Chapter 326

Nord let his troops rest in caldera for a period of time, but the environment here is really seeping. It is quiet during the day and night. There is no vitality and vitality of other towns, just like a dead city.

It can be said that caldera is a dead city. In addition to nearly 1000 Nord troops, there are only a few hundred people left in the small town with nearly 3000 people. If you add more than 1000 soldiers in the East who died a few days ago, nearly 4000 people have died in this small town in just half a month. It's not too much to call it a dead city.

Although he felt some inexplicable silence and gloom, Nord didn't feel much fear in his heart, because the death of these civilians had nothing to do with Nord, and Nord avenged them. Anyway, they wouldn't find Nord's head.

As for the soldiers in the East, Nord is even less worried. Since Nord can kill them once, if possible, Nord can kill them a second time. Of course, this is all Nord's wishful thinking. What really makes Nord uncomfortable is the pungent smell of blood that has not dissipated.

During caldera's cultivation, something happened that made Nord laugh and cry, because a messenger from the East actually found Nord here. After his progress, he found something wrong, because the soldiers around him were completely different from him, but it was too late for him to escape.

From the mouth of the messenger in the East, Nord got the news about the Marquis of Stilwell. After the troops in the East were forced to disperse, he led the troops to cruise near the largest city in Central China, Belem city. Then some time ago, he suddenly found that the Marquis of Mellon had left unknowingly.

There is no defense in the middle, so Marquis Stilwell wants to gather the troops in the East again and win the city of Belem at one stroke, because even if Marquis melem has left, it is very difficult to win the city of Belem with his current strength.

There are also five earls in the East, but because the strength of the East is generally weak, there are only about 1000 soldiers of each Earl and those conscripted farmers. Coupled with the war with Marquis Melen some time ago, marquis Stilwell's men have also lost a lot of people, so now he is completely short of manpower.

Marquis TEWIN defeated a count in the north, and then another count in a well-known town after entering the middle. Coupled with the two earls defeated by Nord during this period, there are four out of five marques in the East, leaving only Marquis Stilwell and the remaining count. It is estimated that the number of people added together is just over 2000, With this number, it is impossible to capture Belem, the largest city in Central China.

Even if the Marquis of Mellon has left, the defense force of Belen city has become very empty, but as long as the city of Belen gathers hundreds of civilians and hundreds of soldiers left behind, the soldiers under the Marquis of Stilwell can be helpless. Therefore, after understanding this situation, the Marquis of Stilwell wants to gather his own troops.

However, the Marquis of Stilwell, who is far away in Belem City, doesn't know. The count he sent out has been cleaned up by Marquis Twain and Nord. Although Nord is unable to support Belem city at this time, the Marquis of Stilwell now is like a toothless tiger, which is estimated to cause little damage to the central region.

Even if the Marquis of Stilwell chose not to attack Belen city and continue to wreak havoc in the central region, Nord was powerless. If he wanted to maintain justice, he had to see what his ability was. Obviously, Nord, who is still in the convalescence stage, is not suitable to find the Marquis of Stilwell.

And the key point is that Nord believes that Marquis Stilwell will not miss such a good opportunity, especially when Marquis Mellon has left. If Marquis Stilwell still does some sneaky things in the central region, he will not be a marquis. The pattern is too small and has no courage at all.

Nord didn't know if the Marquis Stilwell found out when Marquis TEWIN led his troops through the central region, but Nord felt that the Marquis Stilwell would come to find himself, because there was no news from his three earls, and Nord didn't believe that the Marquis Stilwell would be indifferent.

So during this time, Nord gathered all the militias in the previous area and helped them train in the town of caldera for a period of time. When all the militias in this area were assembled, Nord found that there were so many militias in the central area inadvertently.

There were at least a thousand militiamen gathered from various towns. Then Nord was completely disappointed with them after the training. Although there were many of them, they were of no use at all, although Nord had given them the equipment seized from the soldiers in the East.

However, the improvement of combat effectiveness is still very small, which is estimated to be similar to those ordinary conscripted soldiers, or they are equivalent to those conscripted soldiers of the nobility, that is, the cannon fodder devastated by Nord on the battlefield. Before, the purpose of those conscripted soldiers in the East was to build momentum, and then to absorb arrows on the battlefield, Nord doesn't see their combat effectiveness at all.

In Nord's army building concept, the most important thing is to have a strong army. Even if there are more cannon fodder regiments, they will not play a decisive role in the real battlefield. There is no benefit except to increase casualties. Unless many cannon fodder regiments are built on the basis of a large population, give full play to the advantages of human sea tactics and crush the enemy with human life.

But what Nord needs most now is the population. Nord wants to split one person in half. Even if these militias are not the population of Nord territory, Nord doesn't want them to sacrifice in vain. This is not Nord's character.

After these militia trained in caldera for a period of time, Nord asked them to return to their own town. Nord planned to let them defend their own town. After all, when the Marquis of Stilwell attacked, Nord didn't want to divide troops to help them.

However, this is also the original intention of Nord's militia team. Nord didn't plan to let them fight at the beginning. It is estimated that Nord's team may encounter a major crisis when it really needs to count on them, that is, to do some work of transporting materials or cleaning the battlefield like the baggage team.

Therefore, Nord doesn't want them to stay to defend the city at all. Nord has been able to defend the city with his soldiers, but he doesn't have the ability to attack. Therefore, these excited militias outside are very important. They can protect themselves from each other.

More than 1000 people's soldiers can protect this area from small forces, so Nord can defend the city safely, and Nord is also very confident in the city guarding ability of the word, so Nord is now sitting on the Diaoyutai. Even if the Marquis Stilwell doesn't come, Nord has tried his best. After all, half of the territory in the central region has been rescued by Nord.
