At the junction of the kingdom of Adonis and the kingdom of Andris, there is a brightly clad and imposing army rolling forward at this moment, as the saying goes: There are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary. And this army, which was marching in columns, was like a giant dragon winding on the ground, which made people feel awe-inspired.

Judging by the banner with a golden full moon embroidered on a blue background, this army is the army of the Kingdom of Adonis.

Suddenly, a dusty knight drove his horse down a long queue to a gilded and silver chariot at the front of the procession.

The guards who were guarding the chariot quickly stopped him.

"Let him come!"

James Cliff, the current king of the Kingdom of Adonis, with his sword in his hands and armor in full armor, sat firmly on the chariot, said majestically.

When the guards heard this, they immediately let them go.

The knight, a horseman, came to the king's chariot and did not dismount and bow, but turned his horse and followed the procession, and at the same time put his hand on his breast, and saluted his horse.

"That's it!" King James waved his hand and said impatiently, "Where's the Marquis of Cornell?" What's going on ahead? ”

This knight was sent back by the forward general, Marquis de Cornell, to inform him of the battle ahead.

"Returning to my king, the Marquis of Cornell has crushed the last resistance of the Andris border guards, Lorraine Fort has fallen, and the vanguard has now reached the Anitan River." The herald replied respectfully.

"Haha, haha, ahhahahahahaha!" Hearing this, King James burst out laughing, "How capable I am of Charlie's unbeliever, and that's how much I do!" ”

A meticulous old man beside him, who was also sitting on the chariot, wearing a bright yellow robe, holding the Bible of the Creation God Cult, the Holy Book of Creation, and the short gray and white hair, frowned, and said, "James, will there be any traps?" ”

King James glanced at the yellow-clothed archbishop of his country, and pouted slightly in a slightly unhappy way: "Archbishop Eden, you don't have to look too highly at Charlie. In my opinion, he is a conspirator, and his ability to instigate a coup d'état is not small, but his ability to fight a war is not necessarily high. ”

Archbishop Eden moved his mouth and tried to say something more, but was interrupted by James.

"I know you mean to talk about the battle on the outskirts of Kevin, but we all know that at that time, the tens of thousands of Holy See troops outside the city were already leaderless, and in the face of such a chaotic army, any king in the Western Continent had the ability to defeat it, and it was not a record at all."

However, apparently Archbishop Eden was not convinced by him, and Archbishop Eden asked the preacher, "Is there anything unusual at the scene?" ”

The rider thought for a moment and said, "The farmers and merchants on both sides of the river have taken refuge in the nearby castles. ”

"What else?"

"All the river boats were collected downstream, and our troops could not cross the river."

Archbishop Eden frowned and turned to King James: "James, do you think this is ......?" ”

"Haha." James didn't answer him first, but laughed twice, and then said with a contemptuous face: "That guy Charlie thinks this will stop the advance of our army?" It's a joke! ”

"How?"

"Can't we erect a pontoon bridge without a boat?" James pursed his lips and said, despise Archbishop Eden more and more, you said that a good clergyman does not recite the scriptures in the church, and has to follow him on the expedition, isn't it idle and hurtful? And it's weird and annoying.

Archbishop Eden groaned, retracted, and chimed in.

King James looked at him and said, "That's pretty much it."

Then he turned to the horseman: "Has the Marquis of Cornell already started erecting the pontoon?" ”

The herald replied, "It's already started, but because there are no boats, we can only build floating tanks temporarily, so the progress is not very fast." ”

King James nodded, and said to the two knights of the guard beside him, "Order the whole army, hurry up, I will reach the Atany River by tomorrow evening!" ”

The two knights of the Guards stroked their chests, made a cameo as heralds, turned their horses, and ran back and forth towards the procession.

After a few moments, the speed of the team's advance increased sharply, raising a cloud of sand and dust.

In the rolling iron flow, King James held his sword in his hand, stared at the direction of Kevin City, the capital of the Kingdom of Andris, and said with a sinister smile: "Charlie, I will make you a stepping stone for me to become famous in the world!" ”

……

At the same time, five hundred miles south of the Anitan River, King Andris ** camped.

"Teacher, is there any news ahead?" King Charles sat on the square bench in the corner of the big tent, wiped his long sword, and asked lightly.

Shangguan Lao'er also found a stool to sit down, and said with a relaxed smile: "The enemy's vanguard is building a pontoon bridge, and it seems that the intention of going south is very strong." ”

Charlie sneered and said, "I don't know if I'm alive or dead." ”

Shangguan Zhige nodded sympathetically, "Do you want to order the navy to go north now?" ”

Charlie shook his head, "It's not time yet, we have taken all the boats away, and they will only use pontoons to build bridges, and the progress will not be fast." We'll wait. ”

"Hmm." Shangguan Zhige pondered for a moment, and changed to another topic: "Your Majesty, our goal is not just to hold on to Prince McGee's army to be trained, right?" ”

Charlie raised his eyes and looked at his teacher, and said with a smile: "Naturally not." By the time McGee's army is ready, we'll be wiped out! This time, the battle to recapture the Holy City of the Brown Empire will have results in half a year at most. If we win, we can say that if we lose, the attention of the Holy See will definitely be shifted to us. It would be bad if we couldn't break the siege of the Eight Nations and expand our power even further! ”

Shangguan nodded his head, "So, our goal this time should be to completely smash the siege of the Eight Kingdoms, right?" ”

"Hmm." King Charles nodded with a firm gaze, "Crush them completely!" ”

Shangguan Zhige smiled coldly: "And the first ...... to be crushed into powder"

King Charles raised his eyes to look at his teacher.

The master and apprentice said in unison, and their tones were cold: "It's James and his army of 100,000!" (This time, James sent 50,000 regular soldiers, and requisitioned 50,000 people in the country to serve as auxiliaries, so he was called a 100,000 army.) Broken Army Press)

……

In the evening of the next day, by the Anitan River.

King James stood on the tidal flats with his sword in his hand, and behind him was the continuous camp of 100,000 troops under his command, and he looked at the green wheat fields on the other side of the river, and he only felt full of ambition and wanted to roar wildly!

He came this time, and he didn't plan to leave!

He will swallow all the territory occupied by the troops this time and become a part of the kingdom of Adonis!

The thirty-three kingdoms of the Western Continent are bordered by each other, and there is a powerful Holy See as the co-master, except for the countries facing the Brown Empire, other countries have no possibility of expansion at all. This time, he James sent troops to fight against the apostate king Charlie, which can be said to be justified. In this case, if we don't take the opportunity to expand our territory, when will we wait?

And as the only king to have achieved expansion in the millennia since the Cliff family seized the throne of the kingdom of Adonis, how could he not be thrilled that he James was destined to go down in history?

Stomp, stomp!

A sound of footsteps approached.

The Marquis of Cornell, the general of the striker, came to his king's side.

"My king." The Marquis of Cornell gave a deep salute.

James looked at his general and asked, "Is there anything wrong, Marquis?" ”

"I ......," the Marquis of Cornell said again.

"Say!" James said impatiently.

Marquis Cornell nodded, "My king, are we really going to cross this river?" ”

James turned his head abruptly and glared at him with a cold gaze: "What do you mean?" ”

Cornell hurriedly explained: "We have too many troops, if we cross the river, the supply of grain and grass will all depend on the pontoon bridge, if the enemy army goes up the river at this time and burns the pontoon bridge, our army will not only run out of food, but even lose the way to retreat." ”

However, in the face of Marquis Cornell's exhortation, James pouted: "What did I think you were going to say?" How could I not have imagined such a situation? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the other side of the river: "What do you see is that?" ”

The Marquis of Cornell followed the king's finger and saw that on the other side of the tidal flat, there were endless fields.

"You mean?" Marquis Cornell asked, wide-eyed.

James nodded, "It's mid-September, and there's still one month left at most for the autumn harvest." With so much food in front of us, won't we take it ourselves? ”

"But...... That's all food for the parishioners! ”

"No!" James shook his finger and sneered, "That's the food for the untouchables of the enemy country!" ”
