Cid said with a shocked look on his face: "Didn't you go back to inherit your father's title? Why didn't you stay in your own territory and instead came to me?"
"You guys go and be vigilant around us first."
Ross first turned around and gave instructions to the four knights, then sighed and said to Cid: "It's just a small barony, what's the difference between having me here and not having me here? And brother, you don't know how to connect
You don’t know what happened now, do you?”
Sid put down his spear, pointed at the dead wood next to him that was used as a bench, and said, "Let's sit down and talk. As for what's going on outside, I really don't know, because this town may not see any outsiders all year round, and
Because the town can be self-sufficient, people in the town rarely go out."
Ross nodded and said seriously: "The king has sent out troops and is preparing to fight the Moors in the south to drive them out of the Iberian Peninsula."
"What?"
Cid looked at Ross with a puzzled look, frowned and said: "Although the Moorish tribes in the south are declining a little bit, they are still able to organize a huge army in a short time, and after I left the king
Before that, I heard that the Berbers across the sea had established a dynasty - the Al-Murabit dynasty. These Berbers and the Moors were relatives of the same origin, and they also had ambitions to occupy Iberia.
Peninsula, so if I guess correctly, when the Moors know that the king is preparing to attack them, they will definitely invite the Almorabids to come to their aid."
"Brother, you guessed it right. The Al-Murabit dynasty has sent reinforcements, and although its leader Yusef is not the king of the Al-Murabit dynasty in name, he has actually controlled the Al-Murabit dynasty.
Most of the rights of the Bit dynasty, so we can understand that the Al-Murabit dynasty is also the king's personal conquest. This means that this reinforcement that has not yet appeared is definitely the elite force of the Al-Murabit dynasty, both in terms of quantity and quality.
Look down upon.”
Ross shook his head and continued: "But the king had already expected that the Al-Murabit dynasty would cross the sea to support the Moors, so before he took action, he also went to the allies to find a lot of reinforcements, and most importantly, he also invited a saint
The knights came to help."
"If the Holy Knights were in charge, we wouldn't have lost so miserably."
Sid picked up a wooden stick, drew a rough outline of the Iberian Peninsula on the ground, and then drew a horizontal line in the middle to represent the Tagus River. "We and the Moors have always been based on the Tagus River."
Hundreds of years have passed since the Si River was used as a rough dividing line to draw and govern the river. This means that we have lacked the most basic understanding of the Moorish territory and do not know where their main cities are.
There will be a fortress somewhere, so even if we can cross the Tagus River, we will probably be blocked somewhere due to lack of intelligence, or even fall into the enemy's encirclement; the most important thing is, Ross, do you remember us back then?
The Moorish chief who was spared?"
"Of course I remember. If you hadn't stopped me, big brother, I might have killed Blore."
Looking at Rose with a smile on his face, Cid also smiled and said: "When I just left the palace, Blore got the news and planned to invite me to his tribe as a guest. Then I don't have to do anything.
All I had to do was drink wine and eat meat with him; I was quite depressed at the time, and the location of the Bloor tribe was right next to the Tagus River, so it was very convenient for me to leave whenever I wanted, so I decided to go there.
After two days of rest, guess what? The Moorish cities are no different from ours."
"What?"
Ross stood up with a shocked look on his face and said: "Shouldn't the Moorish tribe be a bunch of tents, and then everyone will live near the river to herd cattle and sheep? Could it be that brother, you were deceived by them?"
Sid shook his head and said seriously: "I thought so at the beginning, so I went to other cities accompanied by Blore, or I should say I followed Blore's caravan.
I went to other cities to trade, and then I discovered that the Moors today are no different from us except that they have not yet established a kingdom that can rule the entire territory... And there is a saying that the level of some of their works of art has already
Not beneath us."
Ross was about to say something, but looking at Sid with a serious face, he could only sigh in the end, because he knew very well that his elder brother could not lie to him about this matter.
"Ross, you have worked with me in the army for a period of time before, so you should also know what this means? If we are attacking a nomad, we only need to defeat their first wave of defense, and they may
Retreat across the board, so we may only need to eliminate one-third of their troops, and the Moors will choose to go to the other side of the sea; but we are attacking city-states now, which means that we will face fortresses one after another.
, and the people in the fortress are very likely to fight us to the death. After all, we are feuding, so even if we can win, it will definitely be a tragic victory with many sacrifices."
Having said this, Sid shook his head and continued with a wry smile: "The most important thing is that there are too many people like you, Ross, who don't understand the Moors. If everyone treats this with the same concept as before,
If there is a war, I am afraid that you will suffer a lot in the early stage of the war, so Ross, remember to go to the king when you go back later, tell him about this matter, and let him be prepared before crossing the Tagus River and Moor.
If we fight alone, we will avoid having to use local materials to make various siege equipment when we need to attack the city."
Ross just nodded, and then quickly shook his head and said: "Oh, how could I forget the most important thing? In fact, I came to see Big Brother this time, hoping that you can come back and lead us to participate in this game.
War...and if nothing else happens, the king has now reached the Tagus River with his army, and maybe they will have a fight with the Moors."
"What, why so fast?!"
As soon as Sid stood up, he chose to sit down helplessly, "I have been deported now, how can I take you to participate in the battle? And looking at you like this Ross, I know that the king has not given you a pardon.
