The country has come to an end, and the court astrologer has prophesied about the fate of the kingdom of Pole

I could not help but send troops to the king of the kingdom of Pole, Valivy XI, who resolutely rejected the advice of his ministers, as a king should be faithful, the elves helped my great-grandfather defend our country a hundred years ago, and now it is their turn to be in trouble, and if we do not fulfill our promise, there will be no one to help us in the future

On April 30, 1675, King Valivy XI of Pole signed the secret order of Star Dawn and Burning Heart, two of the four main legions of the secret kingdom, to enter the elven forest to fight orcs and vampires, and the next day there was no impassioned oath mobilization and no farewell ceremony of flowers, and the two legions quietly left the station under the leadership of two royal knights

The information about the secret transfer of troops in the Pole Kingdom was transmitted to the Pope as soon as possible, hum, after seeing the report, there was a gloomy sneer from the Pope behind the silver mask, this was a golden opportunity, he and his predecessor waited for 100 years, and the two orders were sent to the archbishop of the Diocese of the Fayele Empire and the Kingdom of St. Auluffy, and after writing a few words on the two parchments, the Pope summoned the priests......

In the regular military establishment of the Holy Light Sect countries, taking the army as an example, it is divided into five levels, namely: corps, squadrons, squads, detachments, and squads, and the lowest level of squads is generally composed of 6 people, which is the most basic combat establishment; above the squads is a detachment, a detachment is composed of three squads, plus the chief and deputy detachment leaders, there are a total of 26 people; three detachments are organized into a squad, with a total of about 80-90 people; three squads are organized into a squadron, plus the priests and logistics troops directly under the squadron, and a squadron has about 300 people; And above the squadron is the highest level of the legion, each legion has its own special title, different from other levels of formation, there is no hard and fast rule on how many squadrons each legion has, usually about 5-10 squadrons, the smallest corps has three squadrons, the largest corps is the dark blue spear infantry regiment of the Rocard Empire, with as many as 18 squadrons, and some other guard troops, naval and air units, although slightly different, but generally still follow this model

Among the two legions that the Pole Kingdom sent to reinforce the Elven Clan this time, the Star Dawn has 5 squadrons, the Burning Heart has 7 squadrons, with a total strength of 3,700 people, accounting for two-fifths of the four main legions, and the armed forces of the Bole Kingdom in the whole country, of which the four main legions have 9,500 people, and the others are a small navy, air force, and miscellaneous armies of various lords, with a total of 270,000 people, in addition to the affiliated principalities, houguo, The city-state can also provide up to 5,500 combat troops, in terms of strength, the Bole Kingdom is a country with a relatively large number of troops among the 12 major countries of the Holy Light Cult, but the kingdom can still rely on the four main legions of less than 10,000 people, in fact, this time the two major legions were transferred to the country, King Valivy XI was not very sure, because the silver lily was the royal guard legion, responsible for guarding the capital and the palace, and the steppe wind was responsible for guarding the northern border, the position of the Yale Empire was very important, and only the strength of the two legions was slightly inferior to the above-mentioned two legions, Dawn of the Stars and Burning Heart

What if the Fayele Empire takes the opportunity to attack our country during this time, not only do we not have enough troops to defend ourselves, but it is impossible to get the assistance of the forest elves as they did 100 years ago, and they are now unable to protect themselves, this is the main reason why most ministers oppose the aid to the elven republic, and the king does not know in his heart, but it is his creed as a king, since March 15, when the elven consul Ayig Morrowind sent him a letter for help, the king has been engaged in a complex psychological struggle in his heart for the past few days, fortunately, the prime minister Penderonda has always been on the king's side, and firmly supports the dispatch of troops

Prime Minister Pan Alonda had a discussion with his ministers, and he put forward three major arguments that troops should be sent:

First, after 100 years of recuperation, the national strength and military strength of the Pole Kingdom have been greatly improved, the current Pole Kingdom has enough strategic reserves, has established a multi-arms mixed complete army, no longer as before, the army is almost all light cavalry, and 100 years ago, the Pole Kingdom only had one royal knight (and died in battle), but now it has four royal knights, and now the strength of the Pole Kingdom is no longer what it used to be, and it is no longer the poor and weak country 100 years ago

second It's not that the Elven Elders' House doesn't have enough strength to deal with the invading orc army and vampires, it's just because they just happened to encounter the green dragon breeding period once every 300 years, and they can't get the assistance of the green dragon, and now the forest elves seem to be a little wolf, they are fully capable of expelling all the invaders, but it will take some days, and the longer it drags on, the more severe the damage to the forest will be, which is unacceptable to the elves, so they will propose to borrow troops from the Bole Kingdom to end the battle as quickly as possible, and minimize the damage to the forest from the war, so the soldiers sent by the kingdom do not need to be prepared for a tough battle, it is just a statement to fulfill their promises, and the task of the military commander of the army is to be sufficientCombat to a limited extent on the premise of retaining troops to fight

Third, the old emperor of the Fayale Empire has been lying in a hospital bed for many years, and now he is seriously ill, and his sons are busy fighting for power, so how can they care about the invasion of the Bole Kingdom

The prime minister is worthy of being the first eloquent in the kingdom, and the ministers who oppose sending troops are speechless, which strengthens the king's determination to send troops, and the prime minister also did one thing, so that the king has completely eaten a reassuring pill, I don't know what method was used, the prime minister invited the number one void mercenary group on the brilliant continent to assist the kingdom in defending the capital, this mercenary group's reputation is resounding all over the three continents, they can even defeat the regular legions of some countries, with the reinforcements of this army, the kingdom's defense is stronger

However, the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an anthill, and even the most impregnable fortress will be the first to fall inside

On the 9th of May, the two reinforcements had been on the road for more than a week, and this morning news came from the front that they had entered the realm of the elves four days earlier, and had two encounters with the orcs, with minor losses

Royal Knight: Duke John Duncan led his two subordinates to ride towards the Void Mercenary Regiment outside the city, the Royal Knight, the Paladin, and the Golden Dragon Knight are the highest level among the human knights, in terms of strength, the three knights have the same level, they all have the same strong strength, the difference is that the Golden Dragon Knights, due to the special circumstances, their number is extremely rare; The largest number is the royal knights, they are loyal to the royal family of their country, in each of the twelve great countries of the Holy Light Cult has a different number of royal knights, the Kingdom of Bole now has four royal knights, but 100 years ago, the kingdom due to the weakness of the country, for a long time only has one royal knight, which is extremely incommensurate with the territory and population they control, in the history of the kingdom for more than a thousand years, there is a family, each generation provides a royal knight for the kingdom, this is the Duncan family known as the lion of Poehler, 100 years ago, in the border war, John Duncan's great-grandfather, also James Duncan, who was also a royal knight, fell into the three royal knights of the Fayele EmpireIn the final death of the wheel war, so the loyalty of the Duncan family, everyone in the kingdom is also proud of this, so although there are already four royal knights, the Duncan family still occupies an incomparable high position in the political territory of Poehler, and now John is just in his early 30s, and has become the strongest of the four main legions of the kingdom, responsible for guarding the capital Hansha City and the royal palace, the captain of the silver lily

John Duncan adheres to the rules of knighthood, and he has a persistent adherence to his duties, and these days he has always felt that the atmosphere in Hansar City is a little abnormal, and the sheriff has reported that there have been more and more strangers in the city lately, and they have been appearing more in taverns, The sheriff speculated that the war between the orcs and the forest elves attracted many people and do-gooders who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the adventure, and Hansand City was the only way to get to the elven forest, and John Duncan had reservations about this speculation: first, the elves were disgusted that some people walked their forests at will in order to satisfy their curiosity, and many people suffered greatly because of this; Second, this anomaly only appeared after the Void Mercenary Group came to camp outside the city, according to the rules of the mainland, the mercenary group was in charge of the reception since the mercenary group was in charge of the mission given by the mercenary master, with the consent of the employer and the commander of the mercenary group, and the ordinary soldiers in the regiment were not allowed to leave their station, and the Void Mercenary Regiment was famous for its strong combat effectiveness in addition to its steely discipline, and since the mercenary group came, it has been responsible for reception, Prime Minister Pan Alonda was responsible for placing and liaising with the mercenaries, and John Duncan, the commander of the capital's defense forces, was left out, and he hadn't even seen the commander of the mercenary group until now

Taken together, he felt that things were getting weirder and weirder, and Hansha City seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere, so he had to visit the mercenary group's headquarters in person tonight to clear up his doubts

Before he knew it, John Duncan and two of his men had arrived at the city gates

Who told you to close the gate so early, although it was getting late, but usually at this time the city gate was still full of traffic, and John Duncan thought it strange and immediately asked the soldiers guarding the city gate

Report to the Legion Commander, Your Excellency, the leader of the squad guarding the city gates, and hurriedly saluted their commander, and two minutes ago we caught a spy from the Fayale Empire

What the Fayale spy brought him out at once, I will immediately interrogate him, and after obtaining this information, John Duncan and his two men immediately turned over and dismounted

The leader of the squad immediately waved his hand and motioned for the two soldiers to bring out a black-robed man who was chained behind him, and the soldiers pressed him to his knees in front of John Duncan

John Duncan looked down at the man and said, "Raise your head, and you must answer everything I ask you."

The black-robed man slowly raised his head, only to see that he was a thin man in his 30s, and there was no trace of horror on his face, but a strange look with mockery - John's heart was cold, but before he could react, the black-robed man's right hand, which was originally locked behind his back, suddenly pulled out, and stabbed at John with a silver light, the speed was staggering, even ordinary legion knights might not be able to dodge

However, John Duncan was a royal knight after all, and the fatal blow was dodged by him, but in an instant, he felt a tingling pain in his back, and then he realized that the squad leader of the gatekeeper had pierced a dagger through the thin ceremonial leather into his shoulder, and John turned around and kicked the squad leader out fiercely, while John's men also subdued the two soldiers who attacked them in an instant

Come out, with a command, more than 30 people rushed out of the huts around the city gate, and surrounded the three of John, the weapons they held were standard short swords, sabers, spears, and bows and crossbows, and the bright weapons were aimed at John, and they emitted a cold cold light, these people were obviously trained by the regular army, and their movements were neat and consistent

At this time, John noticed that the person who had just given the command was the black-robed man, who was holding in his hand the silver item that had just attacked John: a saber studded with white gems, only to see the black-robed man swing the saber and give a second order to the people around him: kill them

Damn, this is a conspiracy, and the royal knight John Duncan thought hatefully.
