Chapter 188: The War Begins

The two armies stood opposite each other, and the whole wasteland was filled with an air of tension.

Lyon's choice will determine the course of events.

In the rear of the army, Silas was full of anxiety, he originally wanted to stand up and take the initiative to go with the people of White Mist City, but was stopped by York, whether to leave or stay is up to the lord, he can't go out at this time to disturb the result.

"Leon, are you trying to stall for time? But what's the point, you still have to make a decision in the end. Albert urged.

"Really? Why should I make a choice now? Leon decided not to choose either, he was the lord of Ravenwood Town, and the other party was from White Mist City, and there was no direct relationship between his superiors and subordinates, what the other party proposed was only a condition, as for whether to agree or not, when to agree to be up to him.

"You're playing tricks. Albert had no idea that he would do this.

"Pay attention to your words, I'm a lord anyway, and you're nothing. "Since Payne didn't come in person, then in this land, his status is the highest, and it is not the turn of a person who does not have a title to reprimand.

"Leon, I advise you to make a choice at once, or you will bear the consequences. Albert threatened that the plan had been carefully prepared and that nothing could be gained in the end.

"No, this is my territory, and it is a great crime for you to trespass without my consent, and I advise you to leave quickly, or you will bear the consequences. Leon puffed out his chest, and at this point, the town's position would not change.

"Okay, you choose to harbor criminals, then go to war. Albert finally warned.

"If you're going to do that, I'm not going to stop you. Leon was not afraid, he had been ready for battle before, and now the archers behind him had enough enchanted arrows and found excellent shooting positions, once the battle began, they could quickly weaken half of the opponent's cavalry, and the rest of the battle rhythm would follow the pace of the town.

"You don't regret it. Albert turned around and prepared.

Leon also returned to the ranks, and as soon as the opponent moved, the archers would immediately counterattack.

"Rush. ”

Seeing that the situation was at an impasse, Albert was unwilling to return empty-handed, and this time it was a lesson for Leon. As soon as he gave the order, the cavalry of White Mist City began to charge.

The distance began to approach, the archers tightened their bowstrings and aimed at the enemy, and months of day and night practice finally came in handy today.

"Whoosh. ”

Enchanted arrows flew out quickly.

"Ah......h

The cavalry of White Mist City fell from their horses after an arrow, they knew where to start to protect after a long period of training, this charge was far from the distance of protection, they did not pay attention to the arrows on the opposite side, but their lives were in danger.

"What's going on?" the cavalrymen looked left and right, completely unable to believe the facts in front of them, the distance of the arrows was three or four times longer than that of ordinary ones, and absolutely no one in the world could do it, but it was an indefensible fact that the people around them kept falling.

"Ahh Another cavalryman was shot by an arrow, and the enchanted arrow pierced through his helmet, screaming and falling to his horse.

Albert saw the tragic situation in the rear, he couldn't say anything shocked, the order to fight had been issued, he couldn't retreat at this time, let alone surrender, as long as the cavalry could break through the opponent's formation, the chance of winning this battle was still very good.

"The spearmen are on the defensive, and the swords and shields are ready for battle. "York commanded at the front, and the best against the cavalry was the spearmen, and the sword and shield men were in the rear, and once the cavalry broke through the defensive belt, they would be the main killing force.

The effect of the enchanted arrows exceeded Leon's expectations, and the cavalry that finally rushed at him was less than two hundred, and when they encountered the spearmen, they were half broken, and their charge had little effect.

The two sides collided, and the cavalry and melee soldiers engaged in a fierce battle, and due to the town's superiority in class and numbers, the remaining cavalry was eliminated without much resistance.

Immediately after, the sword soldiers of White Mist City chased after him.

"Albert, you really made the wrong choice. "Lyon, sitting on horseback, has seen the end of this war.

The archers continued to attack, the swordsmen had no cover, and the enchanted arrows struck them in the chest, in their heads, and in their thighs, and it didn't take long for them to fall in the way of the charge.

The remaining dozens of people saw the one-sided scene and hurriedly threw down their weapons and turned to flee.

In the distance, only Albert and two guards remained.

"Let's get out of here. The guards advised that the war was over, and that it would end at an unimaginable speed, and that it was important to return to White Mist City immediately to save their lives.

"Withdraw. Albert, from his expression to his heart, was overwhelmed with indescribable shock, and Ravenwood must not develop.

Seeing someone fleeing, Hor volunteered: "My lord, I'll go after you." ”

Leon wasn't worried about what Albert could make a splash: "No need, just write back to Payne." In addition, he immediately sent a message to the Guardian of the North, saying that the Earl had sent someone to trespass on Ravenwood, hoping that he would try the matter. ”

Now that White Mist City has been defeated and has lost nearly a thousand people, it will definitely find a way to retaliate. Until then, someone needs to stand up and check and balance, and the Guardian of the North is the best candidate.

"I'm afraid that White Mist City will not obey the orders of the Northern Guard, they are very close to Hampshire, and you know about Hampshire. York predicts that Payne will unite with Hampshire and launch an offensive against the town while resisting the Northern Guards.

"No matter what they do in the end, if a war breaks out today, we must find a reasonable enough reason for ourselves, it is the responsibility of White Mist City for their trespass on Ravenwood and annihilation, we are just defending properly. "Lyon is mainly to give the town a reason to avoid being taken advantage of.

In this day and age, there is always a need for a reason to start a war, and no matter what the real purpose is, you will always find a good reason for yourself. Even if others know it well, they have no handle left on the bright side, and there is no way to condemn or hold them accountable.

The defeat of White Mist City this time must be a big publicity that the town harbors criminals, which is not a good thing for Leon. To alleviate this kind of unkind rhetoric, you need to find a reason to fight it, and the soldiers of White Mist City breaking into the territory are the best reason.

Whether it is in the north or elsewhere in the kingdom, trespassing on territory is not allowed, especially now that it is still a peaceful era, such behavior is even more despised by the major powers, and Albert's choice to start a war in the territory today is a big heel.

"But we can't be left behind as a military ally. York reminded that not leaving a handle is just a good look on the surface, and in the final analysis, it is hard power that determines everything.

"Not only allies, but also the speed of acquisition of territories. "Leon wants to make his own strength stronger, his allies can solve the temporary crisis, and only he can protect his life.
