When Earl Kevin heard the news, he was naturally skeptical, there were no more than 2,000 cavalry in the entire garrison of Kale County, where could there be money to feed so many war horses in a barren place like Nanhuang County?

In fact, he forgot that the reason why the garrison of Kale County did not have many war horses was entirely caused by the greed of these high-ranking officials in the army.

The king would provide them with 500 horses every year to make up for the loss, but as soon as these horses arrived in the barracks, they were directly sold for gold coins, and it was strange that there were cavalry.

Viscount Neil knew that the other party would doubt his words, but he didn't explain much, he took a sip of tea, and his eyes glanced out of the door from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone.

After being silent for about three minutes, a guard suddenly ran in from outside the door, and he pointed behind him with a frightened face: "Si ...... Commander, outside...... He...... ...... outside"

The guard's facial expressions were distorted, and he couldn't speak well, as if he had encountered something that terribly frightened him.

Seeing this, Earl Kevin frowned, and was annoyed in his heart that this guard was embarrassed, but he said, "Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly." ”

Perhaps infected by his calmness, the guard's mouth gradually tightened, but the words he uttered made Earl Kevin shocked.

The guard pointed behind him and said in a trembling tone: "Commander, a large group of elite cavalry suddenly gathered outside the city, the number of which is two or three thousand, and I am afraid that they are going to attack the city." ”

Two or three thousand elite cavalry?

Earl Kevin jumped up as if his butt had been burned by fire, and said sharply: "Then what are you still doing in a daze, I feel like blowing the rallying trumpet, and everyone goes to the city wall to prepare for the enemy." ”

Although there were 30,000 soldiers on the roster of the Kale County garrison, there were actually only 23,000, and the remaining 7,000 places were naturally paid by the middle and high ranks of the army.

Not only is the number insufficient, but the combat effectiveness of these soldiers can also be described as tragic.

Due to the deduction of military salaries by their superiors, the low-level soldiers had to fend for themselves in order to support their families.

Or open up wasteland and farm, or work to make money.

That is to say, the difference between these soldiers and ordinary people is the title of multiple sergeants, and their combat effectiveness is actually no different from that of farmers.

Now there are less than 5,000 men and horses in the garrison camp, and it is a fool's dream to deal with 3,000 elite cavalry.

Earl Kevin was anxious, thinking in his head: Where did this cavalry come from?

At this moment, Viscount Neil suddenly spoke: "Junior brother, don't be nervous, I brought these people." ”

Hearing this, Earl Kevin turned his head to look at him, and suddenly his words just now sounded: Before I came, I specially selected more than 2,000 elite horses for use.

Suddenly, I felt that my throat was dry and tight, and I couldn't speak for a long time.

When Viscount Neil saw the other party's appearance, he couldn't help but feel very proud, and he didn't think that he would also have a time to show off his might.

He straightened his clothes and asked with a smile, "Brother Kaiwen, can you make a decision on what we just discussed?"

Earl Kevin was stunned and asked, "What are you discussing?"

Hearing this, Viscount Neil's already terrifying triangular eyes suddenly fell upside down, and he immediately reminded with a smile: "Naturally, it's a matter of suppressing bandits, you didn't see that I brought you all the helpers." ”

Count Kevin swallowed hard, his cheeks twitching, and he didn't know what to say.

Viscount Neil flicked his sleeves and looked at each other coldly, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's better to take a look at the help I brought you before making a decision." ”

With that, he walked out of the room first.

Count Kevin struggled in place for a long time, and finally stomped his foot and hurriedly followed: "Senior wait for me." ”

It wasn't until the two of them climbed the city wall that the horn of the assembly sounded, which shows how decadent and erosive the Kale County garrison was.

Upon the wall, Earl Kevin immediately saw the scene outside the city, and his jaw almost fell to the ground.

More than 2,400 elite cavalry are lining up in the wilderness outside the city, the armor is not glamorous, but there is a sense of depressing heaviness.

The armor that was supposed to be bright silver was covered in a little brown, and it was because the blood had penetrated the scratches from the sword and could not be removed, so these mottled marks were left.

Although there are only more than 2,400 cavalry, the powerful battle intent revealed is incomparable to tens of thousands of elite cavalry, this is the real division of a hundred battles.

Viscount Neil was already surprised, he pointed to the knights outside the city and introduced: "This is the Second Cavalry Division under the command of Governor Renard's First Cavalry Regiment. ”

"This cavalry division is the elite of the elite, with a total of 2,430 people, with an average strength of high-ranking warriors, all of whom have experienced a hundred battles. ”

"They were

With the Governor to quell the demon disaster, put down the rebellion of the Anti-Demon Alliance, and support Ignaz City, his combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. ”

Earl Kevin asked in a dry voice, "Then what ......are they gathering outside the city now?"

Viscount Neil smiled softly: "Naturally, I am here to help my junior make a contribution, as long as you decide to exterminate the bandits in Quill City, this army can be the vanguard." ”

Earl Kevin's cheeks twitched slightly, the other party's smile was quite hideous and terrifying in his eyes, and he secretly said in his heart: If Lao Tzu doesn't go, will they have to set foot on my station?

He was well aware of the strength of his subordinates, and it was unrealistic to rely on the city to resist the attack of more than 2,000 heavy horsemen.

After all, the other party came prepared, just by looking at the ten artillery guns lined up in front of the formation, he knew that if he didn't agree, it would only take a few salvos to blast open the gate of the city that had been in disrepair for a long time, and then the army would swarm into the city, which would be a massacre.

After struggling for a long time, Count Kevin finally lowered his arrogant head and smiled bitterly at Viscount Neil: "How can I not accept the kindness of the senior, I will gather the army and go to Quill City to suppress the bandits." ”

When Viscount Neil heard this, he knew that his mission had been accomplished, and the boulder in his heart finally fell to the ground.

He patted Earl Kevin on the shoulder, revealing an expression of "I am optimistic about you": "The city of Quill is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the junior needs to gather all the soldiers and horses." ”

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

Earl Kevin sighed deeply, knowing that he had no choice, he said to the guards beside him: "Pass the order, within three days, all the officers and men of the garrison will assemble here, and those who are not outdated will be subject to military law." ”

He is also ruthless, and since he has made a choice, he has to do his best.

Getting the exact answer, Viscount Neil did not hesitate and released the magic messenger that was ready for the fulfillment.

One messenger went straight to the southeast, and the other went into the cavalry array below the city.

After a while, the cavalry below moved, and began to slowly approach the city, and the sound of iron armor clashing was endless.

Earl Kevin was shocked, only to feel as if dark clouds were pressing down, lightning and thunder: "Senior......!

Viscount Neil raised his hand to signal him not to be afraid, and then smiled: "You can't let these military masters rest in the suburbs, right?"

After speaking, he looked at the garrison soldiers beside him and shouted, "What else are you looking at? Hurry up and open the city gate!"
