Chapter 456 Has Viscount Harry betrayed?
"Bishop Ferdinand, you need to give me an explanation! Why did the people you sent to me take action without my order!"
Returning to the army, Arlot found Ferdinand with a gloomy face and asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty Alot, our church has promised to help you defeat the Principality of Zeon, so sometimes, as long as it is helpful to the victory, the knights of our church will take action according to the situation."
Ferdinand saw Arlott's gloomy face, but he was not worried. He still had a peaceful face and a calm tone.
"Then tell me, what benefit will killing the eldest prince of the Principality of Jean bring to our victory over the Principality of Jean!"
In fact, Arlott had no opinion on whether to kill the eldest prince Derek or not.
What he was angry about at the moment was that the church people took action without his own orders, which made him feel threatened.
"Your Majesty Alot, although I was not present, I believe they must have a reason for taking action, such as angering Lawrence of the Principality of Jean and making him lose caution because of his anger!"
"Hmph! Bishop Ferdinand, I hope this is the last time this happens! Otherwise, it will be difficult for our subsequent cooperation to continue!"
Although I think Ferdinand's explanation is reasonable, Arlott doesn't like the feeling of being played with.
He is the king of the Principality of Alban. The church is helping him, but it also needs help from him. Therefore, he cannot tolerate the church influencing the direction of the war. At least he must discuss it with him before doing so.
"Your Majesty Alot, please rest assured, I will definitely tell them later to prevent this from happening again!"
Ferdinand bowed slightly and said.
"Bishop Ferdinand, the war is about to break out! Have you completed your deployment?"
Ferdinand's guarantee was a step up for himself. At this critical moment, he must have the support of the church to win, so Alot stopped here and began to care about the next war.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty Alot, everything has been arranged and victory is certain!"
"Very good, then I wish us a great victory!"
Such affirmative words from Ferdinand's mouth were very convincing, and Arlott was exactly like this at this time. After listening to Ferdinand's words, his expression immediately became excited.
…
As the teams of both sides slowly advanced, after more than ten minutes, the distance between the two sides was less than 800 meters. Looking at the enemy troops in the mountains and plains ahead, the heartbeats of both the soldiers of the Principality of Alban and the soldiers of the Principality of Jean began to accelerate slightly.
.
Gervais is also in the Alban Principality team at the moment, but because Gervais only has more than 70 subordinates, he can only be assigned to the flank of the army.
The military formations of the Principality of Jean and the Principality of Alban are arranged very similarly. In the middle are the elite legions directly under the king, while the legions of the earl family are on the left and right. As for the weaker small nobles, they are distributed on the two wings.
"Give me the order to attack! Kill all the intruders!"
Woohoo~
As Arlot issued another order on the moving high platform, the urgent horn began to sound, and the originally slow-moving team also sped up slightly.
"Didn't Hayden take the antidote I threw in? Why didn't he show up yet?"
Seeing that the war was about to break out, and Arlot was still sitting on the commanding throne, Gervais also became a little confused.
"Fire the arrow!"
Just when Gervais was distracted, loud and violent roars came from the front of the military formation.
The armies of both sides finally arrived within a stone's throw, and as the only long-range weapon in the field, longbowmen began their performance.
"Raise your shield!"
Hearing this shout, Gervais had no time to think too much and quickly gave orders to Ike and others.
This time the two sides fought to the death, and the troops used could be said to be overwhelming. There were thousands of longbowmen alone. If you were not careful, you might be shot into a cactus later.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Not long after Gervais finished speaking, countless black spots suddenly appeared in the sky. The black spots were densely packed like a swarm of bees and shot towards the crowd of soldiers accompanied by a whistling sound.
Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!
Ah! Ah! Ah!
In just a few breaths, those black spots gradually enlarged and then shot into the crowd at high speed.
From time to time, powerful arrow feathers hit the shields held by the soldiers, making heart-shaking crashing sounds.
Of course, it is impossible for everyone to dodge such a large number of arrow feathers. There are also many unlucky ones who are hit by arrow feathers from places that cannot be covered by shields, and immediately fall to the ground and howl miserably.
The two sides exchanged arrows for a total of three rounds. After three rounds, the longbowmen retreated to the rear and started shooting freely, and the real battle broke out at this moment.
kill!
kill!
As the officer in front of the military formation gave an order, the torrent of infantry from both sides collided.
With long swords, spears, hoes, and sickles, the soldiers and serfs shouted and attacked the enemies in front.
When the infantry were fighting together, the elite cavalry regiments at the rear also began to take action, flying out from the flanks and bypassing the main battlefield to kill the enemy.
"Caroline, Ike! Follow me!"
While the soldiers from the Principality of Alban rushed forward one after another, Gervais was taking his subordinates to fish. Their team seemed to be rushing forward, but if you look carefully, you can see
It turns out that I didn’t rush a few meters at all.
When the Alban Principality team around him rushed to the front, Gervais stretched his neck and shouted at Caroline and Ike.
At this moment, they were on the left wing of the Alban Principality's team, but it was just in line with his wishes. If they were in the middle of the team, there was no way they could bypass the fighting crowd, but now it was just right!
Gervais was riding a war horse at this time, and there were bulging animal skin bags hanging on both sides of his saddle, which were full of gold coins.
In addition to his war horse, the same is true for the war horses of Ike and others.
In this way, Gervais and his party did not rush forward directly, but continued to circle towards the end of the left wing of the Principality of Alban.
…
"Commander, you see that group of people did not step forward to kill the enemy, but kept going sideways. Should we go over and give them a warning?"
Behind Gervais and the others was a team of fifty people supervising the battle. At this moment, they also saw the strange behavior of Gervais and others.
Because the people on the left wing were all composed of small nobles, the team of supervisors was not prepared to go up and kill a few of them if they disagreed as a warning to others.
"That person seems to be Viscount Harry! The big star next to His Majesty! We can't afford to offend him!"
The captain of the supervising team also saw the actions of Gervais and others, but he shook his head at his subordinates.
Other minor nobles had already joined the formation with their teams. Only Gervais retreated from the front with Arlot, so even though Gervais was wearing full body armor, the captain of the supervising team recognized him.
Not to mention that Gervais and his team were just behaving weirdly, even if they really retreated from the battlefield, he would still pretend that he didn't see them and turn a blind eye.
"Captain, what do you think they are planning to do?"
After hearing the words of his captain, this team member was shocked and did not say anything about beating him. They really couldn't afford to offend the famous man in front of His Majesty.
However, he is still curious about the actions of Gervais and others.
If Gervais and his party continued to move forward for more than a hundred meters, they would reach the outskirts of the battle group.
, there are more than two hundred cavalry from the Principality of Zeon protecting the flanks. As long as they run out, they will definitely be attacked by those cavalry.
"What the hell is he doing! He wasn't prepared, he just wanted to go around and attack the enemy's perimeter!"
The captain couldn't understand either, but he still said it casually.
"It's really possible. This Viscount Harry is really desperate. He was already favored by His Majesty, but now he still wants to make great achievements!"
However, the team members felt that what their captain said was very reasonable, so they looked at Gervais and others intently, wanting to see how they faced those hundreds of cavalry.
"It's about to begin!"
At this time, Gervais and others finally reached the outermost edge of the battle group, and hundreds of cavalrymen from the Principality of Jean over there also started to move.
"So brave! He is indeed the number one noble young man in the Principality of Alban. Such courage is beyond our reach!"
Seeing those hundreds of cavalry urging their horses to rush straight towards Gervais and others, Gervais and others were not afraid at all. There were only more than 20 cavalry and a team of more than 50 people, but they also rushed straight towards that team.
cavalry.
At this moment, these members of the war team all admired Gervais in their hearts.
Fifty meters...thirty meters...ten meters...
As the two sides got closer, the people supervising the battle team widened their eyes, wanting to see what kind of support the big red man in front of His Majesty had to dare not be afraid of hundreds of cavalry.
"..."
However, the scene that appeared in the next second made them a little confused.
Just when the hundreds of cavalry from the Principality of Jean were about to collide with Gervais and others, they suddenly spread out to both sides, bypassed Gervais and his party, and then came to Gervais and others.
the rear.
"Team...Captain...what's going on?"
The members of the Supervisory Team wiped their eyes. At this moment, they could still see a beautiful woman in the team of the Principality of Jean, smiling and talking harmoniously with Viscount Harry.
"How the hell do I know what's going on..."
The captain of the supervising team also widened his eyes and had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
"Could it be...could it be that Viscount Harry had rebelled..."
This was the captain's last thought, but it was because he did not believe in such a result.
…
"Alice, thank you!"
The hundreds of cavalrymen in the Principality of Jean were none other than Alice and her Rose Knights. Because she was worried about Gervais' comfort, Alice brought more than two hundred Rose Knights to personally pick up Gervais.
"Gervis, I hope you can come back safely!"
Alice didn't pay attention to Gervais's thanks, but replied with a smile.
Chapter completed!
