The knights' attempt to assault failed, and the spears in their hands had been cut off one after another, as if their morale was gone, and their invincible charge did not crush the opposing infantry as usual, but the infantry who were their opponents screamed as if they had been beaten with blood, and it was extremely detrimental to the knights' side to continue the fierce battle.

The young knights had already begun to retreat under the command of their experienced captain, and it was difficult for them to fight a protracted battle without the coordination of the infantry, and because of their unauthorized charge, there was a great mismatch between the infantry and horses.

After not a single blow of Chiviny's army was crushed, most of the cavalry began to return from the battle, leaving only a small number of knights to continue to make a final charge to Stannis's position, although Stannis appreciated such courage, but there was only one response to this brainless behavior, so that he would not risk his own noble status as the body of the king, and play a one-on-one game with the knights who had already killed the red-eyed knights.

He just rode on his horse and watched the countless helmet-clad soldiers around him slowly move forward, stabbing the knights off their horses with spears and bows in their hands, and Stannis watched like the Great Demon King as the knights in bright armor and sharp swords died at the hands of their younger brothers.

With the annihilation of this last squad of knights, the first day of the battle ended in a small victory for Stannis, who lost their troops in front of Stennis for not obeying the orders of their marshal, including Sword Wind Labania, more than 500 cavalrymen were killed in needless battles, although it did not matter in the big picture, but Stannis and his men taught the enemy a lesson, not to underestimate anyone on the battlefield.

For the next two days, Garcia's army did not take the initiative to cross the river to attack, and the two sides began to enter a long phase of confrontation. Stannis did not let his guard down, he constantly sent his scouts to patrol back and forth along the river to prevent the enemy from secretly building boats upstream and downstream to cross the river, and Marshal Warren on Garcia's side also hung up the battle card, he wanted to make him withdraw voluntarily by consuming the grain and grass on Chivinie's side.

This veteran who has been fighting for decades has a really good eye, because he himself is leading a temporarily mobilized army, especially those rebellious knights in the west who always do not obey the command, and he accurately judges that the food on Zivinie's side is already stretched. After all, Stennis has only been open for a long time, and it is obviously beyond the power to support so many troops, and Stennis now relies on buying food on credit from those greedy merchants, which also makes him absolutely unable to retreat, once he falls into a passive sign in the war situation, those merchants who eat people and do not spit out bones will definitely abandon him and move everything in his territory to pay off his debts.

So even if he gritted his teeth, Stannis had to persevere, believing that what he had asked Robert to accomplish would turn the tide of the war.

Sure enough, a day later, Stannis stood on a hillside near the riverbank, bathed in the summer breeze, and watched the chaos in the camp across from him with the eyes of Noh theater.

Because the lords and knights who came out to fight for Garcia received the news at the same time that their territory had been conquered!

In the name of avenging the previous duke and the guardian of the west, they raised troops from the northwest frontier of the principality, bypassing the principality to defend their garrisons and penetrating into the hinterland of the west, because most of the lords there led their troops to call on the call of the Duchy of Garcia to fight the rebels in the far east, resulting in an extremely empty defense, and this army was connected with eleven castles and two cities.

Therefore, the lords in the barracks, who learned that their hometown had been blown up on the spot, angrily questioned Marshal Warren why the duchy did not fulfill its duty to protect their families when they went out to fight bloodily, and most of them immediately said that they would lead the army back and would not fight for Garcia again.

Of course, Marshal Warren can't agree, retreating now means the collapse of the entire front of his front, if the Stannis side takes advantage of the situation to cover up, the consequences will be unimaginable, as a veteran who has followed Duke Garcia for twenty years, Marshal Warren must not watch the hegemony of the Garcia family fall.

But the lords of the western realm obviously did not want to sit here and watch their territory be looted, and they were even preparing to start an armed riot and forcibly rush back to the western border.

Seeing that Garcia's people were going to start their own infighting, Stannis had already laughed so much that his stomach began to hurt, and his little brother's mission was completed very successfully, not only successfully persuaded the Mitage family to raise troops, but also made progress, almost going back and forth around the western border, sure enough, Syworth's boasting that they had the first intelligence network of Tanis was not in vain, they had already figured out where the most lax garrison was and could insert it accurately.

Now Garcia's menacing attack has begun to disintegrate, and it is Stannis's turn to fight back, only this time he is ready to play a big game and solve this war that will determine the world's ownership within ten days!

Stannis received accurate information, and Marshal Warren finally relented after endless quarrels, and he agreed that the lords of the West would lead their troops back to the rescue, while he and the remaining Garcia regular army would stay to guard against Chivinie's army, which had more than doubled their strength but was demoralized and unable to attack again, hoping that their enemies would run out of food and retreat.

Halfway through Stannis's plan, he now has to embark on his final plan, the most daring of all.

He will leave his entire army to continue to confront Garcia's main force, attracting all their attention, and he will only take a small number of people to personally capture Garcia's heart, and the moment the lion banner falls from the royal city of Thistle, the rule of the Garcia family will also sound the death knell!

Although this battle plan is extremely profitable, as long as the capture of Teist City will establish the world's momentum in one fell swoop, but this plan is also too risky, not to mention that the royal city has not been captured for more than two hundred years, the last time it was closest to its fall led to the destruction of the rebel coalition forces, and Stannis did not have enough people to attack manually.

But Stannis has made up his mind, he doesn't want to fight the enemy repeatedly in city by city, although Anya is the only one who supports his plan, but that's enough, the winner will get everything, and the loser will never be remembered again!
