Quietly attacking the French Palace's granary to weaken the French Palace's military strength, Duran took the initiative.
Judging from the military composition of the Kingdom of Mitlan and the Kusha Empire, Mitland has strong feudal characteristics, that is, the knights are all nobles. Because nobles can go to war without work. However, the Kusha Empire’s army has a large number of civilians.
, indicating that the Kusha Empire is no longer feudal, but an autocratic monarchy. The army no longer just relies on nobles, but recruits from civilians. The land in the Kusha Empire must have been subcontracted to each household, otherwise it would not be possible for every household.
They can all draw out strong men.
The land system determines the scale of the war. Because war means getting out of production and eating food.
The more people who are unemployed, the greater the scale of the war. Only nobles in the Kingdom of Mitland can be unemployed, so the main participants in the war are the nobles.
Dulan passed through the gap in the encirclement, came to the back of the French army, and launched an attack on the unsuspecting grain storage castle. On Dulan's side, because of the change in the land system, a large number of farmers participated in the war, and they passed the training
Became an outstanding warrior.
Climbing the city wall with ropes, quietly opening the city gate, and then Dulan led his troops to swarm in and set fire to the food.
By the time the knights from the King's Court discovered that the granary behind them was on fire and hurried back, it was already too late.
After a successful sneak attack, Duran did not escape immediately. Instead, he laid an ambush in the middle of the road, killed all the Knights of the Holy Lance who came back first, and robbed a batch of equipment before running away.
Before the King of France launched an attack, his morale was dampened. The knights below all said that they should attack now, and that time did not wait for us.
But the priest said not to worry, they haven't made enough yet: "This is just a small accident, it won't happen again. Now we have a great advantage. As long as we continue to encircle them, they will surrender soon."
The knights were very angry, but there was nothing they could do. They did not dare to disobey the priest, lest they be labeled as a heretic and the whole family would suffer.
What is the difference between the priest's behavior and that of the apostle? It's just that the apostle turns into a monster and physically eats people, while the priest relies on his authority to drain people of their value little by little and deprive them of their qualifications as human beings.
In fact, to a certain extent, the apostle is more like a resistance to this cruel world, a desperate cry of the victim who has no way out, and finally takes revenge on society in the wrong way.
The real cannibals don't need to trade the Overlord's eggs for power at all. They have the power themselves and can decide people's life and death at will, and easily plunder people's wealth and anointing.
The strong swing their swords at the weak, and the weak swing their swords at the weaker. This is how the world is, and the way those who gain apostolic power resist the world is to make the world worse without challenging the strong.
It seems that we can draw the conclusion that people who gain power will become evil, just like people who have money will definitely become evil. In fact, it can be said conversely that the process of gaining power is full of evil, or primitive accumulation is full of blood.
, so the previous conclusion is valid. Whether it is seeking rights or sacrificing lives, the process by which priests and apostles gain strength is a path full of blood.
In this world, one of the people and forces is always evil, or both are evil. It is impossible for both of them to be just.
Duran's battle was successful, but the French court still did not retreat or attack, and was still waiting for funds. At this time, the Mitlan royal family was already heavily in debt, and was almost drained by this civil war.
The dissatisfaction with the priests is increasing, and the number of believers who are justified by faith is also increasing. But they hide it because they don't know yet whether they have enough power to resist the French court.
After all, the King's Court is a behemoth. No one is willing to break up with the King's Court before there is a certain chance of victory.
But with the emergence of prophetic dreams, more and more people believe that this is God’s dissatisfaction with the King of France and a sign of God’s support for justification by faith.
"So it is so important to seize the right to interpret." In fact, this prophetic dream was created by Griffith to indicate that he was about to return to the world. But now it has been taken by Duran as a support for 'justification by faith', which makes him
There is absolutely no way one can refute it.
After a victory, the people in the territory became more brave and trained harder, waiting for the decisive battle with the King's Court. In their view, they had gods behind them, and they must be invincible, and every one of them was full of fighting spirit.
Dulan felt that it was almost done, and he should unite with the believers within the Fawang Court to launch a beautiful counterattack against the Fawang Court.
"The decisive battle is tomorrow." Duran changed a flag with a black hound on the city wall, which was to inform the knights in the French army that the decisive battle would be launched tomorrow.
At this time, the knights who had seen through the priest's money-making behavior turned against each other and threw themselves into the embrace of righteousness by faith.
This is a combination of inside and outside. The count princess also appeared on the front line in person. As soon as she appeared, the morale of the soldiers immediately increased by a hundred, and the enemy was immediately weakened by half.
The princess's charm value is so effective that as long as she stands on the front line, all humans with eyes will be affected.
kill!
The King's Court had never seen this battle before, and the priests did not understand why these lambs suddenly turned into hungry wolves and attacked the King's Court. Don't these rebellious nobles know that the princess wants to distribute the land of the nobles to the common people? Aren't they afraid?
I'm afraid, but these small nobles don't have much land, and handing over the land will give them the opportunity to advance. They may become ministers, and they no longer have to pay money to the French court.
Although you can avoid paying taxes by joining the French court, you still have to pay money to the French court. In fact, it makes no difference at all to the small nobles. After joining the princess, the small nobles can still retain a small part of the land and pay very little tax. Therefore,
Inverted.
No one would have thought that this battle would turn out like this. The King of France was attacked from both sides and defeated. Even if a priest shouted, "God bless us, we will win", it was useless, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that the troops of the King of France had dispersed.
, it is impossible to win.
Moreover, the princess's troops shouted: "Surrender without killing."
As long as you surrender, you can survive? What people say makes so much sense, why do you have to fight so hard? Although the knights of the King's Court are loyal to their faith in God, how can they be loyal to God if they die?
So the battle ended in just one day, and the news of the King's Court's failure spread like the wind around the world. The King's Court, which had always been invincible, suffered an unprecedented blow.
The dissatisfaction with the priest has become more and more serious, and the old priests of the King's court are getting big headaches. However, if the problem cannot be solved, another new problem can be used to cover up the old problem.
Now that the Kusha Empire is invading, the leader said that he would personally conquer it and prove that the gods were still on the side of the King of France by defeating Kusha. So after just experiencing a defeat, the King of France immediately started a second war.
I have to say that the leader's decision was very quick. He knew that the Kusha Empire was a major concern for the entire Mitlan at this time, so what he said could completely divert everyone's attention. It did work, seeing that the leader could unite everyone to resist.
Looking at the invasion, no one else can do it. Even the king cannot unite the entire country, so in order to resist the invaders, we have to unite around the old leader.
