122 Tangled
But immediately, the uniform red armor came into view. Looking at these familiar clothes, many nobles could not help but breathed a sigh of relief. This seemed to be the army of the kingdom!
With so many armies, could it be that there is a legion?
At this time, an officer on horseback, accompanied by several cavalrymen, came towards this place, and many soldiers from the marquisdom had naturally received orders to let these people over.
"Commander Urila of the Kingdom's Fourth Legion, under the order of His Majesty the King, led the Fourth Legion to serve the Marquis and conquer the Principality of Isha!" A tall knight wearing heraldic plate-covered chain armor dismounted and bowed.
Beating his chest, he shouted to Leo respectfully.
The Fourth Legion of the Kingdom!
Many nobles were secretly shocked. No wonder this newly promoted Marquis dared to have such confidence to conquer the Principality of Isha. It turned out that he had such a trump card!
Even though the Fourth Legion is not as elite as the Kingdom's First Legion, it is still enough compared to the remote Principality of Isha, not to mention the elite soldiers of the Marquis and the manpower of their lords.
Leo also understood something in his heart. No wonder the king dared to let him conquer the Isha Principality. It turned out that the back-up was here. That's right. Although he had the confidence to conquer the Isha Principality by himself, how could the king know all this?
?
In the king's impression, he was a marquis who had just been promoted and was not very powerful. No matter how much he accumulated troops and gathered nearby lords, he was still not strong enough to face the Principality of Isha.
Therefore, the king also specially sent the fourth legion of the kingdom to assist. Of course, this was obviously not because King Ulric loved him more, but for the reputation of the kingdom. Not to mention that he and King Ulric still had a good relationship.
With a good relationship, even if there is a stalemate, the assistance that should be given will still be there.
After all, this is a war involving the reputation of the kingdom. If it is really defeated by the Principality of Isha, even by a marquis of the kingdom, it will really affect the reputation of the kingdom.
"Very well, Lord Urila, I hope that in the war against the Principality of Isha, I can see the bravery of the Kingdom's army!" Leo stepped forward and said loudly.
"I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Ulira replied.
The huge team, consisting of nearly two thousand people, was a group of terrifying Kingdom soldiers heading towards the huge forest.
"Are you sure you won't encounter the Noldor patrol on this road?" Leo did not forget to interrupt Freya during the march. Freya selected this road to ensure that he would not encounter the rumored
The Noldor Patrol.
After all, the huge Dongling Forest and the Noldor patrols that appear from time to time are the truly terrifying existence. Those Noldor elves regard the forest as their territory, and humans who enter it without permission will inevitably be sharply punished.
Bow and arrow sanctions.
This is also one of the reasons why the Principality of Isha can develop safely. They are protected by the forest goddess, and the Noldor elves will not attack them at will.
But this time they entered like this, which really worried Leo. Those rumored Noldor elves, their terrible sharp arrows, are really enough to penetrate everything. The thin armors of these soldiers of the Kingdom of the Lion Realm are not at all
Not enough to resist their sharp arrows.
What's even more terrifying is that the Noldor elves come and go like the wind. Maybe a wave of arrows strikes, knocking down dozens of them, and then they dive into the dense forest again, making it difficult to chase them.
"Don't worry, the Noldor patrol will not come to such a remote place. Even ordinary Noldor rangers don't want to go to these places." Freya looked very confident, "As long as you follow the direction I told you
, absolutely guaranteed not to run into the Noldor patrol."
"Then you know so much, why couldn't the previous kingdom or the previous Pendor be avoided when they conquered the Principality of Isha? With their power, it wouldn't be difficult to find a friendly Noldor Elf to lead the way, right?" Li
Ao was also doubtful at this time.
"What kind of scale was that back then? So many soldiers entered the big forest. Let alone the patrols, I'm afraid Twilight Castle would personally send an army to stop them. No matter how many detours were taken, it would be useless. But what kind of scale do you have?
It's impossible to alert the Noldor senior officials, just don't worry." Freya said confidently.
"That's right," Leo nodded, seeming to understand something.
"Oh my god, is this Count Leo crazy? With such a fast marching speed, our soldiers will collapse when they reach the territory of the Principality of Isha!" At this time, a noble said helplessly, and their soldiers were already complaining incessantly.
.
"Isn't he worried about an accident? If he encounters an enemy, it will really be a big trouble." Some nobles said in surprise.
"No, look at the soldiers of the Marquis. They are far less tired than we thought. They seem to have no sense of how to use their strength at all," Baron Carney noticed something and said to everyone.
really!
Many soldiers from the Marquis Territory not only had extraordinary ranks, but at such a marching speed, they all kept breathing evenly without any difficulty. Seeing this scene, even Wu, the commander of the Kingdom's Fourth Army,
The lira also changed color.
The soldiers of the Fourth Legion now feel that they are almost unable to bear it anymore. These soldiers from the Marquis Territory are so terrifying!
Of course, due to the reputation of the kingdom's regular army, Commander Urila could not go to Marquis Leo to plead with him to slow down the march. This was simply a huge loss of face! Although the status of the noble noble was far above that of his commander, these
The regular army has always looked down upon the local army.
In their eyes, the local legions of nobles were temporarily recruited. They were weak in strength, poor in discipline, and poorly equipped. Only the armies of the three great dukes would make them pay a little attention to them.
But I never thought that just by marching in a hurry, Marquis Leo's army would be significantly stronger than their fourth army? How is this possible?
"Ahead is Nila City. This is the western important city of the Principality of Isha. It is garrisoned by two hundred people all year round. Now that they have heard about us, I am afraid there will be reinforcements," Leo frowned and pointed at the map.
"Indeed, Nila City is built on a mountain and the terrain is dangerous. If there are enough troops stationed inside, we will really be in trouble." Freya also frowned slightly and said.
"Is there a way to escape this Nila City?" Leo asked curiously.
"Of course there is. Keep going along this path to the south. From the north you can directly enter the hinterland of the Isha Principality. Of course, the premise is that the two fortresses of the Isha Principality - Heying Fort and Baimo Fort can be defeated."
Freya frowned and said, "But behind these two fortresses is Taya City, the capital of the Principality of Isha."
The capital of the country!
After hearing what Freya said, Leo and the senior officials of the marquisdom were naturally happy. The capital means the core of the Isha Principality. If they can win it, everything will be stable. But the two large fortresses seem to be
It's not that easy to conquer.
"What do you think?" Leo frowned, and he hesitated a little. Should he rush directly to Nila City, or go south and then north as Freya said, passing through two fortresses and heading straight for the capital?
The former requires facing the difficult terrain of Nila City, but the latter takes time and is a test for the endurance of the soldiers. But according to Freya, those two fortresses are obviously not as difficult as Nila City.
attack.
"I think it is better to attack Nila City directly. Even if it receives reinforcements, we will still have an absolute advantage!" Captain Cary said directly, "There is no need to worry about how terrifying its city is!"
"But Nila City, which has gathered reinforcements from the Principality of Isha, and has a dangerous terrain, is definitely not that easy to capture. We have been marching here for some time, and they may have made a lot of arrangements. I suggest avoiding it.
All this, we headed directly towards the two fortresses, so that we can avoid all their countermeasures, and if we don't show up at the two fortresses, reinforcements from the Isha Principality will still gather in Nila City.
When we really attack those two fortresses, they will definitely not be able to come back in time, so we can take advantage of it." Rebella frowned and said, "Of course, the problem is that the soldiers of the nobles and the Fourth Legion are
Can our soldiers hold on and follow us to the two fortresses?"
Of course, only people from the Marquis Territory are discussing here. After all, this operation is led by the Marquis Territory. Everyone else must obey Leo's instructions, so Leo naturally does not need to discuss with them.
Um?
