Chapter 123: Division of Troops
"Two noble lords, please calm your anger and aim your weapons at your companions, this is not what a valiant warrior of the Titans should do!" The confrontation between the two noble lords was also only dissuaded by another person of sufficient honorable status.
The Titan Divine Envoy, covered in blood robes, stepped forward slowly, gently pushed away the swords of the knights that collided with each other with his hand, and walked between the two confronting nobles.
"Oracles of Merlin, it's not that I'm going to insult the honor of a Titan, but you've heard Meglor's words just now, and he dares to insult my noble Savani family, which is a fault that is absolutely not forgivable!" Sidwar still retains some sanity, and he still expects this Titan emissary to win him enough allies in the empire to ensure his status as the first heir of the Savani family.
"Count Meglor, as a noble nobleman, he must have the courage to face his mistakes and apologize for his actions!" the eyes under the cloak glanced at Meglor, and the Merlin envoy complimented and gave Meglor a step.
"I apologize for insulting the Savani family!" Meglor regretted as soon as he said it, although the Savani, who was in charge of finances, had always been called a copper-smelling family underground, but his direct rebuke was tantamount to declaring war on the Savani family.
He is different from Sidwar, even if Sidwar loses his inheritance, he is still a direct descendant of Savani's bloodline, and he is just a side disciple of the Primel family, once he really confronts the Savani family. Unlike the troublesome Primel family, the easiest way is naturally to hand over him who insulted the other family.
Now that there is a Merlin oracle to give the steps, he also hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and while apologizing, he did not forget to show his noble blood and courage to bear the wrong quality.
"I only hope that Count Meglor's words and deeds can be a little more disciplined, and that he must think through his head when he speaks and acts!" Sidwar looked at Meglor deeply, and finally put the weapon back, although the column between the two could not be repaired, but now was not the time to turn his face.
Especially with so many pairs of eyes watching, once the fight starts, where will the face of these nobles be placed.
Meglor's face turned pale, and Sidwal's words were tantamount to saying that he did things without thinking. As a noble son of the military lineage. This is the most taboo thing.
But as the leader of the coalition, if there is no reaction, Sidwar's prestige will be lost" But as the leader of the coalition, these knights who dare to stand tall against me. They must be imprisoned. Three days of confinement!"
Sidwar was determined to teach the arrogant Meglor a lesson. At the same time, it is also a warning to other nobles who do not follow the rules.
"What?" Meglor screamed in shame, "they are knights directly under the Primel family, what right do you have to punish them? Are you making an appointment to challenge the authority of the Primel family?" Retainers and knights who belong directly to the family have the right to punish only those who have the noble blood of the family in their veins, and Sidwar's actions are tantamount to provoking the Primel family.
"Count Sidwar, I think the punishment should be forgotten! after all, they are all just doing their job!" the Merlin envoy made timely adjustments to prevent the situation from becoming chaotic again.
Since Merlin had spoken, Sidwar, who was in a state of fire, could only forcibly swallow this breath, until his face was red and his neck was thick.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Meglor didn't want to argue anymore: "Lord Sidwar, what are you going to do in the future? Continue to squirm slowly like a reptile on the gravel wasteland? and let those damn monkeys continue to provoke? We should go full speed and find those monkeys! Plug them and skin them! Only in this way can they wash away their insult to the honor of the Primel family!"
"No, any impulsive behavior is dangerous!" Sidwar did not hesitate to veto Meglor's proposal, any impulsive behavior in the past few days may become an opportunity for the orcs, and there is an impulsive consequence in front of him, "Only a steady march, all the way to the action and route must be carefully planned, any impulsive and reckless behavior, may bring unnecessary losses!"
"Then I would like to ask you, Your Excellency the Earl of Sidwar, have you considered the consumption of grain and grass for such a slow march, and have you thought about how long it will take us to find their tribe?" Meglor's anger grew again, and his tone became more and more unpolite.
"As the commander of the coalition forces, of course I have my own considerations!" Sidwar proudly reminded the other party of his identity.
"Coalition Army?heh" sneered disdainfully, Meglor's mood was no longer angry to describe, he turned to Merlin Divine Envoy, "Venerable Divine Envoy, it is because you brought the call of the Titans that I came with the warriors, but now that the honor of the family has been trampled on, we must use the blood of the enemy to wash away the stain of the family!" Glancing at Sidwar with disdain, "Let the great Coalition Commander continue to lead his own coalition army to slowly climb on the gravel wasteland!" I and the warriors from House Primel I brought with me are out of this joint expeditionary force, and we will find those orcs ourselves and screw their heads!"
Merlin's divine envoy couldn't stop it at all, after all, he wasn't a high-level member of the empire, the other party just looked at his face and brought troops over, and now in the name of maintaining the honor of the family, he couldn't stop it.
"Well, if you have to, I won't stop you!" Sidvar said with a gloomy face, "but I warn you that your actions are to bring the heroic warriors of House Primel to their death!"
"Your Excellency!" Kane hurriedly said to stop Sidvar's recklessness, now was not the time to be rash, if the Primel family withdrew, the coalition would lose most of its combat power.
It's just that before Kane could speak, Sidwar raised his hand to stop him, he had already had enough of Meglor's constraints, although the other party's departure would reduce the combat effectiveness of the coalition army, but the rest of the people would save him and take command, and Meglor might also lead away those orc warriors who were secretly following, which was not a good thing for him.
"Warriors of Primor, be ready to use your swords to defend the honor of the Primel family!" the enraged Meglor pulled out the delicate sword at his waist and pointed straight to the sky, roaring loudly to the surrounding nobles and knights, "Warriors here, who else is willing to walk with me to drive out those orcs who dare to challenge our honor!"
Meglol was not a fool, the previous repeated humiliations had made him remember the extraordinary of those orcs, and now he shouted loudly, provoking the nobles and knights around him, taking his own team, leaving Sidwal and following him.
"I'll go!"
"I'll go too!"
The loud roar of honor was immediately echoed by many, the successive provocations of the orcs had deeply touched the pride of their noble bloodline, and the slow and fearful march of Sidwar made them feel even more humiliated, and suddenly seven nobles led their forces to join Meglor's ranks.
Counting Meglor's 3,000 cavalry, the number of troops willing to follow him in pursuit was as high as 5,000 men, which was enough to stand on most of the weapons of the coalition army, and most of them were cavalry occupying the main position.
Sidwar's face was pale and ugly, and he looked at the knights who were excitedly separated into another army without saying a word, and coldly cursed them with the most vicious curse in his heart.
"All right, warriors, let's not crawl slowly, let's go with the necessary supplies, we can get the rest from the orcs!" Meglor warmly shouted, welcoming the other nobles to join us, but also complimenting the Merlin Envoy, "May the glory of the Titans be with us, and under the guidance of the great Lord of the Gods, destroy the evil orcs!"
"For the sake of honor, let's go!" Meglor, who was finally in charge of the army, waved his sword excitedly and gave the order to advance.
"Hooray! Hooray!" the knights celebrated loudly, and under the leadership of the valiant Count Meglor, they galloped away on their horses.
Sidwar watched coldly, now that the situation was irreparable, these stupid things would definitely bear the price of their impulsiveness, and he was about to face trouble after the great reduction of his troops, a team of five thousand and mostly infantry, which was definitely not a safe number in the gravel wastes of Campas, but fortunately those two thousand archers were still in their ranks.
"Boss, boss, something is wrong!" Mantas, who was in charge of keeping an eye on the expeditionary force's movements, trotted all the way back to the temporary station of the Saiyan warriors, "Those humans have divided their forces!"
"Divide the troops?" Xia Zuo was slightly stunned for a moment without reacting, and then hurriedly led people out of the house.
Looking at the smoke and dust that divided into two roads as the troops marched, Xia Zuo stood on the small hillside and pondered.
"Boss, what should we do now?should we continue to follow these guys, or go find those cavalry?" Bigu's words were worried, although these cavalry seemed to be coming at them, but they had greatly increased their mobility after throwing off the large axles and infantry, and it was very likely that they would follow the traces to find the Saiyan tribe, with the 1,000 recruits left behind by the tribe, they would not be able to make any effective resistance, and if the team attacked the tribe in the back, the two thousand archers would be enough to inflict huge casualties on the tribe.
"Walden, you take the centaur warriors to catch up with those cavalry first, and find out their movements!" Xia Zuo pondered for a moment and said, "There are still about ten days away from the tribe here, as for the rear force, we will ignore him for the time being, even if we are a day or two behind, we will completely catch up, and find a way to eat that brave cavalry team first!"
