Aaron took a few steps forward and raised his hand with the ring on it.
There was a sudden silence below.
This kind of power made Theodore a little envious when he saw it.
"Everyone... I will explain everything that happened in Sotos Castle this time... Everything is a conspiracy, a despicable plan by spies from the Kingdom of Kargash, which directly led to the death of my brother, Colin.
…”
Aaron's expression was calm, his voice neither slow nor fast, and he declared firmly:
"But Green Forest people will never forget their hatred!"
"Now... I declare my first order after becoming the earl. My knights, go back to mobilize your army and recruit your militia. We will go to war with the Kingdom of Kargash!"
"We want the 'Green Disaster' to break out again and make the sheep people in the south tremble when they hear our name!"
"We will go south, plunder wealth, iron tools, and take prisoners..."
"Eventually, we will arrive at Kargash, the capital of the Goatmen, and hang every member of the royal family to death!"
…
Aaron is not a speaker, but at this time, he can make his words full of inflammatory power.
Along with his final roar, every Green Forest Lord's eyes were burning with ambition and fire, and they howled like wild beasts.
…
Kingdom of Kargash, autumn in the seventh year of Antony II's reign.
The green disaster broke out!
The Kingdom of Kargash has a large territory, with one duke, two marquises, four counts, and more small noble fiefs.
Among them, the one closest to the Green Forest is the Frostwolf family in the north - Arnold.
When the contemporary Marquis Arnold heard the news, he was so frightened that he almost became restless. He summoned all the knights and soldiers and gathered 3,000 people. Then he was overwhelmed by 5,000 Green Forest Warriors...
In terms of one-on-one strength, the Green Forest people are superior.
Needless to say, under Aaron's call, all the lords of Lusen came out in full force this time and gathered five thousand troops.
On the plains of the river valley, Aaron did not use any witchcraft or even command. Five thousand people rushed forward, and then the army on the opposite side collapsed...
This left Aaron speechless, and then he commanded the army to pursue them and arrived at Frostwolf Castle.
Aaron is riding a horse, flanked by Eight Fingers, Sanchez and other guards.
The ranks of the five thousand green forest troops were very scattered. Some soldiers had no armor at all, and their upper bodies were bare, showing green or blue tattoos. Although their weapons were simple, they were full of tough temperament.
"These goatmen really didn't fight. They just charged and scattered. Such good weapons and armor were wasted."
Eight Fingers wore a piece of outer armor that was ripped off from the body of that knight. It was polished extremely brightly and shone brightly in the sun.
Aaron ignored him and looked at a castle that suddenly appeared on the horizon.
It is built on a mountain with a difficult terrain. The city wall is made of thick granite and looks like a huge turtle shell.
At this time, the lord's castle was often built on a traffic thoroughfare or in a place with steep terrain, guarding the throat of an area and making it very difficult to attack.
In fact, even with the miserable siege skills of the Green Forest people, there is no way they can break this tough nut.
In previous raids, the castle was besieged but not attacked, and the surrounding countryside was plundered. This was a typical example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Of course Aaron wouldn't do that.
He came to the vicinity of the castle, looked at the guards above, and suddenly smiled: "There are about a thousand people defending the castle, right? That Marquis Arnold was probably very relieved, after all, Kagash's construction technology is better than ours."
Well, if a thousand people defend such a big castle, even if ten thousand people besiege it, they may not be able to defeat it, let alone how many people will die..."
"My lord, the enemy has a messenger coming."
At this time, Knight Yiman came to Aaron with a fat man with a pale face.
"Dear Earl Greensen, you are also a vassal of the kingdom, why did you attack us without permission?"
The fat man bowed first, and then said tremblingly: "My master is magnanimous and does not care about the small offense before. If you are willing to retreat, my master will give you a gift that will satisfy you."
This is actually asking for peace and being willing to give compensation.
If it were the previous Green Forest Army, they would have happily accepted it.
After all, they were in disarray and couldn't capture the castle.
But Aaron just sneered: "The king conspired against my family. This is my righteous revenge. Go back and tell your master that if he opens the castle obediently and announces that he will attack the kingdom with me, I will let him go. He only has
Take half a day to think about it..."
In this era, there is simply no monarch who does not fight a few battles with his vassals.
Therefore, the messenger was not surprised, but felt that Aaron was crazy.
After all, for an earl to demand the surrender of a marquis and rebel against the kingdom together is simply shocking.
Seeing the messenger leaving in a mess, Aaron didn't care much.
He is not planning to take action personally this time. As the commander of the first army, it would be cheating to be able to use divination blessing, okay?
Not to mention, some powerful weapons were specially prepared for war.
For example - gunpowder!
Like soil fertilizer, this is something that can be easily made. If Aaron didn't use it before, it would be too easy to imitate.
But later in his dream, relying on [Extraordinary Memory], he found another way to increase the power of gunpowder, and that was granular gunpowder!
The more complex the process, the harder it is to crack.
Moreover, granular gunpowder is undoubtedly much more powerful than black powder.
This time, we can just use war to test it.
"If it fails, I will have to do it myself. Otherwise, if five thousand people attack this kind of castle, they may not be able to win it even if they all die..."
…
Half a day later.
As expected, Marquis Arnold did not surrender.
Aaron looked at the castle that was almost integrated with the mountain and waved his hand.
A group of green forest men holding shields rushed forward.
"Fire the arrow!"
Above the castle, the knights roared at the top of their lungs.
A large number of arrows fell from the sky, most of which were blocked by the shield, while a small number passed through the gaps, causing damage to the Green Forest people.
When they came to the bottom of the castle, there were even falling rocks.
Huge stones fell from the top of the castle, carrying terrifying potential, causing serious injuries to those who were hit.
If this continues and the defenders are unable to be killed, it will do great harm to the morale of the siege army.
"Quick! Dig quickly!"
Sanchez held up his shield, came to the blind spot at the city gate, pressed against the wall, and ordered.
Several men were quickly digging into the ground, burying explosives, and pulling out fuses.
In order to deal with the castle, the army of this era came up with various methods, and digging tunnels was one of them, and it has long been cracked.
Fortunately, Sanchez didn't dig in directly, he just wanted to insert gunpowder.
After it was completed, the group of people receded like a tide.
"ignition!"
Sanchez lit the fuse and ran away like a rabbit.
Boom!
A huge explosion occurred at the city gate. Not only did the door fall apart, but even half of the wall next to it collapsed...
The besieging Green Forest people were startled, then cheered and rushed towards the gap crazily...
