The night was thick and almost invisible.
At this time, the moon seemed to be frightened by the cruel and ferocious killing on the earth, so she hid in the thick clouds and even opened her eyes.
Vicomte nordala, a territory connected with the fenlistine family fief. Although it is nominally a fief belonging to the hereditary Viscount Romes family of nodala, since a legitimate daughter of the finlistine family married to the Romes family a hundred years ago, this territory has actually been a vassal of the finlistine family, providing a large number of considerable taxes and precious resources for the finlistine family every year.
But tonight, this Viscount is doomed to a disaster.
A 500 member army responsible for guarding the security of the territory was completely defeated by a cavalry force just two hours ago. If the cavalry force did not mean to pursue, I'm afraid the army would be completely wiped out. However, even if hundreds of defeated soldiers gathered back, they had lost the courage to continue to be the enemy of the army that defeated them.
At this moment, the whole Viscount nordala and other leaders are completely unprotected military blank areas.
But it's not over.
After defeating Viscount nodala's guard army, the cavalry did not stop, but continued all the way south, destroyed all the visible facilities along the way, and even invaded and destroyed the important facilities of the town. In just two hours, viscount nodala lost more than 30000 gold coins. Even if Viscount nodala is willing to invest a lot of money in reconstruction, it will not be built and restored in one or two months. Therefore, if the accumulated losses over a long period of time are included, the conservatively estimated losses in this account will at least exceed 200000 gold coins.
This is only a loss within two months. If the time is longer, or the cavalry destroys more things along the way, the estimation of the loss will be more and more difficult and higher.
No Lord would allow such an enemy to wreak havoc on his territory.
But this time, the Romes family had a word of suffering.
Although the number of cavalry troops is less than 300, they are far more than their territorial guards in terms of weapons, personal strength and commander's ability. Therefore, only in this badge, because the Legion represented by this badge is the Duke of void, the Knights under Sean Connery, and the only knights in the kingdom of Ryan.
Scarlet knights.
In the face of a frontal assault by a real knights, let alone the territory guard of the Romes family, which has only 500 people and is usually lax in training, even if it has a scale of 1000 people, it will never be an opponent of the scarlet knights. Therefore, this big defeat is entirely reasonable. Knowing the decisions made by the fenlistine family and the territory of the fenlistine family, the Romes family naturally dare not continue to obstruct the progress of the Knights.
Not only dare not, but also have no such strength.
Therefore, for the destruction of the scarlet Knights along the way, the Romes family can only admit bad luck.
It's just that the fear that the Romes family will suffer tonight is obviously more than that. Because two hours after the scarlet Knights defeated the territory guard of the Romes family, there was another news that scared the current chief of the Romes family, Quik finlistine Romes.
The lion of thunder, one of the three main forces under the Duke of void, has officially joined the scarlet knights in the gray hills led by Viscount nodala. The grey Town, which relies on the Grey Hills as its main industry, was directly taken over by the thunder lion and under military jurisdiction. It has directly taken this as a stronghold for military fortress rectification. At the same time, it has also begun to deploy defense and announced that all the areas within five kilometers around are listed as military restricted zones.
The five kilometer defense area around Huiwu town happens to include the Huiwu hills into the defense area, and this defense line is just connected with the territory of fenlistine family. When the thunder lion occupies this area, it is equivalent to setting up an outpost in the marginal area of the finlistine family. Whether it continues to harass and loot the Viscount nordala or invade finlistine's territory depends entirely on the thunder lion and the scarlet knights.
This behavior is no different from invasion.
Invading the territory of other nobles is tantamount to declaring war on the nobleman and his allies.
Reasonably speaking, such unreasonable actions as Sean will certainly cause a strong rebound in the aristocratic circle, and even usually the beginning of the outbreak of civil war. But this time, viscount nordala was not even in the mood to ask the finnstein family for help, because he knew that even if he asked for help now, the finnstein family could not draw anyone to help him, because they were encircling and suppressing Sean in the territory.
It's just different from Sean's practice. They all do it secretly. At least they know how to wear a layer of camouflage.
But the empty Duke, who had no scruples about mobilizing troops to invade, was unwilling to do even a trace of disguise. Such a grand invasion was really unacceptable to Viscount nodala. But he also knew that the current situation was beyond his control. Whether he could accept it or not, he had to choose to bear it. As for counterattack and other things, the Viscount nodala has completely chosen to give up.
Because he had learned in just over two hours that the commander who led the lion of thunder this time was Alfred Vost, who swallowed the mountain lion Legion and won the name of the "Lion King". More importantly, it can include the area within a radius of five kilometers as a defense area, which is enough to prove that the thunder lion is not a small force such as two teams, but the whole thunder lion Corps.
But before that, viscount nordala didn't hear any news. The more he thought about it, the deeper his fear of the thunder lion.
However, he believed that by tomorrow, it was estimated that all the Lords of the surrounding territories would know that the thunder lion and the scarlet knights had invaded. With the official debut of these two armies, the storm taking this as the origin will soon sweep through and involve all the surrounding territories. Even a steady stream of troops will be mobilized and put here. At that time, this theater will officially become a butcher killing battlefield.
Thinking that the coming war was likely to destroy the whole Viscount nordala, the Lord Quique finlistine Romes wanted to cry without tears.
At the same time, in the outpost established in grey Town, the soldiers of the thunder lion are constantly driving away the residents of grey town. However, most of the soldiers of the thunder lion were naked, even without armor. They waved tools such as giant hammers, demolished all the houses marked with red forks, transported stones, wood and other materials to other designated locations, and began to build corresponding defense facilities.
The so-called military fortress rectification means that everything takes the stronghold defense as the core consideration. At this time, whether personal assets or houses should be demolished if necessary. Therefore, once a town is listed as a stronghold and rectified as a military fortress, it usually means that the town will be completely destroyed.
In a command center temporarily built in gray Town, Alfred was staring intently at a map on the table, on which several circles had been written in red ink, and there was a red line connecting all these circles. In addition, several places were painted with red slashes and marked with words like one, two and three.
Footsteps suddenly sounded.
Alfred raised his head and saw three Knights coming towards the command center. Two knights who were half a body behind the young knight in the middle stopped at the door of the command center, and only the knight in the middle stepped in.
"Lord Alfred." As soon as he entered the command center, the young knight made a military salute and stood upright opposite Alfred.
"Commander Dwight, you don't need to be so serious." Alfred smiled. "It's hard for you that night's raid and the destruction along the way."
"I just follow your instructions."
"That's not my instruction, it's William's instruction." Alfred smiled. "The combination of William and Hella is terrible. I'm afraid the Viscount nordara doesn't know how we infiltrate."
Thinking of this, as serious as Dwight, he not only raised his mouth slightly: "so what are we going to do next?"
"According to the information provided by Haila, William has analyzed the places where Sean may go, but Haila also said that those nobles will certainly not allow Sean to leave so easily. Therefore, if you go deep into the fenlistine family territory, you will inevitably encounter the enemy. Please be prepared for a large number of battle attrition." Alfred's look also became serious. "At this time, our biggest advantage is that other lords have not found our action for the time being, but according to William's speculation, the whole Ryan will know our invasion by noon tomorrow at the latest, so you have no rest time, commander Dwight."
"Lord Alfred, please." Dwight said in a deep voice.
"You must remember these routes." Alfred pointed to the places marked with a red circle on the map, "because the possibility of being sniped by the enemy is very high, you must meet the three requirements of no war, no division and no initiative before arriving at baimengsen. After that, the search area will change in the north and south directions, so you can only explore by dividing troops, but no matter what the result is, Finally, you will meet on the green spring river. Once your troops have not found the trace of Lord Sean after reconnecting, you must turn back here immediately anyway. "
At the same time, Alfred pointed to the slash area marked two on the map: "I will start after you. Here I will leave 3000 soldiers for defense, and I will set up two strongholds along the way south This is our second supply point. At that time, once the enemy knows that we have established an outpost in such a deep area, it will certainly launch a strong attack and cut off our back road. Therefore, we may need to regain the security of the logistics line at that time, so I need the assistance of the scarlet knights. "
"I see, Lord Alfred!" Dwight nodded heavily. "I will follow my orders."
"One more thing, please remember." Alfred said again, "according to Hella's estimate, you have only three days to move. On the fourth morning, whether you reach the green spring river or whether you find Sean, you must return to this stronghold immediately."
"Then if you still don't find Lord Sean at that time..."
"Don't worry, if we still don't find Sean, William said, we can let go and make a big noise." Alfred's eyes became sharp, and his true ferocity as the lion king was also revealed at this time. As strong as Dwight, he only felt that the murderous spirit coming on his face almost suffocated him. "I will assemble all troops directly here..." Alfred pointed to the slash area with "three" written on the map: "... Build a combat base."
Dwight looked at the mark on the map and his eyes shrank suddenly, but he was not afraid, but excited.
Because the place Alfred pointed to is the most important heart of the territory of the finlistine family - finlistenburg!
