Chapter 312 New Opponent
The title given to Raven by Grand Duke Eivor VIII quickly spread.
Even Raven, who was sighing within the high walls, heard it.
"Monster of Nord Province." Raven muttered this title and smiled softly.
To be able to scare the Grand Duke of a country to this extent is considered a great reputation.
After taking a sip of the strong tea, Raven carried the black cat Xikret to the table, then stood up and stretched greatly.
Soldiers are deadly weapons, and saints use them as a last resort.
Raven asked himself that he was not a saint, but since saints must pay attention to it, he naturally couldn't ignore it.
A fable in the past life mentioned that "an iron nail destroys a country". Although it is suspected of being exaggerated, its connotation is true.
In the military, no detail can be ignored.
Therefore, during this period of time, Lei Wen was almost always wearing clothes and armor, dealing with major and minor matters in the military.
But before he could relax for long, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Raven sat back behind the table and cleared his throat: "Come in."
Hoyaz pushed open the door and entered, first performed a military salute, then took out a letter stamped with lacquer from the bag on his waist, and placed it respectfully in front of Raven.
Raven opened the letter and asked:
"Is the process going smoothly?"
"You've got it, father." Although Hoyaz was also tired, his attitude was quite exciting: "I just led a dozen people around his castle a few times, and the baron immediately pushed his son away. Out.”
Raven chuckled, then turned serious:
"Let Hu Xia pass on the order, prepare the whole army, and set off on time the day after tomorrow morning!"
"Yes, father!" Hoyaz saluted solemnly and pushed the door open.
In order to ensure a smooth road ahead and smooth logistics operation, as well as to prepare for future marches, stabilizing the nobles of Tiehua County is an essential step.
It is not realistic for all these nobles to betray the Principality of Eivor, and Raven has no intention of ruling here for a long time.
So Raven issued an order to all the nobles in Iron Birch County, asking each of them to organize a group of serfs to be sent to the High Wall of Sighs, and to prepare their own rations for these serfs for one year.
Of course, at the same time, at least one child must be sent over to receive Raven's "education."
From now on, as long as these nobles don't stab Raven in the back, everyone can live in peace.
Not every noble will obey Raven.
However, things became simpler after Eric led a large group of Eagles to "help" a baron and clean up the "rebellious forces" in his territory.
The interests of the country are not equal to the interests of the nobles.
Damage national interests and preserve the family; protect the honor of the principality and sacrifice the family.
It is not difficult to choose between the two.
Of course, there are also some nobles who are far away from Sigh High Wall who are lucky and don't think Raven will go to great lengths to find them.
But as Hoyaz said before, as long as a dozen Wind Kings fly around their castle a few times, they will often recognize the reality.
On average, each of the 18 major regions in the Principality of Eivor is larger than a county in the Nord Province, with more people and more nobles.
Therefore, during this period of time, Lei Wen has recruited more than 14,000 serfs in Tiehua County alone, further improving his logistics support capabilities.
And the next target to attack has already been decided.
Raven grabbed a dart, aimed it slightly and threw it.
Do!
The spike of the dart sank into the map, right into the Bolland County gold mines.
There is also a portrait painted on parchment hanging next to it, with the name of the owner of the portrait "Count Tudor" written underneath.
……
Earl Tudor is 51 years old. He is tall and strong, with a round and plump face and a slightly sparse beard hanging on his chin. He looks quite approachable.
But whenever he gets serious, the fat on his face will turn into clear stripes of flesh, looking hideous and terrifying.
At this moment, Du Duo had this expression on his face, rubbing an ivory dice that had been coated with pulp in his hand. He looked at the guy in front of him who was beaten until he was unconscious, raised his hand, grabbed a bucket of cold water and poured it on him.
The running water washed away the blood and flowed through the nails of the fingers and toes that were knocked open one by one. The man who was missing his thumb woke up from the dirty wooden bench and took a sharp breath:
"Sir, I have told you everything I know. I really did not lie, I did not lie!!"
Du Duo's expression remained unchanged: "But you still didn't tell me how many hippogryphs there are."
The person on the stool looked in pain, obviously not willing to look back on that time:
"I, I don't know, I can't count! It's all over the sky, too many, too many!!"
"Maybe three hundred or five hundred?!"
"I can't count, I really can't count!"
Du Duo nodded slowly, turned around and walked out of the cell.
The man on the stool trembled violently: "My lord, my lord, you said you would let me go! You said -"
The words stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of air leaking after the trachea was cut.
Boom

The iron door is closed, blocking out all sounds.
The ivory dice moved back and forth between Tudor's fingers.
During this period of time, Du Duo has captured 38 prisoners who were released by Raven. After synthesizing and corroborating each other, he squeezed out reliable information about Raven's army from their mouths.
There are two legions, about 11,000 men, and a legion of about 5,000 men that did not participate in the battle and may be a reserve force.
But in Du Duo's view, it was more likely to be auxiliary soldiers.
The training level will not be too low, but the combat effectiveness is unknown. In short, it will not be like what the prisoners said, as if everyone is extraordinary.
The extraordinary number is far higher than that of ordinary barons, but apart from Eric, the only one who can affect the situation of the battle is Raven himself.
What really concerned Duduo was Raven's air force.
At present, its size should be between 150-250. Although it looks like a hippogryph, it has two kinds of innate magic.
According to the analysis of the third-level magician Kuili, it should be the "Wind King".
"Wind King...heh, what a big name." Du Duo smiled contemptuously.
Indeed, Tu Duo was also surprised for a while by sighing at the collapse of the high wall.
However, after learning the full picture of the war, he made a clear judgment.
The reason why the sighing wall fell was not only because of Wanda's incompetence, but most importantly, the surprise of Raven's air force.
Raven won that battle by relying on information differences.
Now that he knows Lei Wen's methods, Du Duo has also thought of a way to crack it.
Although Du Duo does not have an organized air force, he still has two flying monsters. As long as they are released, they can avoid the Wind King's attack.
With early warning, you can suppress it with long-range firepower and eliminate this trump card.
As for Raven's ground troops...
Du Duo clenched the dice in his hand.
He is not an unprepared Wanda, and now he has assembled an army of 30,000.
Enough to drown Raven's troops!
"The monster of Nordland."
Thinking of the panic attitude of the senior officials of the principality, Du Duo raised a smile:
"Let your head decorate my collection!"
