May 358 in the Pande calendar.

The Pande continent is back in smoke.

A few months ago, when Leon and Roland joined forces to call for the entire continent to unite against heretics and demons, none of them provided effective support.

Not long ago, when Leon marched into the Lion City with various knights, all the nations turned a blind eye.

But now, just as Roland led the knights to clear out the undead forces left behind by Kavala, all the nations were attacking the Lion Realm......

The Bacchus Empire dispatched a large army to quickly capture the Shield Wind Fortress and launched a siege on the White Deer Fort without stopping.

The Fields had occupied Rock Bay and Mystery Swamp Castle, and the territory had expanded rapidly, and the northwestern part of the Lion Realm had fallen into the hands of the Fieldswils.

The Raven Kingdom army was dispatched and landed in the northern part of Talon - they did plan to go to Crag Rock Bay, but the nobles of Crag Bay defected to Fieldsway, and the Ravens did not want to fight a water war with the pirate lords of Fieldsway, so they turned to Rocky Bay.

As for why they didn't fight Lion Lake City, they had to gnaw Eagle Talon Fort, in fact, it was because in the eyes of the Raven people, Eagle Claw Fort was defenseless at this time - they planned to take Eagle Claw Fort as a stronghold first, and then force Lion Lake City to surrender.

If Boudis hadn't come to recruit new soldiers, Talon would have had little troops.

The Raven Kingdom believes that they don't have much equipment and baggage to attack across the sea, and they are not sure of storming Lion Lake City.

Talon Castle should be empty, and if you can easily conquer Talon Castle and make siege engines in the meantime, you can try to force Lionlake City to surrender.

In this way, you can not only make good use of your time, but also avoid the loss of strength by storming the city.

In fact, this is a reasonable strategic deployment.

It's just that Gregory IV probably didn't expect that the place of Eagle Claw Castle seemed to really kill him......

Originally, I thought that Eagle Claw Fort could be easily conquered with no defense, but suddenly a lot of troops appeared to defend the city, and they were extremely tenacious.

Gregory IV had no choice but to transfer most of his troops to the vicinity of Fort Talon and build siege equipment on the spot while besieging the city.

But at this moment, several bands of unknown origin appeared in the north of Eagle Claw Fort, all of them headed straight for the sea, as if they were planning to escape from the battlefield from the sea......

The bandits were fast, well-coordinated, and well equipped, and looked no worse than the regular troops......

Gregory IV felt that the people of the Lion Realm were really living in dire straits, and there were so many bandits that they really needed to be rescued by the Raven Army......

But no one would believe that a few small bandits could cause any trouble to the fleet of the Raven Kingdom, presumably to escape from the Gulf of Tonkin , so Gregory IV didn't pay much attention to it, and just asked the fleet docked at the sea to be on guard.

But what no one expected was that before the Raven army could attack Eagle Claw Fort, those few 'small-scale bandits' actually succeeded in snatching the fleet of the Raven Kingdom!

Yes......

The entire fleet, dozens of large and medium-sized warships, more than half of them were driven away by these 'bandits', along with the grain and grass on board......

The rest of the ships that didn't get away were all set on fire!

Gregory IV was stupid when he heard the news, he hadn't seen him for two years, was the green forest hero of the Gulf of Tonkin already so fierce?

Don't hide when you encounter an army?

And how dare you attack the fleet?

There are more than 600 Raven troops left behind in the fleet!

What kind of bandits can break through more than 600 fleets in a few days, and still be able to drive away most of the warships?

Are the current bandits so comprehensive capable?

How can you still sail a boat?

Of course, these people will sail the boat, this is the unit that Bao Daisi is going to use to fight back to Fairvia Island to regain the queen's throne, and from the very beginning, Bao Dai has been preparing for future amphibious operations, so there are relevant requirements when recruiting new soldiers, and they will also train to drill boats and swim in peacetime.

Moreover, this was originally a regular army, recruited by Amy, trained by Jocelyn, everything was according to regular standards, the treatment was very high, and the morale was quite high - Amy and Boudis vouched together, and all the squad leaders were awarded the status of 'Knight of Ficavia'.

In addition, this regular army has rich experience in playing bandits - they have become accustomed to robbing every day in the past few months, and their deeds are more like bandits than real bandits......

Especially when men and women are mixed together, anyone would think that these people must be mixed with the green forest road......

"Your Majesty, is this really possible? There are only 400 of us...... There were only a dozen people in each boat, which was only enough to drive the boat away, and there was no way to fight at all. Moreover, they are not very skilled in boating. ”

Boudis was at the helm of a three-masted battleship, and beside her stood Amy, who carried a musket.

"Don't call me Your Majesty, I've already abdicated...... Moreover, we are now pirates ......"

Amy looked left and right, and felt a headscarf tied on her head, indicating that she had successfully changed jobs.

"Ahem...... Sooner or later, you will have to be called Your Majesty's...... But are we really going to Changge Port like that? It's impossible for us to capture the ...... of Changge Port."

Bao Daisi was a little nervous, she knew the situation of her own troops, a group of recruits who had only been trained for a few months, took advantage of the terrain advantage to suddenly attack the Raven fleet at night, this was already a fluke - the Ravens didn't expect the bandits to take the ship, and most of the Raven soldiers who stayed behind were on the coast.

They were indeed very careful to be prepared, and they were patrolling day and night in two shifts......

But Amy asked Boudis to sneak directly to the Raven Warship with her troops, and then drove away all the ships that could be driven away, and used gunpowder to ignite the fire, burning the other ships that could not be opened.

There wasn't much fighting between the two sides at all, and the Raven Clan's fleet was actually stolen by Bao Daisi's troops......

This is entirely because I have been used to being bandits in this area in the past few months, and I am familiar with the environment, and I really have a tacit understanding when I robbed......

But looting in familiar places is completely different from attacking Changge Harbor across the sea, and these recruits can't attack Changge Harbor - they don't have the ability to storm any city.

"Don't worry, Bodethy...... We know that there are only 400 of us, but the Ravens don't know...... If you see two three-masted battleships and thirty two-masted warships, how many troops do you think this should be? ”

Amy seems very calm, after being a king for more than a year, Amy's temperament has become quite calm, after all, she is a person who has seen strong winds and waves.

"According to common sense, there should be more than 3,000 ......"

Boudis replied.

For a three-masted ship, there are only about a dozen people to drive the ship, but the standard crew will be more than 150 people during battle;

And the brig warship generally carried about 100 people.

If it is a short-distance landing operation, sometimes the maximum loading will be carried out - that is, the loading of materials such as food and drinking water will be reduced, and most of the space will be used to carry people, then more than 30 warships can carry 4,000 to 5,000 people.

"So, we can call it an army of four thousand...... Hum! We can walk sideways in the inland sea of Lion Lake! ”

Amy tightened her headscarf, wiped a handful of ash on her face, and then felt the axe in her hand: "Boudis, don't I look like a fierce pirate now?" ”

"It's not like ...... You're too good-looking......"

Boudis shook her head honestly and untied Amy's headscarf and tied it on her head.

Indeed, with her turban on, she was no different from those vanskerie pirates......

This thing mainly depends on temperament - Bao Daisi looks thicker, and after being seized by her own sister, she has a fierce heart, and looks fierce.

And she herself can fight in water, and throwing axes and spears are also weapons that she is good at.

"Bao Daisi, in fact, you are not suitable, the pirate leader still needs me to ......"

Jocelyn emerged from the cabin and wiped his beard.

Amy's eyes lit up: "Aha, indeed, Jocelyn is the best candidate...... Boudis, you should dress up as a Valkyrie - I've heard that Fieldsway has some women who have formed the Valkyrie Sisterhood, and they use the unicorn's head as their coat of arms, and it just so happens that your coat of arms is also a unicorn......"

Speaking of which, Jocelyn had been playing a vicious role when he was in Leon's team - at that time, he was the flag bearer, wearing two layers of black heavy armor, wearing a twilight knight's helmet with two horns on his head, riding his Cato war beast, and the whole person looked completely like the kind of demon that would eat children.

This time, Jocelyn donned his black hood, carried a large axe, and braided his beard in two—a style commonly worn by Fieldsway's pirate lords......

Thus, a 'large-scale pirate gang' was freshly baked.

At the same time, the entire fleet began to change its flags en masse, replacing all the Raven Realm flags on the masts with unicorn battle flags, which were the coat of arms of Bao Dais, with a blue background and a white unicorn with its front hooves raised.

And the Valkyrie Sisters, which were newly formed in Mist Cage City last year, have a heraldic head of a unicorn - which happens to be a blue background with a white pattern.

This is not a coincidence, the color scheme of the white picture on a blue background indicates that it was born in the sea, and the unicorn is the symbol of the feminist god Ficavia, and most of the female teams will use the unicorn-related pattern as their coat of arms.

However, although King Vidis did build a new Valhalla in Mist Cage City, the Valkyrie Sisters were not actually created by King Vidis - Fieldsway is a patriarchal society after all, and Vidis has been busy with war, so he doesn't have time to engage in any female knights.

Since Fieldway was dragged into the quagmire of war in the western part of the Lion Realm two years ago, the ongoing war has forced King Vidis to send many pirates to fight in the heart of the continent.

The military discipline of the Van Skerry pirates is indeed too poor, and their usual combat methods are actually plundering again and again, and they are not good at this kind of long-term and continuous warfare.

At the same time, the pirates fought in formation on land, which was actually a loss.

In order to reduce casualties, many Van Skerry pirate lords have traditionally used some women as 'shield maidens' to protect them.

These 'shield maidens' are part of the mythology of the Vanderskerry, that is, women who are allowed to go into battle. They weren't professional warriors, just women who had been trusted by pirates - most of them had been stolen by pirates.

These women fought during the day and stayed with them at night, and at the same time were possessed by these pirates on the battlefield and in their beds, but they were all poor people, and they were actually slaves in essence.

And from the year before last year to last year, the number of shield girls has increased due to the long-term battle.

Subsequently, some of the Shield Maidens encountered the Heroic Warriors at Castle Howling.

These heroic warriors followed Inna, and under Inna, they were dignified professional warriors who were treated the same as male soldiers.

When Inna learned what was going on with the shield girls, he asked the Heroic Warriors to help them - of course, Inna was mainly trying to get more support, and he wanted them to be his helpers.

After Leon's disappearance, Inna was in a state of displeasure, and for the Lion Kingdom, he was a king-killer, and no one dared to trust him except Leon.

For Fieldsway, Inna was born in the Lion Realm, and his adoptive father, Gondor the Doomer, openly supported Leon and attacked the Knights of the Dawn......

It's just that Inna has the Heroic Soul Warrior in her hands, and the Doom Seeker Gondor is famous, and no one provokes Inna when the war continues.

Although Inna still occupied Fort Howling, Fort Whistling was a blank field with few inhabitants, so there was nothing to worry about—most of Fieldsway's troops were deployed around Fort Howling at the time, but no one bothered Inna with it.

However, with so many troops surrounding Fort Howling, Inna can't develop......

Inna still has a sense of crisis, he knows that there are too many restrictions on the future development of his monarch killer, so he has been actively looking for opportunities, and what happened to the shield girls is a good opportunity for him.

Most of the time, the reason why the enslaved people have the desire to resist is not because of too much oppression, but because there is a contrast and there is a reliable leader......

With the help of Inna and the Heroic Warriors, the Shieldmaidens begin to join forces and eventually resist.

On a very ordinary night, they served the tired leaders and pirates as usual, and in the middle of the night, they killed the pirate leadership in their beds.

Subsequently, they joined forces with the help of the Heroic Warriors and formed a formidable force.

After this, they traveled to the city of Mist Cage with the intention of teaching King Vidis a lesson—it was Inna's idea, believing that the shield maidens had been enslaved and that Vidis should bear the greatest responsibility.

In fact, Inna's main reason is to hope that King Vidis will retire.

Seriously, Inna does live up to the nickname 'Provocation'......

Inna was young after all, and he naively thought that he would be able to settle the exiles in Fort Howling as long as Fields withdrew from the army—he at least knew that there were people in the territory to be able to afford it.

But the situation at that time was not something that King Vidis could withdraw from when he said that he could withdraw his troops......

At that time, the two major legions of the Bacchus Empire had been stirring up trouble everywhere, and if Vidis dared to withdraw his troops, Agathon estimated that he would be able to lead the first legion of the empire all the way to Fog Cage City, and then the Lion Kingdom might be freed, but the quagmire of war would become the hinterland of Fieldsway.

Vidis was already in a state of flux - the war had gone on for too long, and Fields had previously been plundered by Bacchus' fleet in many coastal cities, and Vidis faced a series of debts in Mist Cage.

And the arrival of these shield maidens made Vidis's already hairless head even bald—there were no troops in the city that could be used to suppress these women who had come to retaliate, and there were not enough dinars to use to recruit troops.

However, Vidis's baldness was indeed due to his extreme intelligence, and in the face of these women who were called by the 'provocateurs' to provoke trouble, King Vidis obtained their understanding in another way - he signed the charter of Vallides on behalf of all the nobles of Fieldsway, and gave these former shield women the title of Valkyrie (Valkyrie), that is, "the one who decides life and death".

In addition, he gave the women the newly built Valhalla in Mist Cage City, and publicly declared that Inna was still the rightful lord of Fieldsway.

That is, Vidis formed the shieldmaidens into a recognized and legitimate order of knights, gave them high status, and hired them to fight for Fields with houses, food, and equipment.

Vidis is still very good at improvising.

Since then, many of Inna's Heroic Warriors have also become members of the Valkyries, and they have officially become professional warriors based in the Valhalla of Mist Cage City, and have adopted the unicorn representing women's rights as the crest of the Knights.

At this time, the defenders of Changge Port found that a huge fleet with unicorn flags appeared in the distance outside their own port......

The fleet was far away, and no details could be seen, but the flag and scale were obvious, and there was an immediate panic in the port of Changge - could it be that Fields had attacked in a big way?
