Duke Leanne was still hesitating. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He was not a hesitant person, and even the word hesitation did not exist for this famous marshal known for his determination to kill in the past life, but at this moment the Duke of Lian had to hesitate, because all kinds of factors were not favorable to the Duke.

Although he has been in the political arena of the Spany Empire for decades, the Duke of Leanne is still essentially a soldier in his bones, and prefers to be called by others with the rank of "Lord Marshal." ”

This makes him always more accustomed to thinking in the way of thinking of a soldier when he encounters things.

What is the military mindset? To put it simply, it's to see who is stronger and whose fist is bigger!

Before raising the army, the Duke of Leanne actually had two options. The first is to march into the city as it is now, repeating the battle for the throne thirty years ago; The other is to actively canvass for votes, using his influence to defeat all enemies with votes above the Electoral Council.

After careful consideration, the Duke of Leanne chose a more military-oriented approach - to persuade General Bryan to send troops into the city with the Scarlet Knights, and to destroy and conquer all political enemies with iron and blood.

But what happened next came as a surprise to the Duke.

Of course, he knew that he and the Scarlet Knights could only cooperate for a while and could not form long-term allies, but the Duke still underestimated General Brian's patience, or rather, overestimated the general's political acumen.

General Bryan seemed to be too impatient, and the supreme general of the Scarlet Knights had only achieved a victory that seemed insignificant to the Duke and became so arrogant that he even directly made the contradiction between the two public in front of the entire army.

This is not a good sign, you must know that in the current situation, when General Bryan made it clear that he was going to turn against Duke Lean, although the Duke was still the supreme commander in name, if he really fought, whether the orders he issued could be resolutely implemented and implemented by these soldiers subordinate to General Brian was really a big question mark.

It is true that Duke Li'an is extremely confident in his command level, and believes that he is completely the undisputed first commander of the continent.

No matter how strong the level of the commander is, if he encounters a unit that does not obey orders or cannot fully implement military orders, it will be no problem.

Let you go east, you go west, let you attack with all your might, but you go up and feint and retreat, how can this battle be fought? What's more, the chance of victory on the battlefield is fleeting, and if you fool around like this, you will definitely lose!

Therefore, although the 25,000 Scarlet Knights are the elite of the empire, in the eyes of Duke Lean, they are not even as good as the 25,000 farmers with pitchforks.

An army without discipline is simply a plate of scattered sand!

Will he really be able to take this set of 25,000 loose sand and achieve this crucial victory tonight?

"It's hateful." Duke Li'an couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "If you can give me any standing army of 20,000 people, no, 20,000 county soldiers, why am I so forward-looking and hesitant now." ”

While Duke Li'an was pondering, the scout suddenly received information: "Report to the general, the enemy army has begun to move towards the palace gate." ”

"What?" Duke Li'an was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked up to the other side of the square, and sure enough, he found that more than 20,000 Silver Wing Knights troops on the opposite side of the square began to slowly advance towards the palace gate.

The Duke couldn't help but mutter, "Old Paul is crazy, at this time he dares to take the lead in attacking the palace?" ”

You must know that there are not only two forces around the square at this moment, but three parties.

Duke Leanne had learned through the news that the eldest princess and the Marquis of Habs had somehow persuaded Her Royal Highness, the real ruler of the palace at this moment, to obtain the command of the 3,000 forbidden army.

If these 3,000 forbidden troops are pulled out to fight alone, they are not the opponent of either the Scarlet Knights or the Knights of the Silver Wing at all, but if these 3,000 forbidden troops are thrown into the camp of one of them, then the other side will definitely have a big headache, and it may even become an X factor that changes the entire battle situation.

Could it be that Prime Minister Paul has been so confused that he wants to force the 3,000 Praetorian Guards at the palace gate to his side?

Besides, the walls of this palace are so tall and heavy, and he is under the command of Prime Minister Paul, who is full of light cavalry and infantry, and there is no way to carry heavy siege weapons, so what can he use to attack the city?

Duke Li'an stared at the slowly moving white phalanx in front of him, his heart full of puzzlement, but only a moment later, the continent marshal immediately reacted.

"That's not right!" Duke Lean's eyes suddenly lit up and he realized what the problem was.

Although the phalanx of the Knights of the Silver Wings was indeed slowly moving towards the palace gate, the formation they had put up turned out to be a defensive formation!

Think about it, if the Knights of the Silver Wings really want to attack the palace gate, will they put up a defensive formation to move?

Even if Prime Minister Paul doesn't know anything about offensive formations and defensive formations at all, the generals of the Silver Wing Knights who are familiar with military theory will never make such a mistake!

So the situation is already obvious, the Silver Wing Knights are not trying to attack the palace gate at all, they are simply - get closer!

That's right, move closer to the palace gate!

Duke Lean's heart gradually sank.

It is impossible for the Silver Wing Knights to suddenly move closer to the palace gate for no reason. So now the situation is already obvious, the second prince side led by Prime Minister Paul has reached an alliance with the eldest princess side led by the Marquis of Habs!

Until this moment, Duke Lian didn't know that there was actually no longer a second prince, because Julian's head had been cut off and sent to Prime Minister Paul!

In other words, in fact, the situation that Duke Li'an is facing now is actually much more severe than he imagined!

"Leo, it must be Leo's kid!" Duke Leanne immediately made a judgment.

A scout on the front foot just came to report that he saw the figure of the suspected Leo entering the Silverwing Knights array, and the Silverwing Knights on the back foot chose to unite with the eldest princess, if Leo didn't play any role at all, then the Duke of Lion definitely didn't believe it!

In this way, the original confrontation between the two sides has been completely changed.

With the addition of 3,000 Praetorian Guards, the strength of the Silver Wing Knights has surpassed that of the Scarlet Knights led by Duke Li'an and has the upper hand!

"What should I do?" Duke Li'an's face became more and more ugly, although he was the top commander of the mainland, but at this moment, this situation actually made this marshal, who had never been defeated and won every battle, feel upset for a while, and there was a feeling that it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

External worries and internal troubles!

At this time, something else happened that Duke Lean did even more unexpectedly.

A scout came to the front of the Duke, saluted, and then said loudly: "Marshal Qiyu, there is a person outside who claims to be the Divine Favor Leo who wants to ask to see you!" ”
