Chapter 141

"Come on, come on, come on." The soldier waved his whip and yelled, "or I'll throw a guy like you to feed him!"

Urged are some pale women, who shiver to push the car, will be a large number of cattle and sheep piled up in the city of herid city's municipal square. The battle was over. After the black dragon destroyed the wall of herad and half the city, the Dragon trainer controlled and calmed his anger.

Now, the terminator of this battle is staying on the municipal square, which occupies more than half of the square when it crawls. With the breath of the black dragon, occasionally there will still be a large group of Longyan flying out, burning the houses not far away.

The smoke was still in the sky, and the smell of charred flesh filled the tip of the nose.

It's like a nightmare that's coming.

Before they could cry for their dead husbands and sons, the women in herid had to face the army of Brittany who stepped into the city with high spirits. Count Brittany took over the city. He didn't want to restrain his soldiers, so the armed soldiers kicked door to door, rummaged and plundered.

It was a disaster for the people of helid.

They didn't even have time to escape, so the rebels blocked the city of helid, and the Black Dragon flew into the sky from time to time. People don't care about sadness, they start to live in the shadow of fear.

While the city of herid was providing food for the black dragon, the chief justice and the count of Brittany boarded the dock of Swan harbor.

The count of Brittany is full of manner in front of the common people, and he grovels in front of the director of justice, hoping to be his personal servant.

He graciously introduced the history of Swan harbor to the director standing in the sea breeze.

Obviously, the count of Brittany was the commander of the king's army, but the command of the battle was not in his hands from the beginning. It is up to the director of the judicial bureau to decide which family to win over, which family to pass threats to, and which city to attack first, including the time of war.

As soon as the chief justice waved his hand, the count was silent. The gulls were flying in the sea breeze. The director of the Judicial Bureau looked at the sea level and said, "they're here."

Far away, the sails appeared in the field of vision, and a fleet came with the wind. Soon arrived at the dock, pedal down, a well-dressed businessman and a tall and burly mercenary back and forth from the ship down. Seeing the judge director waiting at the dock, the merchant quickly stepped forward and saluted humbly.

Although he tried his best to show his decency, when he opened his mouth, the unique accent of hopeless inland sea still exposed his roots.

Count Brittany looked coldly at the way in which the chief justice attached more importance to the businessman than to himself, with an uncontrollable look of embarrassment on his face.

A bloody military contractor.

He cursed at the bottom of his heart.

Damn mercenaries.

The count will soon have to add the second half to his heart.

As the fleet sailed into the harbor, he finally understood why the director of the Judicial Bureau chose Swan harbor as the first attack target. A large number of well armored soldiers came down from those ships, and the Holy See hired a group of balinyles from the hopeless inland sea as the vanguard of the attack on Legrand.

Barilli is a collective name.

In fact, it refers to a group of mercenaries active in the small countries in the abyss and the hopeless inland sea area. There are often wars and conflicts between the abyss countries and the small countries in the hopeless inland sea for resources, but it is difficult for the small countries and the city states to support a large number of troops like Blaise and Legrand, so the mercenary industry flourishes in these places.

But compared with the heavy cavalry of gurendy, the mercenaries of Barilli are notorious for their strength.

"Balinlie" means "villain, greedy wolf" in the old hopeless language. Most of the mercenaries in balinlie are fugitives from various countries.

This mercenary is powerful and bloody. The gurendy heavy cavalry was the representative of the mercenaries in the classical era. The relationship between the leader and the soldiers was the relationship between the people and the partners. The balinlie mercenary was a new "military contract system". An excellent businessman acted as a pimp between the mercenaries and the customers. This businessman was called the "Contractor". Only the boss and employees were left between the military contractor and the soldiers Relationship.

The Bahraini mercenaries were soon stationed in the city of helid.

It is obvious that they are the protagonists of the next war.

But this is not good news for the nearby manor cities.

………………

The director of the Judicial Bureau and the Dragon trainer are in two ways.

The chief judge led the mercenaries to become the vanguard. Along the tributary of the doma River, he captured the small towns around the important military castles along the way, isolated the military castles and cut off the connection with the outside world. Then the Dragon trainer drives the black dragon to open the gate of the castle.

One town after another fell into the flames of war before it had time to respond.

The military order of this era is worrying, and the Bahraini mercenaries have nothing to do with the word "order". They plundered every manor they passed to get supplies.Hundreds of refugees began to flee, and they poured hopelessly into nearby cities that had not yet been attacked.

Upton County, not far from the territory of Brittany, is a place for refugees to take refuge.

With the influx of refugees every day, the north and South streets of Upton castle are full of refugees with families. They carry their life property and bind their children to themselves There is no more sad scene than this. There are so many sad voices everywhere.

There was an emergency meeting in the Rose Palace.

The war report was soon sent to the king, and the atmosphere in the palace was tense as never before.

"They cut off the traffic line. It's hard for our army to get there quickly."

General sheen frowned and discussed with the king.

When the news of the rebellion came out, the rose cavalry was called up for the first time. At this time, General John was on the way to the central battlefield.

In addition, the army is still concentrating.

In fact, when the king ordered Warwick pirates to raid the lowland alliance, General John had already begun to prepare for war.

However, at the beginning of this year, in order to calm the war in the north, Legrand had already conducted a conscription. In accordance with the provisions of conscription, knights only need to provide the king with 40 days of military service every year. Once the time limit is exceeded, the king will have to get the permission of parliament if he wants to recruit again.

It's not easy to get permission from the parliament. Therefore, the preparation during this period is more about the preparation of food, grass and materials in advance.

"Theold made a good move."

The king leafed through these urgent war reports without expression.

"Our opponent is not a fool like Archduke Glasgow."

The king and the Pope did similar things at the same time.

Legrand and the Vatican face the same situation. They all want to prepare their own army as soon as possible and seize the chance of decisive battle. But on the other hand, both Legrand and the Vatican are like a heavy chariot. If we want to make this chariot move, we are doomed to spend a lot of time and energy.

There is no way to drive your chariot instantly, so delay the other side's time to let the wheel roll.

So the king sent warships to raid the harbors of the lowlands, the allies of the Holy See, and the Pope planned the current turmoil in Legrand.

One thing that must be admitted -

compared with the army owned by the state, mercenaries naturally have enviable mobility. Therefore, when the king had to deal with the nobles of Parliament and make concessions, the Bahraini mercenaries had begun to burn, kill and rob.

However, Legrand could not employ a large number of mercenaries.

They don't have the financial resources of the Holy See.

"Their next target is Upton county."

The king is a little bit on the map.

"If they take uptown County, we will be cut off from the southeast." General sheen was worried. "I'm going to change the route of the rose cavalry right now and go to support purton."

"It's too late." The king said, "the rose cavalry now only marches to woodshire, and further forward is the territory of the pritany family. If you want to support Upton County, you must first fight with the pritany family. And by that time, puttonshire would have fallen. "

General sheen frowned.

The king dropped the war report: "go and deal with our councillors and gentlemen first."

"What about Upton county?"

General sheen asked subconsciously.

"Someone will go."

Answered the king.

His voice was inexplicably cold.

General Hearn suddenly realized one thing -

in the face of this rebellion, the king's reaction was particularly calm. It's like he was waiting for the rebellion and was going to use it to do something else.

As soon as the idea floated, some things had a new explanation.

Why did even the royalist nobles in the "change of the rose" hold their ground strangely? Why did the king specially transfer him back to the palace and let General John lead the rose cavalry instead? Why did the parliament come to a deadlock in such an emergency Nothing can make the whole country stand on the United Front better than the naked life and death of Legrand.

Thinking of the refugees and casualties described in the war report, general sheen stood in the king's study, like a cold winter.

"Is that so? Is that true? "

He asked subconsciously in a dry voice.

"Is that what you mean?"

"I'm the king. Order me."

The king said faintly that he put on his robe and went straight to the hall of the Parliament without any further explanation.

The housekeeper looked at general sheen and sighed at the bottom of his heart. He was vaguely in a trance, thinking of watching a child grow up.

At last the child became a king.He's the king, the knight doesn't want to do it, he does it. What a politician can't do, he can. He goes to hell, and he carries his sin. In order to win in the end, he used all means to become an infamous person.

This is the monarch.

………………

Upton city.

Lord gray, clad in armor, stood solemnly on the wall with his two sons. Dale nervously looked at the sky. Many people like him did this. Everyone subconsciously feared that the dragon would appear in the sky.

However, according to the news from the scouts, the Dragon trainer did not leave after arriving in newtshire two days ago, as if looking for something there.

But things didn't get much better.

It is still a difficult task for the city of Upton to confront the count of Brittany's army and the Bahraini mercenaries. They just hope that they can survive until reinforcements arrive - though that hope is very slim.

The tall catapult was pushed to the battlefield.

At the moment of seeing the catapult, count gray let out a sigh of relief, which means that the Scout's message was correct. The Dragon trainer and the black dragon did stay in Newtown.

This is good news. Count gray began to command the soldiers to keep the wall, no matter how provocative the Bahraini mercenaries were.

The iron arrow pressed on the bowstring, and the soldiers expertly pushed back waves of enemies.

The fighting went very well, or rather too well.

Count gray frowned and observed the whole battlefield. From the beginning of the battle, the Bahraini mercenaries had been lurking behind count Brittany's army and did not really join the battlefield. Now it's more like a A feint! Are they deliberately releasing false information? The Dragon trainer has actually arrived near the city of Upton?!

Count Gray's heart sank.

There was a commotion on the wall.

"What's the matter?"

Cried count gray at once.

The answer was an iron arrow from behind.

Dang -

count Gray's son, Cindy, was quick eyed and waved his shield to block his father's sharp arrow. More sharp arrows came from behind them, and the unsuspecting soldiers were nailed to the wall.

"There are spies! Father! There are spies Dale, the eldest son, was the quickest. He swore and roared.

A steady stream of feather arrows flew down the tower that should have protected them. Mercenaries constantly climbed the city wall from inside the city. They took out their machetes from their ragged lapels and mercilessly cut down the defenders who blocked their way.

"Stop them! Don't let them drop the drawbridge

Count gray saw what they were wearing, and instantly understood.

It's true that the Dragon trainers are not nearby, but the Bahraini mercenaries sneak into the refugee ranks and sneak into the city of putton, waiting for the fighting to begin.

The walls are narrow and the battlefield is chaotic. Sinri and dale try their best to protect their father and retreat towards the suspension bridge. However, there are several short and flexible mercenaries in balinline. They are running like monkeys in the city.

Click.

The control cables of the suspension bridge were cut off and the suspension bridge fell down.

The enemy surged up.

At the rear of the battlefield, the leader of the mercenaries in Balin showed a proud smile. He turned to say something to the director of the Judicial Bureau. Count pritany suddenly exclaimed, "who is that?"

The director of the Judicial Bureau, who had been observing the battlefield calmly, was surprised and looked in the direction pointed by the count.

There was smoke and dust on the horizon, and an army appeared like a shadow from the smoke and dust.
