Chapter 370: A Thousand Miles of Victory (Part II)
>,!
Blue Vipers are not the same as Red Beards.
Redbeard is vicious but righteous enough, and he fights and robs without dying, which can very much boost the morale of his subordinates.
The blue viper is good at knocking on the stuffy stick, never fights hard battles, rushes ahead if there is a soft bone pinch, what kind of boss has what kind of little brother, and the pirates under the blue viper are as cunning as him.
Encountering a hard stubble like Iho, he almost didn't do any decent resistance and scattered, Iho kicked the camp directly, he had fought a lot of tough battles, it was rare to be so easy as this time, but the blue viper really surprised him.
The main thing is the speed with which he escapes.
It's just too fast.
The Blue Viper was still in the camp when Iho charged, no more than two kilometers away from him, and by the time he rushed into the camp, he had already run three thousand meters away on horseback, faster than he could charge.
"This grandson is running really fast", Iho sighed with emotion and gestured to the blue viper looking back with his middle finger.
The blue viper also gave him a thumbs up.
Iho shook his head and sighed, he had seen such a brazen man for the first time in his life.
He did not stay long, and after kicking the camp, he led the cavalry back to St. Panin.
He had left in time, and if he had stayed here for a few more moments, he would have been confronted by the Black Widow who had turned back.
Roger gave him just the right amount of time, thirty minutes for Black Widow to return, fifteen minutes for Ijo to kick out of camp, and just enough time for him to avoid Black Widow and return to St. Panin.
Black Widow watched the dust and smoke rise in front of her, watched as Iho cut off the tail of the Black Flag Army, kicked the Black Flag Army's tent, and then triumphant. Heroic return to St. Panin.
Killing people at sea. The black widow's chest, which has few defeats, shook and trembled.
Soon, Redbeard could not withstand the ferocity of the Hundred Battles Army and was defeated. Both sides suffered considerable losses and each withdrew its troops.
Redbeard was not convinced, and rode to the gate of St. Panin, pointed at Roger and scolded: "Boy, there is a kind of don't play tricks, come down and fight alone",
"Pick you to be paralyzed", Roger didn't say a word, took the bow and arrow of the soldier on the side and shot it down. Redbeard was shot on the spot, and he angrily withdrew from the range of the city's archers and continued to curse.
But it didn't work in the slightest.
For Roger, the outcome is already very clear, the administrative hall in the city, the defenders are united, the combat strength has been restored, the three armies outside the city are already at odds, and the relationship has deteriorated even more after this battle, and it is impossible to attack St. Panin.
Soon the situation changed again.
Gotha decided to withdraw from the army, because the big southern ranchers behind him wrote to him, hoping that he would stop fighting St. Panin and Roger's ideas.
At this time, the nobles in the city knew Roger's methods. He was actually very forward-looking, and wrote letters to the big farmers and ranchers in the south when the soldiers of the hundred battles were approaching the city.
The letter clearly told them that their business would be ruined in the event of a war, because many of the nobles of St. Panin were big customers of the big farmers. At the beginning of the war, Roger cut off trade between the nobles and the big farmers in the city.
All the losses were credited to Roger, who promised to make up for all their losses after the war in order to win their support.
Gotha didn't want to fight for a long time, originally thought that St. Panin was a fragrant bun he had come here from thousands of miles away, only to find that this place was indeed a fragrant bun, but it was destined that he couldn't eat it, and hundreds of corpses were left behind in a siege.
He had long wanted to retire from the army, but he had been suffering for no reason, and now that he had been given a ladder, of course he came down very happily.
Just as he was leaving, he led his troops to beat up the Crusaders and the Black Flag Army, and then sent someone to write to Roger in the city, telling him that this was a favor for him.
The most capable army of the hundred battles was gone, and the people in the city breathed a sigh of relief, and they were also impressed by the new master of St. Panin.
This puppeteer who has always had a bad reputation is actually not bad, he didn't commit any crimes when he entered the city, he was very good to the nobles and civilians, and the most important thing is that he is indeed very capable, the Black Flag Army, the Crusaders, and the Hundred Battles Army are not his opponents.
With him, St. Panin, which had always seemed loose, had become a monolith, and for the first time in many years, they felt that the city was as solid as a rock.
The day the Hundred Battles retreated was the tenth day of the siege of St. Panin.
Another day later, the Crusaders also withdrew.
The people of the city celebrated again, and many people knew that they had not sent troops against the Crusaders, but only sent a letter to Ignez, the commander of the Crusaders.
The content of the letter was not complicated, it only told him that he had forgiven the sins of the crusaders.
"It's that simple?", Ijo, who was curious about the letter, was puzzled, but the answer he got from Roger was that simple.
Roger said: "The crusaders were sent by the Holy See to resist Shane, and without any order, they left the line of defense and returned to Saint-Panin, and he has committed a capital crime",
Iho said: "The Holy See doesn't exist anymore, does it matter if the capital crime is not a capital crime?"
Roger smiled: "Of course it matters, an army has to maintain its own legitimacy, and Igniz must return under the banner of 'getting rid of the puppet division', they are an army subordinate to the Holy See after all, but now that St. Panin has recognized me, he only has two choices, either get rid of me and replace him himself, and he will become the new master here",
"Either he will return with a feather, then he will not only lose the morale of the crusaders because of the defeat here, but he will also be criticized and criticized by the population for leaving the front without permission",
"The consequences of such criticism are very serious", Roger laughed, "In contrast, being pardoned is the best result for him, it is not my pardon, but the pardon that can represent the priests of the Holy See, so that he can return to the front with peace of mind",
"In fact, Shane's front line is their best home, and besides there, where can the Crusaders be tolerated on the mainland?"
He glanced at the somewhat scattered Black Flag Army camp with a relaxed smile on his face.
Another month passed, and the Black Flag Army finally couldn't hold it anymore, the long way from the coast to St. Panin, the food they had brought was almost enough, and the city was still unmoving, and so far they had not taken advantage of Roger.
That day, the blue viper found the black widow and told her very seriously: "This city really can't be defeated, do you want to consider the beauty plan?",
Black Widow simply replied to him with one word: "Get out",
Then, no then, the Black Flag Army had no choice but to withdraw.
They poured out from the coast for forty days, leaving nearly 10,000 corpses in vain, and nothing else.
On the day they retreated, Pepin the Short excitedly told the nobles and commoners in the castle tower that the city was completely safe.
Roger and Iho walked down the tower, where they heard the enthusiastic cheers of the civilians.
People shouted Roger's name again and again.
He swept over the smiling faces, and there was not much excitement in his heart, and he remembered the original Candim.
When he defeated the Burial Cult, the civilians in the city shouted their names just like them, but now he was no longer the immature archbishop he had been.
Now he is faintly standing in the power of the mainland. (To be continued......)
