Heroes of the Invincible Knight Chapter 535

Kleis City, an important town on the Western Plain, is located in the middle of the Royal Capital Circle and the Longxiguan Defense Line, stuck at the intersection of several official roads. It is an important transportation hub on the Great Plains. Even if it is not comparable to the Golden Dragon Capital, it is still far above the Snow City in the north.

Going west from Claes City, if you galloped fast, you could reach the capital in just three or four days. Traditionally, it was one of the cities with stronger control in the kingdom.

It's just that there were originally two legions stationed in Clays City, a first-class legion of nearly 50,000 people, all of them were sent to Dragon's Breath Pass shortly after the start of the Dragon's Breath Pass. There are only weak garrison corps. Although the garrison corps of 20,000 people has undergone a short period of training and added a few soldiers, it is a little more decent than before, but it is only a little stronger. With the transfer of the main legion , the kingdom's control in Chrysler City is still slightly reduced.

After all, the Golden Dragon Kingdom is not a complete centralized kingdom. Nobles can keep private soldiers. In addition to the armed forces directly belonging to the central government, there are also many private soldiers of nobles. For a big city like Kleis City, there are at least some private soldiers around. Dozens of nobles, these nobles have a lot of influence on all aspects of the city.

Of course, because Clais City is within the radiation range of the Golden Dragon City, it is traditionally a strong area of royal power. Even without the army and dragon knights, the kingdom still has a strong control over this place. The city's administrative team And most nobles are still one with the kingdom.

The kingdom's orders can be effectively implemented most of the time. If the order harms the interests of the nobles, it can also be implemented with a discount on the surface, but the kingdom is responsible for rectifying the garrison and the defense of each city. Prince Ward Obviously not content with his orders being carried out with a discount.

A luxurious manor in Clys City, surrounded by heavily armed guards, they are all wearing dark cyan heavy armor, the armor has no extra decoration, and it looks extremely simple, which is brighter than that of the private soldiers of various noble families. The armor and bells and whistles are much more monotonous.

However, those who are interested can see that the cost of these armors is definitely much higher than that of ordinary soldiers. The dark blue armor is made of green iron ore unique to the dwarf ore veins, coupled with the forging technology of dwarves, it does not increase in weight. Under the circumstance, the defense strength can be directly increased by half.

Only a few elites are willing to equip them. Even for Richard's subordinates, there are only a few elites who can wear them. Moreover, because the price is too high, Li Cha is still trying to find a way to replace it with self-produced side armor.

Of course, these guards are not soldiers in the city of Clys. The garrison in the city cannot afford these dark blue armors, but the personal soldiers brought by the eldest prince. To rectify the local armed forces, he will definitely not be able to rely on himself. In reality, you must have a familiar team in order to quickly grasp the place.

To this end, the eldest prince not only brought thousands of pro-militaries, but also a large number of middle and low-level officers who can be used. In a short period of time, he sorted out the garrison and put up the shelf.

In the past, many people, including Li Cha, felt that although the eldest prince had good abilities, he had a disadvantage. He was impatient, and almost blatantly cultivated cronies. Although Ren didn't say anything, everyone still felt sorry for the eldest prince's behavior. Sweat.

But under the current situation, the eldest prince's familiarity with the army has become his greatest advantage, and with Ren's order, the garrison legions on the Great Plains are nominally under the eldest prince's command.

Whether it is out of public interest or selfishness, the eldest prince must do his best to handle this matter well. It seems that the results are not bad at present. Several cities and more than a dozen garrison corps have made the eldest prince re-build the air, replenished his troops, and restored a certain fighting ability.

In the process of rectifying the garrison, with his royal status and his good team, he abruptly shoveled out some interest groups, making the original rentier stunned for a while, and no one dared to come out to look for him on the bright side. trouble.

The eldest prince Ward was sitting on the upper seat in a military uniform, with a neat beard, coupled with that resolute face and the latest iron-blooded methods, which made the nobles in Clys City even more awe-inspiring. Those nobles who dare to kill are not afraid of those nobles who have ghosts in their hearts. They usually make a fortune in Clays City, but at this time they keep their attitude low when facing the eldest prince.

But the first sentence of the prince's next sentence caused the scene to freeze directly.

"The garrison corps in Clys City is seriously empty. Together with the four flag regiments in the surrounding towns, the vacancy has reached more than 20,000. I am afraid that everyone sitting here will benefit from it."

Some things are basically open secrets. Originally, the garrison corps was actually reserved for local officials and nobles. It was already because the city of Kris was not far from the king that it was too ugly. .

But it would be embarrassing for the eldest prince to break through such an open secret. Everyone didn't know what the eldest prince wanted to do next after breaking this matter. Anyway, he couldn't wipe out all the nobles in Clys City. Well, Li Cha is so domineering in the Northland and River Valley, it's just a matter of pulling one faction and fighting one faction.

"His Royal Highness..."

The nobles present looked at each other in dismay, and finally there was a hapless person who wanted to stand up and make a quibble under the signal of everyone, so he couldn't just acquiesce.

But before he could finally come up with an excuse, the eldest prince waved his hand to stop them, and took out a stack of paper and said:

"These are the lists of the garrison corps in various places, how many of them are missing, and who took the food and army salaries, you all know well."

The person who just wanted to speak was blocked by a sentence, and he stopped speaking but lowered his head, daring not to touch the eldest prince's bad head again.

The eldest prince didn't care about the reactions of the following nobles and officials, he took out another stack of paper and said:

"The number of military fields occupied by the various families that have been checked out, and there are many farmland occupied beyond the territory, only less and not more."

"If these are to be investigated, they will all have to be paid for by your heads."

Having said this, the eldest prince glanced at the crowd again and paused for a while.

"However, this time I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. There are still thousands of soldiers missing in the garrison army. Each family will fill me up with qualified soldiers within three days!"

The eldest prince deliberately put the word "qualified" very seriously, which is considered to be emphasized again.

There are at least more than 30 nobles in Klais City and the nearby towns. It is not difficult to fill up a few thousand soldiers and a family will not exceed 200 people. The key is to have qualified soldiers, then it is not that simple. At least they can't just pull the peasants on the territory and send the eldest prince away. If they had dared to do so in the past, but the eldest prince is so aggressive now, none of them dare to be a standout, at least they have to use it. The family's private soldiers and even the children of the clan are the backbone, and some young men with equipment can pass the test.

"The second is to make up for the land tax that should be paid in the past three years, not a cent!"

The eldest prince reorganized his army and expanded such an army. It is impossible to feed the army simply by relying on the kingdom's food. If the training is strict, the soldiers must be fed, and the tens of thousands of young and strong stomachs must be filled, which is not a small amount. , The eldest prince knows that after several rounds of preparations, the civilians can scrape almost as much as they can, and they must get some food from the nobles.

"This…"

Paying the land tax for three years at one time is not a small amount, and it is not a one-shot deal. If you pay this time, it means that you have acknowledged the existence of these invaded fields and hidden fields, and you have to pay them every year. Although these nobles are not unable to pay, but most of the benefits they eat are spit out, who wants to.

If there is a change of person, even if it is a high-ranking official from the capital, who wants to inspect the land and let them return the land and pay the tax, the nobles present must make a scene. After all, the nobles of the Golden Dragon Kingdom are even more powerful than the ancient Chinese gentry and landlord class. The fighting strength is a little bit, and each family has more or less some knights who keep some armored personal soldiers. If they really make trouble, they will only end with muddy mud.

But this time the background of the people above is too hard. One of the most promising heirs of the Charman family, and what is even worse is that the other party has strength. When they hesitated, a circle of soldiers stared at them, a pair If they dare not cooperate, they will not be able to get out of this door.

After the eldest prince finished speaking, he sat on the top and squinted, and didn't say more, but it caused huge pressure on the nobles below, and after standing for a while, someone finally stood up.

"The La Belle family is willing to send three knights and two hundred soldiers to fill the gap in the garrison for the eldest prince, and make up for the food owed within three days."

Seeing someone compromise, the surrounding nobles became more and more swayed. It would be fine if everyone froze. After all, the law does not blame the public, but if someone starts to compromise, wouldn't the one who is still here be a standout?

"it is good!"

"Rabelli's family, right? If the military merits are made, it is not impossible for the Labery family's title to rise to a higher level. By that time, those hidden fields will really become the fields of the Labery family."

The Labery family nodded to the eldest prince and stood aside again, as if they were relieved.

After that, several people came forward one after another, expressing their willingness to cooperate with the order of the eldest prince. In this kind of thing, most of them compromised, and it was difficult for the rest to bear it. After a while, the nobles below all made their own commitments. The number of knights and troops to be sent, and to make up what was previously owed.

After everyone promised to add some numbers, the eldest prince made a statement to let everyone leave. After all the nobles who were present with aching faces left, the face of the eldest prince changed color, and the originally calm face was full of anger.

"I really want to learn from that brother-in-law and bury these greedy guys in the loess."

In the eyes of the nobles, they have already made huge concessions, but in the eyes of the eldest prince, these people are digging the corner of the Charman family. Now it is so difficult for them to spit out the slightest bit. They are a bunch of people who deserve to be killed. .

"If it wasn't for the Labery family to take the lead in advance, I'm afraid even this price might not be so happy!"

A little bit of interest ahead of time, and attracting one or two nobles to cooperate with their actions, this kind of small routine seems very simple, but the effect is really good.

"Your Highness is wise."

"Ugh!"

"I don't worry about these people. Freeman, go and supervise them. The personnel and food and grass will be in place within three days, and they must not be delayed."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The adjutant who had been following the eldest prince also kept silent at this time. The people under the eldest prince~www.mtlnovel.com~ were basically professional soldiers, many of them were from the Royal Knights Academy in the capital, and most of these people were from civilians. Using them to supervise the nobles of Chrysler City, Ward is quite relieved.

Here, Freeman just went out, and before he had waited for the eldest prince to rest for a while, a soldier who delivered a letter walked in, which made the eldest prince energized.

"His Royal Highness, Mr. Richard came to visit and is now outside the manor."

"So soon?"

"Get ready, go out with me to meet Mr. Richard!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The eldest prince, who was still worried at first, has now put on a warm smile. With the assistance of the waiter, he sorted out his image a little and greeted him outside the manor in person.

No one thought there was anything wrong with the action of the eldest prince. The Charman family's blood was certainly noble, but with Li Cha's current strength and status, he had already jumped out of the kingdom's chessboard, and everyone was no longer on the same level.
