In April 1258, the flames of war that had been silent for a winter were ignited again, and the first country to attack was not the Kugit Khanate, but the originally silent kingdom of Virgia. On 5 April, the 3,000-strong Virgia Legion surrounded the border fortress of Kugit, and just six hours later, the 300 defenders were wiped out under a rain of arrows.

Compared with the thunderous offensive of the Vigia Kingdom, the Kugit Khanate was completely stunned, and no one would have thought that the Vigia Kingdom would take the historically strong Kugit to attack. However, Hu Bin didn't have too much surprise after seeing this battle report, because he knew about the object, time and place of Vigia's war half a month ago.

The completion of the temple greatly reduced Hu Bin's expenditure, and Hu Bin, who freed up the funds, began the most crazy expansion of his army, he wanted to form an elite army composed of all heroic knights, but this was only a trivial preparation in the plan.

Hakim Sultan summoned him after the temple in the city of Hubin was built, along with representatives of the major families and powerful noble lords. The Sultan showed the crowd a letter containing a plan for an attack on the Kugit Khanate, including the exact time and place, signed by King Yarogert of Virgia.

The letter had arrived in the city of Sharez six days earlier, and Virgia's intention was quite obvious, which was to invite Salander to join him in the offensive against Kujit, and the Sultan of Hakim, having gathered so many men, apparently agreed to the plan.

"Half a month later is the date for the implementation of the plan, King Vegia gave me the choice, he is probably optimistic about the potential of the Holy Alliance, and even simply wants to join the Holy Alliance, the authenticity of the plan is more reliable. Do I want to hear what you mean, and whether we will cooperate with the plans of the Kingdom of Vegia, or send a message to Kugit, or will we not help each other? As soon as Sultan Hakim stopped talking, the lords began to discuss.

Hu Bin's head is big, his city wall has not yet been completed, and the economy has just improved, I thought that Salander would have plans to join the battle around May, and finally have time to accumulate a little family foundation, but I didn't expect the plan to catch up with the changes. He knew that Hakim Sultan would never miss this opportunity, and the two did not help each other to seem to be neutral, but he also offended the two belligerent countries, so should Salander wait for the two countries to fight before choosing a bargain. Hu Bin wanted to do this, but the high-level leaders of Virgia and Kujit were not fools, so how could they give Salander a chance.

In any case, this battle could not be missed again, and Hu Bin had to put the plan for the reconstruction of the legion on the agenda.

During the meeting, most of the lords said that the sincerity of the Vigia Kingdom was relatively large, and the conflict of interests with their own country was not obvious at this stage, so they could consider trying to cooperate, and as for the alliance issue, everyone did not mention it, after all, this matter was very important, and the attitude of the Rhodok side should also be considered.

On the third day of the planned war in the Kingdom of Vegia, Salander's army would raid the large city of Halma, west of Kujit, and at the same time send part of its troops to the northeast a day in advance to make a feint, doing everything possible to contain possible reinforcements from Kujit.

"Two days, we only have two days, we must take Halma City within two days, this battle ~ must win."

"Long live Salander."

・・・・・・

Half a month before the start of the plan, the Kujit discovered that the military movement in Salander was abnormal, but because of the sharp increase in Salander's troops on the northeast border, the Kujit thought that this was a normal defensive reinforcement in Salander, after all, the international situation has become more and more tense recently, and they just increased the surveillance in the southeast of their country, so they put this information aside.

The lax performance of the Kugit was Salander's response to the Viggiya side, so the Vigia Kingdom made a surprise attack on the Kugit border according to the plan.

The main force of Kugit was attracted to the north by the Kingdom of Virginia, and two days later the marshal set out from the northeastern border with 500 elite cavalry and plundered the villages in the southeast of Kugit.

"The decoy has begun, and the rest is up to us." In order to attract the attention of the enemy, Marshal Muhai Boyoye assumed command of the decoy forces, while the siege force, led by Hakim Sultan himself, set out from the Gamiyad Fort and went straight to Halma.

On the afternoon of 8 April, the alarm sounded in the villages near the city of Halma, and the army of Salander, of more than 3,000 people, arrived under the city of Halma one after another, surrounded the city, and sent a small cavalry unit to reconnoiter the nearby enemy forces.

Hu Bin brought a full 40 freelancers and 20 Eyes of Death this time, in order to take Halma City as soon as possible. Although the Kugit army is not good at defending the city, but the Salander army is not good at attacking the city, at this time the elite infantry led by Hu Bin came in handy, in such a small-scale assault battle, the free knight with strong combat power and defense is really suitable.

Knowing that time was tight, the Sultan of Hakim built a siege ladder overnight and launched an attack before dawn, which was not a tentative attack, but a strong attack that left no room for anything, because the scattered reinforcements of Kugit would arrive one after another soon, and Salander only brought infantry and archers who were good at attacking the city, and without the Mamluks, the cavalry would be a great threat to the troops.

Hu Bin's legion was placed in the second siege echelon, so that it would not be attacked by archers in vain while waiting for the siege ladder to approach, and the Sultan of Hakim also attached great importance to these elite infantry, and it was up to them to open the gap quickly and take the city.

The siege ladder finally leaned against the city wall, and Salander's side also paid about 200 casualties, but the good days of the Kugit defenders came to an end, and as the follow-up troops swarmed up, the bloody grinding of meat immediately began at the gangplank of the siege ladder.

It was the first time Hu Bin had participated in the siege battle, so he was a little cautious, but seeing that his side was unable to open a gap in the city, he could no longer sit still.

"Crusaders, follow me." After more than half a year, this loud slogan reappeared on the battlefield.

The Eye of Death's crossbow fired a round, and many of the infantry archers on the city immediately fell, and the rest also shrank their heads, for fear that those terrible crossbow arrows would pierce their heads. One of Kujit's archers looked at the two holes in his helmet and sat on the ground in fright, unable to get up, and had just finished shooting his arrows and was about to hide inside the wall when he was targeted by the Eye of Death. Apparently the Eye of Death made a small mistake that allowed the cavalry archers to save a small life, but it also frightened the nearby archers into not daring to show their heads again.

When several of the lords commanding the siege ascended the siege ladder, the besieging Salander legion began to boil, and it was the Sultan of Hakim who was at the head, followed by the lord of Reed, surrounded by several free knights who were closely guarded. The moment he landed at the head of Halma, Hu Bin felt dizzy, and at least three or four weapons were coming at him around him, which was the result of the soldiers of the vanguard blocking most of the enemies. A small platform was actually piled with thick corpses on top of each other.

"Build a stronghold, cover the gap, and everyone withstands." Sultan al-Hakim gave a loud order, but the soldiers were unable to form an effective line of defense due to the enemy's pinning down, and the enemy always bypassed them to harass the troops that were entering the city.

Hakim Sultan was also targeted by several archers, and he couldn't lift his head when he was shot by a round of arrows, and even Hu Bin next to him was implicated.

"Rush up for me, sword blade fluttering." Hu Bin forced back the enemy in front of him with a sword wind, and he found that in the siege battle, the attack power of most of the skills was weakened a lot, which made it difficult for him to quickly open the situation with the output of energy-dependent combat skills, and had to order his subordinates to use a suicidal killer move.

The freelancers who received the order ignored the enemy's attack and swung the Tang knife in their hands counterclockwise with all their might, and the huge cutting force divided all the obstacles around them, and even Salander's allies were affected a lot.

However, Hu Bin's order to ignore the accidental wound had an effect, and the enemy's dense human wall was cut off several layers in a short time, and the Salander infantry who came up from behind firmly occupied the space, and they finally gained a foothold in the city.

"Steady and steady, waiting for support." Hakim Sultan was finally able to catch his breath, and when he saw that the third wave of siege troops had departed, he couldn't help but be sure that as long as his group could hold the city during this time, the victory would be locked on his side.
