Chapter 68

James stares at the commander: "angel is not a fool like you who will get lost in the snow for three days! They have been dealing with heavy snow since childhood! Now? Send someone out at once

The disapproval on the commander's face disappeared and he became serious.

He realized what the problem was.

Damn it!

That group of five Port Alliance assholes who are always procrastinating make him almost used to the transport team arriving at night!

It's really snowing these days.

But James is right. In winter, the cold current along the coast will make their snow as thick as the north. Moreover, as soon as the anguls have established a deal with Legrand, they will not become as lazy as the five Port Alliance in a few months.

Most importantly!

This is Newcastle.

Last year's riots just subsided, and from time to time there were mobs attacking the garrison troops here. Although all along, their attacks are scattered, like annoying mosquitoes.

"Damn it

The commander cursed. He didn't care to drink any booze. He turned around and walked towards the barracks.

"Get the hell out of here!"

The noise, the horses, the armor.

Soon the suspension bridge at the southwest gate of Newcastle rose, and the soldiers watched as the commander and his cavalry whirled across the bridge.

They rushed into the snow at the urging of the commander.

…………

The horses fell in a pool of blood, and the angel soldiers gathered together. They used iron and wood transport vehicles as temporary defensive fortresses.

But, to be honest, the temporary fortress is too shabby.

The anguls are known for their bravery and belligerence.

At the beginning, the Rosa royal family conquered angel for many years, but failed to completely pacify them. Although they are extremely poor and lack of advanced weapons, they often only wear leather armour and fight with fully armed knights with bows, arrows and spears. All along, they rely on their own quickness to catch the enemy by surprise.

For hundreds of years, they relied on this kind of guerrilla tactics to defeat the army of Legrand, but today these advantages have failed.

They escorted Tiemu away from the familiar mountains of angel to the strange north.

They were ambushed.

The other side is far more familiar with the terrain here than they are. The enemy lurked in a slightly longer Canyon, where they had to go to Newcastle castle.

As they reached the middle of the canyon, the enemy suddenly jumped out of the snow on both sides.

The enemy was dressed in a thick white robe and perfectly integrated with the snow. His breath was covered by the snow, and even the horses didn't notice the difference. When the snow splashed on both sides and found that the situation was wrong, there was no way out.

As soon as the officer of the angul transport team drew out his arcknife, the sharp arrow of "whew, whew, whew" sounded in the air.

Iron arrows, like rain, come through the air.

The officer waved away a few iron arrows, and his horse fell to the ground with a roar of grief. He staggered out of the leg which was pressed by the horse, and rolled to the bottom of the loaded iron truck to avoid the arrow rain.

It's a one-sided massacre.

Angel soldiers only have a simple leather armor, but the opponent's hand is actually a fine iron crossbow forbidden by the holy court.

Hard crossbow in such a short distance, save shot speed is so fast, even the most elite Angel Knight also too late to respond. As we all know, the reason why crossbow is forbidden to use is that it can penetrate the most excellent lock armour! This is a weapon known as the curse.

In front of him, the chain armour was like a piece of paper, not to mention angel's crude leather armour.

In the twinkling of an eye, the white snow was red with blood.

When the horses were injured, they ran hard and overturned the car full of iron wood, and the black logs rolled away and scattered all over the ground. The bodies of angel's soldiers and horses fell to the ground at the same time, and the air was full of blood.

He should do something!

Listening to the wailing of his comrades in arms, the officer clenched the arc knife in his hand.

In the sound of arrows and rain, the sound of horse's hooves is rapid.

The officer tumbled out from under the carriage. A horse without an arrow on its hind leg rushed from behind. The enemy's target was soldiers, not horses, so no one paid attention to it. The officer was almost trampled by the galloping horse. He quickly grasped the saddle, turned over and got on the horse.

The wounded horse took him out of the canyon like the wind.

At the moment when the officer rushed out, the enemy found the missing guy, and they yelled behind his back.

The officer heard their language clearly.

Newcastle was invaded by the sea barbarians in the west continent in the 12th century. Their language has deep-rooted barbarian characteristics. In particular, the local dialect is quite different from the common language of Legrand.These are the rebels in Newcastle.

A doubt flashed through the officer's mind:

- although Newcastle's economic situation is better than angel's, it is only better than angel's! Beidi has been suffering from poverty all the time, and can be called Angel's brother. So why do these Newcastle rebels suddenly have such sophisticated weapons?

Where did they get it?

These doubts flashed by, and officers would never be able to answer them.

Because the enemy behind him has re aimed the arrow at him.

The sharp arrow came through the air, and the officer turned his arc knife to protect his heart. In a flash, several arrows didn't enter his shoulder. At his waist, he almost fell off his horse and stuck with his stirrup.

The horse also got an arrow, whistling and speeding up, breaking out the final speed.

Man and horse rushed out of the canyon.

In the heavy snow, a cavalry came quickly from a distance.

With his last strength, the officer threw the saber at the cavalry.

Then he rolled off his horse and plunged into the cold snow. The snow rustled down and covered his young face.

"Something's wrong."

Commander Le Ma, he sword a horizontal, do not let his soldiers forward.

He saw the fall of an angel Transport Officer from his horse, and saw the arc knife not far from them.

"They have been attacked! We have to go to the rescue

The Knights around are in a hurry.

"No!"

The commander calmly looked at the dark Canyon, which seemed to be a poisonous snake with a huge mouth. It has devoured the life of a convoy and is now licking its teeth, waiting for new offerings.

"Withdraw!"

"Why?"

The Knights couldn't believe what they were told.

"I said withdraw!"

The commander roared.

Famous for their belligerence, angel soldiers choose to escape from the canyon and throw weapons of life - this is a warning to them! Hidden in the canyon is a huge crisis, even if they can not go to meet the enemy's crisis!

The other side chose to fight to convey the message to them.

"Withdraw!"

In the roar of the commander, the cavalry turned back to Newcastle.

The vast snow soon covered the body of the angel officer.

Soon after the cavalry did not approach and quickly withdrew, a group of people appeared at the entrance of the canyon. They were covered in snow-white cloaks, dressed in excellent armor that the North should not have, and carrying a cross bow with cold light in their hands.

"Go."

The leader looked at the shadow of Newcastle castle in the distance and said coldly.

Newcastle.

As soon as the guard yawned, he saw that the commander who had left in a hurry came back with his cavalry. He put down the suspension bridge full of doubts. Just as he wanted to ask something, he saw the commander rushing into the castle with a cold face.

"Stick to it!! Stick to it

The commander's voice command spread with the cold wind.

1432, less than a week from the end of the year.

An urgent message was sent from Newcastle castle.

When the prince of Buckingham in the Rose Palace received the war report, it was full of blood.

………………

Tomorrow is a new year.

Today is a jubilant celebration.

Thanks to the efforts of the city cleaning team, this is probably the first time that kosiya has ever been so tidy.

The streets are clean. The sewage system has laid the main streets. Where it has not been laid, garbage is no longer piled up as it used to be. Red banners were hung on the streets, trying to make the city look alive.

But it's not destined to be a peaceful celebration.

A dusty messenger rode into the gate, and soon he was received by the king.

He brought a message that cast a shadow over the festival:

north, Newcastle, once again set off a rebellion.

The war started at Newcastle and is spreading very quickly. Angel's transport to Newcastle was cut off, and the soldiers stationed in the north were struggling to hold on to the new Royal Military castle of Newcastle day after day.

Upon receiving the news, the king quickly returned to his study, picked up his pen and began to write the writ.

He issued a decree and appointed the Duke of Buckingham as the commander in chief of the army. He directly appointed the Duke with the power of recruitment.

According to the military system of Legrand, all the people who received the title and land from the king had the obligation to lead their knights when the order was issued. This is also the common military system of all countries in this era, but the time of cavalry military service is limited, 40 days a year.Fortunately, in the "change of the rose", the king relied on the army of the anguls, and the confrontation between the Duke of Buckingham and the Grand Duke of Glasgow at that time was also not within the scope of military service.

"Do you think the Duke of Buckingham is ready for conscription?"

Charles watched the king write the decree.

"Yes, he will." The king replied, "but he doesn't have that power, so I give it to him."

There is no room for peace talks, and there is no need to hold any more damned meetings to negotiate. Those who are in charge of meat and wine may feel that this is a common rebellion no different from the past. However, from a long distance, the king has determined that his uncle will make the same choice as him:

fight.

This is not an ordinary rebellion!

Behind this rebellion is the shadow closely related to the Pope's arrival in Blaise.

Over kosiya, the new year's bell rings. In the north wind, the hawk flies.

And in this new and old days, on the sea of the abyss channel, a dead plague ship is coming towards the southeast of Legrand. The prophecy made by the witch has come true:

- the pestilence ships, like the dead fish, come across the sea.

The crowd outside was still in joy, and the king's messenger had rushed out of the gate with the letter to the Duke of Buckingham. At the same time, the order, which symbolized the war, began to spread to all the counties of Legrand.

1432 has passed.

In the early sun of 1433, the Duke of Buckingham made the decision to fight immediately in the palace, and the plague ships were approaching the coastline to the southeast of the king's town.

The real storm started.
