The Great Plains of the Kingdom of Leyte.
Of the 7,000 cavalry guards who invaded here, two thousand had already died in battle.
The main loss lies with the Tully family.
In order to capture the Tully family castle, two thousand knights died under the city walls.
Then for revenge.
There were no Tullys left.
And since this tough battle.
Since the Guards entered the Great Plains, they have not encountered any decent resistance.
Now the number of their legions has increased instead of decreasing.
5,000 cavalry has become 40,000.
Except for the original escort.
The rest were all freed serfs.
The Kingdom of Wright is on a farm in the Great Plains.
The serfs were all captured slaves.
Property belonging to the nobility.
In addition to daily oppression, they were also beaten and killed arbitrarily.
When Alpha's cavalry stormed the estates.
After the initial fear, the oppressed serfs quickly chose to join.
Sir Philip, Commander-in-Chief of the Guards.
It is even bolder to enable.
Not only did they accept some of them as knight attendants, they also formed an army of serfs.
Serfs were engaged in heavy physical labor all year round. Wearing armor and holding spears, they became excellent array infantry.
Philip equipped them with all the armor and weapons he got from the noble manor.
Now!
35,000 serf array infantry appeared on the Great Plains, and they were already the main force.
The 5,000 guard troops became the auxiliary corps on both wings.
With the continuous wars, the serf army gradually became elite.
now.
Beyond a castle.
The pike infantry of the serf army surrounded the castle with their spears waving.
The serf soldiers behind him pushed their crossbows into shooting range.
"Attack!"
Crossbow shooting.
This is a ducal castle.
There were three hundred guards.
The first round of shots caused no damage.
Soon the serf army started climbing with ladders.
Some serfs drew their longbows to cover.
Their cooperation is very good.
The three hundred guards on the city wall were suppressed and could not lift their heads.
During the time of the serf army, it was easy to scale the city wall.
Then came brutal close combat.
This is the weakness of the serf army.
But in the constant war, some soldiers with extraordinary talents also appeared.
A soldier named Tucker rushed up to the city wall, wielding an ax and killing the guards one after another.
Soon the city walls were captured.
A large number of serf troops scaled the city walls.
Immediately afterwards.
The families of the nobles in the castle were thrown from the walls.
It fell to the ground and made a "servant" sound.
Outside the castle.
Philip said after seeing this.
"Tucker's strength has increased again."
"A good seedling of a magic crystal warrior."
"There are many talents among the serfs."
Philip is also finding out these days, when the numbers are large enough.
You can find all kinds of talents there.
Tucker is just one of them.
And these talents, after going through the war, will become the backbone of the serf army.
"Took the Duke's Castle."
"There is also a Marquis Castle 200 kilometers away."
"Command the Legion to prepare to go to the target point."
That's when.
A cavalryman ran over quickly.
"Your Excellency."
"The latest information."
"Xinhui and Lannis' 65,000 legions are heading north to prepare to destroy us."
Phillip smiled lightly.
"It's finally here."
"The king said before that let us create more pressure to attract more troops to break through the border fortress of the Kingdom of Leyte."
"So!"
“Let’s start with them.”
"Call the army to stop."
"Go south!"
"Fight!!!"
"Yes!"
And when the battle on the Great Plains was about to begin.
Hastings Border.
Within the defense lines of the Wright Kingdom.
A large number of legions began to mobilize frequently.
One after another, the cavalry returned from the front line.
"Quick!"
"You idiots."
"The defense line was destroyed."
"We are going back to save the family."
The nobles stationed here rode war horses and brought their servants and soldiers with them.
Leaving the defensive fortress along the Golden Road.
And this situation doesn't just happen here.
Inside the fortress of the Wright Kingdom.
Large groups of cavalry are being mobilized frequently.
Anyone with eyesight can see it.
This is when the Wright Kingdom can no longer withstand the pressure.
at the same time.
The Holy Son Commander of the fortress defense line is in the command hall.
The nobles were already quarreling.
"Asshole, retreating at this time is betrayal."
"Do you know how many people died for the border fortress?"
"Now in order to have a cavalry force of 15,000, a full 200,000 elite cavalry must be sent south."
"In the entire fortress, we only have 350,000 mobile cavalry."
"There are no more cavalry."
"Who will guarantee the patrol routes between fortresses?"
"Who will protect the transportation defense line behind the fortress."
"You idiots, don't you see that we are directly opposite us."
"Hasting's cavalry is trying to break in every day."
"As soon as we discover a hole in our defenses."
"Our impregnable defense will become vulnerable!!!"
The roaring sound echoed in the fortress.
Duke Guth is the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Leiden.
This time, the main retreat was the defense line of the Kingdom of Wright.
The Kingdom of Leiden was not affected.
But once the Wright Kingdom withdraws its troops.
Then Hasting's army presses in.
Their defense will be a sieve.
At that time, it will inevitably affect the defense line of the Kingdom of Leiden.
Now the pressure is mainly on the nobles of the Wright Kingdom.
Grand Duke Guth did not want to bear the pressure of Hasting's army alone.
That's why he looked so angry when he heard that they were withdrawing their troops and preparing to wipe out the mere 15,000 cavalry behind them.
only!
Duke Gut's anger was useless.
The nobles here are from the Kingdom of Wright.
News came from the royal capital.
The territories on the Great Plains suffered a devastating blow.
Their families, wives, daughters, and wealth were all gone.
Countless serfs were also incited.
If no soldiers return yet.
The Kingdom of Wright will be destroyed.
At this time, the nobles no longer care about the line of defense.
They left the fortress and the castle spontaneously.
Retreat toward the rear.
Those who stay here are just talking nonsense.
"Your Excellency, you are the Duke of the Kingdom of Leiden."
"Please don't get involved in the affairs of our Kingdom of Wright."
"Unless you are willing to give us the territory."
These words directly blocked the other party.
"You!"
Duke Gut could only look at the Commander-in-Chief.
Ask him for help.
"I have no way to control this matter."
"Now we can only rely on ourselves for our defense."
Apparently he acquiesced to the approach of the nobles of the Wright Kingdom.
This made Duke Gut almost angry to death.
"The line of defense, the line of defense will be destroyed in your hands."
"Stupid."
"15,000 cavalrymen actually have to leave 200,000 knights."
"Extremely stupid."
After cursing and leaving.
The nobles of the Wright Kingdom bowed and saluted.
"Your Excellency."
"According to the plan, we will retreat to the corresponding position."
"If Hasting's legions cannot attack."
"The war on the Great Plains cannot be settled."
"We cannot restrain the nobles below."
"They will choose to return."
The Holy Son Commander nodded.
The departure of these nobles was to better carry out the orders of the gods.
at the same time!
This was also to appease the anger of the nobles.
The effects of the war on the Great Plains were too bad.
The nobles suffered too much loss.
If some compromises cannot be made.
Staying here forcibly could easily lead to a mutiny.
"Go ahead."
"Tell the nobles not to worry."
"The God Lord has ordered Lannis and Xinhui's 65,000 troops to go north."
"The war in the Great Plains will soon be settled."
"If our side wins."
"I will approve their rotation to return to the kingdom to rest."
"Thank you, Your Excellency."
The nobles left.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Holy Son put his hands behind his back and looked at the map behind him.
The plan for this battle is marked on it.
The request of the gods was to put pressure on Hasting's army.
Force the opponent to dispatch legions from the royal capital for support.
This is not an easy thing to do.
So far, the strength of both sides at the border should be said to be evenly matched.
Although Hasting has a million troops.
But most of them are farmers and soldiers.
The real combatants are some nobles and Alpha's cavalry.
If you go according to plan, you will lead the army on the defensive line to attack.
Those peasant and soldier legions will burst out with terrifying fighting power.
Rely on defending the castle.
Can greatly consume their elite warriors.
But without taking the initiative, they just want to gain an advantage on the defensive line.
Then you can only use stratagem.
The Commander-in-Chief's plan is not complicated either.
Take the initiative to expose flaws and attract Hasting's border troops to attack.
His goal is nothing else.
It's Alpha's cavalry and Hasting's noble regiment.
As long as one of them can be eliminated.
For me, that means the mission has been completed.
For this reason, the plan to lure the enemy was launched.
Taking advantage of the war in the Great Plains of the Leyte Kingdom to create the illusion of internal division.
The 200,000 cavalrymen who had withdrawn were lurking in the rear.
Just wait for Hastings to send troops in.
At that time, the castle will have no way out.
The cavalry came forward to fight.
As long as it can destroy one of the opponent's cavalry.
Even if they have completed their mission.
King Alpha will definitely send a large number of elites over by then.
And they just need to continue to defend the line.
"Now!"
"It depends on whether the nobles over at Hastings will be fooled."
Anomalies in the Leyte Kingdom's defense line.
It was soon obtained by spies lurking everywhere.
The news soon reached Hastings.
The new king saw this as a huge opportunity.
He found Guderian himself.
Prepare to persuade the other party to send troops and break into the defense line of the Wright Kingdom.
What he didn't know was that Guderian had already received new instructions from Alpha.
Reinforcements will arrive soon.
This time!
There will also be an alchemist.
The defense line of the Wright Kingdom must be attacked.
But we have to wait for Alpha's support to arrive.
If we send troops to attack now.
In case it is a trap by the other party.
So!
The whole thing will develop in an unfavorable direction.
to this end!
Guderian was ready to refuse without even thinking.
But then I thought again.
"Two mobile cavalry regiments on the Hastings Line of Defense."
"The border knights he led and the Hasting noble cavalry who took refuge."
"The defense line is almost solid now."
"These Hasting noble cavalry have always wanted to expand their military exploits."
"They contacted each other and had the idea of joining forces to take back control of Hastings."
"Now that Alpha's support is on the way."
"It's better to let them give it a try."
"If it succeeds, the nobles will definitely suffer a lot of losses, and it can effectively weaken them."
"If it fails, that's just right. We can promote nobles from peasants and soldiers."
"Complete the complete integration of Alpha and Hastings."
Think of this.
Guderian looked at the new king.
"If the nobles persist."
"Then I can't stop it."
"They obey the king's orders."
"It's up to you to give the order and let them send out troops to test."
"If the information is confirmed to be true, we have indeed found an opportunity."
"Then attack."
The king was overjoyed.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Then the king held a parliament in the royal capital.
The nobles of Hastings were in a state of revelry.
They had already confirmed through their respective channels that the Kingdom of Wright was in dire straits due to Alpha's cavalry invasion.
Those lines of defense on the Hastings border seemed impregnable.
But it was already crumbling.
Countless nobles abandoned their defenses and left the border.
Go to the Kingdom of Wright and save your own territory.
"Your Majesty the King."
"I still have three thousand knights available."
"I also have five hundred well-equipped cavalry."
"My old Cheke family, six hundred, six hundred people all participated in the war."
"For the glory of Hasting, I personally led the whole clan, eight hundred people to join."
The nobles shouted loudly in the hall.
Vent your inner injustice.
Since Hasting was taken.
These nobles have become like second-class people.
A noble end with low alpha in every aspect.
This naturally aroused their dissatisfaction.
In the end, the nobles of Hastings decided that they wanted to live with dignity.
The Kingdom of Hastings must be restored.
Betrayal is now impossible.
They can't.
But you can prove yourself with military exploits.
Let the nobles of Alpha Kingdom see if they continue to oppress them.
The nobles of Hasting will also resist! ! !
Not for long.
Outside Hasting's defence.
The nobles had spent all their money, and a full 50,000 cavalry had been assembled.
This cavalry can be said to be Hasting's last asset.
Almost all the nobles in the country, big or small, joined in.
Therefore, the number of magic crystal warriors inside is also staggering.
It reached as many as five thousand.
And it was such an elite team that greatly increased the confidence of Hasting's nobles.
At the pre-war meeting.
King Hastings marched in person.
Although he is Guderian's puppet, he also has his own will.
To restore Hasting is its own will.
This does not conflict with loyalty to Fang Yuan.
"Although we have received accurate information, conflicts have broken out within the fortress of the Kingdom of Wright."
"But!"
"Don't let your guard down, Sir Chel."
"Take three thousand people and conduct reconnaissance through the castle passage of the Kingdom of Wright."
"If the opponent has enough cavalry patrolling and the castle resists fiercely."
"Then this is not a trap."
"If you don't encounter the slightest resistance, don't hesitate and come back immediately."
No one who survives in this era is a fool.
Whether you are a noble or a king, you cannot get into a high position without fighting.
Naturally, he will not be deceived by the simple plan to lure the enemy.
After hearing this, the knight who called Chel came back with fists in his hands.
"As you command, Your Majesty the King."
Then the three thousand cavalry were reduced to pieces.
Along the previously scouted passage, we quickly headed towards the fortress of the Kingdom of Wright.
The nobles of Hastings were cautious.
After all, this is the last legion in their hands.
Once the losses are heavy, the kingdom of Hasting will no longer exist.
It's just that they are cautious, and the commander of the Holy Son who has opened a trap on the opposite side is even more cautious.
"Coming in?"
"It is the noble cavalry of Hastings."
After hearing this, Commander-in-Chief was a little disappointed.
If possible, he would still like to eat two in one bite.
Eat Alpha along with Hasting's cavalry.
If it can succeed.
The opponent's mobile forces were completely wiped out.
Then all of Hasting will become the kingdom of the gods again.
"What a pity."
"But now that they are here, don't let them leave."
"Command the front line."
"Counterattack immediately."
"Tell them to hit them harder."
"These nobles of Hasting must know."
"We have enough troops!!!"
"Don't be afraid of any temptation." "Obey!!!" (End of Chapter)
