They originally thought that staying in Eruin would undoubtedly have a boring or even boring life. This is not an empire, there is no opportunity to make contributions, there are no Hazels, wind elves, Faenza knights or even barbarians. Such enemies, they stay here, their role is only to perform their duties. They are soldiers, so naturally they have to obey orders, but at the same time they are young, passionate knights. Who doesn't want to conquer all quarters on the battlefield and build meritorious services? But suddenly, such an opportunity appeared in front of them. Although it was not fighting for the empire, at least it was not an enemy of the empire. The nobles of Eruin were also nobles recognized by various countries. The key is if the eldest son of the emperor also recognized If so, then they are actually fighting for the Cruz royal family.
Almost everyone was moved.
Little Pello even asked about Veronica and the eldest son at the instigation of Brund and others, and the answer was: Prince Lenaret stayed in Eruin secretly as the most distinguished guest. Yes, offensive and defensive with Earl Tonigel, we share honor and disgrace, so Tonigel’s war is the war of His Highness Lenaret, so if Earl Tonigel allows, the Knights of Folding Swords can be allowed to be in the middle of Eruin. At the same time, he obeyed his orders, but the first task is to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the eldest son.
This answer reveals too much information. However, little Pello didn't have the mind to analyze how many conspiracies and exchanges of interests were in it, because he was also moved. They were born for war. Who wouldn't want to fight to kill the enemy? In addition to fighting against their homeland, they can fight against all enemies. War is their glory, scar is their medal, and they have a name called Imperial Knights.
Three days ago, Brando still brought all the members of the Knights of Folding Swords in the name of the observation group, and even Prince Lenaret was in the so-called observation group, but little Pello understood that their opportunity was coming. Now, seeing that he is getting closer to the battlefield day by day, at this moment he finally couldn't help but stop the Lord Earl.
Brando glanced at him, smiled in his heart, thinking that these guys couldn't help it. When he asked Veronica to agree to let the Knights of Broken Swords stay in the territory of Eruin, while loyal to the eldest son of the emperor, he also obeyed him at the same time, but he played a trick instead of letting Veronica directly. Tell these young people the inside story. The reason is very simple. He knew that as long as he gave these young people a little hint, they would definitely not be able to bear it. He knew too much about these young war madmen from Cruz-one third of the entire empire will gather here in the future. These people were born for war, and it is impossible to endure loneliness. These young knights received the most rigorous training. They experienced the most rigorous knight exams and actual combat tests. They could not have come to Eruin for a holiday. If there is no chance, they might do their duty and be content to be lonely, but Once there is a little possibility, they will definitely seize this opportunity.
Therefore, instead of giving them orders, it is better to actively stimulate their enthusiasm. He also wants to see how powerful these empires will be in the future.
But even though he had such a plan in his mind, he still asked indifferently: "What's the matter?"
…
The undulating hills of the Slovak region extend from the Silman area at the end of the Pine Mountains, and the eastern foot of the Chablis Mountains meet here, delineating the most rugged and difficult part of the northernmost section of the Golan-Elsen Pass. A section of terrain, here is the easternmost end of the Tosangkade Forest. Historically, Eco and his fiancée Yula led the coalition of Lantonilan and Vieiro to ambush the army that defeated the blood cane. Today, it seems that History repeats itself, and the undead army has once again entered this area.
The sky is gloomy, and the entire mountain and wild seems to exude coldness, but to the undead, it doesn’t matter whether it is cold or hot. The bone racks move along the river valley and make a clicking sound. The woodland seems to be full of gray skulls. , There are some skeleton knights in the distance. Unlike human knights, they rarely play any banners. The dark spears are their banners.
The development of the war is a bit weird.
Especially for the blood rods, since the White Wing Cavalry regiment was wiped out in the Sillman Valley, the Eruin on the opposite side fell into a complete passivity, and the Van Meer regiment was forced to change defenses on a large scale, which resulted in the entire regiment. Morale and exhaustion on all fronts have brought serious consequences. In the battle a few days ago, the army of the undead almost defeated every enemy in front of it, and the Van Mir Army was completely defeated, even It was even worse than the defeat in the first Black Rose War. It was as if suddenly, the blood rod found that there were no enemies in front of him. The Eruin’s nearest army is still far away in Lantoniland. Even if they start to leave now, it will take at least a week before they can reach Kurk. Kurk has long been in ruins. And the army of Carazu and Vieiro is something that hasn't been seen yet. After it captured Kurk and joined forces with the human being Jean Denel, Lantonilan's army was not worth mentioning.
This is something that the Supreme One did not do in the war a year ago, but now it has to be done easily for him.
The blood rod was full of pride and pride. In his opinion, Golan-Elson’s Eruin army is simply not worth mentioning. He has swept Karasu once, and those highland knights are truly opponents. In contrast, Golan-Ehren Elson’s Eruin were weak and stupid, and it would be a shame to suffer from such an enemy. It seems that Targus, the one-eyed dragon, is nothing more than that. He heard that the army that invaded Buche had a little trouble. The supreme being holding a mercury rod in Madara was taking shelter from those self-righteous vampires. On the throne, now it seems that her gaze is nothing more than that.
In the heart of the blood rod, it seems that even the awe of the supreme one is less than three points.
With pale phosphorous fire burning in its eye sockets, its indifferent eyes swept across the undulating hills, where it was the undead army that was rapidly expanding. If it were stronger, then even in Madara, the supreme One would no longer be there. Dare to do it easily. But the only thing that annoys it a little is that the dark mercenaries from the Sea of Dead Moon, their greed is a little beyond his expectations. Originally, those beggars only wanted some magic-rich land, but after witnessing the weakness of mankind , Now he started to attack those big cities from his hands.
But how could it give it up? Those are countless bones and souls.
However, the blood rod is not clear. When it is calculating the gains and losses in its mind, the dark mercenaries in the army who have been fighting for a long time, almost treating the battle as a natural activity of eating and sleeping, are beginning to feel a little unusual at this moment. Generally speaking, when scouts on the periphery of the army are restricted, it may take a while for an inexperienced commander to feel that his detection capabilities are restricted. But for a veteran, as long as they lose a team of scouts, the vigilance accumulated from countless life and death experiences will make them feel as uncomfortable as if their necks are strangled.
At this moment, those dark lords who came from the Sea of Dead Moon had such a feeling.
In an hour, they have lost more than five teams of scouts.
The entire north of the army seemed to be suddenly shrouded in mist. These dark lords felt the danger instinctively, and on the one hand they conveyed the situation they realized to the blood rod, on the other hand they sent more skeleton cavalry in that direction. The blood rod is also an old opponent of the Eruin, but the conclusion he came to is very simple—the Eruin is ready to make a desperate move. They want to put all their strength here to stop the undead army, otherwise they will miss this barrier, Kurk The fort will be safe to defend.
This conclusion was approved by the Dark Lords.
After all, unlike the blood rod, these dark nobles from the Sea of Dead Moon knew nothing about Eruin. Except for the Vanmir Legion in front of them, their only knowledge of this kingdom was that they were far away in Amperthel. White Lion Corps. It can be said that their military deployment for Eruin in the South at this moment is all derived from the blood rod. The blood rod told them that there is no more human army in Golan-Elson, and they believed it to be true. They did not even think about it. The existence of other ambushes.
In fact, the judgment of the blood rod is not incorrect. According to Madara’s intelligence, Eluin’s southern border is now a piece of loose sand, and Princess Griffin has unified the forces from Ampersel, Anlek, and Tonigel. , But for Lantonilan, Vieiro, Goran-Elsen, and Carazu are only nominal appeals, and the lords of these areas have their own contradictions, and each other before they are truly threatened. The possibility of reaching a coalition is very slim. But the blood rod never dreamed that there is a knight madman named Eko in the southern part of Eruin. His favorite thing in his life is to be nosy. In history, this corpse lord has rashly ruined his life. , And at this moment, he is still obsessed with it, repeating the same mistakes.
What's more, this time, not only is the knight madman Eko intending to teach it a lesson that will never be remembered, but as far away as Tonigel, there is also a sinister and cunning existence who has been calculating it a few months ago.
…
Eco was frowning and staring at the map in front of him intently. He was now the representative of Lantoni’s side and the commander of the noble army of Duke Cannon. Of course, he has always had no command skills. In fact, the entire battle plan was completed with repeated revisions by the Cavaliers and generals under Buga, Macaro, Odin, Yula, and the Duke of Vieiro. Of course, this The highland knights are also added. The highland knights finally sent a small group of knights composed of silver strength, with a number of about 400 people. Although the number is not large, the average level of strength of the silver high is still tolerable. I couldn't help but look sideways, let alone a wizard group with the same level of strength as one-third of its members.
Almost everyone can't help being a little surprised by such a luxurious configuration. It has to be said that the Highland Knights have always maintained a transcendent position in the territory of Eruin, relying on their transcendence above the kingdom.
But after Her Royal Highness informed Brando of the incident, Brando was a little amused. He knew well that the Highland Knights didn't have many such knights, there were only three of them, and they belonged to their elite troops-this time they should have sent the Holy Stone Knights. However, it is a little strange for them to make this statement. It seems that it is not necessary to say that it is a demonstration. The current status of the Highland Knights is not a day's work, and their current behavior, no matter how you look at it, makes people feel a bit too enthusiastic.
But in fact, since the Battle of Amperthel, the behavior of these knights was a bit too weird. In fact, they could not go to the muddy water at all, and it did not do them any good. If it was just because of his grandfather's identity, they would join the war inexplicably, Brando felt that this would be too unreasonable.
However, he couldn't guess what the Highland Knight was thinking for a while, so he didn't mention any relevant content in the letter.
What he cares about is another matter-the entire battle plan is actually made by him. He finally used the princess to persuade everyone to take the blood rod as the first goal. It has to be said that the Eruins of this era seem to have a certain deep-rooted prejudice against Madara, believing that the kingdom in the dark is only good at Playing a small fight on the border, even after experiencing a Black Rose War, most people think the same way. In fact, in the war a year ago, the undead did not seem to have penetrated the territory of Eruin, and the war ended only in the border area. At the beginning, only the Van Meir Legion, the Southern Legion and the Highland actually fought against Madara. There are only a few armies of knights, so in the eyes of most people, even those who have fought with them, Madara belongs to the kind of image that can be compared with robbers and bandits.
Whether it is the royal party or the Grand Duke of Vieiro, most people’s eyes are on Jean de Nell. In their opinion, what they have to do is to defeat the Earl of Jean de Nell first. After the blood rod lost its internal response, it would naturally retreat. Even the Highland Knights have the same opinion. They fought with Madara the most and had the deepest prejudices. The blood rod once swept Karasu, but it was actually an exaggerated statement. Half of it was blocked by highland knights west of Silver Horse City, and then went south to Jincheng for a round, and then returned to Madara. They knew the best of the ability of those bones.
On the contrary, it was Eruin’s confidant that Earl Dernell was a confidant. Once Earl Dernell was defeated, the chaos in the Southern Territory was basically settled in half. For Grand Duke Vieiro, there is even more private enmity with Jean Denel.
The only one who supports Brando is Eco, but the Cavaliers simply don't want to fight a civil war. In his opinion, he should teach the invaders first.
But in the end, Brando convinced everyone with the excuse that Count Denell might flee to Madara even if he was defeated.
Although in fact letting Count Denell escape without fleeing has no effect on Eluin, this reason has convinced the Grand Duke Vieiro, this Duke is definitely the least happy to see Count Denell escape to heaven. One of the people, the hatred between the Vieiro family and the Jean de Nell family has been forged a few generations ago, and it can be said that it is an endless hatred. And since Grand Duke Vieiro turned to support Brando's plan, there was Lantonilan's representative Eco, and the Highland Knights no longer objected. Finally Brando's plan was unanimously passed-priority ambush the blood rod.
This battle plan basically copied the example of the battle where Eco and Yula led the coalition to ambush the blood rod. The location of the ambush was still in Slovak, the most advantageous terrain. And it can be said that they have more advantages than in history, because in history, Eco could not find a way to enter the Silman area, and could only sneak in from the north of Tosun Ghat Forest, which wasted a lot of time. But this time Brando persuaded Kewen and his party to open the door for them. Now Silman's hills are almost under their control, and they can unconsciously put a large army on the blood stick at any time. Under the eyelids.
But at this time, Eco was in trouble.
According to the original plan, the coalition forces of Vieiro and Lantonilan would wait until Tonigel’s army arrived before attacking the blood rod, but now there are still several hours before the attack, the knights of Grand Duke Vieiro I can't help it anymore. Eco himself hasn’t figured out what’s going on, but Macaro and his team realized the problem. Grand Duke Vieiro’s men apparently used the blood rod as the fish on the cutting board. They thought that Count Tonigel The purpose of the proposed battle plan is simply to give them credit. The reason is simple. The army of Lantonilan and the army of Grand Duke Vieiro has almost twice the strength of the blood rod. As we all know, the fact that the army of the undead is actually The individual combat capability is inferior to the human army.
That is to say, when the military strength reaches twice the gap, and there is still mental arithmetic, it is impossible to lose, so there is no need to wait for Tonigel's army to arrive.
Therefore, as soon as the army of blood rods entered their field of vision, these local lord knight lords began to move around.
When Macaro and others told Eco about this situation, the knight fanatic suddenly became two big ones. He never dreamed that such a situation would happen. In fact, it was not just him, even Brando himself. Brando only remembers the ambush in history, but forgets the Eruin nobles of this era. It is not the army that Princess Griffin established with Freya after Princess Griffith rejuvenated the kingdom more than ten years later. The key point is that the Lantonilan coalition forces in history were actually dominated by Eco, but this time, due to his intervention with the princess, Grand Duke Vieiro sent far more troops than in history, so now On the frontal battlefield, what Eco said is not counted, which is very doubtful.
You should know that this is not an army in the normal sense. It is a coalition of nobles. Usually, when the dukes are at war, there are often things that the following vassals act privately, not to mention that it is still a coalition led by two dukes. In fact, the news When it was passed to Eco, the knight lords under Grand Duke Vieiro had already begun to take action.
