Chapter 496 Mutation (Happy New Year!)
From the Marquisate of Sayre to the Earldom of Locke, then to the Viscount of Obi and the Earldom of Adra...
As the situation on the continent continued to change, most of the nobles living in the Moore River Valley had already formed their own private army to maintain their rule over their territories.
But when these noble private armies really faced the well-trained Idar army, no one would be stupid enough to take daggers and knives to fight against those steel monsters of the Idar people.
At least these noble private armies that can't even get their full military pay are certainly unable to do this.
Because the weapons of the Idar people have surpassed their already shallow knowledge.
The unknown often brings an inexplicable fear.
But unfortunately... there are always exceptions, and reality does not always conform to logic.
Even though the Idar army's strict military appearance is intimidating, not all nobles are smart.
For example... Viscount Obi's brain seems to be a little bit not so smart.
This clever viscount felt that he could rely on the 180 warriors under his command to compete with the Idar army equipped with tanks and artillery.
The fact that the Crusaders had never extended their tentacles into the Moore River Valley gave this intelligent viscount a kind of mysterious self-confidence! He believed that the reason why the Church of Light was shrinking back was that they did not want to have friction with their elite soldiers and generals.
That is why, when he saw the dusty Idar army from afar, the wise Viscount thought that those greedy Idar people should see the 180 warriors under his command!
then……
Block the city gates and fight to the bitter end! When Major General Grant Doyle saw the miraculous operation of the wise Viscount and heard his unique train of thought...
General Idar was immediately delighted! From the perspective of the interests of the Idar Empire, peacefully recovering the Moore River Valley was naturally the best thing to do.
But if you ask Grant Doyle's wishes, he certainly hopes to fight with the nobles of the Norman Empire.
This was not because he was eager for military merit, but for training! To test the soldiers' adaptability to the new weapons!
after all……
After replacing new weapons, the combat methods of Idar's army have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Even though most Idar officers have received course training at the Idar Army Officer Academy, there is still a certain gap between theory and practice.
Is there anything more suitable as a human punching bag than the incompetent private army of nobles? No!
In the eyes of Major General Grant Doyle, the private army of the nobles not far away can be used to test the coordination and actual combat of Idar’s army!
So... in order to prevent the smart viscount from changing his mind and leaving the city to surrender, General Grant Doyle issued the order to attack the city as quickly as possible.
With his order, more than a dozen self-propelled artillery pieces opened fire at the same time. Amid the rumbling of artillery fire, the solid city walls that Viscount Obi was proud of collapsed, and Idar's army marched straight in.
There is no difficulty at all...
Looking at the soldiers fleeing in panic on the city wall through a telescope, Major General Grant couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Being careless and underestimating the enemy is a taboo in war, so even when facing the noble private army that seems unreliable, the Idar army has adopted the most cautious attitude.
But it is obvious that the opponents are just a group of real noobs.
After just a few rounds of artillery fire, the Idar army captured the last noble territory in the Moore River Valley without any surprise.
As the Idar army advanced at an unimaginable speed, taking over one city after another...
The Idar soldiers, who have always been united, friendly and sincere to others, also invited nobles one after another to visit the city of Idar.
Then,
the newly established Moore Valley Government Office followed closely behind Idar's army, settling and comforting the people living on this land with 100% enthusiasm.
Well, there is no need for consolation or publicity at all.
As an important passage to Idar, the civilians living in the Moore River Valley had long heard various rumors about the Idar Empire.
so……
When they saw the legendary griffin flag, joy and anticipation immediately filled the hearts of the civilians.
One by one, the well-tested Idar officials rushed to various cities and, in the expectant eyes of the common people, rented out the fields and lands that originally belonged to the local nobles to the landless and landless commoners.
Perhaps the expansion speed of the Idar people is relatively slow, whether compared with the Church of Light or the Odin Empire.
However, unlike the burning, killing and looting by the Odin Empire after the occupation, and unlike the taxation and recruitment of soldiers by the Church of Light after the occupation, the civilians were no longer panicked, but surrounded by a sense of security after being redeemed.
after all……
Who can refuse to tearfully denounce the oppression and torture they have suffered at a grievance meeting?
Who wouldn't be grateful to His Majesty Bruno Stuart, the Emperor of Idar, who gave them a brand new future? Standing on the top floor of Viscount Obi's lord's castle, Sarah Coren looked at the Crusader's base not far from the Moore River Valley, where the flags symbolizing the Church of Light fluttered in the cold winter wind.
"Has the Crusaders made any unusual moves in recent days?" Sarah Coren asked in a deep voice.
“No…no…”
The captured Viscount Obi spoke hesitantly. He had received a pair of silver bracelets on his wrists as a gift from the Idar military, and he was trembling all over.
"No?" Sarah Coren frowned slightly.
You know, almost a week has passed since the air strike.
Even if the church's message transmission speed was very slow, the news that the holy city of Bethlehem had been attacked by air strikes should have spread throughout the continent by now.
After all... Krell, the director of the Idar CIA who aspires to become the continent's number one troublemaker, has also been fanning the flames behind the scenes.
"How could the church be so cowardly? They weren't like this when they attacked St. Lawrence..." Sarah Coren murmured.
…
Idar City, Cecil Embassy.
With the promotion of the Idar Daily, the establishment of the Moore River Province made the people of Idar excited.
As a friendly country of the Idar Empire, colorful flags have been hung in front of the Cecil Embassy on Jingshi Road.
only……
On this day, when the embassy staff were doing nothing as usual, standing guard in front of the long-distance communication device donated by the Idar people...
The rapid flashing of indicator lights and a message from the Kingdom of Cecil made the atmosphere in the entire embassy suddenly solemn.
"Quick! Go find Viscount Danielson!"
I wish you all a happy Year of the Tiger! May you make a fortune in the new year!
