In terms of being cunning, ten Zhou Qingfeng bundled together are no match for any Northland noble. The more you get to know these guys, the more you understand that they have no credibility or morality at all, and they do not abide by any agreements or rules.
The so-called nobility is just a disguise.
Zhou Qingfeng wanted to save some face. He really thought about keeping his promise. If Broken Bridge City agreed to the three demands, he would release all the prisoners.
Old Bank is white-haired, highly respected, and has the demeanor of a master, and his ideas are more vicious than anyone else. He completely wants to drain the last drop of oil from the Holden family in Broken Bridge City, and then destroy the other party.
Zhou Qingfeng felt that he was lucky not to play tricks with these guys, otherwise he would have been unable to play with them. He has always convinced people with his force, which is simple and clear.
As for why the dragon-slaying hero will eventually become an evil dragon, that is a matter for the future. Let’s talk about it later.
Old Bank's mental strength is quite high, and his will test is very strong. The 'lie detection corsage' is almost ineffective against him, and Zhou Qingfeng is not sure whether the other party's intentions are true or false.
"Sir Bank, I am surprised by your arrival, and I don't trust you enough. But if you are willing to join me, I still welcome you."
If Old Bank didn't want any privileges, Zhou Qingfeng wouldn't mind accepting him. But he would not restore Old Bank's position as 'Chief Prophecy', nor would he accept the other party's disciples and family members.
"Until I achieve a decisive victory, I can only reserve a small amount of recognition for you. You can serve as an advisor by my side, and it's best not to leave my sight too much."
The words are clear. I will use you but not trust you. It will depend on the development of the war and your performance.
Old Bank had no objection to this and expressed his willingness to obey the orders. He also immediately told Zhou Qingfeng what he knew about the situation of the Banshee Castle to facilitate decision-making.
"The Butch family sent Baron Bishop as commander, leading three hundred knights and more than twenty wizards and priests to accompany the army north.
Phils Longlegs also made a desperate move. Lord Exon, the family knight captain, led more than a hundred knights and cavalry to assist in the battle. They also had more than 3,000 infantry as support.
Baron Bishop is difficult to deal with. Although this guy is arrogant and extremely conceited, he is indeed very capable. He has carried out more than half of the Butcher family's external expansion in the past ten years.
The baron has a group of capable young aristocratic officers. They all have their own troops, and they can move freely when fighting, which makes them very flexible.
The preparations for the Banshee Castle have been completed a long time ago. Bishop led the troops to attack a week ago, but he is not sure where they are now."
In Zhou Qingfeng's office in the City Lord's Mansion, Old Bank pointed to the map provided by the Harmony Chamber of Commerce and told what he knew. When it came to Bishop's current location...
Hilly walked in from outside the door and said loudly: "Bishop is in the fog town in the south. He is attacking the Lehman family's territory. The Minos family is rushing to help, but they probably won't be able to hold on."
The last time there was a huge upheaval in Coldwind City, the Arad family became a sacrifice for Orul to vent his anger. Lehman and the Minos family fled in embarrassment, reported to the group to keep warm, and also headed south, trying to seek refuge in the Banshee Castle.
But Phils Longlegs hated these rebellious gangs and refused to forgive them. In addition, the power of these two families was extremely weak, and the Butch family was too lazy to take them in. They directly classified them as a disgrace to the nobility and wanted to eliminate them.
Zhou Qingfeng occupied a city alone, with enemies on all sides. This forced him to think of ways to improve his intelligence collection and information transmission capabilities.
For example, there is an internal response in Broken Bridge City.
The Northland nobles verbally block trade and roads, but their execution ability has always been questionable. The Harmony Chamber of Commerce relies on money and materials to clear the way, and it can always wear the so-called 'blockade' like a sieve.
Bishop's thousands of men and horses slowly moved northward, and relevant information was transmitted to Hanfeng City every day.
"It's best to give Bishop a hard blow to curb this man's actions before Lehman and the Minos family are eliminated."
Xili stood in front of Zhou Qingfeng's desk and pointed to the dense fog town on the map, "Otherwise, if we let this guy push the war into our territory, we will be in big trouble."
The passing of bandits is like a comb, and the passing of soldiers is like a grate.
The armies of other worlds are not kind-hearted people. Whether they are noble knights or civilian soldiers, they go to war just to make a fortune, and public plundering is inevitable.
Once Bishop's army enters the territory of Cold Wind City, no matter how Zhou Qingfeng attacks Duanqiao City, the enemy will deal with him. By then, the territory will be filled with smoke and smoke, and the legitimacy of his rule will be greatly weakened.
What's even worse is that once he shows weakness, all the hungry wolves in the North will pounce and bite him.
Old Bank watched quietly from the sidelines and did not participate in the decision-making. In his opinion, Lord Hugo's rule in Cold Wind City will inevitably be challenged, and the probability of the Butch family winning is as high as 90%.
Banshee Castle has money and people, and its stock is much larger than that of Cold Wind City, which has experienced two civil strifes. The Butch family casually mobilized more than 300 knights, and with the full cooperation of Phils and Long Legs, Bishop was in charge
's trump card is too strong.
But after seeing the situation in Broken Bridge City, Old Bank lowered the Butcher family's winning rate.
Seventy percent.
can not be lower.
After all, faced with an absolute disparity in strength, the manpower and material resources Hugo could mobilize were quite limited.
If it were commanded by Old Bank, he would have looted the entire city and immediately fled into the Black Forest, blocking the Goblin Plank Road and waiting for the situation to change.
As for territory, face, and prestige, these are all matters that can only be considered by those who are alive. The dead are not qualified to care about these things. The lords of other worlds do not care about the legitimacy of their rule. They have always only recognized swords.
But Zhou Qingfeng didn't think so, "We really can't retreat, we must defend the enemy from outside the country."
Old Bank frowned and asked: "Sir, how many troops do you have now?"
"Well..., the military force in our city has been established for too short a period of time, and its combat power is quite limited. The cavalry and infantry regiments suffered considerable losses in dealing with the Horton family.
At present, the infantry regiment is basically useless, and the cavalry regiment can mobilize about a hundred people." Zhou Qingfeng was still very calm, and he did not expect that his men would suffer a tragic victory after being strengthened multiple times.
"Just a few people?"
When he heard the numbers reported by Zhou Qingfeng, Old Bank's eyes widened, and he almost wondered if it was a stupid decision for him to come to Cold Wind City to seek refuge.
You only have so many people, you should have told me earlier!
It hurt me to fall into a trap.
Isn't this embarrassing?
Less than a hundred people are attacking thousands of infantry and hundreds of knights. Aren't you looking for death?
By the way, your hundreds of men can only be called cavalry, not knights. The knights of the Horton family who escaped said that their opponent's combat skills are too poor. If they didn't cooperate so well, you would never win.
This was so regretful that my intestines turned green.
But now that Old Bank has boarded the pirate ship, he cannot escape even if he wants to. Zhou Qingfeng is determined to repeat a miracle and defeat a powerful opponent with less than a hundred men.
then......
Coldwind City mobilized all its forces, with the cavalry as the main force, and brought along the strange maid, the construct 'Quick Shadow', the orc guards, the rookie wizard group, and the unlucky old Bank.
With accurate intelligence support, strong logistical support, and efficient link coordination, Uncle Zhou led the team to march dozens of kilometers and suddenly appeared outside the battlefield in Dense Fog Town.
In the battle at the beginning of this volume, Baron Bishop's team had just captured the town and had been recuperating for a day. Thousands of infantry were attacking the last line of defense of Lehman and the Minos family.
Hundreds of banshee castle knights are about to deal a devastating blow to their opponents.
The blood-red battle flag suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
Zhou Qingfeng personally led the team, riding a mechanical dragon, leading the brave light cavalry to raise their sharp blades high, and use the best fighter planes to pour down from the preset positions.
Under the banner of the Banshee, Lord Exxon of the Long-Legs family made a sharp and frightened cry, "Victor Hugo, it's Victor Hugo. That bastard has personally led his troops."
Ah..., the momentum is like a rainbow!
But Uncle Zhou only brought a hundred or so men, and after only five minutes of being handsome, he was swallowed up by the opponent's absolute superiority in troops. He hadn't been defeated for a long time, and his head was a little hot recently.
There is no benefit in being overconfident.
