The mainland is still turbulent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Allen's little defenders were no match for Harlaus' elite troops, so, even with all their might, they still lost the city little by little. However, Aaron's lord, the veteran Rhodok veteran Getteras, was also a ruthless man, and seeing that the city was about to fall, he simply did nothing, burned all the resources in the castle's warehouse, and then fled with his cronies.

So, when Harlaus saw the smoky warehouse, his face turned black as ink, especially after the scout told him that the flotilla at the anchorage had been attacked. His troops could be said to have run out of ammunition and food after defeating Aaron, but the supply lines at sea could not be counted on, and the supplies in Aaron's city were also burned, so that he had to mobilize his soldiers to "hunt", fortunately, the villages around Aaron were still rich, otherwise, nearly a thousand of his soldiers would probably starve to death here. Therefore, if it were not for the so-called aristocratic cultivation, the familiar scene in the palace study would have been repeated in the strange land of Rhodok.

When the news reached Rhodock, King Griffos burst out laughing three times, and cried out in retribution. Harlaus's soldiers, though numerous, were alone, with no supplies and no backups, and sooner or later they would be crushed to death on Rhodok's territory. At the same time, the scouts of the southern front had discovered that the main forces of Salander had left Fort Garmicchi, but instead of advancing towards Djerkhala, they had bypassed the Rhodok mountains and advanced deeper into the mainland. Therefore, King Graves, who was relieved, personally led the main force of the Southern Army to return to the direction of Aaron, intending to make a break with the old opponent next door.

As for the Swadia side, this news was definitely like a bolt from the blue, and the troops attacking Viruga fought desperately for several days without losing money, hoping to quickly take the fortress and rescue His Majesty the King from deep enemy formation. However, the enemy was more resolute in his defense, and it was clear that the same news was obtained. So much so that the Svadia soldiers paid a huge number of casualties, but the fortress still stood.

When it rained overnight, the vanished Salander army suddenly appeared at Fort Gruenward, and engaged in a skirmish with the Craggs Ministry, who were not working under the city. However, Harungus soon received a letter from Kraggs, saying that the above-mentioned encounter with Salander's main army, fierce battles, heavy losses, retreat and other nonsense, and then, Kraggs's army withdrew all the way to Abbron.

At this point, however, Harungus only knew that Craggs had retreated, and that Fort Gruenwald was about to fall to the Salanders. Actually, Fort Gruenwald doesn't matter to Swadia, just send someone to watch and don't let the enemy forces inside move. However, the shameless old thief of Kraggs actually withdrew like this, leaving the back of the main Svadian army to the Salanders, which was not possible!However, the army attacking Viruga could not be weakened, so he could only order the Earl of Gruenward of Uxhall to rush to support. Gruenward, who was guarding Uxhall, received the order and immediately began to deploy his troops. As one of the main forces of the lord faction, he naturally knew how grim the form was. It can be said that Haraus is the lifeblood of the lord faction, except for a few irons, the other lords almost follow him because of Harlaus's strength and interests. Once he has three strengths and two weaknesses, the lord faction is estimated to fall apart immediately. Coupled with the fact that Harlaus does not have an orthodox heir, when something really happens, eighty percent of them will cause a nationwide unrest because of the inheritance dispute, and the oil bottles of the royal power have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

However, there is one thing he is still not worried about, in order to have the strength to fight in the face of Salander's main army, most of the garrisons in the city have to be transferred, and the reinforcements from Aberon are estimated to be because of the Kugit attack, and they have not arrived for a long time, and the messengers sent have not returned, and the remaining little troops are used to guard the city wall, which is really difficult for some strong men. So, the Earl of Gruenward fell into a deep annoyance.

"My lord, I have an idea. Knight Dre stood straight in front of Gruenward and said proudly.

"Say it. ”

"We can use mercenaries outside the city. The knight straightened his chest and said, "The next batch of reinforcements should be on the way, so we just need to hire those mercenaries and hold on for a few days." It's just a few days, and when reinforcements arrive, they will be fired, and it shouldn't cost much. ”

"Makes sense. Gruenward nodded, "Have you considered the 'Bloodblade', they should have returned to Svadia long ago." Alleyne has the support of Rodon Ross behind him, and the mercenaries under the city can also be their reserve source. ”

"It's unlikely, my lord. The knight smiled and said, "Who would want to fight a city that no one has taken for hundreds of years? With the protection of the city walls, no matter how strong the 'Blood Front' and the remaining rabble are, they can't shake our defenses. ”

"Well, that makes sense. The Count nodded with satisfaction, and said earnestly, "Then Uxhall will leave it to you, and when the war is over, I think there will be no problem with the title of a baron." ”

The knight was overjoyed and bowed deeply, "Don't worry, my lord. ”

。。。

Somewhere in the White Pine Forest, a group of Kugits led their horses to another group of soldiers in blood-dripping sword robes.

"Good work, Ms. Bethel. The leading knight greeted.

"Tell your boss that you're not dishonored. The Kugit woman at the front of the queue replied, "None of the messengers made it to Uxhall alive, and they don't know what happened to Eberon now." ”

"Thank you, your help is so important. The knight bowed.

"I'm also for the hostess. Beti'er said lightly, but suddenly smiled again, "Plus I have a good relationship with that kid." ”

For the soldiers of Svadia, the turn of the tide of battle left them quite confused. Yesterday they were confident and ready to besiege Viruga with His Majesty the King, but today they will risk their lives to attack the city, which makes the soldiers a little uncomfortable for a while. Although the nobles with the troops tried their best to block the news, all kinds of rumors gradually spread among the crowd... The king's troops are coming to an end.

The first to stir up were the unruly barons and knights, who were also victims of the collapse of the Kallad Empire. The main effect of the collapse of the empire was that most of the territory was reduced, and a large number of nobles lost their fiefs as a result, and some of the stronger ones were okay, and through annexation, marriage got another territory, but the rest, most of them were left with a lonely title. Next, if the son and grandson have no ability, they can only inherit this lonely title. Therefore, although they are nobles, they are only glamorous in appearance, and some even have four walls, and they can't even save face. As the bottom of the low-level aristocracy of Swadia, although they are quite numerous, they have little power and have no influence on the political form of the kingdom, so neither the royal power nor the lords are very fond of them. The reason why they came to participate in this war was simply that Swadia had a good chance of winning, and hoped to restore the glory of the family through the war exploits. Now, the tide of battle has suddenly taken a turn for the worse, and they are naturally full of complaints.

Then, it was the nobles of the royal power who took advantage of this commotion to start doing things. They were originally high-ranking nobles, but under the suppression of the lord faction, they were demoted, and they were relegated, so they naturally hated Haraus. Coupled with the sudden retreat of Kragus, this gave these unlucky nobles a signal, that is, the royal power faction and the lord faction had torn their faces, so they naturally would not let go of the opportunity to give the lord faction a hard blow.

And King Harlaus's distress itself was a major blow to the lords. The four Counts of Harengoth, Tersweden, Gruenwald, and Claes relied solely on the king's trust to hold power, and although they were the king's cronies, many lords did not buy it. And they felt that this was also a good opportunity to bring down the four heavenly kings.

And the biggest headache is these four heavenly kings. In addition to the Harungoth and Te Swedish families themselves, the other two are all relying on the power of the king to have their current influence. Therefore, when the king was in deep danger, Harengoth and Gruenward, who were on the front line, naturally tried their best to attack the city, hoping to open a way to save the king, but due to various delays, the siege has not been effective. Let's talk about Craggs's side. Instead of returning straight to Suno, he led his troops into the "ownerless" city of Alberon and forcibly occupied it, taking over the training and reorganization of all recruits and the supply of supplies. Then, all the troops that were originally intended to come to the aid of the front line of Uxhall and Fort Kerrydan were recruited, and the city was fortified and moved out as if it could not be defended.

Seeing the news, Count Reyce tore the letter in his hand to shreds, and he knew that he had no choice. Kraggs, who was now his rival, would never come to his aid for a single grain of wheat. So, at the moment of the rising sun, the Count of Reys ordered the siege of the city.

Saiga Khan didn't understand all this, and when he heard the news, he couldn't help but be furious, and quickly declared war on Svadia. The Nayan people are gearing up and mobilizing their tribes to prepare for war. They're all staring at Fort Lundia. Although this fortress is still garrisoned by the Ryordian people, the soldiers there have long been overwhelmed by the cut off of supply lines, and in the eyes of the wolves of the steppe, this is simply a piece of fat on the side of the mouth.

And just when the other Nayan was preparing for battle, Almaty, who had long been angry, led his father's and Tuan's troops to prepare early, and before the others could react, they raided the Lentia Fort. In the castle, the soldiers who had been without food for a long time naturally had no power to resist, and the battle did not take long to come to an end.

Na Yan knew that the two families who had just married might become their strongest competitors, but they didn't expect that before the competition began, there would already be results. And Saiga Khan either showed favor to the two families who married, or also recognized the merits of this young Nayan, and did not make much fuss, and also gave Lendiya Fort to Almaty, which also made him directly the youngest of the real power Nayan of the Kugit Khanate. Of course, Kugit is only secondary, and the real battlefield is still Uxhall.

In the white pine forest, in front of the knight princess, the straight riding spear pointed straight at the sky, as if it had become another forest. The bright red robes hid the cold light of the armor, but the blood-red color made them look even more solemn. Columns of knights lined up in a neat line, leading equally heavily armed horses, ready to go.

Behind the princess, too, was a neat phalanx, but it looked looser than the knight in front of her. However, the soldiers here did not carry mounted spears like their comrades, except for simple armor, only a round shield and a battle axe. Underneath the open helmet are relatively delicate faces, which are an all-female army.

"Boss Mu doesn't seem to be able to catch up. Fatis glanced at his soldiers, leaned into the princess's ear, and whispered, "However, the scout has reported that the army stationed in Uxhall has left, and now is the best time, we... ”

"I know. The princess nodded, slung her sword to the ground, and shouted to the knights in front of her

"Knights, soldiers. ”

With these words, the slightly resounding array in the ground instantly disappeared at all, and everyone looked directly at the girl standing on the boulder.

"I am the owner of this land, the rightful heir of the kingdom of Svadia, and the only son of the former king Eastreich, Azona. ”

There was still no sound from the array, and Asona took a deep breath and continued, "I think everyone is wondering why I am standing here, after all, in the royal propaganda, I have already died in the assassination of the Rhodoks. ”

She paused, and there was some anger in her voice, "But, all this is a conspiracy! The shameless puppet king planned this rebellion in order to take the throne from my father, and killed his monarch with his own hands! And I, under the protection of my guards, were lucky enough to save this life." ”

"You are all Suno, the noblest inhabitants of Calradia. So, what happened next, I don't want to repeat it. Even though the princess didn't say it explicitly, a little sadness began to spread through the ranks. It is true that Haraus has been persecuting the royal nobles, but in order to fill the empty treasury, he can go far beyond the royal nobles.

"And today," Asona raised her clenched fists, "we will declare war on the puppet king, take back our land, restore our honor, wash away our grievances, and restore royal legitimacy!"

"And now, you will go with me to the battlefield of honor, and we will do something that no army has done in hundreds of years, and we will break through the blood-red walls and shatter the myth of Uxhall's invincibility!"

"Soldiers, don't worry! Now, righteousness is in hand, and we will win!"

"Now, the whole army is attacking, target, Uxhall!"

With a bang, the knights' procession turned neatly and marched towards the blood-stained fortress.
