Start as Inherited Baroness

"My Lord Viscount! There are too many bandits! We can't hold on! Let's retreat first!"

"His Highness Feddy hasn't come out yet! Kill them back! Rescue His Highness!

Otherwise, no one is allowed to leave! Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!" Simon raised his spear and shouted at them coldly.

Trodo and others were stunned, turned around and looked a few times, gritted their teeth and led their men back.

Some soldiers of the Sword Cavalry Regiment saw this and hesitated to move forward. After hesitation, they also followed and killed back.

"Follow me and wade in the mud! Listen to my orders when the time comes, and never attack rashly!" Simon said to Mailan and his personal soldiers.

"Yes!" Everyone responded.

Then Simon led them to rush down, but just rolled a few times on the edge.

He also killed more than a dozen soldiers who rushed in front of them.

Simon saw that there were too many soldiers of the Green Forest Brotherhood, and knew that he could not change anything, so he immediately called out: "Follow me to retreat!"

They quickly waded out of the muddy area with a group of sixty or seventy people, and then climbed the gentle slope.

At this time, the sharp-eyed Sword Cavalry Regiment and the barons and nobles also saw their figures, and they fled while fighting.

"Be alert all around!" Simon ordered.

Upon hearing this, the guards cavalry immediately dispersed and looked around.

Taking advantage of this gap, Simon put the heavy armor and some battle axes, fine iron swords and other weapons on the carriage into the storage bar.

After a while, more and more cavalry and barons and nobles escaped from the swamp, almost showing a trend of defeat.

"Viscount! We failed to rescue His Highness!" A baron with blood on his face ran to Simon and knelt down and cried.

"Gather the remaining troops and retreat first! Go and join the army behind!" Simon said.

Soon after, the Green Forest Brothers in the swamp gave a thunderous cheer, and each one was extremely excited.

About four or five hundred cavalry fled back to the gentle slope, including both ordinary soldiers and various nobles.

"My Lord Viscount, they were well prepared and used a strong tendon net to trap His Highness Fedi.

And it was really inconvenient to move in the swamp, and the heavy armor on his body became a complete burden..." Somir cried out in grievance with mud all over his body.

"Yes! Your Highness is really too aggressive! How can cavalry fight in such a place?" Trodo continued.

These two people have returned, and their soldiers have not suffered too much loss, only one-third of them have been reduced.

But the other barons were not so lucky. Less than half escaped, and there were only nine people in total.

Six direct barons did not escape, either killed or captured, but Willier was smart and escaped with his life.

"Okay, let's go!"

Simon looked at the Green Forest Brothers Army. Although they were exhausted and had no intention of pursuing, they could not stay here for long.

Then the surviving remnants of the army rode on their horses and headed north. There were many horses here, more than 2,500 horses, all driven together.

The battle ended with a tragic victory for the Brotherhood of the Green Forest.

Although they destroyed the combat capability of the Sword Cavalry Regiment, they also paid the price of the death of five or six thousand veterans.

Two days later, Simon and others joined the army.

"What!? His Highness Feddy was captured!!"

Ravens Rooney, the commander of the Sword Legion, was shocked and said in disbelief.

"That's right! We don't know the specific battle process because we don't have enough horsepower and follow behind.

You can ask them, they are directly involved in the battle."

Simon pointed to the survivors of the Sword Cavalry Regiment, stepped aside, and said expressionlessly.

"Caso! What's going on!?"

This person is the deputy commander of the Sword Cavalry Regiment. When asked, he cried, as if his parents had died.

"Sir! We fell into a trap! The despicable bandits! Originally, His Highness Feddy led us to kill them..."

Caso began to tell the whole process of their triumphant victory to their defeat. Simon had already heard it once, so he was a little distracted.

Prince Feddy was a little rash after all because he had little experience in marching and fighting. The enemy's light infantry formation in the open space on the plain was suspicious.

Perhaps he looked down on the Brotherhood of the Bandits too much.

In fact, this rebel organization is not simple.

They have been making trouble in Xigodi for so long, and now they have even attacked the Forest Valley and attempted to capture Xisaidi. They must be strong.

Even if the team was mostly peasants at the beginning, after fighting for so long, those who are still alive have become elite.

And the core of the group is probably composed of many mercenary groups or other unknown organizations, and the peasant army is just a wing.

"Alas! Are there any members of the Oak Shield Guards who escaped?" Ravens Rooney sighed and asked after listening.

After a while, three heavily armored soldiers came out uncomfortably.

"Kill!" Ravens said without hesitation with a fierce face.

"Sir! Spare my life! We are too far away from His Highness, and we are too late..." The heavily armored soldier immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"You didn't protect His Highness well, and you still have the nerve to beg for mercy! Treat them as deserters!"

Seven or eight soldiers rushed over, pinned the three people down, and then took them to the open space, drew the long swords at their waists, and cut off their heads cleanly.

There was silence for a while, and Ravens looked at Simon and smiled: "My Lord Viscount, the current plan is to rescue His Highness Feddy as soon as possible.

You are now the highest-ranking person here, please take over the command! What should we do? Please make an idea!"

Simon looked at him suddenly, and was shocked. He thought to himself: "This man is so sinister! Ferdie might be beheaded now. Let me command the army to save people? Save a ghost!"

"Hey! What are you talking about! I am only seventeen years old this year. I was born as a horse-breeding freeman and have never been exposed to military strategy!

How can I command these 30,000 troops! You are the commander of the Sword Legion. You must have some strategies. You can command!

You are not lower than me in terms of title. Aren't you a viscount?" Simon refused.

Ravens is a viscount in the court title. He receives royal salary but has no fiefdom. His legal status is equal to that of a real viscount.

But if the two meet, the court viscount will inevitably feel half a head shorter.

"Then please help me, Viscount Simon, for the purpose of rescuing His Highness Ferdie!" Ravens said seriously after hearing this.

"No problem! All right, you keep these two thousand war horses, and the remaining more than 500 are our own, so we can't give them to you." Simon smiled.

"After a short rest, we will set off in the afternoon." Ravens nodded and left.

Simon also led his men back to his army.

"My Lord Viscount! I heard that a major change has occurred?" Airey asked.

"His Highness Feddy was captured by the Green Forest Brotherhood, and his life or death is unknown.

Twelve barons under our command were also trapped on the battlefield. Go and disperse their soldiers and integrate them together.

Test out the loyal ones and put them in the Death Soldier Camp.

In addition, more than 400 of the more than 500 war horses are ownerless. Give them to our guards. After this battle, we will strive to have everyone have a horse." Simon ordered in a calm voice.

Airey was delighted when he heard this, and saluted respectfully and said, "Yes! My Lord!"

He then hurried to do his work.

At this time, Somier and Trodo also met and chatted.
