Next to the training ground.
Lin Ke drove away Laplace, touched the cheek that had been rubbed by the papyrus, and then looked at the others.
He counted and found that almost all the nobles had arrived, and he saw a large, dark mass of people.
He asked Laplace to roughly calculate that there were nearly 30,000 troops here.
Thirty thousand people!
From ordinary refugees and commoners, to the sons of counts and marquises, to princesses, the total number must be far more than 30,000.
Not to mention servants, slaves, and retinues.
Fortunately, the interior of the Great Wall all the way to Azan Castle has been cleared, so it is naturally very spacious.
But if he needed to talk to everyone, Lin Ke would definitely have to fly with the Servant of Truth and use amplification. .
Of course, now Lin Ke only needs to communicate with these twenty nobles.
"Now let's organize the team and define your functions and responsibilities, shall we?" Lin Ke drove the Gula Bull and approached the nobles.
Some of these nobles rode mounts, some walked, and some rode ox carts.
Some of these nobles have seven or eight levels of strength, some are only two or three levels, just like Lin Ke, and some are simply level one.
Some nobles entertained their friends and were surrounded by various servants and maids, while some nobles followed their guards with majestic momentum.
Just from their appearance, Lin Ke could tell which nobles were powerful and had powerful subordinates.
"Everyone, come on?"
Lin Ke walked to a suitable position and stood still.
Earl Jusword and the others naturally came forward. Princess Lika had gone somewhere and she hadn't come back yet.
Some minor nobles similar to Lin Ke also came forward and greeted him obediently, hoping to please Lin Ke.
However, there were a few earls and viscounts who maintained their identities and did not come forward.
Lin Ke didn't care. If the army has been allocated and he hasn't joined yet, then he can just be cannon fodder or fend for himself.
"Hello everyone..."
Lin Ke looked at the people gathered around him and gave a polite chest-beating salute.
Yet only some returned the favor.
I saw Viscount Mantis driving his horse forward and saying with an indifferent expression: "It is okay to hand over the military power, but our glorious team cannot be broken up!"
Lin Ke narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
Before, Viscount Mantis was like a small transparent person on the top, but unexpectedly he jumped out now.
Originally, Lin Ke wanted to break up these teams into parts and use his own guard team as squad leaders to facilitate control and orders.
On a deeper level, it is easy for these noble troops to respect him.
Of course, after the war, the nobles will definitely take it back, but then Lin Ke will plant a seed in their hearts.
For example, when lords are at war with each other, if Lin Ke wins, it will be easy to take over the army of the opposite lord.
After all, he was the team leader who had been with him day and night, and the president who had treated him with both grace and power.
And if Lin Ke lost in that kind of war, to put it harshly, those people would treat Lin Ke kindly, right?
Coupled with Lin Ke's future plans for the Azane territory, Lin Ke used a method that extremely challenged the nerves of the nobles, that is, breaking them into parts to deal with these armies.
But nobles are not fools, at least not all of them.
The presence of Princess Lika just now, coupled with the help of Earl Jusword and others, and most importantly Lin Ke's own military quality and knowledge, prevented the nobles from saying anything against it.
But now, Princess Lika is not here, and as expected, those people can't sit still.
Viscount Mantis was quite shrewd in choosing to speak at this time.
At this time, Earl Jusword spoke: "Just now at the Wall of Azan, all the nobles agreed. Are you going to betray the glory of the ancient contract?"
As soon as these words came out, the nobles who were originally a little moved and wanted to support Viscount Mantis were shocked in their hearts.
The contract is glorious and true to its word.
This is one of the foundations for nobles to maintain their own glory, honesty.
Viscount Mantis wanted to speak again, but he couldn't help but flinch when he saw Count Greatsword's cold expression.
The Earl of Giant Sword is a powerful professional at level 16, and he is considered to have the highest combat power among this group of nobles.
Viscount Mantis was just a viscount, he was inherited, so of course he was not qualified to talk back.
"Haha, you can't say that."
However, at this moment, a rich voice sounded again.
Everyone looked over.
"Earl Grizzly Bear, what do you mean?" Before the giant sword could speak, Earl Black Claw shouted angrily: "Your Grizzly Bear Jungle is right next to my castle!"
"What? Do you still want to come and fight with me? I'm with you anytime!" The Earl of Grizzly Bear was tall and mighty, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he was not afraid of Earl of Black Claw.
After provoking Black Claw, Earl Grizzly Bear looked at Lin Ke again: "Lin Ke, I respect your character, but you are too young! And my Grizzly Bear Cavalry were all trained by five generations of my family, so we can't listen You can do whatever you want!"
Lin Ke frowned and listened carefully without making a sound.
After Earl Grizzly Bear finished speaking, Viscount Mantis, who had just retreated, jumped out again: "That's right! There are only two hundred [double-sword warriors] in my family, and your father brutally killed more than a hundred before. Why should I fight?" Let's break up and follow your orders?"
After speaking, the nobles began to whisper among themselves.
What Earl Grizzly Bear and Viscount Mantis said is indeed right!
Which of their armies was built with hard work?
Not to mention professionals, even a team of ordinary people would not be easy to train.
Now most of them come here for military training and for the materials and parts of the Warcraft.
A small number of them responded to the call of the Mianless Emperor or were too close to Azan's territory, fearing that Azan's fall would spread to their own territory.
Only a very small part of them came for Lin Ke.
Whether it's for Lin Ke's future, to curry favor with Aof, or for Princess Lika.
But in the end, there were only a few people who came here for Lin Ke's words of "taking the lead in the charge."
Therefore, the minds of these nobles were pried at this time.
"Indeed... what Mantes said makes sense..."
"My archers are elite, and those two thousand thorn pine bows... Andrew's legs are not easy to maintain!"
"Wait, have you forgotten the promise we made in front of Her Royal Highness Princess Lika?!"
"Princess Lika can't represent everyone, right? Besides, she's just a princess. Even Emperor Wumian can't break the ancient covenant."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Lin Ke frowned, looked at the people who were discussing, then looked at the direction where Princess Lika left in the distance, and finally turned to look at Viscount Mantis.
This Viscount Mantis is a shrewd man, it seems he needs to be eliminated as soon as possible!
He just used a few words to stir up everyone's thoughts, which was really sinister.
However, this is not the time for Lin Ke to speak!
So Lin Ke turned his attention to Akli and the others.
Akli blinked, and then spoke with a kind face: "Everyone, let's not get too angry. Look, there are some beasts watching us across from us!" He pointed at the Great Wall.
After saying this, the nobles' originally high emotions subsided.
Earl Jusword took this opportunity to speak: "I think our wisdom and courage...I mean, at least in terms of war, maybe it is not as good as Lin Ke? So now you have to do the same in terms of integrity, glory and courage. Losing to a six-year-old?"
As soon as these words came out, the little nobles immediately wavered.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Viscount Mantis retreated without saying a word.
Instead, Earl Grizzly Bear spoke again: "Of course we know Lin Ke's intelligence, but if we all want to listen to him, my knights must recognize it, right?"
Earl Grizzly didn't know if it was aimed at Lin Ke, and his tone didn't mean much.
Lin Ke also felt that Earl Grizzly Bear was right, and it was indeed important to convince the soldiers under his command.
But this is a bit difficult to do.
There are several ways to convince the people of Nasenge.
The simplest way is to use extremely strong force, such as that of the Wumian Emperor.
For example, although Lin Ke could show his noble character later, it was already too late by then.
Including sharing joys and sorrows, etc., are all methods that are effective too late.
If he wanted to convince everyone quickly... Lin Ke was thinking crazily in his mind and had the answer in his mind.
Although he is actually not very willing to be exposed, the matter has come to this, and the best way to convince the people in Nasenger is actually...
Lin Ke sighed inwardly and opened his mouth to speak, but then another solemn voice sounded:
"It belongs to the Kingdom of Gula, and Emperor Wu Mian has an order!"
Orders in the Gula Kingdom are very simple, because in most cases, orders can be conveyed through gods, and in a few cases, people will be sent to convey orders.
At this time, it was Princess Lika who gave the order!
I saw Princess Lika standing on the city wall at some point, holding her scepter and looking solemn.
There is also a hummingbird-like bird on her shoulder, which is the Kuku bird used to send messages here in Nasenge.
Similar to Lin Ke's flying pigeon in his previous life.
Lin saw this and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Caught up!
What he asked Princess Rika to do!
"Pass my father's command. All wars between Azane and the Lava Swamp are under the control of Count Linko Azane! Princess Rika will control them! Until the Sleepless Emperor arrives two months later!"
Princess Lika's voice was sweet and melodious, yet as loud as a nightingale, and sounded sweet to her ears.
However, there was an uproar below.
that power!
The power is given to Lin Ke!
There were many reasons why the nobles were unwilling to listen to Lin Ke before.
Although they felt that Lin Ke's future was limitless and they were willing to make good friends, coupled with the support of Earl Jusword and others, and the recognition of Princess Lika, Lin Ke could be regarded as a potential stock.
But their military power is actually their lifeblood!
Even if Lin Ke has his own knowledge and wisdom, even if he has the quality and courage represented by the phrase "lead the charge", they are still unwilling to compare with their own family.
There are also a series of reasons including the ability to leave a name on the Great Wall, the material supply of Azane's territory, the existence of Auf, etc., but they are not as important as the family.
But things are different now.
Emperor Wu Mian personally passed the command and ordered Lin Ke to be the commander of the front line.
Is this a big deal? !
and……
"I remember, isn't the Azan family a viscount family?" One viscount discovered a blind spot.
Suddenly, everyone was shocked.
Lin Ke was looking at Princess Lika on the city wall at this time, but he frowned unconsciously.
What about Butler Curry behind Princess Lika?
Lin Ke suddenly had some conjectures in his mind, but now was not the time to think about those things.
At this time, Princess Lika paused for a moment, and then spoke again before anyone could think about it.
"In addition, Linko Azane is well-organized on the front line, and His Excellency Aof has joined the Azane family, so Linko Azane is named the Earl of the Kingdom of Gula! The fiefdom is extended to the entire lava swamp!"
Make Linko Azane Earl!
Then the Azan family is no longer a viscount family, but a count family!
In the past, nobles were promoted through the efforts of one generation after another, and then through various methods to accumulate financial resources, force, military strength, etc.
One day, when the entire family has the strength to compete with level 15, they will be promoted to earl.
To be promoted to baron, you need to have the strength to compete with level 5 professionals. Viscount is level 10, earl is 15th level, marquis is 18th level, duke is level 20, and grand duke is a legend or god.
And now, the Viscount Azane family has been promoted to the Earl family because of Lin Ke, or because of the existence of Lin Ke and Aofu!
However, this is not the most exaggerated. After all, there are many lucky families that rise because of one person.
The most exaggerated thing is the increase in fiefdoms.
Fiefdom - Lava Swamp!
The surrounding nobles took a deep breath.
That's a lava swamp!
It is already comparable to a principality.
Could it be that the Wumian Emperor was angry because of this incident, so he planned to eradicate all the Warcraft kings in the lava swamp in one fell swoop, and then incorporated the territory into the Gula Kingdom?
There are countless monster kings above level 20 in the lava swamp. It is one of the three major monster gathering places in Nasenge. No force has ever been able to include this kind of monster gathering place in its territory.
Moreover, such a large territory should be handed over to a small rural family like Azane?
You must know that in normal noble promotions, the Wumian Emperor usually chooses to reward a secondary plane as a fief, and rarely chooses the fief of Nasenger.
Not only because there are so many powerful people in Nasenge that it is difficult to open up, but also because several major forces in Nasenge have agreed not to start a war easily.
And now, with Lady Tide falling first, it seems that the Sleepless Emperor has decided to launch an all-out war on the Everglades.
if that is the case……
The nobles looked at Lin Ke with much more eager eyes. Even Viscount Mantis couldn't help but twinkle in his eyes.
Earl Grizzly squinted his eyes, and the light in them was inconsistent with his simple and honest appearance. It was obvious that he was thinking about something.
"Thank you for your recognition, Your Majesty Wumian!" At this time, Princess Lika finished reading, Lin Ke got off the Gula Ox, lowered his head and beat his chest with his right hand to show respect.
There is no need for three kowtows and nine bows here, let alone long live the emperor. Just a salute is enough. From this aspect, it is quite good.
After Lika on the city wall finished reading, she nodded slightly to Lin Ke, and then stood there, as if waiting for Lin Ke's arrangement.
Lin Ke returned to the Gula Cow and looked at the nobles.
Facing those eager eyes, he first added a loudspeaker to himself: "Everyone, from now on, I am the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall!"
Surprisingly, there was no objection this time.
Lin Ke also guessed some of the thoughts of the nobles and said with a smile: "I will try my best to retain your original soldier affiliations and not break up the team. Please also obey my orders!"
When the nobles heard this, the trace of worry in their eyes also dissipated.
Lin Ke's face was full of smiles, and then he began to talk and get to know the nobles one by one.
Now, everything else is secondary. Holding the Great Wall until Emperor Wu Mian brings troops to support in two months is the most important thing!
"Then, let's discuss it together..."
At this time, Lin Ke returned to his humbly seeking advice and discussed with other nobles one by one.
Cavalry, infantry, ranged soldiers, charge, reconnaissance, death squads, surprise troops, cannon fodder...
The various types of arms opened Lin Ke's eyes, and countless combat ideas took shape in Lin Ke's mind.
In the end, Lin Ke discussed with the nobles, and only a very small number of complementary troops were dispersed and redistributed, while some unique units retained their original organization.
Of course, Lin Ke also knew that nobles like Earl Jusword were powerful only when they were with the soldiers and attacked together.
However, during the discussion, someone came to report.
"Lord Akli! My pet beast found something strange in the great swamp!"
This is a man wrapped in a black robe, sitting on a thin black cheetah.
This is one of Count Aker's followers, an eighth-level [Beast Master].
Something's happening in the Everglades!
The nobles quickly looked at Lin Ke, waiting for Lin Ke to make up his mind.
"Unusual movement?" Lin Ke frowned and looked at Akli: "Uncle Akli, what is the specific situation?"
Since the death of Lady Tide, the Great Swamp has been shrouded in the aura of those monster kings, and humans will be discovered if they get close.
Many of their [Scouts] and [Thieves] have been discovered, so much so that Lin Ke has been trying to investigate the situation, but there is nothing he can do.
Akli looked at Lin Ke, then at his followers, and finally looked at Lin Ke and said: "Xiao Lin Ke, you are now the commander-in-chief! Just ask whatever you want to ask!"
Lin Ke nodded when he heard the words, cast a grateful look at Akli, and then looked at Akli's followers.
Akli's followers were also smart and immediately replied:
"Lord Lin Ke, I observed that there seemed to be noises in the Great Swamp, so I released the pet beast 'One-eyed Dog'. It told me that the smell inside was getting more and more, and... it seemed to be breaking out of the forest in the Great Swamp! "
"About half an hour left!"
Within half an hour, monsters rushed out of the forest!
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
It had been calm for so long, and some people even suspected that the Great Swamp did not dare to attack the Gula Kingdom at all, and suspected that Lin Ke had ulterior motives.
But now, the wave of monsters in the Great Swamp is really coming!
Lin Ke didn't hesitate at all. He immediately added a loudspeaker to himself and said with a serious face: "Everyone, gather in ten minutes!"
Everyone was shocked and started to rectify their subordinates.
Lin Ke, on the other hand, hurriedly walked towards the Great Wall.
"Teacher! I'm going to help too!" At this time, Laplace also came over with math problems.
However, he also knew that the situation was urgent and did not pester Lin Ke to solve the problem. Instead, he turned around and left after speaking.
Lin Ke pulled Laplace back, widened his eyes and said, "Don't run around! Stay with me!"
Laplace is the only son of the Marquis on Ice!
It would be nice if the Marquis on Ice had many descendants, but Laplace is the only heir to the bloodline on Ice!
The Marquis on the Ice was a powerful level 18 professional, and Lin Ke didn't want to offend him.
"Oh." Laplace suddenly beamed with joy, his ice-blue eyes full of joy, and followed Lin Ke, who was several years younger.
Lin Ke ignored Laplace and quickly walked up to the city wall, and Princess Lika also came up to meet him.
"Where's Butler Curry?" Lin Ke asked as soon as they met.
Lika's face was originally full of joy, but her eyes drooped when she heard Lin Ke's culture: "Why are you asking him? Just tell me, do you like the replacement birthday gift I gave you?"
Lin Ke looked at her speechlessly: "You have given me fifty-six birthday gifts... Do you think I am very old?"
But when he said this, Lin Ke was suddenly startled, and then said with horror: "Wait! Birthday gift!? Are you really... I'm going..."
Seeing Lin Ke like this, Princess Lika grinned: "Hehe, you are the smartest!"
Oh my god!
Lin Ke's eyes widened: "The earl was not given by Emperor Wu Mian, but you said it yourself? So is it a lie that he will come to support within two months? Is it also a lie that he wants to have a full-scale war with the Everglades? There is also the matter of the fiefdom. ?”
Sister, are you pretending to preach the imperial edict? !
Lin Ke now wants to jump down from here and fall to his death.
Rika shook her head in confusion: "No! It's all true. It's just that I gave you the earl and the fief... My father loves me very much, and so does my mother. They will definitely not mind."
The problem is, that's a lava swamp!
Such a big area?
and……
Lin Kexin mentioned it again: "Wait a minute, Your Highness Lika, we are really not suitable!"
If he found a princess as his girlfriend in his previous life, he would definitely feel quite happy.
But in Nasunga…
Please, can Lin Ke offend my father-in-law and mother-in-law with his thin arms and legs?
Don't accidentally make Lika unhappy then, Lin Ke would be slapped to death by Emperor Wumian.
"I don't care!" Princess Lika tilted her head and didn't listen to Lin Ke at all.
Lin Ke rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "Lika, what about Butler Curry..."
"Oh, him? He has been sent to find my father. He is faster than Kuku." Rika said, taking out two pieces of sour milk cake from the space ring to eat, and asked casually: "That's right. , How soon will the 'Wonderful Land' be played again? Has Xiao Leis tamed the strange fire?"
Lin Ke: (?_?)
Sister, this is war...
Xiao Lei is the protagonist of Lin Ke's play "The Snake Ring".
The current chapter is about him taming Qinglian's inner fire.
The question is when is it now...
Is it time for you to catch up on reading? Want to hit someone.
By the way, do you still need to ask the question of whether you have tamed the alien fire? This is unclear...
In order to avoid his own myocardial infarction, Lin Ke quickly got rid of Lika and went to the wall again.
By the way, Laplace was also sent away to find Knicks and his followers.
Time is running out.
At this time, everyone has gathered!
