The ragged prince squinted at the excited Trigg and said, "The mercenary group hired by Mir is still on the way here, don't you wait for them to come together?" It will take us a while to build a trebuchet, so it's better to wait until everyone is here. "
Where can Trigg afford to wait.
He escaped from the Reese Wolf Fox and now needs a big victory to inspire all the Reese nobles.
The nobles and freedmen on the Rhys plantation were watching him.
If he can't win, the nobles may join forces to kill him.
Trigg O'Morun was originally a trading aristocrat in Rees, but because his industries were mainly shipping and shops, most of them were in the Rees Islands.
These plantation nobles were the people he looked down on the most, but now they are eyeing him.
This is why he promised the mercenary group to let them plunder the plantation in the future.
"Don't wait, the other party has a total of 10,000 soldiers and horses, our slave corps has 25,000 people, and your mercenary regiments add up to more than 10,000 people, more than 30,000 people against 10,000 people, the advantage is mine!"
Trigg's eyes erupted with vengeful fury.
What he wanted to do most now was to rush into the outpost tower and put the head of the oriental man in the spear.
Carson, the leader of the Mu Nu Group, was indifferent, he never took the Oriental army seriously.
Although the Oriental defeated Reese, Reese's slave soldiers seemed to him no better than the prostitutes.
Their courage was lost long ago the moment they became slaves.
If it weren't for the fact that the bosses of these mercenary groups were not good at business, they would have united to eliminate these fragile city-states.
"Okay, there's too much nonsense, hurry up and build dozens of trebuchets, I don't believe that the sentry tower can withstand it."
Carson curled his lips and looked at Trigg disdainfully.
Trigg gritted his teeth at the leader of this Mu girl group, and at the same time blamed the dead Denak.
It's all that trash that called this disobedient mercenary group.
However, he now has to ask for help from these mercenary groups, especially the Mu Nu Group, so he can only smile on the surface.
He said to the leader of the mercenary group who looked like an uncle: "We will start building the trebuchet immediately." "
After the meeting, Governor Trigg of Reese hurriedly summoned his officers and urged the slaves on the plantation to cut down trees and build trebuchets.
The days passed day by day.
After half a month, Trigg worked overtime to build thirty trebuchets.
There is still half a month left before the mercenary group hired by Mir arrives.
Liu Qian stood on the top of the tower, holding a Mill lens and looking down from above, and giant trebuchets were already standing on the field, ready to go against the outpost tower.
Chai Yi asked: "Your Majesty, are we going to take the initiative?" "
Liu Qian nodded: "It's almost time, the mercenary regiment on Mir's side hasn't arrived yet, but the Reese people are about to attack us, obviously, the Reese don't want to wait any longer, they are determined to drive us away."
Get ready, tonight we will raid the camp of the Reese. "
Night fell.
The mist envelops the hills and trees, blurring the brilliance of the stars and moon.
In the Reese coalition camp, the bonfire flickered in the fog.
The slave soldiers on duty at night huddled around the campfire, fighting with heavy eyelids.
Only those experienced mercenaries remained alert, their eyes piercing sharply towards the wilderness engulfed by mist outside the camp.
Under the blue and white fork-tailed flag of the wind-blown group, the prince of the cage did not remove his armor.
He sat in a humble camp, a piece of oilcloth repeatedly wiping the blade of the long sword in his hand, and the silver-gray armor glowed in the dim oil lamp.
Behind him, the "battle poet" Denzor Dehan whispered: "My lord, it's late at night, let's rest, in a few days, we will attack the stone tower." "
The Prince of the Cage raised his eyes, which seemed to be forever full of sorrow: "It's a pity, I thought the Reese would be more patient and wait for reinforcements to arrive." "
Denzo shook his head and said, "No, this Governor of Rees has lost Rees City and is already crazy. "
The curtain moved slightly, and the torturer "Beauty" Meris walked into the tent, her voice with a hint of dissatisfaction: "But we can't go crazy, my lord, the brethren in the camp are whispering that our rag king actually listens to the stupid Ris people..."
Denzel said bluntly: "Merris, can you shut them up? Tell them that if we accept gold, we must pay with blood. "
Meris frowned, "Where's the gold? You see, the down-and-out Governor of Reese even had his house stolen, and they had nothing, only a few plantations. "
Danzo muttered: "It's enough to rob them of the plantation." "
The prince stood up, and the cloak made of countless pieces of colored cloth behind him fell silently.
In the depths of his sad gaze, there was a shrewd fox shining.
"Merris is right, let's rob the manor? The Mu Nu Group will grab it, the Flag Breaking Group will also go, and the Pike Regiment, which will soon turn into a farce.:. We can't sit still, I vaguely feel that the Oriental is not easy to mess with.
Rumor has it that he has dragons, undead legions, and all the mercenary legions are rebelling, thinking that these are nonsense, but we only see that Telosi has fallen and Reese has been taken, what better illustration of the strength of the Orientals than these examples? "
Danzuo's pupils shrank: "My lord, what do you mean?" "
Prince Yi showed a cunning gaze: "I decided to fight for gold, but it doesn't have to be the gold of the Reese, send someone to tell the Oriental that we will act as an insider to help him defeat the Reese, and after the matter is done, we only need to pay the gold that the Reese promised us." "
He could see the loose military spirit of these Reese slave soldiers, and he could also see that several mercenary groups had their own ghosts.
No one can command so many vicious mercenaries.
Danzo volunteered: "I'll go, I can see the road clearly at night." "
The Prince of the Cage nodded.
Outpost tower.
The atmosphere in the tower was solemn.
Liu Qian's dragon spirit guards and elite soldiers were fully armed, and the bronze carapace was shining under the torches.
The blade of Valyrian's steel sword whispered in its sheath, only waiting to drink blood from its sheath, and the soldiers silently checked their equipment, the sound of heavy breathing and the slight rubbing of the armor leaves were the only sounds in the camp.
At this moment, a slight commotion came from under the tower.
A patrol escorted a burly man dressed as a mercenary to walk quickly.
"Your Majesty, we have captured a mercenary who threatened to negotiate with you."
Liu Qian became interested and looked at this strong man.
The bound "battle poet" Denzo Dehan was not afraid, he raised his head, his eyes went straight to Liu Qian, who was surrounded by heavy troops, and his voice was loud: "Your Majesty, I am a mercenary of the Wind Blowing Group, and I have come to discuss a plan with Your Majesty on the order of our Rag King." "
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw clearly the murderous posture of the soldiers around him, and his heart sank suddenly.
The other party was fully armed, as if preparing for a night attack.
Prince Yi's premonition was terribly accurate.
The cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
If the other party really attacks at night tonight, even if the Reese barracks does not collapse, most of them will be killed or injured.
Liu Qian heard the name of the Prince of the Cage and was even more interested.
He clearly remembered that he had also seen the Prince of the Cage's Wind Blowing Corps recruiting mercenaries in Valantis.
He is no stranger to the person of Prince Cage.
The prince of the cage doesn't look harmless, but he is cunning.
His sense of smell is keen.
In the original work, he obviously helped the slave owner of Yuan Kai fight, but as soon as he observed the incompetence of the slave owner, he had the idea of turning to Daenerys.
"What plan?! If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, you won't see the sun tomorrow. "
Liu Qian said coldly.
Danzo's forehead was sweating, and he pretended to be calm: "Your Majesty, our rag king asked me to come here because the governor of Rees is shy and can't pay our commission, and we want to serve your demons." "
Liu Qian smiled in his heart, it seemed that the butterfly effect brought by his sneak attack on Reese was quite large.
The escaped Trigg couldn't pay the remuneration of these mercenaries, so it's no wonder that the wind blows the group back.
But he also asked the question in his heart: "Then why don't other mercenary groups be like you?" "
Danzo explained: "Governor Reese promised them that when His Majesty was defeated, he would let them plunder the manor as a reward for their employment... Our rag king felt that this method would trigger a struggle among the mercenary groups, so he decided to take refuge in His Majesty. "
Only then did Liu Qian understand the reason.
Trigg is really stupid.
Let a few mercenary groups grab the plantation, and the one with the largest number and the strongest will definitely have the advantage.
The Mu Nu Regiment had 5,000 people, the Flag Breaking Rebellion had 3,500 people, the Pike Regiment had 800 heavy cavalry, and although the Wind Blowing Rebellion had 2,000 people, their equipment was far inferior to the former, and they would definitely be at a disadvantage to grab the plantation supplies.
Liu Qian nodded: "Okay, I will accept your allegiance, and when the war is over, I will pay you money." "
Liu Qianli had robbed enough money.
The remuneration of the wind blowing group? The Reese people had already prepared for him.
