Richard suddenly started a war, and Duke Soram never understood what this young man wanted to do, could he be fighting for war's sake?

Apparently not. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Solam had learned about Richard from Stevenson, and knew that he had been very calm since he was very young, and such a person would definitely not start a war on the spur of the moment, so what was he for?

The Duke re-examined the map, and as his gaze swept over the Cathedral of St. Louis, an idea flashed through his mind, but quickly threw it back into his mind. A temple is everything in the eyes of believers, but nothing to others.

While the Duke was pondering, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a guard quickly rushed into the war room and delivered a blood-stained urgent letter to Solam, the Duke opened the envelope, and after only reading a paragraph, his face changed greatly, and he said softly: "Richard is about to arrive in Cork Town." ”

One of the generals was shocked: "He's crazy! War horses will run to death, even if they are all good breed war horses, they will become exhausted." ”

The town of Cork was still some distance from the Duchy of Solam, and under normal circumstances, Richard would not have been able to get there until two days later, but the reality was that the king of Akmund had turned a five-day march into three.

"Will this Richard fight or not...... " A staff mage knew that it was wrong as soon as he said this, of course Richard would fight, and he would definitely be much more powerful than him.

When the Duke heard the noisy voices of the crowd, a sudden irritation surged in his heart, and he shouted, "Enough, give me some quiet." ”

He walked quickly to the map, looked at it carefully, and then his face changed dramatically.

One of the generals below thought of the same question and lost his voice: "The 3rd Infantry Regiment was about to pass behind the town of Cork, and they were right on Richard's forward route. ”

The duke's face immediately became extremely gloomy, and a light infantry regiment with a strength of less than 10,000 people would definitely be swallowed in one bite when it met Richard's elite knights who were like wolves and tigers.

He looked at the time and said in a deep voice: "It's too late to inform them now, I hope Viscount Angang's hoplites can be as powerful as he boasted...... Guys, now we need to reformulate our plans. ”

While Duke Soram was busy with a meeting, Richard had already joined up with Reilly. The two marched 500 kilometers in the course of the day, crushing the private armies of two reorganized legions and three viscounts along the way, and officially entered the Duchy of Solam.

While Richard and Reilly were galloping through Solam's territory, Elijie's Northern Route Army had just set foot on the borders of the Holy Tree Dynasty, which showed how quickly the two marched in front of them.

The actions of Richard and Reilly caught Duke Soram by surprise, and the carefully arranged encirclement became waste before it could be functioned. At this time, the benefits of the full elite are reflected, the more advanced the creature, the more physical strength, the marching speed is naturally much faster than that of ordinary armies, and the daily rest time is much less.

Reilly had already occupied a small town on the edge of the dukedom as a temporary supply point. After Richard's arrival, the troops had a short rest here, and the generals gathered in a chartered hotel for a meeting.

Richard reached out and pointed out his own location on the magic map, then circled the location of St. Louis Cathedral, drawing a straight line between the two.

"I'm going to rush to St. Louis Cathedral as fast as I can and knock it down before Soram can react. The Knights of the Templars and the Officers of Battle there are certainly no match for us, and as for the Duke of Solam, it's not too late to go back and take on him. Richard looked up at the crowd and asked, "Is there any more problem?"

"We can launch a wave of attacks into the heart of the Dukedom, and then leave a feint force behind to make Solam think that his target is us. Reilly pointed to the map and said, "There are three formed legions stationed in each of these three places, numbering about 20,000, we will destroy these troops first, and then leave some knights behind to confuse Duke Solam." ”

Richard thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's it, be careful not to let that scout cavalry escape, we will make Solam blind." ”

"Let the fighters rest for three hours, and then set off. Reilly stretched out his right hand and shook it vigorously: "Try to get rid of those people tonight." ”

"It's only three hours......" the ogre brother outside the window complained, three hours was enough to fill their stomachs, but it didn't give them another sleep.

"Tiramisu can make the two heads fall asleep in turns, and you can endure it when you are three minutes ripe. Richard gave his advice.

"Every time. The two ogres muttered a few words, and then decided to turn their grief into food.

Richard and Reilly smiled at each other and continued to discuss possible changes in the war.

————————————————————

In front of Duke Solam's castle, 10,000 of the most elite knights had been assembled, and they were divided into ten teams, each of which exuded a strong general momentum, and on the other side, hundreds of knights in uniform formed a phalanx alone, with two generals in monstrous armor at the front.

Duke Solam stood on the terrace, looking down on his proud troops, and he seemed to be able to see a mist of blood floating above the phalanx of knights, and countless unjust spirits roaming inside. This is the murderous spirit, and it is the proof that this unit has been in a hundred battles.

The Duke's lips twitched slightly, and he said in a voice that only he could hear, "I have defeated Neelem, and now it will be your turn, Akmund." ”

In the past, even when facing Ellie, this unit was not dispatched, but was placed on a more important battlefield. Now, the Duke was ready to use it against Richard's large Order of Constructed Knights.

The duke raised his helmet and prepared to put it on, and he would personally lead the army into battle.

At this moment, a cloud of smoke suddenly rose in the distance, and a knight appeared at the end of the road, and rushed towards the castle at full speed, and when he was still a few kilometers away from the castle, he simply jumped off his tired horse, rushed to the castle with his own strength, and in the blink of an eye he came to the duke.

This is a seventeenth-level knight, one of the most effective cavalry generals under the duke, he is now very embarrassed, covered in mud and blood, Solam's pupils shrank, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

The knight knelt down on one knee and said in a hoarse voice: "Lord Duke, Richard suddenly changed the route of his march and attacked us by surprise, and the 6th and 7th Infantry Regiments and the Light Cavalry Regiment of Lord Longma were routed. ”

Solam took a deep breath and asked in as calm a tone as possible, "What about Longma?"

"General Lung Ma has been killed in battle, and he desperately dragged Richard back to report the news. ”

Solam took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, before asking, "Is the Seventh Infantry Regiment with you, how long have you resisted?"

“...... Ten minutes, Lord Duke. The knight said with a shudder.

"What did you say?!" the duke's voice jerked up an octave.

"In fact, we are facing not two thousand, but seven thousand. ”
