Truth be told, the mage's arrangements made Mien even wonder what they were up to.

If it was simply to summon the ancient evil gods, then it had little to do with assisting the Capetian family to conquer the entire north. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This is also a question that Miles can't figure out after thinking about it.

In addition to this, Mien was a little curious, raised his head and said, "There is a question, I want to hear the thoughts of the two of you, will it be possible for the Capet family to raise an army of 130,000 men?"

Mien's question hit the nail on the head, the special geographical location of the Capetian people can be said to be contained at the throat of the north-south border, they have such a big move, will the Enomosen Kingdom really not take the opportunity to bite the Capetians?

With a brutal geopolitical structure, there is no reason why the Ainomosen Kingdom should not come and get involved.

If the Stag Fortress can be defeated, it can be said that the entire north will be exposed to the prying eyes of the Ainomosen Kingdom!

Nicole looked at Mine, her brows furrowed, "I have thought about this question before, I think that His Excellency the Pope and His Excellency Roland should have suspected that there are people from the Ainomosen Kingdom behind the Capetian people." ”

George nodded, "I received news a year ago that the Capetian people have frequent private contact with the Enomosen Kingdom, even if it weren't for the Enomosen Kingdom secretly supporting them in the back, the Capetian people must have spent enough money to convince them not to send troops to intervene, otherwise we wouldn't have to wait too long, the pressure from the Southern Stag Fortress was enough to make them withdraw their troops." ”

"But the biggest possibility is that the Ainomosen Kingdom has now sent troops to the north to fight with the Capets. ”

Meen pondered for a moment, "Perhaps this reason may explain why the Capetians were able to muster an army of thirteen thousand. ”

You know, the Capetian territory will not exceed two million people in total, and they are all large number of farmers.

In this era when the war is completely dependent on the aristocracy to pay for it, just feeding these 130,000 mouths is enough to bankrupt the Capetians!

Not to mention the fact that there are nearly 20,000 elite cavalry!

The daily consumption of war horses alone is an astronomical amount!

Cavalry is not like infantry, you can look good when you put on armor and take a long sword, cavalry is a delicate class, and it is very likely that most of these cavalry are from the kingdom of Ainomosen.

However, this conjecture made Samiyah a little surprised, "Aren't those Capetians afraid that the Ainomosen Kingdom will turn around and beat a rake when the time comes?"

Nicole continued, "It's just a guess now, and the Capetians aren't that stupid. ”

Samiyah took a deep breath, if the Capetian dared to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, then he must be sure, but these questions are not something that needs to be considered now, "So do the two of you have any good plans for a breakthrough? If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the defeat continues." ”

George and Nicole glanced at each other, and Roland picked up the hand on the table, looked at Samier and said helplessly, "Unfortunately, Your Excellency Medest, we have no choice but to force a breakthrough to the north. ”

Mien looked at the two of them, "Then the key to the problem now is how to tear a hole in the northern defense line in the shortest possible time, how many cavalry do we have now?"

"There are less than five thousand men, and there are only three hundred hoplites. ”

Five thousand?

As long as you can tear a hole in the northern defenses, you can get the rest of the soldiers into the Capetian hoplites instead of going head-on!

In terms of the configuration of the hoplites in this world, the heavy armor and shield towers, as well as the spears about three meters long, once they build a defensive line or form a phalanx, it is simply an insurmountable steel wall for ordinary infantry and cavalry!

Even if the hoplites did not have enough numbers, in the face of the 5,000-strong hoplite phalanx of the Capeins, it could be said that once the two sides came into contact, it would be a meat grinder-like quagmire of war!

Although numerical superiority was very important in the era of cold weapons, in Mine's view, the hoplites in this world were as good as the upgraded Macedonian phalanx.

The sturdier and more heavily armed armor, the thick shield tower like a steel plate, although every hoplite is like an iron lump, is invincible in defensive battles!

Even if they were outflanked from both flanks, most of the ordinary infantry and cavalry were helpless in the face of these iron bumps.

Sacrifice all mobility in exchange for an incredibly powerful defense!

If it is a field battle, these hoplites can only be slaughtered by others, except for moving iron cans.

The cavalry in line charged from the flanks and broke up their formation in an instant, but now the conditions only allowed them to launch a lightning assault from the front, surrounded by Capetian scouts, who would not escape the eyes of the other side.

Keep your eyes on the female knights, and if you want to tear through their defenses, perhaps the Holy Knights of the Church will be the sharpest knives!

After a moment of silence, Meen said, "Since the Capetians have arranged for the hoplites to run us headlong, perhaps this is an opportunity. ”

Opportunity?

George and Nicole and the others didn't understand what Mean meant.

Hogg looked at this Mien and said, "Is His Excellency the Pope trying for us to force our way through the defenses of the north?"

Mien nodded, "Since the Capetians dare to make such an arrangement, they must think that we will not be able to break through the defense line over there, and taking advantage of this will be our only hope." ”

George's eyes were serious, "Is there anything Your Excellency can do?"

Meen smiled, "There's only one way, force your way through!"

As soon as Meen spoke, everyone present thought that the Pope was crazy! If they could rush out, the Brans would have broken through long ago.

George was a little embarrassed, and tried to squeeze out a smile but showed an extremely strange expression, "Your Excellency, this joke is not funny at all. ”

When the female knight heard Mien's words, she seemed to understand what he wanted to do, and suddenly spoke, "With me leading the Holy Knight to take the lead, it is not difficult to tear a hole, but I don't know if Your Excellency's cavalry can stand on its feet." ”

Samier's confident voice made everyone look at her, and they all forgot that this female lord was a powerful high knight!

Hogg was slightly stunned, he saw an incomparably strong self-confidence in Samier's body! Since he lost in the duel with her, Hogg's previous indomitable momentum has gradually dissipated.

After being in a high position, the more he thought about the operation of the entire legion and Nicole's safety, the more he thought about it.

As if he saw a glimmer of hope in Sameer, Hogg looked slightly strange.

Nicole looked at Samier and worried, "Lord Maidste, do you really want to do this?"

She didn't understand why the girl in front of her would make such a sacrifice for them, even as a high-ranking knight.

Leading the way for the cavalry, which is a nice saying, is actually a life-threatening errand.

George also looked at Samier incredulously, he also knew a little about the strength of the female knight, but would it be too risky to do so?

"Your Excellency Lord Medestre, please allow me to say anything offensive, in addition to the possibility that you will lose your life, I don't think you will succeed in tearing through the Capetian defenses, I think we still need to think long-term. ”

But Samier did not respond to George, looking at Nicole, his voice did not contain the slightest emotion, "Your Excellency Berran, here I am the head of the Holy Knights of the Church, and we have no way out in the face of this war to defend the faith, and this is also the will of the Pope. ”

Deeply pleased with the courage of the female knight, Meen used a trace of holy power slightly, "Everyone, I will also accompany the knight of Maidste, and no evil can stop us!"

At this time, within the territory of the Delamere family, on the outskirts of Inverness.

An old man stood under a tree with a slender wooden stick in his hand, and a bright voice came out of his mouth, "Come out, there is no point in hiding." ”

As the old man's voice fell, a breeze blew, and the leaves of the small tree swayed gently with the breeze.

In the silent night, apart from the old man's voice, no one seemed to appear.

As the breeze subsided, so did the little tree, but a dead leaf slowly fell from the treetops, and as it approached the old man, it seemed to touch a flame, and in an instant it burned into a pile of residue.

At this time, in the dark night, it was extremely abrupt, and a miserable green light suddenly galloped towards the old man! )
