Chapter 620: call

Conquer the first year of the king.
There is no unified calendar in the whole world of Sur, and the first thing that Wu Ming is deeply confused after he took office is to issue decrees, formulate new years, and have unified measures.
This set of years is called the 'new calendar', starting with the last day of the winter that he started the king, also known as the new year.
In the first year of the new calendar, under the call of King William Wallace I, the blue blood nobles of the entire Fengying Plain, as well as the free people, mercenaries, and even the wild people, began to retaliate against the aggression before the highlands. Counterattack.
Nearly 20,000 troops passed through the Eagle Canyon Death Valley and plunged into the highlands.
Along with them, there are a lot of single-person adventurers, volunteer mercenaries who want to get a good title, and small businessmen who are just for the sake of making a fortune.
The torrent of blue rushing and rushing, brought a terrible disaster to the highlands.
In the first year of the new calendar, in March, the army that conquered the king came to the Great Rock City in the east of the highland. The guardian of this place was the Earl of Kyle Wellington. He refused to surrender the surrender of the king's messenger and declared: 'Every inch here The land belongs to the highland people, and the blue blood rolls back to the plains! ’
The messenger who conquered William was still polite: "Your actions will bring war, your people will betray you, cheer for my king, and put your head on the spear!"
The violent Earl of Kyle cut off one of the messenger's ears and put him back.
The conquering king who got the news immediately began to attack the city. It was only a round of gunfire. The seemingly indestructible wall of Boulder City suddenly appeared several gaps. A large number of troops poured in from the gap, and the whole giant rock city began to riot.
Those people did not fight for the Earl of Kel as their lords said, but they shouted the slogan of "Peace, don't shoot!", poured into the lord's room, and caught the unprepared Earl of Kyle. Come out and dedicate to the Conqueror.
The seemingly indestructible Boulder City surrendered to the Conquering King in a day.
At this point, the opening of the highland east gateway is equivalent to opening the door to the army of the conquering king.
Earl of Kyle is known for his stubborn character and is like granite.
Even though he had completely failed and was tied to the Conquering King, he also proudly held his head: "The king of foreign aggression, you can hang me, even cut my head and insert it on the spear, but the Highlander The resistance will never stop."
Conquering the king, he smiled and shook his head. After cutting off the two ears of Earl Kyle as a disciplinary, he gave him two choices kindly.
Either continue to cut off the head, put it in the gift box and send it to Lionheart City, or surrender it, kneel in front of the great conquering king, choose to swear allegiance, and kiss the land under his feet.
Earl Kyle was so impassioned, but when he was really cut off his ears, the scene and severe pain immediately made him cry, immediately kneeling and kissing to conquer the land in front of the king and chose to yield.
To this end, the Conquering King generously retained Kyle's title, but only reduced to the Baron, and deprived him of the sovereignty of the Stone City, divided into other heroes.
With the map of the Book of the Sage, after the occupation of Boulder City, the Conquering King did not stop at all. In addition to leaving the necessary army to guard the back road and the grain road, the army immediately rushed to the Lion Heart City.
He issued a decree that any aristocrat who surrendered before the arrival of the army could retain the original title and seal, otherwise these rights would belong to the first person who laid them down.
This decree came out, coupled with the previous propaganda, many small aristocrats immediately expressed their surrender to the conquering king.
Of course, there is also resolute resistance, but before Wu Ming arrives, they are overthrown by their own family members, or mercenary groups. The original mud legs lived in the castle of the nobles and acquired their land, wealth, and women... ... It’s a dream and I can’t imagine life.
In order to maintain their current status, they must firmly support the Conquest of the King and win the battle against the Highlands!
The whole highland suddenly became a pot of porridge.
In this haze, the Blue Dragon flag slowly approached Lionheart City, the home base of the Wellington family, the core of the entire highland.
......
In the Lionheart City, in the Chamber of the Wellington family, many well-dressed aristocrats can no longer maintain their own demeanor.
Their faces rose red, and they clashed angrily, complaining about their misfortunes and sufferings, and angering each other's inaction and fainting.
In this kind of mutual excuse, with a kind of deep fear, the Grand Duke of Wellington in the Lord is very helpless.
A few months ago, he was still a good-looking middle-aged man, and he might even become the king of the New Principality. But now, his hair is full of white hair, and there are many wrinkles on his forehead, obviously a pair of old-fashioned appearances.
It seems that Arthur’s capture, and the bad news that followed, have dealt a big blow to him.

How many people are we still there?

The Duke of Wellington asked in a low voice.
"We have gathered all the troops in the territory and urgently recruited all the civilians over the age of 16 to join the army, plus the mercenary group and the adventurers, it is not a problem to make up 50,000 people!"
A fat aristocrat stood up and said.
Even so, they don’t have much happiness on their faces.
After all, most of these 50,000 people are only farmers, and the regular trained soldiers are not even able to reach 9000.
"The Celtic family, the Liszt family, and the reinforcements promised by the Allier family?"
The Duke of Wellington frowned.
These families, which had already been conquered by Arthur’s army, recognized the Wellington family as their prince and lord, and had the obligation to fight for troops.
But with the spread of bad news, those wall grasses began to waver again.
However, in this kind of need to resolutely suppress, the Wellington family lost the absolute force comparison because of Arthur’s defeat, and the army’s army stepped and forced them to not only be on the newly conquered land. Increasing the soldiers to maintain the rule, but have to withdraw the elite.
As a result, the suppressed locals began to look up.
After all, with the accumulation and heritage of the aristocratic family for thousands of years, the network of relationships in the local area is inextricably linked. Unless all the people are killed, it is impossible to clean up completely.
"they……"
The fat man suddenly paused, and that kind of demeanor immediately let the Duke of Wellington know the result.
"damn it!"
When the Duke of Wellington made a conference table, the air in the whole room seemed to be shocked: "I decided that it is impossible to fight the conquerors with the current highlands. We need reinforcements, reinforcements from the storm corner!"
"Wellon, you are the messenger, go to the storm corner immediately, find their biggest storm tribe chief, tell him... As long as he comes to help me, I will give them the ice city of the North!"
Grand Duke of Wellington closed his eyes in pain and said in a loud voice.
In the view of all the nobles in the Seir continent, although the storm angle is vast, it is synonymous with barbarism and barrenness. Don't say that it is quite backward compared with the highland, and the natural environment is extremely bad.
In the past, in order to cope with the spontaneous looting of the barbarians every winter, the princes of the highlands and the Fengying Plain had to invest a large amount of troops in their respective north.
Now, the Duke of Wellington has personally opened up the Highlands to them.
"The Ice City has always been a barrier against the invasion of the Storm Samurai. Once the Ice City is easy to change, then our Highlands will be exposed to the swords of the Storm Warriors at any time! I oppose!"
A side-runner of the Wellington family immediately stood up and asked aloud: "Duke of Wellington, what do you want to do?"
"I just want to keep the family and let our glory continue!"
The Duke of Wellington crossed his hands and put them on the table: "The storm warriors and the chiefs only need our food, iron, and women, salt... but from the plains of the wind, the greedy dragon, ask for It’s everything about us!

Although he explained one sentence, his heart was even more exhausted.
By the time of this life and death, the internal fighting in the family continued, which really made him too disappointed.
"Conqueror William?"
After rushing to the resolution, after the family meeting, Wellington returned to the study and muttered the name.
His hands began to tremble unconsciously, as if the name contained magic.
If the conqueror does not have any strange magic, how can he defeat him invincible, the son who has the sword of the king?
The Duke adults slowly walked in the study, and after a long time, they finally made up their minds.
He licked his lips and came to a bookshelf, took out a black cover, a dusty book, and opened it to the last page.
In the center of this page, there is an empty slot, in which is a black card with a purple mandala flower blooming with a mysterious taste.
In the study, the doors and windows were closed, and the thick curtains were pulled up to cover all the light. The four sides suddenly fell into a dark, only the light on the black card became more dazzling.
"With my blood, call my contractor, come on!"
The Duke took out a golden dagger and cut his finger, letting the red blood drop on the card, and the mouth was picking up a low call, like a mysterious spell.
"Duke of the Lord!"
A purple mist of fog emerged from the card, the mandala flower above it slowly bloomed, the glare of the enchanting light, the mist, a cloak man looming, bowed to the Duke: "Hearing the news of conquering the king After that, I know that this day is coming! Everything is under the watchful eyes of the Lord of Shadows!"
The Duke of Wellington looked at this magical scene, but in his heart it was a bit cold, and immediately bit his teeth: "I want William Wallace's life!"
"As you wish!"
