Chapter 369: The Shame of the Grand Duke

Three days later, the dusty Grand Duke of Fisabrun and his party entered the barracks of the 3rd Frontier Ranger Regiment deployed on the main communication route of the Southern Province. After a little grooming www.biquge.info Grand Duke Fisabrun, despite the exhaustion of running for his life day and night, ordered his soldiers to blow the horn to convene the officers. Faced with the family knights and officers of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun told them a grim truth: we were attacked by the four alliances of the Northlands, the first frontier rangers were probably finished, the city of Windbury was lost, and the third frontier rangers would soon face an attack by the forces of the four alliance families in the north......

The knights of the Fisaburun family and the legions of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment in the Great Tent suddenly made an uproar, either shouting for revenge with righteous indignation or worrying about the combat effectiveness of the armed forces of the four alliance families in the Northland, after all, the First Frontier Ranger Legion is fully established, and its combat power ranks among the top three in the family legion, and it can be wiped out by the family forces of the four alliances in the Northland, so it is conceivable how powerful the Third Frontier Ranger Legion, which is not as strong as the First Frontier Ranger Legion, will face.

The Grand Duke of Fisabrun didn't explain why he had fled from the royal city of Windbury with only a few dozen men, he just gave orders one after another in an orderly manner. First of all, it is necessary to gather the whole army, recruit back those who patrol along the roads, strengthen the protective facilities of the barracks, build and strengthen the wall, set up guard towers and arrow towers, dig ditches and deep trenches, reserve all kinds of military supplies, and make good preparations for battle.

Secondly, they immediately sent scout light cavalry and spies to Winston Province to investigate the movements of the four alliances in the Northland, collect the scattered family soldiers, and find a way to find out the whereabouts of the First Frontier Ranger Regiment. If, as Lorist said, the First Frontier Ranger Regiment is finished, then the spies must also find out the real reason why the First Frontier Ranger Regiment was completely wiped out. The most important thing is to find out the purpose of the four alliances in the Northland, as well as the size and scale of their family forces, etc.

The third order was to send an envoy to the four central principalities for help, and the Grand Duke of Fisabrun said to the envoy that the Kingdom of Iberia had been attacked by a coalition of Northland nobles led by Norton Lorlist, Grand Duke of the Northland of the Kingdom of Antinac, and that the province of Winston and the royal city of Windbri had fallen, and that the Grand Duke of Fisabrun led his family to resist in the Southern Province. It's just that the enemy is strong, and the Fisabrun family forces can only barely support the battle situation. Once the southern provinces also fall under the control of the enemy, the Grand Duke can only return to the family territory with the family arms in order to protect himself, and it is unknown whether the Northern Grand Duke will turn to attack the four central principalities.

The greatest problem in the Central Four Duchy is the king of the Kingdom of Antinac, Ogseero, the heir to the former Cresson Empire, who was once known as the Second Highness, and will never forgive the betrayal of the Central Four. The four Grand Dukes of the Central Four Duchy are well aware of this, and in their eyes, the four major families of the Northland, who can re-put the Second Highness who lost the throne on the throne of the King of Antinac, are definitely the diehards of the Second Highness, and once they border the power of the four major families of the Northland, it is conceivable that the alliance of the four Northlands that can destroy the Principality of Madras and the Kingdom of Iberia will definitely point their troops at the Central Four Duchies.

The Grand Duke of Fisabrun was not sure that the Four Alliances of the Northlands would have the same heart as the Second Highness, in his eyes, Lorist was not so loyal to the Antinac Kingdom, otherwise he would not have fought on the front line of the Kingdom of Redlis under the Second Highness, but the Norton family armed went all the way to the Hanea Bada Islands to destroy the slave kingdom to avenge the attack on their own territory. With the strength of the four major families in the Northland, as long as they stand on the side of the Second Highness, the Second Highness will not be usurped by his niece.

However, this suspicion did not prevent the Grand Duke of Fisabrun from using this as an excuse to blackmail the Central Four Duchyes into providing support to the Fisabrun family, the most obvious being that the Central Four Duchyes would definitely not want to border the border line of the Andinac Kingdom, which would never be peaceful. It is better to have the Fisabrun family armed in the Southern Province and the four alliances of the Northlands than to be beaten into the territory of the four principalities in the middle by the four alliances of the Northlands.

Therefore, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun was not polite, in addition to asking the envoy to go to the four central principalities to ask for troops to come to support, he also opened his mouth to offer a huge amount of military and living material assistance. His Royal Highness the Grand Duke is very sure that the Grand Dukes of the Central Four Duchy will seriously consider their own requirements, in fact, even if they get half of the amount of aid, His Royal Highness the Grand Duke will be satisfied, anyway, they are all asking for a sky-high price, of course, they have to allow the Central Four Duchy to land and repay the money.

After sending envoys to the four central principalities, the next order of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun was to transfer troops and send generals, in addition to ordering the reserve regiment that was originally scheduled to rush to the royal city of Windbrie within this month to come to the southern province to join him, he also ordered the Fifth Frontier Ranger Regiment that had just been formed in the Eastern Wilderness Province to rush to the southern province to increase the number of troops that could be commanded in his hands, and as for the defense of the Eastern Wilderness Province, it could be handed over to the garrison corps. Archduke Fisabrun commanded these legions in the southern provinces, and the family territory was not worried for a while.

At present, the 2nd Frontier Ranger Regiment guards the Greater and Lesser Jinchuan areas, under the command of Viscount Christopher, which cannot be mobilized. The Fourth Frontier Ranger Regiment stationed in Makinohara Province cannot be mobilized, on the contrary, it is necessary to send a message to them to strictly prevent the surprise attack of the Northland Forces, after all, Makinohara Province is connected to the Northland, of course, the best way is to destroy the chain bridge built by the Kenmax family, and if there is one less direction of defense, then the Fourth Frontier Ranger Regiment can harass and guerrilla warfare against the four Northland alliances that have captured Winston Province through the fortress city of Pedro City.

After issuing the order to mobilize troops, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun looked at the map and was silent for a long time, and finally issued another order, issuing a conscription order to nearly 100 barbarian tribes in the northeastern steppes who submitted to the Fisabrun family, so that the able-bodied of these barbarian tribes could prepare their own horses, weapons and dry food, and go to the southern provinces to participate in the war, as a reward, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun generously promised that all the spoils captured by these barbarians who went out to fight would belong to them......

The knights and officers of the family in the big tent were taken aback by this order issued by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, and they stepped forward to dissuade them, and the bad effect of this opening that allowed the barbarians to rob wantonly was opened, and the bad effects even exceeded the help given to the Fisabrunn family by these barbarians participating in the war, as soon as the news spread, the Fisabrun family changed from the guardian of the northeast steppe to the accomplice of the grass barbarians attacking and plundering the human race, even if they did not think about the reputation of the family, then in the battle, the barbarian combatants who were known for their disobedience to orders and habits would add countless troubles to the family command......

Grand Duke Fisabrun smiled bitterly and told his family knights and officers that they could silently annihilate the entire First Frontier Ranger Regiment within a hundred miles of the royal city of Windbri, and the family armed forces of the four alliances in the Northland could not be overestimated, by the way, the two brigades of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment deployed in Xihu Town nearly 2,000 people were also lost. In terms of the combat strength of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment, the Grand Duke was very skeptical that he could withstand the upcoming attack of the four alliance family forces in the Northland, and could ensure that the Southern Province was not lost before the subsequent two legions arrived, and the Grand Duke would be thankful.

It's not that I'm being alarmist, Grand Duke Fisabrun is very serious to warn the family knights and officers in the big tent, the next battle with the four alliances of the Northland will be a long and hard war, if the Fisabrun family does not do their best, the result of failure is that the Fisabrun family is suppressed in a corner of the northeast prairie, silently looking up to people to snort and seek a glimmer of life, the lifeblood of the family will be in the hands of others, slaughtered by others, and do whatever they want.

But if we win, then we will suppress the four alliances of the Northlands in the Northlands, and unite the family domains of Winston, South, and the three provinces into a solid whole, and become a major overlord in the Northeast. Relying on the trade routes of the four central principalities, the power of the Fisabrun family has flourished, and all those who have made meritorious contributions in this war will be richly rewarded, and His Royal Highness will not hesitate to use titles and territories to reward outstanding family knights, so that they can become members of the noble class.

Therefore, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun said that in this long and arduous war, the more brutes who came to the war, the better, and the Grand Duke believed that these brutes could be restrained by rich rewards and harsh military laws, and that those who disobeyed the order could be directly executed for treason, and that their tribes would be affected. On the one hand, they can use them to consume the strength of the four alliances in the Northland, and on the other hand, consume these grass barbarians, and indirectly eliminate the threat to the family territory caused by these grass barbarian tribes after their strength develops. The Grand Duke had to prevent the family forces from losing so much in this war that they would be unable to suppress the rebellion of the barbarian tribes in the steppes of the Northeast.

After the end of this military discussion, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun hastily ate some food and fell into bed and slept for more than ten hours, and the escape of these days made him tired enough. When he woke up, the Grand Duke took a bath, ate something, changed his clothes, asked the attendant to step down, and took a bottle of wine in the big tent and poured himself a drink, crying as he drank. At this moment, the Grand Duke's heart was like a knife, and when he remembered the scene when he was chased by Lorliste and was out of breath, the Grand Duke felt that this was the greatest shame in his life......

He had never fled so embarrassed, abandoning the city of Windbury, abandoning the town of Xihu, and losing the First Frontier Ranger Regiment, which not only disrupted the plan he had arranged, but most importantly, he lost an extremely large amount of wealth and nearly two or three hundred thousand manpower to supplement the family territory. It's like encountering a robber and being beaten with a stick, not only was he robbed, but the robbers also tried to kidnap themselves in order to blackmail their own family, but fortunately they finally escaped. That's how the Grand Duke feels right now.

Remembering the inheritances of the Southern Province nobles who had perished by themselves seized from the royal city of Windbury, and the proceeds of the family property of the rebellious nobles of the traditional realms of Winston. The Grand Duke felt that his brain was jumping, it was a huge wealth of nearly three million golden fords, which was originally intended to be used to build a strong garrison army and three insurmountable fortress castles, and turn Winston Province into his ideal battlefield, but now it has become the spoils of the four Northlands......

In the Rose Palace of the King of Windbrie, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun only fought two moves with Lorlist, and he was keenly aware that Lorlist's swordsmanship and personal cultivation were not under him at all, although he could rely on his rich experience to maneuver two or three hundred moves with Lorlist, and perhaps it was possible to take advantage of his negligence to win, but the Grand Duke was very sober at the time, if Lorist was true, the First Frontier Ranger Legion had been annihilated, and the Windbridge Castle was about to fall into the hands of the four alliances in the Northland, then the duel between himself and Lorist would be meaningless regardless of victory or defeat。 Therefore, the Grand Duke immediately decided that leaving the royal city immediately at that moment and getting out of danger was the only correct way to deal with it.

But the Grand Duke did not expect that in order to keep himself, Lorist not only spoke ill of him like a street scoundrel, but also chased after him, so he had to keep himself. If he has to fight to the death with Lorist in anger, if he misses and falls under Lorlist's sword, then the Fisabrun family will have no backbone and become a plate of loose sand, and the four alliances of the Northland can easily obtain the fruits of victory.

This is the idea of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun running all the way, he must not fall into the hands of Lorlist, only when he is out of danger, can he lead the family armed forces to return the disadvantages little by little, and the shame that Lorist put on himself can be washed away with blood and fire......

Of course, in his heart, Grand Duke Fisabrun still had lingering fears about Lorist's swordsmanship. I remember that in Xihu Town, when the more than 600 family soldiers rushed towards Lorist, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun still had the idea of going to a sneak attack in his heart, but the scene that happened in front of him completely made the Grand Duke lose the mind to fight against Lorlist. In the face of the cluster charge of more than half a large group of soldiers, the Grand Duke thought that he had to retreat, so he could only slowly kill those soldiers by fighting, and the most important thing was not to be entangled by those soldiers, which was also the idea that ordinary swordsmen were unwilling to face the soldiers who formed a battle formation.

But when the Grand Duke saw something, Lorist rose to the occasion, and like a nimble little fish roaming freely in a rushing stream, and like a fresh wind circling in the dense woods, all the spears and swords stretched out to him did not pose a threat to him, and he was like a peasant's ghost, reaping the wheat harvest with his long sword.....

Grand Duke Fisabrun was immediately taken aback, this, this is the power of the realm. Not to mention, Grand Duke Fisabrun directly got on the horse and beckoned the guards around him to run away, no wonder Lorist dared to break into the Rose Palace alone to challenge himself, a third-level great swordsman, because he had absolute confidence in his own cultivation and swordsmanship, and he dared to do so when he could clean it up, but fortunately he was not fooled, and finally escaped his pursuit.

It's just that Grand Duke Fisabrun still has some doubts in his heart, Lorist is not a Sword Saint yet, how did he master the power of the realm? Generally speaking, only by reaching the realm of the Sword Saint can he master the domain, but Lorist does not give people the feeling that he has been promoted to a Sword Saint.

It's not that the Grand Duke of Fisabrun hasn't seen the Sword Saint, when he was still a first-class Great Sword Master, he had just been appointed as the commander of the Border Ranger Regiment of the Krisson Empire, and went to the imperial capital to meet Krisson VII, at that time, the Imperial Sword Saint was still there, and when the Grand Duke faced him, he felt as if there was a huge and boundless mountain in front of him, and suddenly he felt that the mountain peak turned into a boundless sea, and the only thing that remained in the Grand Duke's heart was the unfathomable feeling. Because of this, after returning, the Grand Duke worked hard, and finally was promoted to a third-level great sword master in just twenty years.

But Lorist didn't give the Grand Duke the feeling of facing the Sword Master, maybe this kid just somehow mastered the power of the realm by chance. By the way, maybe it's because Xiandi said that he practiced the Eastern Warrior Monk Exercises, in general, Lorist should have stepped into the situation of a half-step peak, and he is still a little short of becoming a sword saint.

It would be nice if Cindy was also there, the two of them would definitely be able to resist Lorlist, and maybe teach this kid a profound lesson. Remembering what Lorist said, the Great Sword Master of Cindy has become a prisoner of the Second Highness. The Grand Duke of Fisabrun added a lot of melancholy. It's time to send someone to the Kingdom of Antinac and the Imperial Capital to find out the news, I really hope that kid is lying to me!

After drinking a bottle of wine, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun finally collected his mood. Kid of the Norton family, Lorist, you wait for me, maybe I am not as good as you in personal cultivation and swordsmanship, but in the next big army battle, let's see who is powerful, I will swear in the name of the Fisabrun family, all the shame, I will pay one for ten, with the destruction of the armed forces of the four alliance families in the Northland!
