Chapter 230: Easy to win the hearts of the people

After the meeting, the noble lords dispersed.

"Congratulations, Your Excellencies, two Viscounts."

Simon, Mers and Tafman walked side by side, and he congratulated with a smile on his face.

"Hehe... Viscount Simon, please stop teasing us. This time, we lost a lot of money and almost lost our lives.

The Viscount sounds nice, but it was all bought with blood. I lost half of my troops...

Ravens, the turtle grandson, don't let him get into my hands, or I will chop off his head with a knife! "Tuffman said with mixed feelings.

"False fame is not as good as real wealth, Viscount Simon, you have both benefits and fame, man, I envy you!"

Mers shook his head and continued with a sad face.

"No matter where there is..."

A few people chatted for a while, then each led their troops and left.

In a blink of an eye, half a month later.

The Green Forest Brotherhood pressed forward again, and the Sword Legion and some Lords' armies fought with them for more than a dozen times.

Win more and lose less.

But there seems to be an endless supply of soldiers from the Green Forest Brotherhood, and they can be replenished quickly after they die.

And when they fight, their eyes are red and they are not afraid of death.

Although the individual's strength is average, just like an ordinary person, it is difficult to deal with the crazy one.

Simon sensed something was wrong. These soldiers looked like they were from refugees in terms of their clothing and weapons, but they were too strong-willed to fight.

As if they didn't know what the word "death" was, a bunch of men in linen clothes, carrying inferior spears, piled up and dared to attack the array of armored soldiers.

"Kill!!"

Today, Simon came to the front line again to inspect, watching thousands of green forest bandit troops rushing over desperately.

"Is this taking medicine?? It's definitely taking medicine!"

Simon frowned and looked at it. At this time, there were more than 300 people left in the vanguard group. They were still serving as a group of dead soldiers and were at the front.

They have experienced several brutal battles and have truly become a sharp-edged team.

More than three hundred people killed thousands of drug-addicted refugee soldiers, leaving nothing behind.

"Mailan, Ailei, we can't fight this battle. We need to clean up. I think it's time for His Highness Segel to retreat.

There are already less than 9,000 soldiers in the Sword Legion. If they continue to fight, they will have no leverage. Simon ordered.

Several days passed in a flash.

On this day, three armies of earl lords came from the west, as well as a regular army of the kingdom, the Lionheart Army stationed in the forest valley.

They received the news and knew that the Green Forest Brotherhood and other thieves were related to the Holy Spirit Church, so they did not dare to neglect and came with a large army to support them.

Originally, the kingdom had three regular legions in Lingu, two of which were sent to West Gedi to suppress bandits.

At this time, they were trapped in a quagmire, and they were inextricably linked to the Qihuo Army.

Originally, this last garrison was to intimidate the local area and could not be mobilized under any circumstances.

But now the situation is really urgent and we must stop moving.

One of the princes is dead, and the Green Forest Brotherhood must be wiped out.

"His Royal Highness Segel has an order! All the nobles of West Cedi return to their territories to rest, and the war here will be taken over by the Lionheart Army!"

The herald came on horseback to deliver military orders.

Simon was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "Mailan, Ailei! Get ready, the whole army will set off, and return to Yong Yi's leadership!"

"Yes! Sir!" They also laughed and took the order.

After fighting for so long, everyone was really tired, the army was demoralized, and food and grass were insufficient.

They bought them from the military grain merchants, but most of the other nobles and even the Sword Legion borrowed them from fellow villagers.

This caused great anger and resentment, many villages were burned down, and the free people were miserable.

Simon saw the opportunity and donated part of his food, thus winning the favor of many people.

Many people who had lost their villages came here because of the reputation and camped together outside the military camp.

At this time, the people saw that the soldiers were all taking action and tearing down their tents. Knowing that they were leaving, they couldn't help but become restless.

They gathered outside the military camp with worried expressions on their faces.

"Lord Viscount! Those free people are standing on both sides of the camp gate, which is affecting our access. Do you want to disperse them?"

At this time, Airei found Simon and reported.

"Disperse!? That's not possible, they are all my babies.

It's a pity that the days are too short, otherwise I would have brought back 30 to 50 thousand people.

Okay, bring all the people back to the Valorous Territory. You have escorted slaves. You have experience in this matter, so you will be responsible. Simon ordered.

"Yes! Sir! But the food we carry is not enough to feed so many people..."

"It doesn't matter, just give them rye porridge every day.

The people in the Long Narrow Collar had a pretty good life before and were in good health. A bowl of porridge a day was enough to last them until they reached the Brave Collar.

I'll go with you. Simon said with a faint smile.

"Yes! Lord Viscount!" Ai Lei also laughed and followed him out of the tent.

After a while, Simon came to the crowd of people and scanned the crowd.

He cleared his throat and shouted: "I am Viscount Simon Hollen of the Valorous Territory!

Promise to you here! Those men who are willing to bravely lead us away from the war will be allocated three acres of land! The woman is allocated two acres of land!

Tax-free for the first year! And only 40% of taxes will be collected within twenty years..."

"Yes! We are willing!!"

"Great benevolent lord! Thanks to you, my son did not starve to death... Wuwuwu..."

"Master Simon! May you live a long life!!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!!!" The people gradually shouted, and the sound waves attacked all directions, shaking the world.

Many lords' camps heard the movement and came out to see.

Even Prince Seger, who was five or six miles away, heard it.

"What's going on!? Another untouchable rebellion!?" He walked out of the tent with a sword and shouted with a face full of anger.

"Your Highness, it seems to be Viscount Simon's side. It doesn't seem to be a rebellion. They are shouting long live!"

"Long live? Who long live?"

"Maybe Viscount Simon..." The Royal Guard Knight was not sure.

"Go and ask! It's so noisy, let them quiet down!" Prince Seger frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

"Yes! Please wait a moment, Your Highness!" The Royal Guard Knight ran over immediately.

After a while, Delvin, the new commander of the Sword Legion, followed the knight.

"Your Highness, Viscount Simon should want to take those people on the road together, and those untouchables were excited for a while, so they shouted."

The Royal Guard Knight reported.

"Oh! A fellow born of a lowly family can't really become a noble! He only knows how to hang out with the mud legs.

Don't worry about him for now, the most important thing is to rush to Changxiang City as quickly as possible!

I hope the legacy left by my stupid brother can surprise me... Hey, my sister-in-law is in Changxiang City, right?"

Segel thought and laughed obscenely.

"Your Highness, I think Viscount Simon is ambitious. We must guard against him and make plans early, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."

Deldi frowned and advised.

"Haha! What ambition does a lowly person who raises horses have!

Afterwards, I found a random reason to demote his title.

Let him bring his wife to my castle and continue to raise horses!

Do your duty well, don't make alarmist remarks in front of me!" Segel scolded.

"Yes! Your Highness! I worry too much!" Hearing this, Deldi sighed in his heart, but admitted his mistake obediently.
