NOVEL NEXT Chapter 29 Reinforcements
With common interests, this meeting went very smoothly. According to the sharing ratio, each party needs to provide an equal amount of troops.
The longer time passes, the greater the changes.
The four met five days later and gathered at the border of the Barony of Cleveland. They joined forces to attack and open up the knight's territory and occupy this rich iron mine.
In the past few days, Weilin has been actively preparing for the war.
On the morning of July 7, a well-equipped army entered Qixing Lake from the south.
After Weilin received the news, he led his people to greet his cousin.
"Weilin, I'm here."
A handsome knight came towards him, it was his cousin Brian.
"Cousin, you are welcome."
The knights from both sides paid tribute to the other lord and followed the two men into the Lake of Praying Stars.
"In less than three months, we have built this area into a presentable area. It is much better than your cousin." While touring the territory, Brian recalled the scene at the beginning of his development with great emotion.
"Cousin, that's an exaggeration. Thanks to the "assistance" from Sir Brandon next door, I have enough manpower to carry out the next plan." Verin responded with a smile.
After talking all the way, everyone came to a wide grassland, where sumptuous food and wine were laid out, and many knights began to attend the banquet.
During the banquet, Weilin introduced his plans to his cousin while introducing the surrounding situation.
"Weilin, I don't think it's so troublesome. Your cousin and I brought fifty bronze knights, two hundred knight attendants, and six hundred elite warriors this time. We directly set up a posture, attacked from the front, and defeated the opponent. "
Brian rubbed his swollen head, waved his hand to interrupt Verin's chatter, and told him the simplest and crudest plan.
"Cousin, if you do this, you will cause a lot of casualties. After all, the opponent is not a vegetarian. Appropriate use of some strategies will allow us to reduce casualties and obtain greater benefits." Welin looked at Brian speechlessly and spoke. advised.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Looking at Verin who was about to continue talking, Brian waved his hand, picked up a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.
"Forget it, cousin, let your guardian knight communicate with me."
Verin covered his face and looked at this drunkard. He really didn't know how his cousin managed to acquire a territory twice the size of the Barony of Cleveland in just six years and run it in an orderly manner.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet ended, and many drunk knights fell to sleep.
As a last resort, Verin could only ask Orlando to bring some blankets to cover these people.
"Lord Verin, I am the Lord's guardian knight and CEO. You can call me Adrian." A young man dressed up appeared in front of Verin.
Feeling the fluctuations on his body, Verin said in surprise: "Magic Knight?"
"Sir, you have good eyesight." The young man responded politely and elegantly.
Now, Verin understands why the Ridge Territory is managed so well, and the reason is probably due to this person.
Magic knights are knights who use magic energy. They have the advantages of two extraordinary professions, magician and knight. They are powerful and intelligent, which is synonymous with them.
Afterwards, Weilin took Adrian to a wooden house, spread out a map, and began to explain his plan.
"In this battle, we will face attacks from four territories. I estimate the size of the enemy army to be 3,000, of which 60% will be serfs. This means that we will face only 1,200 regular troops. .”
"The Lake of Praying Stars can dispatch 300 infantrymen and 15 bronze knights, placing them in front to attract the enemy's attention."
"As for you, the opponent does not know your existence in advance, so they can ambush in the side area, wait for my signal, attack from the side and rear, raid the opponent's command center, and defeat their core strength."
After hearing this, Adrian asked doubtfully: "Lord Verin, forgive me for the offence, can 300 of you withstand a frontal attack of 3,000 of the other side?"
"You don't need to worry about this, I have a way to deal with it." Weilin smiled mysteriously and said to Adrian.
This move aroused the curiosity of the magic knight, and he wanted to know how the other party could stop three thousand people with three hundred people.
After entering the Lake of Praying Stars, he had already found out that there was no Silver Knight here.
"dong dong dong"
Hearing the knock on the door, Weilin said, "Come in."
Orlando opened the door and reported: "My lord, we have captured six escaped serfs. They are all slaves who were traded back a week ago."
"Demoted to a third-class slave. After the war is over, he will be distributed with salt mines."
"Yes."
After Orlando left, Adrian naturally understood that these people should be the spies planted by the other party in the Lake of Praying Stars. When he learned that a strange army had entered, he couldn't wait to escape and go back to report the news.
However, in contrast, he was very interested in the young knight.
At only thirteen years old, he is already an intermediate bronze knight. His talent is astonishing.
……
April 7th, the sun was shining brightly.
The four lords gathered with their men at the border of the Barony of Cleveland.
Sixty bronze knights, three hundred knight attendants, one thousand warriors, and three thousand serfs were the main force of this crusade.
Violet, Leslie and Barry were in high spirits, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.
They didn't believe that such a powerful force could be resisted by a pioneer knight who had just come out.
But Brandon felt something was wrong. None of the spies arranged in the slave team came back, which made him feel uneasy.
"This time, I will definitely kill that brat and avenge Brandon at the same time, hahaha." Violet looked at Brandon proudly and said it without hesitation in front of everyone.
The men belonging to Violet raised their weapons and looked at Brandon's army provocatively, showing off their bravery.
"Master, they..." A knight was very angry and pointed at Violet and said to Brandon.
"Forget it, I feel something is wrong, let our people slow down."
Brandon was not angry at Violet's little trick, and instead gave orders to the knight.
He has long passed the age of full-bloodedness, how could he fall into such a provocation and become cannon fodder?
Seeing this scene, Violet did not continue and scolded his men to shut up.
"Set off."
Under the order of temporary commander-in-chief Violet, the large army began to advance towards the camp where the mithril mine was located.
As agreed, Violet's army was in the front, followed by Leslie and Barry's troops, and Brandon's army was at the end, with a total of only about 500 people.
Due to the heavy losses in the last battle, he did not have enough money and equipment to reorganize his troops in a short period of time.
