Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 64

[Chapter 64 Battle]

: The Royal Capital of Kargash.

Antony II was a charismatic king. He liked oil painting and poetry. He often held various cultural salons in the palace and was good at the accordion. He was known as the “bard-like king”.

At this time, with the latest news brought by the raven, the poet king’s face was full of anger: “Those damn green barbarians have caused a green disaster again!”

Prime Minister Mason is a court earl without a fief. , with gray hair and wisdom in his eyes.

Looking at the chaotic imperial meeting, he knew what was going on. He coughed: “It is meaningless to hold anyone responsible now. The key is how to deal with it. What do you think, the Minister of Military Affairs?” The Minister of

Military Affairs is the only real duke in the kingdom, Bauhinia. The Duke of Flowers is also a relative of the king.

He stood up, cleared his throat and said: “There are about five thousand Green Forest people this time, but they are far from the kingdom’s opponents. All the lords will be loyal to the king, and they can gather an army of 30,000 people. The key is that Arnold Castle and its The fall of the latter series of castles is full of fallacies and strange things…”

“Sir Caston…”

Anthony II couldn’t help but look at the Minister of Intelligence, a chubby middle-aged man with no beard on his face. man.

“Sorry, my Majesty…”

Caston bowed first, with a wry smile on his face: “Our arrangement in the Green Forest has been uprooted, and we rarely receive news. According to the lords of the North, Report… I heard some very strange rumors. First of all, it is certain that Theodore, the original Earl of Green Forest, abdicated and his successor was his second son, Aaron Sotos

! And this second son, the Earl, who was not famous before, suddenly showed extraordinary talents… and recently it is even said that he has been favored by the patron saint of the Green Forest people and can perform miracles and summon huge banyan trees. , can use the thunder from the sky… Well, it is said that Marquis Arnold’s castle was blasted open by him summoning the thunder and fire from the sky.”

“Nonsense!” Grand Duke Bauhinia sneered: “We have all seen it. The bard’s magic and the tricks of the so-called soothsayers are okay as entertainment at banquets, but actual marches and wars are a joke! Does the kingdom still rely on us to recruit so-called wizards and prophets to protect us? The only thing that matters is iron and blood!”

The old but still healthy Grand Duke looked at the king: “Your Majesty, please allow me to fight on your behalf!”

“Everything is left to you,”

Anthony II said with confidence.

In this era, the king did not have many private soldiers. Ten thousand people was the limit.

To form an army, you need the help of various lords.

Among them, the Duke with the largest territory will naturally be the leader, and the combined number of each family will be 20,000!

This adds up to thirty thousand, the peak power of a kingdom!

…

At the same time, inside Shuanghe Castle.

Aaron was cutting a piece of steak casually.

The castle belonged to a family of counts and guarded the gate to the kingdom’s northern and central borders.

After taking this place, the army can rush directly into the hinterland of the kingdom.

Because of its important geographical location, there was a count guarding it, but the door was easily blown open by explosives.

Among them, he also used divination and planning to find the weakness of the count’s army.

“It’s so annoying…”

Because there were so many things after breaking the city, Aaron had to eat and deal with things at the same time.

This even took up time for him to dream every day.

Fortunately, the development of the Light of Salvation in Diat City was pretty good and they did not encounter any major enemies.

Yesterday, Lin reported something to Olivia, and the Black Sun Order was resurrected. Several beasts of darkness were even born in succession, and their actions became more and more extreme and crazy.

It can be seen that conflicts will become more intense in the future.

“Your Excellency, what should we do with the original earl of this castle and his family?”

Not long after, Sanchez came over and asked in a low voice.

“Take the earl as a hostage and order the remaining vassals to send troops to follow us as a servant army. Do you still need me to teach you this?”

Aaron looked at his men in surprise: “We still have too few people. Although we don’t lose much in each battle, over time, there will be no one left in the end. Therefore, we must use a country with a small number of people to attack a country with a large number of people.” Absorb surrenders and form a servant army!”

Looking at Sanchez leaving, Aaron felt a little tired: “The Green Forest people are still a little too barbaric. It is too difficult to find a few suitable ministers to govern…”

Originally, it was Thinking about whether to completely occupy the Kargash Kingdom, Aaron now understood that he was overthinking.

The Green Forest people at the bottom are just a group of bandits. After killing enough and robbing enough, they will want to go home.

Perhaps those lords had different ideas, but their governance methods were still too rough and may not be able to digest the new territory well.

The gap and hatred between the Green Forest people and the Kagash people are too great, making it difficult to integrate them.

“Of course, if I am determined to completely occupy this place, it is not impossible, but it always feels like it will take a lot of energy…”

Aaron rubbed his eyebrows.

“Let’s leave such troublesome things to the next generation.”

He really didn’t have much desire to expand the territory. The main reason for launching the war this time was Theodore’s request and revenge.

…

Half a month later, in the middle of the kingdom, the Wind Chime Plain.

Aaron’s Green Forest Army suffered some losses, but with the help of servants, it actually reached seven or eight thousand people, facing off against the thirty thousand Kingdom Army led by Grand Duke Bauhinia.

“The Grand Duke Bauhinia is the commander-in-chief, and another Marquis is the deputy… There are a bunch of knights underneath, this is the main force of the kingdom, right?”

Inside the tent, Aaron looked at the map, with a happy expression on his face: “Destroy this place. With an army, we can go straight to the royal capital and complete the final revenge. We can finally finish the war and go home to continue studying mysticism…”

“Give me the order to summon all the lords for discussion!”

Not long after, all the green forest lords gathered together. , their expressions were a little solemn.

“The army of 30,000 Goatmen is very well-equipped and a bit difficult to fight…”

Knight Yiman gave pertinent advice.

Although there are eight thousand of them now, in fact there are less than four thousand of the Green Forest Army left, and the rest are wounded or left behind.

The servant army is just fine for fighting with the wind, or as an auxiliary force. Such battles will inevitably lead to conflicts or even rebellion.

“My opinion is just the opposite. The more enemies I have, the happier I am.”

Aaron laughed.

All the lords couldn’t help but look at him, waiting quietly for Aaron to speak.

During this period of time, not only the bonus of religious belief, but also a series of victories made Aaron’s commander’s majesty increase day by day, like a deity.

He even doubted that even if he said that the sun was square, these people would have to think carefully about it.

“With an army of 30,000, people eat horses and chew horses, and the logistics pressure is greater than ours… And the way of using troops is merciless, and the second is the lack of food…”

Aaron talked eloquently: “I will lead people around the path to attack the enemy’s logistics. This place is under the unified command of Viscount Bury. You only need to hold it. If necessary, you can retreat and retreat to Shuanghe Castle. Wait for a few days and the enemy army will collapse! “

Viscount Bury is a knight who originally went to the Green Forest. He is very popular. Theodore trusted him and was later made a viscount.

In terms of fighting ability, it can only be said that he is barely the tallest among the short ones.

In fact, Aaron is more optimistic about Knight Iman, but his identity is a bit embarrassing, at least those lords in the Green Forest will not be convinced.

Aaron looked around and continued: “As the deputy of Iman Knight, I reiterate that I need you to hold on and delay for time! Wait for the news of my success!”
