Chapter 414: Decisive Battle

When he got the news, Stannis, who was still in a position to scold Fang Xuan, was shocked and couldn't say a word for a long time, he didn't expect that the Garcia family would not move and play a big game as soon as they came.

Sure enough, all his attention was drawn to the city of Levundale, so that no one noticed that the enemy had made a big news in the distance.

According to the intelligence, this mighty army of 30,000 men was already on its way, and in a week it would enter his territory.

Garcia's eyes were very vicious, knowing that rebellions in other places were all diseases of ringworm, and the source of this rebellion, Stennis, was the main problem, as long as he was directly eliminated in one fell swoop, this rebellion would be suppressed immediately.

However, after calming down for a few minutes, Stannis did not have no cards to play, and he immediately understood that now was no longer the time to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and since he was determined to ascend the throne, he simply let this rebellion move a little bigger!

"Cortana, send me a letter to the West...... Forget it, for the sake of insurance, let's let the radish go in person. ”

Stannis has made up his mind to start an incident with the Medici family, but this matter must be kept 100% secret, otherwise it will not have a surprise effect, and it will cause his allies to be destroyed one by one.

And the choice of this messenger Stennis also had to be carefully considered, even if Robert was the son of the duke, he had to send him out to deliver the letter, Mitage They only believed in their comrades who had experienced the test of blood and fire with them, and they were only willing to meet him or Robert, and compared to other people in the territory, Stannis was also more willing to trust his younger brother.

"So I'm going to have to trouble you this time. ”

Robert, who was sitting opposite Stannis, crossed his legs and waved his hand nonchalantly, "Okay, I see, leave this kind of trivial matter of sending a letter to me, but how are you going to meet the 30,000 army?"

Stannis stood up, and now it was just the two of them in the little dark room, and the King of the Eastside paced back and forth, looking excited and hesitant.

In the end, he still poured out his thoughts, "I am ready to take the initiative to meet Garcia's army." ”

Sure enough, as he thought, Robert's eyes widened and he was surprised, "You're crazy! You don't have six thousand people now, and you even take the initiative to fight, isn't this right in the hands of Garcia's old fox?"

But only by doing so can Stannis have a chance of survival, otherwise he will definitely die if he is trapped here.

"So my life and death are all up to you, if you can't notify Mitage in time to cause an incident in the rear and relieve the pressure on my frontal battlefield, I will die, and I will not let you go when the time comes!"

Robert was frightened by his last words, Stannis was not alarmist, and indeed his only hope of survival was Mitage and his family who rebelled together. Now that he knows the heavy responsibility he shoulders, Robert also changed his usual indecent appearance and became serious, "Okay, I know how to do it, I'll leave tonight." ”

Stannis nodded with satisfaction, and that night, without anyone knowing, Robert galloped to the west alone with the king's handwritten letter, in order not to attract attention, he did not even bring a single guard, and walked completely alone. And when Anya asks where Robert, who follows him like a shadow, goes, Stannis swears that he is going to settle the problem of alimony for his illegitimate child.

Immediately after bidding farewell to Robert, Stannis ordered all his men and allies to march west to meet Garcia's army, and he had a hunch that the battle would be over to determine the fate of the world.

He can't lose and he can't lose!

After three days of fierce fighting, all 3,200 men of the three legions of Zivinie's direct troops have been gathered, and Stannis has taken out all his family resources.

Then, more than twenty lords who had sworn allegiance to him also came to join with their armies, each numbering from a few dozen to hundreds, adding up to a total of more than two thousand.

Finally, there is the Black Dog Mercenary Group that fought alongside him last time. They did not break their promise, and upon receiving the letter from Stannis, they immediately abandoned their current employer and returned to Zivigne by ship from another principality to fight for him.

Now Stannis has a force of 6,500 men, and without Garcia, he is now strong enough to become the top three in the principality, but in front of Garcia's menacing army, he is still tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

But the arrow was ready to be fired, and Stannis looked at his army all over the castle square, and knew that it was time for a decisive battle, and every knight, every soldier, looked at him with the eyes of the god of war, and he knew that these men would follow him to the ends of the earth, and he could not fail them.

Faced with this scene of swallowing mountains and rivers, Stannis only said softly, "Let the curtain of fate fall." ”

Then, in the earth-shaking military might, Stannis led this mighty army on the journey without looking back, and the decisive battle that decided Tanis's fate finally began!

After two days of trekking, the scouts led by Jebertai encountered Garcia's vanguard in the territory of the Marquis of Flode, and after a small but quick skirmish, both sides withdrew from the battlefield, and Garcia suffered a small loss, losing a cavalryman, but it was insignificant.

The main forces of both sides also encountered quickly, but neither side chose to start a war rashly, but all of them first set up camps and stationed there.

From Zivinie's side, they will certainly not hit a stone with an egg when they are outnumbered, but for Garcia, who is superior in numbers, they only need to eat the enemy steadily and steadily, and they don't need to take any risks.

The two sides tacitly confronted each other across the river, and neither had the intention of taking the lead in attacking. Located in the heart of the Flod family, it is a large flat plain, a fair place for both sides to fight, and it also prevents Stannis from trying to cheat.

But none of this mattered, this time Stannis was going to defeat Garcia and the invincible army that symbolized his absolute authority head-on under the watchful eyes of all Tanis, and let them know that the true king had come!

After two days of confrontation, Stannis wrote to Marshal Warren, the commander of Garcia's army, expressing his hope for a head-on battle tomorrow, and the other side was of course willing and immediately agreed.
