Release that Witch - Chapter 202

[Chapter 201 Returning to the Fortress]

Considering the effect of the pill, Roland did not immediately order the First Army to pursue it, but instead sent Lightning and Maggie to monitor the opponent’s situation.

[[(? []

The wounded soldiers on the defense line were treated immediately. After the whole battle, only five people were wounded, and all of them were hit by spears. Four of them were from the artillery team. To his relief, the enemy The wave of spear-throwing that approached about 150 meters did not make the artillery disperse. Instead, they lowered their bodies, avoided the short spears with the help of gun mounts, and re-entered the battle in the shortest possible time.

Nana stayed behind Standing by behind the line of defense, especially when the enemy turned around and fled, she ignored the sound of rumbling artillery fire and ran to the artillery position with Viscount Tigu to treat the wounded who were stabbed by short spears. It is hard to imagine that half a year ago she was still a A little girl who is dizzy at the sight of blood.

In the end, five people survived. Amidst the cheers, many soldiers gave her a military salute and watched her leave the battlefield.

In fact, this battle was much easier than dealing with the Duke’s coalition forces At least, without the drugs, the militiamen in a state of addiction behaved extremely badly. Some even ran two or three kilometers and then lay down on the ground, unwilling to move again.

The chasing troops quickly gathered them all and detained them together. Heading to Longsong Fortress. During this period, the First Army also captured two knights. Although they did not swallow the pills, they had already lost the idea of resistance. Faced with the ever-approaching pursuers, they simply chose to surrender and demand Write a letter to the family to get a chance of redemption.

Arrived at Longsong Fortress four days later.

According to the information obtained from the interrogation of the surrendered knights, Nightingale easily disintegrated the troops staying in the fortress castle. The captain was shot dead on the spot, and more than a hundred militiamen panicked The birds and beasts scattered in the middle, and then fell into the ambush circle set by the First Army at the gate.

Roland’s men found Pei Luo imprisoned in the castle dungeon. He looked a little haggard, probably caused by worry and anxiety, but given that the honeysuckle Despite his noble status, the earl did not suffer any inhuman treatment.

After nearly three months, the prince saw the agent again.

“Your Highness, it’s great to see you.” Pei Luo finally relaxed his uneasy mood, and he described all the things he experienced these days in detail, “I don’t know the envoys of Timothy… …”

“They’re all dead,” Roland said casually, leaning back on his chair, “In addition, more than half of the 1,500 people they brought with them died on the border of the town, and the rest are currently being held in prisons in the fortress.”

Hearing the messenger When the news of the complete annihilation of the regiment appeared, Pei Luo seemed a little surprised, “Your Highness, if you do this, I’m afraid the new king… no, your brother will see you as a thorn in his side.

” At his mercy?” Roland looked directly at him.

The latter lowered his head involuntarily, “No, Your Highness…”

“From the moment he sent troops to the western border, he has been my enemy,” the prince said calmly, “For Timothy Wimbledon Seizing power will only become more and more urgent. He urgently needs land and titles to distribute to those nobles who support him. If it is only for fun, why do you manage this fortress for me? You should be very clear, only when I become Graycastle King, your position in the western region can only be stabilized.” He paused, then continued, “In order to prevent this from happening again, I need to form an army to defend the fortress.”

“Army?” Pei Luo was stunned.

“That’s right, not knights, but a full-time army composed of civilians.” Roland slowly said his plan, “You pick out a team of 300 people from the fortress, and my subordinates will train them how to fight.” Combat. The requirements for these 300 people are: they must be civilians, have never committed a crime, are not believers in the church, are between the ages of sixteen and thirty, and have no physical disabilities. During the training period, they will live in Border Town, and their weapons will also be provided by I will provide it. Your knights and patrols will only be responsible for city security from now on, and more details are written on it,” he handed the other party a piece of parchment, “you can publish the announcement according to the above content, recruit and screen .”

If you want to control the city defense in your own hands, it is obviously the most appropriate way to station an army of your own.

But the number of the First Army is too small, and it is not enough to defend Border Town, let alone divide troops to garrison Changsong Fortress.

Therefore, it is a compromise choice to let the other party provide manpower and conduct training by yourself.

Nightingale’s polygraph ability can guarantee the purity of the team, and the new army’s training methods and ideological education can make this group of people quickly form combat effectiveness. Equipped with muzzle-loading muskets that are about to be eliminated, even if they are captured by the enemy, it will not be a big problem.

In addition, this army can also shoulder the task of transmitting information and intelligence. As long as someone tries to attack the fortress, Roland will be able to get the news immediately.

“I understand.” Pei Luo nodded.

“I will review the personnel you have screened out. Don’t try to put eyeliners in the team. This approach is meaningless.” Roland warned, “The spies you sent before have all entered the mine now. If you Something like this happened…”

“No, Your Highness,” the other party wiped the sweat from his forehead, “I promise not.”

“The next thing is the church,” the prince leaned back on his chair with satisfaction, “you probably haven’t You know, the cathedral of the fortress was set on fire by Timothy’s subordinates, and the high priest Tyro was also killed by them, and now there is only ruins left there.”

“They actually burned the church?” Pelor was stunned by the news, “This… I have to report to Hermes.” The

church law stipulates that UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com The king and the lord are obliged to protect the local church facilities from infringement. If they are unable to stop it, they should immediately report the news Report to the holy city.

For the former ambassador who is proficient in the law, it can be regarded as a normal reaction, and this kind of thing cannot be concealed at all. I am afraid that the pious believers in the fortress have already sent the secret letter to the holy city on the same day.

“Indeed, it should be reported, but the content of the letter needs to be adjusted appropriately.” Roland raised the corner of his mouth, “You only need to state in the letter that the attackers were Timothy Wimbledon’s troops, and they looted and burned the church not long after. Then leave Longsong Stronghold, just don’t know where you are. In addition, you enclose this thing with the letter.” He took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to Pei Luo, “it is said that it was picked up near the church. They will naturally understand.”

“This is… what?”

“The church’s secret drug is also the target of Timothy. It can make ordinary people explode with mortal power in a short period of time, but after the effect of the drug wears off, the user Will slowly exhaust and die,” Roland simply explained, “Tifeco wants to use this drug to strengthen the army and stabilize his precarious throne. When the church sees this pill, they will naturally understand his intentions.”

As for whether it will Taking steps is another matter.

“As you order, Your Highness.” Pei Luo put the ball into his arms and replied.
