The marquis showed a thoughtful expression: "How many days can the grain and grass in the Yaolan army be supplied at this time?"

"Two days..."

"How many people are escorted by the grain transport troops?"

"Less than 1,000 people..."

"Continue to send our spies to collect and verify all kinds of intelligence along the way," Fnovich ordered in a deep voice: "By the way, call the little princess of Bright Blue and the Count of Rust." ”

According to the information given by Joseph, it may be a good choice to send cavalry to bypass Yaolan's main force and surprise attack the transport troops in the south, but this information was given by him, in case his heart still belongs to Yaolan Imperial Capital, and the news is released, then these knights will definitely have no return.

After a while, Sir Lint led the two back to the big tent, and Ayton finally saw the long-lost little princess Lan Coco, who was still wearing the sky blue mage robe, and it seemed that she had not been mistreated in any way, but her face was a little haggard, and it was estimated that she had been worried all the way in the past two days.

Lan Keke is a fourth-order magician with a certain threat, but as a member of the Bright Blue royal family, Fnovic still gave her the corresponding courtesy, and did not put any restraints on her, and the blue rare staff was also held in her hand.

"Count Rust, how are you doing these days?"

"Of course it's good, don't bother the Marquis" Rust's attitude was still lukewarm: "My subordinates should reply to the message."

Fnovich smiled indifferently: "That's right, I just don't know about them...."

"If they have already taken refuge in the Yaolan Imperial Capital and don't obey my orders, then I can't help it" Rust looked at the Marquis silently

"Take refuge in the imperial capital, perhaps, I have long heard that the knights of the Willy family are very loyal, and I believe they are on our side"

After saying that, Funovic looked at Lan Keke without smiling: "Your Royal Highness Princess Yaolan, if everything goes well, tomorrow, or even tonight, you can return to the warm imperial capital safely."

"Hmph, my father won't compromise" Lan Keke sneered and turned his head: "Actually blamed us for the capture of elf slaves, the crime deserves death!"

"This is all forced by the people of your Yaolan royal family, anyway, if your people don't agree to withdraw the army, you may never be able to return to the imperial capital at that time."

Ayton, disguised as Dubai, was in a hurry, and he followed him all the way here, not only to thwart the plot of the Thorns army, so as to learn about Bilodis's whereabouts from Raph, but also to rescue Blue Coco from the rebels.

However, there are many people in the army, and there is no chance at all.

"My lord, in case the Bright Blue Army does not agree to withdraw... What to do?" Dubai asked.

Vonovic turned his head and stared at Dubai suspiciously, very strange that he would ask this question, as time went on... The color of suspicion is palpable.

That's not the right question.

Ayton's heart sank, and he hurriedly bent down: "The subordinates just want to know if the war will really start, and there is no other meaning." ”

This reason is very far-fetched, and Vonovich still looks at him steadily, and the suspicion in his eyes is getting thicker and thicker, and Dubai would never ask such a thing before.

Damn it... Ayton secretly regretted in his heart, and suddenly a scout arrived to relieve Ayton.

"Lord Marquis, Yaolan's army has been dispatched!"

"What, how many men are there?" said Sir Lint hastily beckoned his men to put his army in order.

"Ten thousand, all of them are from the Bright Blue Knights," the scout replied nervously.

Tentative Attack, or Contact? Vonovic was suspicious, and it seemed that the other side was also preparing to wait for the follow-up reinforcements to meet before the decisive battle.

At this time, whether it was the Bright Blue Emperor Capital or the Land of Thorns, they were all confused about this war, and there was no buffer time at all, and they were not well prepared in all aspects.

And this time the temptation can be a good way to determine the reason for war and see if there is room for negotiation.

Vonovic doesn't have the heart to understand Dubai's abnormal situation, anyway, he doesn't have any strength, even if he wants to take refuge in the imperial capital, he can't make any big waves.

Order your Thorn City garrison and orc heavy armor to set up their positions and prepare to meet the enemy!

Blue Coco was brought to the front of the battle, leaving Ayton alone in a hurry, in case Bright Blue did not agree to withdraw, and Vnovic was furious and blood splattered on the spot. He would regret it for the rest of his life, and he would regret that he had left her alone in that town that day.

Scanning around, 20,000 horses were surging like a tide, the sound of galloping horses' hooves and the clash of armor and weapons were incessant, and he had no battle order, so he could only stand in place, staying in the empty camp that had not been built long ago.

Seeing that the troops were about to be assembled, and it happened that the high-level leaders were not around, Ayton quickly rushed to the garrison of Viscount Ggil's army, the noble leader of a group of them was nowhere to be found, and the knight chief was forcibly controlled by others. Like a group of miscellaneous soldiers, like puppets, listening to the dispatch of the Ford family.

As the Marquis of Thorns, he successfully summoned a young soldier who had been forcibly recruited, and after asking for his information, he successfully blended into the army.

Of course... The innocent soldier's body was also quietly disposed of by Ayton, although the means were not kind, but after years of rendering in the dark cave, there was not much pressure in his heart.

According to Ayton's conjecture, if the other party only sends 10,000 Bright Blue Knights, the war is estimated to be unable to start for the time being, and the other party may want to wait for more reinforcements, but the main purpose is to seek a justification, and Vonovich now only has an inexplicable charge of detaining the envoy of the imperial capital.

And the Land of Thorns will strike first! because they can't afford to wait.

......

The sun was about to set in the sky, and the air was not as hot as expected.

Ayton wore a rudimentary suit of armor and mingled with the army, and sure enough, their Viscount Norse's men were at the forefront, standing side by side with the adjacent orc warriors, but they were all wearing heavy and well-made armor, and it was clear that the Marquis of Vonevi had pulled out all the treasures in the lower box, and as soon as the opposing iron cavalry rushed over, they would bear the brunt.

In the distance, there were blue ice crystal flower flags fluttering in the wind, rows of neat blue enchanted armor and knights' spears, shaking the eyes of these so-called elite family knights of the Thorn Army, as if they were laughing at them as just a group of hillbillies, completely inferior to these elite knights.

"Worthy of the most elite knights in Bright Blue, the old king of Fürth really sent them here," Vonovich muttered in a voice that only Sir Lint could hear beside him.

"Fortunately, there are only the Second Knights of Bright Blue, only 10,000 people, if the five knights are here, this battle will not be able to be fought" Lint smiled bitterly, and at the same time looked at the Black Mage Legion behind him, the neat phalanx of a thousand people was neat and silent, hoping that they would be able to contain the attack of the Knights at that time.

Vonovich stared fixedly at the forefront of Bright Blue, riding the highest war horse, wearing luxurious armor, the majestic knight of the Second Knights of Bright Blue, Richard Robert, as if he had expected that the opponent would be him, and motioned for Lint to meet him.

Undeterred, Lint rode his horse out of the army on his own, facing the army of Bright Blue Knights.

And Richard, who was in the distance, looked at these rebels coldly, and he had a hard time believing it... That civilian marquis was able to gather so many troops, which was enough to meet the standard of launching a rebellion, and according to intelligence, the Swiss Kingdom in the north actually had a faint intention to help them.

This counterinsurgency will not be as easy as the king of the imperial capital imagined... Richard made a secret conclusion, and at the same time Lint came to a distance of less than a hundred meters from them.

"Lint, the town of Asahi in the Land of Thorns should be recruited into the army, and he once led a scout team to annihilate the elite squad of the Snow Leopard Knights of the Swiss Don Empire, and now he is serving the Marquis of Thorns, may I ask... What do you mean, master?"

Richard preemptively struck ahead, and the details of Fnović's rebellion have not been made public, and everyone is only speculating that he is too self-interested.

Lint tugged at the reins, controlled the war horse to stop, and said in a cold voice: "King Bright Blue, Winston, brutal and ruthless! Ignoring the blood and sweat of the people of our Thorn Land for more than 20 years, forcibly levying taxes! Cruelty to loyal subjects! Our people have long been resentful in their hearts, and what we are doing today is just to establish our own country!"

"Establish your own country?!haha, is this the reason for your rebellion? is that stupid!" Richard couldn't help laughing, not dwelling on the so-called forced taxation and cruelty to loyal subjects, he believed that the other party was ready to speak.

"Lay down your arms and surrender, this is the deadline given to you by the merciful King Fürth, otherwise the land will be stained with blood!"

"Hmph! We, the people of the Land of Thorns, are not afraid of bloodshed in order to break free from this shackle!" Sir Lint exclaimed, with a determined expression, bright armor, and an unusually bright Ford family insignia on his chest, "I... Lint, take the oath to shed the last drop of blood for the freedom of the Land of Thorns! Long live the Marquis!"

"Long live the Marquis! Long live the Marquis!" was an inspiring gesture by Lint, whose long-accumulated prestige swept away the gloom of the noon rebellion for a moment, prompting a chorus of shouts from his own army behind him.

At the same time, a gorgeous carriage silently came to the front of the array, among which Lan Coco, the little princess of Yaolan wearing a blue mage robe, walked out, with a very complicated expression, but more of a shame.

Looking at Lan Coco's haggard figure, Ayton felt his heart tighten, and the strength of his grip on the spear couldn't help but increase a few points.

Instead of escorting her to the front as a prisoner, Vonovich gave her the treatment that a princess deserved. This move can be regarded as giving the Yaolan royal family a little face, indicating that they just want to be independent, and if you withdraw your troops, everyone can still get along well.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess" Richard gritted his teeth silently, and sure enough, the little princess fell into the hands of Funovic, and now things are a little tricky.

As a member of the Yaolan royal family, if he doesn't get it right, the prestige of the royal family will be greatly hit, and he is very likely to be the scapegoat.

"Your Excellency Captain Richard, we have worked together before, if you agree to withdraw your troops now, your noble little princess will return to your imperial capital safe and sound" Lint's tone slowed slightly, but he was still firm.

"It's worthy of the Marquis of Thorns, looking at this posture, it's obviously been planned for a long time, good means!" Richard carefully confirmed Lan Coco's identity, and then looked at the other party's army layout, except for those black-clothed mage legions who were a little surprised, the rest were clear.

"Make your decision, do you want your noble little princess to be... Do you want to go back safely, or do you prefer war?" Lint shouted in a deep voice, not giving any room for the other side to spy on his own information.

Ayton could clearly see that Lan Coco in the distance was nervous, and there was a hint of anticipation in his expression, but he was a little helpless and sad.
