Heller, Count of Carchand, personally sent Segal II out of the camp of the Great Army of Carchand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Count Heller's attitude towards Segal II was almost the exact opposite of what had been done before, which made the soldiers of Karkhand suddenly shudder.
Segal II looked very depressed, and at the time of parting, in front of all the warriors and knights on both sides, he hugged his father-in-law affectionately, this scene completely dissolved the mutual suspicion between the two sides, and the suspicion between the two sides disappeared in this moment.
However, Heller, Count of Carchhand, refused to enter the city of Palma with Segal II, who was not at all interested in the hospitality that Segal II claimed.
"Kid, I don't have any heart for a delicious meal right now. On the contrary, I am more concerned about when you will be able to muster all the forces of Parma, and I will go to the city of Entel and sacrifice the head of the boy of the Isttam family to my dear daughter. He killed my daughter and ruined my Heller's life. I swear to slaughter the nobles who cling to him and the army of Ayla who stands in my way. and shall not withdraw his troops until they reach his city. Heller, Earl of Calkhand, was accumulating the anger in his heart, waiting for the moment when the volcano erupted.
"Dear father-in-law. I, Segal Saxon, swear by the sacred duty of your son-in-law that within a few days I will mobilize all the warriors of my kingdom and join you in venting my anger in the north and south of the Ella Mountains. Segal II placed his forehead close to Heller, Count of Carchand, on his dry lips, asking for a kiss from his father-in-law.
"The blessing of Arcana will give you unparalleled strength. My baby. Heller, Count of Charkhand, closed his eyes, kissed Segal II lightly on the forehead, and then took the crown that Segal II had thrown on the ground and put it on the top of Segal II's head, and shouted to his warriors: "Fort Karkhand will defend the royal power of His Majesty Segal II, King of the Kingdom of Rinston, with blood, and the Duke of Entre has murdered my daughter and desecrated Her Royal Highness, the most respected queen of the people of Carchand, and they will pay a terrible price for their many crimes!" ”
"Ah!! Slaughter Entle! Destroy Easttem! The Kakhand warriors shouted so passionately that the knights of honor and the knights of the King's Army also raised their weapons and chanted.
Trirech Hawking laughed maniacally, as if he saw Segal II's frustration hiding the red of the knife burned by the coals.
"Dear father-in-law, I will provide all your supplements, and in half a month, raise troops to fight at the place where your camp is located! I will also be in the battle to avenge my beloved. Segal II turned and mounted his mount, surrounded by the knights and guards of honor, and headed for the royal city.
Within the agreed month and a half, the messengers who delivered the news frequently entered and exited the royal capital of Palma on fast horses, and as the time approached, the vassal armies of Segal II also came from around the king's territory to camp outside the royal city of Palma, and the first to arrive at the royal capital were hundreds of Monterland pikemen gathered under the banner of the Star of Xiaoqiong, followed by hundreds of lightly armed archers provided by the Frankenstein family wearing black and red checkered coats of arms, and some smaller vassals in some mining estates were numerous, Dozens of small vassal armies who arrived one after another set up tents around the Montland and Frankenstein barracks, and united like stars and moons to form a joint camp of the same size as the Arkand camp, with flags and patterns that encompassed the mountains and rivers of Parma.
As the day of departure approached, the horn of the expedition finally sounded over the cloudy Palma, and with the opening of the south gate of the thick outer city, the first to emerge from the outer city was not the large army of the king's army of the blue sky and Yellowstone Citi, but the gray-clad Kolo mercenary group led by Fort Onnest. Then there was King Segal II of Rinston and his knights of the Guard, among whom Trerech Hawking and Spiket were naturally included, but they were not as conspicuous as Segal II. I saw that Segal II was wearing a close-fitting king's golden armor, although the practicality of this armor made of pure gold could not be compared with the protective ability of iron armor, but the surface of the golden armor emitted bursts of golden light could boost the morale of the soldiers; It wore the King's Helmet and was covered with Rinston's jewel-encrusted crown, which shot out a magnificent burst of gemstone brilliance of several different colors, and the red background of the King's cloak held the azure ground yellow stone flower coat of arms embroidered with gold thread, as if it were the rising sun in the red glow.
Immediately pouring out of the royal city were the mighty warriors of the King's army, dressed in yellow clothes and yellow armor, shining like the shimmering waves of the sea near Parma. Under the command of Segal II, they gathered with the vassal armies outside the city and marched to the meeting place agreed with his father-in-law.
Earl Heller of Karkhand had ordered all the Knights and Warriors of Karkhand to pack up and place their baggage supplies behind the troops, and then he personally mounted his horse and stood with several of the Knights of the Kakhand Tomahawk on the path of the King's army, which was a huge force of troops.
He saw Segal II in the king's golden armor from afar, and withdrew with the knights of the Kakander tomahawk to the side of the road, only to meet the snowy wind that still blows in the spring of Parma.
"Thank you, dear father-in-law." Segal II nodded to Count Heller, who was waiting by the roadside, and then rode towards him, he gently stretched out his hand and pulled his father-in-law excitedly, "Soon, we will take revenge, these warriors have high morale and are well trained. ”
"Yes, these are my loyal soldiers, son. They are ready for battle, and they can't wait to vent their anger with their tomahawks and wash away Ella's insults with the blood of their enemies! Waiting for your review! Please! Count Heller's face was solemn, and he showed Segal II the Kakhandan warriors he led, these black-clad and black-armoured Kakhandan warriors stood upright with their axes in hand, and even though they were numerous, they could stand in a formation that was not chaotic.
"All warriors cast in iron!" Segal II gave a thumbs up to Count Heller. I was already thinking about the magnificent scene, and of course, the old enemy who fell to his knees, Walker Easttem, the Duke of Ella.
All forces have been assembled. In the open field outside the royal capital of Palma, there are densely rolled flags of various colors, and under the flags is a crowded sea, and each infantry phalanx is led by several knights, these knights and warriors look at Segal II and Count Heller of Karkhand beside him one by one, and the mighty momentum makes these soldiers who are killing as their profession naturally stir in their chests but consciously silence. Just waiting for the moment that is in your heart.
Shedding Count Heller's hand, Segal II rode ahead of the crowd, surrounded by dozens of knights of the Guard.
"Ladies and gentlemen! You are the sons and daughters of the nobles who are diligent in government inside and outside the royal city, the athletes of the toiling people inside and outside the royal city, the men of the merchants and merchants inside and outside the royal city, and the down-and-out homeless people inside and outside the royal city! Perhaps as the monarch of the kingdom, you have complained about me, and there were people who were angry with me before, but I tell you that the root of all this did not come from me at all! I know that the rumors that are being passed on to each other in your mouths - that the pure-blooded King of the Kingdom of Rinston is indifferent to you! On the contrary, I love you quite much, though not as much as I love my queen, but I have fulfilled all the duties of a prince of the Saxon royal family. Imagine that the royal city of Parma has been in constant war like the Ella Mountains for several years? In contrast, you live in peace and happiness, at least in my eyes, although the distribution is uneven, but the title of king is bestowed by our great goddess Arcana, and naturally those nobles who have contributed to the kingdom should enjoy more rights and more obligations to the kingdom! However, the original Isttermium family of Yafen had obtained the Earldom of Entre through war, and for the sake of peace, I gave him the title of duke, but the ambitious and odious Duke not only did not settle down in the Ella Mountains, but wanted to go against the will of Arcana that had been imposed on the entire kingdom! Not only did he steal all the money I had allocated to you by smuggling, but he also wanted to plot to kill me, the rightful king, and even went so far as to kill my dear wife, the queen who had volunteered to appease Entle! This is an insult to all the subjects of the Kingdom of Rinston, and this is a betrayal of Arcana! Let me ask, if it were you, what would you do to your enemy? Segal II raised the ornate royal sword hanging from his waist and collided with the weapons raised by the warriors in the front row of the army.
"Blood debt and blood payment!" The army roared in waves.
"Imagine the day when our flags will be hoisted over Entre and Yafenburg, on the summits of the Ella Mountains, how proud we will be! Imagine the day when you return from disarming, the red carpet lined with flowers prepared for you by your family! Some people may find it rather unreal, because some of the soldiers were once criminals in Linston! But I tell you that just as our Goddess of Mercy and I am also a Merciful King, I will not let you lose sight of hope! Segal II's next words made all the warriors hold their breath, and the sound gradually subsided, only a pair of eyes stared into Segal II, "I swear, after the war is over, all your crimes will be forgiven, and you will be reborn!" And the rest of the honorable warriors who fought for our country will be rewarded generously by me! ”
"Gracious Your Majesty." All the warriors waved their weapons and cheered happily.
Amid the cheers of the army, Trirech Hawkingze, the military governor of the royal city, greeted Segal II.
"Your Majesty, the sources of troops in each department have been counted." Trirech Hawking whispered in Segal II's ear, but with the other hand he held out his thumb to the knight of the guard behind the king, in what seemed like a natural compliment.
"Troops?" King Segal II raised his eyebrows slightly, "Read!" ”
"200 hoplites in the headquarters, 2,800 hoplites, 200 light cavalry, 200 light infantry, and 400 archers of the Kolo mercenary regiment; 120 tomahawk knights, 958 hoplites, and 3,520 light infantry; vassal Baron Monterland, 3 hoplites, 185 pikemen; 2 heavy knights and 258 archers in the army of the vassal Baron Frankenstein; Aitto, Mezura and other minor nobles sent 12 hoplites, 150 hoplites, 227 light infantry, and 310 archers. Total number of troops: 9,545. It's only a matter of time before you level the north and south of Mount Ella! Tryrech, the general of Segal II, held the parchment in his hand and reported to Segal II the number of troops sent by the vassals of each department.
"Blow the trumpet! Let's go! Segal II patted Trirech on the shoulder, and then showed a strange smile, which made Trirech's heart suddenly chill.
The sound of the trumpets was mixed with the cheers of the army of Segal II, and the sword of Segal II was on the side, and his eyes seemed to have changed souls, like a beast awakened from a deep sleep, surrounded by the knights of the guard.
Segal II knew that the number of troops he led was overwhelming over the Duke of Ella, and that history had tipped the scales of victory in his favor. It's all thanks to the two 'Knights of the Guard' on the left and right behind him.
