-134- Go to war!

Charlotte's words finally aroused the fighting spirit of the nobles of the Northlands.

For a time, the nobles were full of fighting spirit, and once again competed for the title of the vanguard of the army, and they all wanted to be the first to charge to meet the battle.

Charlotte somewhat understood why these nobles were so interested in leading the charge.

In order to maintain her image, she did not ask much, but quickly handed over the command to Baron Angus, who was the commander-in-chief.

Speak when it's time to speak, and puff up when it's time to puff up.

When it was time to start fighting, Charlotte still trusted the experienced Baron Angus, who had commanded many battles, more than her own words on paper.

And Baron Angus also respectfully received the order, and began to command the various nobles and make arrangements before the battle.

Every nobleman in the tent had brought in a soldier.

In fact, they were the "officers" of the Castel army.

As long as they are given a task, it means that an order is given to the entire coalition army.

During the period when Baron Angus gave orders, Charlotte was not idle, but listened attentively, secretly learning how Baron Angus commanded and transferred the army.

It is true that professional things are handed over to professional people, but as a feudal lord, Charlotte also thinks that she must strengthen her military literacy.

Not to mention learning to be like those warlike kings, but at least to know the soldiers.

What surprised and intrigued Charlotte was that for the tasks of the nobles, Baron Angus's arrangement was very simple.

That is, the whole army is dispatched and directly attacks head-on.

He gave many command orders in advance, which was very simple and rude, and for the command after the start of the war, he only roughly asked the nobles to listen to the trumpet and act.

Of course, this was an order to the nobles of the Northlands.

In fact, the most critical part lies in the other place.

Before the battle began, Earl Gaston would send an emissary to contact the rebels, and with the suggestion of outflanking the Castel army, he would lure the Legliss family's main cavalry hidden behind the camp to meet them.

True, the main cavalry of the Leglis family was not in the camp, but hidden behind it.

This is the news that Sebas brought back after his own investigation.

Charlotte wondered if this was because the rebels also knew the identity of "Earl Gaston", and originally planned to launch a front and rear attack on Castell with Tulip's army, so they would hide the main cavalry.

After all, as long as the timing is right, the thousands of cavalry units of the Leglis family have every chance to cooperate with the standing of Tulips and directly crush Castel's coalition forces.

Of course, this may be the idea of the rebel leader.

Charlotte's plan was that Castel's entire army would initially be a feint, and would not actually charge the rebels' fortified camp.

After the Tulip Count's army sends a signal to the rebels to trick the rebels' main cavalry into engagement, the Tulip Earl's army will fight back and rush directly to the rebel main force to complete the encirclement with the coalition army.

At that time, it will be a real all-out offensive.

In the process, the Tulip Count's army will split into two parts.

The cavalry units will fly the banner of Boulder along with Castel's cavalry, and the Boulder army, which will act as the main force to lure the rebels, will suddenly turn against the rebels when the two sides are fighting, and the rebels will be caught off guard.

The infantry will hide in the coalition forces, and after the main rebel force is surrounded, activate the magic energy array, lead the noble coalition army, and officially launch a charge against the rebel camp.

Baron Angus also had only one purpose.

That is the first battle, the main force of the rebels will be completely crushed!

The battle plan was quickly arranged, and it was clear that the army of the Tulip County was the most important link.

Once the strategy is successful, the coalition forces will be able to defeat the main force of the rebels at minimal cost.

After all, there are more than 10,000 troops, and they have been waiting for so long, Castel's real enemy is in the south, for the rebels...... If you can reduce a little loss, you can reduce a little loss.

After the order was given, the nobles left one after another to prepare and mobilize their respective teams.

The official start of the war was set for the morning of the next day, and the coalition forces needed a night's rest as they traveled all the way.

At Charlotte's suggestion, the Earl of Gaston sent his eldest son, Otis as an emissary of "Boulder", and personally went to the rebel camp to meet the rebel leader after nightfall.

He will present a "battle plan" for Castel's frontal assault and "deliberate" on a specific plan to flank Castel with the rebels.

It's a simple and crude strategy, and the key is whether the rebels believe it or not.

Charlotte thought that the rebels would most likely believe it, but when Otis left, she was inevitably a little nervous.

No way, this is the first time she has participated in the war since the crossing, and she is still participating in the war as a lord.

Even though she was confident that she would win the battle of counterinsurgency, she would inevitably be nervous.

Fortunately, Otis returned smoothly after leaving for more than three hours, and he also brought back a certain piece of news in people's hearts -

The rebels agreed to the proposal of the "Tulip Army".

In fact, thinking about it, it is impossible for the rebels to doubt the position of Count Gaston, after all...... Who would have thought that an earl whose territory was behind Boulder and who had already sworn allegiance to the new lord would suddenly fall to Castel.

After Charlotte transformed the father and son of Earl Gaston into blood servants, the scales of this rebellion changed completely.

Interestingly, when Otis visited the rebel leadership, the leader of the rebel side even suggested to Otis that he could take advantage of the darkness of the night to launch a night attack on Castre's camp with Tulip's army.

And...... It seems that the rebels had intended to do just that.

Of course, this proposal was rejected by Otis.

The reason is that Tulip's army is not ready.

Along the way, the armor of the transcendent soldier has not yet been fully charged, and it is not convenient to deploy the magic energy array, which cannot cause effective damage to the Castel army.

"Who is the leader of the rebels?"

After listening to Otis's report, Charlotte couldn't help but ask.

The idea of a night raid really scared her.

It has to be said that the commander of the rebels is really sharp, and if they really launch a night attack on the Castel side, it will be really a trouble.

Although Castel can also lay traps in advance, at most it can only eat the rebels' sneak attack troops, and the only ones who can sneak attack at night may be a small elite force, and it is meaningless for Charlotte to destroy the other party.

"It's a baron of the House of Leglis, named Chait."

Otis replied.

"Chait? It's him? ”

Baron Angus raised his eyebrows slightly.

Charlotte's heart moved slightly:

"Who is he?"

Baron Angus replied respectfully:

"Lord Count, it should be Cette de Leglis, he is Lola's half-brother, the illegitimate son of the former Viscount Leglis, a young man with considerable command talent."

"It is said that in the past few years, he commanded the private army of the Leglis family to win more with less, and defeated the pirates of the north who raided the south many times."

Listening to Baron Angus's introduction, Charlotte bowed slightly.

"It's a pity that such a talented person is on the opposite side of Castel."

Sebas, who was on the side, smiled and patted his ass:

"Master, if you want to say excellent, you are the best."

"Compared to you, the new generation of the Leglis family is still not enough to see, even if he is good, he still falls into your trap......"

Charlotte didn't bother with Sebas's sycophants, this guy has been getting more and more self-conscious since following her, and he won't miss any opportunity to pat himself on the back.

"Lord Odis, didn't you see Lola among the rebels?"

It was at this moment that Viscount Leon Castel suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

Otis was stunned for a moment:

"Lola? The baroness of the Leglis family? No, not really. ”

He shook his head.

Charlotte keenly noticed that after listening to Otis's reply, Viscount Leon Castel frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

"Your Excellency, is there any problem?"

Charlotte asked.

The old viscount hesitated for a moment and said:

"No, it's just...... Strangely enough, I remember that Lola had always been wary of his half-brother due to concerns about family succession, but she didn't expect that she would let the other party lead the army alone......"

"It seems that something must have happened within the Leglis family in a place we don't know."

Listening to the old viscount's words, Charlotte's heart moved slightly.

She remembered some of the news that had come back from Nice after she had recently "defected" to the Leglis family.

It is said that after it "surrendered", it did not meet the top of the Legris family, on the contrary...... I often see the woman named Odoxia.

Or more accurately, the black dragon that turned into a human form.

It seems that the orders of the rebel high-ranking are often passed through the black dragon.

"Odis, is there a woman named Ordosia among the rebels?"

Charlotte asked.

Otis was stunned and replied respectfully:

"I don't think I saw it."

"Isn't there ......?"

Charlotte was thoughtful.

"Earl, have you found anything wrong?"

Baron Angus asked.

Charlotte pondered for a moment and shook her head:

"No, nothing, just a little curious about the movements of the rebel high-ups."

……

The night passed quickly.

The next morning, at dawn, the camp of the Castel coalition was slowly moving like a huge war machine.

After a night's rest, the soldiers' energies were regained, and after a breakfast of brown bread, jerky, and ale, the ranks of the various nobles began to prepare for battle.

The light cavalry, waving Castel's Black Eagle banner, shuttled through the small camps of the various nobles, delivering messages, and the nobles also raised their own family flags and began to line up to count their troops.

Charlotte stood on a hill not far away, which was relatively high enough to have a panoramic view of her camp, and not only that, but she could also see the rebel camp by the river and the soldiers patrolling the camp.

Of course, the most amazing thing is the camp of the coalition army, which may not be very intuitive when you are in the camp, and you can only feel the magnificence of tens of thousands of troops more fully when you look down from the hills.

Under the wave of flags, the armies of different noble families flowed slowly like a river, constantly combining and converging, and gradually forming a formed array.

The sun gradually rises over the continuous forests on the horizon, and the golden sunlight spreads across the land.

The stretch of the Donne River is like a golden ribbon that glistens in the sun.

The coalition also glowed in the sun, the armor of the nobles and soldiers.

Through the equipment on her body, Charlotte could clearly distinguish which were nobles, which were private soldiers, and which were conscripted peasant soldiers.

It is worth mentioning that in each array of nobles, at the forefront are nobles, dressed in fine armor, riding tall horses, or simply on foot.

Behind them were knights and privates who followed them, and at the end were the conscripted peasants.

Of course, there were far fewer knights following the nobles than in the past.

Most of them were summoned to Count Gaston and Tulip's cavalry to form cavalry for camouflage and raids.

The rest, just a few personal guards.

Seeing these nobles who took the lead, Charlotte couldn't help but sigh:

"The nobles of the Northlands...... I really like to be at the forefront of the war! ”

"Master, in fact, not only the nobles of the Northland, but also the nobles of the entire human world, in the war, they who have extraordinary power are always at the forefront, it is said that this is the creed of 'heroic' in the 'chivalry' followed by the human nobles, and it is also the glory and pride of the nobles."

Charlotte's side, Sebas, who was holding an umbrella for her, said respectfully.

"Is Chivalry ......?"

Charlotte muttered to herself and shook her head:

"It's clear that the commander is rushing so far ahead, and they are not afraid that the battle situation will get out of control because they are deeply involved in local battles and cannot grasp the situation from a global perspective......"

"Master, the human nobles have always been like this, and this can also maximize the extraordinary power they possess, if any nobles are really cowering behind, they will be ridiculed by their colleagues."

Sebas said with a smile.

Charlotte sighed:

"No wonder Angus had to give all the instructions clearly from the beginning, and after the war began, he only intended to communicate simply by the horn......"

"It seems that he didn't expect to be able to obediently mobilize these crazy nobles after the fight."

Sebas shrugged:

"No way, this is the human art of war."

Charlotte listened, but shook her head and said:

"No, it's Miria's art of war."

And at this time, the heavy and vicissitudes of the horn sound came from afar, resounding in the sky.

Charlotte's heart fluttered slightly.

This is the sound of the trumpet of war.

The battle between the coalition and the rebels is about to begin.
