In the attic of the guard tower near the main entrance of the garrison camp at Lake Garmic, a young general in thick cowhide leather armor stood at the sentinel's position and looked out over the vast grassland with a lookout glass, while the sentry who was really in charge of the guard rested against the wooden fence below.

After the rainstorm, the grassland is full of greenery, and under the reflection of the scorching sun on the horizon, it exudes a charming bright light to show the vigor of vitality.

It's a mesmerizing view that will enthrallize those who see it for the first time. But the young general had no intention of appreciating the beauty, and he only passed by in a flash.

"Squeak"

"Squeak"

The wooden ladder of the watchtower was squeezed and made a very special grinding sound, and the young general in the attic lowered his goggles when he heard the sound, and the bright light of the war paint above his head flashed, and a pair of eyes fell to the entrance of the attic.

Walking into the attic was a middle-aged general, with a long black beard that stood out, wearing a Kawalburg general's leather armor and a family coat of arms at the collar that a young general had never seen.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Viscount Geerbork-Donner. "The middle-aged general is a military salute.

"Greetings to the Donna family, Sir Hades. Geebock Donner used aristocratic etiquette.

With humble smiles on both of their faces, Hades looked at the vast grassland behind Gerberk Donner and said as he approached the fence, "Well, nothing unexpected happened." ”

"As usual, not even an eagle could be seen in the sky. Gerbeck-Donner let out a sigh of relief, his voice tinged with a hint of anxiety and anticipation.

"All the prey in this grassland belongs to us alone. Hades's tone was full of confidence, and the heat wave on the prairie made Jean squint, and when the heat wave disappeared, he asked, "Are you ready?"

"Of course!" Jabbock Donner's words rang out as he looked at Hades, "I need the exact attitude of Cavalburg now." ”

"Baron Pedi will always be on your side. Hades tried to reassure, but then added in a changed tone: "But only if you keep winning." ”

Geerbke-Donna's dark eyes immediately turned blood-red, and he said bloodthirsty: "As long as Baron Pedi supports me, the army of Harrensburg will be invincible, and the army of the Bean Leader will be turned into a cold corpse under our iron hooves." ”

"Good!" Hades grinned, his long black beard and white teeth forming an eerie smile. He looked at Jebwick Donner and said, "Then, prove with facts that you are worthy of Baron Pedy's support." ”

"It's natural, but—" The young lord hesitated for a few seconds and said, "The Gula Mountain Pass..."

"Don't worry!" Hades said, looking into the depths of the grasslands, "just two hours ago, Sir Bruno of the Gulas answered our request to meet... I'll help you open and close the gates. ”

"It seems that the goddess is on our side this time. Gerberk-Donner laughed happily, "I seem to see the scene of's dastardly little man being slashed through the belly by a sharp sword and his intestines falling to the ground." ”

Hades smiled slightly, without commenting on it, and said: "I will arrive at the Gula Mountain Fort in two days, that is, at eight o'clock in the evening on the 28th, and I hope you will follow in my footsteps." "My men will help you block the two gates of the fortress," he stared at Gerberk Donner, "you know what you need to do, right?"

"Rest assured, not a single mouth will leave the fortress alive. ”

"Very well!" Hades said, "I can't wait to report your victory to Baron Pedy." ”

...

1216 in the continental calendar, 336 in the imperial calendar, September 12 at 3 p.m.

In the central area of the Jamich grassland, in the walled city of 2,000 garrisons led by Bien, the officers and soldiers who had had lunch were dozing off in the scorching sun high in the sky.

In the distance, on a rugged grassland path, a fast horse is hurrying forward.

Ignoring his injuries, a bloodied scout struck his mount on the crotch with his whip to stimulate it to run faster.

Five minutes later, the scouts outside the gate of the camp roared: "Alarm bell, ring the alarm bell quickly, enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Dangdang Dang"

"Dididi"

Soon, the piercing alarm bells and magic whistles rang through the sky at the same time, waking the sleeping officers and soldiers from their dreams.

However, at the whole time, the calm earth began to shake slightly, and rows of dense military flags slowly rose on the horizon of the endless grassland, and neat military columns appeared as if divine soldiers had descended from heaven!

The cavalry on the high ground on the left flank of the "Boom" was running wildly, and the smoke and dust it brought up seemed to cover the sky.

The piercing sound of eagles sounded, and several blood eagles in the walled city station hurriedly rose into the air and headed north.

A few rays of cyan streamers flashed in the blue sky, and all the blood eagles were shot down.

Half an hour later, the walled garrison was surrounded by a large army that was approaching on all sides.

As the banner waved and the army charged, the gates of the walled city were pushed open, and a knight with his retinue kneeled on one knee in the grass.

In the absence of reinforcements and retreat, the walled city commander chose to surrender!

This is undoubtedly the right choice.

Civil wars between Imperial lords are different from orc wars in that surrender is the most common thing, and in general, both sides of the war are willing to accept surrendered soldiers or nobles, as it would mean a large ransom. Two thousand healthy soldiers and six knights, this is undoubtedly a great fortune, and under normal circumstances, no one would refuse it.

However, the campaign was doomed from the start.

Half an hour later, two thousand officers and men led by Bien, who had lost their weapons and equipment, were concentrated on the vast meadow outside the fortress.

"Boom" The dull sound of war drums sounded.

Sharp arrows that "swished" into the sky rose from the array in the distance, piercing the sky in the blink of an eye.

The 2,000 officers and soldiers who surrendered immediately reacted, and the sounds of cursing, crying, and begging for mercy began to echo in the vast grassland, but these sounds were like inconspicuous ripples on the sea, and they could not change what was about to happen at all!

The ruthless and cold arrows fell mercilessly, and the turquoise grass was instantly infected with bright red, and the soldiers who were lucky enough to survive fled in panic, but a nearby cavalry raised their spears and charged at them.

"Ahh I saw that on the blood-colored grassland that had just been dyed red, a figure wrapped in holy power pointed to the sky and vented the sadness in his heart.

But soon the cry of sorrow ceased abruptly, and was replaced by a beast-like roar.

The Paladin, who was strong in the battle of "Bang", jumped out of a distance of at least ten meters with a single leap, and the person fell to the ground and shivered slightly. "Bang" He jumped up again, and in an instant it was a distance of more than ten meters!

His target is Jebrick Donner under the command of the Commander in the Eastern Highlands!

But his intentions were quickly recognized, and Harrens led the army to rush towards the paladin between the two holy power ascending, and between the collision of the three holy powers, a heavy hammer knocked the charging paladin backwards and flew out, but the other two were also shocked backwards by the force of the shock.

After the paladin who fell to the ground with "boom", he spat out a mouthful of blood, and continued to charge forward with his legs regardless of the injuries on his body!

He almost shuttled through the gap between the two of them who were shocked out...

But then he will be greeted with sharper attacks!

I saw that several arrows flashing blue light slashed across the sky, and the piercing whistling sound and the sound of breaking the air sounded just now, and the arrows accurately passed through the knees and abdomen of the paladin.

The paladin who landed on the grass was unable to stand up, and he wanted to drive the holy power to heal his wounds, but the countless glitches on the ground around him were indiscriminately covered in the blink of an eye. He could only rely on his weak holy power to resist the attack of the ground stab, but in this way, the wound was too late to be treated, and he could only let the blood in his abdomen flow all over the ground.

Before the paladin could take one last look at the world, more ground thorns covered his vision, and he didn't even have time to let out a scream, and the dense ground thorns passed through his body!

In the distance, the cavalry was in formation, they had just finished encircling and suppressing the fleeing people.

After a while, laborers pushing dilapidated carts began to enter...

An hour later, when the fire burned the bodies, the huge army assembled around it was long gone. The only thing that saw off the two thousand souls was a few dozen serfs dressed in sackcloth.

...

At the same time, hundreds of miles away in Birneburg,-Borg was listening to the treasurer's report on the new quarter's financial taxes.

All good news!

After the Orc War last year, Jackf-Borg sold a large amount of land in exchange for the support of the merchants of Crewe's territory in order to resume the development of the territory as soon as possible. What even he did not expect was that his decision would allow the trade economy, agriculture and crafts in the Bienburg region to return to pre-war levels in less than a year.

Especially after the trade reform in Kavalburg in the last four months, his family business has been making the same amount of profits as it had been in the previous three years!

All of this, there are reasons to make Borg happy.

But being a lord doesn't really go well, because there are always one or two nobles who will have different opinions.

The treasurer was only halfway through his report when Baron Jay Gero, captain of the Knights' Guard at Bhornburg, broke into Jacquefberg's office and interrupted him from a briefing on his great achievements.

"Baron Jay, what's the matter with you?"-Borg's impatient voice highlighted his displeasure.

"My lord, this is the third time you've heard a financial report this month, is their report that important?" Jay Geiro said with a very incomprehensible expression, "You should have paid more attention to the Gula Mountains lately. ”

"What's going on over there?" Jackf-Borg disagreed, "We haven't had a problem with Hallensburg for almost two hundred years, and it's going to be a problem in my hands... Besides, after the rainstorm half a month ago, the nobles of Hallensburg had no reason to go to war against us. ”

Jay Geiro said: "Viscount Geerbick Donner has always believed that his father's death was all due to you on purpose, and he has been waiting for an opportunity to declare war and revenge on you, and now for Harlansburg, no intention is the best chance. ”

"Is it a reason that at least two of the Borg's ancestors died in the battle against Harlensburg?" the young lord in his office chair shrugged, "Do you know why Beenburg and Harrensburg fight every year?" he asked himself, "because there are not enough people to feed more people on the Garmici steppe, and if we don't use war to divert conflicts, the Garmici steppe will soon be full of bandits and rebellions... And now the Jamich grassland has no such concerns. ”

"But our spies..."

"Baron Jay, those rats who live for money, they like nothing more than to exaggerate things and then take a good commission from you. Borg immediately interrupted, "My message clearly tells me that Hallensburg is quiet now, that dumb guy Jebbo knows to hide in the gym all day to train his muscles, and I even heard that his body is covered in war paints. He pointed to his head, "He didn't even let go of his own." ”

"Assiduous cultivation is a must for every nobleman, my lord. ”

"Don't use centuries-old rules, you know I hate that. ”

"So... My lord," Jay Gero asked, "where did you get your information?"

Borg looked at his guard captain for a few seconds, "Intelligence from Fort Caval, Baron Danmen Green bought a nice plot of land in Byanling. ”
