Chapter 12: Sending troops to stop the attack
Four days after the retreat of Bretan's army from Ziyang City, a reinforcement of 60,000 men arrived, and this army was a territorial army sent by Tieliu City and Yushan City, which were located behind Ziyang City. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, this reinforcement army came too late, the Bretan army had already withdrawn from Ziyang City four days ago, and the lord of Ziyang City, Levin Nolan, with only 30,000 territorial troops, held the city wall under the onslaught of 100,000 Bretan troops. Of course, this also paid a considerable price, and in this defensive battle, the Purple Sun City Territory Army suffered more than half of the casualties.
In the council hall of the Lord's Mansion of Purple Sun City, Marquis Lewin, the lord of Purple Sun City, sat above the council hall, and on the left side of the council hall sat a yellow-haired man with two mustaches, this yellow-haired man of about thirty years old was Emmons Gerry, the second son of Philip Gerry, the lord of Ironstream City, and behind Emmons stood a knight in black armor.
And on the right side of the council hall sat a middle-aged man with a full beard, this middle-aged man was the younger brother of Marquis Barlow, the lord of Yushan City, the Count of Marama. Maramo and Emmons arrived with 60,000 territorial troops to support Jade Mountain City, which was attacked by Bretan's army.
However, four days before the arrival of this reinforcement army, the Bretan army had already retreated from Ziyang City, and the Marquis of Lewin held Ziyang City with his 30,000 territorial troops under the onslaught of 100,000 Brettans.
"Lord Lewin, Lord Maramo, since the Bretan army wants to cross the Sky Dome Mountains and rush to the defense line of Van Heart Lake in the south, then I propose to lead the army to stop this Bretan army in the Sky Dome Mountain Range. Emmons Gerry, who was sitting on the left side of the council chamber, spoke.
"Lord Lewin, I agree with Lord Emmons, Lord Emmons and I have led our army to Ziyang City, but we haven't even seen the shadow of the Bretans, we must fight these bastards who invaded the Kingdom of Gilgias. Mallamo said, looking at the Marquis of Lewin above the council chamber.
"This Bretan army failed to capture Ziyang City, but still had to make a great effort to cross the Heavenly Dome Mountains to the southern defense line of Fanxin Lake, and I suspect that the enemy commander, Voncis Varuan, must have given this army some task. Lewin, who was sitting above, touched his beard and said.
"I have no objection to leading the army to the Heavenly Dome Mountain Range to stop this Bretan army, but Lord Emmons, Lord Maramo, you need to know that even if this Bretan army suffers under Ziyang City, they still retain tens of thousands of troops..."
"Lord Lewin, the enemy has traveled a long way into the Kingdom of Gilgias, and the strong attack on Ziyang City not only failed to capture but suffered heavy losses, the enemy's morale must be low, and the Sky Dome Mountain Range is densely forested, and the road is difficult, if we lead our army to stop the enemy, even if we can't completely destroy this Bretan army, we can at least thwart this enemy's plan to go south to flank the defense line of Fanxin Lake..."
After listening to Emmons's words, Lewin pondered for a moment, "Well, Your Excellency Emmons' analysis is very reasonable, then please ask Your Excellency Emmons and Your Excellency Malamo to lead the army to the Sky Dome Mountain Range to stop this Bretan army, and our Ziyang City will also send 10,000 territorial troops to accompany the two of you." Levin said.
"Thank you, Lord Lewin, for your support, we will defeat this Brettan army in the Sky Dome Mountain this time..."
Soon after, Emmons, the commander of the Ironstream City Territory Army, and Maramo, the commander of the Jade Mountain City Territory Army, walked out of the Purple Sun City Lord's Mansion.
"Your Excellency Emmons, since we are going to lead an army to stop this Bretan army, then act as soon as possible, and I will first go to the barracks to gather the troops of Yushan City. Outside the Lord's Mansion, Mallamo spoke to Emmons Gerry.
"Yes, Lord Earl, it will be a great success if we can defeat the Bretan army this time, and when the war is over, His Majesty will reward us..."
"Haha, Lord Emmons can take on such a big responsibility at a young age, it seems that Lord Philip is already planning to make Lord Emmons the next lord of Ironstream City. Maramo said with a smile.
When Mallamo left, Emmons mounted his horse with the black-armored knight who had been with him and headed for the barracks outside the city.
"Lord Emmons, I've heard... The commander of this Bretan army in the Sky Dome is likely to be Reton of the Bretan Kingdom. The black-armored knight, who was walking alongside Emmons, spoke.
"Lieton? Hmph, even if he can't lead an army of 100,000 to even attack Ziyang City, the Winged Tiger Lieton is just in vain. Emmons said with a disdainful look on his face. "Gruja, although I don't know why this Bretan army had to rush to the southern defense line of Fanxin Lake, from a strategic point of view, crossing the Sky Dome Mountain Range is a great failure. Emmons said to the black-armored knight beside him.
"The roads of the Heavenly Dome Mountain Range are rugged, the mountains and forests are dense, this Brettan army will have to walk for at least half a month to come out in it, which will give us the best chance to defeat them, the Bretan people came from afar, paid a heavy price but failed to capture Ziyang City, and now we have to work hard to cross the Sky Dome Mountain Range, as long as we grasp the opportunity, we will definitely be able to annihilate this enemy army, this time I will capture the Two-Winged Flying Tiger of the Brettan Kingdom..."
Looking at Emmons Gerry beside him, the face of the black-armored knight showed a trace of worry, this black-armored knight is named Gruya, Grua holds the position of the city defense officer of Tieliu City, and is a very trusted subordinate of Philip, the lord of Tieliu City, this time Tieliu City sent the territory army to rescue Ziyang City, and Philip asked Grua to assist his son Emmons.
Philip Gerry, the lord of Ironstream City, has two sons, Emmons Gerry is the second son, Philip likes this younger son very much, Philip is old, and wants to determine his heir, Philip promised Emmons that as long as Emmons can make a contribution in the war this time, then Emmons will be the next lord of Ironstream City.
Emmons is desperate to show on the battlefield, which is exactly what Grua is worried about, the "Winged Flying Tiger" Lieton is a famous general of the Bretan Kingdom, but Emmons is very contemptuous of Lieton, thinking that people who can't even capture Ziyang City will definitely not be their opponents.
――――――――――――――
In a mansion in Ziyang City, Bogula took his younger brother Meng Fan from the church to the mansion that Marquis Levin had allocated to him to live.
"Your Excellency, we've bought all the food and drinks. Parker and Golding entered the house with a large pile of food and drink, Golding was a soldier in the 7th Battalion of the Territory Army of Purple Sun City, and after Bogura helped Golding heal his leg wound, Golding came to Bogura's side as an attendant.
"Come on, you're starving. Meng Fan, who was sitting at the table, patted the table with his hand and said, Now that Meng Fan's body has recovered, his appetite has returned.
"Tap, Claude, don't slap your hand again. Bogula, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile, looking at his right hand with two fingers missing, "Alas, this light magic is different from the one in the game, why can't I restore my hand perfectly?" Meng Fan said with a sigh.
"What are you talking about, Claude?" asked Parker, who was standing aside as he took the food out of the bag, "Well, I... I mean, this light magic is different from what I thought, I thought it could restore my severed finger as well." Meng Fan hurriedly said.
"Light magic only has the effect of healing and blessing, and miracles such as rebirth and resurrection of the dead do not happen. Bogula looked at Meng Fan and said, "Isn't there any magic in this world that makes my palm complete?" Alas, my right hand is crippled without two fingers. Meng Fan said with a bitter face.
"Dark magic seems to do. Parker whispered, "Dark magic?" Meng Fan looked up at Parker, in the memory of Claude, the original owner of the body occupied by Meng Fan, there was indeed dark magic on the Qinglan Continent that was opposed to light magic.
