readx;? The province bordering the kingdom's center of power in the southern part of the Acasta Plain is known as Dowofberg, a historic county that belongs to one of the few staunch conservative families in Avenella. In contrast to the vastile archdukes www.biquge.info, who were as good at intrigue as their relatives on the Sivalier side, the family of the Counts of Douwolfburg were staunch royalists, and it was clearly the right thing to do to place them on the borders of Acasta to distinguish between the centers of commerce and power as a solid shield to protect the hinterland of the kingdom.

The territory has a long history and the knights are quite powerful, but the Count of Wolf Berg's support for the Shulfaga family is not just a simple matter of nobles supporting the royal family, which can be seen from their names and appearances.

Sivalier and Avenela have no such pronunciation as "shu" or "sch", and the syllable "berg" after "bo" is really simply "borg" without elongation after the pronunciation of "bo".

In addition to the linguistic distinction, the appearance is even more obvious - the typical Sivalier nobleman, with black hair. In Yavenella's two-century history, black hair has also been used as a symbol of prestige for many years. The fact that the royal family of Shulfaga and Dowofberg are all blonde is inseparable from the long and bloody history of the West Coast.

Sivalier did not begin with its current territory, in addition to Avenella, it had another neighbor, Maximilian, a small but powerful kingdom that had expanded throughout history only to be divided by civil war. Later, the expanded Sivalier forced its tentacles to cut off the connection between Avenella and Maximilian, and repeatedly attacked and annexed during the period of its power.

Today's so-called Avenella people are actually Maximilian people in many years - but they were not called this name at that time, and the so-called Avenella dialect is actually a simplified Maximilian language, so ordinary Avenella and Maximilian have a lot in common, which is why the Maximilian Kingdom declared an alliance with Avenella after Edward defeated Sivalier. These blonde Avenella and Maximilian can be found all over the West Coast and even far south, and their status is very low due to the strength of the West Valiers in the past, but there are still some Maximilian nobles who have become part of the culture and become part of them, just like the Northland left by the Spinns in the north of West Valier.

Most of these people were the high nobles of the Maximilian people in the past, and at the peak of the Sivalier period, the king who was good at buying people's hearts made them submit to become the nobles of the West Valiers and thus merge the land without bloodshed, but the cultural and linguistic barriers still exist, human beings are always good at judging people by their appearance, although the blonde and blue-eyed Maximilian nobles grew up in the West Valiers, learned their culture, and even intermarried and had offspring, but they were always out of place. Therefore, when it was necessary to reclaim the land on the side of Arvenella, the Shulfaga family and some other Maximilian nobles were thrown out as a burden in the name of honor.

One of them is the Douwolfborg, an ancient Maximilian word that has a lot in common with today's Avenella, where "Wolf" means leader wolf and "Borg" means castle. The modern, simplified version of the more accessible Avenella has reduced many of its words to the point of being called "Wolfberg", which is what the folk Avenela usually refer to as this small city-state.

Wolfsburg.

......

You can tell the features of Wolfsburg at a glance from a great distance.

In contrast to today's Avenella people's preference for Gothic castle buildings with arched supports and spires, and the Sivaliers' preference for the romantic Balrod style, the traditional Maximilian castle is rigid and rigorous, with no superfluous decorations, built purely for the sake of practicality, the blackened exterior and boxy structure are their best signs, and the effective protection provided by the multi-level walls and the narrow arrow cracks that stand all over the walls also prove that it is more than just a strong appearance。

The local peasants of Dowofberg, who were reluctant to stay away from the castle, would call it the Black Castle in addition to Wolfsburg's real name, which was a kind of echo to the White Castle on the other side of Vavasika - and this was the first enemy that Edward would face when he led the army south.

The county of Douwolfburg was a solid iron plate for this expedition - it was impossible for Edward to send all his troops to suppress the possible attacks of the Ottolos and Sivaliers, but fortunately the number of peasants and freed northern slaves who had volunteered to join his ranks since the March Declaration had grown to 100,000 men. Although most of these people were poorly armed with axes and clubs, and it was extremely troublesome to mobilize them, they still looked extremely impressive in terms of light and sound.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. Our Sage and Mira were with them this time, but even without them Edward would not have made the pediatric mistake of being ill-prepared, and the equipment and weapons that had been accumulated and purchased were all thrown into it, and before Ashbern II in the south could convince the wandering dukes to form an army with him to meet his "unfilial son", Edward had already arrived south of Acasta with a vast army of men.

He did not bring his army any further closer to the Wolfsburg, because the loss of even 10,000 well-trained soldiers would have to pay a great deal to get close to the Wolfsburg, because the vast majority of the army, which was still just ordinary peasants, would blindly pounce on it, and the result would only be corpses scattered all over the field.

Time was of the essence, and it was not known whether Ahibourne II's side had already mobilized an army to support them, but it was for this reason that it was necessary to slow down and watch carefully, and not to be impatient and impulsive and lead to defeat.

Therefore, on the border of the Acasta Plain, they were stationed on both sides of the Garril River valley and formed a very spectacular deterrent with an army of more than 100,000 men. The soldiers of the Count's family, who were watching from afar in the castle, had a certain sense of fear in their minds. After all, the nobles of Avenella had been fighting a dozen or a thousand men at most, so even if they knew that most of their equipment and training were poor, they would still be nervous because of this.

The Wolf Bandard is a typical Ecasta territory, with a castle rising from the ground as the central point, scattered with many small towns and villages, plus a large area of farmland without much obstruction, on a sunny day, people standing on the high part of the castle can even see the winding Garlil River in the distance for a long distance, so even if the distance is equal, they can still feel the momentum of the army of 100,000 people.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. While the peasants, who had taken up arms and followed Edward's fight for him, began to camp on the banks of the Garriel River in various moods and began to repair, Edward, with a few elite henchmen and Henry, stayed in a large tent made of canvas, dressed in full plate armor as he had met the two sages for the first time, and began to discuss plans to deal with Wolfsburg.

But among this large pile of old faces of Avenella, there are several new characters mixed in-

Edward's way of buying the hearts and minds of everyone in Luoan by acknowledging the correctness of Lena's throne worked, although not everyone bought their account, after all, such a young Luoan girl who didn't know anyone was pushed out and said that it was the Luoan royal family There are also people who are skeptical, but fortunately, a considerable number of those who buy it are former Luoan warriors who are exiled in various parts of the people.

These people were real fighters, and although they were not numerous, they had not been tempered in twenty-one years of life - just like Mira's parents had refused to become bandits, even if they did some servant work, they still had to maintain a certain dignity, and to Henry's surprise, he was still over sixty years old in one grade, but in every way reminded him of his old friend Bernie.

The name Vladimir Lesky did not mean anything to most of the West Coasters, and even the two Loan maidens, Mira and Lena, tried to persuade him to go back and enjoy his freedom when they saw this emaciated bearded old man coming to join the army, but our sage and the other Loans who had also lived through the Great Patriotic War and were over forty years old noticed the connection between this seemingly ordinary name of Loan and the age of the old man who was blind in his left eye.

"Vladimir Udaloy Lesky?" Henry said in astonishment, and even Edward and a bunch of others, except for Mira and Lena, turned their heads at the name-

With the addition of the word Udaloi, his mundane name became a legend - the last Duke of Loan, the fearless Lesky.

"It's just a defeated general, not enough to be brave. The old man smiled humbly, replied in the very standard Avenella dialect, turned his head, and said to Lena in the Roan language, "Your Majesty, Minister." ”

"Your gray hair, Mother Luoan, doesn't seem to have forgotten us. He sighed, and Lena glanced at her long ivory-white hair, a little puzzled why she had mentioned it, but then she reacted quickly, the Duke, though he had always known him only and now seemed to be a dying old man, was still a true hero of the history she had heard and seen as a child.

"Welcome, Lord Duke. Lena replied in a proper manner, it has been more than two months since she returned to Arvenella, and after a long period of study and recuperation, she has become more and more of a royal attitude, and the cowardly and nervous appearance of the past has gradually disappeared, and she can only choose to become strong quickly with the fate of a nation and a country.

"The afterlife is terrible, the afterlife is terrible. Looking at Lena and Mira, who seemed to be a knight of the guard, Lesky said with a smile. And the news of the Duke and His Excellency's accession spread quickly, like a bombshell, so that those Loans who were wavering but still hesitant came to join one after another, and Henry and his party did not even need to do anything to control the public opinion of the people, and the public opinion naturally developed in a favorable direction.

Compared to a little-known princess of Luoan, the name of Archduke Lesky is obviously more resounding. He was a true hero in the hearts of the Loans, and it was because of this "Udaloi" that Lena's parents were able to flee under the command of other nobles when there was only one city-state left in the final stage of the Great Patriotic War, and many of the Roans who were exiled to the West Coast deeply remembered the Grand Duke of Loan, who was in the prime of life at that time, and led the death squads to rush out in the opposite direction to them.

In any case, Edward and his others benefited greatly from the addition of Archduke Lesky in many ways, in addition to his powerful help in terms of appeal, as the top military commander of the Roans in the past, he accumulated a wealth of experience, and it will certainly come in handy in the upcoming war. Therefore, Edward decisively entrusted this old man, who was obviously just joining, with a heavy responsibility, and his move further bought Luo An's heart. And even the Grand Duke Lesky himself said very humbly: "This old sword, which has not been used for twenty-one years, is no longer very sharp." His methodical command during the march of 100,000 men still reveals the fact that the wisdom accumulated over the years has not been lost, but has become more profound.

-- Let's return to the present.

In the big tent, in front of the improvised map drawn by the scouts, everyone gathered in a group and began to discuss tactics.

The Luoan people are an out-and-out fighting people. And in the face of such a hard bone, under great pressure, they must quickly take Wolfsburg, in addition to our Sage Sage, the old duke's rich experience in mobilizing troops is obviously also an extremely important basis for victory.

"It's tough, but it's not like we're out of the woods. "Perhaps because he is also a man of wisdom, or perhaps he is indeed very similar to Bernie in many ways, Lesky has quickly become acquainted with our Sage since he joined, and the two of them studied the map for a while, and even before the words were spoken, the four regions of plains, towns, forests, and rivers where their eyes and fingers fell also benefited Edward and the other northern nobles who stood by and watched.

This is a battle planned by characters from two legendary classes.

But that doesn't make it any less brutal and bloody.

On April 17, 192 in the Avenela calendar, the Battle of Dowofberg officially began.

But it was not the knights or soldiers of either side who were the first to be cut to the ground, but the trees of the Protacian Forest. )
