At six o'clock in the morning on November 11, the northwest territory of Herien.

Outside the Highland Pass to Twak Territory, the thick fog of an autumn morning turned the surroundings white, and the dark night sky made the area so low that it was impossible to see the road with a torch.

In this environment, what should have been a quiet passage is now full of people. not

However, I saw that countless ups and downs of firelight were moving forward rapidly in the white mist, and the sound of Bingge iron weapons rubbing was even more reverberating.

It's a huge army that's moving fast,

A life-like embroidered war horse can be faintly seen on the moving battle flag,

This is the elite of the headquarters to which Duke Andy Barrett belongs to the Twak Collar!

On the flanks of the marching columns, countless lights with white light moved back and forth, and it was the herald with a magic lamp in his hand that could pierce the white mist! They shuttled back and forth through the marching columns, bringing orders from the High Command: the highland pass must be passed before dawn!

The officers who received the order from each ministry cursed in a low voice and urged their soldiers without hesitation.

An hour later,

The 20,000-strong army, under the supervision of the supervising troops sent by the headquarters, successfully crossed the passage.

At this time, the sky has already revealed a faint morning glow, and although the surrounding area is still white, the visibility has been significantly improved.

Outside the vast hilly woodland at the entrance to the passage, the soldiers of the five corps snuggled up to each other to rest. They do need to rest, and most of the soldiers here have been sprinting from Bolenburg yesterday to the present.

However, as soon as the soldiers caught their breath, the speeding herald again brought Andy Barrett's order: the five corps were to march at full speed towards the inner territory of Herion in five directions, and must reach the town of Sressalan, sixty miles away, by noon.

The sound of cursing suddenly came and went... It was obviously impossible to make a fire for cooking, and the freshly erected iron pots were all removed, and the soldiers continued their journey while munching on cold, dry bread and drinking ice water that was freezing their intestines.

When the troops set off again, Andy Barrett's herald arrived again amid the curses of the soldiers.

This time, though, comes exciting news:

"Brothers, Duke Andy has sent an order, everything in Sressaland Town is ours!"

"Wow!"

The wealth of an entire town gave the soldiers, who had been exhausted by the overnight journey, unprecedented motivation, while the complaints gradually subsided and their morale soared.

...

Four hours later,

Twak led five regiments of 25,000 soldiers, all of whom arrived on time outside the town of Sresaland

At half past eleven, before Andy Barrett's order had even arrived, the soldiers began to launch a siege battle under the orders of their respective corps commanders.

The battle lasted less than half an hour!

Yes, the town fell in just half an hour, and the nobles who remained behind ruthlessly abandoned their people for their lives.

Soon, the most primitive and bloody war plundering began to play out in this otherwise peaceful town.

Countless families have been ruined in this plunder!

Andy Barrett, who had just crossed the Highland Pass, received the news that the town had been breached at the same time that the army had arrived in Sressalan, and he was excited to get along with his two senior military advisers... Earl Banda Hibbert, the former Grand Lord of Klan, and Baron Caseffel Barker share the victory.

"My lord, there is a reason why the human empire has been developed for nearly three hundred years, and war and plunder have been eliminated from the stage of history. Baron Caseffel warned: "If we continue to plunder, our army will not be able to move an inch in the territory of Herion." ”

"The historical stage of fart, twenty years from now, there are no less than a hundred civil wars of lords in the empire every year, and each time both sides will carry out war plundering on each other's territory!" Count Banda immediately refuted: "The best way to keep the morale of the troops high is to carry out war plunder. ”

"So, the empire is now facing disintegration. Caseffel's language became cold, "If there is no internal struggle, will the Clann be lost?Will the empire face its current predicament? War plunder is the most primitive state of war... And now is the time of thriving commerce, and we can create more wealth with the original wealth of our territory, and war and plunder will destroy all this. ”

"Two, there's no need to argue about this kind of thing. Andy Barrett saw that the two were almost in dispute, and said, "The essence of our war is to plunder the supplies of Fort Herien. His eyes looked at Caseffel, and when the other party wanted to retort, he preemptively said, "I will try to restrain the soldiers to reduce unnecessary killing." ”

Andy Barrett turned his head to look at Count Banda, "Baron Casefair's words are not wrong... Only when the territory is rich can more wealth be created. He looked at Caseffel again, "But... I don't care how much wealth Herien is going to create in the future, leave that cousin of mine with these things to worry about, the Reagan family is rich anyway, isn't it?"

"I agree!" Banda immediately said.

Caseffel didn't immediately echo Banda did... Although a year has passed, he still has not changed from his original state, and he still thinks about things with the mind of a lord.

However, when Andy Barrett's gaze swept over, he could only reply: "I hope Baron Pedi will not be angry." ”

"How could he be angry? We are helping him to quell the rebellion. Andy Barrett shrugged.

"My lord, war and plunder cannot go on forever. "Count Banda is beginning to fulfill his duty," and the soldiers will get carried away after a long time, and you must let them know the meaning of the 'military order'. ”

"Three hours!" Andy Barrett said after thinking for a few seconds, "I gave them three hours, and after three hours the army continued to advance into Fort Herien. He looked at the eastern sky, "You say, is it possible for us to capture Fort Herien?"

"It's entirely possible, but why would we do this?" Caseffel felt disgusted by what he said, and he resisted the discomfort, "We just need to get what we need, and as for the problem of Fort Herien, let Baron Pedy have a headache." ”

"Haha, that's what I thought too. Andy Barrett grinned, "But if that cousin of mine could write to me begging for help, I wouldn't hesitate to do it, after all, I need Crewe's friendship right now." ”

The two people next to him subconsciously looked at other places when they heard this.

Apparently, they have no interest in Andy Barrett's bad taste.

Andy Barrett looked at the expressions of the two and smiled, "Let's hurry as soon as possible, if we hurry up, we might be able to get to Sressaland Town to have a sip of hot soup." ”

...

The sudden invasion of the Twake Territory was very sudden for Fort Crane.

Countless scouts and messengers rushed to the western territory of Fort Herien after the sudden start of the war, and the wolf smoke spread all over the mountain passes within half an hour.

An hour after the outbreak of the war in Sressalan, the Chancellor of the Imperial Court, Serr Merleau-Cafe, who had been left behind at Fort Helion to collect war materials, received a report from soldiers from the castle's watchtower that an unknown war was taking place in the western part of the realm.

Half an hour later, the Blood Eagle sent detailed information.

Merlot Cafe was so frightened when he received the information that his first reaction was that Fort Herien was finished.

However, despite this idea, Merlot Cafe did not rest on his laurels, and while collecting laborers to bring supplies from outside the city into the city, he ordered the remaining nobles to rush to the aid of Fort Herain, and at the same time passed on everything that happened here to Bane Lockton on the front line.

While making these decisions, the old knight did not forget to block the news of the invasion of the Twak Territory... He proclaimed a mob rebellion in the Western Territories.

Six p.m.,

The two sides of the confrontation in Windley Town received a message from the direction of the Herion Leader almost at the same time.

At this time, in the camp of the Chinese army command camp in Bane-Lockton, the nobles and knightly generals were still arguing about whether to retreat.

Young Bane-Lockton moves between the two sides of a quarrel, enjoying the thrill of lordship.

However, neither side of the heated argument, including Bane Lockton, noticed that the lieutenant of the lord walked into the tent with a letter from the old bark and walked up to Bane Lockton.

"Click" Bane-Lockton opened the envelope very casually,

The quarrel continues...

But suddenly, Bane-Lockton's face turned ugly, and 'when' the thick letters of his book, which consisted of iron bark, fell to the ground.

Bane-Lockton's change made the nobles and generals who had been watching him shut up one after another.

"Your Excellency. Warner Knight bent down to pick up the letter that fell to the ground, Bane Lockton looked at the letter in Warner Knight's hand at this time, his eyes suddenly shrank, his heart was beating so hard now that he couldn't help but tremble!

However, under the gaze of many nobles and knights, he stopped the drastic change on his face, and also controlled the trembling of his body, and he seemed to casually reach out and take back the letter that Warner Knight was about to read.

"Not so good news. Bane-Lockton shrugged, "But it has nothing to do with this war." ”

When the words landed, a shocking shout of killing suddenly erupted outside the camp tent, and after a burst of eager footsteps, the battlefield scouts followed and shouted: "The enemy army suddenly launched a fierce attack!"

"Boom"

"Boom"

The sound of a violent explosion shook the tent at the same time.

Bane Lockton's gaze fell on Udy Cooper, "Take you on top!"

"But..."

"It's an order!"

Udi Cooper looked at Bane Lockton's expression as if he was about to eat people at this moment, and immediately lowered his head and replied, "Your will!" With that, he turned around and glanced at several nobles beside him before quickly exiting the camp.

"My lord, please allow me to leave. After Udi Cooper's departure, most of the nobles in the camp chose to leave, and some didn't even say hello.

Bane Lockton, who had always valued the majesty of his lords, now paid no attention to their impudence, and when everyone who should have left had left, he slipped the letter in his hand into the arms of Warner Knight and said, "Find a way to get our soldiers out of the battle here in an hour!"

It seemed to take a lot of effort to say this, and when he finished speaking, he sat down on the wooden stool next to him as if he had been drained of his strength, and the fear and tension in his eyes spread infinitely.

"Boom"

Outside the tent, the sound of violent explosions grew more and more intense, and the wooden pillars supporting the tent shook violently as if they would collapse at will, and the flames that shook back reflected the shocked face of Warner Wiflerie.

After more than ten seconds, the middle-aged knight finished digesting the unbelievable military report, he glanced at Bane Lockton, who was nervous and dispossessed, whispered a few words to the two knights beside him, and strode out of the tent.

Outside the camp tent, the smoke of gunpowder almost covered half of the sky, and between the flying battle flags, a column of military formations rushed towards the central defense area of the camp.

Two hundred meters away from the command post of the nobles, Udi Cooper was mobilizing his army, he had obviously not received a report of the attack on the Twak Leader by the Herien Rank, and his fierce speech made the fast-moving Warner Knight subconsciously stop, but soon his feet became faster again.

"Buzz"

The long sound of trumpets suddenly came from the left and right flanks of the camp, and the fast-moving Warner Knights knew that this was the signal for the Kawar Fort army to launch a three-sided assault!

"Pedal Pedal Pedal" A steady Warner's footsteps began to be messy, and he snatched the horse of one of the heralds closest to the command post.

The sound of a violent explosion sounded at the same time as the sound of the whip whipping the war horse.

The cold autumn wind and the frantic elemental power of the surrounding space made Warner, who was moving rapidly, only feel as if his cheek was being pierced with countless thin needles.

"Assemble! assemble!" Warner Knight, riding his horse, galloped into a huge camp, accompanied by the sound of Warner Knight's heart-rending cry, and of course, the noisy shouts of the battlefield in the distance.

...

This time, Sira Marne was visibly serious,

On the high ground to the left of the Herion Domain, rows of catapults that glowed golden in the setting sun stirred their gears to throw tar-coated rolling stones;

In front of the front, towering siege towers carried hideous-looking heavy crossbows, and soldiers slowly advanced as if they were moving city walls;

In the rear, the unbridled catharsis of magic fell mercilessly on the heads of the soldiers led by Herion;

Ahead, the knights bombarded the dense defensive line built with a magical earth wall in front of the Herien Command with dense goblin bombings!

"Give me all my might!"

On the left flank, Baron Merrot himself was the commander of the front, wearing an ancient knight's armor and moving back and forth in front of the army with his flag bearer.

The arrows in the enemy's formation were nailed to his knights' armor, and his own soldiers were terrified.

"Advance! Advance!" But Merrot didn't care about the attacks.

Ten minutes later,

The warriors at the front began to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and Merrot immediately dismounted from his horse, drew his sword, and sprinted straight into the line.

But the imaginary fierce battle did not come, when Baron Merlot stepped into the defense line of the Herion Territory Camp, waiting for him was an empty camp, he watched the nearby magicians carefully explore the magic traps, and cursed in a low voice: "A group of cowards!"

When the words landed, a fast horse approached quickly, and the herald on horseback shouted: "Command order, march at full speed to the western territory of the Sister Territory, and stop the retreat of the army led by Herien!"

Baron Merlot, who was bored, suddenly had his eyes lit up, and he kicked the adjutant who was in a daze next to him, "Come over to me a war horse, we're going to kick those miscellaneous asses of Herien!"
