Chapter 509: Norwen arrives

"Since the Duke of Vallar colluded with Deputy Chief Robella to seize the throne of the Kingdom of Camelot ten years ago, I have been hunted down for being a loyal servant of your father, Your Highness, and I have had to flee with my family."

"However, my two sons and one daughter were separated from us on the run, but I never complained about it!"

"Originally, I thought that my life was going to pass in the forest, until the news of your Highness, that you drew the sword of Bologna, spread, and I found hope!"

Lobin Khan's eyes were full of tears, and his stubble cheeks twitched slightly, and he said with a slight choked voice: "Let Your Highness see you laugh, you shouldn't have said this at this time!" ”

Arthur said with a sad face: "No, I will definitely remember your merits and contributions to the Royal Family of Carmellot, and I will never chill the heroes!" ”

Lobin Khan waved his hand and continued, "Since then, I have been running around the nearby villages, which are also oppressed by the local nobility, because the taxes demanded by the Duke of Valar are too high! ”

"Under my persuasion, they joined the rebellion against the Duke of Vallar, and they all firmly believe that after the new hero king, His Highness Arthur, you can lead them to a good life and protect them, so they are very supportive of you!"

"It's a pity that under the encirclement and suppression of the Duke of Vallar, there are only more than 300 people left, and there were more than 3,000 people after the initial incident......"

At this point, Lobin Khan's tone choked up again, he felt very guilty, and the soldiers who had originally followed him in the uprising were now less than a tenth of them, and most of them had died in the process of fighting the enemy.

Arthur's face was not good, he took the cross around his neck and said, "They will ascend to heaven, and they will be received by the Father and the King, and their souls will be immortal!" ”

Arthur then asked, "Can you tell me about the recent situation in the Kingdom of Camelot?" I just got here and don't know much about it. ”

Lobin Khan said to Arthur: "Camelot can be said to be full of smoke now! ”

"Due to the constant rebellion during the reign of the Duke of Vallar, the country can almost be said to be in poor straits, and basically every month or two, there will be a rebellion of commoners or nobles."

"But the Duke of Vallar has not learned his lesson in the slightest, and still maintains an extremely high tax rate, and any crime can be pardoned as long as he pays a sufficient fine!"

Speaking of this, there was a relatively large fluctuation in Lobin Khan's tone, and it was obvious that he was a jealous and hateful person.

"And recently, the news that you are the hero king of the language has spread, Your Highness, has caused more commoners and nobles who are dissatisfied with the Duke of Valar to revolt."

"As far as I know, there are two rebel armies of the commoners, and as for the rebel armies led by nobles and under the banner of supporting Your Highness, there are three bands."

"The largest group has more than a thousand regular troops, which is completely different from my army, which is made up of serfs, and even the Duke of Valar is very troubled."

"Now the experience of the Duke of Valar has been scattered among the rebel armies everywhere, but if Your Highness launches an attack, he may recall a large number of troops!"

After hearing this, Arthur nodded and asked, "What do you think are the chances of winning against the forces of the Duke of Upper Vallar with my current strength and strength?" ”

Lobin Khan listened to Arthur's inquiry, and his face couldn't help showing a trace of embarrassment, but after a few seconds of struggle, he gritted his teeth and said: "With all due respect, Your Highness, the troops under your command are indeed very elite, but the number is still too small!" ”

"The main reason why the Duke of Vallar levied such high taxes in the country was that he had to support a large army and mercenary troops."

"The mercenaries he hired alone have reached two thousand, and there are at least four thousand troops under his own direct command, plus one or two thousand troops loyal to his vassals, this is more than six thousand troops."

I see that Your Highness, your army is only more than 2,000 people, and it will be a little difficult to face the large number of troops of the Duke of Vallar! ”

Arthur's face froze a little after hearing this, and then he nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Baron Lobin Khan, but I am very confident, you will see it when the time comes!" ”

Arthur was not blindly optimistic, after all, at this time, there were still five rebel armies against the Duke of Valral in the Kingdom of Carmel, and these troops alone could contain at least one or two thousand troops of the Duke of Valar.

This was when the Duke of Vallar took the plunge of transferring most of his army to the battlefield against Arthur.

And Arthur, in addition to his own more than 2,000 soldiers, he also had reinforcements from William.

Arthur had already received a reply from William, and he knew that Viscount Norwin was on his way to the kingdom of Camelot with two hundred, that is, a wing of elite Iron Cross Knights, as well as three Denlenburg infantry brigades and an archer brigade.

He stayed in Denglenburg for more than a year, and he knew the combat capability of the Denglenburg army very well, and its strong combat effectiveness had long been reflected in one campaign after another, and the brilliant achievements in the holy war can explain everything.

Although the combat ability of the Denglenburg infantry is not as good as that of the Red Dragon Guards, it is because of the potions taken by the Red Dragon Guards, even so, once the two armies are compared, the Denglenburg infantry is not much inferior.

This is Arthur's assessment of the combat effectiveness of the Denlenburg army.

With the addition of the Denlenburg army, the number of troops on Arthur's side will reach four thousand, and the Duke of Vallar's troops will be pinned down somewhat, and the number of troops on both sides will not differ much at that time.

However, his own combat effectiveness is crushing the enemy, so Arthur has no doubts about whether the war will be successful.

In this way, after Arthur rescued Lobin Khan, he returned to the manor he had occupied earlier, where his entire army was stationed to rest.

At this time, Norwen had already reached the territory of the kingdom of Astra.

Although the kingdom of Astra and the kingdom of Carmellot are bordering each other, if Norwin wants to enter the kingdom of Carmelot, he must pass through the southern realm, which is under the control of the Duke of Valral.

Therefore, Norwen had to pass through the kingdom of Astra and reach Arthur's northern territory in order to meet him smoothly.

Seven days later, on the 21st day of the fifth month of the year 1233 A.D., he finally arrived at Arthur's manor.

"Arthur!"

Norwen looked at the knight who had been with William, the current prince, with a slightly complicated expression.

"I am ordered to support you with three infantry brigades, an archer brigade, and a wing of the Iron Cross Knights!"

Arthur looked at the core figure of Denlenburg, who he had often seen, and his face was also a little complicated, quite a bit of vicissitudes.

He nodded, and said without humility or arrogance: "Thank you Count Denlenburg for your help, and thank you Viscount Norwen, the battle is about to begin, I hope you and your troops can prepare as soon as possible!" ”
