Chapter 1074: The Duke of Connaught

As for the soldiers, your officials don’t need to worry! Bancro responded in a tone that showed no signs of weakness, "Indeed, as your noble officer just said, we can currently only summon about 2,000 soldiers from the garrison troops in the cities around Pendragon." "

"But we now have two ace troops in Pendragon City available for deployment!"

"There is also a strong reinforcement force that can be invited!"

"One of the ace troops is the soldiers of the Royal Guards, who still have 1,000 soldiers left!"

"As for the other ace unit..."

Having said this, Bancro moved his eyes and slid them over the faces of the ministers beside him one by one.

"I believe many people here are wondering why Miss Alyssa is here." Bancro said, "Actually, the reason why Miss Alyssa is not in the North but in Pendragon is very simple. ”

"Miss Alyssa just came to Pendragon to visit her grandma."

"The reason why she is here right now is that simple."

"Miss Alyssa actually did not come to Pendragon alone."

"She was escorted by a troop and returned to Pendragon!"

"And this force is the ace force of the Michael Knights - the Delan Immortal Force!"

Delan Undead Team - as soon as this word came out of Bancro's mouth, everyone present exclaimed in surprise.

Through the huge activity in the "Aurora" offensive two years ago, the name of the Delan Undead Team has already spread throughout the continent.

The name Delan Immortal Team is already known to everyone.

Bancro then continued:

"Captain Cheng sent 200 members of the Delan Immortal Team to escort Miss Alyssa to Pendragon."

"I believe everyone knows what a powerful force the Delan Undead Force is."

"Every member of the Delan Immortal Team can equal ten to one."

"With the help of these 200 members of the Delan Immortal Team,

It's equivalent to getting help from a 2,000-strong army! "

"At the same time, as I just said, in addition to having this ace force stationed in our Pendragon, we also have a strong reinforcement force that we can invite!"

"Reinforcements?" Alfred frowned, "Where can we invite reinforcements at this time?"

"Of course!" Bancro raised his hand and pointed towards the west, "We can ask for reinforcements from the Duke of Connaught!"

"Duke of Connaught?!" Alfred shouted in surprise.

There are two types of nobles in the Britannia Empire.

One is the kind of noble with no title and no fiefdom. Most people are this kind of nobles.

Su Cheng, Iser, and Albert are all nobles with empty titles.

Another type of noble is the noble who owns a fief. For this kind of noble, people have always called them "territorial noble" or "fief noble".

In addition to having higher autonomy in their respective fiefdoms, territorial nobles also have a special privilege, which is the "right to recruit troops."

To put it simply, it means having the right to assemble your own club in your own territory.

However, the force they can possess is strictly controlled by the central government.

Among the territorial nobles, the person with the lowest title is still an earl.

According to the regulations of the central government of the Britannia Empire, vassals at the duke level can only have a maximum of 2,000 troops, vassals at the marquis level can only have 1,000 troops, and vassals at the earl level can only have 500 troops.

Because these territorial nobles have to pay a large amount of tribute to the central government every year, many territorial nobles are not actually living a wealthy life.

In addition, many vassals do not actually have the need to form their own private troops, so there are actually very few vassals who have the ability to form a full force.

The Duke of Connaught is one of the few vassals with a full organizational branch.

The Duke of Connaught—sits in the richest fiefdom and is the richest among all the territorial nobles in the Britannia Empire.

Precisely because of its wealth, it has enough financial resources to form a well-equipped private army.

Because the central part of the Britannia Empire limited the number of troops in the private tribes of territorial nobles, no matter how wealthy the Duke of Connaught was, he could only have an army of 2,000 troops at most.

Since the quantity cannot be changed, the Dukes of Connaught have focused their energy on improving the quality of soldiers in the army.

The 2,000 soldiers of the Duke of Connaught are not only well-equipped, but also the elite of the elite who can be used as cavalry when mounted and as infantry when dismounted.

Whether it is equipment level or training level, the combat effectiveness of the Duke of Connaught's private tribe is higher than that of the ordinary soldiers of the Knights.

The Duchy of Connaught, the fiefdom of the Duke of Connaught, is located not far to the west of Pendragon.

In terms of distance, he is the closest nobleman to Pendragon.

Although there are many territorial nobles very close to Pendragon, judging from their strength... they might as well not come. If they come, they will probably only be a disservice.

Therefore - among all the territorial nobles close to Pendragon, only the Duke of Connaught has the ability to come to support Pendragon.

After pointing his finger towards the west, Bancro continued loudly:

"Send envoys to the Duke of Connaught and request reinforcements from the Duke of Connaught!"

"As long as we can get the help of the Duke of Connaught, we will have an additional 2,000 reinforcements! And it is a reinforcement with extremely high training and equipment levels!"

"The 2,000 soldiers we can currently summon from the garrison troops of the surrounding cities, plus the 200 members of the Delan Undead Team currently stationed in Pendragon and 1,000 soldiers of the Royal Guards, plus the 2,000 troops of the Duke of Connaught, our military strength will be as high as 5,500. Among them, 3,500 are the elite of the elite."

"This number of troops should be enough to fight with Allen's rebels in the center of Pendragon?"

Bankro's words made the sweat on Alfred's forehead more dense.

While Alfred was thinking about how to throw new and more tricky questions to Bankro, Bankro quietly turned his attention, faced Ilsa and His Highness, and then knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty! Your Highness!" Bankro said respectfully, "I and my colleagues have worked out a battle plan that has the hope of defending Pendragon within 10 days as promised."

"If we implement my battle plan, we will have the hope of holding on until Su Cheng leads the Knights of Michael to come back for support."

"Whether Pendragon should fight or defend is not decided by us as subjects, but by your Majesty."

"However, as subjects, although we do not have the right to decide, we have the right to make suggestions to your Majesty."

"Therefore, I hereby formally make a suggestion to your Majesty-"

Bankro changed to an unprecedented serious tone.

"Defend Pendragon to the death! Never let Pendragon fall into the hands of the enemy!"
