In fact, the current situation is probably really caused by Eric's luck.

After Eric came to the vicinity of the Seven Forks Fortress with a huge team under the banner of the marshal of Leon, everyone had a little misunderstanding - because this huge caravan seemed to be the 'army group of the Lion Kingdom'......

After all, the banners of the various Grand Lords appeared in that huge team—Leon, Godric, Leofrick, Forsette, Grandlon, and the Royal Knight Iris......

The Royal Fleur-de-lis is Amy's banner - the same flag that Amy's brother Lord Andrew used when he was the commander of the Royal City Guard.

This is mainly due to the fact that most merchants will find a backer, especially when participating in such large-scale long-distance trade activities, it is safer to fly the banner of the Great Lord - there were caravans that did not fly the banner of the Great Lord in the first place, and were robbed by the Snake Worship Sect.

So this time all the merchants are well prepared, the merchants from Ermine will naturally take refuge in Forsette, those from Payne Village will take the banner of Grandlon, and those from White Hart Castle will also ask Amy to help them feel safe......

In addition, there were already three big flags planted on the carriage of the Long River Express, and the small lords along the way would also join this 'group army'......

So the team that Eric led looked at from a distance that was completely the all-conquering army of the Lion Kingdom, and it seemed that it was led by the king himself - after all, the banner of the royal city guards was also inside.

Of course, you can definitely see it up close, but in the face of a large-scale group army with more than a thousand vehicles in the carriage alone, except for the lord of the Lion Kingdom, which lifeless scout dares to approach and investigate?

At the same time, after the caravan stopped near the Qicha Fortress, it did not attack the Qicha Fortress, but continued to gather other Lion Realm Lords who came to gather, and gradually began to move closer to the bridgehead to the south.

This does not look like an attempt to regain the Seven Forks Fortress, but rather a picture of an imminent attack on the Sava Fort......

This is a caravan, of course, not to storm the fortress...... And Eric has been following Leon's instructions to let the other Lion Kingdom lords come to gather so that the merchants can do business.

But during the assembly, Eric was somewhat unable to control the chaotic merchants......

Most of the goods brought by the merchants were specialties of the north, which could not be sold in the army, and they were bent on selling them in the south.

But the merchants didn't know much about strategy and tactics, they only knew that there were constant troops of the lords of the Lion Kingdom joining this huge team along the way, and they didn't know the number of people, but it seemed that there was no boundless......

In the eyes of the merchants, the strength of the group army was probably already very strong, and it was estimated that it would march to the Sava Fort at any time.

Therefore, the merchants planned to lean on the south first, so as to take the lead, so as not to be crowded behind and unable to keep up when the army officially went into battle.

In fact, the people who have come to converge are all small lords, and the real military strength of all of them is less than a thousand, but the merchants don't know......

As a result, the various caravans rushed to the south, which caused the 'army' to move slowly southward, and those little lords of the Lion Realm who had just joined Shuai's banner did not understand the situation very well, and seeing that most of the people were moving, they naturally followed suit.

Although Eric is holding the Marshal's Scepter, the Scepter is only useful for the lords of the Lion Realm, not for the merchants. After all, he is not Leon, and he does not have the same prestige and influence as the lord in the eyes of the merchants, so Eric really can't drag the merchants back who have made a difference......

As a result, the caravan and army group, which had planned to assemble on the east side of the Seven Forks Fortress, gradually moved to the Sava River, and seemed to be about to join up with Lehman's troops who were holding the bridgehead.

The main reason why Lehman has been holding on to the bridgehead is that Titus has been attacking on the other side of the bridge - Titus wants to lure the Lion Kingdom into fighting with the Duchy of Dexia, and of course he has to drag Lehman's troops at the bridgehead.

Now that the Seven Forks Fortress has been captured, Lehman knows that if he leaves the bridge defense area, it means that Lion City may be driven straight into by the Bacchus Empire, and Titus's style seems to be exactly what he wants to do, so Lehman can only keep guarding the bridge and dare not leave.

But the army of the Lion Realm appeared on the other side of the river, and General Titus, who had been dragging Lehman on the other side of the Sava River, was frightened - he really wanted the battle between the three countries to continue, but he didn't expect the Lion Kingdom to move so big and dispatch such a large army so quickly......

Moreover, the army of the Lion Kingdom didn't care about the Seven Forks Fortress at all, but it was like the whole army of the country had gone out to find trouble with his Sava River Fort?

In this case, what else is there to talk about watching the fire from the other side or taking the chestnut from the fire...... This must not be rushed away?

So Titus retreated to the fortress of Leila in a puff of smoke, and ran as fast as he could - when Agathon left the fortress of Leila, there were basically no people left, and the fortress of Leila was an empty city, just enough for Titus to station.

And with Titus' withdrawal, Sir Lehman naturally felt that there was a great opportunity, because the Sava Fort was empty, so he had to seize the opportunity to take it quickly?

Lehman became a world-famous mad lion knight at a young age, and naturally had an arrogant personality, and the Seven Forks Fortress was thrown from him, so he was bent on making amends.

He had been guarding the Qicha Fortress for more than a year, and he knew very well that as long as there were 1,800 defenders in the Qicha Fortress, it would be difficult to defeat it, so he also understood that the 'kingdom's army group' did not attack easily.

And now, if you take advantage of the emptiness of the Sava Fort to conquer it quickly, and then exchange the Savoie Fort for the Seven Forks Fortress, wouldn't this be equivalent to making up for the sin of losing the Seven Forks Fortress before?

In addition, there is a 'kingdom's army group' behind it, and the current marshal is Li Ang - with Lehman's understanding of Li Ang, he thinks that Li Ang will think the same way, so he let the 'army group' move closer to the river.

So Lehman did not say hello to the group army, but directly abandoned the bridgehead, and the whole army went out and quickly stormed the Sava fort - he wanted to take the credit.

Before the arrival of the army group, it was only for Lehman to take the fort of the Sava River alone.

There was nothing wrong with this idea, and Lehman implemented it well, and he did capture the Sava Fort at one point......

But he only occupied a day and a half.

Because Titus took all the manpower and supplies with him when he evacuated, and also destroyed the gates and drawbridges of the Sava River Fort, and all the city defenses were destroyed - destroying the city defenses during the voluntary evacuation was a regular operation.

The gates of the Sava Fort could not be closed at all, and there was no one to defend inside, so Lehman was of course easy to achieve.

However, as soon as Lehman entered the Sava Fort, a large army of the Duchy of Desa rushed over - and the Desa people also saw that the gates of the Sava Fort were wide open, which was naturally going to fight a dozen......

Due to their location in the south, the Dexia did not immediately spot the 'army group' across the river, thinking that it was because their army had driven over and scared Titus away.

Like Lehman, the lords of the Duchy of Dexia certainly had to take credit for this situation, and they all rushed quite quickly.

And Lehman's lone army had just entered the Sava Fort, and when the city gate was opened and there was no time to block it, the following army of course could not hold on to the Dexia army, and was forced to evacuate after only holding on for a day and a half, with heavy casualties, and Lehman himself was almost hacked to death inside.

But the Dexia people are actually not comfortable, Lehman's team is quite strong in combat, and the Dexia troops have more casualties than Lehman - Lehman has always thought that the 'army group' will come to reinforce and fight extremely stubbornly.

But it wasn't until Lehman withdrew to the marshal's banner with a wound and was about to scold his mother that he found that the so-called group army was actually just a large group of noisy businessmen......

In order to restrain the merchants from making any changes, Eric was almost crazy, and the troops from various small lords who were only a thousand people were used by Eric, and it was not easy to pacify the merchants.

Of course, it is impossible to come to reinforcements in this state, and if there are no negative events such as gathering crowds to make trouble, Eric is already considered to have good ability.

So Lehman could only cry and scold himself for being too impulsive, he really shouldn't have robbed of any merit......

After learning about the current situation, Eric and Lehman were both a little worried - the army of the Dexia people was just across the river, and if the Dexia people found out that this was a huge caravan, it would be a luxurious meal for the Dexia people, and if they ate this meal, they would probably be able to last for several years......

So Lehman and Eric worked together, and with great difficulty, they slowly brought the caravan back to the east of the Seven Forks Fortress, intending to hide a little further east, away from the danger zone......

After capturing the Sava Fort, the Dexia people found that the place was poor and basically had no harvest - the Sava Forts had been scraped by Brenus before, and there was not much left, and General Titus took the initiative to evacuate, of course, he would take everything he could.

Sending troops on a large scale, with nearly a thousand dead and wounded, but only getting an empty city, and not even the surrounding villages and towns, most of the Dexia lords felt that this battle was too much of a loss......

Bahad Khan Kadan, the leader of Desha, felt that it was too much of a loss......

Bahad Khan Cardin was the ruler of the Duchy of Dexia, and if it was the rule of the Pander Kingdom, he should have been called the Duke of Kadan.

In fact, 'Bahad Khan' is not the name or surname of Kadan, he is called Kadan, and his tribe is also called Kadan, and 'Bahad Khan' is actually an honorific title, which is roughly equivalent to 'the god-appointed Khan King'.

Descha is now an independent state, the title of duke has not been used for many years in the days of the Pander Kingdom, and in fact the Descha people do not consider themselves to be a duchy - they are no longer attached to any kingdom.

It is called a duchy only because Descha was a vassal of the kingdom of Pande, and the ruler of Dexia was made a duke by King Pande hundreds of years ago, and for historical reasons, other countries called Descha a duchi.

After being elected as the current leader of all the Dexia tribes, Cardin reverted to the honorific title 'Bahad Khan', which represented the gods.

Of course, this does not refer to the gods themselves. The god of the Dexia people is called 'Vata', and the image is a black stallion, which is the common belief of all the herders living in the Savannil Desert, and no one dares to call themselves gods.

The honorific title of Bahad Khan, in the theocratic state of Dexia, represents the common head of all aspects such as politics, military, justice, religion, etc., that is, the 'messenger of the god Wata on earth'.

This is not the same as the meaning of 'Khan'.

There are many people who are qualified to be called Khan, and in fact all the Dexia lords are Khans - they are an alliance of multiple tribes, and the leader of each tribe is called Khan, and the title 'Khan' refers only to the head of the clan.

'Bahad Khan Kadan' actually means that he is the leader of all the khans appointed by the gods, and his name is Kadan.

The core sphere of influence of Cardin's tribe is in the most central capital of Dexia, 'Toba', which is actually quite far from the Sava Fort, and has to cross most of the Savanil Desert.

In other words, the cost of Cardin's troop dispatch this time is actually quite high.

But he didn't get anything to gain from the fort of Sava but an empty city, and Cardin didn't want to occupy the fort for long - whoever took the fort would face two countries at the same time......

Cardin is a smart man, and he naturally won't waste his strength defending an unprofitable territory.

So he planned to find another prosperous place to rob a vote to make up for the loss of sending troops, and planned to make a profit and leave.

This is also the usual way of thinking of the Dexia people - although they never admit that they have anything to do with the Cato, they do have a similar logic to the Cato people, and they are basically marauders. It's just that Dexia has been transformed into a semi-nomadic and semi-settled state more than a hundred years ago, and now it is a country with a complete political system.

The closest to the north and south of the Savoie Fort are the military fortresses of the two countries - the Seven Forks Fortress occupied by Agathon to the north, and the Fortress of Leila of the Bacchus Empire to the south.

The large-scale fortress of Qicha Fortress is not easy to fight at first glance, and it will not be fruitful to fight, anyway, Agathon does not seem to come out, and it can be bypassed.

And the Raida Fortress is not easy to fight, and it will not be fruitful either......

In addition, the Dexia people found the marshal banner of the Lion Kingdom and a huge 'group army' dozens of miles east of the Qicha Fortress, and it seems that King Ulrique's troops are also in it - there are quite a lot of fleur-de-lis.

And this army group is slowly moving to the east at this time, and it seems that it is going to enter the Bacchus Empire from the east?

- Actually, at this time, Eric was leading the caravan away from the danger zone with the help of Lehman......

And the Count of Leon had just taken possession of Karen Deer Castle and subsequently became a marshal, and of course the king knew about such a great event.

In Cardin's opinion, since the Lion King made Leon the marshal, it was normal for the Lion Kingdom's army to invade the territory of Bacchus from Leon's territory.

Therefore, after discussing with his subordinates for a long time, Cardin planned to take advantage of the fact that the Qicha Fortress was occupied by the Bacchus Empire, and at the same time, the army of the Lion Kingdom was all moving to the east, and ran from the unattended passage on the west side of the Qicha Fortress to the Lion City jurisdiction to rob a vote......

Anyway, the bridge over the Sava River is unguarded now.

Cardin believes that since the 'main army' of the Lion Kingdom and the 'troops of Ulrik' are all east of the Seven Forks Fortress, the Lion City is mostly empty at present.

And the Lion City is the center of the entire continent, the most prosperous place in the whole continent, hurry up and run away, presumably you will be able to make a lot of money......

The Dexia people are actually self-aware, they have no intention of conquering the Lion City at all, they just want to take advantage of the 'Lion Kingdom's group army' before they can react, and grab the prosperous villages and towns around the Lion City before they can react - the Dexia people are desert nomads, and the cavalry is very powerful, but like the Gatu, they are not very good at attacking fortified cities.

But the problem is that Lion City is not empty at all now, and it can even be called a large number of soldiers......
