Chapter 256 The reason for not coming
Vittorino Denis is the Viscount of Point City and the Silver Knight.
At the noble meeting held in Wushanbao last month, he not only attended the meeting in person, but also said that he would personally lead an elite force to attack the Polish Thieves Group.
Luo Ning didn't expect that the other party would be absent, so he sent someone to inquire, and then he learned the reason why the other party didn't come -
It is said that a large seven-eight-meter-long sea monster sword shark suddenly broke into Dennis Port. It has recently damaged many merchant ships and even caused dozens of casualties.
In order to solve the port problem as soon as possible, Viscount Vittorino took his elite knights on a warship to try to destroy the monster. Unexpectedly, the opponent cracked the hull of the ship, causing the warship to gradually sink.
If the Sword Shark hadn't been too arrogant and rushed onto the hull of the warship when it was about to sink completely, and was killed by Vitorino and others' wild bombings, I really don't know what the outcome would have been.
Although they won this battle, Vittorino and his elite knights were all injured, especially the Viscount himself, who had a piece of flesh poked off his thigh by a sword shark and is still recovering in the castle and unable to get out of bed.
Obviously, he would not be able to participate in this war with the Bolt Bandits.
Not only him, but also the elite knights who went to the sea with him to kill the sword shark and were seriously injured were unable to participate.
Defeating the Level 5 Warcraft Sword Shark at sea, just hearing about it will tell you how dangerous it is.
But in Luoning's opinion, there was no idea how much water was in it. He even felt that there might not have been a sword shark like a sword shark in Port Dennis. Everything was just an excuse made by Viscount Vittorino because he didn't want to participate in the war.
He sighed. The other party didn't come, which resulted in the loss of two people from his high-end combat power for no reason.
But what can he do?
Luo Ning wouldn't ride a dragon to the Point City to see with his own eyes whether Vittorino really couldn't get out of bed, right?
To take a step back, even if he did go and saw the other party alive and kicking, he had no right to order the other party to go to the battlefield.
Luo Ning was just a commander on the battlefield. Off the battlefield, he was the Viscount of Wushan Castle just like his opponent.
What's more, Jianjiao City is much more prosperous than the current Wubei Territory.
However, although Vittorino and his elite knights were unable to participate in this war, in order to express the loyalty of Point City to Wushan Castle, he still sent a team of 300 people to arrive at the Rock as scheduled. collar.
Luo Ning still doesn't know the specific combat strength of this team, but the number is absolutely nothing to say. It is the largest among all the noble reinforcements.
Compared with Vittorino, other nobles are not so "bold".
Not to mention the bankrupt Baron Kona, who formed a team of three, the other barons, pioneer knights, etc., who brought a team of thirty or fifty people were even more, and most of them were more than ten or twenty people.
Luo Ning rode the Cloud Horse and stood on the high slope looking at the disorderly camps of the nobles outside the Boulder City, and couldn't help but frown.
He really doubted that such a coalition had combat effectiveness?
A horse galloped forward. Luogna dismounted and came to Luo Ning to report.
"Sir, I have inquired about the situation in Point City in the name of your commander. The leader is 'Mahomet Loew', a knight of Viscount Vittorino, bronze level."
"He has two intermediate knights and five junior knights. The remaining infantry and archers are all ordinary people, and there is no cavalry."
The Bronze Knight is pretty good, but the combat power behind it is hard to describe.
"Rogner, tell me why Viscount Vittorino is unwilling to participate in this war?"
Luo Ning had some suspicions about this behavior, but still wanted to hear what outsiders thought.
Rogner hesitated for a moment, and then slowly expressed his thoughts: "He probably feels that there is nothing good to gain from this war, and the more he invests, the greater the losses will be."
"Please tell me in detail why he feels that there is no 'benefits' to be gained from this war."
Rogner smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid this matter has something to do with your father, Earl Wiggins."
Next, he expressed all his opinions.
To put it simply, no matter whether it is Viscount Vittorino, Marvin, Herman and others, anyone who is well-informed will know that Wiggins has a share in the Chishan Town iron ore.
If Wushanbao recaptures Chishan Town in the next war, it is absolutely impossible to hand it over to Kerien for management.
And according to Wiggins' urine, the other party is likely to put the Chishan Iron Mine and even this town under his name.
Hearing this, Luo Ning couldn't help but sigh.
People like Vittorino are worthy of being old men who have been following Wiggins for a long time, and they were also given the idea of the latter.
The only difference is that Wiggins does not want the management rights of Chishan Town because he is too lazy to run it, but is going to arrange it for Luo Ning.
Under this premise, the valuable things that the nobles who supported the war could obtain became limited.
In the end, some nobles may only be able to plunder some spoils from the battlefield.
As for other things, such as improving military experience, increasing reputation and influence, they are all fictitious things. For small nobles, they are not as real as money.
For these people, since the big head can't fall on them and the small head is dispensable, why send their own elite?
Just recruit serf soldiers to make up the number, and then be led by a few knights, respond to the call for help, and earn a lot of money.
As for why Marvin and Hermann are not so "hidden", the reason is not difficult to guess.
For the former, his second son Rogna worked under Ronin, who was the commander of the war.
As a father, Marvin naturally has to support Luogna.
For the latter, his son and daughter's lives were saved by Luo Ning, and Leisen, a hidden enemy, was also eliminated at the banquet. Herman would also send more manpower out of repayment.
"So in the end, the main force in this war will be the three knights of Wushanbao, Wubei Territory, Muma City and Hushang Town, a dozen knight teams combined."
"A dozen knight squads are enough, sir."
Rogner said: "The enemy is estimated to have at most one Knight Order. The advantage lies with us."
"maybe."
Luo Ning waved his hand, "I have to trouble you to inform the leaders of these teams. Since everyone has arrived at the Boulder Territory, let's start moving together from tomorrow. When we enter Boulder City tomorrow, we will meet Tolu and Kerien. After , Phillip and others meet up, we will find a time to have a meeting."
"I am at your service, my lord!"
The reason why he handed over the contact task to Rogner was mainly because the other party knew many people. Unlike McCann, Rydal, Joffrey and others who had not seen much of the world, this was Rogner's advantage.
Ronin returned to his camp and called for Rydal, Macon and Elrond.
In this war, I am afraid that the high-end combat power of the Wubei Territory cannot be hidden.
But it’s worth it for the iron ore in Chishan Town. (End of chapter)
