In order to ensure the safety of his city, Leo, who is cautious by nature, can only leave the steady Anthony, and the deputy leader will lead a full champion swordsman and half a storm wing to protect the storm. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition, the elite is exhausted, he vows to use a war to completely pacify the entire northern territory, it is worth mentioning that the Knights of Punishment are all under the leadership of Finn and Keith this time, plus the 14 Noldor elves of the Dawning Knights, Leo played all the hole cards in his hand this time.

After a half-day march, the army was warmly entertained at Nuremberg by the Viscount of Leicester and Lord Tron, and after a grand banquet, the three groups of men and horses converged and officially embarked on the road to conquer the northern lands.

At present, Leo's army includes the following: 100 Knights of Punishment, 14 Knights of the Dawn, 600 Champion Swordsmen in 3 regiments, 300 in the 1 and a half regiments of Storm Wings, 50 Highland Swordsmen, in addition, Viscount Leicester brought 200 more elite regular soldiers and 50 archers, the Swan Knights expanded to 45 people under the leadership of Andrew, and Lord Tron only brought 30 champion swordsmen and more than 40 miscellaneous soldiers in the original soldiers due to the short time.

An army of nearly 1,500 people, such a large army will definitely test Leo's command ability very much, as the saying goes, there are thousands of good people, boundless, tens of thousands of people, through the sky, looking at the marching team can hardly see the edge, at this time he is also glad that fortunately with the assistance of Finn and Caiss, who are proficient in commanders, there are no unexpected mistakes and losses.

Another advantage is that in addition to Leicester and Lord Tron's armies who need to bring their own supplies, all the owners of Stormwind can directly receive food from Leo, which has virtually reduced a lot of burden in terms of logistics because of the existence of the system.

"Good day, sir." During the operation of the army, Lester and Tronzema came to Leo's side, unlike the viscount's acquaintance, the young Tron was somewhat cramped and shy when greeting, and in this era of strict class, Leo's identity made him feel a little nervous.

Taking off his helmet, Leo shook his wet hair and looked at the two with a smile, "Don't be too nervous, my friend, your father is an old man of noble character, you can be like a family, you don't have to be so restrained in front of me." After speaking, he looked at Lester and asked, "Is there anything you need to put down your army and explain to me in person?" My friend. ”

Lord Viscount nodded, his face was a little bad, he took a few steps closer to Leo and said, "Our spies have the latest news, this time we are probably not facing the enemy who first estimated the size of 5,000 people, and now the Duke of Orlando, who is almost crazy, has gathered more than 8,000 troops in White Moon City, which is not good news for us." ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Lester said with a bit of schadenfreude, "It is said that the nobles on the duke's side are having a hard time now, and they have to endure the increasingly irritable duke's anger every day, and it is said that two minor nobles have been deprived of their status by the duke and thrown into prison because they said a few wrong words. ”

"It doesn't matter, most of their armies are still composed of militia and poorly trained recruits, even if there are more such troops, it will be a matter of more time for us, I am only worried about one thing now, that is, the Duke Turtle retreats into White Moon City and does not fight with us......"

The more he thought about it, the more likely Leo called out to Finn, who was in charge of the march, "Dear Grand Master, my order has been issued, the army does not need to pay attention to any territory on the Duke's side that it passes along the way, as long as the defenders do not take the initiative to attack, we will pass quickly, I must rush to White Moon City as quickly as possible, otherwise the time will drag on for longer, and White Moon City will hoard more soldiers." ”

Looking at the back of Finn taking the order, Leo said to himself, "Let's hope things don't get to the worst......"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

There are also some disputes in the Duke's palace in White Moon City, and many lords who have experienced the last war and have a deep understanding of the elite of the Stormwind army are constantly persuading the Duke of Orlando who insists on going to war.

In their opinion, it is enough to teach them a lesson, for those armies that are different from the purely professional soldiers of this era, there is no advantage at all in numbers, but it will cause uncontrollable chaos in an unfavorable situation, so even if the army is larger this time, they have no confidence.

Under the strong opposition of the nobles, the duke had no choice but to leave the hall with a blue face, leaving behind a group of overwhelmed subordinates who looked at each other and left with a sigh.

Walking into the bedroom, looking at his wife, who was combing her hair in front of the dresser under the maid's service, the duke slammed his sword on the bed and waved rudely to signal the frightened maid to leave, and when he sat down, he gritted his teeth and sulked alone.

Seeing this, Amanda, who had long been accustomed to the duke's personality, had no choice but to put down the comb, gently moved barefoot to her husband's side, stretched out her smooth fingers and gently massaged his head, and asked with a "giggle" smile in her mouth, "What's wrong, dear?" And what kind of nobleman who doesn't open his eyes makes you so angry? ”

Stretched out his hand and hugged the stunner in front of him into his arms, and subconsciously stroked Amanda's smooth and round calves with his palm, the duke exhaled angrily, "What else can it be for, this group of timid pigs still disagree with my opinion, even if they lose their territory, they must stick to Baiyue City, they are just angry with me!" Have these bastards forgotten their dignity as nobles and were scared like this by that foreign hillbilly! ”

Quietly listening to the duke's venting, Amanda waited for his anger to become a little lesser, and then put away her usual habitual smile, jumped out of her husband's arms, and walked back and forth a few times on the thick woolen carpet with her bare feet, and then said cautiously, "Honey, don't be angry yet, in my opinion, I'm afraid your subordinates are right this time..."

Raising her hand and gently pressing her lips to refute the duke, Amanda explained in detail, "Please let me finish talking about my husband first, think about the last war, that Leo only had a few hundred soldiers and defeated us in the field at a small cost, and even half of his soldiers did not have much combat effectiveness. ”

Squinting her eyes, Amanda also had a hint of helplessness in her tone, "But this time? According to our news, he brought thousands of soldiers, just like those swordsmen last time, absolutely elite soldiers, and of course the terrifying knights, I have to say that although we are numerous, but the situation is even worse than the last time, do you want to rely on those stupid nobles to bring the farmers who have just laid down their hoes to fight against such an army in the field? Or are you going to deplete the Knights once again with countless gold coins? ”

"I have to admit, my dear, that we are no match for the outsider, at least not in terms of financial resources......" Returning to the Duke's arms, Amanda said earnestly.

"So what do I do? Is it only the suggestion of those stupid nobles to hide behind the strong walls of White Moon City cowardly? In that case, I would even lose my majesty and all my honor. The Duke of Orlando, who listened to it a little, was still a little unwilling.

Biting the duke's earlobe, Amanda understood that her husband's determination had been loosened, and whispered in her ear Youlan smiled and continued, "Honor? My dear, any history can only be written by the victors, and if you can win the war, who can, who will dare to accuse you of dishonor? You are still the brave duke who rules the northern realm, and only the dead have no right to speak! ”

Perhaps it was the last sentence that completely moved the Duke of Orlando, and he kissed his wife heavily on the cheek: "Okay dear, I trust your judgment, and I will go and tell them, presumably those cowards will be elated when they get the news!" Shaking his head in annoyance, the Duke said fiercely, "That foreign hillbilly will be under the strong walls of White Moon City, and his head will be broken and bleeding, I want to see how many elites he can exchange with me in the cruel siege!" With that, he got up and went back to the hall.

However, a white arm with warmth had wrapped around the duke's neck like a snake, and Amanda breathed a little quickly and sweetly from the tip of her nose, "Honey, don't leave in such a hurry, I ......"
