The Earldom of Boda is not big. It is a plain area dotted with a few hills that can barely be called highlands. Two small rivers pass through the territory. The fertile land here means that more people can be supported. The population, if not for the war, would have been more prosperous than the Viscount Bain territory.
In terms of blood relationship, Count Boda of this generation should be considered cousins to His Majesty the King. However, as soon as the Cecilia people came over, he unceremoniously sold his cousin and joined his cousin's enemies obediently. Therefore, both the territorial population and personal titles and wealth were preserved.
One of the motives why Old Tibbs proposed to attack Earl Boda was that in addition to his territory being very close to Cassian, there was also the fact that this county was relatively unaffected by the war. The Earl was very rich, so he could conquer this place. Make good money.
Whether it is the royal army or the army of the Principality of Zeon, from the two supreme commanders to the laborers who feed the horses and wash the dishes, they all perfectly follow the rules prevailing on this continent. They are never paid a dime. In a sense , they are all volunteers who work hard to help the King of Estilia out of pure obligation.
Since the king does not pay, and the two commanders do not pay, the condition for the army to continue to work is that it can be self-sufficient with confidence, whether it is looting food and grass or killing people and setting fires, it is secondary. Once the enemy's city is conquered, then the people in the city will Everything will be the object of robbery by the army, and it will also be the main source of rewards for the soldiers by the king and nobles.Especially the castles of nobles, which means a lot of money, cloth, horses, and beautiful lord's wives or lord's mistresses. For nobles or soldiers, these are the things they are most passionate about.
So why does Kress IV feel restless all day long and engage in domestic politics? He goes out to fight, and the country praises him to the sky. There is no way, he can always win, and winning means that he can let the country go to war. The Silians can safely rob other people's wealth and take it back to their wives and children in their hometown, and the nobles can also expand their territory and population. Who wouldn't like such a king.If he always loses the battle and the object of robbery is the Cecilia themselves, then the situation will be different.
Old Tibbs also wanted to use Earl Boda's money to boost the morale of his subordinates and improve his favorability among the nobles. Unfortunately, Earl Boda was not stupid. As soon as he heard that the Kingdom's troops were all over the mountains and plains, he charged towards them with great momentum. His own territory came over. He looked at the hundreds of soldiers and generals under his command, and then looked at the small castle. Without saying a word, he sent an envoy to express his willingness to abandon the dark side and return to the embrace of the people of Estilia. Such a move that understands current affairs. Let old Tibes's wishful thinking come to nothing.
Although the Earl of Boda was captured without bloodshed, the problem is that now that Earl Boda has become his ally, the rewards expected to be obtained through robbery after capturing the city are gone. Food for the [-]-strong army has not yet been provided. In order to not be able to After starving the army, Baron Halga and hundreds of his men were given important tasks by Old Tibes.
The task is no different from before. Find all the villages in the entire Boda territory, collect food on the spot, or guide them to "voluntarily" send food to the coalition camp.
After Baron Halga issued the order, hundreds of soldiers were skillfully divided into several different teams, and they carried out all kinds of popular burning, killing and looting in Count Boda's territory.
In one day, the entire village in the Earl of Boda was in bad luck. Seeing the soldiers returning happily with bottles of chicken, duck, cattle and sheep, Flynn couldn't help but ask his teacher, "Let's just rob like this." Will he have any objections to Earl Boda’s territory?”
Baron Halga was very happy that he could successfully complete the task assigned by Old Tibes, and he patiently answered Flynn's questions.
"The earl won't be offended. Did we rob his castle? We just collected food and fodder for the army. Of course he won't be offended."
Well, it seems to be the familiar argument that civilians are not human again, but it is more clear that not only civilians are not human, but also everyone outside the lord's castle is not human. If he hadn't beaten Luo in the first place, Sir Lei's retinue is just a commoner in his territory. Sir Luo Lei probably can't use this as an excuse to find fault with himself.
"Nobles cannot be offended. It's good that you can think of this." Baron Halga, who was in a good mood, misunderstood Flynn's original intention and continued to give him instructions, "As long as you always keep this in mind, you will also become a qualified Of nobility."
Flynn laughed dryly and expressed his gratitude to his teacher for his careful teaching.
I still can't change my certain mentality as a time traveler. Even when I faced the unfortunate woman before, I tried my best to be hard-hearted and didn't even think about sending someone to investigate and avenge the woman's injustice. However, I was still criticized by my followers. .Some feel sorry that Flynn should not have let the woman go and given her a sum of money in the first place. After the woman died, the money would naturally be cheaper. Who knows who hanged her? Others are worried that someone might use her as a spy. He made a fuss about his identity and caused trouble for Flynn.No one thinks that there is any problem with the woman's death. This may be where the gap lies.
Even now, the soldiers are beating and kicking the old farmers who are begging not to take away the seeds that they need to make a living in the coming year, and they are ruthlessly torturing all the civilian women from the 99th to the just barely able to walk. Before leaving, he took everything he could and threw a few torches on the thatched roofs of some disobedient houses. Flynn could do nothing but watch.
He was just a lonely person. Even if he had several followers who obeyed his orders, he would not dare to stand up for justice in front of Baron Halga.Moreover, even if he did this, his followers would be dissatisfied with his nosy behavior just like the woman he saved before.
With the world being like this, Flynn could only continue to pretend to be blind and ignore the hateful looks projected by the villagers.At most, I can comfort myself that the world is like this. If these unlucky guys are to blame, they can only blame their lords for not treating them as human beings.
Fortunately, this tangle ended quickly, and Baron Halga's food collection carnival was canceled within a few days.It wasn't that enough food and grass had been collected, but the news came from the sentries going south. Claes IV had learned that the territory of Earl Boda had been captured, and an unknown Secilia army was coming here.
It seemed that Old Tibes's plan had failed. Cleese IV did not choose to immediately attack Erfurt, which had opened a passage. Instead, it was more prudent to eliminate the hidden dangers in the north and ensure his own retreat. Safety.Medieval White Elf Story
