A night passed quickly,

It was a calm night, and even the Baru scouts at the front did not encounter any of the troops of the Sukh Plains, and the imaginary clash did not take place.

As a result, Pedi reversed his previous order and ordered the Fifth Army to abandon its encampment mission and let them continue to move in the direction of Suk City.

At ten o'clock in the morning, when the follow-up artillery regiment and two musket regiments arrived at the camp outside the mouth of the canyon.

In the makeshift command post, there was an argument among the officers of the various ministries ...

Some people think that it is time to advance to the southwest in order to prepare the army of Fort Norma so that the two armies can meet before attacking Suker City, while others feel that they should attack the nearby Suke City directly.

"Two hundred miles west from here is Suk City, my Fifth Army is already marching towards Suk City, and the vanguard army will be able to reach the city of Suk in a day!" Goblin Kanai's shrill voice overwhelmed everyone, "Why waste time attacking Napros City farther away?"

"With the strength in our hands is simply not enough to take Suk City, we must unite the forces of Fort Norma. "Colonel Jace Robbke, the commander of the musket unit, a nobleman from a military family in Crewe, was strong and tall, and he always tensed his facial muscles when discussing problems, making his whole person look unusually terrifying.

"Let those recruits at Fort Norma help us, they won't even use their own bows and arrows!"

"The people of the Jean family don't know how to use bows and arrows!" a Kru noble general couldn't help but repeat the sentence.

"Haha"

The brief silence was followed by the unbridled ridicule of countless nobles and generals. The once mighty Jean family is now the object of ridicule from the nobility!

"The Felder leads the crossbow arrows are good, I've used them," a Twak Duchy nobleman in the Fifth Army shrugged, "but now the Felder don't produce repeaters, and it seems that the elves have the final say." ”

"The lands of Felder are rife with oathbreakers and patricides. ”

The traditional nobility of the Crewe and Tekawa clans did not have the same respect as they used to when it came to the Jean family. Because of the oath of Rue-Ize, and then the father-killing of Mondstadt Jean, all the glory of the Jean family has been wiped out with these two events.

"Bastards, we're talking about war on Suker City right now. Kanai jumped onto the stool and pointed with his short arm at the officer who had pulled the subject away.

"Hey, you damn little man, we're talking about the war in Suker City. ”

It's a new round of controversy...

Pedi didn't participate in the argument, and he whispered to his entourage about other things.

"How's the fighting going over there in Tyre?" asked Pedi about his secretary-general, Wolfmar.

Wolf Ma replied, "There is not much progress, and the military report sent by Bowenwright explains that it will take at least half a month to break the outer defensive line of Tyre Town. ”

"Half a month?" Pei Di frowned, "There are no troops in Tyre Town?"

"So far... Not yet. When Wolf Ma answered this question, she carefully recalled the previous report of the Military Intelligence Department.

Pei Di took the information from Wolf Mar and flipped through it, "The mouth of the Ronice Canyon is now in our hands, and the Suke City Council should have a result even if it is slow to react..."

"Your Majesty, it's been less than fifteen hours since we occupied the mouth of Ronais Canyon. Anse Zora calmly recounted, "No matter how efficient the Suker City Council is, it is impossible to discuss this matter in fifteen hours. ”

"If they continue to discuss this, my troops will arrive at the city of Suke. Scratching the short beard on his face, Pedi instructed his secretary-general, "Send a letter to Duke Andy Barrett and Duke Mondstadt-Jean informing them of the fact that I am about to conquer the city of Suke. ”

...

It's been a long time since Andy Barrett has used his holy power to kill on the battlefield, and his mood at the moment has never been better, and the belligerent blood of the Twaks in his body is boiling.

"Poof"

Between the swings of the war hammer, the breastplate of one of the guards of the guard tower of Kwyn Town was smashed and collapsed, and the blood bubbles at the corners of his mouth flew out upside down at the same time, Andy Barrett felt the blow in his hand, and the holy power of his whole body doubled in the boiling blood, and his body jumped into another battle circle.

"When!

Two magic arrows flying from a distance struck the armor, causing Andy Barrett, who was about to step forward, to take two steps back, and the surrounding guards immediately held their shields in the middle.

"Get out of the way. Andy Barrett pushed his guards away, staring at the two longbowed archers on the high ground of the enemy army on the flank, "Kill them for me and move forward!" With that, he grabbed a shield and advanced the first to the last of the enemy positions.

An hour later,

Andy Barrett stepped on a corpse and spat on it, staring at the other's eyes, which had completely lost their brilliance, and still stepped on two more feet in anger.

"Your Excellency, you are the overlord of the highland steppes, and they... But an insignificant soldier. Claire, who arrived, grabbed Andy Barrett's arm and quietly pulled him aside to prevent him from doing anything that would damage his honor.

"They were challenging the authority of the Barrett family just now, and I just gave him the ending he deserved, and it was their honor to die at my hands. Andy Barrett let out a sigh of relief.

"Every warrior has their dignity, and if you trample on their dignity, you are trampling on your own dignity. Claire's tone became more and more stern, "Your soldiers are watching you, what do you think the way you just look will make them think?"

"No matter what they think, they have to be loyal to me. Andy Barrett subconsciously looked around, and all he responded to was a respectful gaze.

"That's what you want you to rule?"

Andy Barrett subconsciously wanted to say the word 'of course', but when he saw Claire's serious expression, he immediately retracted his willfulness and spread his hands to show a very innocent expression, "Okay, I was wrong, you don't want me to apologize in front of everyone, do you." ”

"You are now the ruler of the Duchy of Twak, not the playboy of Suk City, and you need to be mindful of your words and actions at all times. Claire's tone softened.

"Understood. Andy Barrett also nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I just ... It's just that... You know. He shrugged, "What did you come to me for?" He quickly changed the subject.

"An official announcement came from the Kingdom of Crulia through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Claire didn't dwell on this matter either, and he followed Andy Barrett's question and said, "Two days later, the army of the Kingdom of Crulia will be under the city of Suke. ”

"How could it be so fast!" Andy Barrett was startled, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from his palms at this moment.

"The kingdom's army has used a new weapon, and the fortress at the mouth of the Ronales Gorge has been reduced to ruins in just one day under the attack of this weapon. Claire's tone was solemn, but more incredulous, obviously... He didn't believe it either.

"Are you kidding?"

"I hope it's a joke too," Claire shook her head with a wry smile, "but this is an official announcement from the Clearria Foreign Ministry, and King Pedy Reagan shouldn't be joking on this issue." ”

Andy Barrett took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the messy battlefield, the feeling of joy after the victory in this small battle was immediately diluted. After half a ring, he looked at the blue sky to the south, "What kind of weapon is that?"

"There's no information yet, but I believe it has something to do with the new equipment that the Crewe City Joint Laboratory introduced a year ago, and what we got is that it's a musket-related weapon, but it's more powerful. ”

"No specific information on such an important piece of information?" Andy wanted to be angry, but the soldiers around him were watching him.

"Our intelligence system in the Kingdom of Kruria has suffered a devastating blow in the past year, so much so that you ordered the withdrawal of nearly seventy percent of the MI agents in the Kingdom three months ago. Claire reminded in a low voice.

"That's also the MI guys are idiots. Andy Barrett dropped the sentence and threw the hammer in his hand to his servant, walked over to the nearest group of horses, turned over and galloped towards the rear headquarters.

More than ten minutes later, Andy Barrett returned to the war room and rushed all the officers inside to the command post outside.

Claire followed the officers as they left and walked into the war room.

"What's going on in Tyre now?" said Andy, anxious.

"The 200,000 Kingdom troops have arrived outside Tyre Town, and I estimate that in half a month, the Kingdom army will meet the defenders of Tyre Town on the walls of Tyre Town. The real war will come soon, and it will be useless no matter how smart the woman is then. ”

Claire's answer was heavily subjective, and Andy Barrett was used to such subjective opinions, and he looked at his chief advisor very seriously, "You also said before that the mouth of Ronales Canyon could not have fallen at all, but Pedi only took a day to capture it. ”

"All I have to do now is close my eyes, and I'm Pedi proud. Andy grumbled and slammed his fist on the wooden table next to him, "Now that the gates of the Suker Plains have been opened to Pedi, maybe he will be crowned in Suke City in a month, and you and I will have to kneel on the ground and salute him." ”

Claire's eyes darkened slightly, he wanted to prove himself more than his own lord, but reality required him to bow his head.

"When King Pedy Reagan's army arrives at the city of Suke, the balance will be upset in an instant. Claire took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions, "Her Highness Penny Reagan's reign will be very seriously challenged, and if she can't handle it well, maybe..."

Andy knew exactly what Claire meant, and there were many people in the Suker Plains who supported Pedy Reagan, and he could imagine what would happen next in the Suke Plains. However, these things have nothing to do with him, and what he has to do now is to fight for more benefits for the Duchy of Twak in the Suk Plain as soon as possible before the end of this war.

"We don't have time to continue like this. Andy Barrett's fist kept pounding on the table, "I want to see the walls of Kwyn in ten days, can I do that?"

"Unless it's storming at all costs..."

"Then storm it, the Kingdom of Crulia will pay for the logistics materials we consume!"

...

Outside the city of Napros,

The army of Duke Mond-Jean and the troops of Feld at Norma Castle came out of the camp at dawn and assembled outside the city of Napros. The various defensive lines outside Napros were indifferent to the build-up of the Fort Norma coalition forces, allowing the Fort Norma coalition forces to line up outside their various defense areas.

At ten o'clock in the morning, with the sound of loud military trumpets, the allied forces of Fort Norma gathered outside the city of Napros, and simultaneously launched an attack on the various defensive lines of the city of Napros.

The Duke of Mondstadt-Jean took this war very seriously, because for him, winning this war would not only wash away the family's defeat and the shame caused by the defeat in the war last year, but also restore the prestige of the Jean family in the Suke Plains.

To this end, he personally led the soldiers to fight on the front line of the battlefield to inspire the soldiers to fight bravely.

After a day and a night of fierce fighting on a narrow earthen walled line, the defenders of the Suk Plain retreated to the city of Napros after 3 p.m. on 17 June.

On the right flank of Napros City, soldiers were clearing the battlefield, and the bloody battle was followed by a bleak scene, the soldiers were mourning their lost friends and seeing them off, the officers were staring at the cold numbers on the statistics list in a daze, and Mondstadt-Jean was wandering aimlessly with a bloody two-handed sword.

"What now, should we continue to attack Napros City, or will we advance north to meet the army of the Kingdom of Kruria and under Suk City?" The half-elf general Dori, dressed in a neat military uniform, was out of step with the bloody scene around him, but he didn't care about the neatness of his body at all, leaning against a bloodstained wall and staring at Mondstadt-Jean.

"I'd like to hear your opinion. "Mondstadt-Jean appeared humble.

General Dori chuckled, "I suggest marching to Suk City to make peace with the army of the Kingdom of Kruria, and end the war on Suk Plains as soon as possible." ”

"How many defenders are there in the city of Naplis today?"

"Nearly ten thousand!" replied to Mondstadt-Jean, "however, in the many villages and towns north and west of Napros, the Suk Plains Council has a large number of militia regiments, and these militia soldiers have undergone at least half a year's military training, and with sufficient equipment, Napros can arm an army of 20,000 men at any time. ”

"But they can't be well equipped. Dorry shrugged.

"This war is very important to me and I can't afford to lose anything. Mondstadt-Jean took the scabbard from Hu Cong's hand and sheathed it, "I have decided to take the city of Napros first. ”
