King’s Kingdom - Chapter 211
“The King’s Kingdom (
Theodosius had finished wearing his clothes at this time, Vico brought his iron horse, and more than 1,200 heavily armed cavalry assembled in front of Ikopixi’s main gate.
“What is King Lanyin going to do?” King Godolin had only appeared on the city wall until now, and the dwarf king was not alerted by the critical situation yesterday.
“He’s going to take cavalry to attack the monsters!” Mutariyaan said with a livid face.
The ruthless remarks of Theodosius just now made him feel disgraced, but also greatly damaged his self-esteem.
“Ah? How many people does he have, so he dares to attack so many monsters outside?” King Godolin’s face was a little red, and his complexion didn’t look very good. When he got close, he could smell a faint smell of wine. .
Apparently, the reason the king of dwarves was not disturbed by the enemy’s siege all night was alcoholism.
“You haven’t paid attention to the battle here all night, so it’s naturally difficult to understand the thoughts of King Lanyin!” Although Mutariyaan did not agree with Theodosius’ actions, he was also full of King Godolin’s actions. Disappointment and anger.
As a monarch, the king of the northern dwarves, he bears a very heavy responsibility, but at such an important moment, he is still drinking heavily, even unconscious, is this really what a monarch should do?
“Oh…” King Godolin also seemed to realize that what he did was inappropriate, he touched the back of his head and burped, saying, “I didn’t expect the enemy to launch a large-scale attack yesterday. I was also thinking of relieving my nervousness, but I was also worried…”
“So I got myself drunk and left all the responsibilities to me and King Lanyin. Is this what you call worry? Entrusting the life and death of your own people in the hands of others?” Muta Riyaan was naturally unhappy when he was reprimanded by Theodosius, and now he was throwing all his anger on King Godolin.
The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. King Godolin just patted his belly for this sarcasm and satire, smiled and passed by, and did not take it seriously.
Instead, he followed his entourage, frowning when he heard Mutaryyan’s words, his words caused the dwarves to think.
“Quack quack…”
Through the winch, the city gate of the main gate was opened, and a cold wind was blowing along the city gate hole, driving the feathers on the knights’ heads.
Theodosius buckled on a luxurious crown-covered helmet, with a red feather forty centimeters long and two blue feathers thirty centimeters at the very top of the helmet.
Feathers are also an ornament and a symbol of status. The longest red feather represents the red dragon pattern on the coat of arms of the Lanyin royal family, and the two shorter ones represent the background color of the coat of arms.
The helmet with only two holes left for combat is very heavy, but it does not look cumbersome on Theodosius, but it feels very lean.
Taking the five-meter-long lance doped with a small amount of pure gold from Vico, Theodosius shouted, and the cavalry team formed a column and jogged away from the city.
Theodosius is not worried that these monsters will run away, so it will take at least a day for the huge number to be evacuated, and it is estimated that it will take several hours to convey the order to retreat.
It took about five minutes for more than 1,200 cavalrymen to finally pass through the city gate and come to the outside of Ikopixi.
Theodosius led the cavalry to stay still for a while. He just wanted to order the steppe hussars to investigate the enemy’s current deployment and where the main force was, but then he thought about it again, thinking that this would reveal that he had left the city. The fact is that there is an opportunity to go for a surprise attack that is prepared and unprepared.
After thinking about it, Theodosius still decided not to send hussars for reconnaissance. Anyway, the cavalry’s mobility is high enough, and if it can’t be done, it can be withdrawn into the city. The risk should not be that high, and if the strategic goal is achieved, then There will be huge gains.
In fact, in all fairness, if just killing monsters and the like doesn’t bring him much direct benefits, maybe he can have some prestige? Can you delay the time when the monsters attack Ikopixi again?
These are not huge benefits, but reducing the number of monsters is the best he can do. He has lived in this world for more than two years, and he has already started a family and is fully integrated here. Occupied by monsters, it is undoubtedly a disaster.
Theodosius did not want this kind of disaster to happen, so he made this decision.
Of course, man is a complex creature, and everything is not just black and white. In addition to this consideration, he also wants to kill enough monsters in battle and acquire the physical characteristics of gods. .
In addition, if he gets enough prestige, he can also increase the number of members of the Ironclad Paladins by consuming prestige points. These benefits add up to make him make up his mind.
With the cavalry troops advancing slowly, Theodosius tightened his nerves. He knew that he and his team were now in a dangerous environment. If they were taken lightly, it was very likely to lead to the failure of the operation, or even a large number of accidents. Loss.
In order to save the horse’s physical strength, it took almost half an hour to advance the distance of about two kilometers, UU reading www.uukanshu. Critidos stood on the city wall and watched the slowly advancing cavalry, feeling a little worried in his heart.
She did not doubt Theodosius’ combat effectiveness and commanding ability, nor did she doubt the adeptness of the cavalry units of the Rhine Kingdom, she just felt that this kind of military operation without double insurance was really not safe enough.
Soon, Critidos asked all his entourage to call over the chief officers of each wing of the Central Military Region.
“What’s your majesty’s order?”
The Central Military Region, as the largest military region in the Rhine Kingdom, has more people in each wing than the other military regions, with four hundred people up and down. The entire military region has 12 commanders.
The attitude of these co-captains towards Critidos is also very respectful. In the Dragon Continent, the queen is the most honorable person other than the king, not only in terms of status, but also in terms of power.
In the king’s absence, the queen has the right to mobilize the army and give orders to the army. Unless the king deprives the queen of the right to order the army, these people must obey.
“I ask you to bring your own troops to the main gate of the city to stand by, ready to go out of the city to fight the enemy at any time!” Critidos said expressionlessly.
“But… what about this city wall? No one will defend us when we leave…”
The captains of the regiment were a little hesitant. Although the queen was the second most authoritative person after the king, after all, Critidos’ influence was not exerted on the army. Except for the steppe hussars, no one would take her. The command is to be executed as a decree.
“Obey the order, someone will take over your defense. I order in the name of the queen, and I don’t want to hear any objection!” Critidos’ height and the name of martial arts in the past effectively deterred these captains. A group of people nodded hastily to show their willingness to obey the order.
