Chapter 0319 - Appearance (Plus Change Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The Northern Army Battalion.
The most elite of the Northland army is the Northern Knights, and the largest number is the wartime conscripted militia.
Most of them were ordinary farmers, with only a little basic training, and their weapons were pitchforks, and anyone who could have an iron sword could be passed down as an heirloom.
Inside the tent.
A rough map was hung, and the various forces were marked with different colors.
"Our strength this time is only 417 people of the Northern Knights, 5,000 members of the standing Crow Legion, and in addition, there are only temporarily conscripted militiamen, with ......a total of less than 20,000 people."
Gran was dressed in military uniform: "And the Drake family's army has already marched into Dragon City, plus the army that was originally loyal to the royal family, and a fortified city, I don't think we should choose this battlefield." ”
Frank is on a giant sword with a meticulous countenance: "Wise proposal, but ......"
He stood up like a granite statue: "Felettin III is my lord, the feudal lord was killed, and the courtiers are obliged to avenge him!" What about the ravens of the south and the east? ”
"The Duke of Blackcastle promises to lead his troops north as soon as possible, besiege the Dragon City with us, and denounce the crimes of the Drake family! But there was no action. ”
"As for the Duke of the Islands in the East, his attitude is a little ambiguous, but he is willing to support us with a batch of supplies."
Information from all sides converged, and a group of knights looked at the map and made a battle plan.
When the meeting was over and everyone had gone out, Frank left Gran behind: "Tell me, my son, what happened that night is the same as you say?" ”
"I can swear to the Mother Goddess!"
Gran was stunned and replied loudly, "It is indeed the poisonous woman of Fura who killed her husband and the two princes!" ”
Frank's expression softened and he gave him a hug: "Anyway, I'm glad you came back alive." ”
"Thank you, in fact, I thought I would die in the Dragon City that day, but an unexpected person saved me." Gran replied with some confusion.
"Who's that guy?"
"The Chief Mage of the Court - Lord Eric."
"It turned out to be a wizard!"
Frank suddenly realized that wizards always have some unknown methods, and whatever happens is reasonable.
"Is he still loyal to the king?"
"Perhaps!"
Gran had a different idea.
The change in the palace was too deliberate, too rough, and the ending was something that neither of the two families wanted to see.
He had reason to suspect that there were also third-party forces involved.
However, he did not say anything about this speculation.
Because in the heart of the little wolf, there is ambition!
If the continent is not chaotic, how can there be a knight and his use?
Walking out of the tent, Rofis in silver armor followed behind him: "On the orders of the duke, I and a squadron will be transferred to your command. ”
A squadron of the Northern Knights, the standard is five Black Iron Knights, one Bronze Knight, plus Rofes, it is definitely a very strong force.
"Very well, I announce the first order. Sweep away the nobles who are loyal to the Queen and the Drake family! ”
Gran's face turned hideous: "We need a steady stream of supplies, and we need to let the people who follow us taste the sweetness, otherwise the people below will not be able to lift their spirits." ”
"Follow your orders."
Rofes smiled and bowed: "So, your goal?" ”
"Needless to say, of course, it's Drake's closest branch and in-laws......"
Gran looked at Rofis and saw the surprise on the other party's face: "Do you think I'm going to attack that Liberty Territory?" I'm not stupid. I'm not ready to do it until the staff figure out how to deal with that person. ”
"A wise decision."
Rofes bowed, bowed, and stepped back.
……
Liberty Collar, Manor.
The original prosperous scene was much more depressed, but near the villa, a circle of walls was erected, and it was constantly being heightened and reinforced.
"Look at this scene, it's really going to be a war."
Sulu returned to the territory with Silver Eye, and the first thing that caught his eye was such a scene.
"Mentor."
In the villa, Ham, who had two thick dark circles under his eyes, finally sighed when he saw Sulu: "You're finally back!" ”
"Tell me what happened after I left!"
Sulu half-reclined in his chair and stared at Ham.
"By your will, since you left, the Dragon City has ......"
Ham quickly recounted what had happened, and Sulu's expression became more and more strange: "You mean...... Our queen wanted to poison Gran, but she killed her husband and two princes by mistake? In the end, he can only put his daughter on the throne? Are you sure she didn't mean it? ”
"In fact, this conspiracy theory is so prevalent that the queen has another nickname - the kingkiller!"
Ham replied with a wry smile.
"I always feel that things will not be so simple."
Sulu touched his chin.
"We don't need to think about who the mastermind is, we just need to think about how to deal with the next big battle, or rather, how to stand in line."
Ham bowed and said, "My lord, although you are a free nobleman, your territory comes from the king, and theoretically speaking, you can be counted as a king's faction!" At present, some of the royal family and nobles have chosen to pledge their allegiance to Furla, while others have thrown their allegiance to the Northlands. ”
"Are you trying to ask me about my choice? I choose...... Neutrality! ”
Su Lu smiled: "Whoever dares to invade our territory, we will fight whom, this is the power of the nobles!" ”
"Whether it's the Northern Army or the Royal Army? I understand. Ham took a deep breath and relaxed a lot.
"Well, you just tell you to go down and start preparing."
In fact, the neutrals must also be strong, otherwise the two sides may destroy you first!
Sulu is just a lord, and the soldiers in the territory can't even make up a hundred, but because this is a low-magic world, with terrifying personal force, he has this power.
It's a pity that sometimes, it's not that he wants to be a melon-eating crowd, but others let him be.
The next day, Sulu had just gotten up and was eating breakfast when a huge bell rang in his ears to warn.
This is proof that there is an enemy invading the territory!
His face sank, and he flickered a few times, and came to the outside world: "What's the matter?" ”
"Your Excellency!"
Ham pointed to a group of cavalry not far away: "The knights of the north, are spying on us. ”
"Huh? Are Gran and Frank really not afraid of death? ”
Sulu was surprised.
"No...... My lord, although they are knights of the Northlands, they may not have followed the orders of those two...... They may just be for personal vendettas. ”
Silvereye also came to the side to explain to Sulu.
"Personal vendetta?" Sulu knocked on the door, he had killed several knights in the north, and those knights should indeed have their own families.
And with the habits of the feudal nobility in the Middle Ages, even if the Duke of Wolfsburg had a clear order, he might not be able to prevent the other party from taking revenge.
Not to mention, it is impossible for him to give a clear order to stop it, otherwise there will be a civil war in the north first.
