Chapter 461: Ready to Run? (Thank you for the reward of 'Curtain Roll Moon'!) )
Holding a long sword on the soldier's neck and listening to his horn, Gervais breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the army of the Duchy of Jean in the distance had also begun to withdraw rapidly.
As for whether the king would trouble himself later, Gervais felt that when they saw the movement in the distance, they would have to thank themselves.
"Who blew the trumpet?"
The King's elite knights were the first to return to the high platform, and Avery, the Counts, who did not want to withdraw, were all grim-faced, and they were eager to kill the soldier who blew the horn alive at once.
So, before King Lawrence could speak, Avery asked angrily.
"Yes...... It's ......"
"I asked him to blow the horn and collect the troops!"
The soldiers on the side were already trembling with fear, and of course Gervais would not let him take the blame, and immediately took over the conversation.
"Viscount Gervais, you are so bold, do you know that you can be directly executed if you pass on false orders on the battlefield! Even if you're a viscount, it's no exception! ”
Avery and Nemio gritted their teeth as they looked at Gervais.
"Your Majesty, this Viscount Gervais has a fake military order, if it is not severely punished, the army will definitely be discouraged!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I doubt that Gervais has been bought by the Duchy of Alban, after all, he has been in the Duchy of Albanne for so long! The troops just collected are obviously to help the Duchy of Alban! ”
Nemio wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to directly slap Gervais to death, and immediately began to buckle the big hat on his head.
At this time, the retreating small vassals also felt one after another, and when they heard the quarrel in front of them, they all looked at Gervais angrily.
They fought so hard that they were almost on the verge of victory! Now everything needs to be restarted, and it is these low-level nobles and soldiers who really pay for the blood.
"Count Nemio, Count Avery, I don't know if I'll die or not, but if you talk any longer, we'll all die together in a while! And you two will definitely die before me! ”
Gervais looked at Nemio and Avery like idiots, and sneered, before ignoring them and looking at King Lawrence.
"Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent, please go to the high platform and look into the distance! Make a decision sooner! ”
After saying that, Gervais silently looked into the distance and said no more.
King Lawrence and the Lord of the North and others were shocked when they saw Gervais so solemn, and they could no longer sit still, so they immediately turned over and dismounted, and jumped onto the high platform.
And when Nemio and Avery saw Gervais like this, although they hated it in their hearts, they could only endure it for the time being, thinking that they would attack again later.
It's just that when everyone reached the top of the high platform, they followed Gervais's gaze and immediately found that the overwhelming cavalry was galloping towards this side, and it would take less than ten minutes at most to reach them.
Everyone was scared into a cold sweat
"How is that possible! Where did so many cavalry come from! That's at least 20,000 horses, right? ”
Seeing that the army of black oppression was galloping towards him, someone muttered to himself in astonishment.
Such a number of cavalry is already comparable to the cavalry of all the large and small nobles and vassals of the Duchy of Jean combined.
"Could it be the Duchy of Xis! But this is the heart of the Duchy of Alban, so how likely they are to come? ”
Everyone had a guess that there was no cavalry of this kind except for the three principalities, not even the church.
According to rumors, the church has three major knights, and the Holy Knights on the surface are only 3,000 people, not to mention the strength, according to this estimate, the number of knights in the church is at most 10,000.
Moreover, the other two knights are just legends, whether they are true or not, everyone is not sure.
"Yes! More than 20,000 cavalry, that is really a national dispatch, what does the Duchy of Xis want to do, are they not afraid that the church will take advantage of the situation? ”
The Duchy of Xis has always been a bridgehead for the mainland nobles to guard against the church, and if there is really an abnormality in the church, the first to bear the brunt of it must be the Duchy of Xis.
Both King Lawrence and several Earls found the events in front of them too strange to understand.
"Perhaps...... Has the Duchy of Xis been converted to the Church? ”
At this time, Gervais, who had been silent, spoke.
"How is this possible! It is impossible for the aristocracy to submit to the Church! ”
Avery immediately stepped forward to retort.
"Your Majesty, I think that whether those cavalry are from the Duchy of Xis or not, or whether they are related to the Church, we had better prepare in advance."
Gust suggested at King Lawrence.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Maybe it was because of this incident that the Duchy of Albanne withdrew troops before, and just taught those masters to plot against the two counts of the Duchy of Alban! They must have big plans this time! ”
Alice, who had not spoken, could not be silent at this time, she trusted Gervais.
Moreover, the Church had also attacked Rose Castle in the first place, so Alice was the most wary of the Church except for King Lawrence and the Lord of the North.
"Pass my orders! Face south, quickly form a formation! ”
"All the cavalry go to the front of the army!"
King Lawrence also knew that the situation was urgent, no matter what the identity of the cavalry in front was, but the one who came must not be good, so he immediately began to give orders!
Whining~
With the order of King Lawrence, the soldiers who had been a little confused after retreating began to reline under the leadership of the officer, and more than 5,000 elite cavalry also rode to the front of the army to prevent the cavalry from far away from attacking the infantry phalanx.
……
Six minutes later, when the military formation on the side of the Duchy of Jean was hurriedly arranged, tens of thousands of cavalry in the distance finally arrived here.
The direction they came from was the direction of King Hayden, and if they had gone straight, they would have crashed into the army of the Duchy of Albane as soon as possible.
However, I don't know what kind of consideration they had, when they were a mile away from the Duchy of Alban, they spared an arc, bypassed the camp of the Duchy of Alban, and came directly to the central part of the Duchy of Jean and the Duchy of Alban.
"Sure enough, it's from the Duchy of Xis!"
When the army of the Duchy of Xis slowly came to a halt on the battlefield ahead, several counts on the Duchy of Jean side immediately recognized the banner in their ranks.
Since then, the soldiers and horses of the three principalities of Eurasia have gathered together at the same time.
"Your Majesty, dozens of cavalry from the ranks of the Duchy of Xis have rushed out!"
At this moment, several counts were still watching the movements of the Duchy of Xis on the high platform, and immediately discovered that the Duchy of Xis had sent dozens of cavalry to the center of the three parties, as if waiting for the other two principalities to go to the meeting.
"Gust, you stay here to prevent any emergencies, and the others will come with me to see what is going on in the Duchy of Xis!"
Subsequently, under the leadership of King Lawrence, all the counts, except for the Lord of the North, followed Lawrence towards the center of the battlefield.
Gervais was about to follow, but before he could catch up, he quickly pulled past Ike, who had been waiting for him from the high platform.
"Ike, you go and gather all the centaurs, including the medical team, and get everyone ready to evacuate!"
Gervais quickly commanded Ike, paused, worried about an omission, and immediately continued.
"Be sure to prepare a sufficient number of wagons, and if they are not enough, you can unload all the small trebuchets, and you must let anyone who does not have a war horse to ride on the carriage!"
"Yes! My lord! ”
Ike didn't know what was going on, but he wouldn't hesitate to carry out Gervais's orders.
"By the way, by the way, I sent someone to secretly talk to my father, Baron Pat, and Baron Bertram!"
"Yes! My lord! ”
Ike continues to be!
In this way, Gervais asked Ike to hurry to do what he had explained, and then followed the king and the others towards the center of the battlefield.
Gervais had a guess that the church might have more to do than that.
Because even with the 20,000 cavalry of the Duchy of Xis, it is impossible to really annihilate the armies of the Duchy of Jean and the Duchy of Alban at the same time.
So Gervais suspects that the church will do something about it next.
And Gervais felt that no matter what the final situation was, he had to be prepared to run away just in case.
Of course, even if he guesses wrong, that's okay because there's nothing to lose!
