Chapter 121: First strike first?
"The new nobleman, isn't that the old lion? Nor the Duke of Alama?" The old king Gresham III had a look of hope.
"The person who came is likely to be Leo Archimonde, the newly-appointed Marquis of the Fierce Lion Kingdom, whose territory is in the southeast of the Fierce Lion Kingdom, west of the Great Forest, and is the same size as the other Fierce Lion Kingdoms. Compared with the nobles, the territory is the closest to us." The minister in charge of intelligence said in a deep voice, "Before he was the baron of the Lion Kingdom, and later he made many contributions in the capital, and was finally defeated by Ulli of the Lion Kingdom. King Ke was promoted to marquis and established a city called Lanxia City.
As for other more detailed information, because the marquis was newly appointed, we don't know much. "
The folk customs of the Principality of Isha are very different from those of the Kingdom of Fierce Lion Realm, so it is not easy to send some meticulous works to the kingdom.
"Baron!" However, in the palace, many big figures from the Principality of Isha should be in a frenzy at this time, and many of them even have happy faces. If it is really the big nobles of the fierce lion realm to attack, they will really There will be some trouble.
For example, the Duke of Alama, the Grand Duke family, if they really move a little bit, their Isha Principality will be hurt, but it means that an original baron is attacking them?
Is this the blessing of the forest goddess?
"Haha, is that old lion crazy?" Some of the officers who had been submissive before were smiling and blooming at this time, "If Duke Alama came in person, I really thought about how...cough...how to talk to him. Fight to the death.
I didn't expect it to be such a kid, Baron of the Lion Realm, haha, if he really dares to attack the duchy, I, Hulav, will definitely let him know what the goddess is watching! "
"That's right, hahaha, Baron on the ground, is there no one in the nobles of the Lion Realm Kingdom? A small baron dares to try to crusade my Duchy of Ixia, and the conceit is not so conceited." Another Yi Xia The minister of the Principality of Xia said with a smile.
"Baron haha, just a baron, our principality has been bullied by the Lion Kingdom Kingdom for so long, this time we must fight a turnaround!" The king looked very excited, and his face seemed to be a lot ruddy, "Hulav , Starting today, the Principality's First Army, Second Army, National Capital City Guard and Holy Tree Warriors!
This battle, you must win, our two legions and the Holy Tree Warriors, a newly appointed marquis, I will let him know what he can't afford! "
Everyone understands Gresham III's excitement. After all, the Principality of Isha is too small compared to the Kingdom of the Lion Realm. After the establishment of the Kingdom of the Lion Realm, it is natural that there will be frictions adjacent to the Duchy of Isha.
However, the Ixia tribe is sparsely populated, and even if they are fighting bravely, facing the army of the Lion Kingdom, it is still difficult to resist, not to mention that the nobles of the Lion Kingdom are too strong!
Which time did the Principality not end bleakly in the face of the fierce lion kingdom's war?
Fortunately, this time, the only arrangement is to completely rewrite history. Although there are less than 1,000 people in the Principality's First Army and the Principality's Second Army, it is enough! Not to mention their ace Sacred Tree Warriors!
Every holy tree warrior is a powerful warrior who is favored by the goddess, even if it is not much worse than those nobles in the fierce lion realm!
For a time, after confirming a lot of news in the originally tense palace, everyone was looking forward to this war more and more, and wanted to rely on this war to wash away the kingdom's many years of defeats.
……
"Lord Marquis, more than 80 soldiers led by Baron Carney have approached Lanxia City," Rebella reported to Leo.
"It came so quickly?" Leo was a little surprised. Although he was the great noble who was in charge of targeting Isha Kingdom this time, he had the power to recruit nearby nobles to participate in the war, but he also issued the summoning order symbolically.
He didn't expect how many nobles would respond to this summoning order, and he didn't care about it. Although the gigantic Isha Duchy was seen by outsiders as a grand duchy, in his eyes, it seemed like an unstoppable one. Treasure poor man.
He was envious of the wealth of the Duchy of Isha, so the summoning order can be said to be quite loose, and there was no mandatory participation of the nobles at all. He originally thought that there were very few responders, but he never thought that it had been so long, and his own army had not yet been prepared. There are already nobles leading people here?
"It may be that you are in the capital, and your reputation is too great," Rebella said with a wry smile, "This Baron Carney is worried about being established by you."
……
Leo was speechless for a while, don't say it, it's really possible. Now his deeds in the capital are gradually spreading, and he is full of prestige in the capital, not to mention in these small places. home and will be here forever.
This is a real evil dragon, no wonder those nobles have such an attitude, it doesn't seem strange.
"Okay, build a barracks for these nobles who may come, and don't discount the treatment," Leo said distressedly. Although he despised these nobles' soldiers, this was also an attitude. As a solitary minister in the Lion Kingdom Kingdom, fame and prestige are still very important.
Just like that, when he was about to set off for the expedition, a total of six barons and two viscounts came, and a total of more than 600 soldiers temporarily joined his camp. Although watching the soldiers of these nobles were crowded, the discipline was a bit poor. , but Leo won't give up completely.
If you really want to go to the battlefield, you can still scare people, and you can help share some of the pressure, but you must be sure to separate from your own team, otherwise it will only drag down the overall combat power!
"Assemble!" As the army of the marquis was assembled, a number of soldiers holding military swords and wearing various armors quickly assembled. The soldiers of the marquis were all full of energy, their eyes were fierce, and their bodies were filled with terrifying aura. !
"It's terrifying, so many high-ranking soldiers!" a nobleman muttered.
"Isn't it that this person who has just been promoted is not actually strong? How can it be so scary?" There were also nobles who seemed very surprised. They could never have imagined that today's Leo, the former baron, has such a strong strength.
Looking at Leo's undisguised display of strength, many nobles were jealous and envious, and even more surprised in their hearts. They were shocked to find that in Leo's army, even the seventh-rank lion There are a lot of armed infantry in the border!
This is already the absolute top civilian army. How long has it been since Leo's Marquis was promoted, and there are already so many elite soldiers? It's unbelievable!
And that team was still in the fourth rank, and the noble nobles of the fierce lion realm were mixed in it, which made many nobles even more intensely envious.
The nobles of the fierce lion realm! The minor nobles hardly called on them much. After all, anyone with noble bloodline could get a pretty good deal in the royal capital or under the hands of the big nobles. The strength of the nobles' rank is still much stronger than that of the commoners.
It is precisely because of this that it is more difficult for the minor nobles to recruit noble youths, and correspondingly, countless noble nobles from poor family backgrounds have also gathered under the command of the great nobles, rapidly improving their strength, hoping to pick up the family again one day. Brilliant!
For example, Leo, since the news of his promotion as a marquis spread, the number of young people with noble blood who came to defect has increased significantly, and his strength has been rapidly enriched. Of course, most of these young people were established by their ancestors. Some merits can only be called a noble.
The family is already quite degraded, and it is not even comparable to some businessmen, but the nobles are nobles, and the nobleness comes from blood, and being able to cultivate nobles is their greatest confidence!
"Sir, there are a large number of people from the kingdom coming from the west. It seems that there are five or six hundred people." At this time, Rebella hurried to Leo's side to report, "They claim to be the king's army and are ordered by the king. to obey your orders."
"Let them come directly, don't stop them," Leo was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Just like that, the rumbling sound and the sound of the troop of horses running made the many nobles slightly discolored. This is Lanxia City, and Marquis Leo's army has already assembled here. Why does it suddenly look like a large army? ?
Could it be that the Principality of Ixia got the news and wanted to strike first?
