Chapter 559
A week later, Zhang Qiang received news that Earl Harlengos was destroying Vida Village.

As the territory of King Halaus, Vida Village, Zhang Qiang had the responsibility to defend it, and quickly rushed towards Vida Village with the army that had been training for a week.

When approaching Vida Village, he saw Earl Glenward and Earl Dillinard stationed at the intersection.

The two people were summoned by special envoys sent by Zhang Qiang. It depends on whether they obey the order. If they don't listen, it's nothing. Generally, those who respond to the marshal's call are lords who have a good relationship with the marshal himself or the king, or those who have an excessive sense of honor good man lord.

At this time, the combined size of the army of the two men reached more than 3000 people, which made Zhang Qiang feel relieved. He was not a bare-handed commander, and he was facing the attack of an enemy that sounded powerful.

"Your Excellency Marshal, we have many brave soldiers who are willing to fight to defend His Majesty's throne!" Earl Glenward rode to Zhang Qiang and said loudly to Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang said with satisfaction: "Well, very good, Earl Glenward, you can come to participate in the expedition, which is the best respect for me and the best loyalty to the king. I will not force you to follow for a long time. For you, if you are willing to follow me, I will be very grateful to you. If you can continue to support me in the next battle, I will ask His Majesty the king to reward your family with more fiefs and spoils after the war. "

Earl Glenward said solemnly: "Thank you Marshal, we will carry out your orders and follow you until the enemy is defeated."

Earl Dilinard interrupted and said, "Don't talk so much nonsense, Your Excellency Marshal, give an order, we need to use fists and weapons to defeat the enemy."

Zhang Qiang was very satisfied with this man's words, and said with a smile: "In this case, Earl Dilinard, take your army to scout Vida Village, Nimega Village and Harlengosberg. I want to know that the enemy is here. Regarding the distribution of troops in the region, and the latest situation on the battlefield, I hope you can send me a battle report at dusk, and I will decide where to march based on your information, and I will wait for your report at the same place."

Earl Dilinard said: "Good Marshal, just wait, I will find out everything about the enemy and report to you as soon as possible!"

After speaking, he ran back to his army and set off towards Vida Village with his army.

An hour later, Zhang Qiang received the first battle report, and a messenger of Earl Dilinard said to Zhang Qiang: "The commander of the army of the Swadia Empire is Earl Crags, and the one who attacked Vida Village was Ra Count Fazi, according to investigations, the enemy's strength is about 500 to [-] people, and the count is leading his army to march towards Nimega Village."

Zhang Qiang said to Earl Glenward beside him, "Let's go to Vida Village and wait for the next report."

The scenery on the plains in the hinterland of the Kingdom of Swadia is very good, but the army defending the king, who was on their way, didn’t care to appreciate it. They passed by in a hurry and saw the village of Vida curling up in the distance. Of course, it couldn’t be noon at this time. The villagers of Da village were cooking, and the black smoke rising from the looting was extinguished after the fire that the enemy set fire to the village was extinguished.

The hasty marching team stretched out for a long time, continuously entered a small forest from a plain, and then passed through a small forest. After that, there was another section of hilly terrain. After climbing over the hills, there was another lush palm forest. It is a slope, a gentle slope with a height of no more than 80 meters. All kinds of thorns and weeds seriously hinder the army's marching speed.

But Zhang Qiang has no choice. He will not walk to Nimega Village from the stepped road. Now he is fighting on the enemy's inner line. In the hinterland of the former Kingdom of Swadia, the queen of King Halaus The garden, the fertile territory of the Harengos family, is now the hinterland of the enemy that Zhang Qiang needs to face with a hundred times more energy.

The scout cavalry continued to report the scouting news to him quickly. The three armies with nearly [-] troops carefully approached the enemy's lair.

It would be great if this was a modern terrain. Even in the barren mountains and grasslands, there are many paths, and they are very spacious paths that can pass through the baggage he led, but this is an undeveloped wild land in the Middle Ages. A maximum of 4 to [-] people, and a minimum of dozens of people can be called a lord's territory. It is unrealistic for such a small number of people to flatten every inch of land on thousands of kilometers of land, at least to be able to leave.

Even in Zhang Qiang's territory, through management, collecting refugees, refugees, attracting adventurers, businessmen, gathering population, and then transporting the population through the real world, mainly players and traversers in the real world, the population has reached 300 million. It can be said that it is a behemoth among the lords of the game world, and it pays special attention to road repairs and communication. It is impossible to pass the marching queue everywhere in the territory of hundreds of kilometers.

The Kingdom of Swadia is more than 2000 kilometers long and 1000 kilometers wide. The NPC lords and troops who can only walk on human and horse legs are miserable. A war will last for at least three months. It is the sum of the time they need to travel the distance from one side of the country to the other side of the country.

The Earl of Glenward and Zhang Qiang walked beside the ranks of the Chinese army, looking at the army crawling on the gentle slope like a snake, "Have you sent scout cavalry to the various territories of the kingdom?"

Zhang Qiang held the whip in his hand and waved it vigorously, "It has been sent out a long time ago, but I think no one will take the initiative to report except for the two of you. The recent prestige of King Harlaus is no longer enough to command the lords." .”

Earl Glenward said: "It's not necessarily true. Before the appearance of Lady Isona, many people were still loyal. As long as we can defeat the enemy quickly, many lords will come to join us."

A scout cavalry climbed up from the bottom of the slope on one side with difficulty, "Your Excellency, Earl Dilinard reported that there was no trace of the enemy in Nimega Village except for the enemy's people. Your Excellency is leading The troops are heading towards Harlan Kosberg, and will continue to scout the movement of the enemy in the direction of Harlan Kosberg."

Zhang Qiang waved off Earl Dilinard's messenger, and said to Earl Glenward: "The closer I get to the enemy's castle territory, the more worried I am. You lead your troops to scout Harlangosberg from another direction. , look at the movement of the Rhodoks along the river bank. We are in the other direction of Harlengosberg, where the bridge leading to Kurmarburg and Marasburg converges. Tell Dilling what I said Lord Nader."

Earl Glenward pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and said to Zhang Qiang: "Yes, Marshal, I will check the enemy's movement and deployment of troops from another direction, and at the same time be alert to the movement of the Rhodok Kingdom."

After speaking, he left Zhang Qiang's army with his own army, and turned to speed up towards Harlen Kosberg.
