"The behemoth of the Holy See, it is almost impossible to defeat it from the front, their adherents are too wide, and any citizen may become their eyes and backing," Yazov was silent for a moment: "Although I don't want to admit it, the Capetian family today is not its opponent at all." ”

"But this situation will not last long, the sudden collapse of a towering tree often starts from within its roots, and now the Holy See has begun to decay, and it is no longer the terrifying Divine Court of a hundred years ago," the young leader said, "And what we have to do now is to unify the Ironflow Kingdom as quickly as possible while Iron Rock City drags on the Temple of Judgment." ”

"In the whole of Tieliu, the only ones who can barely stand up to Lord Duke Norrington and Archduke Para in the west," Yazov thought of the map he had read countless times, and an impulse surged in his heart.

The drastic changes in Tieyan City, the fall of the Void Ancestor, most of the forces of the temple are difficult to get out, unable to take care of the affairs in the Tieliu Kingdom, and even the troops stationed in the cities near the royal capital in the past have begun to gather in the royal city, for fear of changes.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the Capetian family will come out with their troops to defeat many warlords in the territory of Tieliu, and finally get the opportunity to fight the king's army in a decisive battle.

Then, the Capetian family would overthrow Cardin II's rule, and although it would be bloody and difficult, Yazov believed that the ultimate victor would be the Duke of Winton.

The banner of the Golden Lion family will once again fly above the castle of the royal capital, roaring towards the entire continent.

And he will follow Lord Ron and step into the highest center of power in the new kingdom.

"It won't be too long. The young leader pondered for a moment, "Have you noticed that Lord Ron has recently begun to coordinate his troops, requisitioning food and weapons? ”

"You mean, Lord Ron got some news?" Azov was stunned, "but the Command Office has not received any orders from the Imperial City. ”

"Don't you think that the messengers between Lindong City and the Imperial City have been coming and going a little frequently recently?" the young leader smiled, "And the First Legion, which has not been visible for a long time, has also begun to patrol the border. ”

All of this portends a fact.

War is coming.

......

The fortress of Pazon is a military fortress in the western province of Lang Dun, although its geographical location is not very important, its owner still has a strong army for it, but its defense is a bit rudimentary, there is no natural danger, there is no moat, and even the thickness of the city walls is not very satisfactory.

But for its duties, the rudimentary facilities were sufficient.

The fortress was not originally set up to defend against human cavalry, but was intended to defend against the infestation of the desert giants, who lived in the desolate lands were brutal and more powerful than the barbarians, and legend has it that the inhabitants of some places intermarried with the desert giants, and the offspring born were equally powerful.

Before human civilization set foot in this area, the desert giants were the masters of this field, but with the arrival of the Terran cavalry armed with spears and shields, the ownership of this territory slowly changed, and the original desert giants were captured and enslaved by humans, used as slaves and cannon fodder, and even in the fortress of Pazon, there was an army composed of desert giants.

The owner of the fortress, Duke Para, has been expanding since it was built, but the geology here is unexpectedly soft, and many buildings have collapsed after the construction is completed, and the devastated Duke Para finally realizes that it is unrealistic to build the fortress into a majestic city.

As the threat of the desert giants faded, the role of the fortress changed from defending against invasions to defending the rear base camp.

Since the situation in the Tieliu Kingdom has quietly changed, the Duke of Para also seems to realize something, he began to send troops and military supplies to the fortress, and the soldiers also realized that the fortress is not enough to protect it, and under the leadership of the officers, the road was blocked, and the city walls were repaired urgently.

Sooner or later, the war in the Ironflow Kingdom will start, and although Duke Para is not arrogant enough to defend himself against all enemies with a single Palson Fortress, at least it can act as a buffer and give the base camp time to react.

Led by the fortress's supreme commander, Governor Langton, the soldiers blocked all roads and waterways leading to the fortress and began to prepare for battle in a frenzy.

In the middle of the night, the sentinels in charge of the guard remained in a state of nervous vigilance, and countless fires were lit around the fortress, illuminating the night as if it were day, and no enemy could approach the fortress silently.

There was silence in the night sky, except for the beeping sound of burning wood, and the distant sky glowed with an unusual crimson that looked a little evil.

"Goo!"

"Stomp, stomp!"

"It's a change of guard!" someone shouted from the city wall, and then a group of soldiers came over to hand it over, "Did you find anything unusual?"

"Everything works!"

"The Rangers haven't come back yet?" the captain of the soldier in charge of the handover frowned, "At this time in the past, they should have returned a long time ago!"

"Maybe it's been a little tense lately, and they're scouting a little farther away. ”

"I haven't been notified, if the Rangers change their patrol route, they need to report to the Military Command," the Soldier Captain felt that something was wrong, generally speaking, the Rangers in charge of reconnaissance would not easily change their patrol time and route, and even if they did, they would notify the soldiers guarding the city gates.

"In the past, even if there was a deviation in time, it would not have been so long. The captain of the soldiers glanced at the hourglass that had been placed on the top of the city, and it had been more than fifteen minutes.

This does not bode well......

Just as the captain of the soldiers was worried, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, from far to near.

"It's supposed to be the Ranger back. The sentry saw the shadow of a black cavalry at the end of the road, rapidly approaching, but soon, his face changed.

"That's not our Rangers!" the sentry screamed, pointing to the cavalry at the end of the road, his mind blank, "That's the Black Cavalry of the Capetian family!"

"Hum!" the captain felt as if his brain had been struck with a brass hammer, and he felt dizzy, and a great sense of fear filled his body and mind, and he climbed to the top of the city and cast his eyes on the end of the road.

The dark cavalry ranks, the tail in sight.

It's like a grim reaper crawling out of hell.
