Compared with Novgorod, Pskov, which had become a steel city that never slept day and night, calmed down the original troubles and returned to silence. However, the original woods around it were all cut down, and the traditional grange was razed to the ground by the Teutonic Knights, which was peaceful, but there was no hope of death. Everything in the city was destroyed, from the Orthodox churches to the Rus' houses. All these self-proclaimed apostles of the kingdom of heaven have done is destruction.

The Teutonic Knights left behind an empty city, suppressed by the cold aura of machinery, and no one wanted to approach it. After a baptism of sword and fire, the history of this once-famous city of Novgorod finally came to an end.

"The Grand Master made such a fanfare, and it seemed that he was not at all worried about what Novgorod was preparing for. Desaines-kun! "Pskov, which is almost an empty city, has only a small number of mecha knights in charge of guarding, and in the office of the General Defense Administration here, the two knight nobles are making mistakes and tasting the special spirits of the Rus region, but their expressions are not relaxed.

"Perhaps His Excellency the Grand Master thinks there is no need for this! Hmph, you and I have no chance of this war, so what qualifications do we have to point fingers. ”

"It's not so much about the destruction of Alexander and Novgorod as about the destruction of our forces! We, the Livonians, charged for them, but in the end we were dead and the dogs were ・・・・・・"

"You've said it, Lord Djosewade." Decenes looked at the other party and said, but it was like this, and the man's eyes were also a little cold. In fact, the success of the Livonian faction was a complete coincidence, and if it weren't for the incredible affinity of the Livonians for mechas, the Teutonic Knights would not have accepted the Knights of the Sword Order, which was extremely weak at the time. They occupy less than five percent of the Order's seats, but they have two Livonian district captains, which in itself is very disgruntled by many Prussian factions, and in recent years there has been friction between the two factions, which has made them constantly worried.

"It was the Grand Master who proposed to take us in the first place, and even if he was dissatisfied, he would not use such means."

"I hope so!" But Djosewade sneered slightly, I'm afraid even Desaenes won't believe this statement! In the past few years of expansion, the Livonian faction has made great achievements, even if it offends the backbone of the original Teutonic Knights, it is nothing new. And the meritorious masters, as a Teuton, Kniprod would really be 100% at ease with them?

Especially since neither of their two district captains could follow them on this expedition, it meant that the main knights of the Livonian faction under their jurisdiction would have to obey the command of the Prussian faction.

"You think he's going to use our people as cannon fodder? That couldn't be, unless Kniprod wanted to watch the Knights he had built up come to an end. However, Decenes shook his head, so many main knights, even if they were Livonians, such a loss was something that Kniprod could not afford, even if he wanted to weaken their power, he would not use such an extreme method, he still believed this. Although he was a Livonian, Decenes was not a radical, on the contrary, he was very calm, and he always tried to quell the disputes within the Order.

"Perhaps, it's just that this war is the first time I've felt a bad feeling." Djoseved said faintly that launching the Novgorod offensive was a unilateral decision made by Kniprod this time, and neither the Prussian faction nor the Livonian faction was in favor of it, and the Novgorod attack, which had already been prepared, was incomprehensible.

Just as the two were talking to themselves, there was a deafening alarm bell outside the window!?

"Knock Knock Knock ・・・・・・"

It is the only remaining building in Pskov - the bell tower!

Although it is already a very old building, it is indeed very effective as a warning tool, and the sound of the bell tower suddenly resounded throughout the city, and the two of them put down the wine glasses in their hands in shock. Originally, he was slightly drunk, and he immediately wiped it out.

What's going on? The two looked at each other, Pskov had obviously become the rear of the Teutonic Knights and was responsible for the supply of the army, how could he be on guard, what would threaten here?!

A bad premonition spread in the eyes of the two.

・・・・・・

"What happened?" The two who hurried to the barracks glanced at the garrison troops stationed in the city, because of the Teutonian Knights' outpouring this time, all they could command was all five hundred infantry, and less than ten mechs, and all but the two of them were auxiliary knights, in case something really big happened, it was not something they could handle.

"Report to the District Captain!" The dignified-looking intelligence officer stepped forward quickly, and De Senes and De Jose Wade in front of the team said: "According to the report of the reconnaissance office, we have found that a large number of troops have appeared in the southeast area, and they are approaching here!" It seems to be ・・・・・・ Rus. ”

"What are you kidding?!" The two of them changed color, "How can Rus's army appear outside Pskov at this time?!" ”

"But that's really the case, and there are nearly 10,000 infantry, and there are a large number of mecha knights, and they are still some distance away from here at this time. District Captain, we must report to Grand Master immediately, or we're done here!" The officer said in horror that he had not reported that the army had been standing still for nearly an hour and had not moved, but that the fear of the number of enemies had made him unconsciously make the mistake.

At this time, the two district captains who heard the news also looked at each other, what should they do, whether to rely on this little force to hold on to Pskov City or report to Kniprod for support.

"Can you know which troops are where? Do they have flags? ”

"It's the Grizzly Flag, it should be Novgorod's army." The official hurriedly said that the Teutonic Knights had set up some civilian institutions in charge of administration and diplomacy in imitation of the state structure, and most of them were stationed in Pskov City, and they were very panicked at that time, how could they resist so many troops with this little force.

"What the hell is going to happen now?" Djosewade asked, looking at his colleague.

"Let's go and ask Your Excellency the Grand Master first!" Decenes made a solemn look at his decision.

No one knows why a powerful Rus' army would attack the city of Pskov, aren't they going to defend Novgorod ?! (To be continued.) )
