Chapter 152: Rush to the aid of Fort Clarion
The herald knight looked at Lelouch with extreme fanaticism in his eyes, in order to grab this order for De Cres, I don't know how many knights snatched their heads, and these were just to be able to see Lelouch directly.
They may not understand the intentions of Decres' own lord, but that doesn't stop them from carrying out what seems to be a small task.
Lelouch did not respond directly to the knight, but laughed.
He rode his horse towards the periphery of the battlefield, and at this time the battlefield had entered the cleaning stage, and the soldiers looked at Lelouch and his knights of Horn Fort, who were suddenly running outside again, and they all set their eyes on the leader at the front, and when Lelouch ran past some of their lucky ones, they cheered with excitement.
"Oh my God, Miko-sama seems to have glanced at me just now!"
A peasant soldier excitedly shouted at his partner, but it attracted a taunt:
"You're dazzled, how could Miko-sama look at a fool like you?"
"That's it, even if Miko-sama is glancing, it's definitely looking at me, just your thin arms and legs, what's the matter? Do you still want the kindness of Miko-sama? ”
The ridicule of the group of people made the excited soldier slightly speechless, but he still pouted and looked into the distance:
"Miko-sama did take a look at me just now, and you can't be wrong!"
This kind of fanaticism similar to that of chasing stars in later generations made Lelouch get all the eyes when he stood on a high place, and the knights of Horn Fort also gathered from all directions under the call of the horn, and they quickly gathered together, Lelouch looked at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield who were watching him, and he spoke:
"Terran! Banzai! ”
"Victory! Banzai! ”
Lelouch's two slogans resonated on the battlefield, and the soldiers raised their weapons and shouted along with Lelouch, their heartfelt love for Lelouch, who brought them this victory.
Lelouch rode his horse on the hillside, he looked at the countless cheering soldiers at his feet, raised his right hand to signal the silence of the crowd, and continued:
"The battle is over!"
Lelouch reined in his horse and spun around in half a circle, his face was very serious:
"But the war is not over! We can rest now, but not Fort Clarifle! ”
Lelouch's words made the crowd seem to be aware of them, and they looked at Lelouch with respect and strength in their eyes:
"I'm very happy to be able to fight with all of you today, I'm very tired and I need a rest! But I can't, I need to go back to Fort Clarion right away and continue fighting, fellow citizens, I'm waiting for you at Fort Clarion! ”
The plain preaching, the flat and straightforward narration, and the contentless blood, but it made the soldiers once again refresh their love for Lelouch, they didn't expect Lelouch to choose to leave so directly, not only the soldiers but also those nobles, and even the knights who were a little more delicate, didn't understand.
The soldiers couldn't understand why they didn't wait for their army to gather and go north to Fort Horn together, didn't Miko-sama know that he would be safer this way? And the nobles and knights really can't understand why Lelouch would give up the position on the top of his head, and the knights are even ready to charge for Lelouxiu, the leader who is more like the emperor of people, and many nobles have secretly ordered their henchmen to be the first to stand up and support Lelouxiu.
All this is obviously so within reach, but why did Lelouch give up so much?!
Looking at the strange crowd at his feet, Lu Luxiu smiled slightly in his heart and turned to leave.
The turning back and dancing cloak showed that he did not have the slightest nostalgia, leaving only the stunned people on the battlefield, who could not understand why Lelouch would refuse all this, and reject these things that he would get from the help of the 160,000-strong coalition army as long as he wanted to.
"Perhaps, he is really a saint of high moral character!"
In addition to this explanation, the nobles and knights really couldn't think of any reason for Lelouch to do this, while they scolded Lelouch in their hearts, they also really admired Lelouch in their hearts, no matter why Lelouch chose to leave, but this mentality is enough to show how strong his willpower is.
Middle-earth is once again stormy at this time, and many capable people know that another reshuffle is about to begin, and they are also looking for the lord they can assist, except for the other human beings who will consider foreigners, the vast majority of the human race still choose to look among the same race, and there is no doubt that in addition to the four dukes, it is the human emperor and Lelouch who have the most appeal.
Lelouxiu's mythical rise and various deeds make him able to attract countless eyes everywhere he goes, but many people think that Lelouch will just be as colorful as a meteor but fleeting, this situation knows that the church sent his godson Prince Feng to join Leluxiu's command, it only improved a lot, but this is not enough to make them think that Lelouch can defeat the human emperor, and this hundred years of righteousness can not be defeated in just a few years.
And the methods used by Lelouch to deceive other people are okay, but it is impossible to deceive these people who are ready to choose the master, they admire Leluxiu's methods of manipulating people's hearts, but they think that these things still cannot be compared with the century-old righteousness of the human emperor, but at this time, seeing Leluxiu's attitude towards the throne within reach, they finally changed their mentality, at least, this lord has the courage and will that the nobles of the entire heaven-sent land have never had.
Especially when Lu Lu Xiu just arrived in Baicheng, he almost commanded the entire coalition army, which has made them realize that Lu Lu Xiu has fully possessed the ability to win the human emperor, and the only weakness of this ability may be that the actual foundation is still relatively weak, and the financial resources are barely enough, but the military strength has not yet formed an overwhelming advantage.
Lelouch who was far away was long gone, but the aristocratic coalition troops in the White City had completely integrated into a figure, which could hardly be erased in his life.
Frank followed behind Lelouch, his expression was also full of doubts, he looked at Lelouch in front of him, and finally couldn't help but hurry a few steps:
"Why, my lord?"
Frank's question seemed to be clueless, and Lelouch laughed:
"What, why?"
Lelouch's words made Frank frown:
"Why don't you take someone to the Palace of Augustus?"
Frank's words were more direct this time, but Lelouch was silent:
"I can indeed go to the Palace of Augustus, but what about after that? I mean, what about after I sit in that position? ”
Frank suddenly became excited:
"Of course, it is to raise troops to the north to defeat the third army of Mordor, and then sit in Baicheng and work hard, I believe that with the ability of adults, within ten years, our human race will be able to produce earth-shaking changes, and the glory of our human race will definitely reappear!"
Frank seems to be looking forward to such a day, in fact, almost everyone is looking forward to the day of return, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, not only for his own glory, but also for his own life.
Lelouch shook his head:
"It's too difficult, it's too difficult to do this now, we may not even be able to lead the troops north, what do we have in White City? Nothing! Soldiers and knights may support us, but for how long? We can't even afford to give them rations! Without their support, we wouldn't even be able to get out of White City alive! ”
Lelouch's calmness made Frank open his mouth, but he had to admit that Lelouch was right, he was silent and his mood was slightly sluggish, but Lelouch laughed again:
"Don't worry, Frank, it's us, it'll be ours sooner or later, we just need to make a little more preparation!"
Doesn't Lelouch want to sit on the throne of the Emperor of Men? Of course I want to, but how is that possible? Lelouch only has 70,000 troops, and he is still mired in the quagmire of Fort Horn, he can't afford to transfer them at all, and without the support of a strong army, Lelouch may not even be able to control White City! And such a human emperor, can he still be called a human emperor? Not to mention anything else, the current human emperor can at least do it in Baicheng.
It's not that Lelouch doesn't want to, but he can't, at least, not at the moment.
It was useless for Lelouch to stay in White City, so he simply returned to Fort Clarifolia, after all, where it was was the root of Lelouch.
White City
The white city that ended the battle was stable at this time, a large number of peasants and soldiers returned to the new formation, and the knights also returned to their lords with their heads bowed slightly, and they followed Lu Luxiu's rash departure from his lord, which was also a politically incorrect choice.
At this time, on the walls of the White City, Richard was looking at a letter in a daze, and a knight wearing a slightly ill-fitting northern knight's armor stood silently aside, he brought the letter to Richard, and the owner of the letter was Lelouch.
"Okay, I know, tell your family, I'll do these two things!"
After reading the letter, Richard burned it with a torch, and then said this to the herald knight, and bowed his head silently, and turned away respectfully, looking at the knight in the distance, Richard turned and walked towards the interior of the city:
"Tell that old fellow Decrees that Lao Tzu wants these people to go to Fort Clarion tomorrow, and in addition, tell everyone not to come to White City, and go directly to Fort Clarifolia."
After Richard said this, he suddenly turned his head to look at the stunned entourage behind him, and added in an extremely cold tone:
"The outer walls of Fort Clarion were lost a few days ago!"
The entourage is also cold!
What does Lelouch need most? It's the support of Baicheng, which hundreds of thousands of terrifying noble reinforcements! But when Lu Lu Xiu saw Bai Chen's assembled troops, he understood the reason why the troops were assembled very slowly, he was angry at Bai Cheng's attitude, and even more angry at Bai Cheng's assumption that they could use this kind of thing related to their own lives to suppress their opponents, so before leaving, Lu Lu Xiu decided to put pressure on Bai Cheng.
In the eyes of many Baicheng people, the fall of the outer city wall is almost equivalent to the fall of the Horn Fort, and once the Horn Castle really falls, then everyone here will lose everything and lose it from the source.
Declan finally came to his senses after getting Richard's relay, although he had been in various contemplations because of the shock and Lelouch's strong appeal, but he still knew the priority, although Decres at this time was eager to restrict Lelouch more completely, but that had to be under his own safety.
De Cress agreed to Richard's proposal, and at the same time, with the high morale brought by Lelouch, he issued an order for the army of tomorrow to directly open the Horn Fort, this order to go out to fight was rare and did not make the soldiers resist, although it was not very happy, but it was not a plan, and De Crese had to feel jealous of Lelouch again.
Early the next morning, there was hardly any superfluous mobilization, the number of coalition troops had reached 160,000 officially opened, and the southern border of De Cres was responsible for the entire logistics for the entire army, in order to ensure that the army could feel the Horn Fort as quickly as possible, and also for the embarrassing scene of the last three-clan alliance army, De Creus was very generous so that every soldier could eat meat every day, and supply a chicken leg or other parts every night, although the overall effect was not many times different from the food of the Horn Fort, But it also greatly boosted the morale of the coalition soldiers, and along with it, their evaluation of Decres was also much better.
It's just that this didn't make DeCres feel happy, because looking at the terrible expenses, DeCres felt that he was about to cry, the southern border was not a garrison built by Lelouch, although the wealth in the southern border was extremely huge, but what Decrees could really mobilize was actually extremely limited, and most of the wealth was concentrated in the hands of the big nobles and the big chambers of commerce, and the recent sharp drop in taxes for some reason made Decrees feel numb.
So these materials can really be said to make Declan bitter to the bottom of his heart.
The 160,000 army lined up in a long formation, they quickly advanced towards the Horn Fort, along the way there will continue to be coalition troops from all over the country to join the ranks, their number is extraordinarily large, in this continuous accumulation, they can increase their number by more than 10,000 every day, although the vast majority of them are peasant soldiers, but still let everyone present feel shocked and enthusiastic, that is almost completely not weaker than the number of terror of the Third Legion, giving everyone infinite confidence that there is such a strong army, defending the main Horn Fort, Still nothing to worry about.
Looking forward at the sea of people, Hornfort seems to be not far ahead!
