Chapter 566 Determination
Hydera, the capital of the Principality of Eton, has been in a sea of joy for several days in a row. The market is full of people singing and dancing, and the pubs are open at half price and do not close at night. Except for the guards on the city wall who were on high alert, everyone had a sincere smile on their face.
The reason for this is that the ruler of the principality, Grand Duke Eteote Cabret, led an army to defeat the skitarii sent by the Corner Bay Church outside the city.
This apostolic army led by Collins General Fedotov is composed of cavalry, infantry, archers, and auxiliaries. It has complete arms and is well-equipped. It neutralizes the states from the unsuspecting north. " "Coming through the "road", when they set foot on Eaton's territory, this army was in full strength and momentum. Their continuous victories made them, from the commander down to the soldiers, full of confidence in victory.
As long as Eton is captured, the soft belly of the Corner Bay League, the main force of the Protestant Alliance, will be attacked from the north. Together with the Skitarii in the east, which is confronting the main force of the Corner Bay League, they will launch an attack. It will be like a huge army. Just like an egg is clamped by the iron tongs, with a little force, the egg will break with a bang. The coastal countries will definitely fall under the control of the Corner Bay Church again, and those blasphemous villains will definitely be punished.
But such a menacing army collapsed under the city of Hydra. They hit the iron plate and suffered a bloody head. They were put away by the army of Archduke Cabre. The church's expeditionary force was completely defeated and returned in defeat. Perhaps returning in defeat is an understatement, because at that time they were directly defeated and fell into an unorganized and undisciplined state. It was hard to say how many people could return.
According to the memories of those who witnessed that battle, the battlefield situation at the beginning was quite unfavorable to the Eton army. It was not until a mysterious and powerful reinforcement entered the battlefield that the situation of the battle was reversed...
In the palace of Hydra City, the ruler of Eton, Lord Eteote Kabre, was lying quietly on a recliner. He closed his eyes and stretched his right arm on a small table beside him. A doctor The dresser was changing the medicine for him.
“Hiss——”
The Grand Duke couldn’t help but groan.
During the battle to defend Hydra, he was injured and was hit hard on his right arm by a large hammer. He almost lost control of his arm on the spot. The giant sword he was holding fell to the ground. The great pain even made the Grand Duke faint. Fortunately, he was protected by the guards around him. Even more fortunately, the situation on the battlefield had been reversed at this time. The soldiers of the Eton Army were counterattacking the enemy with great momentum. If it was the Eton Army earlier While they were struggling to support themselves, the Grand Duke's injury was likely to cause his own army to collapse in an instant.
"Your Majesty, please be patient, it will be over soon... Oh, okay, you can move your arms, but don't move too fast, and don't move too much."
The Archduke of Cabret lifted his bandaged arm from the table and slowly contracted and stretched it several times. "I feel that I am recovering quickly. At least I feel better day by day."
"Your feeling is correct, Your Majesty." The doctor said with a relaxed look, "I estimate that it will take another ten days. In a matter of minutes, your arm will be back to its original state."
"Thank you for taking care of me, Ramirez," the Archduke thanked him.
"Oh, I can't bear your gratitude, Your Majesty. Not to mention that as your court doctor, this is my duty. Being able to take care of the heroes who saved Eaton is the greatest honor of my life. If you were There is a long way and two shortcomings. As long as I step out of the gate of the kingdom, I will be eaten alive by the people of Hydera."
Dr. Ramirez looked at Grand Duke Cabre with a look of reverence on his face.
Grand Duke Cabret smiled modestly, "Haha, I just did what I should do. There is another hero who saved Eaton."
The doctor waved his hand, "You Never belittle yourself." He thought the Grand Duke was talking about those loyal and brave soldiers.
"Honey, how are you?" At this time, a charming female voice came in from outside.
The Grand Duchess Helen walked in with brisk steps.
"Oh, Helen, Ramirez treated me very well. He said that I will be cured in about ten days. You see..."
The Grand Duke As he spoke, he jumped up from the recliner and waved his arms as if to show off to his wife. Dr. Ramirez was so panicked that he quickly grabbed him.
"Your Majesty, you can't move much now."
Helen quickened her steps and came to her husband, her eyes widened, and she said angrily: "Are you okay? Have you forgotten the pain of scars? ”
The Grand Duchess has a gentle personality and rarely gets angry on weekdays. As a great beauty, she has a special flavor when she gets angry at this time. Grand Duke Cabret was suddenly fascinated by her.
Dr. Ramirez felt that he should leave, so he excused himself and left quietly.
The Duke gently hugged his wife with his still movable left arm, "Is there any new news from Teacher Mariana?" Helen looked up at her husband and said dissatisfied: "What? Does it have to be When there is news from the front line, can I come to visit my husband?”
“Ah, dear, you know that’s not what I meant.” Grand Duke Cabret smiled bitterly, woman. Always picking on you when I don't expect it.
"I'm just very concerned about the battle situation. After all, we finally gained the momentum to counterattack."
"Humph!" Helen wrinkled her little nose gently, with an expression of letting you go, " Teacher Mariana did send me the latest news. A more detailed battle report written by your general will be available the day after tomorrow."
"Ah, hurry up and give me Teacher Mariana's copy. Listen, I can't wait any longer."
Helen said seriously, "What can be confirmed is that the church troops on our side really don't have the ability to fight back!"
" Oh?”
"The remnants of the church army retreated in a very embarrassed manner. Those neutral city-states that they 'borrowed' took advantage of this opportunity and began to rebel. There were traps waiting in front, and we were chasing behind them. They continued to lose troops along the way, and even It’s hard to call it an army.”
“Haha, it’s so satisfying!”
“Didn’t the doctor tell you to pay attention?” >
Duke Cabret was so excited that he couldn't help but start waving his arms again, and then a burst of pain hit him, which made his wife scold him again.
“There is also good news. The city-state Parada hopes to get our protection in case the church army comes back.”
ah? Cabret was surprised. This news was indeed an unexpected surprise. He took the initiative to ask Eaton to provide asylum. As a ruler of a country, the Grand Duke could no longer understand what this meant.
"However, Teacher Mariana suggested that our army can stop when it reaches Parada. If it goes any further, it will be beyond Eton's current capabilities. Especially if our main force has not returned yet."
Looking at her somewhat distracted husband, Helen reminded him.
The Grand Duke said: "Oh, of course, I am not a person who is dazzled by victory. It is good to have a buffer zone."
"That..." Helen suddenly became There was some hesitation and hesitation.
"What's the matter, dear? What are you so worried about in front of me?" The Grand Duke put his left hand on his wife's shoulder.
"Teacher...Teacher, she asked me to ask you, is your previous promise still valid?"
"Of course!" Grand Duke Eteote Cabret said loudly, " I mean, of course it works!"
There was no hesitation in his voice.
“The Cabreys have always kept their word, and they saved Eton and the people here.”
Helen looked at her husband excitedly, his eyes were very clear.
“No matter what happens in the future, let us face it together.”
