"It seems that the situation is really serious." Moriarty frowned.
A group of soldiers from the Lord's family were attacked and annihilated, and a knight was kidnapped. This was a huge event for Kent County. If the captured Fox Luo Yanta was not retrieved as soon as possible, not only would the
The nobles in the county have lost face and become homeless. It may even shake the hearts and ruling order of Kent County.
"How is Sir Luo Yanta himself?"
"Is he hurt?"
Immediately afterwards, someone asked again.
"We don't know all of this for the time being." Viscount Salk shook his head and said, "However, before we catch those thieves, we must prepare for the worst."
"Lord Viscount, I propose to send troops immediately to rescue Viscount Luo Yanta and eliminate this group of evil thieves." At this time, Lord Crete said loudly. No matter in public or private, Lord Crete is eager to unite the support of many nobles.
Strength, find and kill the thieves.
"What do you think?" Viscount Salk glanced at him, and then turned his attention to everyone.
"Send troops, Viscount!"
“We must ensure stability in Kent!”
"We cannot wait for an attack!"
In the meeting room, the nobles expressed their opinions one after another, and their opinions were quite unified, that is, armed forces must be organized to eliminate this gang of thieves who have entered the county as soon as possible.
"Sir Ensberg, what do you think?" At this time, Viscount Salk withdrew his gaze and focused on Moriarty again.
As the representative of the Ensberg family, Moriarty's attitude will largely determine the outcome of whether to send troops. And since just now, Moriarty has not clearly expressed any attitude or tendency. Moreover, this time he was
The abducted Fox Luo Yanta is undoubtedly at odds with Moriarty, and even the entire Luo Yanta family is not an ally or partner to the Ensberg family. Therefore, will Moriarty represent Ensberg?
Most of the nobles in the conference room really couldn't tell what kind of statement the Sberg family would make.
"First of all, I deeply regret and apologize for the fact that Sir Luo Yanta was attacked and captured. If it hadn't been for the previous horse racing that made Sir unwell and had to leave Windsor Castle midway, I think this tragedy would not have happened.
"Yeah." Moriarty thought for a moment and said.
"It's not your fault, kid." The old man nodded and continued to look into Moriarty's eyes.
"Thank you, Viscount. But no matter what, I am responsible for this." Moriarty shook his head slightly and said: "So, I asked the Viscount to let me and my guards join in and send troops overnight to behead the head.
Valley, launch search and rescue."
"Well, very good, Moriarty!" Viscount Salk finally smiled, his eyes full of admiration.
In fact, among all the people here, Viscount Salk is the most thoroughgoing militant.
First, for the sake of the viscount's responsibility and the dignity of the lord, the old man must arrest all the criminals with his own hands and hang them on the gallows one by one;
Secondly, these thieves had just entered Kent County and immediately came to the area near Windsor Castle to commit such a major crime, which had already posed a serious threat to the Salk family;
Thirdly, as a top-level mid-level warrior and an eighth-level knight, Viscount Salk always treats his enemies in a direct and ruthless way.
Now, Moriarty expressed his willingness to jointly send troops to the Ensberg family, and even more "considerately" proposed an overnight attack, which made the old man very happy.
"Everyone, in the name of Viscount, I now ask the nobles of Kent County to unite and eliminate this evil group of thieves. At the same time, I hope that you can cooperate with my actions and attack overnight, and do your best to rescue Sir Luo Yanta." Suo Suo.
Viscount Erke took a step forward and said loudly.
"Yes, Viscount, the Crete family is at your command. My guards will follow you and set off immediately." As expected, Lord Crete was the first to loudly respond to the Viscount's declaration of war.
"The Helin family agrees to send troops!"
"The Bidianlu family is at your call!"
"The Rosser family is willing to send troops!"
…
For a moment, the conference hall was filled with turmoil, and a strong atmosphere of war boiled over.
"Very good!" Seeing that all the nobles present agreed to fight, Sir Salk's eyes shone brightly: "Then, please prepare yourselves immediately. The troops are so fast that we have no time to summon more soldiers. I
It was decided to use the guards present as the main body to form a coalition. They will set off for Sleepy Hollow in half an hour."
"Yes, Viscount."
Now that the war has officially begun, Viscount Salk in front of him is the natural commander. Therefore, the nobles immediately and solemnly agreed.
"Viscount, I propose that we also inform Viscount McLellan as soon as possible and ask him to send corresponding soldiers to cooperate with our actions." Moriarty thought for a while and suggested: "In addition, immediately notify all the people in the county.
The villages were fortified and the countryside was cleared, and farmers and soldiers were organized to deal with possible attacks by thieves."
"Well, you're right." Viscount Salk nodded and agreed to Moriarty's proposal.
Although he had many conflicts with the McLellan family, Viscount Salk did not have too many taboos in the face of foreign enemies. All the alliances and reminders that should be done must be done. Moreover, the Kent County Allied Forces under Salk's leadership are currently
The departure was imminent, and even if McClellan arrived with troops later, he would never be able to challenge Salk's commanding position.
The order to start the war had been issued, and the nobles left the meeting hall one after another, gathering their soldiers to prepare for departure.
Of course, the ball at Windsor Castle could not continue. The ladies and ladies were half-coaxed and half-coaxed back to their rooms, while the noble men gathered around their heads and lords.
Half an hour later, the heavy iron gate of Windsor Castle was slowly pulled up with a harsh "click" sound, and then the suspension bridge was lowered with a "bang", and groups of riders holding torches flew through the castle gate.
And out.
"Miss, please put on your cloak. The night is too cold."
On a high balcony in Windsor Castle, Mathil held on to the railing and looked at the rapidly disappearing light in the distance. She stood silently for a long time. Behind her, the maid came up carefully and put on an exquisite cloak.
On the girl's shoulders.
"Have all ladies and ladies gone back to their rooms to sleep?" Carefully wrapped in a warm cloak, Mathil sighed softly and turned around to ask.
"Not yet. They are all still gathered in the Lily Hall, looking worried." The maid replied.
"Yes." Mathil nodded.
Despite the intention to block the news, the news that Sir Luo Yanta was attacked and captured and that the Kent nobles sent troops to rescue overnight still spread like wildfire throughout Windsor Castle in a short period of time. Fortunately, Viscount Salk had already issued the order
issued an order to temporarily close the castle to prevent the news from spreading and causing greater panic. But after all, this was only a temporary emergency, and Windsor Castle could not close its doors for a long time. Therefore, the nobles must race against time to find the case as soon as possible.
And catch those vicious thieves, so as to minimize the losses. However, they attacked in a hurry in the dark night, and their opponents were cunning thieves. Even if the noble coalition had a considerable advantage in strength, Mathil was still worried.
"Let's go to Lily Hall. What we need now is to calm down and wait."
As if telling the maid, or talking to herself, Mathil tightened the cloak on her shoulders and walked quickly back to the castle.
At the same time, the coalition of nobles was moving further and further away from Windsor Castle.
The nobles who set off this time were all on horseback, and of course less than half of them were actual cavalry.
Looking at the entire coalition army, there are about 150 ordinary soldiers, 60 low-level warriors, and eight mid-level warriors. Of course, this is certainly not the entire military strength of Kent County. However, the nobles have no time to take it easy anymore.
The respective families were summoned to arm themselves.
When marching at night, the most important thing to avoid is chaos and disorder.
Therefore, at the beginning of departure, Viscount Salk made arrangements for the entire coalition army.
The vanguard is served by Lord Rosser and his fifteen cavalry. Although the Rosser family is not powerful in Kent, it is a knightly family with a long history and is famous for its systematic and solid tradition of knightly education. So for Salk
Lord Rosser and other nobles are deeply satisfied with this point made by the Viscount.
The rearguard of the formation was handed over to Lord Helin. The Helin family had never been famous for its martial arts, but Lord Helin himself was always cautious and prudent, presumably providing enough warning for the "back" of the coalition forces.
The other noble soldiers accompanied Viscount Salk's central army. Moriarty, in particular, was strictly ordered by the old man to follow his lead.
"Sir, five kilometers ahead is Sleepy Hollow." Knight Hamilton still strictly performed his duties and guarded Moriarty closely. Nineteen other family swordsmen also rode horses and wandered around Moriarty.
Arti's surroundings are always ready to intercept possible attacks.
"Well." At this time, Moriarty had also put on a strong leather armor. Although as a mage apprentice, he seemed to be more suitable to wear a mage robe, but unfortunately there is no such equipment in Windsor Castle: "Nearby is
What terrain?”
"It's hills, sir." Hamilton replied immediately without thinking.
"It seems that these thieves really picked a pretty good crime scene." Moriarty smiled silently.
Because they are located in valleys and hills, it can be imagined that the Luo Yanta family's team was not only unable to resist when attacked, but also found it very difficult to escape.
"Tell Lord Rosser to slow down and move forward slowly." At this time, Viscount Salk on the other side ordered. After driving around midnight, they finally approached Sleepy Hollow. The experienced commander asked the team to slow down and gather together.
Physical strength to cope with the upcoming battle.
"Yes!" Immediately, a cavalryman galloped out of the team and rushed towards the forward array.
Because there are so many members of the noble coalition, there is absolutely no way to hide their traces, so there is no need to use tricks such as concealment and sneak attacks. Therefore, when they actually arrived in front of Sleepy Hollow, Viscount Salk had already ordered all the soldiers to light up.
Pick up the torch in your hand.
When fighting thieves, it is far more advantageous to be in the light than in the dark.
