Chapter three hundred and eighty seventh night crisis
The sun gradually sets in the west, and the orange sunlight shines on the dark scales, reflecting a faint light. The Qinghuang Knights are marching. A huge team of more than 5,000 people is sweeping from the Musen Territory to the Night Territory.
Coming, there were spears like a forest, black armor, two thousand warriors on horses in front, followed by three thousand cavalry on foot.
Due to the shortage of war horses in the territory, in order to ensure that the two knights did not lose their cavalry advantage, Allen divided the more than 4,000 war horses between the two knights.
Since Antonio's Qinghuang Knights pounced from Musen Territory to Night Territory without any concealment, Night Viscount also got the news shortly after Antonio invaded.
After all, it is basically impossible for an army of five thousand to sneak into the night territory secretly, unless they use the darkness of the night as a cover, but the variables of the night are too great. After thinking about it, Allen chose to let Antonio and Kande lead the troops to attack directly.
"Lord Viscount! According to the investigation, it is now certain that this army comes from the Musen Territory and is the Qinghuang Knights of the Musen Territory!" Li Sidan, the steward of the Night Castle, bent down and faced the gloomy-looking Corey in front of him.
said the viscount.
"Bang!"
Viscount Corrie, who was originally sitting on the chair, suddenly stood up and slapped the table with his right hand!
"Musen Territory! How dare the Musen Territory invade my Night Territory like this? Who gave Viscount Musen the courage! What about the high-ranking knights? Do they want to rebel?"
"Lord Viscount! I think Viscount Musen is relying on his status as a high-level knight. In addition, due to the invasion of the three principalities, the situation in the Duke of Kane is in chaos. He is thinking of capturing the surrounding territories and taking advantage of the opportunity to rise! After all, Gao
The knighthood is the mark of the earl..." Butler Li Dan thought for a moment and said softly.
"Ha! Just..." Viscount Night said with a sarcastic face, just about to say something.
"Father! Father!"
At this moment, shouts came from outside the hall, and as footsteps came closer and closer, Viscount Corrie's eldest son, Harvey, ran into the hall with an ugly face.
"Harvey! What's the matter? You're in such a panic!" Viscount Kori calmed down the roar in his heart and frowned. Didn't he ask Harvey to carefully collect the specific information about Musen's army? Has it already been completed?
"Father! It's not good... you'd better read it yourself!" Harvey's face was stiff. After hesitating for a moment, he handed over the letter in his hand with trembling hands.
Although Viscount Corey was not satisfied with Harvey's panicked look, he still took the letter, opened it and read it.
Viscount Corrie, who was originally calm, suddenly changed his expression and looked at the letter in his hand with disbelief.
"How is it possible! How is it possible that Musen Territory has so many warriors! Five thousand troops! How is it possible!"
Suddenly, Viscount Corey threw the letter in his hand on the ground, shouted with red eyes, then quickly turned his head and stared at Harvey with a cannibalistic gaze.
"Harvey! Tell me, how did you get this information? It's so ridiculous!"
"Father! This... this is true..." Harvey felt his father's intimidating gaze and felt panic in his heart. Naturally, he didn't want this to be true. Unfortunately... it was the fact, so he could only answer bravely.
road.
"Really? Haha! He, Alan Charles, has only been a Viscount for a year. How could he, in such a short period of time, form a viscounty with an army of five thousand people, including two thousand cavalry!
Say! How is this possible! This is nonsense!" Viscount Corey stared, shouted, then exhaled and sat down slowly.
"Father! The Musen Territory is heavily guarded, and it is difficult for our spies to break in. Therefore, we have no idea how many people there are in the Qinghuang Knights in the Musen Territory. So it is not true that the Qinghuang Knights have 5,000 people.
Impossible." Harvey looked at Viscount Corey and wanted to explain.
"You don't need to say anything. Harvey, I'm very disappointed in you! Go down!" Viscount Corey shook his head, looked at Harvey who insisted on his own opinion, and sighed.
Even if all the baronies below are added up, the army of his Night Territory, which is also a viscounty territory, is only 3,000 people at most. However, the Musen Territory just had a battle for the viscounty not long ago, and many people died in the battle.
The strength of the territory has weakened. Under such circumstances, how could the Musen Territory be able to form an army of more than 5,000 people!
"Father! I..." Harvey looked anxious, but seeing his father's cold face, as if he didn't intend to listen to his explanation, he had no choice but to retreat with a sad expression.
"Lord Viscount! I think it is not impossible that the Musen Territory can gather an army of five thousand at this time!" After Harvey left, the words of the butler Li Sidan reached the ears of Viscount Corey.
"Oh! Li Sidan, what do you think?" After hearing this, Viscount Kori raised his head slightly, looked at Li Sidan standing at the bottom, and asked in confusion.
Li Stan is Viscount Corrie's right-hand man and has been assisting Viscount Corrie in managing all aspects of the territory. Compared to his young son Harvey, he trusts Li Stan more.
Viscount Corey knew that Li Sidan would not express his opinions randomly. Now there must be a reason for Li Sidan to say this, so he was waiting for Li Sidan to give an explanation.
Butler Li Stan bent down slightly and said with a faint smile: "Lord Viscount, do you still remember the refugees who have poured into our territory these days?"
"This is natural!" Viscount Corey frowned as soon as he heard the word refugee, as if he thought of something unpleasant.
Population is a good thing for any territory, and Viscount Corey naturally hopes that more and more refugees will migrate to the Night Territory to settle there. With the population, there will be soldiers, taxes, and labor.
When these refugees began to pour into the Night Territory, Viscount Corey was quite happy and secretly thought that he had received benefits. However, as time went by, various problems broke out and small conflicts continued to break out. Many of these refugees practiced
Thefts and robberies have made the security situation in Yese Territory extremely bad, and even murder cases have occurred.
Moreover, according to Viscount Corey's understanding, bandits seemed to be appearing sporadically in the wilderness of the territory, in groups of three to five, all of which were the incarnations of desperate refugees.
"Lord Viscount! I think Viscount Musen probably forcibly recruited these refugees who poured into his territory into the Qinghuang Knights, which made this army reach 5,000 people! So Master Harvey's
It’s not impossible!” Li Sidan said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Viscount Corey's eyes flashed slightly. It seemed that it was really possible. These refugees were indeed a source of soldiers.
"Indeed! If Viscount Musen really does this, it is really possible for the army to reach 5,000 people! However, the actual quality of this army is much lower! Haha!" Viscount Kori said with a smile.
