Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"There are four thousand knights in total." The knight commander added, his eyes were serious.

With Lucia's financial resources, these four thousand knights are definitely well-equipped, and they also have the strongest horses.

"Four thousand knights? So many people?" Qiao Sen stared and exclaimed directly.

"That's the fact. Some of these knights were recruited from those nobles." Red Deacon said solemnly.

"The total number of people on our side is just over 4,000. Some of them don't have horses, and even weapons are barely enough." Qiao Sen frowned.

He didn't expect Lucia to be so ruthless, and he sent four thousand knights directly, which made him think whether he should reconsider the cooperation with the second prince.

"We are trying to solve the problem of war horses. We originally wanted to buy some from Puro, but who knows that his tribe has been taken over by orcs now." Red Deacon's eyes were gloomy...

The first time Pu Luo refused to sell the war horse, he wanted to discuss it again when he came back, who would have thought that when he went for the second time, he learned that Pu Luo's territory had been occupied by orcs.

"Those humble orcs come here to spoil my good deeds again and again." Greener said coldly, if he hadn't faced the eldest prince now, he would have adjusted his troops and directly attacked the orc territory.

"In the final analysis, the issue of the war horse is still not resolved." Qiao Sen's face darkened again, and he began to doubt the promise that Deacon Hong made before.

The so-called noble title and a city are only useful if the other party can sit on the throne, otherwise everything is empty talk.

"Can we use a draft horse instead?" Greener asked suddenly.

The knight commander, Qiao Sen, and the red deacon turned their heads to stare at the second prince, as if they were looking at the mentally retarded.

They didn't know what the second prince was thinking, and they could figure out such a bad idea. Although the draft horse and the war horse were both horses, they couldn't be compared at all.

Although the endurance of a draft horse is better than that of a war horse, it is not as fast, explosive and flexible as a war horse. Moreover, an untrained draft horse is undoubtedly looking for a dead end. Whether it is running away or chasing, it will be easily overtaken by the war horse.

"..." Seeing the eyes of everyone, Greener knew that what he said was wrong, but there was no other way at present.

Deacon Hong's face was sullen, and he became more and more dissatisfied with Greener in his heart.

1.8 "Everyone, we have no way out now. We are about to start preparing for the battle. There are at most three days before Lucia will start again. It will be time for the decisive battle." The knight commander said in a deep voice.

There is hesitation in Qiao Sen's eyes. The gap between the two sides is not small. If there is a war, the possibility of losing is 70%.

"There is no chance to quit. Don't forget whose territory this is." Red Deacon turned to stare at Qiao Sen, seeing the hesitation in his eyes.

Qiao Sen's face became extremely ugly, which was a threat to himself.

Obviously this is Yalin City, which belongs to the second prince's territory. If he repents, he may not even be able to get out of the city gate.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"One more, (￣▽￣). I went out today, sorry, just came back."

Chapter 839 Unify the Kingdom?

"..." Qiao Sen's face was gloomy, and he stopped talking because he knew that he had no choice.

What's more, if the pirates want to become nobles in the Kingdom of Yingluo, they really can only rely on the second prince. Otherwise, if the eldest prince wins, the first thing to do is to encircle and suppress the pirates.

"Guys, I have a suggestion, which may increase the chance of victory by 20%." The knight commander pondered for a while, then suddenly looked up at Greener Road.

"Say it!" Greener pressed the armrest of the chair tightly with his hands.

The rest of the people also looked at the knight commander.

"Since the strength between us and Lucia is too different, then we can only defend and stick to Yalin City." The knight commander said in a deep voice, tapping his fingers on the table, making a "da da da..." sound.

"This..." Everyone present thought about it. Originally, they thought that the eldest prince would not bring too many knights, but now it was beyond their expectations.

"If we fight head-to-head 23, we have little chance of winning." The knight commander stared at Greener and continued, "Your Highness must have thought of this reason."

"However, the food in this city can't support so many people to defend Yalin City. It can only last for a month at most." Red Deacon said solemnly.

"Yeah, food is a big problem." Greener put his hand on his forehead, feeling very troubled.

"Don't worry about this, Lucia will take a little time to rest in Gennaro City, and it will take two days from Gennaro City to Yalin City, so we have at least three more days to go to other places. The city mobilizes food." The big knight analyzed.

When Greener and the others heard the words, their eyes lit up. It seemed that this method could be used. It was enough to go to the nearest city to collect grain in these days, and those disobedient nobles and grain merchants would all become targets.

But in this way, those merchants and nobles are ten thousand unhappy.

But isn't it useful to be happy? The answer is no, facing the knights of the second prince, they cannot resist.

"This method is good. There are three cities closest to us, and the soldiers are divided into three groups. Three or four days is just enough time to go back and forth." A smile appeared on the corner of Hong Deacon's mouth. This method is currently the best method.

"Since this is the case, let's act now, those civilians should also contribute." Greener urged, with madness in his eyes.

Hearing Greener's words, the knight commander frowned. He wanted to snatch those civilians together. He opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

"Yes." The knight commander said in a deep voice, and left the conference hall without looking back, and went to mobilize the knights to prepare for departure.

"Your Excellency Qiao Sen, I hope you can send some companions to go with us." The red deacon looked at Qiao Sen and said calmly.

"Yes." Qiao Sen pondered for a moment, then nodded, but the dark color on his face became more and more gloomy.

What the other party meant was that they were afraid that if all the pirates stayed in the city, it would be bad for the rest of the people. After all, nearly two thousand pirates came this time.

If the second prince sent most of the knights out to collect food, then the number of knights staying in the city would be less than the number of pirates, which would easily cause problems.

"Then I'll have to work." Red Deacon sneered, with calculations in his eyes.

"Hmph!" Qiao Sen snorted coldly, got up and left.

"Lucia, let's see who can have the last laugh." Greener leaned on the back of the chair and whispered to himself.

The red deacon on the side lowered his head, hearing Greener's words, a sarcasm flashed in his eyes, he was not optimistic about the second prince.

 …………

At this time, in the castle of Gennaro City, two days away from Yalin City, Lucia, Deacon No. 3, Grand Knight Benson, Duke Daniel and others were discussing matters.

It is normal for Grand Knight Benson to accompany him to the battle as the Grand Knight Commander, but Daniel was completely forced by Lucia to bring him along, so he is afraid of ten thousand if he is not afraid of it.

For Lucia, the Grand Knight of Benson, Daniel, the newly promoted Duke, had them stay by his side and be seen most at ease.

"Your Majesty, I suggest taking a rest for a few days, and wait for the knights to fully recover before going to battle in Yalin City." Benson said in a deep voice.

"Yeah." Lucia nodded. Everyone was very tired from the journey during this time, and they needed to rest for a few days, and the logistics food hadn't arrived yet, so it was unrealistic to go to war right now.

Daniel secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and finally he could rest for a while. During this period of time, he was on the road. Although he was staying in the carriage, the bumps along the way made his body almost fall apart, and even his forehead was hit by the bumps. A big bag came out, and it hasn't disappeared yet.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that after the rest, the surrounding cities should be recovered first, so as to cut off Greener's retreat." The third deacon suggested.

"Well, it can be done like this." The great knight Benson nodded, agreed with the suggestion of the third deacon, and said, "This will completely cut off Grenard's supplies, even if he escapes, he will have nowhere to go."
