Chapter 18: Change

"It hurts! Hurt! It hurts" Zhang Hao didn't know how long he had been sleeping, and he was finally woken up by the pain.

"Relieved, Your Highness?"

"Assi, my chest hurts so much" Zhang Hao covered his chest and sat up slowly, "Where's Thein?" ”

Osseth was silent for a moment "Taken away His Highness, we're late"

Zhang Hao knocked down the bedpost fiercely, wanting to vent, but in the end he could only turn into a sigh, Zhang Hao, who was still a rookie with the Sun Throne, felt powerless, and he couldn't move a chair anywhere, even if there was a chair, there must be a Sun Knights.

"Has Sain's wife been found?" Tarabek already knew that Thane was wrong, just take the recent one, when Thane repurchased horses for the Knights of the Sun, he didn't pick other places to pick the barracks for compulsory purchase, deliberately increasing the garrison's resentment against the Knights of the Moon, and after the discussion between Ossaith and Feuerbach, it was decided to let Zhang Hao take the initiative to attack, just to let Cern leak some horses, but he didn't expect the other party to be such a big plan.

Orseth didn't seem to hear Zhang Hao's inquiry, and bowed his head in silence.

"I see, let's go down"

"Your Highness, the lord is waiting for you in the lord's mansion, the recent situation is very bad!"

"I'll go, how many days did I sleep?"

"Three days, Your Highness"

"Damn, it's really a delay" Zhang Hao pulled a piece of clothing and ran out, "Osses, borrow your horse!" ”

Zhang Hao did do a shameful thing in Feuerbach's room before going to Beagle Village again, Zhang Hao changed his clothes in front of Feuerbach, the Deceitful Armor (rare), the Deceitful Talisman (rare), the two seemingly tattered pieces of equipment were made by the top Gray Mage and the Jade Mage (Life), the talisman is attached to Life Bloom, Regeneration and Petrified Skin Technique, and the armor is attached to the Illusion of Nothingness, Breath Nothingness and Dispelling Technique. The two were activated together, creating a state of Zhang Hao's suspended animation, and the black magic attached to Isabella's sword was also dispelled, it seems that the mages who made this equipment are very powerful, and the black magic is not something that anyone can dispel with dispel, but unfortunately both are one-time equipment.

"Your Highness, you're here."

Zhang Hao hurried to the City Lord's Mansion, "What is the situation now, I came all the way and saw that the number of patrols in the city has increased a lot"

"Your Highness, the situation is very critical now, they have already begun to move, the imperial city has been besieged, Glenborg has fallen again, Essen has also been broken by vampires, two full legions have appeared in the direction of Hedjig, one is the province of Hawk and the other is the province of Oster, their envoy's request to attack the vampire territory from our province has been rejected by me."

"Glenberg? How is it possible, where did the rebels get so many troops? "Zhang Hao basically put his escort team in Glenberg, and there are elite troops like Roald's sword, if the rebels attack Glenburg, Karl will definitely send troops, if the rebels attack Aldolph, the direction of Glendborg will attack from the rear, this is the tactic that Zhang Hao and Carl discussed before coming.

"It's Skarsnik, Your Highness, according to the time when the news came from the important town of Copebad in our province, the time of the Evil Moon and the rebel attack is the same, then it can be basically concluded that Sein had already rebelled at that time, and the time he went all the way to Rick Province for four months was enough for him to contact anyone he wanted to contact, and now there are at least two full formations around Aldolphe, I just don't know how many casualties Your Highness your personal guard has caused to Evil Moon, but I believe that the army in front of Aldolph will only be more and not less."

"How many people can we carry on a boat?"

"Your Highness, you don't have to think about river transportation, with the planning of the Middenheim side for so long, how could you let us take the river transportation, on the morning of the second day of the attack on you, all the merchant ships of Middenheim were broken down on the river transportation, and the ship could not be towed back without a month."

"This Nima, I still underestimate them, I want to usurp power, I don't dare to go to Liangshan without any real skills."

"Your Highness, where is Liangshan?"

"Don't care about these details, this has been said for a long time, and there is no good news?" Zhang Hao sat on the chair a little decadently, and the feeling of powerlessness had already made Zhang Hao's mood fall into a trough.

"Your Highness, I have gathered all the cavalry and horses outside the city, and ordered the garrison of Kopebad to prepare supplies through the magic crystal, and the whole province has also issued a corps call-up order, and now the only hope is you, Your Highness"

"How?"

"The border legions in the direction of Essen can't be transferred back, and the defenders of Tarabhaim don't dare to transfer away, in their eyes, Your Highness, you have been killed by vampires, and now the other party has laid out and pinned down all our legions and generals. And now the only ones who can quickly support Aldolf are the cavalry and the defenders in front of Kortbad, fortunately, my Talabek province has always been a cavalry province, and there are many horses in the surrounding villages, although they are not as good as war horses, but it is not bad to let the army hurry, but now there is still a lack of a general who can lead the troops to fight, Your Highness"

After listening to Feuerbach's report, Zhang Hao's originally somewhat dim eyes gradually returned to their original brilliance.

"In addition to the nine hundred Sun Knights, how many cavalry do we have to mobilize?"

"The city defense, the garrison and retired veterans and recruits, all of them add up to a half, the Imperial Cavalry Fourteen Corps, eight hundred and forty people, the Pioneer Knights six teams, two hundred and forty people, the Pistol Cavalry Eight Corps, four hundred and twenty people, plus Your Highness Your Sun Knights, we can now mobilize two thousand four hundred cavalry, each with three horses, day and night, to Cottbard, where the defenders still have some mortars (large mortars), Your Highness, I believe that if you take them by surprise, you will definitely be able to catch them off guard"

"Feuerbach, what did you do under the Emperor?"

"Heh, Your Highness, I'm just the vanguard officer of the first emperor, and I've fought a lot, so I naturally understand a little bit."

Can a pioneer officer also be a lord? Forget it, anyway, Feuerbach is on his side now, and I'll ask in detail when Carl is saved.

"When can we go?"

"It will take some time for the horses to be gathered, Your Highness, you can only go out overnight."

"Well, Feuerbach, you must defend this province of Talabek!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will wait for your victorious return." The throne of the sun and the throne of the emperor were separated for the first time since the establishment of the empire, and no one could see what the future would be.

After Zhang Hao left, Feuerbach still felt uneasy, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to send the last intermediate light mage in Talabek Province to Zhang Hao, hoping that Zhang Hao could come back alive, after all, no matter how strong the Sun Throne was, it was not invincible.

——————

At this time, in addition to the Imperial City of Aldolf, the rest of the cities in Rick Province fell into the hands of the rebels again, and Glenburg became a ruin, the goblins would not be polite to humans, they were affected by the green-skinned orcs, murderous, no humanity at all, only interests can drive them, Skarsnik completely destroyed the entire Glenburg according to intelligence, and those who could be taken away were pulled to be used as hard laborers, building cities, and those that could not be taken away were directly killed and dried to make food, and the entire city was burned down by a fire, and only a small number of people fled to Coppebad. Skarsnick didn't go to the siege of Aldolph this time, according to the plan, he only had to ambush between Glenberg and Kopebard to prevent anyone from penetrating the rear of the siege army, and Kopebad and Aldolph were separated by a small branch of the Rick River in front of them, and it was impossible to sneak attack. According to the deal, after Aldolph was taken, Kopebad was the final payment given by the rebels to Evil Moon, while Glenberg was the deposit given in advance.
