Chapter 477: The Gap Between the Two Sides

Rolf had already met with the leader of the rebellion army. In fact, he did not have a good impression of Korod, who claimed to be a lord of the Silver Platter Kingdom, a former knight, and now the chief commander of the rebellion army.

That’s right. Rolf, who was at the bottom line of the noble class, actually had a bad impression of the former noble lord. It was indeed hilarious. However, Rolf was indeed disliked this scumbag. He burned, killed, and plundered. He just let his troops to commit all kinds of crimes, he poured out his anger on the citizens of the Dukedom of Leo, who had once treated them badly. Rolf did not like it.

However, Rolf had to express his understanding of this behavior.

This was also the reason why he did not fall out with them.

He was not a good person but he could not be considered a complete evil person. This sentence was somewhat paradoxical. However, after Rolf and Firentis stayed together for a long time, they could feel that their personalities had changed. Perhaps it was because of Kant.

The subordinates would take the initiative to change themselves or draw closer to their leader.

After all, a game was a game.

And now, it was reality.

Rolf did not say anything, not even a suggestion.

This former lord of the Silver Platter Kingdom was now on the right path. He was using his hatred for the slave owners of the Dukedom of Leo to awaken the fierce of his subordinates, who had been serfs for ten years and were once soldiers!

If not for this, they would have been completely annihilated by the countless encirclement and suppression!

The troops needed support.

Hatred was the most powerful point of support.

With hatred towards the Dukedom of Leo, these serfs could erupt with absolute power no matter what.

Even if the situation on the battlefield was bad, they could still persevere because of hatred. They gritted their teeth and suffered a large number of casualties. They would only surrender when there was no turning back. and before that, the infantrymen of the Dukedom of Leo had probably already collapsed!

Fighting with casualties, this group of hatred-based rebellion army would definitely not be weak!

This was why Rolf did not say anything.

He was not a good person.

Even if he could not stand such burning, killing, and pillaging, he did not stop it.

The current rebellion army was just enough to share the pressure of the alliance army of the North County. As long as the noble forces of the South County continued to divide their forces to wipe out these guys, they would lose the initiative on the battlefield.

If the alliance army of the North County won, the South County would become theirs.

Of course, the distribution of benefits would be troublesome.

At the very least, Rolf did not want the so-called rebellion army to gain even the tiniest bit of benefits.

The Dukedom of Leo belonged to Lord Kant. These former serfs had destroyed the basic agriculture of the South County. It would be difficult for them to escape unscathed. As for getting a share, that was just a pipe dream!

These captives from the Silver Platter Kingdom would be completely annihilated sooner or later.

Rolf already had a plan in his heart.

However, this group of captives who could not return to the Silver Platter Kingdom had temporarily placed their hopes on Kant.

Although they were still wary of Rolf, they also knew that if they lost the support of external forces, they would sooner or later be completely annihilated by the local noble families of the South County.

As the leader of the rebellion army, Korob was very clear that the current situation was at a critical juncture.

Therefore, he believed that he could negotiate with Rolf.

…

On a farm somewhere in the South County.

Korod sat in the main seat, surrounded by guards and captains in mail armor.

According to their former military positions in the Silver Platter Kingdom, they quickly organized a complete command structure. It could be said that they were able to deal with the private armies of the noble families that came to encircle them by relying on the rapid recovery of their former military concepts.

More than 10,000 old subordinates of the Silver Platter Kingdom who had gradually recovered their fighting strength, in addition to more than 20,000 peasants or serfs who had been kidnapped.

There were not only slaves who had been captured, but also those who became serfs due to bankruptcy.

As long as they were used well, they would not be inferior to these old subordinates of the Silver Platter Kingdom. They had no one to rely on to begin with. Now that they had the possibility of becoming free citizens, how could they not work hard? Even if they died and enjoyed themselves for a period of time, that would be enough!

Rolf entered the farm and looked at Karod, who was seated in the main seat.

Looking around at the guards and other captain, he frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “Mr. Karod, what’s wrong?”

“Please sit down, Mr. Rolf.”

Karod smiled and looked at him as he nodded. “Nothing much. We plan to talk to you about the direction of the next attack.” he continued, “I heard that the alliance army of the Northern County is still in a stalemate with the knight corps of the South County? It has been a while.”

“That’s right.” Rolf frowned, “Then what direction of attack do you want to talk about?”

“We found that the original plan, which is attacking the knight corps directly and supporting the alliance army of the North County from the back is a little dangerous.” Karod did not hesitate, “We want to go around and return to the Silver Platter Kingdom!”

“That’s right, we all want to go home!” the other captains nodded.

“Go home?” Rolf smiled. “Swim across the Resniston River and then go back to your Silver Platter Kingdom through the front line of the war set up by Dukedom of Leo on the south bank of the river?”

“Uh…” Karod and the other captains looked at each other, but they looked at each other.

“Stop joking.” Ralf was at ease. “You can’t even deal with the private army of the South County, and even the larger noble manors. How can you pass through the heavily guarded fortress and bunkers everywhere, as well as the south bank of the Resniston River, where the war castles are located?” He smiled and said, “Even if the Silver Platter Kingdom wants to bite down on that line of defense, it’ll be very difficult!”

“But we broke through it before!” a captain retorted.

“That’s because the Dukedom of Leo wasn’t prepared.”

Rolf said faintly, “Now, after ten years of development, most of the taxes of the Dukedom of Leo are used to defend the Silver Platter Kingdom every year. Are you sure you can still break through it?” He shrugged slightly, then nodded and said, “Alright, then let’s say that the development of the Silver Platter Kingdom is equally huge. After paying a certain price, they finally broke through that defensive line and completely took control of the south bank of the Resniston River. Just like the south bank of the river in the East County, it became the new county of the Silver Platter Kingdom. But are you sure that your troops can do this?”

“What do you mean?” the hot-tempered captain was already frowning.

“I’m sorry.” Rolf shrugged. “You guys are really too weak.”

He looked at the captain in the room, in the end, his gaze fell on Karod. “According to our plan, we will directly attack the knight corps of the South County from both sides. Then, we will have the right to negotiate with the Dukedom of Leo. When Lord Kant becomes the new grand duke, you will be his powerful reinforcements.” Rolf said in a deep voice, “It’s not impossible to become a noble here. Do you think that by returning to the Silver Platter Kingdom, you’ll be able to regain your former glory? I’m sorry, but your families would prefer that you die on the battlefield, rather than be humiliated and become captives and serfs, enslaved for ten years!”
