Chapter 545: A Showdown

The Duke of Bunkerson had to send a large number of outposts every day to test the situation, and the sentinels on both sides had to engage in fierce battles every day.

And in many cases, the Duke of Bunkerson would even order the whole army to advance and prepare for a decisive battle.

However, these coalition forces have no intention of fighting, and whenever Duke Bunkerson advances, these noble coalition forces will retreat with him.

Even if he does not fight a decisive battle with the enemy, the Duke of Bunkerson also ordered many spies to go to the kingdom of Tzkma to claim his dominance.

He made a big difference in his own identity, but it was normal, as the younger brother of King Brolin, he also had the right to inherit the country.

And after the death of King Brolin and Queen Daline's sole heir, he is the first in line of succession, higher in line than Queen Daline.

It is very common for him to claim his inheritance, in fact, the inheritance of territories and titles is very complicated, and sometimes, the lord of your empire may have the inheritance of your domestic territory because of some kinship that cannot be matched.

In the event of any accident, such as the heir of the lord in your realm, there will soon be many heirs claiming the inheritance of the territory.

Some of the past or feudal lords were willing to abide by this rule, so they could only helplessly watch as their vassals' domains were inherited by enemy lords.

Some kings and feudal lords will choose to use force to speak, forbidding others to inherit the territory, and then reclaiming the territory themselves.

In many cases, wars between two countries are caused by this inheritance, and if a country has a large number of enemy succession territories, then it is likely to lead to a war.

Of course, there is a lot of room for maneuvering, and if the strength is sufficient, even the feudal lord or king can take this kind of territory for himself or transfer it to other vassals to improve relations.

The current situation is somewhat similar, although Duke Bunkersen has the first right to inherit the throne, he has a hatred for almost all the nobles in the kingdom of Tskema.

After all, when King Brolin was in power, most of the nobles had fought with the Duke of Bunkerson, and no one believed it if they didn't hold a grudge.

Although the nobles are all interest animals, no one dares to say whether they will settle accounts after Duke Bunkerson ascends the throne, after all, such a thing has not happened.

Therefore, all the nobles have a tacit agreement that no matter which side becomes king, the Duke of Bunkerson must not be allowed to become king.

But even so, the nobles of the coalition army are indeed afraid of the enemy, and they do not dare to confront Duke Bunkerson head-on.

In a month's time, Duke Bunkerson had advanced forty kilometers, that is, the coalition forces of the kingdom had retreated forty kilometers.

And when Duke Bunkerson advanced again, the coalition forces were too loyal to bear it, and the leaders of the coalition gathered to discuss countermeasures.

Although Count Creed was a bit of a bully and afraid of the hard, he was still more temperamental, and he said angrily: "Duke Bunkerson has advanced forty kilometers, which means that we have cowardly escaped forty kilometers!" Are we going to keep running away? ”

"It's just a strategic retreat! No one wants to lose too many troops, do they? "Earl of Sattell: Since Earl Creed refused to marry Moya to his son Sir Faun because of Novener, the relationship between the two has quickly fallen to a freezing point.

Many times he would be at odds with Count Creed, and now he was no exception, and many nobles agreed with his words, and no one wanted their old capital to be consumed by the battlefield.

Count Creed was pushed by him, his face became very ugly, and he said, "Shall we just go back like this?" Now we are still in the territory of the royal family, and if we continue to retreat, I am afraid that the troops of the Duke of Bunkerson will set foot on the territory of the nobles! ”

"If we keep fearing the enemy like this and don't dare to fight, maybe the enemy will wreak havoc on our territory, and then drive straight into the city of Brijek, and take the crown with pride!"

Count Creed's words also made perfect sense to the nobles, who did not want their troops to be lost, but they did not want their territory to be destroyed and plundered by the enemy.

Therefore, they have a lot of discussions below, after all, this is a coalition army, and many nobles are qualified to come here to observe, and their opinions are also very important.

After all, if the army is gone, you can continue to train and recruit, but if the territory is gone, then everything is over.

Is a nobleman without a territory still a nobleman? A landless nobleman may be reduced to a poor landless nobleman, running from place to place, humbly begging other nobles to grant him a piece of land as a vassal.

No one wanted such a day, and just as they hesitated, Count Creed spoke again: "If Duke Bunkerson really becomes a king, I don't think anyone here will have a good life!" ”

"When His Majesty the old King Brolin was in power, under his leadership, we invaded the Duchy of Bunkerson! If Duke Bunkerson becomes king, none of us will be able to escape! ”

He slapped the table and shouted, "Defeat the invaders!" The fate of the kingdom of Tskma is up to us! ”

His shout aroused the emotions of the other nobles, and they also shouted: "The fate of the kingdom is in our own hands!" ”

When Count Suttle saw that the nobles had such an attitude, and that there were even his own vassals in the shouts, he knew that he could no longer oppose Count Creed.

If he objected again, it would not be to find fault with Count Creed, but to make enemies of all the nobles.

So, in this way, all the nobles determined not to retreat.

They will be here, fighting Duke Bunkerson and his troops.

If he wins, then Duke Bunkerson will not have a chance to touch the throne of the Kingdom of Tskema, and if he loses, then all the nobles will be taken by Duke Bunkerson.

Three days later, in the early morning of the 21st day of the tenth month of the Holy Calendar, when the Duke of Bunkerson advanced again and prepared to continue his advance, he found that there was actually a group of soldiers waiting in front of him.

He immediately asked the soldiers to stop, and after observing the enemy's formation, he understood that the days of advancing casually to the hinterland of the kingdom of Tskma were over, and now it was the final decisive battle.

At the same time, he also knew the importance of this war to him, and he had the soldiers set up and the knights surrounded him.

The central army, the left flank and the right flank are very tight, and the coalition army of the Kingdom of Cikma is also in a neat three armies, ready to fight the enemy head-on.

There was not much difference in numbers between the two sides, with only 400 knights and 3,000 regular troops on the Duke of Bunkerson's side, and about 400 knights and 4,000 soldiers on the coalition side.
