Chapter 80: Charge
That night, on the eastern border of Lopez, the military camp of the Duchy of Lion was still lit with fire, and the sentinels were still strictly carrying out their patrol duties.
There are only a few stars in the night sky, the moon has long been unknown where to hide, and there are only two military camps in this land with light, as if the heavens are providing conditions for the surprise attack of the Principality of Lion tonight.
In the distance, there are scouts from Lopez's army group, and as soon as there is any change in this barracks, they will immediately send out a signal to alert the army group behind them.
But they didn't know that an army had quietly left the barracks right under their noses.
"It's almost time. "Grand Duke Cameron was fully armored, and a roaring golden lion was embroidered on the cloak behind his back, and he rode on a warhorse, looked up at the starry sky, and chuckled in a low voice, this battle he wanted to make the kingdom of Lopez scare because of him.
Everything in the barracks looked normal from the outside, but the 20,000 troops inside had already taken advantage of the night to line up neatly, standing behind Grand Duke Cameron and others, silent and solemn, ready to set off to meet the enemy at any time.
The lion before the king no longer exists, and now standing here is the first lion king of the lion kingdom!
And Gwendrin behind him was also wearing armor and riding on a white warhorse, looking heroic, but although she looked excited on the surface, there was an inexplicable look flashing in her eyes.
She turned her head to look at a knight in the distance, the knight was fully armed, even the mask had been lowered, and then the other party seemed to feel something and happened to look at her, and nodded to her slightly, Gwendrin showed an inexplicable smile when she saw his movements, and then turned her head back, waiting for the order of the Grand Duke Cameron.
While everyone was waiting quietly, not knowing what Grand Duke Cameron was waiting for, the military camp of the Lopez Kingdom was on fire, accompanied by a terrible shout of killing.
"Come with me!" shouted Grand Duke Cameron as he saw the sight in the distance, and drew his sword from his waist and pointed it forward.
and rushed out first under the encirclement of his own knights.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The soldiers behind him had bloodthirsty eyes in their eyes, and as the knights in front of them roared angrily, they launched an assault on the enemy formation.
"Attack!" In the distance, on the slope of the hill shrouded in darkness, three thousand iron horsemen waited silently, they were the army that had quietly left the barracks before.
They have armor and horses, which has cost a lot of manpower and material resources of the Lion Principality, and the war horses are the best in the entire Lion Principality, and the soldiers are also the best, they are the invincible lions on the battlefield.
Their mission is to launch a decisive charge before the main army, tear through the enemy's defenses, and make the way for the army behind!
This torrent of steel silently drove the war horse under the crotch under the order of the knight of Lund, there was no roar, no neigh, only the roar of the horse's hooves knocking on the earth.
"The enemy is coming!" the sentry outside the barracks roared in terror and his voice was sharp.
Bands of shields quickly moved forward, blocking the way of the cavalry charge of the Duchy of Lion.
Although they reacted quickly, they were unable to mobilize a large number of troops due to the changes in the barracks, and most of the soldiers were pinned down in the rear.
War horses are speeding up, faster and faster!
They were getting closer and closer under the horrified gaze of Lopez's shieldmen, and even the shimmer of the cavalry spears in the hands of the soldiers at the front could be seen clearly in the firelight.
Finally...... Two armies collide!
The next morning, Villerett woke up early, and although she had been left by Jason to live in the castle yesterday, nothing good had happened.
Jason left her at the castle for a sumptuous dinner, and then arranged for her to stay in the guest room.
After all, no matter how good the environment of the shop is, it can't compare to the castle guest rooms, and it's still snowing heavily, so she didn't refuse.
"How did Miss Villette sleep last night?" When she had finished washing up and came to the castle hall, she saw Jason sitting at the table with a smile on his face.
"Not bad. Willett didn't hold back too much in front of Jason after yesterday's incident, rolled her eyes and walked across from him.
"What are you going to do?" she asked.
After such a long time, the war in the east has definitely begun, and the kingdom will soon have no time to take care of it, and if Jason can seize the opportunity by then, he will definitely be able to strengthen the Iron Fang.
"Three hundred soldiers were left to defend the town of Ironfang, and the five hundred regular soldiers in the town would follow Lancelot to attack the territory of Viscount Tours to the east. Jason swallowed a mouthful of porridge and looked up at her.
Jason had the Hodge Knight in his hands, and it was absolutely impossible for Viscount Tours to deny the conflict.
If the other lords want to stop it, they are against the Lopez royal family, at least on the surface, the royal family also has to maintain its dignity, even if it is just a prince who has been exiled, he can't be bullied outside.
"Why did you have to cut him?" Villewlet was a little puzzled, the Viscount of Tours's territory was not very wealthy, and it was likely that the gains outweighed the losses.
There are a few other lords around who don't deal with Jason, but there are many who are not strong but have relatively wealthy territories.
"Follow the vine and touch the melon, and if you use him as a knife, you can dig out a lot of aristocratic forces that cooperate with him along this line. Jason smiled and wiped his mouth.
"At least we have to take advantage of the righteousness on the surface, and I don't want to lose a reputation for being warlike. ”
"......" Villette pouted, disdainful of the hypocrisy of these nobles.
"You don't want this expression, the people's will is very important. Jason knew what she was thinking as soon as he saw her expression, so he had to say helplessly.
"The king is like a boat, the people are like water, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat. His expression was serious.
Wellett may be a good hand at business, but when it comes to politics, she may be a little less than Jason.
"It makes sense. Willett's eyes lit up when she heard this, this was the first time she had heard of it.
"Of course. Jason nodded, but in his heart he thought that it was not unreasonable for Li Shimin to become a generation of heroes, at least in this regard, he saw it very thoroughly.
In ancient and modern times, many powerful empires have been overthrown by these seemingly weak commoners, and the monarch does not pay attention to public opinion, and it is only a matter of time before they fall.
"Isn't it because of the unscrupulous conquest that the once-prosperous Hutt Empire caused the common people to suffer unspeakably, and finally overthrew them and split into the current northern states?" Jason said, pointing to the ground beneath his feet.
Hundreds of years ago, the Hutt Empire was a powerful military empire that even the Holy See did not dare to wield its edge, and the Holy See failed to penetrate into the north during its strongest period, and a big reason was because of them.
It is such a terrifying country, which was weakened by a group of civilians and a rebellion of some nobles, and finally collapsed.
"You say ......" Villette's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Jason with a look of hesitation and a hint of excitement.
"If we can bring the Holy See into disrepute and unmask their hypocrisy, will we have the power to overthrow them?"
Jason's face turned green when he heard this, can he say this kind of thing casually? If he is not allowed to be out for a while, he will be approached by the group of perverts in the Inquisition!
