"Sir, you are injured!" Catherine quickly came closer.
After seeing Bink dying, she quickly put away her rapier and took out a kerchief from her arms to wipe the blood from Nalant's ears!
"grown ups!"
"grown ups!"
In addition to Catherine, Quirk and others were also running in the distance. Vivian even sat on Big Huihui, and then covered Shirley's eyes to prevent her from seeing the bloody battlefield.
"Sir, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!"
When all his subordinates arrived, Nalant waved his hand to everyone.
Winnie had already come to him and was getting ready to start treatment.
With this lucky girl here, this kind of minor injury is nothing to worry about.
"Quick, take the enemy commander's body to the woods and let the noble heirs clean it up for him!"
Nalant still maintained a trace of respect for the enemy commander whose name he did not know.
It must be very difficult to cultivate to the high level of Silver, but in the end, I was killed by two big bombs of my own.
In addition, this corpse Nalant has another use, that is, it is ready to be taken to Giant Forest City to complete the final blow of this journey to the hinterland.
…
Next, after sending a group of subordinates away to clean the battlefield, Nalant accepted treatment from Winnie on the spot.
When Winnie's green light spots lingered on both sides of Nalant's ears for a moment, the treatment was immediately completed.
…
"This...this is Deputy Commander Bink, he...he is dead!"
"Then...aren't the other cavalry..."
In the center of the convoy in the woods, all the young descendants fell into a daze as they looked at the corpse in front of them.
In the past, the Giant Forest Knights were definitely the highest existence in their hearts.
And Bink, the deputy commander, is also someone who is looked up to by the descendants of the minor nobles. After all, in this continent, being able to practice to the high level of Silver is really a ceiling for them.
None of them can guarantee that they and others will be able to cultivate to this point on the day they die of old age.
But now this high-level silver knight has died like this...
"Young masters, my lord has asked you to help the commander sort out the body. Please don't stand there any longer. If the lord asks about it later, I won't be able to handle it either!"
Quik on the side looked at the noble heirs with some amusement.
They only saw Bink's body now. If they saw the bloody scene outside, they didn't know if they would faint from shock.
"OK!"
After hearing the urging, all the young descendants woke up from a dream.
Although I have never done anything like this before, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
…
Next, cleaning the battlefield only took half an hour.
The reason why it was so fast was mainly because the battlefield was too brutal and there was nothing left to deal with.
Except for the armor of dozens of titular knights, which are still valuable for recycling, the rest of the horses or leather armor have become to pieces.
In the end, Narant could only ask the guards to collect the armor and load them into the carriage, and the rest of the corpses and belongings were buried on the spot.
Looking at the seventy or eighty pieces of armor with pits and pits, Nalant also felt a sigh of relief.
Technology is sometimes like a Pandora's box. If these seventy or eighty extraordinary knights are placed on a frontal battlefield, they can defeat thousands of enemies.
But in the end, he died in a daze under hundreds of kilograms of black powder.
…
After cleaning up the battlefield, Nalant and his team continued their journey. At their speed, they could reach Giant Forest City in less than three days at most.
After arriving at Jusen City and completing Lord Narante's visit here, he can return proudly.
Counting the days, the Northern Principality's army should also have received the news. He felt that it was impossible for the other party to still sit still.
Therefore, I need to use this time difference to return from the original route, so that I can successfully end this robbery trip to the rear.
…
When Nalant headed towards Jusen City, what he didn't know was that there seemed to be an error in his calculations.
Because, the army of the Northern Principality actually received the news that he was wreaking havoc in the rear three days ago.
This news did not come from Aled, who was in charge of Giant Forest City, but from the two housekeepers he had released to report.
Speaking of which, these housekeepers are also very flexible in their thinking. They know that Jusen City may not have many troops.
Therefore, the first four housekeepers to be released were divided into two groups.
One group went to Giant Forest City, and the other group rushed to Oak City.
One advantage of doing this is that they have a high probability of rescuing their captured young master.
Because the enemy's direction is all the way north, Jusen City will definitely send troops when the time comes, and they will go towards the principality army to ask for help from their master.
If the master knows the news, he will definitely ask the Marquis to send a team to come back for reinforcements.
In this way, when the time comes, a pincer attack will be formed, and the possibility of his young master being rescued will naturally increase.
And the reality was just as they expected. When the news reached the frontline troops, it received unimaginable attention.
In the end, even the king and the marquis summoned the two of them.
Of course, the most requested information by the King and the Marquis was about the weapons in that team.
In addition to the 'Rage of Glory', he also focused on asking about weapons that can shoot thick and long arrows.
After confirming that the team that was ravaging the Marquis Territory had these weapons, the King and Marquis immediately decided to send tens of thousands of troops to start returning reinforcements.
Among them are 10,000 infantrymen and 2,000 elite cavalry regiments, each led by two high-ranking silver knights, with several junior silver knights among them.
The reason why the Northern Principality is so concerned about the mere 500 people in the rear is because they have discovered that the infantry they sent to encircle the rear may be wiped out.
In addition, from the mouth of a captured heir of an enemy earl, they learned that the culprit who wiped out tens of thousands of their infantry was probably Narant, who was wreaking havoc in the rear.
In addition, the crossbow used by Nalant was also recognized as the secret weapon that could kill the Bronze Knight in the valley.
In addition, the king and the marquis were also very interested in Nalant's 'Rage of Glory' and the cart-shaped trebuchet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! For all these reasons, if the principality army had not besieged the Agate Principality army, an additional 20,000 troops might have been sent to encircle and suppress it.
…
On the hill where the Agate Principality was guarding, the king summoned six counts to hold urgent discussions in the meeting hall.
"You also heard what the envoy from the Northern Principality just said. Let's talk about it! What are your opinions?"
"Your Majesty, we definitely cannot accept their proposal. It is related to the future of our entire principality!" Bernard was the first to speak.
"Bernard, the one who was captured is not your heir, you must have said it lightly!" Bernard's words just fell, and he was immediately opposed by Lakoff.
It turns out that just now, the Northern Principality sent an envoy to express that the Northern Principality wanted to have peace talks with the Agate Principality.
Of course, now that the Northern Principality has completely gained the upper hand, the so-called peace talks are completely unequal treaties.
The content is very simple, that is, all the nobles of the Agate Principality can be allowed to leave safely, but the guards and all weapons in their hands must be left behind.
Of course, the elite cavalry regiments of the king and several counts are no longer among them, and their cavalry regiments can leave safely.
In addition to the above conditions, another one is that the Agate Principality must cede the Fire Dragon Castle Fortress to the Northern Principality.
According to the Northern Principality, the reason they want the Fire Dragon Castle Fortress is very simple, that is to avoid future invasions from the Agate Principality.
And if the Agate Principality can agree to these two conditions, they will unconditionally release a group of captured noble heirs.
On the other hand, if the Agate Principality does not agree to this condition, then their northern principality's patience is limited, and they may use their heirs as human shields to attack the hills.
These conditions of the Northern Principality sound like a trap. Whether it is abandoning the guards and fleeing, or selling out the Fire Dragon Castle, as long as this is really done, the future of the Agate Principality... I am afraid there will be no future.
But as time went by, the food supply for the tens of thousands of troops had gradually reached the bottom, and it seemed that they could no longer sustain it. The earls had already prepared for the worst.
Now the Northern Principality is threatening their heir, which makes everyone hesitate.
After all, even if there is no threat from the north, if forced to do so in the end, all the earls will choose to abandon their vehicles to protect their commanders, and try to save the most elite team to escape.
Now among the conditions given by the Northern Principality, the only difference is that there is an additional condition of ceding the Fire Dragon Fort.
But the exchange of Fire Dragon Castle is also related to the safety of their children.
Therefore, the king and several earls focused on whether it was worth using the Fire Dragon Castle to redeem their heirs.
"Rakov, although my heir was not captured, this is not the most important factor for me to judge the quality of this peace negotiation!" Bernard frowned.
"Your Majesty, and everyone, the Fire Dragon Castle Fortress not only facilitates our invasion of the Northern Principality, it is also our most important barrier against the Northern Principality!"
"If the Fire Dragon Fort Fortress is lost, then the offensive and defensive situation of our principalities will be reversed, and the Northern Principality can invade us at any time!"
"More importantly, if we lose these tens of thousands of troops again, we may no longer be able to resist the invasion of the Northern Principality!"
When Bernard finished speaking, the place fell into silence.
How could the other earls not have thought of the consequences Bernard said.
But according to the current situation, there is a high probability that the army will not be able to be brought back.
Although Fire Dragon Fort is very important, it is not their own territory, it belongs to the king.
Several earls still have a sense of superiority from the past, and feel that as long as they return safely and only need a year or two to cultivate, they can regain their strength.
When they launch the Autumn March again, they will be able to recapture the Fire Dragon Fort Fortress by force.
Now it is more cost-effective to exchange the Fire Dragon Fort Fortress for their heirs.
"Dong dong dong!"
Just as the hall fell into silence, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" The king did not show displeasure at being disturbed, because he knew that if he knocked on the door at this time, he must have something important to report.
Sure enough, an iron guard walked in cautiously, and then whispered: "Your Majesty, a spy just took advantage of the opportunity to attack and delivered a secret message!"
Although the army is now besieged and cannot send messages to the outside world, some of the spies deployed in the past will still take the initiative to pass on information as much as possible.
However, most of this information is of no use. It only provides a rough description of the military strength at the foot of the mountain. There have been several such secret letters in the past two days.
"Yes!" The king calmly took the note after hearing this, and waited for the Iron Guard to withdraw before slowly unfolding it.
After opening the letter, he checked the complex icon at the bottom of the secret letter and concluded that it was indeed a spy. The king then took a closer look.
As he checked, the king's brows immediately wrinkled, and his eyes became bright and dark.
Seeing this situation, all the counts waited curiously to see if the king would reveal the contents of the letter later.
Not long after, the king read the letter and found that he had no intention of keeping it secret. He looked at everyone strangely and said: "The Northern Principality mobilized tens of thousands of troops and returned to the Marquis of Lisson the day before yesterday!"
"Deploying tens of thousands of people to return to the Marquis Territory? Your Majesty, why is this?" All the earls were confused.
"It seems that an army from our Agate Principality has invaded the hinterland of the Marquis of Lisen and has captured several castles in succession!" The king's eyes flashed.
"Ah? Our Agate Principality's army has entered the hinterland of the Marquis of Lisen. How is this possible?" Several counts looked at each other.
They are all sitting here happily!
Where are the other armies of the Agate Principality?
"Your Majesty, whose army is it? Our troops seem to be all here!" Several counts looked at me and I looked at you, feeling a little confused.
"I don't know this either. I still want to ask you! Isn't it your army?" The king was also surprised. He originally thought it was a good deed by his vassals.
But looking at their reactions now, it seems that this is not the case.
Unfortunately, the position of the spy who delivered the news was not high, so he could only collect general information, because the news had spread throughout the entire Northern Principality army.
As for the identity of the invading team, it has not been revealed.
"Could it be that there are teams from other small principalities pretending to be our Agate Principality and invading?".
"Probably not! How dare those small principalities dare to invade the northern principality!" All the earls frowned and speculated.
"Maybe I know who that team is!" At this moment, Bernard, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
"Bernard, do you know?" In an instant, all the earls looked at Bernard, and the king also asked directly.
"Yes! Maybe, this team is my vassal Nalant!" Bernard no longer pretended.
After much thought, the only possibility was that it was Narant.
After all, according to Stella, Nalant is indeed planning to go to the hinterland of Marquis Lisen.
It's just that he was a little unsure just now, whether the 500 people in Nalan District were capable of conquering several enemy castles in a row and attracting tens of thousands of troops from the Northern Principality to return for reinforcements.
After all, among the hundreds of people in Nalant, excluding the auxiliary personnel, the real combat effectiveness is less than 200.
