His Royal Highness has gone back. He wants to send Queen Sissy back to the imperial capital first, and then bring the White Lions back to the southern province. It is estimated that it will take more than two months to come and go, so he sent the four duchies who attacked the central The date was scheduled for mid-August, and it's only May.
The Southern Province has become a large barracks. The Flying Tiger Legion of the Norton Family and the Pegasus Legion of the Felim Family are the first to be in place. The camp of the Frontier Rangers was caught in the middle. The Panshi Legion is still deployed on the border between the Southern Province and the Eastern Wilderness Province, and is still on guard and defense tasks as usual.
This time to attack the four central duchies, Lorist is going to dispatch the Flying Tiger Legion, two Guards and two Chasseurs. The main force of the attack is the Flying Tigers. The battle power training, forming combat power as soon as possible, and another is to form an oppressive advantage over the two legions of the Fesabrun family in terms of military strength, so as to prevent them from doing anything wrong. Even though he is now in the same camp as the Feisabrun family, Lorist still dare not relax his vigilance.
The Grand Duke of Fesabrunn has kept his self-consciousness during this period. Even if he saw that the released soldiers of the Third Frontier Ranger Legion were equipped with tattered leather armor and those shattered weapons, he could only take a deep breath. After a few breaths, he held back and did not protest to Fatty Shi who was handing over, and then moved into the barracks to eat and live with the soldiers of the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment. On the contrary, the Great Swordsman Sandy found Princess Sylvia with an angry face and said a lot of bad things about Lorist, forcing Princess Sylvia to ask Lorist for thousands of better weapons as compensation. .
The Duke of Kenmes still dispatched two heavy armored regiments this time, but they will join the White Lion Army led by the Second Highness before heading to the southern province, while Earl Shaheen's family armed forces are dispatched as a whole, 48,000 people The Shaheen Army has set off and will reach the southern province in about ten days. This time, Earl Shaheen is gearing up to make a fortune in the four central duchies. As for the two legions that the Feisabrun family is going to dispatch, in addition to the freed Third Frontier Ranger Legion, it is said that another legion has already set off. However, because there are too many things to carry, the itinerary is a bit slow, and it is estimated that I will arrive in the southern province at the end of June.
In addition to the four alliances of the Northland and the Fisabrun family's armed forces, most of the territorial nobles in Dremke Province and Winston Province also brought three to five hundred private armed forces to join the Southern Province, and the farthest ones came from The imperial capital was surrounded by territorial nobles in several provinces, but they brought fewer people, at least a dozen attendants, and at most a hundred farmers and soldiers. They dragged their carts all the way, and there were nearly ten thousand troops after gathering. It's just that Lorist felt that they didn't seem to be here to fight, but more like going to the four principalities in the middle to rob.
To Lorist's surprise, his lover, Miss Aridori from Baron Dina's family also brought more than a hundred peasants and soldiers, and even had conflicts with them right after entering the camp. As a rare female knight, it is inevitable to be molested when entering a camp full of old soldiers, but the eldest lady of the Dina family is too fierce, so she directly used force, resulting in one death and three injuries. Then the whole camp erupted, and Lorist sent Tiger Ross to suppress it, only to find out that it was the young lady who caused the trouble.
It was a headache, so Lorist had no choice but to send Fatty Shi to pay compensation to those casualties before suppressing the incident. However, Miss Dina still refused to give up and asked Lorist to send troops to retaliate because she brought Of the 123 peasants and soldiers, seven were injured or injured in the riot. Lorist had no choice but to arrange her people in the guard regiment's garrison, then closed the door of the study and severely punished her with family law before she could calm down.
The hustle and bustle of chores continued until June 20th, when the second legion of the Feisabrun family also arrived. As soon as Lorist heard the report from the Rock Legion stationed at the border, he knew that the Second Highness and himself had been fooled. The legion that came this time was not the border ranger legion that I thought it was, but the reserve legion reorganized by the Feisabrun family. With a horse and a large number of leather weapons, the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment was re-equipped with horses and equipment, and reproduced the demeanor of light cavalry.
old fox! Lorist slandered in his stomach, he looked at Grand Duke Fessabrun, who happened to be looking at him, and smiled at him. Unhappily, Lorist turned around and ordered the tiger Ross to increase his combat alert level by one and be on strict alert. Originally, I thought that the Fisabrun family would send out two border ranger legions. Lorist was still considering digging a hole for Grand Duke Fesabrun when he attacked the four central duchies, so that he could spend more troops and let Fisabrun The Brunn family's armaments have hurt their muscles and bones, so there is no need to think about it now.
Even if the reserve legion is finished, it won't hurt the Feisabrun family at all. Anyway, there are a lot of wild cavalry on the grassland, and they can be recruited again as long as they have money. The Grand Duke of Fesabrun clearly wanted to preserve the Third Frontier Ranger Army and let the Reserve Army go to the front line to charge into battle. The tattered equipment I gave instead gave Archduke Feisabrun an excuse not to let the Third Frontier Ranger Regiment go to the battlefield. It was really a miscalculation.
On June 27th, Lorist received a report from Tagle that the four Central Principalities had long been aware of the movements of the Northland Allied Forces and the Antinac Kingdom, and had even grasped the approximate date of the August offensive. At present, the Principality of Handela, the Principality of Faker and the Principality of Forendo have expanded their armies and prepared for war. Each has formed a legion of 45,000 people, and is preparing to form a second legion again. Moreover, the legions formed by these three principalities are heading towards the Principality of Sabaji, and are expected to arrive in Limad Province around July 30th. They will be organized into a defensive front based on the geographical environment, and will block the attack of the Antinak Kingdom. Limad Province formed a tug-of-war, using attrition and long-term confrontation to resist the attack of the Kingdom of Antinac.
Let's look at the intelligence of the Sabaji Kingdom. Since the demise of the Principality of Melain, the Grand Duke Sabaji transferred the capital of the Principality to Meishan Castle in Meishan Province, and after the failure of the reinforcements of the Feisabrun family in the past few years, in order to prevent North Korea from The four local alliances took advantage of the victory to pursue and formed two legions. The Second Army of the Principality in Limad Province had 35,000 people, and the First Army of the Principality in Meishan Castle had 45,000 people. There is also a regiment of 12,000 people in the Bailu Lake Swamp to prevent the Second Highness from leading the army to attack from there.
Even though the Principality of Sabaji has a population of more than 800,000, the standing strength of nearly 100,000 troops is too much to bear. Therefore, the Second Army of the Principality and the regiment deployed in the Bailu Lake Swamp mainly rely on the support and sponsorship of the other three principalities. After receiving the news that the Kingdom of Antinac was about to launch an attack, Grand Duke Sabaji asked for help from the other three principalities, and at the same time called on the people of the principalities to defend the principality and their homeland, and organized the young and strong to build various garrison forces.
Meishan Province was the hereditary territory of the former Grand Duke Melain's family for more than a hundred years. After the four principalities in the middle were destroyed, except for a seven-year-old boy and a four-year-old girl who remained in the imperial capital, the rest of the Melain family died. Although Grand Duke Sabaji moved the capital of the principality here, he did not fully grasp the popular sentiments of Meishan Province, so that the whole preparations for the war were procrastinated and the process was extremely slow. Now Grand Duke Sabaji can rely on the First Army of the Principality, which is the old foundation of the Sabaji family's armed forces. Grand Duke Sabaji is going to go to Limad Province together when the reinforcements from the other three principalities arrive.
Lorist looked at the map of the four principalities in the middle of the country and pondered for a long time, and immediately sent someone to find Grand Duke Fesabrun, Earl Felim and Earl Shaheen to call an emergency military meeting. At the meeting, Lorist repeated the news he had received from the four principalities in the central region, pointing to the map and said: "Currently, the reinforcements from the Principality of Handra, the Principality of Forendo, and the Principality of Fakel have not reached the territory of the Principality of Sabaji. Although the White Lion Army led by His Majesty the King has not yet arrived in the southern province, the situation is urgent now. I don't want to wait for all the legions from the four central principalities to arrive in Limad Province to fight with us, so I want to preemptively send troops to Saba Duchy of Ji, what do you think of stopping all the reinforcements from the three duchies outside of the Duchy of Sabaji?"
The Principality of Sabaji has three provinces in total. Limad Province and Meishan Province are both the territories of the former Principality of Melein, and the other province is Chikses Province, which is the hereditary territory of the Sabaji family. Originally, Zamora Province, the neighboring province of Chikses Province, was also the territory of the Principality of Sabaji. However, when His Royal Highness was trapped in King Federica, the former Grand Duke Melein sent troops to Zamora Province and the four central principalities to rescue him. The army of the army fought, and the province of Zamora was reduced to ruins. After the Principality of Melain was destroyed, the Principality of Sabaji monopolized the two provinces of Limad and Meishan, and replaced the original territory of Samora Province with the Principality of Faker.
So now the terrain of the Sabaji Principality is in the shape of a long strip, with three provinces strung together. If Lorist and the others can drive straight to Chikses Province, they will be able to take the initiative in the entire campaign, attacking the Principality of Forendo to the south, and the Principality of Faker to the west. And the four principalities in the middle will appear very passive. The Principality of Sabaji could only hide and defend, while the reinforcements from the other three principalities could not come to the rescue. They had to protect the borders of their principalities first.
The other three people present were all experienced in the battlefield, and they knew in their hearts that Lorist's decision was the best choice at the moment. It doesn't matter to Earl Felim and Earl Shaheen. The family armies of the four northern alliances will definitely take care of each other when they go into battle together. So they all turned to stare at Grand Duke Feisabrun to see what choice he would make. If the Grand Duke Fesabrun insists on waiting for His Royal Highness and the White Lions to arrive in the southern province before launching an attack, well, let’s just ignore Lorist’s words and wait for the reinforcements from the four central duchies to arrive in Limad province before making an attack. Let them engage in a long tug and confrontation.
Grand Duke Feisabrun looked at the map in silence, and after a long time raised his head and asked Lorist: "How do you want to attack?"
"It's very simple." Lorist pointed to the Qikseth Province of the Principality of Sabaji on the map: "Your Feisabrun family's reserve army and the third frontier ranger army, as well as Earl Felim's Pegasus The regiments are all light cavalry regiments, and they drive straight in, avoiding the castle fortress and reaching the province of Chikses. Blocking the border roads between it and the Duchy of Forendo and the Duchy of Faker, you can also carry out small-scale invasions of these two duchies, The three legions that forced them to come to reinforce the Principality of Sabaji stationed on the border.
Earl Shaheen's family armed army, together with the private armed forces of the territorial nobles who came to join the war, sent troops to Meishan Province and trapped Meishan Castle. All you need to do is trap the First Army of the Principality of Sabaji in the castle. I believe that our sudden dispatch of troops this time will surprise Grand Duke Sabaji. They got the news that we will launch an attack in mid-August, and now it is a month ahead of schedule, which happened to catch him off guard. Under such circumstances, Grand Duke Sabaji will only sit and guard Meishan Castle, and will not come out to fight with us.
As for the Flying Tiger Legion armed by our Norton family, we will first eliminate the Second Army of the Sabaji Principality deployed in Lima Province, and then go to Meishan Province to join the Shaheen Legion and decide whether to attack Meishan Castle according to the situation. During this period, I request that your three light cavalry regiments in Chikses Province must involve the reinforcement regiments of the other three duchies, and they must not be allowed to come to rescue Meishan Castle. "
Earl Felim and Earl Shaheen nodded, expressing their obedience to the arrangement. The Grand Duke Fesabrun stared at Lorist, and said after a while: "I have two requirements. The first is that you must not design to frame the two legions armed by our family, and the second is that you must guarantee the integrity of our family's legions." The supply of logistics, armaments and supplies is as fair and just as their family's armed forces. You must swear these two points in the name of the God of War and your Norton ancestors. Only in this way will we trust you and obey your command... "
That waterfall of Lorist was so sweaty, his face was flushed, and he felt that he had been cautiously guarding against the Feisabrun family. It turned out that the Feisabrun family also treated themselves as thieves, and they were wary of themselves. This is really the tip of the needle, no one should say anything.
"Okay, I can swear." Lorist refused to suffer, "Then you also have to swear that you are sincere in submitting to the Kingdom of Antinac and attacking the four principalities in the middle, and you will not be offended just because they were allies of your family. Show mercy or turn back before the battle. Only after I swear in public, I promise to treat your family as fairly as armed, and I will not guard against or suspect you."
"Then after I swear, can you withdraw the Rock Legion deployed at the border of our family's territory?" Grand Duke Feisabrun asked back.
"No, this and that are completely different things. The Rock Legion is just a local garrison army, and they didn't participate in the attack on the four central duchies. You swear it's none of their business..." Lorist objected to implicating the Rock Legion.
Grand Duke Feisabrun and Lorist quarreled for a long time, blowing their beards and staring at each other. In the end, the two compromised with each other and swore in public that they would cooperate sincerely in the battle to conquer the four central duchies, not to plot against each other, to avoid disputes, and so on. Lorist was satisfied that he didn't involve the Rock Legion. And the Grand Duke Fesabrunn finally felt relieved, he didn't have to worry about being tricked by Lorist secretly...
"There is another question, how do you count the spoils?" Grand Duke Feisabrun asked.
Lorist thought for a while and replied: "Whoever gets it counts. In order to avoid conflicts, we can divide the area for plundering in advance, and everyone must not cross the border."
"Okay, let's swear by high-fiving." Grand Duke Feisabrun stretched out his hand and said.
