Baron Shaheen and Baron Felim felt a little baffled by the messenger's return. A few days ago, a large group armed by the Norton family passed by their territory and said that they were going to attack the capital of Windbury to capture the second prince, and now they said Lorist was coming to Gildusk City to meet with them, and he really didn't understand what happened.
However, this did not prevent them from welcoming the arrival of Lorist's party. At this moment, the two barons were walking around the cross on which the body of the Great Swordsman of Galinan was nailed, and were amazed.
Lorist got a four-wheeled carriage this time, nailed a cross on it, and then nailed the body of the Great Swordsman of Calinan on it to show off all the way. Anyway, the corpse of the Great Swordsman has been treated with embalming agents , there is no need to worry about its decay within two or three months.
"Lock, it's a bit too much for you to do this. After all, you are a third-level great swordsman, who claims to be a half-step peak, and a step further is a figure of a sword master. It is not appropriate for you to crucify his body on a cross... Baron Felim said, looking at the body of the Great Swordsman of Calinan.
"Chuck, I didn't regard him as a great swordsman, he was just a despicable assassin. Since he can come here to assassinate without regard to his reputation as a great swordsman, I can treat him as a despicable assassin if he fails." The assassin’s corpse was hung up for public display." Lorist said disdainfully.
Baron Felim's full name is Felim Charward, and his nickname is Chuck.
"Your family has suffered heavy armed casualties, right?" Baron Shaheen asked. He had seen Great Sword Master Kalinan twice, and he knew that this old man was much more powerful than his junior brother, Great Sword Master Lu Yinsi. The sword master couldn't do more than a hundred moves under the hands of Gallinan, and when he was the golden knight under Duke Lukins in the past, he was teased twice by the great sword master Ruins, and in the end he could only swallow his anger. tone.
Lorist sighed a long time: "This old man killed nearly 500 soldiers of my family, as well as eleven knights of the Silver family, and even Bodfinger and Josk were seriously injured. I also raised two I have been injured for many months, so this time I will never let the second prince go. Nailing the old man's body on the cross is to publicize the despicable behavior of the second prince who ordered the great sword master to assassinate the lord, and let people know that he was not at all. The qualifications of the king. This way, even if he is captured, no one will criticize our Norton family as a rebellion."
"What can you do if you catch him? You have a bad reputation for killing kings..." Baron Felim's worry is not unreasonable. Even if the second prince is not qualified to be king, the crown is still on his head. Killing a king is not a good name for a noble family, Thea.
"It's okay, I'll imprison him for a while, and if I have a chance, I'll hand him over to the Second Highness of the Antinac Kingdom, and let them be judged and dealt with as the inheritance of the former empire's Krissen royal family. That's their family business." Lorist said early. I made up my mind.
The two barons held out their thumbs together.
"Your method is awesome. It not only made people speechless, but also avenged yourself. The Antinac royal family hated the first prince and the second prince deeply. If they hadn't raised the rebellious flag, how could such a huge empire disappear in smoke? Yun Mie, torn apart. If the second prince falls into their hands, hanging him can only be said to be a very merciful treatment." Baron Felim nodded in praise.
Baron Shaheen pointed to the body of the great swordsman and asked, "Locke, are you going to go to the capital of Windbury like this? Is there anything we can do for you?"
Lorist sighed: "Henneid, Chuck, you two idiots, I came here specially to remind you to send troops..."
Baron Shaheen's full name is Shaheen Henned, and he has no nickname. Knight Henned, who used to be one of the five golden knights under the Grand Duke of the Northland, led an army to conquer the Norton family under the orders of the Grand Duke, and was captured alive by Lorist, thus changing his fate.
Baron Shaheen was stunned, "Why are we sending troops?"
"Last time, the three of you complained that our family's armed forces wiped out the Northland, so that you have land but can't find people. Now that an opportunity is presented to you and you still turn a blind eye, what should I say about you? Our family this time Sending troops to arrest the second prince is only for the capital of Windbury. Who else in Winston Province can resist our soldiers? Why don’t you take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and stand on the shore to watch? Send troops Grab it! You idiots, if you want money or food, you can’t let them choose!” Lorist said bitterly.
"Uh..." Baron Felim already understood what Lorist meant, but he blushed a little: "Lock, it's not that we don't want to send troops, but..."
"Okay, I understand your concerns, aren't you just worried about the two border guards in Pedro City? I heard that you suffered a bit from sending troops to Winston Province the first two times?" Lorist laughed and stood beside him. Schwader beckoned: "Shward, go get a map of the Kingdom of Iberia."
"His name is Schwader, and he is my disciple like Reddy. His father is Bodfinger, and you also know him. Now he has awakened his fighting spirit and is by my side as a servant. He needs to take care of him in the future." Lorist introduced his new attendants to Baron Shaheen and Baron Felim.
"Definitely." The two barons said, and Henned took out a dagger inlaid with several gemstones and stuffed it to Schward, who had brought back the map, as a greeting gift.
Baron Felim didn't have anything suitable around him, so he decided to entrust his only precious illegitimate daughter to Schward. He praised his illegitimate daughter as rare in the world, how beautiful, sensible, well-behaved, and just the right age, she is fifteen years old this year, more than a year younger than Schwader. Although it is his illegitimate daughter, it is also registered in the genealogy of the Felim family.
Baron Felim is more and more satisfied with Schwader the more he looks at him. Different from Reddy's rough and silent, Schwader is very handsome and has a gentle temperament. Baron Felim has always treated his precious illegitimate daughter He said that he wanted to choose a good husband for her, and when he saw Shi Huade now, he found a good candidate. His father is a Golden Knight, and he is Lorist's disciple. His appearance is so outstanding, and his future is self-evident. It must be a good idea to marry his precious daughter to him.
Schwader was so stupid, he didn't expect to get an extra wife when he went to get a copy of the map. He was blushed by Baron Felim, and he didn't know how to respond. In the end, Lorist helped him out: "Okay, check Ke, there is no rush to find a son-in-law. At this moment, after this time the matter is over, you can talk to Bodfinger yourself. Anyway, Schward and your daughter are still young. If they like themselves, they can get engaged first, and so on. It's not too late for them to get married when they reach their twenties."
Baron Felim said: "It's not young, when my daughter was born, her mother was only sixteen years old..."
Henned and Lorist gave him their middle fingers together, which meant that he was too beastly, even a fifteen-year-old girl could do it, Baron Felim stopped talking...
Lorist unfolded the map of the Kingdom of Iberia, and clicked on the territory of the two provinces of the Grand Duke Fesabrun: "The Grand Duke Feisabrun was originally the second son of a viscount in Muyeyuan Province, and later joined the army. He was appointed as the head of the Border Guard Corps. The Border Guard Corps was originally a Ranger Corps set up by the Krissen Empire to defend the grasslands on the northeast prairie, with a staff of 25,000. , vigorously expanded, and defeated the barbarians in succession thirty-four years ago, opened up thousands of miles for the empire, and established the Eastern Wilderness Province, which was canonized as the Duke due to its meritorious service, and the Eastern Wilderness Province also became the seat of the Feisabrun family. Hereditary territory... "
"Because the frontier army controlled by the Grand Duke Fesabrun has expanded to a large army of 78,000 people, which is comparable to the White Lion Army of the former empire, the Grand Duke has always been deeply suspected by the center of the empire, and he can only do his best. Manage Donghuang Province and Muyeyuan Province to protect themselves. During the imperial civil war, the second prince went to Donghuang Province to meet the Grand Duke Feisabrun and married his daughter. Finally, he won the support of the Feisabrun family and established a foundations for the founding of the Kingdom of Iberia."
"After the Kingdom of Iberia was established, the second prince insisted on sending troops to attack the Principality of Meilein regardless of the exhaustion of the people's livelihood. In the end, he was pushed back by the Principality's army and the Storm Legion led by the Grand Duke Melain. Under such circumstances, the second prince went to the Grand Duke Fesabrun to borrow three ranger regiments, and took advantage of the Antinac Kingdom and our family's convoy to attack the Principality of Madras to the north, and looted them to support the horses. In the name of resisting the invasion of the Kingdom of Antinac, the Principality of Deras is trying to annex the province of Dremque in the Kingdom of Madras."
"Unexpectedly, the situation on the battlefield changed suddenly. While shaking hands with the Kingdom of Antinac, the Grand Duke of Madras fought against the second prince. He defeated the second prince's army in the battle under Kebo City. The second prince had no choice but to withdraw from Durham province, and took advantage of the opportunity when our Norton family defeated the Grand Duke of the Northland with armed forces, and occupied the Grand Duke of the Northland."
"After occupying the territory of the Grand Duke of the Northland, the second prince is considered to have a territory directly under his jurisdiction, so he ignored the southern province of the Kingdom of Iberia, that is, the three southern counties and Winston Province where the king's capital is located. Because the three southern counties It is already in ruins, and it will take a lot of money to resume production, and to guard against any invasion by the army of the Principality of Melain, it is not worth the loss for the second prince, so he gave up this province."
"As for the province of Winston where the capital is located, except for the capital of Windbury, the rest of the territory has long been sold out by the second prince, and it is simply unable to support the second prince to support a large army. Therefore, the territory of the Grand Duke of the Northland was occupied. Afterwards, the second prince stayed here and did not return to the royal capital. He used the food and grass plundered from the Northland and the property robbed from Dremke Province to reorganize his armaments, and formed the first army of the Iberian Kingdom, preparing to devote himself to the world's hegemony again. Go to the game."
"It's a pity that the second prince should never have messed with our Norton family. As a result, the great situation he had painstakingly managed was ruined by the First World War. He himself could only bring dozens of guards and escape back to the capital of Wendebu. In Licheng, it is really shameless to send a great sword master to assassinate me despicably."
"Let's take a look at the military arrangement of the Border Guard Corps commanded by Grand Duke Fesabrun. Although the second prince lent three ranger regiments, Grand Duke Fessabrun has already made up for the lack of troops. Now the Border Guard Corps has 70,000 troops. A fully formed army of 8,000 people. According to the information we have detected, the border guards have deployed 35,000 people in Muyeyuan Province, and 43,000 people in Donghuang Province."
"As the main battlefield to fight against grass barbarians, on the border of the Eastern Wilderness Province and the Northeast Prairie, Grand Duke Feisabrun deployed two ranger regiments, and later deployed a regiment at the East River Fortress. These three regiments are The main force to deal with the barbarians. There is also a regiment deployed at the junction of the Southern Province and the Eastern Wilderness Province. Once the army of the Principality of Meilein invades the three southern counties, this Ranger regiment will be dispatched immediately, trying to hold the enemy back and wait for follow-up reinforcements arrival."
"The second prince can give up the Southern Province and Winston Province, but the Duke of Feisabrun cannot give up. If these two provinces are occupied by the enemy, then the Donghuang Province and Muyeyuan Province will be attacked by the enemy. The Feisabrun family It is just around the corner. It is ridiculous that the second prince would rather give up these two provinces than entrust them to the Grand Duke of Feisabrun. It can be seen that the father-in-law and son-in-law do not trust each other, otherwise the second prince would be considered a Puppets can also make the Iberian Kingdom as stable as gold."
"The 35,000 troops deployed by Grand Duke Fesabrun in Muyeyuan Province are led by his adopted son, Viscount Christopher, who is also a great swordsman. , so only one ranger regiment was deployed at the border of Donghuang Province, which was also used as a reserve force to support the main battlefield. The remaining 25,000 troops were deployed in Pedro City, which broke into Winston Province , Once the warning beacon from Winston Province is received, the two border ranger regiments in Pedro Province will be dispatched urgently, and they will be able to reach any location in Winston Province within four or five days... "
"I heard that the two of you two attacked Winston Province twice and suffered a bit from the hands of these two border ranger regiments, didn't you?" Lorist finished his long speech and asked the person in front of the map with a smile. Two Barons.
Baron Felim blushed and nodded: "The first time our family dispatched a brigade to besiege a manor castle. Unexpectedly, the siege took four days. When it was about to be captured, it was suddenly attacked in the middle of the night. Two thousand five Only half of the hundred people ran back..."
Henned said unwillingly: "The second time Chuck and I sent troops together and took down two territories. Just as we were about to continue, we confronted these two border ranger regiments. Our two families have 15,000 troops. People and horses, about 20,000 people against two frontier ranger regiments, we are not afraid of him if it is a frontal confrontation, but these two frontier ranger regiments do not fight with us in the field, they always attack our campsites and block our logistics Relying on the mobile power of the light cavalry, they followed us and left with one blow. We had to retreat in groups. Later, seeing that the supplies could not be received, we had to abandon the looted property and luggage, and packed lightly and quickly. Withdrew back. Our two families lost nearly 3,000 troops that time... "
"Although our two families also caused two to three thousand damage to the Border Ranger Regiment, they were the ones who caused our two families to suffer failures twice, so we gave up our plan to attack Winston Province. No. We won't be able to come and go freely in Winston Province if we get rid of these two frontier ranger regiments in Pedro City," Baron Filim said angrily.
Lorist clapped his hands: "By the way, I came to discuss with you this time to decide how to pull out the thorn in your eyes. Our Norton family armed forces dispatched 24,000 troops to the capital of Windbury this time. To arrest the second prince, I believe that these two border rangers will definitely dispatch when they get the news. When our family's armed forces get entangled with them, your two will dispatch troops and horses to surround them from behind. As long as there is no surprise, they will surely eat them Big loss. With these two Frontier Ranger Regiments down, Winston Province is free to run wild with us, and you can have whatever you want...”
"Okay, I've done it, I'm going to deploy troops now," Henned said.
"Wait," Lorist said, "The most important thing to deal with the border rangers this time is mobility. You have also seen the 24,000 troops dispatched by our family. Except for the chariots, the rest are cavalry. This is the speed of action. We hope that we can reach the capital without leaking the news or before the enemy reacts, so that the second prince can be captured by us by surprise. The second is to avoid being entangled by the two border rangers when withdrawing troops.
However, after thinking about it for the past two days, I think it is better to simply destroy these two Ranger regiments. It can not only help you vent your anger, but also give Grand Duke Feisabrun a blow, lest he look too high and not treat us in the Northland. The four major families saw it. Two days ago, I received a letter from Kenmes, saying that the sale of snow salt in Donghuang Province and Muyeyuan Province is always making things difficult, so I think I have to teach the Grand Duke Fesabrun a lesson and let him see Look how good we are. "
"Well, I'll send out 8,000 cavalry, all of whom are the elite of the family, and they're all new standard equipment." Baron Felim made up his mind. He now has a total of 15,000 cavalry under his command, and these 8,000 cavalry are already his own. The family armed all the elite.
Henned thought for a while: "Then I'll pay 12,000. It's also a new standard equipment, but there are not so many cavalry..."
Henned has reorganized the original Northland Army to 24,000 people, but there is only one cavalry regiment.
"Okay, that's 20,000 horses. We've been waiting for two days. I have already ordered the family knights and a chariot battalion to come here. Adding in the more than 2,000 guards around me now, we have 20,000 horses. There are more than 8,000 troops. At that time, we will shut down the two border rangers. Even if he has strong mobility, there is no place for them to escape. By the way, you should send more scouts these days and pay close attention to Pedro The movement of the city. As long as the two border rangers are dispatched, we will follow and let them experience the feeling of being attacked." Lorist decided on the case.
