Chapter 122: tangled
But soon, the uniform red armor came into view. Looking at the familiar clothes, many nobles couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This seemed to be the kingdom's army!
With so many armies, could it be that there is a legion?
At this time, an officer on a horse, accompanied by several cavalrymen, came to this place, and many soldiers of the marquis had naturally received orders to let them come.
"Urila, the commander of the Fourth Legion of the Kingdom, has been ordered by His Majesty the King to lead the Fourth Legion to serve the Marquis and conquer the Principality of Isha!" A tall knight wearing a coat of arms and chain armor dismounted from his horse and bowed his body. Beating his chest, he shouted respectfully to Leo.
The Fourth Legion of the Kingdom!
Numerous nobles were secretly shocked, no wonder this newly promoted Marquis dared to go to conquer the Principality of Ixia with such confidence, so he still has such a trump card!
The fourth legion, even if it was not as elite as the kingdom's first legion, was more than enough for the remote Isha Principality, not to mention the elite soldiers of the marquis and the manpower of their lords.
Leo also understood something in his heart. No wonder the king dared him to conquer the Duchy of Ixia. It turns out that the back-up is here. Yes, although he has the confidence to conquer the Duchy of Ixia by himself, how can the king know all this? ?
In the king's impression, he is a marquis who has just been promoted and is not very strong. No matter how much he accumulates his troops, and then gathers nearby lords, facing the Duchy of Isha, he still lacks strength.
Therefore, the king also specially sent the fourth legion of the kingdom to assist. Of course, this is obviously not how much King Ulric loves him, but for the reputation of the kingdom, not to mention that he still maintains a relationship with King Ulric With a good relationship, even if there is a deadlock, there is still some assistance that should be given.
After all, this is a war involving the reputation of the kingdom. If it is really lost to the Principality of Isha, even if it is a marquis of the kingdom, it will really affect the reputation of the kingdom too much.
"Very good, Lord Urila, I hope that in the war against the Principality of Isha, I can see the bravery of the Kingdom Legion!" Leo stepped forward and said loudly.
"It will definitely not disappoint your expectations!" Urila replied.
There were nearly 2,000 people in the huge team, and a group of terrifying soldiers of the kingdom were heading towards the huge forest.
"Are you sure that this road will not meet the Noldo patrol?" Leo did not forget to interject with Freya during the march. This road was selected by Freya to ensure that it would not encounter the rumored The Noldor Patrol.
After all, the huge Dongling Great Forest and the Noldor patrols that haunt from time to time are the truly terrifying existences. Those Noldor elves regard the forest as their territory, and humans who enter it without authorization will inevitably suffer sharp attacks. Bow and Arrow Sanctions.
This is also one of the reasons why the Duchy of Isha can develop safely. They are protected by the forest goddess, and the Noldor will not attack them at will.
But this time they entered like this, which really made Leo worried. Those rumored Noldor elves, their terrifying sharp arrows are really enough to penetrate everything. The thin armor on the soldiers of the Lion Kingdom Kingdom is fundamental Not enough to resist their sharp arrows.
What's even more terrifying is that the Noldor elves come and go like the wind, maybe a wave of arrows hits, knocking down dozens of people, and then burrowing into the jungle again, it is difficult to chase.
"Don't worry, the Noldor patrol will not come to such a remote place, even the ordinary Noldor ranger would not want to visit these places," Freya said confidently, "Just follow the direction I said. , absolutely guaranteed not to run into the Noldor Patrol."
"Then you know so well, why couldn't the previous kingdom or the previous Pande be able to avoid it when they conquered the Duchy of Isha? For their power, it's not difficult to find a friendly Noldor to lead the way, right?" Li Ao was also puzzled at this time.
"What was the scale back then, so many soldiers entered the big forest, let alone the patrol team encountered, I am afraid that the Twilight Castle will personally send a large army to block it, no matter how much you detour, it is useless, but you are on such a scale, fundamentally It is impossible to disturb the senior management of Noldo, just rest assured." Freya said confidently.
"That's it," Leo nodded, as if he understood something.
"Oh my God, is this Earl Leo crazy? With such a fast marching speed, our soldiers will collapse when they arrive at the territory of the Duchy of Isha!" At this time, some nobles said helplessly, and their soldiers were already complaining. .
"Isn't he worried about accidents? If he encounters an enemy, it will really be a big trouble." Some nobles also said in surprise.
"No, look at the soldiers of the marquis, they are far less tired than we think, and they don't seem to have the feeling of how to exert their strength at all," Baron Carney noticed something and said to the crowd.
Sure enough!
Many soldiers of the marquis, not only the ranks are refined, but at such a marching speed, everyone maintains a well-proportioned breathing, and there is not much difficulty at all. Seeing this scene, even the commander of the fourth legion of the kingdom Wu Wu The lira also changed color.
The soldiers of the Fourth Legion now feel that they are about to be unable to bear it. These soldiers of the marquis are so terrifying!
Of course, because of the face of the regular legion of the kingdom, it is impossible for Commander Ullila to find Marquis Leo and beg to slow down the marching speed. This is a big loss of face! Although the status of the great nobles is far higher than that of his commander, these regular legions have always looked down on the local legions.
In their eyes, the local legions of the nobles were recruited on a temporary basis, with weak strength, poor discipline, and poor equipment. Only the armies of the three major dukes would give them a little attention.
But I never imagined that, just by marching in a hurry, this Marquis Leo's army is actually stronger than their Fourth Army? how can that be?
"In front of it is Nila City. This is the western heavy city of the Principality of Isha. There are 200 people stationed there all year round. Now that I know our news, I am afraid that there will be reinforcements," Leo said while frowning and pointing at the map.
"Indeed, Nila City is built on a mountain, and the terrain is dangerous. If there are enough troops stationed in it, we will be really in trouble." Freya also said with a slight frown.
"Is there a way to spare this city of Nila?" Leo asked curiously.
"Of course, follow the path in the south and go straight. From this north, you can directly enter the hinterland of the Principality of Isha. Of course, the premise is that you can defeat the two fortresses of the Principality of Isha - He Ying Fort and White Elk Fort." Freya frowned and said, "But behind these two fortresses is Taya City, the capital of the Principality of Isha."
National Capital!
Hearing what Freya said, Leo and the high-level leaders of the marquis naturally showed joy on their faces The country means the core of the Duchy of Isha, and if they can win that, everything will be stable, but The two large fortresses did not seem to be so easy to conquer.
"What do you think?" Leo frowned. He was also a little hesitant. Should he rush all the way to Nila City, or as Freya said, go south and then north, passing two fortresses and head towards the capital?
The former needs to face the difficult terrain of Nila City, but the latter takes time, and it is a test for the endurance of the soldiers, but listening to Freya, the two fortresses are obviously not as difficult as Nila City. attack.
"I think it's better to fight Nila City directly. Even if it has reinforcements, we still have an absolute advantage!" Captain Kari said directly, "There's no need to worry about how terrible the city is!"
"But Nila City, which has gathered reinforcements from the Principality of Isha, and the dangerous terrain, is definitely not that easy to win. It's been a while since we marched here. They just made a lot of arrangements. I suggest avoiding it. All of this, go directly to the two fortresses, so that you can avoid all their countermeasures, and we will not show up in the two fortresses, and the reinforcements of the Principality of Isha will gather in Nila City.
When we really hit those two fortresses, it would be too late for them to come back to help, so it could take a lot of advantage. Rebela frowned and said, "Of course, the question is whether the soldiers of the nobles and the soldiers of the Fourth Legion can persevere and follow us to the two fortresses. "
Of course, only the people from the marquis are negotiated here. After all, this operation is led by the marquis. Others must obey Leo's orders, and Leo naturally doesn't need to consult with them.
Ok?
Leo heard what Rebela said, but his eyes lit up, as if he realized something.
