Chapter 109

"That's right, at least that's the word on the letter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"That's great," said the head maid as she walked to the center of the crowd, looked around, and changed her tone to a serious tone

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have been waiting for this moment for three years. ”

Everyone remained silent, and what they have experienced in the past three years is really indescribable.

"I thought it would be a long time coming, maybe until our hair was gray, but now, the moment we have been waiting for has finally arrived!"

"As a princess, no, the most loyal supporter of Her Majesty, we have been silent for too long, and it is a shame for us that Her Majesty the Supreme Majesty has wandered the world because of our incompetence and is now in the hands of lowly merchants!"

"But today, the opportunity to correct this mistake has come, now is the time when Her Majesty needs us most, and we, too, will respond to her call, and we will definitely be there at her succession ceremony!"

"Oh!" cheered everyone in the room, and Carlod and Little Lobsang applauded excitedly.

"Now," Somaria waved her hand, "let's get ready to go!"

The atmosphere in the castle of Paravon has been solemn since the fall of the king's fleet. In the king's absence, the affairs of the whole country were entrusted to the hands of the only king left, the Count of Sweden. Later, however, another king's hand, the Earl of Claes, returned, and gave him a lot of work. However, it seems that the Count of Sweden does not think so.

Sweden understands why His Majesty the King scolded this guy at that time, this thing is so stupid, so stupid that Sweden, known as the "good old man", almost can't help but get mad, working with him is simply adding to his own blockage, he will seriously mess up everything at hand, and finally throw the pot on you, the problem is that you are not good enough to blame him, because everything he does is out of absolute loyalty. Teswedish felt that he understood what Harengoth had said about Claes, "This earl has nothing but loyalty and martial prowess. ”

Just as he continued to have a headache over the basket that Claes had stabbed, his squire said hello, then hurried in the door, placed a letter on his desk, and hurried back again.

He saw that the envelope was red, indicating that it was an urgent matter. He picked up the letter opener, took out the letter, and as soon as he read the first few words, he was furious and took the case.

Damn Snoudden, he had already left him more than 350 people, and told him to be careful of the Nords, but he was also captured by those barbarians, which was a great shame!

He immediately walked out of the door and into Claes's office. Although he looked down on this colleague who trained all his muscles in his brain, he was the same earl and the same hand of the king as himself, and Sweden was not qualified to order Claes to meet him.

"Yo, isn't this the Count of Sweden?" Claes, who was frowning at the papers, stood up happily when he saw his colleague come in, "What wind blew you here?"

Teswedish looked strange and asked rhetorically, "You don't know?"

Claes was also confused, "What should I know?"

"My territory, Fort Repalet, has been taken by the Nord barbarians, and I must now hurry to drive them away, lest they plunder deep inland. ”

"Oh, how do you say that, the festival mourns change, the festival mourns changes. ”

Terre Swedish only felt a surge of qi and blood, but fortunately, the experience of working together for many years told him that Claes really wanted to comfort himself, and if he replaced someone else, he would have drawn his sword and cut people a long time ago.

Tesween took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, "How many soldiers are there in Parabun?"

"A legion, but it's all levies who have just been formed and trained. ”

There were about a thousand men in a legion, and there was no doubt that these levies were intended to serve as reserves for Harlaus, but since the few supply fleets sent out were looted by the Nord pirates, the Swedes stationed in Paravon ordered the cessation of this senseless attrition.

"I'm going to take 500 men," said Teswe, "I don't have many cavalry under my command, so I must have an absolute superiority in numbers, not to mention, and maybe a siege." ”

"But what about His Majesty?"

"Although we are very unwilling, Aaron's battle situation can only rely on Harongoth, and we can't do anything. Tress gritted his teeth and continued, "All we can do now is to guard the land under His Majesty's feet and put an end to even greater chaos. ”

Claes nodded a little dazedly, but suddenly a flash of inspiration, "Why don't we take advantage of the fact that we can take advantage of the fact that Uxhall is taking it back now?" Uxhall's city defense is quite impressive, and those thieves have not been able to defeat the city for a long time, and they must be quite weak now." ”

"Don't think about it, the thieves rebelled against the mercenaries defending the city, forced the garrison of the city to death, and seized the city almost bloodlessly. Damn, this is definitely the work of that bastard businessman, and the Aisona I know definitely has no such scheming. ”

As he spoke, he sighed, "I said Claes, you should strengthen your intelligence skills, it's not okay to have a black eye like this." ”

"What, aren't you in charge of the information?"

Tesween slapped himself on the face, wiped his face tiredly, and then took out his seal from the place close to his arms and slapped it on the Claess table, "It's up to you now." ”

As soon as he was in power, he gave the order, no, as soon as the Count of Sweden led his troops out of the city, he received a small note, judging from the smell of pigeon feces on it, it should be the secret information that had just been delivered.

He opened it and laughed three times, "I have long been displeased with this group of rebels, and now I dare to come out of Sunuo? Hmph, see me kill you." "While the situation in the north is turbulent, the war situation in the south is also magnificent. Haraus was still trapped in the city of sorrow, and he could hold out for so long in the face of an extreme lack of supplies, and it must be said that this man had two brushes. In the east, in Veruga, Count Harongoth and Earl Gruenwald were also limited in supplies due to the fall of Uxhall, and if it weren't for the fact that his king was still waiting for him in Aaron, Harongoth would have ordered a retreat. However, the matter of supplies was not difficult for Harangos, he gave full play to his strengths, burned the surrounding villages, and gathered supplies for his army, after he killed two nobles who took the lead in preaching the theory of retreat, he stabilized the morale of the army, broke through the outer walls of Viruga in one go, and plundered the outer city, and harvested a lot of supplies.

For the time being, Count Harongoth, who didn't have to worry about supplies, began to live again. The king's situation was at stake, and he could not afford to delay too long in Viruga. Considering that the main force of Rhodok's northern army had been defeated, the little Rhodoks who were still struggling in the inner castle were not to worry at all, and it was only a matter of time before the city was breached, so he boldly divided his forces, some of them stayed in Viruga to continue the siege, and the other part attacked westward, hoping to open the passage to Aaron as soon as possible.

However, he clearly underestimated the determination of the Rhodoks to resist. Under normal circumstances, when an army is defeated, it can basically be judged to be wiped out, after all, it is extremely difficult to reorganize deserters, especially if these soldiers are still from different lords. However, what he didn't expect was that almost all the main cadres of the Northern Army were Viruga. The Rhodok soldiers are cowardly, but who can be indifferent when they see their hometown looted?

As a result, instead of scattering and fleeing, these routs regrouped into a five-man combat squad in the city of Viruga, relying on their familiarity with the terrain to constantly attack the Swadia occupation forces. At first, Count Harungus was unimpressed, thinking that these stragglers were not to be feared at all, and when the inner city was breached, they would naturally surrender. However, the inner city has not yet been defeated, and vicious incidents such as arson, camping, attacking, and poisoning have occurred frequently, and the losses are not small, and the morale of the army, which has finally stabilized, has floated again. In desperation, Harungoth had no choice but to draw some from the besieging troops to maintain law and order.

Unfortunately, the main force he sent to open the road to the west was ambushed in the mountains and forests, and the heavy losses were exhausted, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the remnants of the army had to flee back to Virugatu for the aftermath. In this way, the main force of Svadia was still dragged in Viruga and could not move, and the situation did not seem to have changed at all.

Mu flipped through the battle report, and was very satisfied with the battle situation on the front line, since he couldn't move in Viruga, then don't move, he didn't want any accidents on this good cruise.

He put this battle report aside, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, it is indeed not an easy task to read on horseback, however, these urgent information must be dealt with quickly, as the so-called once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, because of the wrong information almost starved to death on the street Mu will naturally attach great importance to this aspect, so even if he endured the pain in his eyes, he still picked up the next document.

"Wow, interesting. He took a quick look at it, gathered all the papers together, and rode forward a few steps to catch up with Princess Azona's warhorse.

"Your Royal Highness Princess," Mu waved the paper in his hand, "the latest information." ”

"Well, give it to me. She took the document, but after just one glance, her eyes were dazzled by the small words on it, "Hmm," she tucked the document back into Mu's hand, "Tell me about it briefly." ”

"Yes. Mu cleared his throat, "On the Rhodok side, Harengus suffered a small loss, but it has not changed in general, but it is lively in the north. He flipped through the papers, confirmed a few place names, and continued, "The Kujit army laid siege to Fort Kerrydan and sacked Childe and Biglen. However, at the most critical juncture of the siege war, a Virgian unit inexplicably scolded the reinforcements that Kugit was rushing to the front line, resulting in the failure of the siege battle. It is said that Saiga Khan was so angry that he abandoned the castle of Kerrydan and attacked Virgia instead, and Count Reys escaped with a tiger's mouth. ”

"The Virgians attacked the Kugit reserves, and why?" said Isona, who was a little puzzled.

"I don't understand," Mu unabashedly, "but Rodden-Ross has mobilized his men in Virgia and Koujit, and it must be very interesting if it develops." "You... Aisona was a little speechless at the strange taste of the merchant, "Anything else?"

"This news is even more exciting," Mu said, "Do you remember Lady N'Greid of Nord, the one who fought you for a few years and was known as Princess Lily." ”

"Remember," Asona missed, "I've had drinks with her, and she's a pretty bold woman." ”

"That's right, it was this 'pretty bold woman' who raided Fort Repalet and took possession of it. ”

"This can't be!" said Esona. Just as no Norde knew Swadia better than Engrede, no Ryordian knew the Nord better than Asona. Of course, she knew about the blizzard that was now raging in Nord's territory, and she also knew that now that Nord was in civil strife, it was impossible to risk sending an army large enough to attack the city and plunder the land, and she also knew how strong the city defense of Rebolite was, and how strong the army in the city was. After all, it was her idea to encourage the children of the nobles to go there to gild, and she didn't care at all about the eldest young masters who hadn't even killed chickens, but the guards that their parents had equipped them with were a force to be reckoned with.

"What the hell is going on, Sweden is also a capable minister under Harlaus, how can he lose Fort Repolet like this?"

"Sweden was not in his domain at the time, and it was his confidant, Baron Snooden, who defended the city. Mu replied, "He seems to have accidentally let a Nord army into the city, and as a result, it was bloomed by the center." ”

"Let a Nord army into the city?" said Asona, who was teasing me, "How is this possible?"

Mu shrugged, "I don't know the specific battle situation, my people didn't dare to have too much contact with the soldiers who fled back, for fear of revealing their identities." ”

Aisona rubbed her temples, feeling tired inexplicably, "Even if the baron is a straw bag, what about the other nobles, I remember that now is a good time to earn qualifications." ”

That's right, the most ferocious offensive of the Nords at the end of autumn has ended, and then there is a snowstorm in the north, and the Nord army can't be dispatched at all, and those stragglers who can't stand the autumn wind are in vain.

"It is said that the Nords launched a night attack," Mu replied, flipping through the papers, "and they released the captives, and then barricaded the nobles in the barracks and killed them." ”

"What?" Aisona had already participated in the renovation of the castle itself, so she naturally thought of what was going on, "What about the guards of the barracks, I remember that there was a charter that stipulated that the soldiers who lived in that barracks should take turns guarding the dungeon!" She looked up suddenly, but saw Mu's confused face, and then remembered that the merchant was not familiar with Fort Repoleet, so she smiled wryly, and changed the subject, "There are so many noble descendants who died in the territory, and that baron is dead." ”

Mu Wenyan said, "That's not necessarily. ”

"Why, isn't this the same as that knight from Uxhall?"

"It's different," he shook his head, "the commander guarding Fort Repolet is a baron, with a fief and power, and can pull out a decent army as the lord to whom he is allegiated, and must find a way to save his life even for the sake of his own power." ”

"And knights are just knights, just a martial artist, no power, no territory, no money, although they are nobles, even a baron will not take them seriously, especially a knight like Drey, who is promoted by military merit, has no family backing, and it is almost impossible to move an inch in the circle of nobles, so he is worried about being retaliated against by other nobles. ”

"Is it as bad as you say?" said Asona, tucking her sideburns that had been blown away by the mountain breeze with her iron-gloved hand, "I felt that the knights' lives were okay when I led the troops." ”

"You're a serving knight, and you're a direct vassal of the princess, who dares to be presumptuous. Mu pouted, "Besides, if the knights' lives were so good, how could it be possible to pull so many people at once when the blood peak was established?"

"yes. Aisona nodded.

"Wait a minute," Mu seemed to suddenly think of something, "So, Gruenward won't fight this idea, right?"

"What's the idea?" this time it was the princess's turn to be confused.

"You think, Fort Repolet isn't more important than Uxhall. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Then if Sweden knows to send a baron to guard the castle, why is it only a knight who guards Uxhall?"

"At that time, the war on the Rhodok side was in a stalemate, and a large number of troops were urgently needed to open up the situation. The princess replied, "I didn't expect us to attack Uxhall." ”

"That's right, so when the city defense is seriously insufficient, he still only sends one knight to command the defense of the city, don't you think it's strange?"

"There is a shortage of manpower, the main force has gone to Rhodok, is there anything strange?"

"This is a point," Mu nodded, "You think about it from another angle, during this time, Uxhall didn't have an accident, and the credit after the war must be Gruenward, even if something goes wrong, there is also that unlucky knight as a scapegoat, I wonder if he is playing this idea." ”

"Treacherous. Asona said angrily.

Mu shrugged, the nobleman who was not treacherous had already gone to see Merando.

"I'm going to be in Norma soon, and I'm going to spend the night there tonight. Mu glanced at the endless mountain road, "This morning Fatis has written to inform them that they are ready. ”

"Well, you can arrange it. ”
