Mysterious Tribulation

King Kagash.

Anthony II was a charismatic king. He liked oil paintings and poems. He often held various cultural salons in the palace.

At this time, holding the latest news brought by the raven, the poet king's face was full of anger: Those damn green barbarians, once again set off a green disaster!

Prime Minister Mason is a court earl without fief, with gray hair and wisdom in his eyes.

Looking at the messy imperial meeting, he knew the inside story and coughed: It is meaningless to hold someone accountable now. The key is how to deal with it. What does Your Excellency Minister of Military Affairs think?

The Minister of Military Affairs is the only real duke in the kingdom, the Grand Duke of Bauhinia, and is also a relative of the king.

He stood up, cleared his throat and said, There are about 5,000 people in the Green Forest this time, but they are far from being the opponents of the kingdom. The lords will all be loyal to the king, and they can make up an army of 30,000 people. The key is Arnold Castle and its rivals. The fall of the latter series of castles, full of fallacies and oddities...

Mr. Caston...

Anthony II couldn't help but look at the Minister of Intelligence, a chubby, middle-aged and rich man with no beard on his face.

I'm sorry, my majesty...

Caston bowed first, with a wry smile on his face: Our arrangement in the green forest has been uprooted, and we rarely receive news, and according to the reports of the lords in the north... I have heard some very bad news. Strange rumors, first of all, it is certain that the original Earl of Greenwood - Theodore abdicated, and his successor is his second son - Aaron Sotos!

And this second son, Earl, who was not well-known before, suddenly showed extraordinary talent... and recently, it is even more rumored that he has been favored by the patron saint of the Green Forest, can show miracles, and can summon huge The banyan tree can use the thunder of the sky... Well, it is said that Marquis Arnold's castle was blown open by the thunder and fire of the sky that he summoned.

Nonsense! Grand Duke Bauhinia sneered: We have all seen the magic of bards and the tricks of so-called fortune-tellers. They can be used as entertainment during banquets. It is a joke to actually march and fight! Is the kingdom still alive? Do we have to recruit those so-called wizards and prophets to protect us? Only iron and blood can protect our territory!

The old but still healthy Grand Duke looked at the king: Your Majesty, please allow me to fight on your behalf!

It's all up to you.

Anthony II was very confident.

In this era, the king did not have many private soldiers, and ten thousand people were the limit.

To form a large army, you also need the help of various lords.

Among them, the duke with the largest territory will naturally make the most of it, and there are also 20,000 in the alliance!

This adds up to 30,000, the peak power of a kingdom!

...

At the same time, inside Shuanghe Castle.

Aaron is cutting a steak at random.

The castle belonged to an earl's family and guarded the gates of the kingdom's northern and central borders.

After winning here, the army can directly rush into the hinterland of the kingdom.

Because the location is important, there is an earl guarding it, but the door is easily opened by explosives.

Among them, he also used the divination plan to find the weakness of the earl's army.

It's so annoying...

Because there were so many things to do after the city was broken, Aaron had to deal with affairs while eating.

It even squeezed out his daily dreaming time.

Fortunately, the development of the light of redemption in the city of Diat is not bad, and there is no major enemy.

It was just yesterday that Lin reported something to Olivia, and the Black Sun Cult was revived again, and even several dark beasts were born in a row, and their actions became more and more extreme and crazy.

It can be seen that the conflict will become more intense in the future.

Lord Earl, what should the original Earl of this castle and his family do?

Not long after, Sanchez came over and asked in a low voice.

Take the count as a hostage and order the remaining vassals to send troops to follow us, as a servant army, do you want me to teach you this?

Aaron looked at his subordinates in amazement: Our people are still too few. Although we do not suffer much damage every time we fight, over time, there will be no one left. Therefore, to attack a country with many people from a country with few people, we must Recruit those who defect and form a servant army!

Looking at Sanchez who was leaving, Aaron felt a little tired: The Green Forest people are still a little too savage. It's too difficult to find a few suitable ministers...

Originally, I was thinking about whether to completely occupy the Kagash Kingdom, but now Aaron understands that he thinks too much.

The bottom green forest people are a group of robbers. If they kill enough and rob enough, they will want to go home.

Maybe those lords have different ideas, but their governance methods are still too crude, and they may not be able to digest the new territory very well.

The estrangement and hatred between the Green Forest and the Kagash are too huge, and it is difficult to integrate them.

Of course, if I'm determined to completely occupy this side, it's not impossible, but I always feel like I'm consuming a lot of energy...

Aaron frowned.

Such troublesome things should be left to the next generation to do.

He really doesn't have much desire to open up new territories. The main reason for starting the war this time is Theodore's request and revenge.

...

Half a month later, in the middle of the kingdom, the Wind Chime Plain.

The Green Forest army under Aaron was damaged a bit, but with the addition of the servant army, it actually reached seven or eight thousand people, facing off against the 30,000 Kingdom army led by Grand Duke Bauhinia.

The Grand Duke of Bauhinia is the commander-in-chief, and the other marquis is the deputy... There are a bunch of knights underneath, is this the main force of the kingdom?

Inside the tent, Aaron looked at the map with a happy expression on his face: If you destroy this army, you will be able to go directly to the capital, complete the final revenge, and finally you can go home after the battle and continue to study the mysticism... …”

Go on and call the lords to discuss matters!

It didn't take long for all the Green Forest lords to gather together, all with solemn expressions.

The army of 30,000 sheepmen is very well equipped, and it is a bit difficult to fight...

Iman Knight gave a pertinent suggestion.

Don't look at the fact that there are 8,000 of them now, but in fact there are only less than 4,000 left in the Green Forest army, and the rest are wounded or left behind.

Servants are fighting against the wind, or they are used as auxiliary arms. This kind of battle is bound to draw water or even turn against each other.

My opinion is just the opposite, the more enemies I have, the happier I am.

Aaron laughed.

All the lords couldn't help looking at him, quietly waiting for Aaron to speak.

Since this period of time, not only the religious belief bonus, but also a series of victories have made Aaron's commander's majesty increase day by day, like a deification.

He even doubted that even if he said that the sun was square, these people had to think about it.

The 30,000-strong army, people eat horses, and the logistical pressure is greater than us... And the way to use soldiers is ruthless, and the second is to run out of food...

Aaron talked eloquently: I will take people around the path to attack the enemy's logistics. It is under the unified command of Viscount Bury. As long as you hold it, you can retreat if necessary, and retreat to the Shuanghe Castle. After a few days, the enemy army will collapse!

Viscount Bury, a knight who originally descended to the Green Forest, won the trust of Theodore, and was later canonized as a viscount.

In terms of fighting ability, it can only be said that he is barely taller than a short one.

In fact, Aaron is more optimistic about Knight Iman, but the identity of the other party is a little embarrassing, at least those lords who go down to the green forest will not be convinced.

Aaron looked around and continued: Iman Knight is the deputy, I repeat, I need you to hold on, delay time! Wait for the news of my success!
