Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 370
"Third Legion, stand up for me!"

Shalaqi held the sword and stood at the forefront of the army. Even in the face of countless spears, she didn't have the slightest fear. She descended on the battlefield like a Valkyrie, and she was different from ordinary silly girls. She was so heroic. Men are ashamed of themselves.

At this time, she was leading her people to block the gap in the wooden city wall blasted by the ballista, and there were at least a thousand people waiting to pour in through this gap outside the city wall, but the furious Sharaki In front of the rain of arrows all over the sky, they were beaten and retreated.

"Really, she was made the commander of the Destiny Legion just to deceive others, but I didn't expect her to be so serious!" Stannis, who was watching the battle at the back, didn't expect Sharaki to be so desperate. Robert, who watched the theater with two legs, was in stark contrast.

"Korodov, how many times is this the first time?" Stannis asked the knight commander next to him. At this time, they were resisting the attack of the coalition forces on the impact plain of the Sancha River on the border of the Hillier family.

"This is the fourth time today!" The knight commander replied conscientiously, as long as a war breaks out, nothing can take away the knight commander's determination to fight.

"In addition to the previous two days, this army has attacked this temporary fort no less than ten times, aren't they tired?" Stannis scratched his head, although they only took less than a day to enter this previously built fort, There are also many defensive facilities that are ungarrisoned, but because of the favorable terrain, the enemy's attacks are always in vain.

Three days after attending the bloody wedding, Stannis received a frontier warning that it was Hillier's territory that was on fire, but it wasn't Garcia's troops that Stannis had expected, but the Southern Guardians. A southern coalition army led by the Necker family.

But even idiots knew that they organized an army to attack Stannis and the others at the behest of the Garcia family. It seemed that the Garcia family was still afraid of directly attacking their lords, so they asked other lords to take the lead.

The reason why the Snake family sent troops this time was not only because Hillier forcibly took Sophia away, but also another reason that made people laugh and cry.

That is, Stannis did not buy or rent a donkey to attend the New Year celebration. In the eyes of the devout Tanis, it was a great disrespect to the king of the gods, Gerson, so the coalition forces sent out troops for this reason.

Stannis said that these guys are so idle that they don't even bother to make up a good reason to start a war.But whether he wants to or not, 5000 enemies will appear at his door when he wakes up, and if he doesn't go out to fight, it will be more than just kicking the door and robbing.

Because the second legion 'Watcher' is still cleaning up the remaining Chaos people and goblins on the opposite side of the river, Stannis can only lead the first legion 'Thunder' and the newly established third legion 'Destiny' to come to support, because The influx of a large number of refugees during this period allowed Qi Weini's army to carry out a new round of expansion. The Thunder Legion already had three infantry regiments and a cavalry squadron with a total of 1500 people, and the Watchers and Destiny also reached 1000 people.

In addition to the 2500 people that Qiweini always prepared, Hillier was aided by war horses from the Hoss family. It seems that they are planning to bet on both sides. After all, the Duke did not personally take action, which shows that the battlefield war has not risen to the level of subjugation and extinction. to a degree.

Earl Howth thought so, and Stannis thought so too at first, but when he learned that reinforcements from other parts of the Principality were continuously joining the coalition forces that guarded Snake in the south, he found that the situation had become more and more serious. serious.

In the past, wars of this level could only be called conflicts, and they were often a supplementary means of negotiation. Both parties who sent troops would not be ruthless. Even if you are unfortunately captured, you will eat and drink well and wait for the captured party to send a ransom to return. Compared with the hard-working peasant soldiers, the lords with status can really regard this kind of conflict as a conflict. War Games.

But this time is obviously different. As the leader of the coalition forces, the Snake family did not abide by the rules of war at all. In addition to undeclared war, they sent the letter of war one day after the war broke out, and launched a fierce attack if they disagreed. Fortunately, Stannis It had long been thought that Duke Garcia would have retaliation, so he built this camp on the west bank of the Sancha River in advance to resist the attack, just like Sun Dadi's Ruxukou Fortress, the coalition forces must pull out this stronghold to cross the river with confidence.

Among the lords who besieged him, Stannis also found that many lords had had correspondence with him, and at least half of them had received gift money from him. It seemed that the silver bullet offensive was useless. He still couldn't run when he was beaten.

But Stannis can also understand them. After all, Snow Snake, the guardian of the southern border, personally leads the army. His brutal and cruel way of doing things makes his vassals miserable, even if someone flirts with Stannis in private. And, you shouldn't pick this time to jump out and support Stannis, otherwise it's only a matter of time before the whole family is wiped out.

As for why the Marquis of Snake fought around Stannis so desperately, Robert knew the truth, "The Snake family is one of the upstarts who followed Garcia to the top, because there are many ancient families in the southern border, and they still He was married to the previous Griffin family during the Holy Light Dynasty, so he was very dissatisfied that Garcia handed over the important position of guarding the southern border to the new Snake family. Once Garcia collapsed, the end of the Snake family can be imagined I know, so if they don’t do the work, who will do the work?”

After listening to his younger brother's analysis, Stannis felt more and more that it was a pity that Robert didn't go into politics, but why did this guy who was eating and dying all day always see everything so thoroughly but always liked to pretend to be dead? .

However, thanks to his analysis, Stannis also distinguished the primary and secondary conflicts. Most of the lords were forced to send troops because of the Duke's arrogance. Waiting for the diehard elements represented by a few families, as long as they are defeated, the others will naturally disperse.

But it's not okay to be surrounded by people in the camp like this. Stannis must find a chance to win a big victory, let his potential allies and vacillating neutral lords know: it's time for Tanis to change his throne up!
