MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 613 :mutiny

The gate of the castle opened with a bang, and the soldiers of the new army marched neatly, showing the posture of a winner, and entered the castle majestically.

Simon, Harris and others went one step ahead and came to the castle hall to convene the lord's discussion, leaving Alyosha and Garken to guard the army.

"Grandfather, Marquis Simon's army has entered the castle!" The eldest grandson Roque quickly bandaged the wound of Earl Rosen, who was seriously injured.

"Well, I hope the loss will be smaller." Earl Rosen sighed helplessly.

As the winning side, the soldiers must loot part of the spoils. This is an eternal rule, and he has become accustomed to it.

In the past, the Rosen family fought with the orcs who landed along the coast, and the orcs didn't have enough oil and water, so they often had to pay for the soldiers themselves.

Fighting desperately, if there is no huge profit, the soldiers will soon mutiny.

"Father, Marquis Simon called us for a meeting." Boyan said as he entered the room.

"Well, I see." Earl Rosen nodded calmly, not dissatisfied with this, because this is the power of the boss.

From the moment Simon defeated the Rosen family, he became the boss of the southern lord.

In normal times, they have to listen to the boss and unite with the boss to create benefits. If there are disobedient children, they will be suppressed by everyone.

This is the characteristic of regional forces!

Of course, if there is any trouble that cannot be resolved, the boss must come forward to solve it, otherwise what is the point of recognizing the boss?

 …

In the castle hall, Simon was talking with a group of lords.

"I think everyone is very clear on which side the new French leader is on. Now that His Majesty is newly enthroned, I only have one request for the southern border, and that is to absolutely support the king's decision." Simon sat at the head of the hall without hesitation, looking at the sparsely populated area below. The fallen lord said.

The southern lords are divided into three parts, the Gelug Mountains on the east, the southern coast, and the western coast. There are more than 60 private lords in total.

The hinterland of the southern border is the prince of the royal family and belongs to the king.

This time when Simon provoked a private war, the lord of the Gru Mountains chose to wait and see. The southern and western coasts still chose to support the Rosen family according to tradition.

But because of the distance, the lords on the southern coast only sent their retainers to lead some private troops, led by the eldest Earl Chanel on the southern coast, to support Earl Rosen.

Some stingy lords did not even send private troops, but only provided material support.

The lords on the west coast basically sent private troops, but only half of the lords actually came in person, that is, the dozen or so in the hall now.

These lords have a close relationship with the Rosen family, and the interests of the family have long been firmly tied together.

It can be said that their union with the Rosen family is the core layer of the original order in the southern border.

Now that Simon wants to quickly rectify the southern border, the best choice is to squeeze the Rosen family at the core to the periphery.

That is to say, change the soup without changing the medicine, except for the most core Rosen family, they still rely on these lords at the core level to maintain order in the southern border.

Earl Rosen limped into the hall, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.

The lords looked at him, and he also looked at the familiar chair, as well as Simon on the chair, and finally sat silently on the long table below.

Earl Rosen's sense of humor was undoubtedly a heavy blow to these lords. Many people obediently put away their small thoughts and moved their buttocks to Simon's side.

"Count Rosen, do you have anything to say about the future situation in the southern border?" Faced with Earl Rosen's resignation, Simon asked very satisfied.

What he likes most is this, defeating the opponent at once, saving the trouble of going back and forth.

Earl Rosen, who had just sat down, raised his eyebrows. He obviously didn't expect Simon to call his name directly. After thinking for a while, he replied leisurely: "I heard that Lord Marquis is a master alchemist, and Xinfaling is also selling a lot of profitable products. The land has always been poor, how about Lord Marquis leading us to settle down and become rich."

"Yes, yes, we are also very interested in the alchemy weapons that Lord Marquis equips the army. It must be able to make meritorious service in resisting the orc invasion. I wonder if Lord Marquis can provide some support?"

Following Marquis Rosen's opening, the lord on the long table also spoke in a hurry.

Why do you recognize the boss? Isn't it for the benefit? Is it because of loyalty? If you want to be the boss of the southern lord, you have to let us taste the sweetness!

When the Rosen family came to power back then, it also brought many benefits to their allies.

"This old guy!" Simon's eyelids twitched as he looked at the active lords below. These guys really weren't cheap.

Opening your mouth is going to benefit you before you have even exerted your strength!

"Well, since all the adults have spoken, then I can't just set an example."

Simon pondered: "The new method has a technology for making refined salt, and I will write it out for your reference."

In this era, refined salt is a luxury item, and it is definitely a profitable commodity. Moreover, these people's territories are basically coastal, and their technology is highly versatile.

As for weapons?

Sorry, the weapons of the new army require a strong logistics and industrial base, and you all get a bunch of fire sticks, so it's better to avoid it!

"Is the production technology of refined salt sea salt?" A lord asked with blind eyes.

"There are both sea salt and mine salt, and I will write them out in detail." Simon shrugged and replied. For a history major like him, this kind of thing is simply at his fingertips.

If these guys hang out with him dutifully, within five years, the territory will have to change drastically.

"That's right, that's really great!" The lords looked at each other thoughtfully, and it seems that there are many benefits to being with this boss!

At this moment, a person suddenly broke into the castle hall: "Simon, it's not good!"

"Bold!" The guards drew their swords and rushed over, trying to stop the **** who disturbed the lord's meeting.

"No, what's the matter?" Seeing Alyosha rushing in, Simon frowned, and he had a bad feeling.

"The new army, the soldiers of the new army rioted!" Alyosha said with difficulty, panting heavily.

"What!" Simon patted the table and stood up with an expression of disbelief.

All right, why did the soldiers riot?

The lords in the hall also looked at each other when they saw this, and all showed expressions of watching the show.

 …

Walking out of the castle hall, Simon saw a chaotic scene. Although it was a castle, under the expansion of successive lords, the castle of the Rosen family almost became a small city.

In this small city, soldiers of the new army ran around, breaking open doors and looting people.

"Where's Galken?" Simon asked sullenly.

Harris and Cirillo were by his side, and Alyosha and Galken were left by him to watch the army. Now that Alyosha came to him, he must of course ask about the situation.

"He took the soldiers who didn't riot, and he was comforting the soldiers who rioted." Alyosha hurriedly replied that the army had mutinied, which was a serious dereliction of duty.

"Send someone to call him over, as well as those soldiers who did not participate in the riot." Simon seemed a little calm at the moment.

Some things can't be seen on the surface, but it doesn't mean that they don't exist. The sudden outbreak now just makes him clear the atmosphere of the Qing army.

After a while, Galken came with the remaining soldiers, less than 2,000. Excluding the cavalry battalion that was not here, the new army should have 4,000 soldiers.

In other words, more than half of the soldiers participated in the riot.

Looking at these soldiers who did not participate in the riot, Simon nodded expressionlessly, and then shouted at Harris, who was anxious beside him: "Blow the assembly whistle and see who hasn't come to assemble!"

Harris nodded hurriedly, took out the copper whistle and blew vigorously.

In an instant, the sharp and piercing whistle sounded throughout the small town, and the soldiers who were looting the people immediately froze when they heard the whistle sound.

But looking at the chaos around him, he suddenly felt indifferent. So many people participated in the riot, even the lord could do something to them.

Scattered, less than a hundred people chose to gather after hearing the whistle.

At this time, the soldiers of the new army who did not participate in the looting only barely reached 2,000.

I saw several soldiers participating in the riot dragging a good-looking peasant woman into the house less than ten meters from the assembly place. The peasant woman struggled hard but was powerless to resist.

Simon, who had been silent for a long time with a sullen face, finally couldn't help but exploded. He rushed to the soldiers with Harris and others and asked, "Stop, what are you doing!"

Looking at the angry lord, several soldiers looked surprised and replied without hesitation: "My lord, we are enjoying the spoils of this victory!"

"Who gave you the power!" Simon asked excitedly.

"My lord, this has been a rule since ancient times. Even if you are noble, you have not deprived us of the right to obtain spoils of war!" The soldier replied without fear.

"Enough! Harris, blow the assembly whistle again. All soldiers who do not participate in the assembly will be regarded as rebellion!" Simon was not in the mood, arguing with these soldiers about right and wrong, and yelled at Harris directly.

"Yes!" Harris blew the copper whistle and was about to blow it.

The soldiers were suddenly angry and shouted: "This greedy lord actually deprived us of the right to plunder the loot, and still treats us as a rebellion, brothers, kill him!"

The soldiers involved in the riot were taken aback for a moment, then immediately took off the rifles on their shoulders and aimed at Simon and the others.

"Sacrifice of the four elements, guarded by the earth element!" Simon showed no mercy. The giant earth element several meters high broke through the ground, and slapped these soldiers into a pulp with a few slaps.

"Ah!" The rebel soldiers, who were about to kill the lord, were scared out of their wits just now, and raised their guns with trembling hands, and shot at the several meter-high earth elemental giants.

The bullet hit his body, splashing a cloud of mud, but the earth elemental guard was unscathed, roaring and rushing towards the rebels, slapping a lump of fleshy mud.

The frightened rebels fled in all directions when they saw this, but there were also some bold ones who hid in the dark and secretly aimed their guns at Simon.

boom! boom! The bullet hit the spell shield and was instantly bounced aside.

As a master mage, the shield enchantment released by Simon cannot be broken by ordinary rifles at all.

"Rectify the troops, arrest the rebels, and kill them on the spot in case of resistance!" Simon ordered with a cold expression.

In a trance, Harris and the others began to reorganize the army and deal with the mess. With the assistance of the people and other lords, all the rebels were quickly taken down.

Of course, most of them surrendered themselves.

Simon's magic power made them realize their ignorance.

The weapons in their hands are crushing against ordinary people and low-level professionals, but they are actually nothing to high-level professionals, especially the powerful mage profession.

"Simon, what should we do with these soldiers who participated in the rebellion?" Harris asked blankly. Half of the more than 2,000 people participated in the rebellion. He really didn't know what to do.

"My lord, according to traditional experience, to deal with this kind of large-scale rebellion, we should execute some soldiers to warn other soldiers." Galken gave a suggestion.

The new army only has 6,000 people in total, and it is impossible to kill all of these 2,000 people.

Moreover, the new army has always followed the elite route, and the new law leader spent a lot of gold coins training behind each soldier of the new army.

The death of every soldier meant that countless gold coins were wasted.

You know, this time against the Rosen family's tens of thousands of troops, all the losses were counted, and the new army only lost less than 300 people.

"Kill them all!" Simon ordered in a flat tone.

Everyone was stunned by this decision, and Galken persuaded again: "Master Marquis, you should think again!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis, these soldiers are treasures, it would be a pity to kill them all." Even the lord who was watching the show, some people couldn't stand it and persuaded him.

In the battle not long ago, the performance of the new army really surprised them. They couldn't understand how Simon was willing to execute these soldiers.

And, isn't it normal to share the loot after defeating the enemy?

"I! What I need is an army and qualified soldiers, not a group of bandits and robbers!" Simon grabbed Galken by the collar and looked into his eyes resolutely.

The reason why the new army's fighting power is strong~www.novelbuddy.com~ lies in strict discipline, and even the hot weapons in their hands are only second.

Throughout the history of the Blue Star Wars, well-disciplined armies have always been powerful, and there are even many well-disciplined cold-armed armies that have defeated loosely-disciplined hot-armed armies.

Once the discipline is broken, no matter how good the weapon is, it is useless!

Jumping onto a somewhat damaged high platform, Simon looked down at Harris and the others, as well as the lords, with a sullen face, and said word by word: "The rules I set are absolutely not allowed to be violated. Anyone who violates, No matter who he is, no matter how many people there are, he will definitely be punished!"

The lords were shocked, knowing that it was Simon who was warning them, so they all turned their heads guiltily.

He shows no mercy to his own people, the new marquis conferred by the king is indeed a ruthless man!

Harris and the others sighed inwardly, and lowered their heads to express their obedience. They were used to Simon's overbearing.

Simon will never interfere with ordinary matters, but he will never back down when it comes to matters of principle.

Everyone, either obey or get out, offenders will be severely punished, Siegel and Bulder's personal experience has told them this.

Bang bang bang! Intensive gunfire sounded.

The rebels, whose hands were bound by hemp rope, would never have imagined that this seemingly gentle lord would actually execute them.

They have already surrendered!

Seeing the rows of rebels fall, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and it was better not to touch the bottom line of Marquis Simon.

What Simon didn't know was that while he was executing the rebels, the new French leader in the distance was also undergoing shocking changes.

Do not! Maybe, I already guessed it...
