Eventually, Solmende met Goliath, a group of aristocratic ladies sitting together drinking spirits, discussing how handsome the boy of the family in the imperial capital was, which middle-aged nobleman was in good health, and discussing the latest fashion trends and some budding craftsmen. www.biquge.info Of course, the most talked about is the gossip among the nobles, whether it is true or false, it will always make this group of drunken little girls believe it is true, and echo their own exclamations.

It's one of the few pleasures they have left, after all, it's always a ...... where men dominate the world.

Even the Empress of Pars was powerless in the face of the accusations and invective of the old-fashioned nobles.

The sudden appearance of Asomend startled the ladies in the room who were sharing their secrets with each other. Realizing that there were no men and nothing out of the ordinary, Assomend quickly regained his composure, apologized for his rude behavior, and offered some valuable gifts as an apology for the rude behavior of the disturbing ladies.

Men are always humble and courteous in front of the opposite sex, and hormones dominate men of this age, as well as women. In the face of many compliments and some inexplicable envy, jealousy and hatred, Goliath seemed to be somewhat happy.

The girl's social circle is not pure, and it will not be pure in the future. While everyone is smiling and welcoming people, they are also secretly comparing themselves with each other. From the power and status of the family, to the personal jewelry and face, the husband is also a category they compare.

Asomende has a very good reputation in the entire Orlando Empire, in the eyes of everyone this is a self-disciplined man, with the virtue of humility, and the most important thing is that he will inherit the title of Grand Duke of Joan of Arc and become the king of the future principality, and there will be no risk of competition, which is the highest goal pursued by almost all noble girls. The envy and jealousy in these eyes made Goliath a little fluttering, she didn't know much about Assomende, and she had obviously resigned herself to her marriage.

From the day she was not canonized by Empress Pars and driven out of the imperial capital, she understood that she would be used as a commodity in a political transaction. It's actually not bad to be able to marry Assomende, and she will be a queen in the future anyway.

Celeste sat next to Goliath, and she said flattering things, all from the heart. She knew that she couldn't take over Wren, not to mention that there was an Aphro in the house, and Helen who came to fool around with Wren from time to time, but compared to these women who could not pose any threat to her, Golia's threat was too great.

Fortunately, she will stay away from Wren, thank God, thank God for His mercy!

After meeting Goliath, Assomend did not want to stay, so he changed his mind about going to the north slowly, and decided to join the battlefield as quickly as possible, solve all these things as soon as possible, and marry Golia.

He really didn't worry about Wren, nor did he worry about Queen Pars, this question involved a man's dignity and decency, plus he was somewhat suspicious, the only way was to get married as soon as possible.

He didn't notice that there were several people hanging behind them from a distance. Maybe they didn't notice what was going on behind them because they were in a hurry, or maybe they thought that no one in the empire dared to do anything to Asomend, so they didn't care even if they knew.

In short, they were just being targeted, targeted by Wren's people.

For more than ten days, Assomnd led his men into the northern battlefield, and they had already chosen their target before they set out, a small city with about 6,000 troops. In fact, from the perspective of the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc, the 3,000 elite cavalry under her command were enough to attack a medium-sized city with a scale of 10,000 soldiers.

At most, fifteen hundred cavalry can break through the city, which is why Grand Duke Joan of Arc can single-handedly suppress the northwestern part of the empire - too strong.

The city was close in front of him, and the city wall about twenty meters or so was crowded with dense human heads, and Assomend's eyesight was good, and he could see the nervous expressions on the faces of these people from a distance. He waved his horsewhip and pointed at the people in the city and said with a smile to the servants beside him: "Before they have any contact, they have begun to be afraid and nervous, which shows that these people have lost their fighting spirit, and it doesn't take much effort to defeat them if they take this city." ”

The servants beside him nodded repeatedly, this was indeed the case, and the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc had made a perfect plan before they left. Start with a small city, then two medium-sized cities, and once three cities are conquered, they can be provided with at least three thousand to five thousand or so soldiers. Combined with the remaining elite knights, it was enough for them to conquer a large city, which was not only a simple northern expedition, but also a process used by Grand Duke Joan of Arc to accelerate the growth of Athomende.

She clearly felt that her energy, physical strength, and brain power were not as good as before due to her age and the trauma she had suffered. She had to help her child on the road before she was completely unconscious or died. She didn't need Assomnd to be as invincible as Grace, the invincible god of war, as long as he could keep the title and fief he had left him, it was enough.

The Grand Duke is the pinnacle of the title, and beyond that is the rebellion. The Grand Duke of Joan of Arc did not want Assomende to rebel, only hoped that he would be able to keep it.

In fact, there are some shocking secrets that are not well known, but the Grand Duke of Joan of Arc intends to take these secrets with him and bury them forever in the earth.

Wood cut down nearby was quickly assembled on the core of the car, and ten brand-new cartons appeared outside the walls of the small city. Although this world is still in the age of cold weapons for various reasons, the situation and method of war are completely different from the way cold weapon wars are conducted on the earth.

On Earth, the main force of the battle is often infantry, and the infantry does not need to control any mounts, only a ladder or a few hooks to attack the high walls. This is indeed the most cost-effective way, but it is also the hardest way. The golden juice, that is, boiled feces and urine, sassal wood, boulders, and fire oil, was enough for a large number of infantry to become fertilizer to nourish the weeds under the city walls.

But in this world, the main force of the battle is the knights on the boarding vehicles, as well as the hoplites.

Once the knights and hoplites rushed to the top of the city wall through the ramp of the boarding car, it meant that the countdown to the destruction of the city began. The knights who cut back and forth can sweep away all the enemy forces on the walls, allowing the siege troops to climb the walls in a steady stream.

The strength of the Moon Worship Army under the command of Grand Duke Joan of Arc ranks among the top ten among all the cavalry regiments in the entire Orlando Empire, and for such a small war, many knights don't even think so.

Yes, there is no such thing as a war without casualties, and it seemed to them that such a small city and a group of soldiers who had lost their courage and fighting spirit might be enough to attack it at the cost of less than a hundred men.

When Assomnd nodded slightly, and the heralds waved their huge banners, the knights pulled down their armor, checked the short weapons they carried in their saddles, and began the siege. Ten caravans marched side by side, and from the moment the long slope of the caravans hit the city wall, ten knights had already rushed up the ramp. They held short spears shorter than the knight's spears, and in the blink of an eye they had reached the end of the ramp and leaped high.

With a loud bang, the first war horse carrying the knight landed on the city wall, the war horse crushed the two people, and the short spear in the knight's hand also pierced a soldier who was about to cut off the horse's leg beside him. He casually let go of the short spear, took out a double-edged long sword of about 1.2 meters from the weapon rack by the saddle, and waved it in his hand. He slashed some people, but eventually fell off his horse because he couldn't protect it, and the horse was pierced.

The moment he fell, the sky above his head seemed to have become much darker, more than a dozen long swords fell at the same time, he rolled with his head and wanted to dodge, but unfortunately there were too many enemies around, and in less than three or five seconds, he was stabbed into a hedgehog.

This scene continues to reincarnate, but at the same time, the number of war horses still standing on the city wall has also increased, from the initial five or six war horses gathered together, until more than twenty war horses began to chisel through for the first time, the whole process took less than half an hour.

Assomnd clenched his fists, a smile rising from the corners of his mouth, the city has been conquered!

And the fact is indeed as he imagined, a large number of knights climbed the wall, the defender of the city was driven down, and it took about ten minutes for the city gate to be slowly hoisted, and more than 2,000 knights outside the city quickly poured into the city gate in an orderly manner, entering the city.

The entire siege took less than two hours, and the lords of the city surrendered.

It's so easy!

Assomander said to his servants that, in his opinion, this was not an evenly matched war at all, but a trick of adults bullying children. He stepped into the city with Hu Cong as a victor, watching the baron prostrate at his feet, at this moment, an unprecedented pleasure rose rapidly, and he felt his body and soul tremble!

"Behead him, plant the family flag on the head of the city, and tell everyone that from today onwards, from this moment on, everything here belongs to me!"

The lord almost collapsed to the ground and shouted loudly in a sharp voice, "You can't do this, I'm a nobleman, I declare my power, the charter of the empire allows me to buy my life with gold......"

Asomend glanced at him, sneered and stretched out his index finger to draw on his neck, and the knight behind the lord waved his long sword expressionlessly, and a head rose to the sky!
