readx;? The men of the Judge Advocate General's Office, who had gone to arrest Bols with the Emperor's decree, were camped and rested in a wooded area two hundred miles from Lua when they were attacked by horse bandits, leaving no bones behind. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Following Bols on the grounds that Higg XIII was bewitched by the traitors around him, grovelled to the Holy See, wagged his tail and begged, betrayed the creed of the Higg family and the dignity of the Higg Empire, ignored the glory of the Higg Eagle and the great general Gracis and tens of thousands of heroic souls who died on the battlefield, made his ancestors shameless, and disgraced the people, he decided to proclaim himself the governor of the eastern part of the empire, oversee the military and political affairs in the eastern part of the empire, and lead the military and civilians in the eastern part of the empire to form a resistance army to expel the Holy See. Fight in the name of cleaning up the monarch's side, and return the Hig Empire to a wise and martial emperor, a clear and powerful regime.

As soon as this news came out, it quickly spread throughout the entire Hig Empire, and the whole country was shocked and inexplicable.

Hearing the news, Busman Roland was furious, and in a fit of rage, he ignored the dissuasion of his ministers and immediately ordered the military headquarters to carry out a time-limited crusade against the Bols rebels, so the Higg army, which had just been devastated by the Bauhinia War, had to embark on the road of civil war. The situation in Hig, which had just calmed down, fell into a new round of chaos.

When the military department sent the emperor's will and the order to send troops to the hands of the great swordsman Geraint, Geraint couldn't help but secretly cry out with the holy decree.

Since the Knights Templar withdrew after the baptismal ceremony, the defense of Baden City returned to the hands of the Higg Empire, so the starting point of this crusade against the rebels led by Bols fell on Baden.

In the final battle of the Baden City offensive and defensive battle against the invasion of the Holy See last year, the imperial general, the great swordsman Geraint, commanded calmly, and at the moment of the city's breakdown, he was not afraid of danger, led the soldiers to retreat while resisting, and successfully retained a large number of living forces, so it was also recognized by the military bosses. After the Knights Templar retreated from Baden, since General Pols, who had been stationed in Baden, had fled to Lua with his army, the military headquarters ordered General Geraint to return to Baden with the reorganized defeated army and take over the garrison of Baden.

This is the second time that General Gerante has led his troops into Baden, but the feeling is completely different, the first feeling is that the last time he led a group of high-morale tiger and wolf divisions, this time it was a somewhat disgraced defeated army, although it was said that it had been reorganized, but the surrender of the empire to the Holy See still hit the morale of the soldiers. And the other feeling is that the last time I entered the city, although the big war was coming, the city was full of life, the streets were in a hurry, both the soldiers and the citizens were preparing for the next big war, and they were full of confidence, but this time the city was devastated after the Holy See army ravaged not to mention, even the people walking on the street could not see a trace of anger on their faces, only a few noble senators in the city greeted them at the gate of the city, but as soon as they met, they knelt down in front of General Geraint and wept bitterly, telling the tragic experience of the residents who did not retreat after the fall of Baden。

Some of the troops led by General Geraint this time were also residents of Baden, and now their eyes were red when they saw the disaster that had befallen their hometown and family, and if the Knights Templar were still here, General Geraint would have no doubt that there would be another bloody battle here.

After a period of pacification, both the inhabitants and the army are in a better state, now that the wood is in the boat, and the empire is now kneeling under the seat of the god of light, what kind of storm can these powerless ordinary people set off.

Just when General Geraint finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to negotiate with the governor of Baden about the reconstruction of the city's armaments, His Majesty Busman Roland's rebellious will arrived. Holding this edict of extremely harsh wording to surrender the enemy's head within a time limit, General Geraint couldn't help but smile bitterly:

At present, the morale of these soldiers under his command, coupled with the fact that the other party is mourning soldiers will win, it is simply a humiliation for himself to rush over now, but the holy will is difficult to violate, and looking at the meaning of the holy decree, I am afraid that at this time, Busman Roland is angry and eager to eat Bols alive, so if he does not follow the order, I am afraid that he will be the first to become a punching bag, and his family is enjoying the joy of family in Triumph City at this time.

Therefore, Geraint gave the order, and after the 20,000-strong army was assembled in a few days, and the armament and logistics were ready, he set out in full gear and set out on the road to the city of Lua in high spirits.

Bols is also clear about the morale and state of the current Higg army, so instead of waiting for the opponent to attack, it is better to take the initiative and take the enemy by surprise. So he learned from the experience of being ambushed by the Knights Templar last time, and directly led the cavalry to kill outside the canyon where he had been ambushed, and waited for the enemy to fall into a trap step by step.

Although Geraint had rich experience in military command, he never dreamed that Bols not only did not rely on Lua City to wait for work, but led his troops back to kill, but was caught off guard outside the canyon, and the entire marching procession formed a long line was cut off at the cavalry of Bols in the canyon. Then the archmage Amaar placed a large wall of fire spell in the narrow valley, and the raging flames that were several meters high completely stopped the army behind the canyon.

On the other side of the canyon, it turned into a crushing battle, and the morale of the more than 7,000 soldiers who had already crossed the canyon under the onslaught of the indignant and high-spirited cavalry led by Bols soon broke down in morale and fled in all directions. The rebels pursued and killed more than 1,000 people, captured more than 4,000 people, and escaped 2,000 people everywhere.

Bols, who had won the first battle, did not love to fight, and took the captives and turned his horse's head with the booty and returned triumphantly, leaving General Geraint, who was still gathering the remnants of his army near the gorge and counting the losses, sighing and crying without tears.

The news of the defeat in the first battle was transmitted back to Triumph City, and Higg XIII, who heard the news of the defeat, was furious, and he did not hesitate to change his generals, and the removed general Geraint returned to Beijing with a sigh of relief and asked for punishment, and the new general was not as good as Geraint in command experience, just a self-righteous nobleman who had read a few military books and talked about soldiers on paper, and he was reorganized, and then waited for reinforcements from other towns, a total of 25,000 men and horses, and rushed to Lua City to kill.

It's just that the march along the way was quite smooth, and when he arrived at the foot of Lua, Bols was unusual, did not take the initiative to attack, the city gate was closed, and the city defense was tightened. Higg's army tried to attack several times, but although Lua City was not as easy to defend and difficult to attack as Baden City, it was also a high wall and deep ditch, and all the attacks of Higg's army were repulsed, and the morale of the already low morale fell to the bottom.
