Lance was puzzled, "Why did Lady Susan say that?"

Lady Susan said with a solemn face, "Count Reims, Joseph has a loyal personality and is never greedy for merit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Although he will use your strategy to fight, but after a long time, he will inevitably say that this is your ploy by Count Reims. You have a grudge with the Count of Aceh, and with the Duke of Aceh's great joy and face-loving character, if you know that everything about the southern expedition is your plan, you will definitely not be allowed to do so. I'm afraid that when the time comes, the army will completely attack behind your back, and won't that be a sure defeat?"

When Lance heard this, it made sense, but he was negligent: "Then I will write a letter to General Joseph at once." Mrs. Laborer sent it over. ”

Lady Susan said, "That's the best." ”

Lance then hurriedly withdrew from the feast, followed Madame Susan to the study, and wrote a letter to Joseph not to divulge Lance.

When Lance gave the letter to Madame Susan, he said, "Then it will be a matter of annoying Madame." Just in case, I set off to receive reinforcements at once, and if there were any accidents, I could plan ahead. ”

Lady Susan said, "Then I will prepare your horses at once." ”

"Thank you, Lady Susan. ”

Bidding farewell to Madame Susan and her brother's family, Lance and his party hurried towards Vignen's Pass. The letter was sent by ship with the servants of Joseph's family to the southern front.

At this time, the army of the Duke of Aceh was like a dragon with wings sweeping through the city, sweeping all the way through the remnants of the demon army. 100 kilometers advanced in one day.

Because the cities and strongholds in the southern part of the Clay Plains were basically burned down by the policy of clearing the wilderness of the Rans Walls. The army that caused the defeat of the demons could not be held in danger. Therefore, it is basically only possible to build a simple line of defense. Not at all a match for the Iron Rider of Ideris.

Soon the army of the Duke of Aceh entered the city of Sisvoy. This is the domain of Duke, the "old whore". It guards the channel of the Little Clay River and the road south. It is the choke point to the southern Clay Plains. However, the castle was also burned and demolished by Reims.

In fact, the demons have quickly re-sent troops to garrison Hesvoy City. There are 2,000 brave orc soldiers in the city. And along the south bank of the Little Clay River was fortified, which was quite strong. If you want to cross the river from the north and attack strongly, even if you can win by numbers, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

But unexpectedly, Idris's army did not attack directly from the north, but went around the west side of Heatoy City, first captured the three weakly defended castles in the west, seized the ferry, and then crossed the Little Clay River, and then marched east along the river bank, bypassing the fortifications built by the demons on the river bank.

So in the face of the fact that the flanks were completely exposed, and there were no city walls, there was no danger to defend, and after only two rounds of cavalry charges, the demon clan's orc army was defeated.

And this strategy of detour and surprise attack was proposed by Joseph according to the plan on the strategic map of Reims.

Previously, the Duke of Aceh and Count Gavin and a group of others planned to cross the river directly south, wanting to rely on the numerical advantage to attack Heathvoy. However, Joseph gave a suggestion to the Duke of Aceh according to the idea on the map of Reims, and the Duke of Aceh thought about it for a while, felt that it was reasonable, and adopted it.

According to Reims's plan, the army was able to take the heavily fortified city of Heathvoy so easily.

At this time, the Duke of Aceh stood under the gate of the city with his prancing horse, looking at his army of 20,000 that stretched for several miles, and he said to Joseph beside him:

"Joseph, you are still the general I trust and rely on the most. If it weren't for your plan, I don't know how many people would have been killed or injured by forcibly crossing the Clay River. ”

Joseph was a little embarrassed, because after all, this was not his own plan, but the prophet of Lance had already planned it on his own map. And now that the credit is all his own, Joseph is also very frightened in his heart: "Lord Duke, in fact, this is not my credit, but ......"

"Well, how is it not your credit? Joseph, you are always so modest, too outward-looking. 19 years ago, it was you who planned for me with all your heart, took the initiative to abandon the city, and retreated as an advance, so that you finally saved the people and army of Idiris, and accumulated strength for the counterattack after the blockade. The Duke of Aceh interrupted Joseph, and he changed the subject.

The Duke of Aceh pointed to the army that was entering the city one after another and said, "Joseph, look at how mighty and majestic our army of Idiris is, and how sharp our swords and spears are. Looking at the ancient and modern times, on the Veniante Continent, who can compare? Thinking about the Divine Emperor Javier back then, it was only 5 cities in one day. I'm just laughing at Lance's hairy boy, these immortal deeds should have been his. If he had any of these credits, he asked me for a marquis, and I didn't blink an eye. It's a pity that he is still too young and timid and afraid. Look at it, where does the current demon clan still have the strength to fight back?"

"But ......"

"Nothing is too much! Victory is everything. Joseph was about to say that all of this was actually Lance's plan. The Duke of Aceh interrupted Joseph again.

The Duke of Aceh said happily: "Let's go! Let's go to the celebration banquet together! Tomorrow we will continue to go south and strive to attack another 100 kilometers!"

With that, the Duke of Aceh rode into the city. Joseph never told the truth, so he could only sigh. Wait for him to find out the truth and ask for credit for Lance.

The celebration lasted until sunset, and the soldiers were all drinking, singing and dancing. At the celebration banquet, the generals led by Count Gavin and his son Edward almost all threatened to recover the Clay Plains within a week and attack the base of the demons - the Coastal Peninsula within a month. And time is becoming more and more exaggerated.

Joseph's heart could not help but be troubled. Today, Idiris's army is a patchwork of 20,000 men. Moreover, the main forces of the elite are already exhausted after continuous battles. Especially the cavalry units on which the Duke of Aceh relied so much.

He had already followed Lance through the forest trail, running hundreds of kilometers all the way, killing a horse pistol and participating in the Battle of Clay City. It can be said that there is almost no rest for a day. Although now all the way, the cavalry has won a lot. However, there were already small deaths of horses and illness of soldiers in the cavalry units. This is a very bad omen.

And the strategic map given by Reims said that after Joseph captured Heatvoy, he should not try to persuade the Duke of Aceh to rest with his army, because Aceh could not listen. So Lance asked Joseph to persuade the Duke of Aceh to stay behind the cavalry unit and rest for three days. Push the infantry forward to meet the Duke of Aceh's urgent offensive demands.

So the next day, Joseph went to command the camp according to Lance's idea and suggested it to the Duke of Aceh.

At this time, the convoy carrying supplies from Idiris, also arrived at the newly recovered port of Hisvoy. In the midst of a busy harbor, a servant dressed in coarse cloth stepped off a ship carrying supplies. This man was none other than the messenger sent by Lady Susan.

The messenger inquired all the way, and finally found out about Joseph's tent. But the soldiers said that Joseph had gone to the camp of the Duke of Aceh.

As Mrs. Susan repeatedly told me that the letter was urgent. So the messenger went outside the tent of the command camp, but the guards did not let him in. The messenger waited outside the door.

At this moment Count Gavin of Clay came, and saw an anxious-looking outsider standing outside the tent. Count Gavin asked curiously, "What are you here for?"

The messenger said: "I am a servant in the house of General Joseph, and I have come to deliver the letter on behalf of my wife. ”

Count Gavin said, "I am Garvin, Earl Clay, or I will help you get the letter in." ”

The messenger thought for a moment, and then handed the letter to Count Gavin, saying, "All right." I'm tired of the Earl. ”

Count Gavin then took the letter and prepared to go inside.

But when he saw the fire paint behind the letter, his smile disappeared. This fire paint he had seen was the most hated fire paint mark of his son Edward, the dragon rose emblem.

And Count Gavin also knew that this dragon rose emblem belonged to one person, Lance. (To be continued.) )
