Chapter 258: The Power of Counterattack [Airey]
"Sorry, Lord Fran, I can't help it!" Alay stood up from the auditorium and walked to the side of the nobles.
"You... are you a mere knight, what qualifications do you have to say here!" A nobleman was very angry when he saw that the junior dared to scold him.
"Knight? Oh, the knight cannot speak on such occasions. Who stipulates that?" Alay looked at the smelly old man with a shriveled face and a frightened face.
"Of course it is a ritual among the nobles!" The nobleman raised his chin with a proud look, "At most you only have the right to listen, and you can't stop talking!"
"Oh, if I remember correctly, the content that the nobles have to abide by is about 'guarding the Lord' and 'responsible for the Lord' and 'responsible for the Lord' even if they are willing to help them solve their problems'?" Ailey continued to question.
There is indeed such content - Alay was just canonized as a knight yesterday and is very familiar with those contents.
"Yes... so what!" The nobles were obviously a little guilty.
"Yoyo, when you enjoy the rights, you emphasize that you are a nobleman, and when you fulfill your obligations, you pretend not to know?" Ailey mocked, "Tsk tsk, the account book is clear, why don't you become merchants?"
The nobles were choked and their faces flushed, and they didn't know how to refute them.
"If you really have a little loyalty to the Clinder family," Ailey said, using the index finger and thumb's nail tip to make a small gap. "Then you should report the number of soldiers to the lord first?"
"Say how much power you can contribute to the lord! Let the lord dominate you and lead you!" Alay spoke almost rebuked, "not here, before fighting, I found a way to make the lord surrender!"
This statement made the nobles feel ashamed and bowed their heads and said nothing - they also knew how unpretentious the things they did were.
"Hey, are you really not a little shameful? You can't even think of a way to use it?" Aile continued to sarcastically, "Your brain can only be used to think about how to change a good master?"
"Enough, you guy!" A nobleman couldn't bear it, "Aren't we already coming up with an idea? Otherwise, what else can we do!"
"The enemy is coming, aren't you thinking about how to resist the enemy at the first time?" Ailey's question was extremely simple.
"This is simply nonsense! Can you direct the war?" the nobles retorted, "Do you have any men?"
"Let the soldiers climb the city walls, throw stones and shoot bows when the enemy comes. This kind of thing needs to be studied so thoroughly!?" Ailey was not at all inferior in his momentum. "Although I don't have soldiers, you have one, right?"
Even if he gives the man in front of him the courage, he dare not say such ruthless words as "I am worried that my seal will be damaged" and "my soldiers cannot waste it for you."
Although that's what he really thought in his heart.
Faced with Aley's questioning, he could only sit down with his sleeves angrily, without saying a word.
It's really sad to pretend to be mute... Fran actually wants to rely on you, the wine bags, which is really sad.
Alay walked to Fran and looked at her firmly: "Sir, we cannot give up easily; the people have longed for such a life for a long time, and they will definitely be willing to support us!"
Fran was a little confused by the sudden questioning of Alay; it took her a while before she realized that this was indeed feasible.
However, the aristocrats had been insulted like this, and what happened later... For Fran, who was meticulous and cautious, doing so was too reckless.
Ailey had already thought of this when he was listening there; however, he believed that these people were not very loyal at all, and even if they curse a few more words, it would be no difference;
If these people are a little thin-skinned or a little conscientious, they will make a lot of money - no matter what, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the noble family is much stronger than the militia recruited!
"Dear nobles, now is the time for you to be loyal to the Clinder family!" Ayre also knew that blindly insulting would not do anything, "You should report to the soldiers you have and contribute to Lord Fran!"
"Did you live a comfortable life under the suppression of the Rank family? Do you want to survive again under such almost breathless conditions?"
"Soldiers can be recruited, cities can be sent to defend, and burned buildings can be built again. We only need to win a victory!"
Victory... as long as you can win?
Aire's call caused some turmoil in their minds.
"Our family... can provide five hundred experienced soldiers to defend the city." The first noble spoke.
Fran looked at the old man, he looked familiar - yes, he was the one who had a conflict with the Rank family;
His heirs fought with Ward and were then killed due to poor strength;
When it comes to hatred for the Rank family, he should not be much lighter than himself.
Until just now, he remained silent - he did not come up with bad ideas, nor did he refute Aly's criticism.
Thank you so much! Alei looked at the old man, feeling full of gratitude.
There should be about 800 soldiers in their family... It is already quite good to provide these. Fran nodded in praise.
"Our family has three hundred." The second noble also took action.
There were obviously thousands of soldiers in this old guy's house, but this time he only showed this. Fran still maintained his expression and nodded to look at the other two.
In desperation, the remaining two had to separate out four hundred - so there were 1,600 people.
It is definitely not enough for these people to defend the city.
"Mr. Fran, I think I can issue a notice to the city now and recruit people to join our team!" Alay suggested.
This kind of thing should be implemented quickly - after all, they will come in half a month;
If you call up early, you can start training early.
Compared with field battles that require complex instructions and high morale, defending the city only requires some relatively basic operations;
These tasks can be done by veterans of the noble family, who must have received relevant training;
Post the announcement of this matter throughout the city and call on residents to protect their homes!
Since you want to maintain the system of Earl David, you must protect it with practical actions!
There will definitely be quite a lot of people corresponding!
Fran looked at Alay with a little hope; although it was still slim, at least he had the power to resist.
only……
Marquis Lelan Grey, is he really that easy to deal with?
A letter of declaration of war half a month in advance?
No...is there any other move?
