The battle at Silvermoon Keep allowed the Austrian army to defeat the orcs' scouting force.
But this did not stop the overall decline on the battlefield.
One day after the battle, Schroeder led the main force to arrive. Alda plus troops sent by lords from various places totaled more than 6,000 people.
This greatly strengthened the defense power of Silver Moon Castle, and Joyce's heart was finally relieved.
To their great joy, one day later, the Royal Capital Knights who had retreated from the Blackstone Plains also arrived, and Princess Catherine was among them.
"Your Highness!"
Schroeder led Joyce to kneel down on one knee and saluted Catherine. There was a hint of excitement in the old knight's voice.
"Long time no see, respected Knight Schroeder... I should call you Sir now."
Katherine and Schroeder had known each other many years ago at the Watcher Fortress.
When the two met in this scene, they really had mixed feelings.
The already ruined Silver Moon Fort soon became a large construction site. Soldiers, migrant workers, and planes recruited from all around began to repair the fortress.
The first joint meeting was held in a newly tidied room.
“You should issue an order to prohibit the troops who have retreated here from escaping further west!”
Schroeder requested the princess, and Catherine agreed.
It is time to organize a second resistance.
——
Inside the tent, Orc General Callum looked coldly at Amul who was kneeling on the ground.
"You really didn't lie?"
"You wouldn't dare even if you gave me a thousand courages."
Amul reported to him that he was in Silver Moon Castle encounters, including those strange weapons.
Callum narrowed his eyes.
The main force of the army led by the war chief has entered the human world, and the orc war horses are galloping across the vast northeastern wilderness of Aldo.
Generals from all walks of life are vying to capture cities and territories, and his task is to keep fighting westward until he sees the sea... or until he can't attack anymore.
But Callum would not believe that the soldiers at this time could only reach Silver Moon Castle.
It's just a small reconnaissance team that was foiled, no big deal.
He picked up the wine glass, drank it down, and wiped his mouth.
"Let's go, let's see who is more powerful, the swords of the prairie warriors, or the firearms of humans."
——
Jingyao's recent form is not good. Bad news comes one after another.
The fall of Watcher Fortress, the rebellion of the Bradley family, the failure of Sunset Valley...
The young King Rodney XVIII was distraught.
At the imperial meeting, a group of ministers accompanied the king with a frown.
There are also people who are relaxed and even a little happy.
It would not be impossible if the knights led by Princess Catherine were destroyed.
“Your Majesty!”
Palace Prime Minister Rupert suggested: "Since we have military tickets shipped from the northwest bay, we should organize a large army as soon as possible."
"You are right!"
The king looked To his brother, "Yureko, is your work going well?"
This young man has lost some of his frivolity, his eyes are full of enthusiasm, and he seems to have finally found a career that he can fight for.
He stood up and bowed to his brother.
"The army is expanding. Within a month we have recruited nearly 5,000 people. My God, new soldiers are still coming into the military camp."
"The method of military stamps is really wonderful. , those civilians who didn’t have enough to eat rushed to sign up after buying food with military tickets.”
The king nodded, “Okay, yes, but they must be trained well, courage, and courage. Discipline and fighting skills are both indispensable. I don’t want to recruit just a bunch of losers.”
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty!”
Yuriko nodded solemnly. . Rodney XVIII felt a little more relaxed. Once the elite of the Royal Capital Knights were really finished, he would not only be worried about the orcs, but also the two nominal ministers in the south.
Everyone continued to discuss the situation.
Earl Merlin pointed on a map.
“If only the land of loess is lost, the orcs still lack room to move, because there are still many mountains blocking them in the south, but if they occupy the Blackstone Plains and continue to break through to the east to the Giant Elephant Plains, Below is the land of thorns adjacent to the royal territory. With only a golden river separating it, the orcs can pour down like a flood that bursts a bank and continue to submerge the rich southern part of the kingdom. "
The earl's words made it clear. Everyone trembled.
"It's all Catherine's fault, she is so useless!"
Prince Eureko said angrily, "Why can't the orcs be stopped in the loess land!"
Many people asked the prince Cast a dissatisfied look.
“Well, you can’t blame Catherine entirely.”
Prince Jassim defended his niece, “After all, no one expected that the Bradley family’s rebellion would almost bring the entire The land of loess was given to the orcs.”
While everyone was discussing, an attendant walked over quickly and handed the king a piece of paper.
Rodney XVIII looked at it and his brows suddenly spread.
"Everyone! The kingdom's army defeated the orc army at a Silver Moon Castle! And Catherine also evacuated there safely."
The ministers were in an uproar.
The king's voice was a bit mobile, "Thank you to the merciful Heavenly Father, and thank you to those brave northwest people."
Northwester?
Earl Merlin asked: "Is it Count Greyman's army?"
"Exactly!"
The king beamed with joy and kissed the letter hard. .
The true feelings came out: "My dear Paul, how many miracles are you going to bring me."
This aroused everyone's interest, and the depression just now was swept away.
“Is it possible to counterattack?”
Many people immediately raised this issue.
But after this letter was circulated, everyone realized that the Alda army of only more than 500 people had defeated the invading 1,000 orc cavalry by virtue of its geographical location and weapon superiority.
The scale of this battle is also too small, and it seems to have little effect.
But in the face of repeated failures, this is indeed good news, especially since Her Highness Catherine is safe.
Rupert said: "Your Highness, everyone, I think we need to negotiate with the orcs before the new army is formed?"
"Negotiating with the enemy? Impossible!"< br>
The ministers exclaimed.
The palace minister is old and confused, so he can just compromise with Giles. After all, we are all civilized people.
Orcs are nothing, they are a bunch of barbarians who only know how to fight and win.
"Of course it's not a real negotiation. This is delaying them, releasing some smoke screens, and trying to find ways to make them delay their offensive."
Rupert patiently explained to his colleagues.
“I want to go there personally to find out what these guys are thinking, and whether the Bradley family can bring them back to the kingdom.”
The words of the palace minister made waves in the king's heart.
The recent series of bad news needs to give the kingdom a chance to breathe.
"In this case, my dear Prime Minister, I will appoint you..."
"I'll go!"
Prince Jassim stood up and did his duty. : "The Prime Minister is old, how can he run such a long distance."
