Lord of War

Because of the joining of Florence, Sean's side's high-end combat power is suddenly abundant.

Even though he knows that these people are not under his command, in the current situation, even if it is the Sanctuary powerhouse who makes a move, as long as it is not above the middle Sanctuary, even if there are two lower Sanctuary powerhouses, Xiao En will have a fight. Powerful.

That half-level sanctuary powerhouse whose strength is hardly inferior to Christina, as long as Xuefanio blesses him with magic, he will almost have the power to fight against ordinary low-level sanctuary powerhouses. It's hard to say if he can win, but at least he won't be inferior. Among the remaining people, there are Dante and another burly man who is not inferior to Dante in strength at all, plus Cefanio, who is second only to the half-step sanctuary, the three of them Coupled with Xuefanio's magical cooperation, it is not a problem to challenge another ordinary low-level sanctuary powerhouse.

But in this way, there are only four low-rank gold powerhouses left on Xiao En's side. Although the number is a little smaller, their combat power is at least equal to six ordinary low-rank gold powerhouses, or two high-rank gold powerhouses.

This high-end combat power has reached a level that cannot be ignored.

As for the military strength, Sean has 30,000 troops, while Tin Qiyin's side has 60,000, double that of Sean's. It's just that in terms of generals, Xiao En has William and Mensuo, while the opponent has only Domingo, and he is not a well-known excellent general in the mainland.

We must know that a good general can make up for the gap of tens of thousands of troops without saying a word.

What's more, in the ranking of excellent generals, Mensuo is still in the first watershed. As long as he is given elite soldiers, at least he can devise a strategy that can make up for the gap between 20,000 and 30,000 troops. Not to mention William, who is still ranked above Mensuo, so in fact, whether there is Mensuo or not, Sean did not pay attention to the battle led by Tin Qiyin from the very beginning.

Besides, the reason why Domingo had an extra 30,000 troops was because this force was Dabiang's Second Cavalry Regiment of the Kingdom.

This is a cavalry regiment composed purely of light cavalry. Under Domingo's training, this cavalry regiment is said to be best at tactics such as raids, harassment, rushing aid, and flank charges.

If it is in a regular war, this cavalry regiment can indeed cause a lot of trouble and trouble to the enemy, basically it can contain an equal number of regiments. Only used in the war with Sean, this corps is not as effective as imagined.

Because Sean's troop composition is relatively simple.

As the three legions with the most troops in the territory today, except for the city defense army that does not participate in the battle, the Iron Wings are all heavy infantry regiments, and one-third of the Thunder Lions are heavy infantry, and the remaining two-thirds are equipped. A mixed force of infantry and archers with medium shields.

If these two units were placed on the flanks, Dabihan's Second Cavalry Regiment would be abolished in half.

It's just that even though that's the case, in fact, the army preparing to go out this time is only more than 10,000 people.

The Infantry Cavalry Regiment like Altdorf, Stalin's First Infantry Regiment, and Knock's Second Infantry Regiment must continue to sit in the Chirav Territory to prevent the invasion of the two surrounding territories; and the three thousand soldiers promised to Florence The soldiers will definitely stay in Dayi this time to prevent the counterattack of Tinchi, but in order to integrate these two troops into the Florentine system as soon as possible, their commander has already been given over to Mensuo.

As for the Red Leaf Town Militia and the Void City Defense Force, of course there is no need to mention it.

So actually,

The army that went out this time only consisted of five troops: Steel Wings, Thunder Lions, Black Wings, First Cavalry Regiment, Cecilia's Guards, and 3,000 Steel Wings Reserves, totaling 16,000 troops.

With only this little force, the disparity between the 60,000 troops led by Ting Qi can be imagined.

But if wars can only be distinguished by apparent strength, then there will be no wars in this world long ago.

However, despite all the preparations, Sean still didn't start the war immediately. At this time, three days had passed since the deadline for the declaration of war he issued to Domingo. In other words, the one-month deadline for declaring war has long since ended, and Domingo has already prepared what he should have prepared, but Sean has not launched an attack at this time. Sean is not only slapping himself in the face, but also causing Asuna to lose her reputation.

After all, Sean is the pioneer knight under Asuna's command, his! All actions represent Asuna at the same time.

But in the eyes of many nobles, Sean's behavior is normal.

Because, he is not a nobleman!

If you are not an aristocrat, you are not eligible to declare war.

This reason alone is enough to explain everything.

If Sean dares to start a war by force, it would be tantamount to provoking the nobles of the entire world, not to mention the nobles of the Kingdom of Darbion, even the nobles of the Principality of Ryan would never agree, even if the enemy Sean attacked was against them The vengeful Darbion. Because all nobles are obliged to maintain the dignity and honor of the noble circle, only in this way can they enjoy the power given to them by the nobles, which is the obligation and power handed down from the ancient noble law.

Is it just Sean who cares about this?

The reason why he didn't send troops at this moment was purely because of the urgent message sent by Asuna.

In the communication, Asuna has made it clear that she has given Sean the status of a baron, and from this moment he is an official nobleman. It's just that it's just a greeting in advance. Vivienne has sent him the relevant supporting documents and materials. Before the materials are delivered, she hopes that Sean will not be too impulsive. After all, he has the status of a baron. Sending troops again without a job, and becoming a baron after sending troops, this is exactly the same as two Fengs, read it.

Of course, Xiao En is also aware of this opponent.

Originally, he didn't care much about these things, but there was a more reasonable procedure, and of course Sean wouldn't mind.

After about ten days like this, when the mocking tone of Darby's nobles almost drowned the nobles of the entire Ryan Principality, Vivienne finally arrived at the Panda collar and sent Sean a contract documents.

The document is covered with a kind of leathered animal skin, and the inside is polished parchment.

Although the workmanship doesn't look very delicate, but a knowledgeable person can tell at a glance that both the cover and the paper are exclusive items for nobles. All this proves that the origin of this document is not something that ordinary people can own. Although it looks simple and simple, this document is also worthy of Sean's baron status. Of course he knows that if he can be promoted to viscount, then the cover of this document will be covered with a layer of gold. The higher the imperial title, the more gorgeous the document will be.

As for the content of the document, Sean actually didn't need to read it at all, because it recorded the official recognition of Sean's legal status as a baron.

This means that Sean has officially left Asuna's protection, and is no longer her subordinate, but has entered the same system as her.

The aristocratic system that countless people sharpen their heads and want to enter.

Of course, in fact, the aristocratic system also has a distinction between the old and the new, and this is the same even in the Principality of Ryan.

For Asuna to break away from the old Evans family and set up a family of her own, this is actually an act of betrayal in the aristocratic circle. Although from a standpoint, Asuna belongs to the faction of the emerging nobles, Sean knows that Asuna and the emerging nobles are not in harmony. The main reason is that Asuna is too strong, and the camp of the emerging nobles Even if all the people in here add up, they can't suppress her, and it's hard to even sit on an equal footing.

And the aristocratic circle was originally such a group. Since they couldn't hold together, they could only be excluded.

As for the veteran nobles, it is because Asuna's betrayal of leaving the old Evans family is the most shameful behavior for the veteran nobles, so they will never accept Asuna. It can even be said that in terms of crowding out in all aspects, the circle of established aristocrats is more ruthless than the circle of emerging aristocrats.

Now, Sean has become a nobleman, but his referee is Asuna, which means that he has been in Asuna's camp from the very beginning. Then, no matter whether it is a new aristocrat or a veteran aristocrat in the Principality of Ryan, he will definitely not accept him into the circle. And because she broke away from Asuna's protection, now on many issues, Asuna is completely unable to protect Sean, and she can't even intervene directly.

All of this was after Vivian gave the baron certificate to Sean, fearing that Sean would not know the weight of the certificate, so she relayed Asuna's words to Sean.

This point can already be seen from the fact that it was Vivienne instead of Asuna who sent the certificate this time.

But these are not the most important.

What really matters is that Sean introduces Florence to Vivienne.

Even Vivienne was shocked when she saw Florence.

Of course, what shocked her was not Florence himself, but his strength. As far as her personal strength is concerned, she is confident that she can win whether it is a one-on-one fight with Dante or a person who is similar to Dante, but if the two join forces, she will only be defeated. As for the strong man in the half-step Sanctuary, no matter how conceited Vivienne is, she is not sure of victory.

Of course, with the help of Thundering Front, Vivienne would not be afraid of the three of them teaming up.

This is the strength of an elite army.

Fortunately, apart from the fact that the second cavalry regiment is a real third-tier army under the leadership of Tin Qi, the private army under Domingo's command can only be regarded as a third-tier army at most, and it has nothing to do with the void city defense. The army is about the same. So how to deal with the Second Cavalry Regiment is the focus of this war. However, Sean does not need to worry about this issue. Anyway, he only needs to do his own thing well. William will take care of tactical and strategic matters.

However, what surprised Sean was that when Vivienne heard that Sean wanted Florence to participate in this war as a pioneer knight under Asuna, she did not hesitate. Asuna agreed. Although Xiao Si knew that Vivian, Simi, Elizabeth and others had a very good relationship with Asuna, he never thought that they were so good that they could even agree to such a thing for Asuna.

You must know that confirming the identity of a pioneer knight cannot be decided by a casual sentence, and many complicated issues are involved in it.

Especially since Florence was still named Wiles.

This surname is completely equivalent to the common surname in the ancient world in the Fascist Kingdom. Although Florence said that she had separated from the Wiles family, Sean and Vivian knew very well that Turin Wiles would never let Florence go. Yes, so as long as Florence does not get a formal knighthood, then once Turin wants to trouble Florence, it is bound to conflict with Asuna.

The Wiles family can also be regarded as a duke family in the Fascist Kingdom, and the Fascist Kingdom is different from the Darbion Kingdom. Both the Fascist Kingdom and the Wiles Family have a very strong background and strength. This point only depends on Florence It can be seen that such a team can be brought out even if they escape from despair.

Under normal circumstances, one must think carefully before making a decision. After all, is it worthwhile to offend the fascist Wiles family for the sake of Florence.

But Vivienne didn't even think about it, and directly made a decision for Asuna, and even recorded in detail Florence's soon-to-be-established family crest and related information, which really made Sean a little confused.

But no matter what, since all the excuses have been obtained, Sean definitely has no reason to continue to daze in the territory.

These days, he is really fed up with all kinds of ridicule from Dabiang.

Time to slap them loudly in the face. (To be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Group @范儿青青年] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
