As the second son of Earl Newman, Amin was actually not very fond of Earl Newman. In contrast, Newman preferred his eldest son who had a similar personality to him.
However, although Amin is not very popular with Earl Newman, he is still the legitimate son of Earl Newman. The Newman family has a big business, and he can always make some profit in his hands. Amin, who is away all the time, unknowingly
He managed to build a team of about a thousand people. When he gathered the people together, even Earl Newman himself was a little surprised. This guy actually raised so many troops in private.
The eldest son of Earl Newman, standing next to Earl Newman at this time, saw that his younger brother, who had not seemed to be much of a threat to him in the past, suddenly surrounded the castle with so many troops, was even more uncomfortable. Although he was cultivated as the heir,
The talent did not focus on force at all. He learned from Count Newman's way of managing property. The Breakthrough Knight also relied on the Newman family's large resources to build up. At this time, looking at the menacing army outside, his hands and feet became a little weak for a moment.
In fact, it is not surprising that the Newman family has lost the martial arts inheritance of their ancestors. Under the protection of the Golden Dragon clan, the kingdom has been stable for hundreds of years. A family like the Newman family, which is located in the hinterland of the kingdom, basically has no use for it.
The whole Newman family would have completely transformed from martial aristocrats to aristocratic businessmen if it weren't for A Ming, who likes to wield swords and guns.
"Sir, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"
Although the eldest son was intimidated by the momentum of the army below, Earl Newman had been in charge of the Newman family for many years, and he had a certain momentum bonus against his own son. He still showed a parental momentum towards Amin below.
He yelled loudly.
But A Ming, who was riding a horse, was not moved at all. A Ming, who was riding a horse, was wearing a plain black heavy armor, with a stainless steel sword hanging on his waist. Compared with the people on the city wall, who were wearing patterns.
Members of the Newman family, wearing patterned armor and holding long swords inlaid with precious stones, Amin's outfit looks extremely simple, but this outfit is a real killing weapon.
Faced with his father's scolding, A Ming did not have any intention of avoiding it. Instead, he raised his head and looked at him, and said loudly:
"I brought my troops here to have a bitter confrontation with my father. His Majesty Ren has ordered that the food stored in each castle should be transferred to the big city, and no large amounts of food can be hoarded privately."
"On the order of His Majesty Ren, come and transport the food from Fort Newman!"
"Son! That's the food of my Newman family. It's all shipped away. What will our family eat?"
As soon as he heard Amin's words, Earl Newman became very angry. This boy was obviously from the Newman family, so why did he trick his own family?
"Father, I know how much food there is in the castle. Where do we need to store so much food? And we can take it directly to Adelaide City, or directly take the food to the royal capital. Fort Newman can't resist the orc army.
The place."
If there are a bunch of small military castles with walls about ten meters high behind Longxing Pass, they may be able to store supplies in the city to resist for a while. Like Fort Newman, it is just a little stronger than a large courtyard. How can it be used as a barrier to resist the orc army?
.
"The orc army hasn't come in yet, so you're worried first!"
"When the orc army arrives, it will be too late! Besides, this is His Majesty Ren's order!"
"snort!"
"His Majesty Ren has no right to deprive nobles of their property. I will never let you, the traitor, transport this food away today. Are you going to force your way into Fort Newman?"
When Earl Newman spoke, hundreds of soldiers on Fort Newman were also ready for battle. However, compared to the soldiers below, the soldiers in the castle seemed a little nervous, although these soldiers who stayed in the castle usually had good food and drink.
, equipped with good equipment, but the training is just like that. The only person in the Newman family who can train and lead troops is A Ming. Now he is leading people below to surround the castle. He will definitely not be able to defeat A Ming below the city.
.
However, in addition to the personal guards in the castle, there is another force in Fort Newman that has become the support of Earl Newman. A bishop-level priest from the Rising Sun Cult and several of his followers. Although their number is small, but in this place
Among the nobles of this level, they are all good players. A big knight and several knights are definitely the key force that can affect the situation of the battle in such a small-scale battle.
And after all, Earl Newman is still the de facto lord of the territory. No matter how bad the Newman territory is, there are still several knights outside. As long as they persist for a period of time, these knights of Earl Newman will finally find something is wrong and they will organize their own troops to come to the rescue. Amin can't do anything.
It caught Count Newman off guard.
"Father, are those rebellious members of the Rising Sun Cult your support today?"
"The Rising Sun Cult has religion but no country, and is the least trustworthy. I am very disappointed that you cooperate with them."
Seeing Count Newman's tough attitude under the siege of the army, Amin directly revealed the identities of several people in the city. Now even Count Newman's eldest son turned around and stared at him in surprise.
Colluding with the Rising Sun Cult is a much more serious crime than disobeying the king's order. Resisting orders to transport grain is actually the norm for nobles on the Great Plains. After all, if this order is taken into consideration, it can be regarded as a broken rule on the part of the kingdom. This
It violated the private property of the nobles. Except for the Newman family, many nobles did not cooperate with this order. Even if the accounts were settled later, the law would probably not be held accountable.
But colluding with the church is not the case. Since the break between the church and the kingdom, colluding with the church has been a serious crime that can be vetoed with one vote. Any nobles who collude with the church will be exterminated directly. Even the servants at home will not be spared. They are extremely ruthless.
The Newman family were not devout believers. Earl Newman himself only cooperated covertly because of his speculative mentality. When the church came to visit him, he hid it from everyone. At this time, Amin suddenly broke it.
, Not to mention the others who were surprised, Count Newman felt a sudden change in his heart.
The kingdom might not be able to defeat the orcs, but it would be easy to deal with the Newmans' houses before the orcs come in.
Earl Newman was furious. This second son was simply unworthy of a human being. Although he didn't know where Amin got the news from, he screamed in public and simply wanted to kill his family.
Of course, Count Newman would not admit this situation and immediately responded:
"What nonsense are you talking about! How could my Newman family collude with the Rising Sun Cult!"
Seeing Count Newman's denial, Amin didn't bother. Although he got the information from the informants arranged in the castle, he really didn't have any clear evidence. However, as long as he broke through the castle and caught the opponent, he would have living evidence.
At that moment, without saying a word, he retreated directly into the formation. With a wave of his hand, the troops behind him held up their shields and pushed their carts towards Fort Newman.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
In the dark night, the defenders on Fort Newman used the firelight to fire several waves of arrows at the attacking team outside. Although these soldiers were averagely trained, as guards stationed in the Newman family's castle, they still had the basic qualities of archery.
His accuracy was pretty good. A wave of arrows came down and he still knocked down a dozen of A Ming's soldiers.
However, these casualties could not stop A Ming's elite group, especially the two centurions in the lead. Everyone was wearing heavy armor, and the arrow rain had almost no impact on them. Instead, they used their weapons from time to time during the march.
The sharp blade slapped the heavy armor on his body with a clear sound, provoking the defenders on the city.
Compared with the grand scene on the Longxingguan battlefield, the attack and defense of Fort Newman seemed much inferior. Apart from shooting arrows, the defenders on the outer wall did not prepare any sharp weapons to deal with the attackers, even burning some kerosene.
There is no preparation for basic operations.
The attacking team actually didn't have any clever tactics, but they were slightly higher than the defending team. When approaching the city wall castle, the soldiers behind the shield car began to shoot arrows densely towards the high wall to cover the attacking team.
Continuing to approach, these trained archers could easily throw arrows at a castle over three meters high as soon as they approached, causing quite a bit of chaos to the defenders who had hardly seen blood.
"Hold the door open!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The attacking team successfully approached the gate after paying an almost negligible cost. The iron gate was crumbling under the impact of the rushing car. This gate was not comparable to a serious city gate. In addition, the Newman family did not pay attention to it.
In just a few clicks, the door was knocked open.
Then, a group of heavy armored soldiers who followed the car and rushed in immediately shouted and rushed in. The whole process of breaking the door was extremely smooth. A Ming looked at him from a distance and showed a look of disdain. He really looked down on this person.
This group of people.
"kill!"
After the gate of the castle was opened, the defenders in the castle finally showed a certain degree of loyalty and were worthy of the salary Earl Newman had given them over the years. Under the leadership of a knight-level officer, they fought with the invading army in the front yard.
Got together.
"clang!"
"Chi!"
The knight guarding the castle first gathered his fighting spirit and killed a soldier wearing black heavy armor, trying to block the advance of Amin's soldiers.
However, Amin's men were superior to the defenders in the fort in terms of number and combat power. They quickly defeated the defenders and retreated steadily. Seeing that they were not far from collapse, they retreated to Earl Newman and Newman's house in the backyard.
All the relatives looked worried.
Ordinarily, Earl Newman and his eldest son are actually knight-level masters. If they join the battle, they will definitely be two good fighting forces. However, how can the two fathers and sons who rely on resources be willing to fight? Although they are wearing gorgeous armor and their hands are
Holding the knight's sword, but unwilling to take a step forward, he was forced into the backyard of the castle.
"boom!"
"kill!"
Suddenly, the defense line, which was already in a state of collapse, suddenly moved forward, and several streaks of golden and red fighting spirit suddenly lit up in the dark night. The attacking defenders were killed and injured in an instant, and the offensive stalled.
"Humph, you finally couldn't help it!"
A Ming, who had not made any move in the distance, saw several strange knights suddenly appeared in the yard. Without any surprise, he had already been aware of the existence of these people.
"kill!"
The appearance of a great knight-level master and four knight-level masters was a great encouragement to the defenders. The knight-level officers commanding the defenders were not completely mediocre people. Seeing that several of their own forces had sent reinforcements, they also
He would not let them be surrounded by ordinary soldiers, and immediately led the soldiers to rush to support them.
Everyone in the Newman family who was originally anxious was relieved when they saw this scene, but then a few people reacted and looked at Count Newman with complicated eyes. The golden-red fighting spirit of these masters who suddenly appeared was very much like the knights of the church.
They all struggled, especially when several strangers appeared one after another, and there was also a master of the knight level. This really looked like he had colluded with the church, but they did not dare to say anything at this time. Even Earl Newman's eldest son, at this time
He also looked at the battle ahead and remained silent.
"boom!"
"clang!"
"ah!"
The bishop in charge could not defeat any enemy with his long sword. The strength of the knight was completely crushing compared to these small soldiers. He could easily knock away a soldier without even using fighting spirit. With how many soldiers he had brought with him,
The knights rushed into the battle and quickly pushed back the battle line.
The toughness of A Ming's soldiers is pretty good. I don't know how A Ming trains these soldiers. They are able to overcome their fear in the face of masters of the knight level. They can still survive when their companions fall one after another.
Charge forward with your weapon in hand.
"Team three and four, enter!"
"Behead those who retreat!"
The bishop of the Rising Sun Cult led his men to disperse two groups of soldiers under Amin, and the remaining soldiers rushed forward without hesitation under the command of the officers.
It's just that the morale of most armies has its limits. If some soldiers are killed and injured by these strong men from the church, Amin's men will not be able to withstand such casualties.
Count Newman looked at the battle situation and finally relaxed his clenched fists. Although there were signs of an affair with the church, at least the current hurdle was passed. He was already thinking about how to deal with A Ming, the rebellious son. Even if
If you don't kill him, you will at least destroy his fighting spirit and keep him in captivity for the rest of his life.
However, before Count Newman could think it through, the battle situation suddenly changed dramatically. After using ordinary soldiers to kill the opponent's fighting spirit, Amin took action.
"clang!"
Amin's long sword clashed fiercely with the divine bishop's weapon, without losing a single inch. Unbeknownst to everyone, Amin had been promoted to the rank of Great Knight...
