Chapter 245: The Wind Rises
"Report, my lord, His Majesty's herald has arrived. The soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion in Changhe Town reported.
"Please come in!" said Alama with a gloomy face.
"Lord Alama, His Majesty has issued a decree for you to hurry to the Lion City. The herald said respectfully.
"I see. Duke Allama said in a low voice.
After the heralds retreated, a young man beside Duke Arama asked, "Father, are we really going to send troops?"
"Hey, this is also a helpless thing, now we are tied to Alfred II, if he is really overthrown by His Royal Highness Mo Shen, then what awaits us will also be death, so this battle must be carried out, but everything will be said when I come back, you should not act rashly, and start preparing military rations and supplies in a while, go!" Duke Alama
In the afternoon of the same day, the Duke of Alama took his personal guard and headed for the Lion City.
From the third day after the end of the war, during these three days, Yongdun Fort only continued to increase its troops, and then Mo Shen personally selected a hundred people to join the cavalry training.
Charles and Djole were in charge of training recruits, and this group of recruits was very important to Mo Shen, because the training method was completely according to the standards of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and this army Mo Shen planned to make it into a strange army, which would not be used easily, and stayed in Montvo for three days at Fort Shield.
When he saw the ordnance of the Shield Fort and the strength of the soldiers, he sighed in his heart: "I didn't lose unjustly, except for the recruits who just absorbed, all of them are the elite of the elite, tsk the power of this ballista........... Even the hardest steel shield can defend against penetration, but what soldier can withstand such an impact..........
And the catapult, which is a great weapon for siege, and the infantry is actually equipped with hand-held repeaters................ Not to mention that he brought 800 people at the beginning, even if it was 1,000 people, it would be useless, unless he brought siege engines, no one would be able to enter the Yongdun Fortress!"
The Duke of Arama arrived at the palace early in the morning.
"Uncle, you're here, sit down. Alfred II said hurriedly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Duke Alama said.
"Uncle, the Montevo waste has been defeated!, is that little bastard really that strong?" said Alfred II angrily.
"No, although there are 800 soldiers in Montfort, but to be honest, most of these soldiers are recruits, and 300 of them are cavalry, and only 100 archers, but Rao is so, in my guess, there are at least 300 elites in the Shield Fort, and there must be some secret weapon hidden, otherwise it would not be possible to fight like this, this is because Montvoor's strength is not strong. Alama said.
"Well, even so, he Montevo actually surrendered to that little bastard!" said Alfred II.
"Your Majesty, this is actually what I expected, Your Majesty, do you remember, a year ago, when you first ascended the throne, the Imperial Army attacked the Seven Cross Fortress, Montvo's father fought to the death, and finally died in battle, but you didn't reward him for anything, and we also refused Montvo's promotion, I'm afraid that since then, he has long held a grudge against us.
This time he was defeated, and he knew that even if he returned, he would not be able to escape your punishment, so I am not surprised that he made such a choice!" Duke Allama said flatly.
"Or am I wrong?" asked Alfred II in an unkind tone.
Duke Allama shook his head and said, "It's not your fault, I didn't want to let him take the throne at that time, but since this is already the case, what are you going to do, Your Majesty?"
"Hmph, of course it's a gathering of forces to attack the Shield Fortress!" said Alfred II fiercely.
"Your Majesty, the attack on Yongdun Fort is certain, but let's take a look at the meaning of the other two dukes first. Alama said.
"Well, do as you say, come, and let the Duke of Brenus and the Duke of Elfwan come to me!" said Alfred II.
Three days had passed, and the herald entered the palace and said, "Your Majesty, both the Duke of Elfwan and the Duke of Brenus have refused to come on the grounds that they are ill!"
After listening to the reply of the two heralds, Alfred II said angrily: "Opposite!
"Your Majesty, please calm down, they don't dare to do anything openly now, but if you do it too aggressively, it won't be good to force them to jump over the wall in a hurry!" said Duke Allama.
"What shall we do?" asked Alfred II.
"Now we can only send our own troops, as long as Mo Shen dies, Duke Elfwan and Duke Brenus will definitely choose to be on your side. Allama whispered.
"Uncle, when are you going to send troops?" asked Alfred.
"Don't worry, before I came, I had already ordered someone to prepare to go down, and now the military rations should be almost collected, but for the time being, let's be patient, according to my estimates, it will take at least two days for the siege vehicle to be built, although I don't know what secret weapon Mo Shen's kid has, but as long as the siege vehicle is built, our people can climb the tower."
He has any secret weapons for nothing, and he will kill them directly!" said Duke Allama.
"Does Uncle need me to increase his troops?" asked Alfred II.
"Your Majesty, this time you can't mobilize the troops of Lion City anymore, now the total number of troops in Lion City is only more than 900 people and less than 1,000 people, we still need to guard against the Empire's sneak attack!" Duke Allama said.
At this time, Mo Shen was about to discuss the next step in Sorrento, when Williams walked in.
"Your Highness, today our spies have come to report that Changhe Town has begun to purchase military rations and military equipment on a large scale, and siege engines are being built in the suburbs, should we go and destroy them?" asked Williams.
"No, let them build, hehe, do you think that you can climb the city wall and crush it with the number of people relying on siege vehicles?
"My lord, there are a hundred barrels of crude oil in storage!" Sorrento replied.
"Very good, select some soldiers with strong arms to come out, hum, let them turn into roast suckling pigs when the time comes!" Mo Shen said with a sneer.
"Williams, you and Mr. Philo, take some soldiers to Lion Lake City to purchase, and tell Faddell about the situation in Changhe Town, I think they will understand! Teddy prepare, follow me to White Deer Castle!" Mo Shen said.
"Yes!" said the crowd.
Mo Shen took Teddy and twenty personal guards to White Deer Castle, and Luo Luo also took Williams and others to Lion Lake City.
In the afternoon of the same day, Mo Shen rushed to the White Deer Fort, and after the soldiers defending the city saw Mo Shen and his party, they decisively went to report, and after a while, Ald Fred greeted him with a smile.
"Your Highness, you don't come in advance, I'll be prepared. Ald Fred said with a smile.
"Haha, isn't this a good time to spare, let's have a drink. Mo Shen said with a smile.
Accompanied by Eld Fred, Mo Shen and the others entered the castle, Mo Shen sat on the main seat, and Ald Fred sat on the lower side.
"Eld Fred, I don't know if you've heard anything about the town of Long River. Mo Shen asked with a smile.
"Your Highness, yesterday the messenger of the Duke of Brennus has sent the news, Alfred II ordered the three of them to meet the dukes, but the Duke of Elvwan and the Duke of Brenus refused, and I also learned from the letter that Alama may send troops in the near future, and was about to go to you, but I didn't expect you to come first. Ald Fred said with a smile.
"Well, I came this time in the hope that you could inform Duke Brennus not to come for reinforcements, and at the same time help me bring a word, the rear of Lion City will depend on Duke Brennus!" Mo Shen said with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Ald Fred was able to achieve his current position, but he was not stupid, and in an instant he understood what Mo Shen meant, it seems that this highness has a lot of plans.
"No problem, Your Highness, I'll deliver your message in a moment. Ald Fred said.
"Haha, then there is Baron Lao, I haven't stayed longer because of the busy military affairs recently, and we will have a good time next time we have a chance!" Mo Shen got up and left.
