Chapter 61: Fort Gruenward
Walls did not answer the question of the Nord soldiers, he had already guessed at that time that King Ragnar would definitely not treat him fairly at this banquet, and he would never get a share of the territory of the Rhodok Kingdom, so he would weaken his strength in disguise, so it was better to lead the Nord soldiers in the Rhodok Kingdom to establish themselves as kings now!
It was as if it was an inexplicable touch, and the touch came from Lorimer.
"Establish yourself as king!"
This is a suggestion provided by Lorimer, and Walls could not have imagined that the rules of statistics by blood on this continent, and now that a small declining nobleman wants to set himself up as a king, it is completely unjustifiable in terms of blood, and he has no legitimacy in gaining power, and now he has to establish a country on his own, how can this be a thing?
However, what Lorimer said, Walls had always believed, and at this moment he knew what he should do.
The lords who went to pursue the Nord all took a shortcut to the kingdom of Rhodok, and they did not hear the news of the advance of the Vols army along the way, but found a group of men and horses on the border of the Nord kingdom, needless to say, those Nord lords immediately understood what was going to happen.
Therefore, a large number of Nord lords have chosen to return by the same route, wanting to pursue Walls. At this time, the lords on the way to the banquet also received news that they were loyal to King Ragnar, and under the orders of King Ragnar, an army that was on their way to Sagoth to attend the banquet happened to run into Vors. He took the initiative to attack the object.
He is Rjekjare.
Rejekjar was a force that had returned from the battlefield of the Nord kingdom to conquer the kingdom of Rhodok, and he had also followed Walls in the conquest of the kingdom of Rhodok.
But now, by order of King Ragnar, Reyekjale is now an enemy of Walls.
Looking at the banner that appeared in front of him, Walls already knew that it was Rayquear's troops. On the plain where dense grass grew, rows and rows of Nord soldiers held their shields high and gathered in line after row.
They are soldiers who have returned from the battlefield, with rich combat experience, those old, weak, sick and disabled have been eliminated after the baptism of entering the battlefield, and the rest are a group of elite soldiers.
As the battle formation spread, a Nord man on a heavy war horse and wearing a secondary armor stepped out of the array among the soldiers. The sunlight reflected on his armor, reflecting a special sheen, and this armor had not yet had time to be repaired, because it had many scratches on it, and it was obvious that it was a gap created by various weapons.
That man was none other than Rjekjaer.
Walls insisted, and also went to the battlefield alone, his army had already lined up, this was the elite army he led, how to say that in terms of setting up the formation, the speed must be much faster than other armies.
When the two men met on the battlefield, Reyekjar first took off his helmet, revealing a weather-beaten face. When it came to conquering the kingdom of Rhodoc, he was a man of courage.
"Walls! I can't believe that a valiant and warlike man like you would be a traitor! Now follow me to King Ragnar and confess your sin, and perhaps His Majesty will spare you as soon as he is pleased. If not, I will rely on my force to capture you alive, although your army is much stronger than mine, but you are facing the entire Nord Kingdom. The lords of the kingdom will catch you. And the Nord kingdom that I represent, if you attack my troops, it means that you are the enemy of the entire Nord kingdom, and at the same time, you will not be able to get the forgiveness of King Ragnar, do you know how I deal with traitors? I'll gut him out like a fish. As for King Ragnar, I don't know how he punished those who betrayed. ”
Rayquear's expression was solemn, his legs were actually trembling, because of the things in front of him, the godless Walls, how to say that he also had a little psychological pressure, it was best for him to try to restrain his mood and keep himself from panicking.
Walls' expression did not change in any way, he sat on the war horse, his eyes looked at Rayquejar, and he did not say anything for a long time. Until Rejekjare's eyes showed a hint of fear.
"I won't go with you! If you have to catch me, fight me. ”
Walls said this, which made Rayekjar unable to calm his mood, and the expression on his face was like the sky had fallen, a strange expression that could not be explained.
"You! You'll regret it! ”
Rayquear quickly turned his horse's head and returned to his camp, and the next moment he commanded his men to charge towards Walls' army. He also knew that if he was cowardly now, he would lose the face of the entire Nord Kingdom, and if he didn't have the courage to fight Walls, King Ragnar would definitely punish him. A mocking smile appeared on Wall's face, and he froze in place, behind a row of Nord soldiers ready to charge, and he turned to look at the group of Nord soldiers behind him. Among them are also Svadia knights.
The news of Walls's treason was like a bolt from the blue, and Reyekjaer had already said that Walls was guilty when he spoke just now, and such news was like a bolt from the blue.
As for the Svadia Knights, this is not a thought, they don't matter if Walls is treason or not, they are loyal to Walls and not to King Ragnar.
"My soldiers! Ragnar convicted me because I was so good that he feared that my power would be too great and endanger his rule! Now they want to capture us, because you're with me, and Ragnar fears you'll get revenge on him. Now that King Ragnar has become my enemy, I want to know! Who would you like to follow? ”
Walls said loudly to his soldiers that it was important for him to have their support. After all, the enemy is right in front of him, and no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to defeat a fully formed force. There were more than a hundred soldiers on the other side, and their own number was several times that of it, but as long as the hearts of the Nord soldiers were united, it was easy to defeat Reyekjaer. All the Nord soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment! But at this time, one person stood up. Alone, he rushed towards the group of soldiers of Rejekjar.
Which one is Jack!
One person took the lead, and the rest of the group rushed out together.
When Rayqueljar saw this, she was immediately furious, and she remembered the face of the first person who took the lead, and he also knew who this man was, one of Walls's generals, and this man was called Jack.
The troops led by Walls were all mobilized, and the number was several times that of Reyrkjar's troops, and the quality of Walls's soldiers was far greater than that of Reyrkjar, which made Rayquejar even more unbearable.
Before Reykjar's soldiers rushed in front of Walls, the Swadia knight took the lead, and the cavalry spear in his hand stabbed out violently, sweeping like a hurricane, and row after row of Nord soldiers fell, and Reykjar knew that he was finished. He hastened to command his soldiers to retreat. The strength of Wall's army is extremely terrifying, and he had to do it as a last resort, and he also knew that he couldn't win against Wall, but he also knew that if he ran into Wall and escaped without fighting, King Ragnar would definitely punish him in anger. That's not what Rayekjar had in mind.
The defeat was overwhelming, and as soon as the Nord soldiers of Walls and the Nord soldiers of Raykjar clashed, the soldiers of Rayquejar were crushed. I had to hug my head and run away.
"God of War! Mars! ”
The soldiers of Reyekjar shouted as they ran, they already thought that Walls was invincible, they had already had this idea when they attacked Walls, and when all the Nord soldiers rushed over to fight them, they already knew that their end had come.
As for Reyrkjar, he had already run away, only a few Nord hussars as his escort. If someone had caught up with him now, he would have been able to capture it alive. The Svadian knights weaved among the soldiers of Reykjaer, and the Nord royal warriors swung their axes so fiercely that in a few moments all the enemy soldiers either ran away or died. The battlefield was a mess, littered with severed limbs, compared to the casualties of Walls' army.
Ahead was a dense forest, and at the far end was the territory of the Kingdom of Rhodok, a newly conquered territory of the Nord Kingdom, which was now in the possession of Walls. The battle with Rayquear lasted only a short time, and Walls did not capture Rayquear alive, he had already fled north with its tail between his legs. Deliver a momentous message to his king.
Sagos.
"Your Majesty! The war has begun! Walls actually openly resisted my arrest, my troops have been wiped out, I hope Your Majesty you will quickly catch this rebellion. to uphold the majesty of the Nord Kingdom! ”
Rayekjar ran to King Ragnar with a glossy face and told him the news, for which King Ragnar had expected that the quality of Wall's army far exceeded that of any lord of the Nord Kingdom. Therefore, in a single situation, it is not possible for any lord's army to defeat Walls.
Her frosty eyes looked at Rayquel, who raised his head after he finished speaking, and then he happened to see King Ragnar's cold eyes, and Rayquear shivered.
"Reyekjar, I know, I'm done. You can retreat now, just wait a little longer, and wait for our army to gather a large army, and with the number of our troops, we can crush Walls! ”
Rayquear retreated tremblingly, and at this time, in the interior of the castle hall, there were only some senator-level lords left, and King Ragnar also waved his hand to let them retreat for the time being. Therefore, in the last moment, King Ragnar was the only one in the castle hall. But at this time, in this empty and silent hall, a rickety back came out silently.
"King Ragnar! You're in a hurry, Walls has already returned to his territory first, and I don't need to say more, he must be actively defending against our attack. The other party owns the land of the newly conquered kingdom of Rhodok, so whether we defeat Walls or not, it will prevent us from conquering this land, and perhaps when our country is in a civil war, the kingdom of Rhodok will be quietly resurrected! ”
Peters opened his mouth, his old voice sounding a little weak at this point. King Ragnar knew that it was him who was sick.
Peters coughed a few more times, not on purpose, but because the disease in his body had spread up and down her body.
"Your Majesty! I feel like I'm running out of time, and you're probably going to have to take care of the big picture on your own for the rest of the day. As for Walls, I think he should be allowed to return to the Nord kingdom and have all his previous culpability revoked.
Peters was about to continue speaking, but in an instant King Ragnar was interrupted.
"No way!"
King Ragnar is almost hysterical, for him, those who dare to betray themselves will pay a corresponding price, and for Wall, a thorn in his side, King Ragnar will definitely not be merciful.
It is a great irony that a pair of good monarchs and ministers have become enemies who hate each other at this time.
Peters knew that he could not go on any further, and King Ragnar was now quite sensitive to the subject of my special, and he sighed, his old face now aged a lot.
"What do you think of Hewitt?"
Peters was not confused, he knew everything about what those people in the realm were doing, and Peters also knew about Hewitt's visit to King Ragnar.
"This guy has a lot less talent than Walls, but he has even more ambitions than Walls."
King Ragnar was also angry at this time, after all, he had turned the topic from Walls to Hewitt. "Watch out for this guy, he's so much more than what you see."
This was Peters' last piece of advice to King Ragnar, and as soon as he had finished speaking, Peters turned his body slowly, and he walked forward weakly, step by step, with a faint sadness in his cloudy eyes.
I'm afraid the Nord Kingdom is coming to an end!
The next day, King Ragnar ordered the first prize and as a marshal, to lead the lords of the Nord kingdom to the south, which was originally the territory of the Rhodok Kingdom, but at this time it had been destroyed by Wall, and all the territory was in the hands of Wall.
Walls broke through Viruga, so he stationed a part of his troops in Viruga, and Djerkhara was jointly attacked by the soldiers of Idenjarr and Rudyar, but when the city was handed over, the soldiers stationed still had Walls' soldiers in charge, because everyone recognized that Walls's soldiers were the best in the Nord Kingdom, and it was best for him to guard this undercurrent city.
As for Aaron, this city has long been breached by Wall, there are few defenders left in the city, and the old, weak, sick and disabled troops left behind have also been wiped out by Wall's troops, so Wall did not forcibly attack a city, and the people in this city can only let go of hatred and choose to surrender.
Idenjarr led the army of the Nord kingdom to the south, and along the way, the lords of all over the country gathered here, and there was no doubt that this war would be extremely fierce. In total, the Nord Kingdom gathered a force of about 3,000 men. Among them, King Ragnar also sent part of his troops under the command of Idenjarr.
Farrington, and Nisbit, known as the Wild Axe, were among them, and although King Ragnar did not have a personal expedition, it was enough to have his two generals join the expedition.
This mighty army, the direction of the march is directed at the territory of Wall, many of the Nord soldiers were reluctantly forced to be conscripted to participate in this war, they each have their own ideas, but most of the ideas are that Wall is invincible, for these small soldiers, Wall is powerful, and there are many people who do not believe that Wall took the initiative to start a rebellion, some people say that it is because Hewitt said bad things about Wall in front of King Ragnar, which led to Wall treason. As a result, many of the Nord soldiers put the source of their hatred on Hewitt, but due to Hewitt's aristocratic status, this group of cowardly soldiers did not do much to Hewitt.
Far south of the Wall, he has already made a rapid march back to his own territory of Veruga, which originally belonged to the territory of the Kingdom of Rhodok, after being conquered by Walls, Walls also began to strengthen the walls of Veruga, there is no doubt that the city of Suno is completely abandoned, and the defense of the mountains is the best way to resist the attack of the Nord Kingdom.
Idenjarr first advanced his army to the east, and there were several castles in the territory that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Virginia, and since these castles belonged to Walls, and they were the closest to Sagoth, it was only natural that these castles should be the first to be targeted.
Wall didn't pay much attention to these castles, he has been focusing most of his energy on the southern expedition recently, and he hasn't managed these castles too much, so most of the soldiers here don't have enough trust in Wall, and when Idenjarr led the army to advance to the bottom of these castles, these defenders all chose to surrender without exception.
Idenjarr took these castles without any effort, his self-confidence was greatly satisfied, of course, there was still a trace of sobriety in his mind, the defenders in these castles had nothing to do with Walls, and all the men who were truly loyal to Wall were in the territory of the Rhodok Kingdom.
He followed Walls to conquer the Rhodok Kingdom, and knew the situation of Walls' garrison here, after all, by Walls's side, there were only two veteran lords, Idenjarr and Rudyar, who would pass through their eyes in every detail, and now he was in the same camp as Rudyar, and he knew the situation of Walls' army very well.
However, Itenjarr had already thought that since he said that he knew his army, then Walls must also know his army.
As the Nord army led by Idenjarr marched mightily across the plains of the Swadia Kingdom, he was pondering how to defeat Walls.
As he pondered how to defeat Walls, he did not fully observe the situation of the soldiers he led, most of whom had made great achievements in the conquest of the kingdom of Rhodok, and they were eager to return to their homeland temporarily after the war. But now that things have changed like this, their original extreme war-weariness has been fully exposed at this time.
Originally, Walls became their spiritual pillar, but now that this spiritual pillar is gone, they have become their enemies, how can this not make the Nord soldiers feel helpless and helpless?
But Rudjarr, who was beside Idenjarr, noticed that Rudyar was an upright lord who would treat everyone fairly, and he knew very well about the novices of his soldiers.
However, even if he knew about these things, Rudyar could not do anything, after all, it was an order from his feudal king, King Ragnar.
The opponent is Walls, who is many times stronger than himself, and Walls has now become cruel and ruthless, I wonder how many of these soldiers will be able to return to their hometowns this time in the southern expedition?
Rudyar sighed and looked into the distance, the vast plains that had recently regained their former life, with small animals burrowing in and out of the grass. However, because of the arrival of the army, these small animals fled in panic.
Further south, there is the territory of Wall, which, according to King Ragnar, has illegally taken possession of his territory, which his army will reclaim.
At this time, inside Fort Gruenward, Wall was laying out the battle plan.
Sunovos has decided to abandon it, and as for Uxhall, a large part of the garrison of this castle is not his own.
