Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 488: The New Alliance with Rebellion Army

Kant had never thought of standing on the opposite side of the noble class. He was a noble himself, a person who had a vested interest in this class.

No matter how despicable a noble was under the table, they had to maintain their reputation and dignity on the surface.

This would help Kant subdue the other noble families.

Therefore, in this decisive battle, Kant rejected Rolf’s plan.

To conquer the world, it was not enough to rely solely on the heroes and soldiers of the world.

Even if Kant could recruit a sufficient number of heroes and soldiers, he could not afford the huge military expenses.

This was because the military expenses of the world’s army could only be paid in denar and could not be paid in the common currency of this world — small silver coins and great silver coins.

However, the only things that could be exchanged for denar were magic items and golden eagles in this world. These precious items were limited and would not be returned after being circulated through the trade caravan to the worlds of “Mount and Blade”. In this world, these items had indeed disappeared, using up little by little.

At present, Kant’s power was still very weak compared to this world. Therefore, the golden eagles and magic items he obtained from this world could barely support his army with the denar he exchanged.

When his forces became stronger in the future, the military expenditure would undoubtedly increase greatly. This meant that the consumption of magic items and golden eagles in this world would increase rapidly. This would cause the number of magic items and golden eagles in this world to decrease crazily. In the end, the production would not be able to keep up with his consumption rate.

At that time, even if he earned a lot of great silver coins, there would be no place to exchange for golden eagles.

Kant himself could foresee such a thing.

Therefore, from now on, he had to make a choice.

With the army from the worlds of “Mount and Blade” as the core, and taking in the world’s subordinates as support, they would conquer the world together.

This was different from his previous thoughts. Because Kant’s ambition was hazy, he always thought that he had enough power to protect himself, simply relying on a certain number of “Mount and Blade” heroes and soldiers to protect himself and his territory was enough.

However, the system’s main quest this time completely made Kant understand that his previous thoughts were too conservative. Just relying on the heroes and soldiers from the “Mount and Blade”, it would be difficult for him to truly conquer this world.

With such a comprehensive consideration, Kant planned to take the commander of the rebellion army, Korod, for his own use.

If it was a pure serf rebellion, even Kant would resolutely put an end to it. However, the commander-in-chief of the rebellion army this time was once a noble. Kant was able to re-establish him as an example.

The ten years of slavery experience of Korod, the commander-in-chief of the rebellion army, would force him to constantly desire to climb to a higher noble rank in order to soothe his dignity and honor. At the same time, he would use this opportunity to prevent other noble families from talking about him.

It was also because of his experience as a slave that he would not hesitate to kill other noble families.

To put it simply, Korod, the commander-in-chief of the rebellion army, was very suitable to be an executioner under Kant, and there was no room for rebellion. Because he was once a slave, it would make him stand on the natural opposite of other noble families. After Korod, the commander-in-chief of the rebellion army, was subdued by Kant, he could only rely on Kant.

Therefore, Kant said to Rolf on the other end of the crystal ball, “Rolf, your plan for the decisive battle is very good, but I can’t agree to accept it!”

Rolf was very confused, but he didn’t feel wronged. He asked, “Lord, why do you say that?”

At this moment, Rolf thought that since Kant didn’t accept his plan, there must be a better plan.

After all, the decisive battle was inevitable!

“Rolf, this battle is very important. We must carry out a fair and just battle. We must defeat and destroy the enemy from the front. We must use the blood and corpses of the enemy to forge our own honor. We must let all the noble families of the Dukedom of Leo truly understand how powerful we are.”

“Only in this way can we truly intimidate these noble families. In the future, when we subdue them, it will reduce a lot of trouble.”

Rolf was a smart man. As soon as he heard Kant’s words, he understood.

If they followed his plan to fight a decisive battle, although the price they would have to pay this time would be much lower, other noble families would think that the victory of this battle was only achieved through scheming. It did not mean that they were strong enough. Even if the other noble families submitted, it would only be on the surface. In fact, they would have thoughts that they should not have.

“Then, Lord, should I cancel the alliance with the rebellion army?”

In Rolf’s opinion, based on Kant’s strategic thinking, he could not continue digging a hole for the rebellion army. However, if that happened, the rebellion army might just sit on the sidelines and wait to reap the benefits.

Naturally, he would not be willing to do that. The battlefield was dangerous and unpredictable. He would not allow another army to hide at the side while they were fighting for their lives.

After breaking the alliance agreement, if the Rebellion Army dared to come near the battlefield, he would naturally think of a way. Even if he had to temporarily cooperate with the Southern County’s noble alliance army, he would first get rid of the rebellion army.

Unexpectedly, his highness Kant’s orders that were completely different from what he had expected came from the crystal ball.

“Rolf, Go and sign a new alliance agreement with the Rebellion army. Use the parchment paper that I gave you and cover it with the gold lion badge on a red background to write a new alliance agreement. The contents of the alliance agreement will not change. In addition to my promise, as long as the rebel army helps us achieve victory, after I become the new Grand Duke of Dukedom of Leo, I will make him a Baron.”

Rolf did not understand, but he obeyed Kant’s orders unconditionally.

“I will obey your orders, my Lord!”

Rolf’s voice was filled with doubt and confusion.

Kant explained the situation appropriately. During the war, Rolf and Firentis needed to cooperate with the rebellion army. Naturally, Rolf could not be confused.

“Since Korod wants to become a noble, I promise to let him become a noble. With this guarantee, it is inevitable that he will join us. I plan to set Korod, the commander of the rebellion army as an example. In the future, if we encounter such a third party, Korod’s existence will allow such a third party to join us between us and our enemies!”

Kant’s calm and deep voice sounded, “The Dukedom of Leo is very small. Don’t limit your vision to this place. We will have many, many enemies in the future.”

Rolf understood immediately and said again, “Rolf will follow your orders, Lord!”
