Chapter 436: Sending Troops
The midday sun was a little stronger, and the dazzling light sprinkled on the ground without any scruples, making the whole world bright and fiery. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The movement of cavalry in the city made the residents and mercenaries realize that something must have happened, and when they saw Leo personally galloping out of the city gate with the dissatisfied White Horse Servant and the Rose Knight, they realized that it must be the Grand Duke of Pritz himself who had gone to meet the enemy.
"Look, Grand Duke Pritz is leading the team himself, and I bet I'm going to fight the army of the Church of Light. One of the mercenaries cursed loudly with his companion as Leo left.
A big hand stretched out from the side, and immediately brought the mercenary to him, Urum looked down at the mercenary who was a head shorter than himself, and asked angrily: "Grand Duke Pritz leads the team, do you mean that the aristocratic young man who led the front of those cavalry is Grand Duke Pritz?"
"Yes...... Yes!" The mercenary naturally recognized Urum, a well-known stupid big man in the mercenary world, and knew that he had brute force but no brains, and could not reason at all, so he told him happily: "The handsome young man who walks in the front is the Grand Duke of Pritz, the beautiful woman on his right is the head of the Rose Knights, and on the left is the commander of the White Horse Righteous Servant." ”
Urum's eyes the size of copper bells squeezed hard, but he didn't expect that the aristocratic young man who had taught him two lessons in a row turned out to be the Grand Duke of Pritz. Rao is upright and rude, and he can't help but be afraid, but fortunately, the grand duke seems to have a lot of stomach and doesn't care about his own affairs.
Thinking of this, Urum's heart was secretly grateful to Leo. If he changes to another city, he dares to provoke the city lord or other powerful people, I am afraid that the only way to save his life is to immediately hold his head and run away. However, under his own rude treatment, the Grand Duke of Pritz only taught himself a light lesson, and there was no revenge afterwards, which was unbelievably kind.
Gently letting go of the mercenary he was dragging, Urum made a decision in his heart that he must find a way to repay the Grand Duke of Pritz for his magnanimity.
Two thousand eight hundred horsemen on white horses and five hundred rose knights, these three thousand horsemen dared to provoke the Knights of the Holy Judgment and the Knights of Light. When Sidney learned of Leo's plan, he felt that he was about to go crazy, and he was also surprised by Leo's bold action.
However, Sidney was a knight who had been trained in military affairs since childhood, and after recovering from her initial shock, she also understood Leo's helplessness. Not to mention the Knights of Divine Judgment, the Knights of Light alone are far from being able to defend Pritz City, even if the Knights of Light do not go out of their nests, but even with only half of their troops, I am afraid it will be enough to break through most cities on the continent.
Being able to take the initiative and ignite the flames of war in Paris can be regarded as protecting the Principality of Plitz in disguise. Now Sidney has no nostalgia or scruples for the Paris Empire, and since Emperor Paris wants to erase himself, there is no need to be loyal to him. Not to mention...... Leo was clearly more worthy of his allegiance.
Sidney thought so, but the rose knights under her command were simpler than she thought. The knights chief Dicarus and the Rose Knight were also adopted by Emperor Paris in the military camp since childhood, and were abandoned by Emperor Paris after the defeat, and the sky in their hearts was almost falling at that time.
In the days that followed, in Pritz City, they rediscovered the value of their existence. Under Leo's management, Pritz City did not have as many decaying nobles as anywhere else, only a peaceful and peaceful life, which made the Rose Knights slowly make Pritz City their home. Being able to fight to protect their homeland, the Rose Knights are also willing.
Leo received the information on the spot, and the speed of the march of the two light cavalry units led them to enter Paris before Paris's army blocked the border.
Under the guidance of the information provided by the Iga ninjas, Leo led his army to easily find the gap in the movement of Paris's army, and without alarming the Paris army at all, he went all the way in the direction of the Church of Light.
Although under the efforts of Abraham's crown, Captain Ian of the Knights of Light reluctantly got the task of exterminating the Duchy of Pritz, but to his dissatisfaction, Cardinal Owen insisted on forcibly asking the two knights to attack the Duchy of Pulitz together in the name of having mobilized the Knights of the Holy Inquisition.
A small principality, a principality with only one city, actually wants to dispatch the two major knights of the Church of Light, which is simply using a machete to trim toenails and dragon spears to pick teeth, it is clear that the Knights of Light cannot be trusted. And unexpectedly, His Majesty the Pope agreed to such an unbelievable proposal, and Chief Ian felt like he had seen the undead.
Since the Knights of the Holy Judgment had to intervene this time, Captain Ian could only decide to deal with it casually. Therefore, he did not recruit the entire legion with all his might, but recruited a large number of trainee Light Knights, wanting to take this opportunity to train these newcomers well.
Yes, those guys of the Knights of the Holy Judgment want to grab the credit, so let them grab it, anyway, they are just going to train their soldiers. Captain Ian's rash decision left him with regret in hindsight.
Because the legion is full of novices, both the logistics efficiency and the speed of the march are not satisfactory, but these Ian commanders don't care, these young lads still need to hone more, and it just so happens that this opportunity is rare, so let them experience it more in practice.
Unlike Captain Ian's rashness, the Knights of the Holy Judgment attached great importance to this action to exterminate the Duchy of Pritz, and even Cardinal Owen personally led the Knights of the Holy Judgment, wanting to eliminate Leo in one fell swoop to avenge the shame of the Church of Light.
Yes, because of the Church of Light and the matter of the Adjudicator Warband, Cardinal Owen's prestige has plummeted in the Church of Light, and many bishops and priests have expressed disappointment in his decision, which makes Cardinal Owen who is bent on fighting for the papal succession hate Leo deeply, so even if he plays Lai Sapo in the high-level meeting of the church this time, he has to fight for the right to send troops.
Due to Cardinal Owen's attention, the Knights of the Holy Judgment took a little longer to prepare for battle, so their marching speed was slightly behind that of the Knights of Light.
