Fifty kilometers outside Laughlinburg, a rather elite looking force appeared on the road, carrying a large number of supplies behind them, and thousands of heavily armed soldiers marched quickly.

When some of the caravans walking around saw this team, they took refuge one after another, for fear that they would be targeted by this terrible force.

"My lord, at the current rate, we will probably be near Laughlinburg by noon tomorrow!" Baron Muyurn said as he rode on his standing horse, holding a slightly missing map in his hand.

"Well, that's good, there's no news of the fall of Laughlinburg, has it?" General Yousen smiled and rubbed his beard and said, "Keep marching, soon we may face a war!" ”

At this time, an even more fierce dispute broke out in the camp of the Kingdom of Riborn.

"You know, Honorable Bishop Cole!!" General Dampier's voice suddenly raised eight pitches, and he said loudly: "If we can't recover Laughlinbai, none of us can afford this consequence!" ”

"I can't stand the wrath of His Majesty, and you can't stand the wrath of the Pope! Can't you just cooperate with me? General Dampier said angrily.

"Hmph, it's just that you can't bear the wrath of the king, and I won't face the wrath of the Pope......"

As he spoke, Bishop Cole suddenly stopped talking from his mouth, and with a taboo expression on his face, it seemed that he was missing something.

And this, however, happened to be keenly discovered by General Dampier, who hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" Why don't you live to bear the wrath of the Pope? ”

Bishop Cole, on the other hand, was so jealous that he ignored General Dampier's questioning and hurried out of the tent.

"Answer me, please! Dear Bishop Kohl! General Dampier stood in front of Bishop Cole at a speed that was not at all appropriate for his age, and said in a deep voice.

"Please get out of the way, General Dampier, I still have a lot of things to do, many wounded soldiers need to be blessed by the Holy Father, I hope you don't cry to stop me from praying for the blessings of the soldiers!" With that, Bishop Cole bypassed General Dampier and continued his way outside the tent.

This time, General Dampier did not stop him, and Bishop Cole walked out of the tent.

It wasn't until Bishop Cole had come out of the tent that General Dampier slammed it on the table, and this time he had figured it all out.

The reason why this Bishop of Cole has repeatedly sabotaged General Dampier's plan is that they don't want the Kingdom of Riborn to win.

It must be that the church wants to be able to consume some more royal power and then continue to expand their influence in the kingdom of Riborn.

And maybe the church has reached some kind of agreement with the Tskema Kingdom, anyway, the Tskema Kingdom has the support of the White Rose Kingdom, even if there is a war, even if the church wins, it will have to pay a big price.

And if you continue to focus on the Kingdom of Ruiborn, the loss will definitely not be too big, and the benefits will not be small.

By doing so, Bishop Cole directly expanded the church's reputation for cherishing nobles, and at the same time created a bad reputation for the royal family not knowing how to care for vassals.

And the responsibility for the failure of the war is also completely denied, and there is no harm at all.

After all, the purpose of the Tskma Kingdom was not to occupy Laughlinburg for a long time, but to exist as an exchange, so it must be returned.

In this way, the church does not have to pay anything, and it can get more benefits, which is why Bishop Cole said that he will not be punished by the Pope.

This plan was approved by the Pope, or explained by the Pope, and of course it was not to bear the wrath, but if Bishop Cole messed up, he would be punished.

Now the matter was completely reasonable, General Dampier frowned, his face was a little calm, but his tightly clenched hands revealed the unrest in his heart.

"Gather all the nobles loyal to the king, and we will launch a final attack!"

General Dampier struggled in his tent for a few moments before he spoke weakly to the herald outside the door.

The blow to him was so great that the dream of the Kingdom of Ribourne to produce a domestic church was even more distant.

Since he was a child, he has been oppressed by unscrupulous monks, so he does not have a good impression of the church, so he is quite supportive of the abolition of church rights, and has worked hard for many years.

After all, from the generation of King Bansel's father, the old king, General Dampier has always supported the old king's policies.

However, after all, the power of the church was deeply rooted in the kingdom of Riborn, and it was not so easy to eradicate the operation for hundreds of years.

It was not until the new king Banser came to the throne that it took seven years of hard work to finally take back those lost rights from the church.

General Dampier rode on his standing horse and appeared under the walls in person.

This time it was a last battle, and if it was not successful, General Dampier would immediately give the order to retreat, after all, the nobles who were loyal to the church were completely untrustworthy.

"Attack!" General Dampier drew his long sword, and with an order, thousands of Minhang soldiers began to pour towards the city wall like a tide.

However, in the face of brutal blows, boiling dung water, flames caused by flakes of oil, and a steady stream of falling stones.

The soldiers, whose morale had collapsed, finally could not withstand the blow and began to disperse one after another.

General Dampier had a tired expression on his wrinkled face, not physically, but mentally.

"Retreat!"

After General Dampier said this, he rode away slowly, his back still complete, no longer the same as before.

The fate of a country, burdened by this old man and veteran, has already overwhelmed him, and the lonely back makes people look very sad.

After their retreat, General Youssen also led his troops to the outside of Laughlinburg, and the danger of the castle being lost was completely resolved.

In fact, if the enemy did not appear and still surrounded the castle, then it would be quite difficult for them to get in.

After all, the classic tactic of encircling and sending reinforcements has not appeared here, and they are also quite dangerous outside the city.

But fortunately, there was a contradiction between the enemies, and they hurriedly retreated, otherwise I don't know how long this war would last.

General Yousen entered the castle with his troops, and the Count handed over all the city's defenses to General Yousen, but what they had plundered before was all in their pockets.

For example, the more than 500 citizens selected by William are the best employees of the handicraft workshop, and they can also be qualified for military judges and heralds.

There were also more than 800 serfs plundered, as well as the booty in the castle, and this time the loot in the castle was definitely quite a lot.

William roughly estimated that if his booty was converted into silver coins, it would be nearly 20,000 pieces, which was not a small amount!
