Simon didn't care so much, and stepped forward to report: "Your Excellency the Governor, we have just rescued a few wounded soldiers who have escaped, and according to their own words, they have come from the Eastern Route Army. ”

Hearing this, Reynard was slightly shocked in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and asked, "What's the matter, is there something going on on the side of the Eastern Route Army?" Why did their people come here?"

Although his army had reached the edge of Kale County, it was still three hundred kilometers away from the location of the Eastern Army, and it was strange that the two sides could meet.

Simon replied, "I have asked about the situation, and they say that they are the private army of Viscount Tennison. ”

"A few days ago, Count Elliot suddenly announced the division of troops to join the demons, and they followed their masters to the south, and it is said that several lords were originally acting at the same time, but they had a quarrel in the middle of the way, so they went their separate ways. ”

"Viscount Tennison led his two hundred private troops all the way south, and encountered a gang of roving bandits on the way, and suffered a great defeat, many of them were killed, and the rest all fled. ”

Bandit?Renard couldn't help frowning, he felt that something was wrong.

In these years, the strength of the bandits is not too strong, if they really have the ability, they will definitely choose to find an errand under a certain lord, or join the army, and then be a mercenary, after all, it is better than being a street rat.

Therefore, the term bandits is mostly used for hard-working people who can't survive, and they just rely on the strength of the crowd to scare and frighten the merchants who come and go, and beg for two mouthfuls of food.

Although the aristocratic private army has a flamboyant and domineering personality, most of them have real skills, otherwise why would the nobles eat and drink well to support you?

They are not brave and good at fighting, but it should not be difficult to deal with bandits who have little ability.

Take the dozens of soldiers in Fort Saint-Brieux as an example, when fighting bandits, a few people chased dozens of people and cut them.

It is a great joke that such an army was beaten by bandits and lost its armor.

Besides, this aristocratic private army has no oil and water on it, and the bandits can't avoid it, so why bother to rob them?

After thinking about it, Renard had some understanding, I am afraid that the identity of these bandits is not simple, and ninety-nine percent of them may be pretended to be the private armies of other lords.

It seems that the Creighton family's counterattack has begun.

Renard asked again, "Did you ask where they were attacked?"

Simon recalled, and said apologetically: "These people came from the Rose Province, they are not familiar with the place, and they can't tell where they were scattered, anyway, they just ran all the way, and finally met us." ”

Renard nodded and ordered, "Settle them down, remember to arrange for someone to monitor them twenty-four hours a day." ”

Simon was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Your Excellency the Governor is afraid of ......."

Renard nodded again: "These people are of unknown origin, so they have to be guarded, and it never hurts to be careful." ”

Simon nodded approvingly: "I will arrange for the most clever people to watch over them, if they dare to do anything wrong......"

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, the cold glint in Lei Ye's eyes flashed: "Kill it directly, I don't know how many people will die in this expedition, there are not many more of them, and there are a few less of them." ”

After giving the order, Renard said to Robertson beside him, "Command the whole army!

Duke Edmund couldn't help but smile when he saw his troubled appearance, and then said to the herald beside him: "Do what Governor Renard says, and his orders will be my orders in the future." ”

Hearing this, Renard looked deeply at the distant uncle, and finally smiled.

While they were speeding up their march here, King Ferdinand was rewarding the three armies.

In this march to Kale County, except for some small problems in the Eastern Army, the overall situation is still very good, at least the Central Army and the Southern Army have made great gains.

In just a few days, they captured several small cities and a dozen small towns, as well as an unknown number of villages.

This is still that they have not fully exerted their strength, otherwise the results will be several times or even more than ten times the current one.

Although this time it was in the name of quelling the demon disaster, everyone knew what the ultimate goal was.

There is no mercy on these lords who are loyal to the Creighton family, and they should be taken from their homes, and they should be removed from their titles.

As for the reason, it is mostly nonsense about collusion with bandits.

I really couldn't find a reason, so I simply said that the bandits attacked so-and-so

In a certain territory, occupying the mountains as the king, they rushed to suppress the bandits and quell the chaos.

All the territories that have been breached are like being baptized by a storm, and the valuable things in the lord's mansion have been cleaned by guns.

As for the commoners, King Ferdinand still opened the net and did not commit any crimes.

He is a serious man, and if he pushes these civilians into rebellion, then the kingdom of Arthur will really be finished.

After breakfast, Ferdinand was inspecting the military affairs in the barracks, when suddenly a griffin knight reported: "Your Majesty, the army of Governor Renard and Duke Edmund has arrived in Kale County. ”

Hearing this, Ferdinand was overjoyed: "It seems that Sylvia is right, he did not disappoint me after all." ”

Immediately afterward, he asked again: "How many people did they bring?" ”

This is Ferdinand's main concern, you can't just come, you bring the troops.

The griffin knight thought for a moment and replied, "It's hard to estimate, but the army of ten people in a column, stretching for more than ten miles, must have fifty or sixty thousand people, to say the least. ”

Fifty or sixty thousand? When Ferdinand heard the number, he rubbed his hands vigorously, and he looked like a mercenary merchant: "Yes! Yes, I see how the Creighton family fights me this time!"

After speaking, he seemed to remember something, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any news from Earl Kevin?"

The griffin knight was stunned when he heard this, and then replied: "I haven't replied for the time being, I'm afraid it's ......."

Before the griffin knight could finish speaking, Ferdinand let out a cold snort: "Hmph! I think he is determined to go all the way to the dark." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard another herald report from afar: "Your Majesty, Count Kevin has sent someone to deliver a letter." ”

Ferdinand looked slightly stunned, and then looked at the Marquis of Trolop, who stood still like a sculpture beside him.

The other party smiled at him knowingly and said, "This earl is quite well-informed. ”

The meaning expressed by the Marquis of Trolope is very clear, and the people are seeing that the king's side is in a good form, and they take the initiative to come over and surrender.

King Ferdinand smiled similarly and said to the herald, "Call the messenger." ”

Hearing this, the Marquis of Trolope hurriedly stopped: "Wait. ”
