“Since trousers restrict the lower limbs of man, the human soul, and since trousers are an insult to all life except human beings, I, the Consul of the Alemannic Federation, order the wearing of trousers throughout the country.
As an offense and punishable by death, all existing pants of all kinds must be burned and the ashes spread evenly over the tombs of our ancestors.”
At the end of the letter, the seal of the Consul of the Alemannic Federation was solemnly stamped.
"This Count of Île-de-France!"
Ella was so angry that she almost rushed forward and tore up the decree posted on the wall.
Ella is taking more than ten members of the Ancient Church of Abraham to Normandy. From there, you can quickly take a boat to Stade.
Then, they saw this decree.
There was a quiet and peaceful scene around Normandy. People were coming and going on the road, but no one paid attention to this decree. Even the guards were snoring under this decree.
However, the Count of Île-de-France caused quite a lot of trouble to Ella and the others. Two people who went to explore the port came back quietly and whispered: "There is a large group of guards at the port, who are checking for Semites."
, Looking for an ancient book.”
From this, one could tell that it was the action of the Abrahamic Orthodox Church. As the consul of the Alemannic Federation, the Count of Île-de-France was like a lackey of the Abrahamic Orthodox Church. He followed the requirements of the Abrahamic Orthodox Church in a very short period of time.
Troops and horses were mobilized.
The sea route was impassable. Those members of the Ancient Abrahamic Church began to whisper about which land route they should take.
Amid everyone's discussion, Ella suddenly asked: "Does any of you know the mayor of Lübeck?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison.
"Are you sure?"
Everyone nodded unanimously.
"In this case, there may be a spy among us."
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone wondered why Ella made such a judgment. Habiba laughed and said, "Isn't this too much to worry about? Everyone here is a member of the Ancient Church of Abraham. Why?
I would not give such an important book as "The Techniques of Chariots to the Sky" to..."
"The Technique of Chariot Ascension is not famous among outsiders, right? The book is written in Hebrew, so most people can't understand it, right? Even if they can understand it, the content inside is cipher text, and most people can't.
You don’t see any value, right?”
Ella asked three rhetorical questions in a row. Seeing that no one had objections to this, she continued:
"In that case, why did the mayor of Lübeck price this ordinary book at 500 nomis? This is not a small amount!"
"There is something strange indeed..." Gottfried mused.
"Obviously, the Mayor of Lubeck has a certain connection with the Ancient Church of Abraham. He wants to auction the book and it will be taken away by the apostles. He cannot be indifferent. But all of you who stood up to protect the book said that you don't know the Mayor of Lubeck.
This has to make me suspicious."
Ella glanced at everyone again.
"Of course, this is just a guess with little evidence. But for our safety, we still have to be careful. I will plan the entire next route, okay?"
…
…
Amy seemed to have heard someone say that after the war, there would be heavy rains.
She looked up at the sky. There was a layer of dark clouds in the sky, and it seemed that it might rain at any time. This made the positions of both armies become desolate. No matter how brightly polished the armor was, it was lost under these dark clouds.
Got luster.
The enemy troops have formed a formation and are advancing towards Amy and the others. Every time they take a step forward, the pressure on the battlefield becomes heavier.
A battle between the Alemannic coalition and the pirate kingdom is about to begin on this battlefield.
Glahid hurriedly walked to Amy.
"I made a rough judgment based on the opponent's flag. The enemy's strength gathered this time was about 15,000."
"Fifteen thousand? Doesn't sound like a lot. We have more than 30,000 people here."
Participating in this battle were almost all the lords of the Kingdom of Sweden, as well as some of the vassals of Hestein. If this incident had not suddenly caused the lords to be temporarily unable to raise the necessary supplies, Amy's troops would have been able to fight again.
Double.
In fact, when these lords first arrived, the sudden increase in the number of people made the logistics supplies tight for a time. This situation did not get better until they captured Hamburg. But Amy was not worried about this. The sudden change of this war
Sex, the same is true for the Alemannic Federation.
Duke Otto gathered more than 30 lords from the Alemannic Federation, but the number of people was only 15,000. This must be the reason.
"It is indeed as you said, whether it is the number of people or the combat capability of the infantry, we have the advantage. But the key to the problem is that the Pirate Kingdom does not have a tradition of fighting on horseback. We only have infantry! The lords of the Alemanni Federation are all
There is always a team of knights. Although each lord does not have many knights, when they are gathered together, they can organize a heavy armored cavalry that can play a key role in the battle! Fighting on the plains is not good for us! "
"Didn't you already expect this, so you deployed our troops on the high ground? What are you worried about now?"
Since Amy did not understand military affairs at all, all the battles along the way were actually dispatched by Glahid. After hearing that the coalition forces led by Duke Otto were approaching, Glahid immediately went to a high ground where the enemy troops must pass.
We set up a position and waited for the enemy to arrive.
The troops directly from Ella's territory are in the middle. Gruenhide arranged the troops into three fronts. Amy was protected in the last front and was at the highest position on the entire battlefield. In order to further ensure Amy's safety
, Glahid also asked the soldiers to build a simple camp and set up simple fortifications such as horses and caltrops.
In addition to the central army, the other lords' troops were arranged on both sides of the high ground. Glahid asked these lords' troops to form two fronts. The lords who supported Amy were placed in the front line and were responsible for charging into the formation and killing each other.
The enemy; and because the lords who opposed Amy might fight passively, Glahid placed them on the latter front, responsible for guarding the two wings of the Chinese army.
"The problem lies in supplies! Come with me!"
Grahid pulled Amy up a rock and pointed to a place in the distance to show Amy. It was not far behind Duke Otto's army, where hundreds of carts carrying supplies were connected.
, formed a large circle. The inside of the large circle protected an astonishing number of cattle, sheep and horses, as well as the soldiers responsible for transporting supplies. The carts in the siege circle were also very huge, as high as two people, and could hold five people inside.
For an adult, there must be a lot of military supplies inside.
Amy was surprised: "How could it be possible? Such a large amount of supplies in such a short period of time should far exceed the ability of these lords to raise funds!"
"We can only think that they were well prepared. Before we launched the attack, or even before the King of Sweden landed in Stade, these lords of the Alemannic Federation were already preparing for war."
"Preparing for war? Against whom?"
"Just think about it. The closest thing to the Dukedom of Anglia is the Pirate Kingdom."
"They have long wanted to attack the pirate kingdom???"
"It can only be said that we are one step ahead of them - but this kind of thing no longer matters. Although I am confident that we can block this wave of enemy attacks, the enemy's supplies are far more abundant than we imagined, not to mention that this is on the enemy's border.
, a protracted war will be detrimental to us. But if we take the initiative to launch an attack, we will have to go down to the high ground and confront the enemy's heavy armored cavalry head-on."
"The Hero King Hestein once used 10,000 infantry to defeat the First Field Army of the Seven Hills Empire, which was an army of 25,000 people and also equipped with a large number of cavalry. How did he do it?"
"So he is the King of Heroes, and I am just a small lord under the King of Sweden. Of course, if it were the King of Knights or the King of Sweden, they would be able to do the same thing. But I can't do it."
"You have an army of 30,000 people now?"
Glahid shook his head: "If those lords could completely obey my command, I would be more confident."
Amy was speechless for a moment. She knew that what Glahid said was true. In the absence of Ella, the group of lords in the Pirate Kingdom were completely scattered. Although she had nominally gathered the group of lords together.
, but down below, most of the lords still treated her in a submissive and submissive manner.
She stared at the car formation in the distance for a while.
"There's one thing I'm not very clear about. Normally, would supplies be placed so close to each other?"
"If it is a well-prepared battle, military supplies should be placed much further away from the main battlefield. Half a day, one day, or even three days' journey from the battlefield is possible. But it is difficult to say during the march. The enemy should
I probably didn’t expect that I would set up my position here and didn’t have time to prepare, so I hurriedly used carts to protect the supplies behind the Chinese army.”
"In other words, this is an opportunity that only exists today? Glahid, pick me a team of the best soldiers, and I will attack in person!"
