Chapter 1123: Winged Cavalry Regiment (Part 2)
Hundreds of members on horseback, knee to knee, launched a dense wall charge.
Relying on their superb equestrian skills, the team members skillfully controlled the horses and steadily increased their speed. No one ran too far ahead and no one ran too far behind.
The silver armor on their bodies reflected dazzling light waves under the sunlight. Ron and Nolid, who were watching the team members training at the edge of the training ground, couldn't help but raise their right palms to block the dazzling light waves.
The horse's speed gradually increased.
In an instant, these hundreds of team members rushed from one end of the training ground to the other.
The charge training had just ended. Ron, who was watching the training from the sidelines, couldn't help shouting:
"good!"
Ron usually has a hobby, which is hunting.
Ron, who loves hunting, is not a weakling who cannot even tie a chicken.
Ron, who has a little knowledge of riding, certainly understands how difficult it is to launch such a dense wall charge.
Therefore, after seeing his men complete such a difficult wall charge, Ron couldn't help but feel excited and proud of his men.
"Brother." Nolid on the side smiled at this moment, "This winged cavalry regiment is truly the pride of us Connaught people."
"Yes." Ron on the side nodded with a smile on his face, "It's really good. It's not in vain for my hundreds of millions of military expenditures every year."
"...brother."
After being silent for a while, Nolid suddenly spoke to Ron next to him in a slightly serious tone.
"As you just said, we spend a staggering amount of money on the Winged Cavalry every year."
"The soldiers' daily meals, monthly military pay, the manufacture of armors and weapons, the purchase of war horses...the sum of these various sums is a huge expenditure measured in hundreds of millions."
"We have spent so much manpower and material resources to have such an elite division as the Winged Cavalry Regiment."
"Brother, are you really willing to let our pride, our winged cavalry regiment, die for the center of the Britannia Empire?"
Nolid's words made Ron frown.
After listening to what Nolid had just said, Ron finally realized what Nolid's purpose was in inviting him to watch the Winged Cavalry today.
"Nolid..." Ron smiled bitterly and said in a half-joking tone, "You invited me to watch the training of the Winged Cavalry today. I thought you were just doing it to enhance the relationship between brothers. ”
"I didn't expect you to have another purpose."
"Brother." Nolid said with some apology, "I'm sorry, but no matter what, I can't help but watch the pride of our Connaught people die in vain."
"Brother!"
Nolid suddenly raised his voice.
"Please really think about it!"
"Is the Central Committee worth our desperate efforts to save?"
"Is it because we are vassals of the Britannia Empire that we have to save them?"
"Brother, the central government is not worth our efforts to rescue!"
“In addition to allocating land to us, what else has the central government done for us?”
"Who built this land? It was us and our ancestors!"
"Who is it that keeps everyone fed in this land? It's us and our ancestors!"
"Who built the Winged Cavalry? It was us and our ancestors!"
"Our current achievements and prosperity are all due to the hard work of our ancestors for generations!"
"What has the central government done for us?"
"Are there any funds allocated to us to build the fiefdom? Are there a large number of labor forces allocated to us to build the fiefdom? Are our annual tributes reduced or exempted?"
"The central government has done nothing!"
"The only thing the central government has done is to continuously increase the annual tribute rate and use different methods to rob us of the fruits of our labor!"
"Brother!"
Nolid looked distressed.
"What reason do we have to help them?"
Nolid's words made Ron lower his head for a moment and began to think deeply.
Ron, as the 18th Duke of Connaught, certainly understood how bad the central government's attitude towards their vassals was.
When he recalled the central government's attitude of only asking them for money, Ron's heart was involuntarily filled with resentment.
——These words of Nolid really make sense...
Ron muttered to himself.
——You are good to me, and I will be good to you.
——The central government has never been friendly to us, so why should I be so nice to them...
——The Winged Cavalry Regiment is the pride of us Connaught people and our hard work.
——Let our winged cavalry regiment die for the Central Committee. This is indeed... unacceptable...
--But……
--But……
--But……
——What’s the matter with this feeling of discomfort in the chest…
Ron was persuaded by Nolid.
Ron, who had an indecisive personality, finally tilted the balance in his mind towards Nolid's idea.
but……
Ron felt something was wrong...
I obviously feel that Nolid's proposition is reasonable, and I vaguely support Nolid's proposition in my heart, but for some reason I always feel that something is wrong...
My chest felt like it was blocked by something...
"Brother!"
Norid keenly noticed the change in Ron's expression. After seeing that his words just now had some effect, he immediately launched a pursuit:
"We can send troops to rescue the central government, but we don't need to send all our troops to support the central government!"
"We only need to send about 500 people."
"The remaining 1,500 people will stay here."
"As for why we don't send all our troops to rescue the central government - there are as many reasons as you want."
"Just make up a reliable reason and you can fool the envoys of the central government!"
"In this way, we have fulfilled our obligation to send troops to rescue the central government and also preserved our strength to the greatest extent."
"Kill two birds with one stone - brother, don't you think my plan is great?"
Ron: "..."
Ron was silent.
After a long silence, Ron finally sighed and nodded:
"Yes, killing two birds with one stone does make sense..."
Seeing that Ron finally nodded in agreement, Norid's face was filled with ecstasy.
"Brother, you..." Nolid asked cautiously, "Agree with my plan?"
"...Yes."
Ron was silent for a while again, and nodded again.
Ron has hesitated for too long on the question of how to send troops to rescue the central government.
Ron was also a little annoyed with this question.
He decided to make up his mind today-decided to adopt Nolid's proposal.
"You are right, we really don't need to be open-hearted to the central government."
"The central government has a bad attitude towards us, so we really don't need to be dedicated to them."
"Just do as you say."
"When the official envoys of the central government come, just make up a reason to fool him, and then only send 500 members of the winged cavalry regiment to support the central government."
"Brother!" Nolid was excited, "It's great that you can understand my painstaking efforts and ideas!"
"Yes." After nodding calmly, Ron turned and left, ready to leave the training ground.
For some reason, after expressing his acceptance of Norid's proposal, Ron felt a more severe blockage in his chest...
