Pirates of the First Empire

Chapter 855 The Top of the Pyramid



Obviously this is not the first time that the Yueshuang Kingdom has done this kind of thing. Of course, even if the Yueshuang Kingdom has money, it cannot use it casually. On this point, whether it is the Yueshuang King or other kingdoms around the world, , all know it by heart.

The reason is very simple. No country will choose to put national defense above third-party hired forces. The reason why most countries have to spend money to hire third parties to intervene on the battlefield is entirely because they encounter enemies that they cannot defeat. Otherwise, even if No matter how rich they are, there is no need for them to spend this wasted money...

Therefore, only when faced with a crisis situation of invasion by a powerful enemy, the kingdom's senior officials will choose to sacrifice their own interests in exchange for the intervention of a third party. In other words, it is completely inappropriate for the Yueshuang Kingdom to hire outsiders to intervene in the current situation. It's a normal phenomenon. Stannis and the others can expect it and should.

Even as old neighbors, they also know that the Yueshuang Kingdom is often "bullyed" and "robbed" by other kingdoms because of its weak military and good economy. Whenever they have an appointment with a "robber" country that they cannot resist, they will Hire outside forces.

After this back and forth, Yueshuang Kingdom has also become a popular country in the mercenary circle. This also means that Yueshuang Kingdom's orders are more likely to be favored by mercenaries in the market. After all, a generous and generous National-level "cooperation partners" with excellent reputations are also considered "hot potato" among the many orders placed on the black market.

……

At the frontline camp, Stannis is arranging the [-] reinforcements that have arrived at the front line. They were formed from the original militiamen in the Kingdom of Arland. Their combat effectiveness is very limited. However, if they are only used to take over the cities that have been captured, , then the problem is still not big.

"Your Highness Stannis, we have already made arrangements. One hundred thousand recruits are divided into small legions of 800 people, and they will guard the hundreds of towns that have been captured so far. In this way, most of our scattered elites will be You can return to the team and prepare for the final battle."

A veteran came to Stannis to report that the arrival of these [-] new soldiers, although better than nothing in terms of combat effectiveness, was still effective enough for defending the city and suppressing the civilian forces in the occupied areas of the Moonfrost Kingdom...

The most important thing is that the Umbrella Corps has captured nearly a hundred towns of 10 people and three cities of [-] people in the Yueshuang Kingdom. In other words, less than half of the territory of the Yueshuang Kingdom has changed hands!

In order to suppress these towns, Stannis had previously used his elite soldiers to form a small legion of 500 to guard and manage these towns, but now he has replaced them with new soldiers. For the sake of safety, the number has been increased from the original 500. 800 people...

In this way, 8 people are enough to suppress hundreds of towns. As for the three cities with a population of more than 10, they are used as garrison areas for the remaining 12 troops to facilitate support or response in different directions at any time.

"Very good, I understand. By the way, regarding the... noble man from the Umbrella Group, no matter what the other party's needs are, we must try our best to satisfy the other party, do you understand?!"

Although there was a tone of discussion in Stannis's words, they were actually filled with undoubted emotions. Therefore, those sitting below could only respond in unison seriously.

They all knew a little bit about the origin of Stannis, the Duke of the Kingdom of Arland and the King's brother, who was very respectful and even somewhat flattering. Of course, only a little bit...

They only know that this person may be from the Umbrella Group. However, only Stannis himself understands that the other party is not from the Umbrella Group, but from the "mother" force of the Umbrella Group, that is, that A mysterious force called "Bafu".

As the royal family of the Kingdom of Arland who has cooperated with the Umbrella Group for a long time, Stannis has naturally obtained relevant information, including about the "Bafu". Although he does not know everything about it, he generally knows that this force has There are many powerful people who occupy a place in the new world. Just because of this, they are worthy of their flattery and flattery...

Without him, just because in this world, the New World has long been recognized as the world of the "strong". Whether a force can gain a foothold in the New World or even break out of the world can explain the influence of this force in the entire world. Is the pyramid really at the top?

There is no doubt that in the eyes of Stannis, Bafu is such an existence that can occupy a place in the entire world and stand at the top of the world pyramid!
