The First Arrival Chapter 20 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Fort Lundia

"Earl, our army's flank has been attacked by Hibiki horses, what should we do next?" One of the knights of Berlands asked.

"How about the loss." Brandz said nonchalantly.

"According to the news from an hour ago, the death toll is more than three hundred......" the knight stuttered a little.

"What? There are more than 300 people, and aren't there only 500 people in the ringing horses around us? Berlands was furious.

"According to the news of various eyeliners, this is true, but for some reason, a large number of ringing horses gathered around the castle overnight."

"Withdraw the troops, retreat to the castle, and save everything the caravan can save. I wrote to my father, saying that the army of Xiangma was with me, and asked him to rush to help. ”

The Count of Brandz was not very talented since he was a child, and even if he was a noble heir, becoming a nobleman had to pass some simple tests, and he did not pass. Even so, thanks to his father, the Count of Craggs, and his family's connections, he recaptured the once captured Fort of Lundia. Increase your reputation in one fell swoop and become the lord of this place with the help of your family. Although he is not a so-called genius, he has reached the level standard through hard work. With the help of three knights, his troops numbered more than six hundred, one hundred of whom were heavy cavalry. Historically, Berlands had been able to defeat an equal number of ringing horses with minimal sacrifices, but that was no longer the case.

Things weren't as simple as Berlandz thought.

As soon as the order reached the troops outside the city, a dense crowd of horses rushed over, drowning the sparse crowd like a sea.

In the end, less than a hundred people were withdrawn.

Unfortunately, the herald was also taken down by Hibiki, and there will be no timely support.

More than 3,000 horses surrounded the fort of Lundia, which was only a hundred men defending the city.

Even with such a big advantage, Hibiki did not act rashly, but resorted to his usual tricks, a large number of arrows to suppress.

The traps in the city, the boiling oil, are no joke.

Berlands was so angry that he would never think that he would be buried in the hands of the ringing horse, or all his possessions. Defeat is a common occurrence on this continent, even the high king cannot avoid it, it is not a shameful thing, even if the battle is defeated, the nobles can have a decent life if they are captured, and there is a chance to make a comeback. Now he was worried about whether he would be able to enjoy the rights of the nobility or be brutally killed in the face of this group of ringing horses, and it was obvious that the chances of the former were almost zero.

After being suppressed by a rain of arrows for a few hours, Berlands ordered the troops to surrender, raising a white flag, which no one did not understand.

Surprisingly, the group of ringing horses turned out to be a leader, and his name was Ubai.

Ubai, the son of Aguer, is also very aggressive.

"What about Yan Ubai?" The corners of Brandz's mouth trembled slightly.

"You may call it that, Count Berlands."

"Please accept my surrender." Brandz bent over and presented his knight's sword with both hands. This is the basic process of surrender.

"Hurry up and tell your family to prepare the ransom." Ubay took the sword nonchalantly.

In the dungeon, Berlands sensed something. First the father was exiled, and then the son attacked the castle with a large herd of ringing horses? It doesn't make sense. And he told me to hurry up and prepare the ransom? This is not logical, the nobles will not say these words in public for the sake of face, and the ransom is always prepared voluntarily by the captive party. Suddenly, a hint of horror flashed in the corner of Berlands's eyes. Is he going to be, mutiny?

The next day, news spread that Fort Lundia had been breached.

Suno, a count in the luxurious castle was furious.

The capture of the castle by Hibiki was the first of its kind on the continent in hundreds of years, and the humiliation was enough for some nobles to commit suicide.

Even the venerable Earl of Craggs was not ashamed. If it had been him in the past, I am afraid that the large army would have gone out of the city, but now his army has been greatly reduced, and even after this period of recovery, his army is not as strong as that of Berlands. With nowhere to vent, he frantically destroyed his furniture and even injured his personal knights......

Calming down, Craggs noticed something unusual and wrote to Haraus.

Fort Lundia, the ringing horses who entered the city were extremely excited, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, and being disciplined outside the city, but here they were completely exposed, and even their head Ubai was not taken into account.

It seems that Hibiki's partnership with Ubai has broken down.

Even Yi Ye understood how bad the aristocratic nature of cooperating with Xiangma was.

Nayan Ubai's reputation was getting worse and worse, but he didn't seem to care about it, his army consisted of only six hundred light cavalry, and it was not good for him to deal with the rebellious horses in the city. Originally, he planned to develop well in this city, and then welcome the arrival of his family and force Saiga Khan to go to war.

About a hundred years ago, when it was the heyday of the Swadia Kingdom, they accepted the Kujits, considered them a minority, and divided an autonomous region to the Kujits, but this peace did not last long, on the other side of the East China Sea, a large wave of Kugits attacked, although they were all Kujits, but the Kujit who settled in Karadia and the natives who attacked did not belong to the same tribe, the steppe was their home field, maybe the Kujit who settled here were peaceful for too long, and even the most familiar bow could not be drawn, Soon, the Kugit conquered all the towns in the steppe region and established the Kugit Khanate, declaring war on the heyday kingdom of Swadia.

The two sides engaged in a tug-of-war, the perennial war proved the fact that Svadia was the overlord of the plains, and the Kugit Khanate was the overlord of the steppes, once the war was fought on the plains, the cavalry phalanx of Svadia could easily repel the enemy army, and when they pursued to the steppe area, their military horses became clumsy, the spears were useless, and the grass all over the ground blocked their view, and the Kugit archers were steppe horses, which were extremely flexible here, they did not need to attack, they only needed to shoot arrows in their hands at the large shaking grass, Many times after a battle, these heavy cavalry did not know where the enemy was, so they lost their lives, and the money, manpower, and time required to train a heavy cavalry were very large, and the counts withdrew from the battle one after another, not wanting to waste their troops in this steppe.

The old khan also did not have such great ambitions, and gave up the pursuit of the Si army, preparing to settle in the steppe region, which displeased the few lords.

On the day of the old khan's death, he passed the position of the khan to Dastam, whose army was extremely brutal, and the statement that there were no prisoners in his troops, most of the people in the Kujit Khanate knew that they would be killed by the Si army in the plains, so the majority of the pacifists crowded out Dastam and installed Sega as the new khan.

Eleven years earlier, in 1246, Swadia had been in decline, and the Saiga Khan, who had been peaceful for decades, was preparing to launch an offensive against the Swadia army.

The war went well, and the Sri Lankan army spent a lot of military strength to recover the land occupied by the Nord, and in terms of numbers and morale, it was no match for the army of Saiga Khan. The Serbs marched westward, capturing almost all of the area around Dehrem, but because the front was too long, every one of their supplies was crucial, and a large group of horses of unknown origin robbed them of supplies, and divided into large and small forces to harass the Serb army, forcing the Serb army to abandon the area and return to the steppe.

In the city of Tulga, Saga Khan looks out over the bustling town.

"It's time to make a decision, my old friend, Dustam."
