Early the next morning, the Akmund army walked out of the barracks and set out on their journey. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ellieje led her 20,000 troops to the north, and the soldiers were directed at Duke Zashik, with thousands of Akmund foot knights and 150 constructed knights in her ranks, in the eyes of outsiders, she must be the main force along the way, and the elite knights led by Richard played a leading role.

Richard led all the Knights of the Darkblade, the Knights of the Witch, and fifty knights in costume to the territory of the Duke of Solam, he was all elite along the way, but the number was only two thousand, which was really insignificant compared to his opponents.

If Duke Solam mobilizes with all his might, he can even pull out an army of 100,000, and if Richard wants to attack St. Louis Cathedral, he has to pass through the territories of more than a dozen large and small nobles, and their combined strength exceeds 100,000.

The news of Richard's dispatch of troops was quickly sent to the desks of the big names of the Holy Tree Dynasty, Duke Solam sat in a study room with a history of nearly a thousand years, carefully reading the pile of information in front of him, and after repeated comparisons, he showed a cool sneer, and said to himself: "There are really only two thousand people, do you think you are all knights in costume? Hmph, joke." ”

With 2,000 men against more than 200,000, this is Richard's war.

————————————————————

Cork Town is the territory of Viscount Angang, and although it is not a strategic location, it is also the territory of the Holy Tree Dynasty.

When Reilly's puppet legion appeared outside Cork Town, Viscount Anzun was greeted with his proud hoplites, a well-trained force that was considered elite throughout the Sacred Tree Dynasty. However, when Rui Wen led three hundred Dawn Knights who were shining with all kinds of magic and magic brilliance to rush over, the infantry phalanx carefully built by Viscount An Gang was directly dispersed. After all, those hoplites only had five hundred people, and no matter how elite they were, they couldn't withstand the onslaught of three hundred Dawn Knights, not to mention that the leader was still a Heavenly Rank Sanctuary.

As soon as Riven came up, she used Banishing Edge, clearing a passage through the enemy's infantry phalanx, and then rushed in with the Knight of Dawn. Viscount Angang's hoplites soon fell into disarray, and thousands of light infantry were crushed at the touch of a button.

Rayleigh did not participate in the battle, but watched the battle with Michael, with five thousand puppet knights, a thousand puppet marksmen, and a hundred puppet priests behind them. In order to avoid irritating the Sacred Tree Dynasty, Rayleigh did not send too many high-level troops this time, and only brought thirty Jungle Warriors and fifteen Templar Priests.

Michael pointed ahead and said, "That person should be Viscount Angang." ”

Reilly looked in the direction of his finger and saw a middle-aged nobleman roaring towards Riven, a high-level warrior who was only a step away from the Sanctuary, with outstanding sword skills and fearless courage, but unfortunately he chose the wrong opponent. Rui Wen's strength is enough to rival the legendary powerhouse, and her rune greatsword is not something that the enchanted longsword in the Viscount's hand can shake.

Rui Wen stunned Viscount An Gang with a soul-shaking roar, and then swung her giant sword and swept away the latter's personal guards.

The female swordsman came to Reilly with Viscount An Gang and said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored. ”

"Good. Reilly smiled and said, "Let the knights rest for half an hour and prepare for the next battle." ”

"Yes. ”

Half an hour later, Reilly marched south and attacked the unsuspecting 3rd Infantry Regiment of Solam on a flat field thirty kilometers away. Reilly's puppet legion was all in battle, and in less than ten minutes, they crushed the light infantry regiment of nearly 10,000 men.

Reilly gave the order to pursue freely, and then asked Michael to return to Cork Town to prepare for the approaching Richard Legion, and by the way, discuss the ransom with Viscount Anzun.

At this moment, Duke Solam was not aware of the fall of Cork Town, and he was in a meeting with his men.

"Can any of you tell me how Richard is going to fight this battle?" asked Duke Solam in a deep voice. He stood with his hands in his hands, looking down at the meditative generals and strategists, the tall and remote war room, which also had a history of nearly a thousand years, where generations of Soram had expanded their family's territory and elevated their titles from viscount to duke.

The Duke of this generation himself is even more legendary and powerful, and has invisibly increased the prestige of Soram again, and if it weren't for Stevenson's return from the dark blue a few years ago, the family's prestige might have been even higher. Another flaw is that Duke Solam did not really win a single victory in the war directly or indirectly with Ellie, and the few victories, because Elliejie took the initiative to withdraw from the army, it is difficult to say that it is a real victory.

In this way, the stain on the reputation of the Solam family in recent years has been related to the madmen of Akmund. And now, Richard is actually here again, thinking of this, the duke's face can't help but be a little gloomy.

One of the generals stood up and said, "In my opinion, Richard just wants to advance lightly, bypassing the area where our heavy troops are stationed, and going straight to the point. ”

An elderly magician said in a strange way: "So, what are the key points that Richard wants to raid?"

The general couldn't answer, Richard's troops already had detailed information, and each of them had a copy in front of them, and the numbers in it were almost able to be memorized, with such a small number of troops, and all elite knights, the other party's purpose was, of course, to attack lightly and go straight to the point. The question is where did Richard set his sights, the city, the Duke's castle, or the mine port?

After thinking about it carefully, the general found it difficult to judge where Richard's target was, but under the duke's gaze, he couldn't help but answer, so he stubbornly said: "I think Richard's target is the Isolia Magic Crystal Vein." ”

The old magician sneered and said, "A great constructor would lack that magic crystal, and what's the use of him laying down that mine?

"Then what do you say Richard wants to do? The general was ridiculed, and immediately roared like a red-eyed bull.

The old magician didn't get to the point after talking for a long time, the duke had to interrupt his tirade, and then a few more people expressed their opinions, basically saying the strategic points in the dukedom, and many people thought that Richard was coming for Solam's constructed knights, and planned to severely damage the duke's constructed knights, this point of view was agreed by most people, and even Soram nodded secretly, thinking about how to deal with it in his heart, after all, Richard's Dark-edged Knight is known as the killer of the constructed knights, and his fame is resounding all over the continent, and the limelight even overshadows the powerful Maple Oak Knights and the Holy White KnightsAfter all, the high-ranking knights in these two knighthoods will not go up with red eyes and fight hard as soon as they see the enemy's constructed knights.

The chaotic discussion soon took a new direction, with one general saying, "We must gather all the Constructed Knights together and form an equally elite, but much larger force." Whatever Richard's goal is, the local defenders will hold him down so we can go all out and fight Richard. On the battlefield, numbers are always the most critical factor, and since he wants to be in the limelight, then we will teach him a profound lesson. ”

Duke Soram nodded, his gaze moving back and forth between several strategic points on the map, he muttered for a moment, and said, "If you want to hold off Richard, the number of defenders is too small, what do you think is the appropriate size?"

Everyone talked about it, and finally felt that 10,000 defenders should be left in each city, these cities have perfect defense facilities, which are enough to offset the opponent's combat power advantage, and the knights can jump directly on the wall of dozens of meters, but those knights of the dark blade cannot.

The battle plan was agreed, and the Duke immediately issued an order for the troops that had already been reorganized to be stationed at each point, while he himself and his followers were in the center of the town.

The duke mobilized a full 5,000 elite cavalry, 10,000 elite infantry, and 150 cavalry to form an elite army, waiting for the moment of decisive battle.
