Chapter 218: Border City
"Lord Earl, and the viscounts, I'm sorry, Alan is late!" Alan said with a smile as he walked in and said to Earl Reagan and a few other viscounts with ugly faces.
"Viscount Musen is really busy! I can't even be late for such an important matter!" said Viscount Nightingale!" sneered.
"Hehe! Viscount Gao Wei is serious, after all, I am not as old as Viscount Gao Wei, I am more leisurely, and I leave everything to the people below, I am still young, I can't be idle, and I can't stop when I deal with things, isn't this accidentally late?" Allen said with a smile.
"You ......"
In the face of Allen's taunt, Viscount Nightingale's anger rose, and his face turned blue with anger.
"Alright, since Viscount Musen has arrived in time, let's take a seat first!" said Earl Reagan.
After hearing this, Alan stopped glaring at his high-dimensional viscount, nodded to the other viscounts in the chair, and chose a seat to sit down.
After Allen was seated, Earl Reagan began to say to the viscounts who came this time: "You should know that Archduke Div has asked my army of Earl Reagan to rush to the border city of Earlcounty of Alva before May! This time, not only our Earldom of Reagan, Marquis of Lane, and Earlcounty of Andre will lead troops to the border city, and Archduke Div has ordered our four major territories to fight against the incoming troops of the Duchy of Blue!"
"Then Lord Earl, I wonder what the strength of the Duchy of Blue is this time?" said Viscount Curry suspiciously.
"According to the information sent by Archduke Div, we should be facing the two knights of the Fire Dragon Territory of the Principality of Blue and the troops of some viscounts in the Fire Dragon Territory! about fifteen thousand!" said Count Reagan.
"The two knights of the Fire Dragon Domain?" Viscount Curry's face was solemn, and the faces of the other viscounts were also very unsightly.
Don't look at the number of coalition troops in the four major territories this time is close to 30,000, which is almost twice the military strength of the Principality of Blue this time, but if they are allowed to fight with the fire dragon leader, they are a little lacking in confidence.
The three major knights of the fire dragon can be said to be famous far and wide, and they are the elite of the elite, and now there are two major knights, that is, more than 6,000 elite soldiers, all of whom have cavalry strength, and only the Marquis of Ryan has an elite knight in the four major territories of their Principality of Kane, and most of the armies in other territories only have the strength of soldiers, and the warriors of cavalry strength are somewhat few, and the gap between the cavalry levels of the two sides is very obvious.
It is impossible for Marquis of Ryan's Iron Spear Knights to defeat the two major knights of the Fire Dragon Territory alone, and Marquis of Ryan regards his Iron Spear Knights as if they were treasures, and they are absolutely not allowed to have too much consumption, which means that Marquis of Ryan will not let his Iron Spear Knights fight against the two major knights.
Now if the four major territories want to stop the army of the Principality of Blue, they can only win by numbers.
"Don't worry too much, although the two major knight orders of the Fire Dragon Territory are strong, you must know that the strength of the Viscount Alliance of the Fire Dragon Territory except for the two major knight orders is not much different from ours, plus our numerical advantage, even if we can't win the battle, it is more than enough to stop them!" Count Reagan comforted at the right time.
Hearing Count Reagan's words, the faces of several viscounts looked a lot better.
"When are we leaving, Lord Earl?" asked Allen, after all, it was almost dawn.
"Depart after daybreak, and now you can go back and get ready!" replied Earl Reagan.
After Count Reagan finished speaking, the viscounts left the camp one after another and returned to their army station, and Allen was no exception.
For this battle with the Duchy of Blue, to be honest, Allen is not too worried, after all, it can be seen from the words of Earl Reagan that the overall strength of the two sides is not much different this time, the high-end strength of the Duchy of Blue is superior, and the Duchy of Kane is superior in overall quantity.
In the absence of sudden changes, once the two sides fight, it is likely to be a war of attrition, and the biggest characteristic of a war of attrition is that it takes a long time and it is difficult to distinguish the winner in a short period of time.
Allen's plan is naturally to take paddling as the main policy, and if he can, he will not fight, and minimize the number of deaths of warriors in his territory.
If the war is not too tight, Alan also plans to let Antonio take the border city instead of him, and he himself will return to the Musen territory.
The sun was gradually rising in the east, and the army of Count Reagan was also ready, and under the orders of Count Reagan, it began to set off.
This time, the Reagan Earldom sent 8,000 troops, and according to Allen's estimates, the cavalry warriors should be about 1,000 of them, all of whom walked in front of the team, of course, these are naturally not all of the territories, and the cavalry warriors of each territory will also bring out a part.
For example, the 1,000 soldiers brought by Allen this time are only in their early 300s, which is a lot, and the soldiers of other viscounties are only about a hundred, or even less, these guys are very shrewd and unwilling to put all the cavalry warriors in the territory into such a precipitous battlefield.
A team of more than 8,000 people slowly moved towards the northeast of the Principality of Kane like a torrent on the earth.
The march speed of the army was relatively slow, although the consumption of food and equipment for this battle was subsidized by the Archduke Diff, but the food along the way did need to be prepared in advance by the Earl of Reagan, so some supplies and other things needed to be pulled by carriages, which also affected the speed of the team.
From Twilight to Borderland, the army of Earldom Reagan traveled for four days to arrive at the Border City, which is located on the eastern border of the Duchy of Cairn and is established in the Earldom of Alva.
The team slowly moved forward, and the outline of a city came into Allen's eyes, this should be the border city! Allen said in his heart.
There are no mountains and cliffs, waves and huge rivers as Alan imagined, and a city towering majestically.
What entered Allen's eyes turned out to be a plain, a smooth road, and the border city was actually built in this kind of plain area! In Allen's opinion, this place did not have the slightest geographical advantage at all, and Allen couldn't help but wonder if this border city could really become a fortress-level border city blocking the Duchy of Blue.
If there is any characteristic of the border city, it is large, very large, the city wall is about seven meters high, and the width is not visible at a glance, but the place where the eye can reach is not the end, from this point of view, it can indeed be called a military fortress.
Allen had the heart to ask Count Reagan, but if you think about it, since you have come to this border city, then Allen has enough time to understand it, and there is no need to trouble Count Reagan, after all, he has a conflict with his son, and he can't pull his face.
The army did not pause, approached the city directly, stopped under the city, and after communicating with the guards, the guards knew that it was the army of Earl Reagan, and did not dare to stop it, so they let it go directly.
