It's not that they have to be killed, but those nobles who escaped one by one are all money.
Since they took the initiative to invade Principality of Talgar, you don't have to kill them, but at least they must use ransom to pay for their crimes.
There will be many places where money will be used in the future. The more nobles you capture, the more ransom you will receive.
Why not?
In this way, it was not until a day later that the demon hunters returned to the Restoration Army's camp after returning home with a full load.
At this time, the battlefield that had been fought had been cleaned up, but there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.
When Lynn and others returned to the camp, they were immediately brought to Istredd.
In front of all the nobles, Istredd canonized every demon hunter as a knight, and the one who canonized Lynn was Earl.
And in the presence of all the nobles, he promised Lynn that when he returns to Kovir and Poviss and is crowned king, Lynn will have the priority to choose the fiefdom.
Looking at Lynn who showed a somewhat surprised expression, and the demon hunters whose faces were full of shock, Istredd smiled.
The so-called oath of allegiance can only be constrained by sufficient repayment.
This is true whether it is a sincere person or a despicable person.
The nobles present did not show jealousy or hatred because Istredd awarded a group of civilians.
But almost everyone is just envious with good intentions.
I have to say that the atmosphere among the nobles under Istredd is really good, so good that they hardly look like natives of this world.
After the canonization ceremony ended, the army moved forward, all the way to the border, to regain the previously occupied territory.
The army was on this side of the border. After Istredd thought about it, he still did not lead the troops across the border, but returned to Talgar City.
Talgar City, Lady Benigna specially held a celebration banquet.
At the celebration banquet, Lady Benigna also made an amazing move:
She awarded Lynn a Order of the Thistle.
Order of the Thistle is the highest level in the Principality of Talgar honor system. Only a very small number of nobles can obtain this medal.
This move was apparently also made at the request of Istredd.
On the surface, no tangible and tangible benefits can be obtained.
But of course there are benefits.
That is to increase the reputation of Lynn and the legitimacy and legitimacy of the title Earl.
When giving the medal to Lynn to wear, Lady Benigna whispered to Lynn that he could now consider the family name and the style of the coat of arms.
I took a two-month break at Principality of Talgar.
Lynn took the opportunity to release all the captured Hengfors nobles and earned a handsome ransom.
Two months later, Kovir Restoration Army set off again after resting, heading towards Kovir and Poviss.
But this time, due to the defeat of the Hengfors League Army, the morale of the Kovir Restoration Army is high.
In contrast, the mood of King Lettenhove and King Idi has reached rock bottom.
They didn't expect that Redania would not move at all.
What's even more frightening is that after Hengfors League was defeated, Kovir Restoration Army of Istredd suffered almost no major casualties.
This is completely different from what King Lettenhove imagined.
But since Restoration Army has already moved towards Kovir and Poviss, he has no other choice.
He had no choice but to summon his vassals and prepare to attack.
The two armies eventually met at the border.
Kovir Restoration Army During the two-month rest period, he recruited many more soldiers and hired several mercenary groups, bringing his strength to 15,000.
On the opposite side, the combined forces of Kovir and Poviss were even larger in number, totaling 40,000.
The troop strength was far more than twice that of the enemy, giving King Lettenhove and King Idi a lot of confidence and confidence.
After all, no matter what, it's 40,000 versus 15,000, so I have the advantage.
'Since Hengfors League and Redania are unreliable, then I will do it myself.'
King Lettenhove thought so.
On the day of the decisive battle, heavy fog filled the air, obscuring the sight of both armies.
It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the morning that the fog completely cleared.
The moment he saw the enemy clearly, King Lettenhove couldn't wait and ordered the entire army to press forward and launch a general attack.
When the strength is far greater than that of the opponent, no skills are needed anymore, just go over with A.
Just like now, the 40,000-strong army is spread out in a straight line, and both wings have far surpassed the opposite formation.
As long as each noble leads his troops forward, the siege can be completed naturally.
Whether it is a war in the cold weapon era or a war in the Napoleon era, as long as the enemy is surrounded, victory can basically be declared.
This is the common sense equivalent to one plus one equals two.
However, what King Lettenhove and King Idi did not expect was that the noble army on their left wing, which was moving towards the flank of the Restoration Army, actually changed direction after being away from the center for a certain distance, and then charged towards the center.
The noble army on the right left the battlefield directly.
This caused the armies of King Idi and King Lettenhove to fall into a bitter battle under attack from two sides.
"What are they doing? Are they crazy?"
King Idi is incompetent and furious.
But no one could answer his question.
King Lettenhove's face was so gloomy that it looked like it could drip water.
After Thyssen family fell and Kovir and Poviss escaped, a group of nobles who were originally loyal to Thyssen family immediately defected and rushed to pledge their allegiance to King Lettenhove and King Idi.
King Lettenhove is certainly not a fool.
These nobles can abandon Thyssen family now, and they will also be able to abandon Thyssen family when he returns in the future.
Therefore, King Lettenhove did not exterminate all the loyal nobles of Thyssen family, but only reduced their territories and transferred all the territories of the capitulators and loyalists to seal.
In the end, it becomes a situation of mutual checks and balances between you and me.
As for this expedition, he did not bring any nobles from the loyalist faction with him, but only brought with him the nobles from the surrendering faction.
But in order to prevent the loyalist nobles from rebelling, he imprisoned the wives and sons of the loyalist nobles in the winter capital of Kovir, Lang Esset.
As a result, he did not expect that the nobles who surrendered would turn against each other en masse.
King Lettenhove had a terrifying thought in his mind:
Whether they are capitulators or loyalists, those guys are working together to act, right?
But regardless of whether it was an act or not, the armies of King Lettenhove and King Idi were surrounded by two sides, showing obvious decline, and failure had become a certainty.
As a last resort, King Lettenhove and King Idi had no choice but to abandon the army and flee in the direction of Lang Essette.
The two kings only brought dozens of followers with them. They traveled day and night like bereaved dogs, and finally arrived at Lang Esset after a few days.
However, what frightened the two kings was that they finally knew what the right-wing noble coalition force that left the battlefield was doing.
They actually wanted to occupy Lang Esset in advance and protect the wives and children of the loyal nobles.
Sure enough, this group of capitulators and loyalists got together to put on a show for them.
