Chapter 194: Fighting Gatu

An Dongjia's guess was probably right, and the lord pouted: "Let the man-eating wolf live in the house to help him block the lynx that steals food?" Did Gregory IV think the Cato were more friendly than the Misty Mountain people? ”

"Gregory IV didn't care about any of this, and in his eyes the throne was clearly more important than the homeland."

Ser Wren sighed, "If he really loves the Raven Kingdom, he won't destroy the Falcon Knights with his own hands......"

"You're from the Knights of the Falcon? What is your intention in coming here? ”

Leon looked at the coat of arms on Wren's body.

"My name is Wren, my lord. I now owe allegiance to Lady Ursula, who and I are probably the last remaining Falcon Knights...... I am here because Madame Ursula asked me to come to Count Stephen and tell him that Gregory IV had sold his Oldenburg and Dark Falcon ......"

Wren didn't hide his mission, anyway, Amy saved his life with the female soldiers, he wasn't the kind of fool who didn't know what to do, and now that Count Stephen was gone, his mission would not have been completed.

Lord Lord's head: "So, Lady Ursula intends to let Count Stephen join her and withdraw her army to stop the Catu...... It seems that she will be at least halfway there, Earl Stephen has withdrawn two days ago. As for the other half, she could probably only tell Count Stephen in person...... Ser Wren, I'm not going to be an enemy of Lady Ursula, in fact you can leave now, but I think it might be difficult for you to return to the Raven Realm right now. ”

It was indeed difficult, and now the north was full of Cato camps, and Wren was not going to be hunted down again.

So Wren shook his head directly: "Both the Cato and Gregory IV are our common enemies, and in fact Her Majesty has now become an ally of the Lion Kingdom. I can take on the enemy with you here, if you will, my lord. ”

"Queen? You mean Lady Ursula...... She became an ally with the Lion Kingdom? What's going on? ”

Leon didn't know Ursula's plan.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The Raven's army is actually the equivalent of Her Majesty's initiative to lure out...... According to the original plan, I was supposed to return to the Falcon Castle to gather troops and wait for Her Majesty, but now it is difficult for me to cross the Gatu steppes, and Her Majesty probably won't be able to get there. What I should do now, then, is to try to gain your friendship and gain an ally for Her Majesty. ”

Wren took the initiative to tell the lord about all of Ursula's plans, and was open and honest about his intentions.

"So, Lady Ursula is in the Lion City? Don't you have to report to her? ”

Leon looked at Wren carefully, and he was a little surprised by Wren's reaction.

He knew that this was supposed to be a companion in the game, a knight who had been trying to restore the status of the Knights of the Falcon.

It is not surprising that Wren became a subordinate of Lady Ursula, just as Frederick had served Forschel.

However, the relationship between Wren and Ursula is official, as they are both members of the Knights of the Falcon.

Therefore, it is impossible for Wren to join Leon's team now, and he has a mission on his body, so it stands to reason that after determining that he cannot complete the mission, he should immediately go to Lion City to report to Ursula......

But he intended to stay with Leon.

"My lord, Her Majesty may have already departed, and it would be safer and more appropriate for me to wait for her here. In fact, I want you to see her, and I think you might be happy to have one more ally......"

Wren's words to Leon were somewhat meaningful.

He used the word 'ally' rather than 'friend'.

This was probably because Wren saw the female soldiers of the Noldor Elves and Griffon's Sword Mercenary Regiment.

As a knight who grew up in the port of Changge, Wren had little contact with the Noldor elves, and the nobles of the Raven Realm were not popular with the Noldor slaves in their homes, so Wren was not prejudiced against the Noldor race.

But he knew that no human had ever been able to command the Noldor elves in battleβ€”but the Baron Leon in front of him had done it......

Not only that, but Leon's team actually had female soldiers who were not much different from Falcon Talon, as well as people who summoned the Ranger Regiment on the horn.

In Wren's eyes, this means that this lord is very unusual, a lord who can command the Noldor elves, I am afraid that it is not something that the Lion King can control.

Therefore, Wren told Leon all about Lady Ursula's plan - in the current situation, Lady Ursula's plan has failed, and being open and honest about everything can gain Leon's trust.

Wren directly sees Leon as an independent force and actively hopes to establish a cooperative relationship with Leon.

The lord was also a little impressed by Wren, of course he saw what Wren meant, it is really rare for such a keen person to be so keen......

In fact, Wren's combat effectiveness in the game is very average, and all the statistics are very average, and it doesn't even seem to be worthy of the special identity of 'The Last Falcon Knight'.

But now, Leon knows why the mediocre Wren became the last remaining falconer knight other than Ursula - most of those who can survive for a long time are not by force.

It's just that the game doesn't reflect the IQ and adaptability of these characters......

Just then, Ser Roland came in: "My lord, Dumbledore of the Ebony Handguard Knights has come, and he has captured a Captive of Cato. ”

Leon turned and walked out.

Dumbledore was just outside the door, dirty, either blood or mud, and it looked like he had fought a battle with the Gatus at Shield Fortress, and he was working hard......

He took with him a Cato man in armor and a masked helmet, who seemed to be of high status, but now he was tied to death and covered in bruises.

"Dumbledore, your Knights are really good at capturing captives, and it is not easy to capture such a Captive of Cato...... Did the Gatus attack the Shield Fort? ”

The lord is really praising it, and the Ebony Handguard Knights have this ability, and it is indeed difficult for other troops to catch the live Gato officer.

"Lord Leon...... The Cato did not attack the Shield Fort, but I saw a lone Cato squad that took the initiative to get some loot, and by the way, to find out what such a large number of Cato people were going to do. ”

Dumbledore frowned and pointed at the captive, "But the problem is, no matter how much we torture him, he won't speak, and we can't understand Cato. Baron Leofrick said you might have a way to get this guy to speak, so I brought this guy over......"

"Raphael! Come here! Oh wait...... Anson, bring Drash here......"

The lord originally wanted to find Raphael, but then realized that he had a more suitable translator than Raphael......

The Captive of Cato looked very much like Leon's Mavdrash, and without saying a word, he looked like he was dead.

When he saw Drashy, the Captive Gato asked a few questions with straight eyes, and then went so far as to talk to Drash.

Looking like this, it seems to be an acquaintance.

"Your Excellency...... He...... It's my people. ”

Drasch is a lot more eloquent now, and for so long, this middle-aged man, who has been a warlord turned groom, has actually been conscientious, of course, because he really likes to raise horses.

Perhaps it was a good thing for Drasch to keep horses and not fight, and the lord had always been nice to him.

However, the more important reason Drass had spoken of it, and Leon already knew itβ€”Drass was a subordinate of Juda the Saboteur, he had been captured, and if he returned to the tribe, he would only be tortured more brutally, and his wife and children would all be reduced to slavery.

But if he no longer appears in the community, his children will be able to live as individuals.

So he won't run away, he won't mess around - he has nowhere to go.

Juda's tribe was like this, without the order to retreat, those who fled for their lives on the battlefield would be shot to death, and the whole family would be enslaved by the enemy, and the indomitable warriors would get more property and women.

This high-pressure inertia has created a sense of honor, which has led to the fact that Juda's clan has a strong will to fight.

But it was also because of this sense of honor that Judah's troops had only two tactical commands - forward or backward......

The other great warlord, Zakar, is different, and his tactics and stratagems are feared even by the Noldor.

The current Cato who was captured by Dumbledore was obviously also a subordinate of Juda, and was of the same clan as Drash.

Drashi talked for a long time with his people, and then told the lord that the Cato people camped nearby were not pure armies, but were in fact the tribe of Judah, the expelled Cato tribe.

The great warlord Zakar, who took advantage of the loss of thousands of elites in the Noldor Forest, expelled the disobedient tribes.

The captive didn't know much, but he said he didn't plan to attack Shield Shield or Fletcher, they just wanted to wait for the battle on the other side of Talon to be over and find a place to stay in the grasslands east of Talon.

Therefore, the tribes of Judah, that is, these expelled Cato people, are also apprehensive now, and they only intend to see the situation.

If they encounter a squad of the Ravens, they will attack easily, but they will not attack Shield Fortress or Fletcher in a big way, and they will simply retreat when they see a larger team.

They don't have the heart to fight now......

"I see...... Got it......"

It dawned on Leon now.

Warlord Zakar negotiated a deal with the Raven Kingdom, not just to plunder the Raven Realm, he also had a larger purpose......

The Raven Kingdom promised to give all the hundreds of miles of grassland hills east of Eagle Claw to Zakar, so Zakar planned to expel Juda's tribe to this grassland and hills - Zakar did a good job, and did give the expelled tribe a place to live.

The problem was that by banishing Judah's tribe to the east of Talon Keep, Zakar was actually trying to hold off the fighting armies of the Lion Kingdom and the Raven Kingdom - no matter what the battle was, they would not want to go to the Raven Realm.

Since he had such an idea, it meant that Zakar himself would lead his troops to Dark Falcon, Oldenburg, and even the possibility of capturing Dawn Furnace City, which were now quite empty.

Zakar may have wanted to transform the Gatu from a nomadic raiding tribe to a semi-sedentary tribe, as did the Duchy of Dexia...... Country!

He wasn't trading with Gregory IV at all, he was planning to take advantage of the opportunity for the eastern elite of the Raven Kingdom to swallow the entire eastern part of the Raven Realm!

"Looks like everyone is going to take advantage, huh? But in the current situation, it seems that no one can take advantage of it......"

The lord touched his chin and thought for a moment, then turned his head to look at the female soldiers of the Griffon's Sword mercenary group outside.

"Amy, do you know Countess Valera and her falcon talons?"

"Huh? Leon, you're trying to ......"

"I want Falcon Talon to return to Talon Castle and the Falcon Knights to Falcon Keep...... Whatever the other forces have in their plans, they must fight with me against Gato! ”

……

Fort Talon.

Gregory IV was at war with Forsette's troops.

The war has been going on for several days.

Since the Lord of Talon Kedron sold his teammates to Lionlake City, the army of the Raven Realm had the upper hand at this time.

Forsette defended the city, and Grandlon's Lionlake Banner Guard supported the village of Bigren on the flank of Eagle Talon.

The two people who originally had a grudge worked closely together for a few days......

After all, they all grew up in Lion Lake City, and when they encounter defending their homeland, they will still fight to the death.

But now the situation is very unfavorable for them, and when Kedren left, he took most of the food and military supplies with him, and the defense reserves of Eagle Claw were seriously insufficient.

It seems that the army of the Raven Realm is less than 5,000 people, and it seems that the more than 2,000 people of Forsette can hold the city completely, but the war is not based on numbers......

The troops dispatched by the Raven Kingdom this time are all elite.

They came across seven hundred miles of grassland, of course, they didn't bring too many miscellaneous soldiers, and the people who dispatched were basically experienced veterans.

Moreover, there were many high-caliber marksmen in the Raven's army, and even if the city was defended, Forsette's troops still suffered heavy losses - they were barely able to raise their heads at Talon Fort.

Forsette's troops suffered heavy casualties and their morale was getting lower and lower - in fact, they were not very demoralized in the first place, as they had entered Talon without seeing Kedren and Ursula, and there was nothing in the warehouse.

But by that time the enemy was already engaged, and they could not retreat easily.

And now, they had just received the news that Kedren had taken Lion Lake City, and their morale was even lower......

But now that they were enclosed in the Talon Fort, it was not easy for them to retreat.

Sold by friendly forces, stolen home, low morale, coupled with insufficient military supplies, the overall combat effectiveness is naturally not much left, and it would be good if these two thousand people could exert thirty percent of their combat effectiveness......

The ironclad guards of the Raven Realm had already attacked the city wall twice on this day.

If it weren't for Grandlon's timely rush to the rescue with the Lion Lake City Flag Guard, Eagle Claw Fort would have been breached......

Grandlon charged outside the city, not only to relieve Forsette, but also to deliver the news of Kedren's theft to Forsset.

He didn't enter Talon Castle and had been cooperating outside the city, so he could get this information.

Of course, Grandon plans to return to the army first to kill the thief Kedren, and stay in Lion Lake to defend his homeland, which is his hometown.

He will bring his troops to Talon Fort, just because once Talon Castle is lost, Lion Lake City will be in full swing.

But Kedren occupied Lion Lake City at this time, which means that Kedren, a thief, is using Forsette and him as cannon fodder, and without Lion Lake City to deliver supplies, Eagle Claw Fort can't hold it!

So Grandon is planning to return to Lion Lake City, and then defend against the Raven people in Lion Lake City.

The Lion Lake City Banner Guard led by him is a powerful heavy cavalry, and it is outside the city, if he wants to retreat, the army of the Crow Realm will actually not be able to stop him.

But the problem is that the heavy cavalry alone will definitely not be able to retake Lion Lake City, and he must relieve the siege of Forsette and work together with Forsette to return to Lion Lake City.

Fawsett was gathering his men in Talon Castle, and he was indeed preparing to break out, Grandon had just broken up the Raven Realm forces west of Talon Castle, and now was a good time to break out of the city.

But just as he was about to break out of Talon Fort, he saw billowing smoke from the east......

"That's the Gatu! Lord Duke! It's the cavalry of the Gatu! ”

The soldiers on the walls shouted.

And the troops of the Raven Realm who were attacking under the city also sounded the horn of collecting troops at this time.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What's going on...... Why is there such a huge cavalry of Cato?! ”

Forsette obviously didn't dare to break through, from the city wall, you could see a large number of Cato cavalry coming towards Eagle Claw Fort, at least several thousand, at this time out of the city is basically equivalent to looking for death, and definitely not able to return to Lion Lake City alive.

Grandlon also quickly withdrew from the battlefield at this moment, and he didn't know what the situation was, but it was obviously not a good thing for so many Cato people to come......

But instead of heading west to Lion Lake City, he went straight south.

Faced with the army of Raven and Cato, Forsette would definitely not be able to get out of Eagle Talon Fort for a while, and he would not be able to retake Lionlake City from Kedron with heavy cavalry alone, and Gran Long had nothing to do with a lone army.

Glancing in the direction of Lion Lake City, Grandon gritted his teeth and spit: "Kedren......"

Subsequently, he withdrew south with the Flag Guards......

Kedren, whose family was remembered by Grandlon, was now trembling in the halls of lords in Lion Lake City.

He originally wanted to occupy Shihu City and Changhe Town, intending to gain benefits from both sides.

But who knew that Ursula didn't go to River, but instead allied with the Lion Kingdom in a way that was in line with the status of the claimant to the throne - Kedren sold his teammates, only to be sold by his teammates himself.

Brenus and his large army captured Lionlake City in just one day, and the price for this was that the two barons, Eldfred and Leofovan, had almost exhausted their knights and levies......

That is, for Brenus himself, nothing was paid.

In fact, both Eldfried and Leofwan understood their situation, and they followed Prince Aranrik while King Ulrik was still alive, and the king had to deal with them.

It's just that they didn't expect the punishment to come so quickly......
