Northern Army Camp.
The most elite army in the Northland is the Knights of the Northland, and besides that, the most numerous are the militiamen conscripted during the war.
Most of them are ordinary farmers who have only received a little basic training. Their weapons are pitchforks, and those who can handle iron swords can be passed down as family heirlooms.
inside the tent.
A rough map was hung up, and many forces were marked with different colors.
"Our military strength this time is only 417 members of the Northern Knights, and 5,000 members of the standing Black Crow Legion. Other than that, there are only temporarily recruited militiamen, totaling less than 20,000 people..."
Gran was wearing military uniform: "And the army of the Drake family has already entered Dragon City, plus the army that was originally loyal to the royal family, and there is also a strong city. I don't think we should choose the battlefield here."
Frank leaned on a huge sword, his face was meticulous: "Sensible proposal, but..."
He stood up like a granite statue: "Philatherin III is my lord, the king was murdered, and the subject is obliged to avenge him! Where are the ravens in the south and east?"
"The Duke of Blackcastle promised to lead his troops northward as soon as possible, encircle Dragon City with us, and denounce the crimes of the Drake family! But there has been no action yet."
"As for the Duke of the Eastern Islands, his attitude is somewhat ambiguous, but he is willing to support us with a batch of supplies."
All kinds of information came together, and a group of knights looked at the map and made a battle plan.
After the meeting was over and everyone went out, Frank left Gran behind: "Tell me, my son, what happened that night is the same as what you said?"
"I can swear to the Mother Goddess!"
Gran's heart trembled, and he replied loudly: "It is indeed that poisonous woman Fulla who killed her husband and the two princes!"
Frank's expression softened, and he gave him a hug: "No matter what, I'm very happy that you can come back alive."
"Thank you. Actually, I thought I would die in Dragon City that day, but an unexpected person saved me." Gran rarely replied with some perplexity.
"who's that person?"
"His Excellency Eric, the chief mage of the court."
"It turned out to be a wizard!"
Frank suddenly realized that wizards always have some unknown means, and whatever happens is reasonable.
"Does he still serve the king?"
"K!"
Grann had a different thought in his mind.
That court change was too deliberate and rough, and the ending was something neither of the two families wanted to see.
He has reason to suspect that there are third-party forces involved.
However, he did not say this guess.
Because there is ambition in the little wolf's heart!
If the mainland is not chaotic, how can there be a knight and his use
Walking out of the tent, Raffis in silver armor followed behind him: "According to the Duke's order, I and a squadron will be assigned to your command."
A squadron of the Knights of the North, the standard is five black iron knights, one bronze knight, plus Raffis, it is definitely a very powerful force.
"Very good, I announce the first order. Sweep the surrounding nobles who are loyal to the queen and the Drake family!"
Gran's face turned ferocious: "We need a steady stream of supplies, and we need to let those who follow us taste the sweetness, otherwise the people below will lose their spirits."
"Follow your orders."
Luo Feisi smiled and bowed: "So, what is your goal?"
"Needless to say, of course Drake's closest branches and in-laws..."
Gran looked at Raffis and saw the surprise on his face: "Did you think I would attack that Freedom? I'm not a fool. Before my staff figured out a way to deal with that person, I wouldn't Get ready."
"a wise decision."
Luo Feisi bowed his head, saluted, and stepped back.
…
Liberty, Manor.
The original bustling scene has become much more depressed, but a surrounding wall has been erected near the villa, and it is still being heightened and strengthened.
"Looking at this scene, it's really going to war."
Sulu returned to the territory with silver eyes, and the first thing he entered was such a scene.
"tutor."
In the villa, Ham with two thick dark circles saw Sulu and finally heaved a sigh of relief: "You are finally back!"
"Tell me what happened after I left!"
Sulu half-lyed on the chair, staring at Ham.
"According to your will, since you left, Dragon City..."
Ham quickly recounted what happened, while Sulu's expression became more and more strange: "You mean... our queen wanted to poison Gran, but killed her husband and two by accident. A prince? In the end, you can only put your own daughter on the throne? Are you sure she didn't do it on purpose?"
"In fact, this kind of conspiracy theory is very popular, so the queen has another nickname, Kingslayer!"
Ham replied with a wry smile.
"I always feel that things will not be so simple."
Sulu touched his chin.
"We don't need to think about who the mastermind is, we just need to think about how to deal with the next big battle, or how to stand in line."
Ham bowed and said: "My lord, although you are a free nobleman, your territory comes from the king. In theory, you can be counted as part of the king's faction! At present, some royal nobles choose to be loyal to Fulla, and the other part is to vote for the Northland." .”
"Are you asking about my choice? I choose... neutral!"
Sulu smiled and said: "We will fight anyone who dares to invade our territory. This is the power of the nobles!"
"Whether it's the Northern Army or the Royal Army? I understand." Ham took a deep breath and felt a lot more relaxed.
"Well, just go on with your orders and start preparing."
In fact, to be neutral, you have to be strong, otherwise the two sides might destroy you first!
Sulu is just a lord, and the soldiers in the territory can't even make up a hundred soldiers, but because this is a low-magic world, with terrifying personal force, he has this power.
It's a pity that sometimes, it's not that he wants to be a melon-eating crowd, and others let him be.
The next day, Sulu had just woken up and was eating breakfast when a huge warning bell sounded in his ears.
This is proof that an enemy has invaded the territory!
His complexion sank, a few flashes, and he came to the outside world: "What's going on?"
"grown ups!"
Ham pointed to a group of cavalry not far away: "The northern knights are spying on us."
"Huh? Are Gran and Frank really not afraid of death?"
Sulu was surprised.
"No... my lord, although they are knights from the Northland, they may not come here following the orders of those two... They may just be for personal revenge."
Silver Eye also came to the side to explain to Sulu.
"Private enmity?" Sulu knocked on his forehead. He killed several knights in the northern border, and those knights should indeed have their own families.
And with the habits of feudal nobles in the middle ages, even if the Duke of Wolfsburg had a clear order, it might not be able to prevent the opponent from taking revenge.
Not to mention, it is impossible for him to issue a clear order to stop it, otherwise there might be a civil war in the northern border.
