After Becoming The Tyrant - Chapter 163

“Our scouts have found the brescians.”

In the command room, the king stood at the table spreading the map and found the spot where the scouts found Blaise’s army.

“They’re a day away from us.”

This time, the command post of the army was set up in a small mill near the river, which happened to be at the intersection of the two main roads. At the same time, it was also the center of the forces of the three districts of Legrand. If the king had not refused, the devil would have wanted to turn this humble mill into a splendid Little Palace – he could.

“To our east, the count of Puan’s army is likely to be the first to confront them.”

The officers participating in the meeting discussed.

In the coming war, the Knights of Legrand were replaced with a combat role. Unlike the countries across the abyss Strait, they are used to being placed in the front of the army to undertake the main charge of war. The battle formations that have been laid out are mainly defensive. The king ordered most of his armours to dismount, combined with spear infantry, to form a tight square to resist the charging of the Blaise cavalry, and to protect the archers who extended their horns on the flanks. The rest of the knights who were selected were organized into a right-wing army.

“Their army is divided into three groups.” The king said, “the Duke of West, the count of Rudolph, and Prince mallorin each lead one.”

“I fought Prince mallorin at the battle of Bowen.” An officer named “Noel” said, “he won’t be willing to let his own soldiers suffer too much. If it is the army under his command, it should strive for reserve service, or go up the stream to avoid the frontal battlefield. ”

“Great, our Musketeers will teach him a lesson that will never be forgotten.”

Hearing this, the king gave a smile.

In the battle command post, where the atmosphere was serious, there was a low laugh.

The commanders who participated in the discussion looked at each other and showed a kind smile.

This time, the king did not make up the teams who had made great contributions in ambushing the Knights of eternity in the front of the battlefield. They were placed in the rear, closer to the angle between a forest in Duro and the sloping highlands. In the early stage, the hand gun has limited power in the frontal battlefield, but in the narrow terrain, combined with “blood rose” can play a better role in interception and deterrence.

If the prince mallorin, who regarded his cavalry as his heart and soul, really went up the stream and wanted to attack Duro with the glue of the front battlefield. Then, he was afraid that he would faint under the muzzle of “blood rose” and Musketeers.

In narrow terrain, cannons are much more lethal to Knights than longbowmen. The order of the eternal has proved that with their flesh and blood.

“Rudolph’s strength is not as good as West, should be led by west to launch a positive charge.” Moore is also in the battle command post.

He also fought against the Blaise expedition.

In fact, despite the size of Blaise’s army, it was not too daunting for the army of Legrand. The war between Legrand and Blaise lasted for hundreds of years, and the army of Legrand was too familiar with Blaise.

“But the prestige of the Duke of West, though sufficient to enable him to assume the role of commander, is not sufficient to prevent him from doing so. I think for him, how to make the order between the front and back teams consistent is a very troublesome problem A veteran, sir Rand, said with a bit of Legrand sarcasm, “even if he has a plan that is not so bad and wants to carry it out, he can only expect their God’s blessing.”

When the king heard the words, he suddenly asked a question: “if I remember correctly, our old” friends “seem to love flaunting their chivalry?”

“Yes, your majesty.”

The king, who got the affirmative answer, smiles. He straightens up and says in a slightly light voice, “well, let’s teach them a lesson – the old formation needs to be eliminated.”

Then the king looked at count Puan, the commander of the right wing of the army.

Count Puan, who suddenly got the king’s attention, felt something was wrong. Sure enough, the next moment, the king spoke kindly.

“I think you should be able to lead a light cavalry around to the left side of brachy’s rear and launch an attack? Mr. count

“Yes Yes, but… ”

Count Puan suddenly began to kowtow.

“Of course, I don’t want you to die with the Knights.” The king said, “the night is a good time to launch an attack. As hosts, we should let our guests from afar feel our enthusiasm. When their camp is busy, you can retreat.”

“Yes But I’m afraid it’s not in line with chivalry. Your majesty. ”

Poor count Puan was able to make it clear, but still hesitated. He is an experienced veteran, but also a somewhat conservative old-fashioned knight. It’s not chivalrous to launch a night attack around the enemy’s side. [1]”If they really follow the spirit of chivalry, then they should not be in Legrand at the moment.” The king replied, “if we have a clever way to avoid the loss of our precious soldiers’ lives, why refuse?”

“Do as I say, sir.”

He can’t refuse.

……………………

It was getting dark as the army approached Duro. West, who led the former team, ordered the army to stop advancing and camp on the spot.

“I’ll bet there’s no dumber way to March than we do.”

There was a distance between the front and the back, and in the command account of the back, count Rudolph complained with his adjutant.

Rudolph was also an old aristocrat of Blaise. The reason why he took part in the holy army movement was similar to that of West. But there have been some unpleasant frictions between the Rudolph family and the West family since ancient times. In this attack on Legrand, Rudolph was forced to agree with West’s leadership, but it was obviously not a simple thing to convince him.

“No way, who let those people in his account? My Lord

The adjutant crossed his chest.

Rudolph’s face became more ugly. He gritted his teeth and cursed bitterly: “that traitor Does he really think everyone is blind? ”

All of a sudden, the tent was quiet, and no one answered.

As a matter of fact, everyone knows that they all have certain guesses about the identities of those people. And it’s this speculation, not to mention West, that even they can’t say “no”.

“My Lord, there is one thing I don’t know if I should tell you.”

The adjutant watched Rudolph’s face.

“He said

“It’s like this…” The adjutant carefully organized the wording, “I heard a rumor, yes, it’s just a rumor. I can’t be sure whether it’s true or not.”

“When did you become so hesitant?” Rudolph frowned.

“It is said that his majesty Ferri III is not dead.” As soon as the adjutant gritted his teeth, he said directly, “I was thinking, if Ferri III is really not dead, is it a risk for us to fully participate in the holy army movement? I mean, should we send someone to contact the relevant information? You can’t just put an egg in a bamboo basket. You should prepare everything with both hands, my Lord. ”

“Is Ferri III alive?” Rudolph seemed to be scalded by the news and nearly jumped up from the ground. His face was not clear. “But for Ferri, we are traitors, too.”

He means before the establishment of the holy Empire, the Blaise civil war, Prince Charles’s conquest of Ferri III. Ferry III did not succeed in calming down like his old rival pullan, but was forced to lead his troops to the north. In that station, most of the Blaise nobles went to Prince Charles, who had the support of the Holy See.

Rudolph is no exception.

But no one thought at that time that the ambition of the Holy See and the appetite of theolde were bigger and more terrible than they imagined.

However, when we wake up, it’s too late.

“Ferri III is not dead…”

Rudolph stood up and subconsciously thought about the impact of this rumor on the current situation if it was true.

“Where did you get the news?”

He made more than ten turns in the tent and turned to look at his adjutant.

“From…”

The adjutant was about to speak when the noise outside the tent interrupted him.

“Enemy attack!! Enemy attack

A shrill sound came from outside the tent, followed by noisy footsteps.

“Damn it

Rudolph raised the tent and couldn’t help yelling.

“That son of a bitch, West, who’s been touched in the back, is still deaf?”

In the dark, someone was attacking their camp. The other side didn’t know when to bypass the West army in front of them and launched a night attack on them.

Rockets whirring along the wind from the night sky, one by one fell into the camp, the tent soon burned up, in the light of the fire, the attacker’s figure appeared – is a light cavalry coming and going like the wind.

“You bastards! Rogue

An arrow flew past Rudolph’s tent, whistling and swearing.

The whole camp was in chaos. Some soldiers lost their lives in their sleep. After more people got up in a hurry, the enemy had disappeared, but they were still pulling out their swords and shouting.

Rudolph wanted to organize the soldiers to hunt down, but the camp was in a mess, let alone hunt down. It took a lot of effort to stop these muddleheaded ghosts from killing each other.
