Chapter 0400: At War
After understanding the situation, Betty coldly dropped two sentences: "Stay honest, don't run around." ”
With that, she turned and walked out the door.
Seeing this, the messenger's mind turned sharply, wondering if he could escape with this woman hostage, but just thinking about it, how could he dare to do it.
Betty left and walked straight to Heidi's office, her expression becoming lighter, like a child who had just accomplished some great feat and was about to ask for a prize.
Seeing this, Heidi couldn't help but shake her head and laugh: "What's the matter?
Betty nodded smugly: "Of course." ”
After speaking, her face fell again: "But it's all not very important news, a little useful, and the Ministry of Intelligence has heard it clearly." ”
Heidi was not disappointed, but was very relieved: "This shows that our intelligence network is very accurate. ”
After thinking about it, Betty felt that there was some truth, and she was not so depressed.
Renard happened to enter the door, and when he saw her so happy, he smiled and asked, "Is there anything to be happy about?"
Betty stuck out her tongue: "It's nothing, the courier has explained something, but it's not as detailed as the news from the intelligence department." ”
Lei Ye smiled and nodded: "That's good, at least we can be sure that our information is correct." ”
Renard did not follow the army to crusade against Earl Shelley, after all, he was not outstanding in military command, and with Ray Dawang, Henry, Ashley, Tracy and other capable generals, he did not need to be instructed at all.
He turned to look at Heidi and asked, "Are the supplies ready?" ”
Heidi nodded, all ready to be sent to the front anytime and anywhere.
Lei Ye smiled very brightly when he heard this: "I don't know what kind of wonderful expression Earl Shelley will have after fighting with those lords and finding that he has gained nothing." ”
Heidi shrugged her shoulders and couldn't help but put a charming smile on her face: "I'm afraid that without our own intervention, those lords who feel that they are being used can tear them to pieces, unless Earl Shelley is willing to bleed." ”
After speaking, the two showed a wicked smile on their faces, and Betty didn't know why, so she could only follow Silly Le on the side.
Two days later, an army of 8,000 arrived in the Barony of Gaskel.
The lord, Baron Taut, is a wall-weed, and the wind blows wherever it falls.
Earl Shelley rallied the members of the Anti-Demon Alliance to fight against the twenty-four betrayers, and he wanted to gain some benefit from them, so he sent dozens of sergeants and hundreds of farmers to fight.
However, what he never expected was that the Earl of Shelley would dare to declare war on the Earl of Meredith, and since he had already gotten on the chariot, he would have to accept the bitter consequences of defeat.
After the army approached the city, the baron took the initiative to open the city and surrender.
Renard stripped him of his knighthood on eight counts of breaking unity and provoking war, and the army marched into the Barony of Gaskell and took it for himself.
This means that from now on, all 30,000 square kilometers west of the Barony of Gaskell will be owned by the county of Meredith.
At the same time, nearly 80,000 allied troops led by Earl Shelley also slaughtered the fiefdoms of the twenty-four lords.
The number of peasants in the coalition army accounted for nearly three-quarters, that is, the number of regular troops was only more than 20,000, and the rest were all waving flags and shouting for dry food.
Of the 20,000 regular troops, Earl Shelley's army accounted for nearly 20 percent.
He sometimes even wondered if these lords couldn't afford to feed so many farmers, so they came here to eat dry food.
However, in any case, the momentum of the 80,000-strong army is sufficient.
The first to be hit was Baron Felton's domain, which was small with a total population of just over 5,000 points, and the coalition forces took it without much effort.
Baron Felton tried to run away when he saw that something was wrong, but he was caught on his knees, and he hurriedly fell to his knees and begged for mercy, only to be executed by the angry Earl of Shelley.
Renard couldn't help but laugh when he found out, the other party had done him a great favor.
To be caught is to die, and who of the remaining twenty-three lords would dare not resist with all their might?
The Earl of Shelley was almost carried away by his anger, for he had searched the Baron of Felton's domain dozens of times, but had not found even the slightest thing of value, let alone the mountains of supplies.
The nobles who followed the crusade army were all full of black lines, and the feeling of being used spontaneously arose.
Earl Shelley hurriedly stabilized the morale of the army: "Baron Felton's territory is the weakest of the twenty-four lords, nothing is normal, I'm afraid that all the valuable things are in Viscount Nelson's territory." ”
If Viscount Nelson heard this, he would have to jump to his feet and scold.
He was really wronged, and he only accepted three grants from the Earldom of Meredith, and each time it was not a lot, and the third time he was half-cut off.
Viscount Nelson was unjust, but he didn't think to explain anything, in fact, he didn't know what Earl Shelley was thinking.
On the fourth day, 80,000 allied troops arrived under Hubbard.
Viscount Nelson is also a man with backbone, swearing not to open the city and beg to surrender, the two sides fought fiercely for two days and two nights, and finally the city was breached, and the viscount died in the chaos of arrows.
Viscount Nelson's family is quite rich, and the income of thousands of gold coins makes the leaders of the coalition forces very happy, but it turns out that they are in a struggle over how to distribute it.
Earl Shelley's coalition forces are on the move, and the army of Earl Meredith's ranks is not idle.
Cleaver was worthy of being a vanguard general, personally leading his troops to charge and kill, successively conquering three baronies, and the army had to repair every town it conquered, waiting for the reservists in the rear to come and take over the defense.
On the eighth day, Earl Shelley received bad news, and two of Duke Edmund's generals, Trollope and Coverdale, led 6,000 elite soldiers from the south to the Alliance.
Suddenly, people's hearts fluctuate.
On the thirteenth day, an army appeared in the north of the coalition, numbering about 10,000 people, under the banner of the Creighton family.
Earl Shelley suddenly made up his mind: "I just received news from my wife that the Creighton family is willing to send troops to help us fight the rebellion, and tens of thousands of troops have arrived in the north of the alliance. ”
The coalition forces, which had been on the verge of disintegration, were once again closely united, and this time their attack was aimed at the territory of Viscount Chaplin.
Viscount Chaplin was a martial nobleman, his grandfather had accompanied Rochelle the Lionheart on his expeditions, and he himself had studied military affairs since childhood, which was not at all comparable to those wine bags and rice bags.
Moreover, his territory was quite strong, with a population of more than 20,000 and seven or eight thousand, and he was holding on to the city, and he was evenly divided in a short time.
On the nineteenth day, the Creighton army joined up with the coalition forces and conquered the city in only half a day.
Viscount Chaplin fled westward under the protection of his guards and was sheltered in the county of Meredith.
