720 of the month of blessing 11. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Shavrin border.

It was a field of wheat, and for it was not the harvest season, and the people who toiled had to be busy as usual - but they were not working so hard, for the land of Chhavrin was getting better day by day.

Their safety seemed to be assured, and they no longer seemed to be shrouded in fear all day and night.

"Hey, look, there's something over there?"

"Get busy first, don't delay...... What is that?! ”

The peasants who were working looked up, and they saw that the wheat fields seemed to be stained with a circle of shadows, but gradually, the shadows seemed to grow thicker and thicker.

They stayed where they were, trying to see clearly - and when they saw clearly, there was a strong disbelief on their faces - it was an army, made up of cavalry!

The silver armor reflected a blinding glow in the sunlight, and the two peasants were too strongly stimulated to say a word for a long time—but the knights reacted well, and they spotted the two men and drew their bows without hesitation—leaving them unprepared.

Later, the 11th day of the blessed month of 720 was called the "Day of the Invasion" because it symbolized the complete "rebellion" of the Holy See against the Kingdom of Luther, led by the House of Midrus.

At first, their target was the Shevrin Domain.

===============================

720 of the month of blessing 16.

The Holy See's army of paladins broke through the border city of Poret in Shevrin's domain, and on the 18th, with an unimaginable speed, broke through Quaid City, and approached Hurrington.

It was the fastest attack in history, as if it were really the slogan of these papal knights - to punish and cleanse sin at the will of Erentia.

===============================

720 Month of Blessing 20

Shevrin Territory, Saratoga.

Saratoga is located "behind" in Herrington – a castle not far from Hurrington, to be exact.

Since the Lutheran Kingdom began a hundred years ago, the aristocracy did not live in castles, and they began to build cities without walls that were easier to develop and relatively cheaper to build and cost in the Lutheran Kingdom.

As a result, the castles used as military defenses have reached the point of near abandonment - Saratoga, once the equivalent of Shephrin's Hurrington.

There is a sense of dissatisfaction with reviving in this way, at least for those who are staying in Saratogari right now.

But they couldn't help it.

At this time, Saratoga was surrounded by the Holy See's troops outside the high walls, and the siege had lasted all day, and if it continued like this, then all the people in this castle, which had been used as a temporary refuge, would die.

The heart of Saratoga Castle.

Lawler? Dai Shu was the "agent" temporarily appointed by Count Shevrin when he left the realm, and the history of the Ashfrin domain and the Count's position made it necessary for them to stick to it.

But......

In this room, there were many people around the long table, their faces showing varying degrees of anxiety and paleness.

"Still can't get the letter to Dryden?" Lawler spoke first in this heavy atmosphere.

"The Holy See controls all the ways, including the channels of magic." Sturya's face was solemn, "How is this possible...... How could those knights march so fast? ”

The territory of Shevrin was not a very large territory, but it was comparable in size to other territories - the distance from Poret on the border to Hurrington would have taken more than ten days at the usual speed of a carriage, but the troops from the Holy See had rushed all the way here to break through Hurrington......

"Will they cross Saratoga......" Aubrey said, next to him.

Saratoga's construction craftsmanship is "backward" in the current Lutheran Kingdom, but these antiquities are unusually "tough", and the walls have the ability to defend against magic, even the Holy See needs time to break through here - so if the Holy See wants to take the Shevrin Territory as soon as possible......

"Their goal was the official dominion of the Shevrin realm - a surrender that was recognized and signed by the lord. If you can't do that, no amount of city defeat will be of any use. Lawler shook his head, "So they want to beat 'Key', plus their offense seems to want to hide from Dryden......"

They all fell silent.

Saratoga was undersupplied and the strength of the army to defend itself was almost non-existent - the standing army of the Shevrin Domain had long since been disbanded by years of lack of management.

The letter could not be sent at all.

It seems like a dead end.

"Lornay ......" Ingrid stood in the corner of the room, she was not able to understand what they were saying and participate in their discussions, but in such an atmosphere, she also felt that things were tricky.

So she couldn't help but pronounce the name.

Most people don't know where Fitney went.

"She's not at her best." Lawler paused and said.

In their hearts, there is no longer any "silver lining".

"But......" Ingrid apparently did not understand why they did so, "this territory is at least the result of their efforts...... Really give up. ”

"It's not about giving up, it's just ...... Since there is no chance of winning, then it is enough for us to bear the defeat. Aubrey took a deep breath and said with some difficulty, "Even if Lonnay is here, she can't defeat that army alone—have you forgotten ......?"

Boret in the Shevrin Realm was the only city with some amount of defense, but the Holy See defeated them as easily as it did against undefended cities.

"How many troops has the Holy See sent?" Stuarta couldn't help but ask.

It is certain in the castle, but not enough to see until then.

"At least...... 30,000 people. Lawler said slowly, staring at the map on his desk, which clearly marked the kingdom of Luther and some of the surrounding areas.

Once again, they fell silent.

Even Ingrid felt a little powerless, and it was indeed a desperate situation for these numbers to put in front of him.

"Don't worry, we'll always have a way." "After all, Mr. Lawler offered to move us here early on—I'm sure he must have something else to do." ”

Ingrid's eyes lit up and she nodded heavily.

Lawler didn't speak.

If he could, he wouldn't be here looking at the map and not knowing what to do.

But...... Lawler understood Aubrey's feelings.

For those relatives, there are sometimes things that really need to be hidden.
