Chapter 212 Analysis

Baron Shahin and Baron Philim were a little puzzled to receive the messenger's return, a few days ago the Norton family's armed brigade passed through their territory and said that they were going to attack the royal capital of Windbri to capture the second prince, and now they said that Lorist was coming to Gildusk to meet with them, and they really didn't understand what was going on.

However, this did not prevent them from welcoming Lorist and his party, and the two barons were amazed as they circled around the cross nailed to the corpse of the great swordsman of Calinan.

This time, Lorist got a four-wheeled carriage with a cross nailed to it, and then nailed the corpse of the Great Swordsman of Calynan to it and swaggered all the way through the city, anyway, the corpse of the dead ghost Great Swordsman had been treated with antiseptics, and there was no need to worry about its decomposition in two or three months.

"Locke, you've gone a little too far, after all, it's a third-level great swordsman, known as a half-step peak, and then a sword saint, it's not appropriate for you to crucify his body to show the public......" Baron Philim said as he looked at the corpse of the Great Swordsman of Calinan.

"Chuck, I didn't think of him as a great swordsman, he was just a despicable assassin, since he could come to assassinate himself regardless of the reputation of the great swordsman, then if he failed, I could also hang his body as a despicable assassin. Lorist said disdainfully.

Baron Philim's full name is Philip Charward, and his nickname is Chuck.

"Your family has suffered heavy casualties, right?" asked Baron Shahin, having met the Great Swordsman of Calyon twice and knew that this old man was much more powerful than his junior brother, the Great Swordsman of Ruinsi. It is said that the great swordsman of Ruinsi could not make more than a hundred moves under Kalinan. And in the old days, when he was the Golden Knight under Duke Luggins. was teased twice by the great swordsman of Reins once, and in the end he could only swallow this breath in a loud voice.

Lorist let out a long sigh: "This old man killed nearly five hundred soldiers of my family, as well as eleven knights of the Silver Family, and even Bodfinger and Josk were seriously wounded. I have also been recuperating from my injuries for more than two months, so this time I will never let go of the second prince. The crucification of this old man's body was to spread the despicable act of the second prince instructing the great swordsman to assassinate the lord, and let people know that he was not qualified to be a king at all. In this way, even if he is caught, it will not be criticized that our Norton family is a rebellion. ”

"What can you do if you catch him? The reputation of killing the king is not good......" Baron Philim's worry is not unreasonable, even if the second prince is not qualified to be the king, but the crown is worn on his head after all. In Gelintya, the killing of a king is not a good reputation for a noble family.

"It's okay, I'll imprison him for a while, and have the opportunity to hand him over to the Second Highness of the Antinac Kingdom, so that they can judge and deal with him as the inheritance of the former imperial Krisson royal family, that's their family matter. "Lorist has already made up her mind.

The two barons gave their thumbs out in unison.

"Your method is bullish, which not only makes people speechless, but also avenges yourself. The Andinac royal family hated the eldest prince and the second prince to the core, and if they hadn't raised the flag of rebellion, how could a huge empire have disappeared. Asunder. If the second prince falls into their hands, hanging can only be said to be a very merciful disposal. Baron Philim nodded in approval.

Baron Saheen pointed to the corpse of the Great Swordsman and asked, "Locke." Are you going to go to the royal capital of Windbri like this, and if you need our help?"

Lorist sighed, "Henned, Chuck, you two fools, I came here to remind you to send troops......"

Baron Saheen's full name is Saheen Henned, and he does not have a nickname. Knight Henned, who was previously one of the five Golden Knights under the Grand Duke of Northland, was captured alive by Lorist on the orders of the Grand Duke of Norton and changed his fate.

Baron Saheen was stunned and said, "Why are we sending troops?"

"Last time, the three of you complained that our family forces had swept away the Northland, so that you could not find a human race if you had land. Now that an opportunity is in front of you, you still turn a blind eye, what should I say about you? Our family sent troops to arrest the second prince this time, and all we want is the royal capital of Windbrie City, and who else in Winston Province can resist our troops? Don't you take the opportunity to go fishing in troubled waters, and still stand on the shore to watch what? Send troops to rob you! Stupid, if you want people and money, you don't have to choose!" Lorist said with hatred that iron is not made of steel.

"Uh......" Baron Philim already understood what Lorist meant, but he blushed a little: "Locke, it's not that we don't want to send troops, but ......"

"Alright, I understand your concerns, aren't they just worried about the two border guards in Pydro. I heard that you suffered a little loss in the first two times you sent troops to Winston Province?" Lorist smiled and beckoned to Schward, who was standing next to him: "Schward, go get a map of the Iberian Kingdom." ”

"His name is Schward, and he is my disciple like Reddy, and his father is Bodfinger, and you know him. Now that he has awakened his fighting spirit and followed me as an attendant, he will have to take care of more things in the future. "Lorist introduced Baron Shaheen and Baron Philim to his new squire.

"Definitely, definitely. The two barons said that Henneid took out a dagger studded with several gems and stuffed it into Schward, who had returned from the map, as a greeting gift.

Baron Philim had nothing to do with him, so he decided to entrust his only precious illegitimate daughter to Schward. He praised his illegitimate daughter as rare in the world, how beautiful, sensible and well-behaved, and the age is just right, fifteen years old this year, more than a year younger than Schward. Although she was his illegitimate daughter, she was also registered on the genealogy of the Philim family.

Baron Philip became more and more satisfied with Schward, unlike Reddy's rough silence, Schward was very handsome, and he had a polite temperament, Baron Philip had always said to his baby illegitimate daughter that he wanted to choose a good husband for her, which would see that Schward was a good candidate. His father was a golden knight, and he was a disciple of Lorlist, and his appearance and temperament were so outstanding that his future was self-evident, and it was certainly a good idea to marry his precious daughter to him.

Schward was stupid. I didn't expect to have an extra wife when I went to get a map. He was blushing at the hands of Baron Philim. I didn't know how to answer, but in the end it was Lorist who helped him out: "Okay, Chuck, it's not too late to find a son-in-law at this moment, when this time it's over, you can go to Bodfinger to talk to yourself, anyway, Schward and your daughter are still young, if they like it, they can get engaged first, and it's not too late to get married when they reach twenty." ”

Baron Philim said, "Not small. Her mother was 16 years old when my daughter was born......"

Henneard and Lorist pointed at him in unison, meaning that he was so beastly that even a fifteen-year-old girl could do it, and Baron Felim stopped talking......

Lorist unfolded the map of the Iberian Kingdom and pointed to the territory of the two provinces of the Grand Duke of Fisabrun: "The Grand Duke of Fisabrun, originally the second son of a viscount in the province of Makinohara, later joined the army and was named the commander of the frontier regiment for his military exploits. The Frontier Legion was originally a ranger regiment set up by the Krisson Empire to defend the barbarians on the northeastern prairie, with an establishment of 25,000 people. After the Grand Duke of Fisabrun joined the Frontier Corps, he greatly expanded. And thirty-four years ago, he defeated the barbarians in a row, expanding the empire for thousands of miles. The Eastern Wilderness Province was established, and he was canonized as a duke for his merits, and the Eastern Wilderness Province became a hereditary domain of the Fisabrun family......"

"Because the frontier legion under the control of Grand Duke Fisabulun has expanded to a large army of 78,000 men, which is equivalent to the establishment of the White Lion Legion of the former empire, the Grand Duke has always been deeply suspicious of the center of the empire, and he can only reluctantly manage the Eastern Wilderness Province and Makinohara Province to protect himself. During the civil war of the empire, the second prince went to the Eastern Wilderness Province to meet the Grand Duke of Fisabrunn and married his daughter, and finally won the support of the Fisabrun family, laying the foundation for the establishment of the Iberian Kingdom. ”

"After the establishment of the Iberian Kingdom, the second prince insisted on sending troops to attack the Duchy of Merein despite the fatigue of the people's livelihood, and was finally pushed back by the Duchy army led by the Grand Duke of Mehlain and the Tempest Army, not only suffered a great defeat, but even the southern provinces were reduced to ruins. Under such circumstances, the second prince went to the Grand Duke of Fisabrun to borrow three ranger regiments, and while the Kingdom of Andinac and our family's convoy were heading north to invade the Duchy of Madras, he took advantage of the fire to loot in order to annex the province of Delemke of the Kingdom of Madras in the name of supporting the Duchy of Madras against the invasion of the Kingdom of Andnac. ”

Unexpectedly, the battlefield changed dramatically, and the Grand Duke of Madras shook hands with the Kingdom of Antinac while fighting against the second prince, and defeated the second prince's army in the battle under the city of Kebo. The second prince had no choice but to withdraw from the province of Drymke, and took advantage of the opportunity of our Norton family's armed defeat of the Grand Duke of the Northlands to occupy the Grand Duke of the Northland. ”

"After occupying the Grand Duke of the Northlands, the second prince can be regarded as having a territory under his direct jurisdiction, so he ignores the southern province of the Iberian Kingdom, that is, the province of Winston, where the three southern counties and the royal capital are located. Because the three southern counties were in ruins, it would take a lot of money to restore production and prevent the invasion of the Principality of Merein at any time, which was more than worth the loss for the second prince, so he gave up this province. ”

"And in Winston Province, where the royal capital is located, except for the royal capital Windbri City, the rest of the territory has long been sold by the second prince, and he is unable to support the second prince to support a large army. Therefore, after occupying the Grand Duke of the Northland, the second prince stayed here and did not return to the royal capital, using the grain and grass looted in the Northland and the goods looted from the province of Demke to reorganize the armament, form the first army of the Iberian Kingdom, and prepare to devote himself to the game of world hegemony again. ”

"It's a pity that the second prince shouldn't have messed with our Norton family, and as a result, the good situation he had worked so hard to manage was ruined, and he himself could only flee back to the royal capital of Windbri City with dozens of guards, and he also despicably sent a great swordsman to assassinate me, which is really shameless. ”

"Let's take a look at the military arrangement of the frontier regiment commanded by the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, although the second prince was lent three ranger regiments, but the Grand Duke of Fisabrun has already made up for the shortage, and now the frontier regiment is a full army of 78,000 people. According to the information we have detected, the Frontier Corps has deployed 35,000 men in Makinoharau Province and 43,000 in Toarashi Province. ”

"As the main battlefield against the barbarians, on the border between the Eastern Wilderness Province and the Northeast Prairie, the Grand Duke of Fisabrun arranged two ranger regiments and a corps at the Donghe fortress later, and these three corps were the main force against the barbarians. There is also a corps on the border between the Southern Province and the Eastern Wilderness Province, and as soon as the troops of the Duchy of Merein invade the three southern counties, this Ranger regiment will be immediately dispatched, trying to delay the enemy and wait for subsequent reinforcements to arrive. ”

"The second prince can give up the Southern Province and the Winston Province. But the Grand Duke of Fisabrun could not give up. If these two provinces are occupied by the enemy. Then the Eastern Wilderness Province and the Makinohara Province will be attacked on their backs, and the defeat of the Fisabrun family is just around the corner. It is ridiculous that the second prince would rather give up these two provinces than entrust them to the Grand Duke of Fisabrun, which shows that the father-in-law and son-in-law do not trust each other, otherwise the second prince can make the Iberian kingdom stable even if he is a puppet. ”

"The 35,000 troops deployed by Grand Duke Fisabrun in Makinohara Province are led by his adopted son, Viscount Christophe, who is also the Great Sword Master, and since Makinohara Province is not the main battlefield to fight against the barbarians now, only one Ranger Regiment is deployed at the junction of the Eastern Wilderness Province, which is also a reserve force to support the main battlefield. And the rest of the twenty-five thousand. It is to be placed in the city of Pydero, which has broken into Winston Province, and once the alarm is received from Winston Province, the two border ranger regiments of Pydro Province will be dispatched urgently, and it will not take four or five days to reach any point in Winston Province......"

"I've heard that the two of you have attacked Winston Province twice, and you've suffered a bit at the hands of these two Frontier Rangers, haven't you?" Lorist asked the two barons in front of the map with a smile as he finished his tirade.

Baron Philim blushed and nodded: "The first time our family sent a brigade to besiege a manor castle, I didn't expect that after four days of siege, when we were about to fight, we suddenly suffered a sneak attack in the middle of the night, and only half of the two thousand five hundred people ran back......"

Henned's reluctant reluctance said, "The second time, Chuck and I sent troops together. Having laid down two territories, I want to continue. It is against these two frontier ranger regiments, our two families of 15,000 men and horses, against two border ranger regiments of about 20,000 people, if it is a head-on confrontation, we are not afraid of him, but these two border ranger regiments do not fight with us in the field, always sneak attack our camp, block our logistical supplies, relying on the mobility of light cavalry to follow us, one blow and leave. We had to withdraw our troops in groups, and later, seeing that the supplies could not be received, we had to give up the looted property and baggage, and quickly withdraw with light equipment. Our two families lost nearly 3,000 men and horses that time......"

"Although our two families also inflicted damage on the Border Ranger Regiment by two or three thousand men, they both caused our two families to suffer defeat, so we gave up our plan to attack Winston Province. Without dealing with these two Frontier Ranger regiments in Pydro, we would not be able to come and go freely in Winston. Baron Philim said hatefully.

Lorist clapped his hands: "By the way, I came to discuss with you this time to decide how to pull out this thorn in your eyes." We, the Norton family, have dispatched 24,000 men and horses to the royal capital of Windbri to capture the second prince, and I believe that these two border ranger regiments will definitely be dispatched when they get the news. When our family forces are entangled with them, your two families will send troops and horses to surround them from behind, and as long as they are taken by surprise, they will definitely suffer a big loss. Defeat these two Frontier Ranger regiments, and the province of Winston will be free to run amok, and you can have whatever you want......"

"Okay, I'll do it, I'll go and transfer troops. Henneid said.

"Wait," said Lorlist, "the most important thing in this fight against the Frontier Ranger Regiment is mobility, and you have also seen the 24,000 men and horses sent out by our family's armed forces, except for the chariots, the rest are cavalry. This is the speed of action, we hope to not leak the news or reach the royal capital before the enemy reacts, so that the second prince can be caught by surprise and captured by us, and the second is to avoid being entangled by these two border ranger regiments when withdrawing.

However, in the past two days, I think it is better to simply destroy these two ranger regiments, which can not only help you vent your anger, but also give Grand Duke Fisabrun a dismount, lest he be too high to look at our four major families in the Northland. Two days ago I received a letter from Kenmeth saying that the sale of snow salt was always being troubled in the Eastern Wilderness Province and the Makinoha Province, so I thought I would have to teach the Grand Duke of Fisabrun a lesson and let him see how good we were. ”

"Well, I sent out 8,000 cavalry, all of them are the elite of the family, and they are also newly replaced standard equipment. "Baron Philium has made up his mind, he now has a total of 15,000 men and horses, and these 8,000 cavalry are already all the elite of his family's armament.

Henneid thought for a while: "Then I'll pay 12,000, it's also a new standard equipment, but there are not so many cavalry..."

Henneid had reorganized the Northland Army to 24,000 men, but there was only one corps of cavalry.

"Alright, that's 20,000 horses. We've been waiting for two days, and I've ordered the family knights and a chariot battalion to rush here, plus the more than 2,000 guards I have with me now, we have more than 28,000 horses, and then we will give those two border rangers a door to beat the dogs, even if he is strong, there is no place for them to run. By the way, you have sent a lot of scouts these days to keep an eye on the movements of Pydro. As long as those two border rangers are dispatched, we will follow them and let them taste the taste of being attacked. "Lorist decided to shoot the case.
