Chapter 47: The Fall of Lionheart
The farmer imagines the future while his wife sews and mends his clothes, and the family enjoys a great time.
Li Yu and Ilea didn't stay here for long, because they heard that the prophet Merlin was coming, and after a while, everyone in the village came.
They also brought a lot of gifts to express their gratitude to Li Yu, and when Ilea was recognized, the people also cheered for the female lord, praising her for her wisdom and kindness.
When she left the village, Miss Rabbit felt a little brisker walking.
The two then went to a nearby farmstead, where houses under repair and newly cultivated ridges were everywhere along the way.
Blacksmiths sweat and clank on the forge table, while militiamen practice the training grounds.
According to the steward of the farm, it is even more lively if you come here on Saturdays and Sundays, and there are often balls and banquets.
In addition, he showed Li Yu and Ilea the newly dug cellar, including the food stored in it, to ensure that people had a place to hide in the event of a crisis.
Ilea focused on the security situation in the neighborhood.
Because of the large influx of new lords in Green Field during this time, it is usually accompanied by some crimes.
However, the situation is much better than Miss Rabbit expected, thanks to the rapid development of Green Field, recruiting people everywhere.
Even if a foreigner who has nothing can quickly find a job and support himself when he comes here, and the militia in various places have generally changed their equipment and stepped up their training, it will be difficult to provoke at first glance, and there will be fewer troublemakers.
The two then met a referee who was investigating a carpenter who had recently overworked two of his apprentices because he had taken too many jobs.
The young referee did not bother the client, but first visited the families that hired the carpenter and his apprentices to work, asking them about their working hours.
After gathering information, he found a family in the next village, and planned to hire the carpenter for a few days to see for himself if he had broken the precepts.
Miss Rabbit is quite interested in this matter and wants to know more.
But just then she saw a troop of cavalry galloping from a distance, bringing snowflakes with them.
At the head of the pack was her guard captain Thomas.
"Miss Ireya," shouted the captain of the guard from afar, "Oh no, something has happened!" ”
The female lord's heart also sank, "What's going on over there at Teacup Castle?" ”
"No, it's the royal capital." There was a hint of anxiety in Thomas's tone, "Something happened to the royal capital!"
"We just received urgent news from Lionheart Castle that the royal capital has fallen into the hands of those Wing Clansmen!"
"What?" Ilea was stunned, "How is this possible, hasn't the two sides been in a stalemate for more than two months, why did the royal capital suddenly fall, how did those Wing Clansmen solve the supply problem, or did the big nobles in the city betray?" ”
"It is true that some nobles have rebelled, and they are passing information to those Wing Clan people outside the city, and it seems that some small lords have secretly sent a batch of arrows to those Wing Clansmen, but it is the dragon that really turns the tide of the war."
"Dragons? Why did another dragon appear. Miss Rabbit was shocked.
As the dragon slayer hero of the West, no one knows better than her how terrifying those scaly, fire-breathing, and flying monsters are.
Although the female lord had killed one before, the process was not very easy, and Li Yu even went into the field himself in the end to kill the dragon.
"Not one, but three." "I saw them with my own eyes, and according to him, the three-headed dragon was stronger than the one we had hunted before, almost twice the size of the black dragon, and they flew from the south. ”
"South?" Ilea thought of something, "Elven Kingdom? ”
"Yes. Those long-eared creatures have officially declared war on us today, and their army has left the Emerald Forest and set foot on the land of the Empire, where they have fought the local nobles. ”
The continuous bad news has made Miss Rabbit a little numb.
After a while, she came back to her senses and continued to ask, "Your Majesty, ...... he?"
"The Tower of King's Landing is in ruins, Lord Reio is inquiring, but there is no news from His Majesty yet, he should still ...... Let's live. Thomas ended with a questioning tone.
Apparently he wasn't too optimistic that Garth would survive the disaster, and even if he was still alive, the WingClans had already captured Lionheart, and it was only a matter of time before Garth was captured.
The female lord realized the seriousness of the problem, and did not have the heart to continue wandering, and immediately returned to the castle with Thomas and the others.
Miss Rabbit searched through her study for a long time before she found a map of the empire, and it seemed to be hundreds of years old.
But maps are rare these days, especially the Imperial map, it's good to have them, and now is not the time to pick and choose.
The female lord spreads out the map on the table.
Found Lionheart on it first, and losing the royal capital would be a disaster for the Empire.
What's worse is that this is not the end, but the beginning of a disaster.
Miss Rabbit moved her gaze to White River City, about two days away from Lionheart.
At this time, reinforcements from all over the country were concentrated there, and the number was approaching 100,000!
Such a force is undoubtedly very strong, but this time they will face an opponent they have never seen before.
Duren, the former chief of the royal guard, was also in the house, and then he spoke, "If I were the commander of those Wing Clansmen, I would immediately send dragons to attack White River City."
"As long as the 100,000 reinforcements in the city are defeated, there will be no one in the empire who has the strength to stop me."
The female lord's heart was also very anxious, and when she heard this, she said, "We must inform White River City immediately. She asked Li Yu, "Does the Shuangxiu Sect have a contact there?" ”
Li Yu shook his head, "The number of radio stations is limited, and White River City is relatively close to Lionheart Castle, so I haven't arranged additional manpower, and even if I notify now, it's too late." ”
There are now 100,000 troops in White River City, which is certainly a powerful military force, but it is impossible for so many people to act so quickly together.
Even if they were willing to believe the warning of the Shuangxiu Sect, they would not be able to go far for a while, but in comparison, the three-headed dragon was amazingly mobile.
Although there was a huge disparity in the number of the two sides, the female lord was not optimistic about the support army, and looked at Li Yu, "Is there really no way?" ”
The Prophet of the Shuangxiu Sect shook his head slowly.
Miss Rabbit was stunned, and then asked Duren, "What if White River City is lost too...... So where will those WingClan go next? ”
"They should take the Red Plains first, waiting for that elven army to come over, and then there are many options, they can go back and eat the new land, or they can continue to advance westward and take the Elk Valley and the Golden Valley."
Duren paused, "I'm most worried about the morale of the Empire, the fall of Lionheart, another big defeat in White River City, I'm afraid some people will start to waver and reconsider their positions."
"That Wing Clan army is not very numerous, they can't occupy much land, if you want to rule this continent, you still need to rely on allies after all."
