Bank''s worries were clear to Arthur.

    From the moment he decided to reform the Shanghe collar, Arthur knew that he would one day oppose those vassals loyal to Lingfeng castle and tustra family.

    The establishment of the first army was Arthur''s preparation for confrontation.

    In addition to guarding the sharp blade fortress and resisting foreign enemies, the first army was established to eliminate two feudal ministers who betrayed themselves.

    In addition to the two traitors, several other vassals were actually among Arthur''s imaginary enemies.

    With the gradual deepening of territorial reform, the first vested interests affected are all the vassals under Lingfeng castle.

    However, Arthur did not intend to fight them to the end, let alone fight with them.

    Regardless of merit or hard work, without the support of these vassals, lingfengbao and tustra family can not continue to this day.

    Therefore, Arthur had already made plans for their future - instead of staying in the manor as a local overlord, he might as well fight on a larger stage.

    As long as they remain loyal to themselves, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!

    Arthur originally planned to negotiate with the two traitors after they were solved.

    But the plan could not keep up with the change. Before he could solve the two traitors, the Green family and the nobles in the East took the first step. They not only formed a coalition to attack him, but also encouraged his vassals to rebel.

    The vassals stood still, and Arthur still gave them a chance. In the summoning order, he even clearly told several people that Lingfeng castle would not be defeated.

    But the result was that except for the original bank and Burley, the other five people either took him to restore the previous system as the condition for sending troops, or ignored it at all and waited for the destruction of Lingfeng castle.

    It is impossible to stop the reform. It is necessary for Arthur to eliminate the system of aristocratic enfeoffment and establish a centralized rule led by lingfengbao. There is no possibility of compromise.

    Since the feudal ministers only care about their own interests, he will naturally take their betrayal as an excuse to send troops to fight!

    It''s boring. It''s more or less like killing a donkey, but Arthur won''t be kind to women.

    At the moment, bank naturally did not know Arthur''s consideration, nor did he know that Arthur had prepared a new way for them. He was full of worry because of the seemingly easy war just now.

    With the strength of Lingfeng castle at the moment, even without their vassals, Arthur can guard the sharp blade fortress independently.

    If Lingfeng Castle won the war and Arthur mastered absolute power, what would he do with Grice and them? Like Nick and Baggins, do you Crusade directly, or think about the old relationship and forgive their betrayal?

    What about him and Berry?

    Was Arthur a stumbling block to his reform, kicked it away, or let them continue to exist in the current way?

    With all his thoughts in his head, bank looked sideways at burry again. At the moment, the only thing in the same situation as him was the beard.

    Beret had long recovered from his meditation and was now holding the wine bag and filling his mouth with ale. He is not good at thinking too much.

    "What are you looking at, you fellow? Don''t think I''ll give you wine!" said berry, glancing, with ale still on his thick beard.

    "Who wants the ale you''ve drunk!" bank was angry.

    It''s better to consult with the horse under his crotch than with this guy!

    The procession went on and soon reached a place beyond the dense forest.

    Looking at the tall trees, green grass and a forest extending from a dirt road in the middle, Arthur Lema stopped the team.

    Seeing that the team stopped, bank and others immediately rode to Arthur. At this time, two young men in black cotton clothes suddenly rushed out of the forest in front and ran to Arthur from the dirt road in the middle.

    Looking at the two people running, although they were not wearing armor and had no identity marks on them, bank and others recognized the identity of the two first army soldiers at a glance - the first army soldiers, in addition to being young boys, they also had short hair called "cuntou".

    "My Lord!" they looked up at Arthur with firm eyes.

    "It''s hard." he nodded at them. Arthur immediately ordered Bogu and Leite: "send orders and the first army will ambush in the woodland."

    "Yes, sir!"

    With Arthur''s order, Bogu and Rett immediately pulled their horses back: "everyone dismount and ambush in the woodland!"

    The soldiers of the first army who got the order immediately turned over and dismounted, quickly led the horses into the dense forests on both sides, and a moment later, even the sound of hearing the cable disappeared, and the whole forest was quiet again.

    Watching the first army disappear into the forest like a river in a moment, banks and others'' hearts jumped again - these guys even turned over and dismounted quickly and Qi.

    Glancing at the motionless forest, bank took his horse and asked Arthur, "Sir, what should we do? Do we need to hide in the forest?"

    Arthur handed the reins to Thorne, looked at the curious bank, his subordinate knights and others, smiled and said: "What are you doing hiding in the woods and watching Baggins ride their horses? Walk around, pee and shit. Those who are sleepy can sleep against the tree. According to the plan, Baggins and others will not arrive here for at least more than an hour."

    "More than an hour!" said Burley directly. "How hard it is for them to rush into the woods and wait more than an hour - Hey, why did you hit me!"

    As he spoke, he glared at the bank beside him discontentedly - this guy, why do you hit him if you have nothing to do.

    Looking at Arthur, bank smiled awkwardly - Burley, you fool, you need to talk!

    Looking at the two, Arthur said, "this is their task. Not to mention more than an hour, four or five hours, they have to stay in the woods and ambush."

    Woodland ambush is one of the training programs of the first army.

    During normal training, the ambush time is at least four hours. During this time, Bogu and Leite will randomly put the horse carrying the scarecrow through the forest land, and the arrows of the soldiers of the first army are marked. Those who are lazy and doze or do not have enough hit rate in archery will face certain punishment.

    Therefore, for more than an hour, Arthur didn''t worry that the soldiers of the first army would be unbearable. He just used this actual battle to test the training results.

    Obviously, burry didn''t quite understand Arthur''s words. He knew that the enemy would arrive at least an hour later. Why did he let the soldiers suffer in vain?

    After all, according to his observation, the first army is very different from ordinary knights or knight armies in terms of training methods, combat methods and even behavior habits.

    Arthur didn''t explain too much, and they didn''t ask too much.

    While waiting, nuke mortoriton, who had been silent, finally got up and walked to Arthur as if he had made up his mind.

    "Lord Arthur."

    "If you''re going to plead for your father, you''d better keep quiet," Arthur said bluntly as he looked at him.

    Nuke''s breath was a flash.

    He was really ready to plead with Arthur, hoping that he could forgive his father''s capital crime, but he didn''t expect that Arthur directly refused before he spoke.

    After thinking for a while, Nuuk said with difficulty, "Sir, I, I advised my father that he would have confessed to you, but then green --"

    "- but he still chose to betray!" Arthur interrupted. "I don''t care what your father thought. Who can be honored or convicted by his thought?"

    "If I can forgive a vassal who betrayed Lingfeng castle and even prepared to send troops to me, how should I treat these loyal and my knights!"

    "Nuuk, your father Baggins, he knelt in front of me and made a pledge of loyalty. Now, he must pay the price of his life for breaking the oath! It''s not your fault, nor mine. It''s his own choice of such a fate!"
