On November 11, 1778, the general calendar of Galintia, 100,000 grass barbarian cavalry attacked the city of Pedro. The bloody battle lasted all day and night. The first city wall on the front. However, under the desperate resistance of the 23rd Battalion of the 23rd Battalion of the 5th Corps of the Norton Family Guards and 10,000 fortification laborers, the city of Piedro was kept intact. Until dawn, the grass barbarian cavalry had no choice but to withdraw their troops and return to the camp due to numerous injuries and a drop in morale.
Both offensive and defensive sides suffered heavy casualties in this battle, but the persistence of the 23rd Guards Battalion laid a solid foundation for the four northern alliances to destroy the Iberian Kingdom and to bring Winston and Southern Provinces into their sphere of influence. Base. It also allowed the four northern alliances to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the prairie army god Feisabrun. From this moment on, the Norton family of the North has firmly suppressed the Feisabrun family, opening a new chapter for the opening of the Angry Bear Dynasty.
——Contained from the chapter of Galintia War History: The Rise of the Bear——Blood Battle in Pedro City
"...The 23rd Battalion of the Guards had 1,728 survivors after the battle, most of them were injured, half of their weapons and equipment were damaged, and the reserve force composed of 10,000 laborers had nearly 4,000 casualties... Grass There are more than 12,000 corpses left by the barbarian cavalry, and it is estimated that there are more than 20,000 casualties... At present, I have led the 22nd Battalion of the Guards and the 1st and 4th Battalion of the Guards to the city of Pedro. Viscount Diss summoned 6,000 noble private soldiers from Winston's traditional territory to come to reinforce, the list is as follows... "
This was a message sent by Baron Farea, and Lorist finally heaved a sigh of relief and let go of his heart. After defending the city of Pedro, most of the strategy for the Iberian Kingdom has been completed. As long as you can capture the Poperich Mountain and drive the Fisabrun family out of the southern province, you can call it a day. Next, it was the Duke of Kenmes' turn to use trade to suppress the Feisabrun family and force it to submit to the four Northland alliances. As for going to the northeast prairie to fight against the Grand Duke Feisabrun, I'm sorry, Lorist is not interested in this and that Xianxin has time to play with the old fox...
After a bloody battle all day and night, the 23rd Battalion of the Guards suffered nearly half of the casualties by defending the city of Pedro. Its leader, Edward Walker, was even more praised by Farea, who strongly commended his achievements. Lorist really didn't expect his illegitimate brother to have such abilities, and he was very happy. For the current Norton family, even if they are illegitimate children, they still have the blood of the Norton family. Their success is a great help to the family.
Now Farea has arrived in Pedro City and has taken over the city defense. With him, he no longer has to worry about the safety of Pedro City. However, this battle also reminded Lorist that it was his carelessness that made the strategy he formulated almost fall short. In a strategic location like Pedro City, a guard battalion of 3,000 people is already insufficient for defense, and at least three guard battalions are sufficient for defense.
There are also big cities like Windbury City, Van Naders City, and Kebo City. Only one guard battalion is arranged for defense, which is indeed insufficient. The 21st Battalion has become a security guard for maintaining law and order and guarding the city gates. If there is an enemy attack, it will be impossible to guard the walls on all sides... Maybe we have to reform the establishment of the Guards, 75,000 The 1,000-member guard regiment is indeed a bit larger, and it is scattered in three provinces, so it is not convenient to command...
Just as Lorist was thinking about how to change the composition of the Guards, Schwader walked into the big tent: "Your Highness, Baron Camorra of Windbury City sent a letter, saying that the queen of the Rose Palace is in the palace again. Making a lot of noise, claiming to go on a hunger strike to protest our rudeness and abuse to her, Lord Kamora hopes that you, Your Highness, can come up with a way to deal with the queen as soon as possible, and don't let her cause trouble and trouble for everyone in the royal city."
Well, Lorist has to admit that this queen is a weirdo. She doesn't care about the demise of the Iberian Kingdom, nor does she care about the queen's title. What she wants is the best parties, balls and banquets, and she only knows how to enjoy them. Even though the capital of Windbury was captured, she remained indifferent. Even her father, the Grand Duke Fesabrun, and the four Northland alliances fought in the southern province. They only asked that she be given this queen enough to be worthy of her status. The treatment is enough, and even bought the beauty to seduce Baron Camorra and Farea.
The problem is that although the queen is considered a beauty, she is already in her forties or fifties after all. Of course Baron Camorra and Farea are not interested in this old lady, and perhaps they are still concerned about their reputation. After being rejected by the nobles and officials in the Northland, the queen and her maid brought the soldiers standing guard in front of the palace into her bedroom. The soldiers who were released the next day all had big dark circles , with a pale face, his legs dangling as he stepped out of the gate of the palace... Baron Camorra was already so dizzy by the queen that he wished he could chop her off with a single sword.
Of course, Baron Camorra was just thinking about it in his heart. Killing a queen would cause an uproar in the aristocratic circle. No one would like to bear such a bad reputation, except for his lack of self-cultivation. She is not a threat, and it is justifiable for her to demand treatment in line with her status. Even as a prisoner, if you want to deal with her, you have to think about her father. No one wants to have a life-and-death enmity with a third-level great swordsman who is known as the powerful prince of the grassland army.
Lorist is also unwilling, even if he is now against the Grand Duke Fessabrun, he is not willing to vent his anger on a woman. The queen has no crimes other than being a famous slut. Although she is Ibi She is the queen of the Leah Kingdom, but this marriage is a political marriage, and the discord between her and the second prince is well known in the kingdom. But now that Baron Camorra has complained about this several times, it is time to come up with a solution after thinking about it.
"How about this, Schwader, you write a letter to Baron Camorra, asking him to find a few knights and hundreds of soldiers from the Fesabrun family among those armed captives of the Fesabrun family, and we will release them , re-arm them, and let them escort the queen back to the territory of the Feisabrun family. By the way, tell him not to touch the queen's personal property, and if she doesn't have enough luggage, we can give her a fee, That way we save ourselves trouble."
Lorist ordered, it's best to deal with it this way, send the gift out of the country, and everyone will be clean. As for the queen's return to the Fesabrun family, what troubles will arise is none of his business. Even if those nobles know about it, they will hold their thumbs up and praise their benevolence...
"Yes, Your Highness, I'll write a letter right now," said Schwader.
"By the way, Schwader, haven't there been any news from El and Reddy?" Lorist felt a little strange. A few days ago, he gave El and Reddy an order to find a way to get some Come alive from the armed forces of the Feisabrun family on Mount Bobiliqi, ask about the details of Mount Bobiliqi, and see how many troops the Grand Duke of Feisabrun has left to guard the mountain. As a result, Ai Er and Lei Di never returned after receiving the order, and no news came back for several days.
Schwader shook his head: "Your Highness, I really don't know. Eldest Elder Brother and Reddy Elder Brother took ten guards away that day and there was no news. They didn't bring the Letter Eagle there. In the past two days, I I ordered the scout cavalry to pay more attention to the traces of their marks when they went out to patrol, but these scout cavalry came back and said they found nothing... "
"Strange, where did they go?" Lorist rubbed his chin in thought.
"Your Highness, will something happen to them?" Schwader asked worriedly.
Lorist laughed: "It's impossible for something to happen. With Reddy's skill and El's ability, even if Grand Duke Feisabrunn personally takes action to deal with them, it is impossible to keep them all. At least one can run back." What's more, they brought ten guards with them, and several of them could escape if they ran separately. I think they must have encountered something that delayed their trip, and maybe they will come back in a few days."
At this moment, Lorist thought of Papa Morbinham's magnificent golden eagle. Unfortunately, Tagle was responsible for training a group of flying eagles that could scout the enemy's whereabouts on the battlefield. It would take a year to produce results, otherwise the Chaser Legion would not have suffered heavy losses in Muyeyuan Province this time. Early on, it was discovered that the old fox in Feisabrun had gathered grass barbarian cavalry in an ambush, and the Chaser Legion would not step back into the trap...
Considering that the letter eagles currently used by the family have been trained for five or six years to achieve initial results, it is understandable that it takes such a long time to train a batch of flying eagles that can distinguish and detect enemies on the battlefield. of. I have already made a promise to Father Mobbingham, as long as we can train such a group of flying eagles, the title of baron of a territory cannot be escaped. I'm sure Papa Mobbingham will do his best. Do not doubt the employing person, do not use the suspecting person, since I entrust this matter to them, I believe they can handle it well.
But if there is still no news of El and Reddy after a while, maybe I have to trouble Papa Morbingham to borrow his golden eagle to find the whereabouts of the two of them.
"Your Highness, we have defended the city of Pedro, but didn't you say that the mountain barbarians would attack the family territory in the North?" Schwader was writing a letter here, and he remembered this incident again.
"Don't worry, it's all right." Lorist laughed, "The mountain barbarians never go down the mountain to raid and plunder when winter comes. Now the mountain barbarians in the Demon Dragon Mountain are busy stockpiling supplies for the winter. It’s a life-and-death juncture. They don’t have enough cold-proof clothing and training like our family’s armed forces. Even if the weather is cold, we can still use our skis to move freely in the wind and snow. If the mountain barbarians really want to attack our family territory If so, it should be next spring. And by then we have already returned to the family territory to take precautions, so that these mountain barbarians who came to attack will have a good memory."
"En." Schwader nodded and continued writing.
After more than ten days, there was still no news of El and Reddy. Just as Lorist was about to send a letter to Tagle asking him to borrow Papa Mobenham's golden eagle to look for it, he received a notification from Farea. Letter, the barbarian army under the city of Pedro finally withdrew.
Since Farea took over the city defense of Piedro City, the grass barbarian cavalry launched several attacks on Piedro City in the past ten days, but each time it was in vain and wasted men and horses in vain. Moreover, every attack was not as fierce as a bloody battle all day and night, and even in the last few times, it was anticlimactic. The first wave of attack was frustrated and some people died, and then it was almost a game. Just shouting and not charging, hiding in the range of the steel crossbow Waiting until the horn sounded to retreat, he retreated with relief.
Farea mentioned a situation in his letter, that is, the night before the withdrawal, the barbarian cavalry's camp suddenly became chaotic, with flames bursting into the sky, people screaming, and there were fierce fighting and shouting, it seemed that a big battle had taken place . Judging from the situation, it looks like the camp has really been attacked. Farea thought that the four northern alliances had no more troops to attack the barbarian army's camp. He was worried that this would be a trick of the barbarians, so he stood still. It was only in the morning that he realized that it was a real attack. Today, the Caoman camp has been burned down, and there are at least 30,000 to 40,000 Caoman corpses everywhere, and the remaining Caoman cavalry has disappeared without a trace.
Although Lorist was very curious about what happened to the Caoman camp, he also knew that it was impossible for his army to attack the camp. The good news is that the siege of Pedro City forced the grass barbarian army to withdraw. This is a remarkable victory.
Accompanied by the news of victory came the convoy sent by Baron Camorra from Windbury. They escorted the queen, her numerous maids and a hundred carts to the camp. Baron Camorra did not come, but he wrote a letter to Lorist, in which he said that in order for the queen to return to the Fisabrun family territory, he had to agree to several outrageous requests from the queen, such as letting the queen take away All the furniture in her dormitory, which is why the team is so huge, there is not even a toilet left in the dormitory...
There are also more than 300 maids of the queen. Baron Camorra feels it is a pity. Anyway, these maids are just like the queen. He originally planned to use these maids to form a prostitute camp to serve the family's armed forces after sending the queen away. But then I thought that these maids were originally from nobles who lost power or perished, and I was afraid that they would cause chaos to the family, so I promised the queen to take them away.
In addition, Lord Camorra also reported that in order for the queen to leave, he had to give the queen one hundred thousand goldfords as her annuity for the past few years, and then let the queen get on the carriage and set off. At the same time, because the queen carried a lot of vehicles and belongings, the ten Feisabrun family knights and one hundred soldiers who were released might not be able to guarantee the safety of the convoy. He had to send the second battalion of the guard to escort them all the way, and now they are sent to Loris The big camp where Te is located is considered to have completed the task...
Lorist had no choice but to be busy entertaining the arrival of the queen first, since he was a nobleman after all, a reception banquet was unavoidable. Although they are enemies with the Fisabrun family, the Kingdom of Iberia was also destroyed by Lorist himself, and even the former king was captured by Lorist himself and given to the Second Highness, but the nobles all pay attention to demeanor, even if the queen can Even if he is a prisoner of the Norton family, he must be treated well.
At the welcome banquet, the queen didn't treat Lorist as a life and death enemy. On the contrary, she was very grateful to Lorist for taking the second prince away, allowing her to live a comfortable life for several years. This allowed Lorist to finally see how strange and heartless the Queen is. However, Lorist still got into trouble. The queen didn't care about the demise of the Iberian Kingdom. On the contrary, she was very concerned that she would lose her annuity income in the future, so she begged Lorist for compensation.
Lorist reminded her tactfully, didn't Baron Camorra provide a sum of one hundred thousand goldfords? The queen said that was not enough. She received an annuity of 20,000 Jinford a year, and Baron Camorra gave 100,000, which means five years. If you can live for 20 or 30 years, how will you live in the next five years! The queen burst into tears...
That Khan Lorist! This time, she had seen the best, so she had no choice but to express her willingness to do her best, and give her another 100,000 gold blessings, which made the queen stop her mourning. But maybe it was because Lorist was too easy to talk to, the Queen accepted 100,000 Gold Dollars and needed 200,000 in gold dollar coupons before she was willing to leave. Lorist got angry and refused to give it.
Soon Lorist regretted it. Baron Camorra wanted to organize the queen's maidservants into a prostitute camp to serve the family's armed forces. Unexpectedly, the queen recruited prostitutes directly in the camp. A maid will get one Jinford a night, and if there are ten maids, the queen will accompany her personally. Although the queen is a bit older, she is not bad in appearance, and she also bears the title of queen. For ordinary soldiers, spending ten gold dollars to be a queen once is a bull that can brag about for a lifetime. To be queen once. As a result, the queen's business is booming, and she can handle it well...
Lorist's face turned pale. This is the front line. During the war, everyone's legs were as soft as noodles, which is unreasonable. I wanted to clean up the military discipline, but found that these soldiers and knights who went to the queen did not violate the family's military regulations. They went to visit the queen when they were not on duty, and they didn't leave the camp. This is not easy to punish...
As for the queen, Lorist didn't dare to go there. He might have been stalked by a few naked maids in the past. The last time Bodfinger went to arrest those soldiers, he almost made a fool of himself in public...
They have been treating the queen with respect for so long, so they can't turn their faces now. Although it sounds strange that the queen sold out in the barracks, it didn't hinder anything after all. On the contrary, it also pleased the soldiers, which sounds like a good thing...
In the end, Lorist thought he was unlucky, and sent another two hundred thousand goldfords to send the queen away. An armed brigade of the Feisabrunn family sent to greet them on Mount Bobby Ridge has been waiting in front of the camp for nearly ten days.
Before leaving, the queen was still reluctant to part with her, and begged that if they were allowed to stay in the camp until next spring before setting off, then she would rather not have the two hundred thousand gold blessings. Lorist thought to himself that you should leave early, if you stay in the camp until next spring, all the salaries of our family's armed soldiers will go into your pocket...
Well, the Queen is more powerful than the Grand Duke Fessabrun, at least the Grand Duke Fessabrun didn't extort 300,000 Goldford from me... That's what Lorist thought in his heart as he watched the motorcade going away.
