Section 73 Spartth's Crusade: Fighting for Love

Previous Chapter

After a long wait, Spart, who was stationed in Ancient Tea, finally waited for a messenger sent by the royal capital.

When Spartt finished reading Carter's letter, he looked up and sighed, and silently leaned back in his chair without saying a word, with a very depressed look on his face.

Ladd had been accompanying Spart, and from Spartt's expression, he guessed a rough idea, and then asked directly, "What?" Your Majesty has rejected the Commander-in-Chief's request? ”

Spartt nodded silently, then got up and walked out of the tent.

Ladd hurriedly followed, followed closely behind Spart, and kept analyzing with Spart: "Lord Commander, I told you a long time ago that His Majesty's idea is to conquer Nila and completely realize the unification of Nila Lands. His Majesty's goal is very long-term, and he is doing so to completely make it impossible for the Nila people to build a state, and we will never be threatened by the Nila again. If you ask Your Majesty to send supplies to the Nila Empire at such a time, Your Majesty will definitely not agree to you. ”

"I'm a man of credit," replied, "and since I've promised Batun and Funina, I'm going to do what I say." Besides, Princess Funnina has already made an agreement with me, and I can't let Princess Funnina disappoint me because of my dishonesty. ”

After frowning and thinking for a while, Ladd continued to ask Spart, "Then does Your Majesty know about you and Funina?" ”

Spartt shook his head and replied, "I don't know yet." However, His Majesty mentioned Funina in his letter, saying that I should find a way to marry Funina, and then use the legend of the goddess of their Nila people to realize that I, the king of Nila, will continue to rule over the Nila people. ”

"Hmm." Rade replied in agreement: "Your Majesty is indeed wise, this is indeed the best of both worlds." ”

But Spart shook his head and said, "No, I can't do such a treacherous thing." Since I have promised Batun to make the Nila Empire a vassal of our Alto Empire, I will never force the Nila people to belong to our Alto Empire in the way that the Nila King did. ”

After saying that, Spartt turned to Ladd and asked, "I asked you to arrange the transfer of supplies from our territory, how is the matter going?" ”

Ladd replied, "Preparations have already begun in the territory, and it is estimated that the convoy will be able to set off to bring the ancient tea in the next few days." Are you sure you want to do this, Lord Commander? ”

Spat replied without hesitation: "Of course, how to use the materials in my own territory, this is my freedom, and no one can control me." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard hurriedly ran over and reported: "Report to the commander, something is wrong." The Duke of Heber joined forces with the nobles of Deman and Lehman to raise an army and rebel, and they were under the banner of killing the traitor Batun. The rebels had been embraced by the Nila people all the way, and now they had begun to march towards Nilagus in two directions, and the size of the rebel army had reached more than 200,000 men. ”

"What?" Spartt hurriedly asked, "What about His Majesty Batun and his army?" ”

The guard replied, "The rebels are very strong, and in order to avoid dividing his army and giving the rebels a chance, the king of Batun has recovered Elton and his legions, and the king's army is currently stationed in the city of Nilagus, intending to fight a decisive battle with the rebels in the imperial capital." ”

After hearing this, Spartt hurriedly turned around and left, and hurriedly instructed Rad as he walked: "Ladd, you are responsible for leading your knights to continue to garrison in Gucha, and Daniel and I will immediately lead the army to support." ”

When Ladd heard this, he hurriedly persuaded him: "Lord Commander, this is their own internal fighting among the Nila people, you must not meddle in this matter, otherwise Your Majesty will definitely blame you." ”

Spart's blood was high, and he replied coldly, "I don't care about that much." I have made an agreement with Funina that she is now my fiancΓ©e, and I will not allow any accidents to happen to my fiancΓ©e. ”

Seeing that Spart's answer was so resolute, Ladd had no choice but to give up and immediately turned around to gather the knights for Spartt.

In January 479 of the year of the new year, at the beginning of the new year, Spartt could not take a rest to celebrate the New Year's celebration, so he set out on a new journey with an army of 15,000 knights.

Heber was one of the two remaining guardians of the Nila empire, and although he temporarily compromised with Batun when he returned to Nilagus, Heber eventually joined the rebel camp against Batun's rule due to his different beliefs. The Heber represented the faction of the Nila who refused to compromise with the Alto Empire, which was endorsed and supported by the vast majority of the Nira. With the rebellion of Heber, all parts of Nila raised the banner of rebellion and joined the ranks of Heber.

On the plains south of the city of Nilagus, Heber led a line of rebels from Lehman to confront the Batun army in front of the city walls.

Batun was so angry that he rode out of the column and shouted at the opposite Heber: "Hebir, I, Nila, have been in the midst of water and fire, and I Batun have worked hard for our people, in the hope that we can avoid the scourge of war. As the duke of the empire, not only did you not consider the life and death of our people, but you provoked a war yourself. Do you want our Nila to be in ruins, and what good will it do you? ”

When Heber heard this, he rode out of the column and replied to Batun in front of him, "I, Heber, like the vast majority of our people, can die standing for the honor of our empire, but I must not bend my knees to the Knight in order to survive." ”

Batun angrily rebuked: "You are crazy, you are putting the lives of our people in a desperate situation, do you want to be a sinner of our Nila?" ”

Heber pointed his sword at Batun and said, "It is you, not me, who are the sinners of our Nira." For more than a thousand years, we have never submitted to other nations from the time of serfs to the age of empires. History only makes heroes, and a weak and incompetent person like you will always be spurned by future generations. Current events make heroes, and at the most critical moment of my Nila Empire, I, the Heber, am willing to join many people in the battle to exterminate those of you who have betrayed the Empire, as well as those who have betrayed the Empire. Today, I, Heber, will either become famous here in the war, or I will die for our empire, and future generations will remember what I Heber did today. And you, Batun, are destined to be the eternal sinner of our Nila. ”

After speaking, Heber waved his sword and pointed at the army behind him and said: "Batun, there are more than 80,000 volunteers behind me, if you are interested, surrender quickly, otherwise I will wave my army to level the imperial capital." ”

Batun was so angry that he gritted his teeth and scolded, "Bastard, you stupid guy. Look at these rebels of yours, they don't even have a decent piece of armor, do you think you can beat me Batun by piecing together these makeshift armies? Are you crazy? ”

After hearing this, Heber smiled coldly, and he no longer reasoned with Batun, and directly ordered the whole army to attack.

These excited rebels, they think that they can be invincible with their blood, and they feel that courage can win the world. The battle broke out in an instant, the shouts of killing filled the entire plain, and the two sides were instantly slaughtered, and the casualties began to rise rapidly.

The battle lasted for two days and two nights, and the rebels suffered heavy losses in front of the powerful knightly army of Batun. Eventually, Heber had to retreat three miles and wait for Deman's rebels to join him.

After the battle south of the city, the knightly army of Batun did not suffer many losses, but the 30,000 imperial troops led by Elton suffered heavy losses. The rebels in the direction of Deman were even larger, with more than 100,000 rebels rushing to Nilagus day and night.

Considering the large number of opponents, Batun finally had to give the order to withdraw the whole army to the city and station, intending to rely on the strong city walls to fight the rebels to the death.

When the time had come for the rebels to turn, Heber again led Lehman's 50,000 rebels to the city gates, and began to shout to the defenders on the city walls, persuading the soldiers not to die for the traitor Batun.

Heber's shouting had some effect, and many of the soldiers defending the city began to question the war, and the morale of the soldiers in the city began to fluctuate.

The situation was in a critical state, and Elton personally executed several commanders who tried to mutiny, and finally stabilized the morale of the army.

Batun anxiously wandered back and forth at the head of the city, and he asked Elton, "Have Deman's rebels arrived?" ”

Elton shook his head and replied, "According to the report from the spies, no trace of the Deman rebels has been found for the time being. ”

Then Elton looked up at the sky and asked Elton again, "The best thing about this Hiber is that he has a mouth that can speak." As soon as this Deman's rebels arrive, they will definitely implement a strategy of besieging but not attacking, and when our city runs out of food, the city will be able to collapse itself. Our army is now unstable, and we can't go out of the city to meet the enemy, otherwise there may be a large-scale mutiny. Your Majesty, how should we respond? ”

Batun never imagined that things would become so out of control, he never expected that Heber would be on the side of the rebels. At this time, Batun suddenly thought of Spartth, so he turned his head and asked, "Is there any movement on Spartt's side?" If it didn't work, we immediately sent someone to King Nila for help. ”

Elt shook his head and replied, "There's no news about the Knights. Even if we send someone to set off now, I'm afraid it won't be too late. ”

Just as Batun shook his head and sighed, a huge army of knights suddenly appeared in the dense forest in the east direction, and the banner of King Nila led by him was particularly conspicuous, fluttering majestically in the wind.

Elton exclaimed with great joy: "Your Majesty, look, King Nila is here." But how did they come from the east side, could it be that they ......? ”

Batun looked joyful, nodded again and again, and said, "Well, I saw it." Judging from this posture, it is impossible to imagine that Spartt has led his army to exterminate Deman's group of rebels, which in turn encircled and suppressed Heber. ”

Soon Batun confirmed his suspicions, and when the Knight army entered the plain south of the city, Daniel, who was accompanying Spart, opened his throat and shouted: "Listen to the rebels of Deman, your rebels of Deman have been completely defeated by our army of Alto, and the remnants of their army have fled back to Deman, you don't have to wait for them any longer." ”

Hearing Daniel say this, Batun and Elton, who were standing at the top of the city and watching, laughed happily at the same time.

Just when Heber was panicking and didn't know what to do, Phrunina suddenly miraculously appeared at the head of the city, and she tore open her throat and shouted: "Brothers of Lehman, please do not oppose your king, lay down your weapons, I, Phonina, promise that you will not be punished in any way." ”

When Heber heard this, he hurriedly retorted loudly: "Don't believe her, she is not a real goddess, she is only the daughter of the traitor Batun." ”

At this time, Batun suddenly spoke: "Our esteemed goddess, Lord Phonina, has a marriage contract with Spart, the king of Nela, and in the near future, Phronina will marry Lord Spartt as his wife. You have also seen with your own eyes why Lord Spartt was able to easily defeat the hundreds of thousands of rebels of your Deman, because he is the husband chosen by the goddess, and he will always be invincible in our land of Nila. If you still think that you are our Nila people, please believe in me and in our Goddess. As long as you are willing to lay down your arms and surrender, I promise that you will still be our people, and we will treat you equally. ”

Despite Heber's frantic retort, in the minds of the Nila people, the goddess Funnina's position was irreplaceable, and the rebels put down their weapons one after another, despite Heber's roar.

When Spartt came in with a spear and pierced Hebor in the neck with a single move, all the rebels knelt down and bowed to Spart, showing great respect for the heroic figure and accepting the choice of Nila myth and legend.

With the help of Spart's army, Niragus was immediately relieved, and Elton led the army to various places to quell the rebellion. As a large amount of supplies from the sunny waters were sent into Nila, the Nila began to stabilize rapidly, and the Nila people who received food supplies began to raise their voices for Batun and Spart.

In order to quickly stabilize the situation, under the personal auspices of King Batun, Spartt and Funnina were soon married in Nilagus, which was the most sensational grand wedding of the Nila people.
