Chapter 18: Counseling, Attacking, Attacking

"It seems that the shape shì is really very serious." Moriarty frowned.

A squad of the Lord's family was attacked and wiped out, and a knight was taken captive, which was a great event for Kent. If you don't do enough, try to get back the captured Fox. The Luoyan Tower will not only make the nobles of the county lose face and have no place to live, but may even shake the hearts and minds of the people and the ruling order in Kent.

"What happened to Sir Royanta himself?"

"Is he hurt?"

Immediately after, someone asked again.

"We don't know this qiē for the time being." Viscount Salk shook his head and said, "However, we must prepare for the worst before we catch those thieves. ”

"Lord Viscount, I will immediately send troops to rescue Viscount Luo Yanta and eliminate this group of evil thieves." At this time, Lord Crete said loudly. Both in public and private, Lord Crete was eager to unite the forces of many nobles to find and kill the thieves.

"What do you think?" Viscount Salk glanced at him, then turned his gaze back to the others.

"Send troops, Viscount!"

"We must ensure the stability of Kent!"

"We can't sit back and wait for an attack!"

In the meeting room, the nobles expressed their opinions, and their opinions were quite unanimous, that is, they must organize armed forces to eliminate this gang of thieves who have infiltrated the county.

"What do you think, Sir Ensberg?" At this time, Viscount Salk retracted his gaze and turned his attention back to Moriarty.

As a representative of the Ensberg family, Moriarty's attitude will largely determine the outcome of the army. And since then, Moriarty has not clearly expressed any attitude or inclination. And, the captive Fox. There is no doubt that Royanta is extremely incompatible with Moriarty, and even the entire Royanta family is not much of an ally or partner to the Ensberg family. Therefore, what kind of statement Moriarty would make on behalf of the Ensberg family, most of the nobles in the conference room really couldn't say.

"First of all, I deeply regret and apologize for the attack on Sir Royanta and his capture. If it weren't for the previous horse racing that made Jazz unwell and had to leave Windsor Castle halfway, I don't think this tragedy would have happened. Moriarty pondered for a moment and said.

"It's not your fault, kid." The old man nodded, and continued to look into Moriarty's eyes.

"Thank you, Viscount. But in any case, I am responsible for this. Moriarty shook his head lightly and said, "So, I ask the Viscount to let me and my guards join in, and send troops to the Valley of Guillotine overnight to carry out search and rescue. ”

"Well, that's good, Moriarty!" Viscount Salk finally laughed, his eyes full of appreciation.

In fact, of all the people here, Viscount Salk was the most thorough main battle faction.

First, for the sake of the duty of the viscount and the dignity of the lord, the old man had to arrest all the criminals with his own hands and hang them one by one on the gallows;

Second, the thieves had just entered Kent, and immediately came to the area near Windsor Castle to commit such a big crime, which had already posed a serious threat to the Salk family;

Thirdly, as a mid-level top warrior and an eighth-level knight, Viscount Salk's way of dealing with his enemies has always been direct and ruthless.

And now, Moriarty is very willing to say that the Ensberg family is willing to join forces, and more "considerately" proposes to build a night attack, which makes the old man very useful.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the name of the Viscount, I now ask the nobles of Kent to unite and destroy this evil gang of thieves. In the meantime, I hope that you will cooperate with my actions and do your best to rescue Sir Royanta. Viscount Salk stepped forward and said loudly. …,

"Yes, Viscount, the House of Crete is at your command. My guard will follow you and set off immediately. Predictably, Lord Crete was the first to respond loudly to the viscount's declaration of bell.

"The Herin family agrees to send troops!"

"The Bidianlu family is waiting for your call!"

"The Rosser family is willing to send troops!"

……

For a while, there was a storm in the conference hall, and a strong atmosphere of war instantly boiled.

"Good!" Seeing that all the nobles present had agreed to fight, Sir Salk's eyes lit up: "Then, please prepare your own at once." The soldiers are so fast, and we don't have time to summon more soldiers. I have decided to form a coalition with the guards of all of you present. Half an hour later, we will depart for the Valley of Guillotine. ”

"Yes, Viscount."

Now that the war has officially begun, Viscount Salk in front of him is the natural commander. Therefore, the nobles immediately agreed sternly.

"Viscount, I mention that I will also inform Viscount Maclelen as much as possible, and ask him to also send corresponding soldiers to cooperate with our actions." Moriarty thought for a moment and said, "In addition, immediately notify all the villages in the county to clear the walls and organize peasant soldiers to deal with the possible attack of the thieves. ”

"Well, you're quite right." Viscount Salk nodded and agreed with Moriarty's suggestion.

Despite the contradictions with the Maclelen family, in the face of foreign enemies, Viscount Salk does not have too many taboos, and the alliances and reminders that should be done must still be done. Moreover, the Kent Allied Army under Salk's leadership is about to set off, and even if McLelan arrives with troops later, he will never be able to challenge Salk's commandership again.

With the order to go to war, the nobles left the chamber and gathered their soldiers to prepare for departure.

Of course, the ball at Windsor Castle could not continue. The ladies and ladies were half-coaxed and half-deceived to return to their rooms, while the noble men gathered around their heads and lords.

Half an hour later, the heavy iron gates of Windsor Castle were slowly pulled up with a piercing "click", and then the drawbridge was lowered with a "bang", and a group of riders with torches sped out of the castle gates.

"Miss, put on your cloak, it's too cold at night."

On a terrace high up in Windsor Castle, Martiel stood silent as she leaned on the railing and watched the light fade rapidly in the distance. Behind her, the maid stepped forward cautiously and draped a delicate cloak over the girl's shoulders.

"Have you all gone back to your room to sleep?" Carefully wrapped in a warm cloak, Matiel sighed softly and turned around to ask.

"Not yet, they are still gathered in the lily hall, all worried." The maid replied.

"yes." Martir nodded.

Despite the deliberate attempt to block the news, the news of the attack and capture of Sir Royanta and the overnight rescue of Kent nobles continued to spread throughout Windsor Castle like wildfire in a short period of time. Fortunately, Viscount Salk had already given the order to temporarily close the castle to prevent the news from spreading and causing further panic. But this is only a temporary and extraordinary move, and Windsor Castle cannot keep its doors closed for long. Therefore, the nobles must race against time to find and catch the vicious thieves in order to minimize their losses. However, in the dark of night, the opponent was a cunning thief, and even though the noble alliance had a considerable advantage in strength, Matil was still worried.

"Let's go, go to the Lily Hall. Now, what we need is composure and waiting. ”

As if to tell the maid, and as if to say to herself, Matiel tightened her cloak and walked briskly back to the castle.

At the same time, the coalition of nobles was moving further and further away from Windsor Castle. …,

The aristocratic armaments that set off this time were all on horseback, and of course less than half of them were real cavalry.

Looking at the entire coalition army, there were about one hundred and fifty ordinary soldiers, sixty low-ranking soldiers, and eight middle-ranking soldiers. Of course, this is certainly not the full military power of Kent. However, the nobles no longer had time to calmly gather their respective family arms.

When marching at night, it is most taboo to be scattered and disorderly.

Therefore, at the beginning of the departure, Viscount Salk made arrangements for the entire coalition army column.

The vanguard was played by Lord Ruther and his fifteen cavalrymen. The Rosser family is not a powerful family in Kent, but it is a long-established knightly family known for its systematic and solid tradition of knightly education. Therefore, for this point of Viscount Salk, both Lord Rosser himself and other nobles were deeply satisfied.

The guard of the queue was handed over to Lord Herring. The Herreen family has always been unrenowned, but Lord Herreen himself has always been cautious and careful, thinking that he can provide sufficient vigilance for the "back" of the coalition army.

The rest of the noble soldiers accompanied Viscount Salk's Chinese army. Moriarty, in particular, was ordered by the old man to keep up with him.

"Sir, five kilometers ahead, is the Valley of the Deadheads." The Hamilton knight continued to perform his duties strictly, guarding Moriarty's side closely. The other nineteen family swordsmen also rode around Moriarty, ready to intercept any possible attack.

"Yes." At this time, Moriarty had also changed into a sturdy leather armor. Although as a mage apprentice, it seems that he should be more dressed in mage robes, but unfortunately there is no such equipment in Windsor Castle: "What kind of terrain is nearby?" ”

"It's hills, sir." Hamilton didn't think about it and immediately replied.

"It looks like these thieves really picked a pretty good crime scene." Moriarty smiled silently.

Because of its location in a valley and hills, it is conceivable that the team of the Luo Yanta family was not only unable to resist when attacked, but even had a very difficult time escaping.

"Sue Lord Rosser, slow down and move forward." At this time, Viscount Salk on the other side ordered. After driving the road in the middle of the night, they finally approached the Valley of the Guillotine, and the experienced commander slowed down the pace of the team and rallied to prepare for the battle that might take place.

"Yes!" Immediately, a cavalry galloped out of the ranks and hurried forward to the forward forward array.

Because of the large number of personnel in the aristocratic alliance, it is impossible to hide traces, so there is no need to play any tricks such as concealment and sneak attacks. Therefore, when he actually came to the Valley of the Guillotine, Viscount Salk had already ordered all the warriors to light the torches in their hands.

When fighting thieves, it is far more advantageous to be in the light than in the dark.
