Chapter 467: Leave No One Behind
In a wilderness, an army of about seven or eight thousand people was slowly advancing, and a handsome young man came to the side of a middle-aged man who looked like a nobleman, and asked a little nervously: "Father, do we really agree to Your Majesty's conditions to attack the rear of Duke Jason's army?"
His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Lopez is much younger than him, and Phil and Jason had a very bad reputation in the royal capital of Slovin before this, so he was very unconvinced by His Majesty the King from the bottom of his heart.
Because of this, he was very resistant to Phil's orders, which made his father very worried.
The middle-aged nobleman sighed, to be honest, did he just want to take on this chore, even if Phil promised him that he would be able to get another vast territory on top of his already owned, and that he would also be given the title of Marquis.
The real situation is that he doesn't want to take on this task, because if he is not careful, he will lose a lot of his strength, and at that time, will he still have the ability to hold on to the territory and wealth in his hands?
But Phil left the barracks directly to find him, and also took dozens of murderous guards with him, is there a choice for him to refuse in this situation?
You must know that his family was sent to the royal city of Slovin before the war began, and it should be said that they were taken to Wang Cheng Slovin, except for the eldest son who is now with him.
Unless he could give up his people, wife and daughter, he would never dare to disobey Phil's "request".
"We, we have no other choice now, if nothing else, at this time, your mother and sister have been monitored by Phil's people, except for our other nobles, probably the same. The middle-aged nobleman said with some confusion.
This caused him to rush to an unprecedented sense of helplessness and powerlessness, all of which he as an earl could not reverse.
The young man was shocked when he heard this, and exclaimed: "How dare he?! Isn't he afraid that we will also rebel and come out of the battle?"
"Be cautious!" How do you know that the middle-aged nobleman roared in a low voice, and cold sweat instantly flowed from his forehead: "Do you want to bury our family's century-old inheritance? Do you think you have such a prominent identity as Duke Jason? Or do you have a profound background like Duke Asa?
Thinking of the ruthless methods that Phil had shown during this period of time after he ascended the throne, the young man couldn't help but shudder and stopped talking.
Fortunately, the guards around him are all family dead, otherwise I am afraid that I really don't know what bad consequences will happen.
It's just that what the father and son don't know is that when they were communicating and the army was silently hurrying, a few pairs of eyes appeared from the bushes on a dirt bag in the distance, looking at the army from a distance.
"I didn't expect that there were really traces of enemies in this broken place where birds don't. One of them was a little agitated.
"We're going to do a great job. "They seem to see an infinitely bright future and a lot of money falling from the sky, and beautiful women around them.
Unlike the two sentry scouts who were not steady enough, their captain was much more mature, and he said in a deep voice: "Pay attention to the patrol cavalry around, don't be careless, release the messenger bird, and we will return to the barracks now." ”
"Yes, Captain. Then the men retreated under the cover of the thick bushes.
After a while, several strange-looking birds suddenly flew from a col in the distance, and their flight speed was almost as fast as the blue eagle in the north.
This was the inspiration Gwendlin received from Jason's Blue Eagle, and a group of folk bird trainers had trained their first successes over the years.
Something similar was happening in several other places, and the largest of these armies scattered in all directions of Jason was seven or eight thousand, and the minimum was only one or two thousand.
Because Phil's purpose in doing this was obvious, he didn't have the luxury of expecting these troops to really succeed in a sneak attack on Jason's army, but he had to disperse his army strength anyway.
Of course, if someone can succeed, it will be a surprise, and it will also be of great help to him in the next battle.
In the days that followed, the noble armies sent by Phil were ambushed to varying degrees, and those who were lucky enough not to be wiped out in the ambush had to flee in a hurry.
Although they survived, what awaited them after returning to Phil's camp would be an even more brutal truth.
Because Phil had already raised the butcher's knife with bad intentions, just waiting for them to poke their necks over, if they were lucky, they might be able to save the lives of the family, but if they were unlucky, not only the wealth accumulated by the family for generations would be swept away, but even their own heads could not be saved.
And the middle-aged nobleman and his son were among the survivors, but his 7,000 army was almost wiped out, leaving only five or six hundred remnants, even if the strength of these surviving soldiers was above that of ordinary soldiers, but they couldn't afford to make any waves.
"Father, it's all over, how can we hold the family territory?" After all, the young man still lacked the composure in the face of strong winds and waves, and he was almost disillusioned after such a big blow.
The middle-aged nobleman also looked very haggard, he was obviously very vigilant, but in the end, he still failed to find the sentinel scout sent by Jason.
He said with a little worry: "After returning to the barracks, we will resign to Your Majesty, we have no benefit or benefit from this war." ”
There was one thing he didn't say, and hopefully Phil wouldn't drive them to a dead end.
It's just that when people are worried about something, the more likely it is to happen, and hundreds of heavily armed cavalrymen suddenly appeared on the hillside in the distance, staring coldly at the remnants of the middle-aged nobles.
"Stop! Battle formation!!" The middle-aged nobles saw this army from a distance, mainly because they had no intention of hiding their tracks at all.
Although these soldiers reacted very quickly, they had experienced a rout, and the equipment on their bodies and hands was already uneven, but they still used their bodies to surround the middle-aged nobleman and his son in the middle.
In the cavalry army in the distance, a man dressed as a general showed an indifferent smile, raised his right hand high, and then waved it down: "Kill!
"Mugir, protect the Lord and retreat!The rest, fight to the death with me!" a commander with a wounded left arm drew his sword and roared.
"Fight to the death!"
