Chapter 55: The Eagle Queen

"The moon god may not be as great as the sun god, but without her our night would be terrible. ”

- The Silver Moon Canon

The last military meeting before the attack was held as scheduled, and Rolf did not return but remained in the barracks, and he said that Vincent's opinion was his opinion, which shows the high level of trust he had in this son.

The name of Vincent's Impaler had already resounded in the army, and the soldiers who had participated in the Battle of Taniyama wanted to describe their experiences as exaggerated as before, but they found that they could no longer exaggerate it, and the wailing Kakamans on the hundreds of dense pillars cast a shadow on the hearts of many people.

The assembled army has been camped for dozens of miles. There were 14,000 Hansai soldiers brought by Rolf and Vincent, including 6,000 cavalry and 8,000 infantry.

There were sixteen thousand men in Furyhorn, in addition to the fifteen thousand men brought by Frodo, there were also a thousand cavalry brought by Torvincent before, and the strength of Fury Horn was mainly infantry, and the cavalry was only two thousand.

The Giant Eagle City area has assembled an army of 23,000 people, including 5,000 cavalry, white full-body armor and brown eagle banners that make them stand out in the barracks.

The House of Leilia of Deadwood City came with 1,200 men, led by Philip Relia, the eldest son of the Lord of Deadwood City, with a hundred cavalry.

Boris, the fat lord of Bone City, and his fat son Jersey brought three thousand men and six hundred cavalry.

Klobois of Boulder brought with him an army of four thousand men, all shielded Boulder infantry, the most elite presence of the Northridge infantry.

Archie of Wolfsburg brought with him 3,000 men, and the 4,000 cavalry had been reorganized into their respective units, except for the men of Bearsburg, who temporarily followed Rhodok.

Anderson of Windmill Castle, brought with him fifteen hundred men and three hundred cavalry.

Evan of the Golden Hill brought with him two thousand seven hundred men and two hundred cavalry.

Cooper, of Snow Fox Town, led a force of 4,000 men and 1,500 cavalry.

James of Linghai City brought two thousand men to participate in the battle, five hundred cavalry.

Gluck of the Thorn Leader brought three thousand men and a thousand cavalry.

There were more than 70,000 men and nearly 80,000 troops, including more than 12,000 cavalry, and about one-third of the remaining infantry.

Although it is not all the strength of the North Ridge, but it is enough to deal with the current situation, Rolf has been busy integrating these troops these days, the army of the North Ridge is very messy, although everyone is trained, but many people have not used swords for more than ten years, and this is when the role of the cold plug comes into play,.

Most of the veterans of Hansai are the deputies of their respective lords, squad leaders and other roles in their respective territories, and these people seem to remember Hansai's set, and the veterans have responded to Rolf's arrangement, and quickly distinguish all the soldiers with shields, cavalry, archers, and pikemen for integrated training.

The North Ridge is very poor, and the armament is even worse, but fortunately, everyone here has their own armament, and the lord who does not have weapons and armor will naturally distribute them, in fact, now that the distribution has been completed, it can only ensure that everyone has a weapon, of course, whether the weapon is a sword or a logging axe, it is not forced.

However, the harsh living environment of the North Ridge also made these soldiers more resolute and strong, and the reason for Rolf's battle was very simple, nothing more than archers throwing, shield walls suppressing, spear assassination, cavalry charges, archers turned into infantry and the whole army pressed up. These are the ways to do it. Simple, straightforward, fancy things don't stand up to scrutiny in the harsh climate of Northridge.

Even things like trebuchets in Northridge are too cold for the bond to be fragile if it freezes for an hour.

"Why didn't you count the army of Eternal Night?" Domt pointed to the sand and asked Roddock, he had been listening for a long time and felt that something was wrong, and suddenly found that Rodok did not count the people of Eternal Night City when he counted the people, you must know that it was an army of nearly 20,000 people.

"The troops of the City of Eternal Night will not go to war without the king's orders, and the king is now. Pikes explained, giving Dommut a look you know, and the king could barely speak now, as everyone knew.

"You mean I took the soldiers of Giant Eagle City to the front, and all the soldiers of Eternal Night City are nested in my house?" Domt stared at Pikes' thin body, in fact, Domt was not strong, but he was much fatter than Pikes.

"No one has the right to mobilize the army of Eternal Night without the king's order, this is the rule, the king did not give me the right to transfer troops, otherwise I would have transferred, but this will not work. Pikes struggled to explain.

"Alright, alright. Rodok looked at Domt and said, "This is the rule of the Northridge, and you don't know that one day you were injured while lying in bed, and no one except your heir has the right to mobilize the army of Giant Eagle City." ”

"We continue. Saying that, Rhodok looked at everyone again: "Philip, Vincent, you two young men take 10,000 people from Gushan to Deadwood City to see what the three castles in the northwest of Eternal Night City want to do, needless to say, the gold and silver castles, and the remaining two if they don't rebel, order them to send troops to attack the gold and silver castles, and if they rebel, they will fight together." Anderson, you go with these two little guys and press them down. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Philip, Vincent and Anderson, and all three nodded, Anderson's fiefdom was not big, and there were not many people, so this arrangement was very suitable for him.

As for the king's explanation, Pikes and Boris discussed it privately without telling Philip, who felt that the child was too young to be involved for the time being.

"Clobois, I'll give you 10,000 men to climb over the valley and take back the Iron Helmet Fort. During this time, you and Vincent, Phillip, and Anderson were responsible for the entire northwest of Eternal Night. Rodok said to Klobois.

"No problem. Clobois moved his shoulders in agreement, looked at Vincent again and smiled, "I also want to see the masterpiece of the famous Impaler." ”

Rodok looked at Domt again, "Domt, Giant Eagle City is your territory, and the task of supplying and protecting the king in the rear will be entrusted to you." ”

Domt actually wanted to go to the front and was about to make an argument, but the other person spoke first.

"I'll take care of the rear. The fat lord Boris said, everyone looked at Boris, Boris smiled and did not look at others, but continued to look at Rodok and said: "I can't fight with my stature, and my son is still young, let me teach him how to deal with the affairs of the rear of the army this time." ”

Rodok looked at Boris, and then at Domt, Domt actually has an inexplicable meaning of wanting to be in charge of the rear again, I don't know why, but Domt didn't say it, after all, he was more looking forward to going to the front.

"Okay. Rodok nodded, looked at Boris and asked, "How many do you want?" ”

"Actually, it's enough to have people from Eternal Night City, but I don't have the right to mobilize them, I'll draw a thousand people out of my people, you can send me some more people, and if there is a problem in Deadwood City or Iron Helmet Fortress, I can send people to support immediately." Boris, the fat lord, said, as if to avoid the impression that he was going to hide his men from the battlefield.

"I leave a thousand people behind. Cooper said, seeing that everyone was watching him, he realized that he seemed to be in a bit anxious, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have a bit of a lot of people here, and you don't know how old Snow Fox Town is." ”

The people couldn't help but say in their hearts, "Whoever asked you to bring so many people here, who can't see that you are looking forward to the king's death." But on the surface, no one showed it, and Cooper's reason was not bad, at least the truth.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at Gluck again. Greck was worried about how to speak, and when he saw that everyone understood him, he said cheekily: "I will also keep a thousand people, I have a lot of people this time, and many of them are half-old children." ”

Rhodok sighed and looked at the two of them, and said, "Leave the young man behind." "Then I was ready to move on.

"It's okay to leave people behind, but they can only be stationed in the Deep Forest Fort, and the army of Eternal Night City can only be stationed around Giant Eagle City, and Giant Eagle City can only be guarded by the soldiers of Giant Eagle City. An old, hoarse voice suddenly came, with a hint of sharpness and meanness.

Everyone looked at the voice, and someone whispered: "Eagle Queen!"

Ennis Feist, the Eagle Queen, had just come down from the stairs under the guard of two guards, the two guards looked familiar, and it was obvious that the two gray-haired old guards were under the command of the Grand Duke of Paul.

"Lord Eagle Queen. Pikes frowned, that's what everyone in Northridge calls the Eagle Queen.

"Lord Eagle Queen. Pikes said, "Please don't forget that Your Majesty is the king of Northridge. ”

"Of course. The Eagle Queen stepped forward and raised her eyebrows, glancing at Pikes as if she was looking at a child: "Giant Eagle City is also a fief granted by the King to the Ron family, and now that the King is seriously ill and cannot give an order, who can order the troops of Eternal Night City to enter Giant Eagle City." ”

"But the king needs protection, the army of Eternal Night City naturally needs to be guarded by the king's side, Giant Eagle City is the fief of the Ron family, but I hope you don't forget that it is also the land of the Northridge, and the king's army has the right to enter any castle in the Northridge. Pikes said with a frown, he didn't expect the Eagle Queen, who had been so quiet these days, to suddenly appear.

Rodok knew the temper of the Eagle Queen, and at this moment Pikes said a little too much, for fear that the two would have a conflict, so he hurriedly played a round, Pikes thought about the king for the sake of this Rodok could understand, and hurriedly said to the Eagle Queen: "Aunt Ennis, we are having a military meeting, you can't break in with people." ”
