In Salah's eyes, the Kingdom of Lane does not have a qualified army at all, but the Golden Lion Army may be an exception.
The Golden Lion Legion is the royal guard of the Kingdom of Lane, consisting of a total of 5,000 people. This army has the most sophisticated warriors and equipment, but they do not easily fight with foreign enemies. Their main task is to protect the safety of the royal family and pacify the lords.
rebellion.
In the history of the war between the two countries, the only record of the Lion Kingdom defeating the Bayer Kingdom was created by the Golden Lion Army (because Reggie was expelled, his victory was also obliterated by the Lion Kingdom).
Thirty years ago, the Bayer Kingdom asked for 40 million pounds of grain from the Lane Kingdom, but the Lane Kingdom could only provide 20 million pounds. The furious Bayer Kingdom attacked several cities one after another, until it besieged the king of Lane Kingdom.
Capital Lion City.
After the royal capital was besieged, the Golden Lion Army was forced to go into battle. After a month-long battle, they finally defeated the army of Bayer Country. Bayer Country was also forced to make concessions and reduced the amount of food requested to 30 million.
pound.
At this point, the Golden Lion Army became famous in one battle, and all soldiers of the Bayer Kingdom were instilled with the concept that when fighting against the Lion Kingdom, they must pay attention to the movements of the Golden Lion Army.
It stands to reason that the Golden Lions will not leave the Lion City easily, let alone the mainland of the Kingdom of Lane, but Salah's luck was not very good. He actually encountered the Golden Lions outside Silverpine City.
Golden armor and golden flag are the iconic equipment of the Golden Lion Army. As the strongest combat power of the two countries, the Golden Lion Army is about to start a terrible contest with the Camry Knights.
Salah ordered the Cambrian Knights to prepare for battle, and a few minutes later, the Golden Lions arrived.
The leader of the army was Andrew, the first general of the Lion Kingdom. Like Salah, he was not a man of many words.
The two sides faced off for a short while and each formed a formation.
The Cambrian Knights blew their horns, and the Golden Lions responded with war drums.
The knights launched a charge, and the infantry of the Golden Lion Legion raised their shields. The two warring parties entered a fierce state from the beginning.
The formation of the Golden Lion Legion was very solid, but the Cambrian Knights, who were more capable individually, still broke through the legion's first line of defense. The iron hooves of the war horses trampled the first row of infantry shield soldiers, and then wantonly slashed the second row of infantry shield soldiers.
Spearman.
But the Golden Lion Legion had the upper hand. While the spearmen were desperately resisting the knights, the archers behind them were making indiscriminate counterattacks.
This was Andrew's tactic. They didn't care about sacrificing their own soldiers. He exposed his infantry and the enemy's cavalry to the rain of arrows.
This tactic worked. After several rounds of indiscriminate attacks, all five hundred spearmen were killed, and nearly two hundred Cambrian knights were also lost.
Behind the spearmen were iron axemen, who were more powerful than the spearmen. Andrew still let the archers keep firing arrows, exchanging two for one, or even three for one. Andrew was consuming Cambrian at all costs.
Number of knights.
"Stupid Andrew," Salah spat, "Does he think I only have Cambrian Knights?"
Salah originally did not plan to use the death squads because they carried precious black powder, which was an important weapon for attacking the city, but the current situation did not allow him to be stingy in the slightest.
He gave the order to attack, and just as the two thousand infantrymen were about to charge, a familiar sound of trumpets came from behind.
The gates of Silverpine City opened, and more than a thousand Bayer cavalry rushed out of the city. These were just ordinary cavalry. Their combat effectiveness could not be compared with that of the Cambrian Knights, but they were more than enough to deal with ordinary infantry.
Salah was flanked.
With a powerful impact, the cavalry destroyed the formation of the death squads with a crushing advantage. Salah, who was in a hurry, immediately issued an emergency order to protect the queen's safety.
Gwen, the auxiliary minister standing on the top of the city, smiled. He quietly watched Salah's army being slowly eaten away.
"A stupid woman and a few reckless men, do you want to seize the country of Bayer?" Gwen sighed, "This is simply a big joke."
…
Reggie was learning the customs of trolls from Tortosa in the camp. Tortosa picked up a bunch of grapes, picked off one, and put it in Reggie's mouth. Reggie sucked it down and swallowed it, expressing that it was very sweet.
"Are there grapes on the Lost Mountain?"
"There are wild grapes, my lord."
"Can you make wine?"
"We have no wine, my lord."
"Don't you have any wine?"
"There is a purple fruit called licorca, which can be used to make wine."
"Is that wine good?"
"I have not drunk it, and I am not qualified, my lord," Tortosa said. "Only Theoturitu and the bravest Bai Kega are qualified to taste the wine."
Tortosa has never been able to give a reasonable explanation for the word "Bikega". It should be equivalent to some kind of honor and some kind of official position. It can be interpreted as becoming a warrior or a general.
"Besides Laduca, how many Baikars are there on the mountain?"
"There are five more, my lord. They all have their own territories. Each Baikga has hundreds of tribesmen."
"Clansman?" Reggie was startled. Thinking about Laduca's army, they all looked as special as him. It seems that the mountain monsters follow the traditional clan management method, which means that Laduca is probably a member of the clan.
A patriarch.
"How many wives can a Baike have?" After a few glasses of wine, Reggie asked the question he was more concerned about.
"You can have twelve wives, my lord."
"I remember Laduca only had three wives."
"The other nine wives are not with him. They are waiting for new life on the top of the mountain," Tortosa explained. "After the wives become pregnant, they all go to the top of the mountain. Only there can give birth to the purest life."
Reggie was speechless for a while. What surprised him was not this strange custom, but Laduca's powerful ability. He actually got nine wives pregnant at the same time, and gave birth to three children in two years. It didn't seem like a dream.
"How many wives did Dioturitus have?"
"There are sixty-two in total, my lord."
Reggie rubbed his hands and said, "If I join Diotulitu, can I become a Beikkar?"
Tortosa looked at Reggie in confusion: "Sir, you have already become Turitu, why do you still want to become Baikga?"
"Twelve wives are enough, I'm not that greedy!"
Natalie couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at Reggie: "That's enough, sir, please restrain yourself!"
Under Natalie's resentful gaze, Reggie and Tortosa happily communicated all day long. At dusk, Sophia and Salah returned to the camp in embarrassment with the remaining soldiers.
When she saw Reggie enjoying fine wine and delicious food in the company of Natalie and Tortosa, Sophia, whose face was filled with dust, gritted her teeth and said: "Viscount Victor, you are so happy!"
Reggie said in surprise: "Sofia Turitu, how did you end up like this? Come and have a drink together, Turitu can have sixty-two wives, hahaha!"
"Are you making fun of me?" Sophia looked at Reggie angrily, "We lost the battle, did you know? We lost half of our army, did you know!"
"Fortunately, I left half of it for you." Reggie drank too much. He staggered over to Sophia and said with a smile, "Sofia Turitu, fortunately you still have me."
Reggie staggered outside the tent, looked at Salah who was covered in blood, and asked: "Sarah Baike, how many Cambrian wives do you have? No, no, I mean Cambrian
knight?"
Salah didn't want to talk to Reggie, but Sophia said: "There are still seven hundred."
"Where's the infantry?"
"Less than a thousand."
"One thousand seven hundred people," Reggie tilted his head and looked at Salah and asked, "If I break the city wall, can you deal with the defenders inside?"
Salah still didn't want to speak, so Sofia shouted: "Answer his question!"
Salah gritted his teeth, looked at Reggie and said, "As long as I can rush to the city, I can still end the battle tonight."
"Okay," Reggie burped, "Let's start now. Leave the affairs outside the city to me, and leave the affairs in the city to you."
Reggie staggered to the center of the camp and shouted: "Brothers, there is a war!"
Dozens of infantrymen and carriages were ready for battle.
"Where are you going?" Sophia asked.
"City wall!" Reggie pointed forward.
"You can't go to the west wall. There's a trebuchet there. It's the largest trebuchet in Bayer! It can hit eight hundred feet away."
"Really?" Reggie, who was like a drunkard, laughed loudly, "Muhahaha, then I will break his city wall a thousand feet away from the city wall and see if he can hit me! Let's go!"
