting for power.
However, there is a problem of appropriateness of the Teigu, just like the appearance of the demon god - the essence of the devil, some people will become crazy after drinking it, and some people can completely accept it. Only then did he become on an equal footing with Ernest.
"When you go to the imperial capital, you take four thousand faceless men with you, and you keep the command right, and no one else can command them," Xia Ge said.
This time Esthers will still get Teigu, because she is the younger sister of the Grand Duke of the Northland, and the four thousand faceless people are the support of the Grand Duke for the central rebellion, and Ornest must also give a response.
"What about you, isn't the construction of the duchy just getting started?"
"The production line of the Faceless Man never stops."
The production of lightning as energy is such a luxury.
"Master, look what I caught!" Ma Yin ran over excitedly holding the loveless little fox.
In fact, it wasn't Ma Yin who caught her, but the little fox really didn't want to run around anymore. She is a night owl, and it should be time to sleep now.
Xia Ge wiped the sweat off Ma Yin's forehead with his sleeve, then hugged the little fox, and placed her on top of his head. As the master, he was naturally obliged to save his knife from the sea of suffering.
"Bad woman..." Ma Yin's face was so envious that she was about to twitch after seeing Estes, especially her increasingly magnificent breasts.
Estes gave the little guy a white look, and then threw her a dagger studded with jewels.
"A present for you."
There are only three people in this family. She used to dislike Ma Yin.But after going out once, it changed a lot. At least the other party did not have the bad habits of those noble children outside, "Thank you..." Ma Yin lowered her head and whispered.
"I'll call her sister from now on." Estes walked past her and waved his hands casually.
"Let's go, if you don't go to dinner, it should be cold." Xia Ge took Ma Yin's hand and followed Esdeth, with a gratified smile like an old father on his face. I'm sorry, so I didn't go in front of her.
"First Evolution"
On the dining table in the castle, there were steaks and vegetable soup under the silver cover. Ma Yin went out to catch the little fox after cooking.
After all, she is the only cook in the entire Duke's mansion, and even the daily order is replaced by the faceless man.
After sitting down, Xia Ge cleared his throat and said, "Ma Yin, I am planning to hire tutors for you recently, they are all ladies with rich experience, and some have even traveled more than half of the empire, and you are at the age to learn. "
Estes was stunned when he heard the words, and then continued to eat. Learning is also a way to strengthen himself.Besides, it was Xia Ge's decision, she just silently rejoiced that she had grown up.
Ma Yin's face froze, and she asked hesitantly: "Can I wait a few more years? I think I still need a little preparation. If I go to class every day, then no one will play with the little fox."
There is no need... The little fox above his head glanced at Ma Yin.
"I didn't discuss it with you." It was rare for Xia Ge to act arbitrarily inwardly. Because of his identity, it was not realistic for Ma Yin to have a childhood life with playmates.
And 11 is hardly a childhood in this day and age, so someone wants to make up for it in other ways.
Chapter 110 Eight Days
In the garden, two people rolled into a ball.
Xia Ge's left arm was tightened in a V shape under Esdeth's jaw, and his right arm was placed across the back of her head. Then his left hand clasped the joint of his right arm from bottom to top, and his right palm pressed against the back of her head. Push forward, arching yourself hard.
Naked twist...
"I really have you." Xia Ge's face was a little dark. This guy actually played with him during the competition. He repeatedly ordered him not to use the technique of crotch kicking during training. What if an accident happened.
"Actual combat is of course going all out." Estes shouted with difficulty. She punched and wanted to attack the opponent, but because her joints were blocked, she was always short of the distance.
Of course someone knew that training should be as close to actual combat as possible, but he just felt offended.
"Aren't you convinced?" Xia Ge increased the range of his bow, and at the same time, he exerted more force on his arms. The other party was obviously about to lose his breath, and he might faint in a few minutes.
"Dissatisfied..." Esdeth's face flushed because of difficulty breathing. She had never conceded defeat since she was a child. Even if she fainted, Xia Ge should not let herself succumb.
The cheeks of the two people in the naked twist were pressed together, Xia Ge lightly bit Esdesh's earlobe, and instantly felt his tense body soften.
"Are you convinced..."
"No... take it."
It's too good, just want to fight against me, someone Xia... Xia Ge let go of her, stood up with his palms on the ground, and then patted the dirt on his body.
"Young, my lord general, you are soft..." Xia Ge teased with a smile.
Estes was lying on the ground with his arms outstretched to cover his eyes. If he couldn't see him, then he shouldn't be able to see himself either.
"Didn't you be quite tough just now, don't...convince." Xia Ge didn't let her go easily, but imitated her tone and said, kicking the crotch at that trick, he must make the other party's shame explode today.
"Enough!" Estes sat up and stared at him viciously, but her blushing cheeks were not intimidating at all. There was nothing left to miss about this family, and she was leaving now.
"Don't worry..." Xia Ge reluctantly picked her up and walked into the gazebo for rehabilitation. This time, Esdeth made a lot of progress, so he was beaten even harder.
During the treatment, Estes turned his head sideways all the time, but he didn't cause trouble.
