This night attack, planned and operated by Lu Qi, lasted for several hours and achieved brilliant results.

Six thousand cavalry wearing various armors and with white belts on their arms plowed the entire Nilfgaardian camp up and down. Any soldiers in black who could move became lances, spears and The target of the sword.

The Nilfgaardian army was defeated and fled, and was pursued and killed by the Temerian army, suffering heavy casualties.

According to post-war statistics, under the thick darkness of Maribo, more than 15,000 people were killed or trampled to death, 2,000 were captured, and only 2,000 fled majestically without a trace.

This battle not only lifted the siege of Maribo, but under the leadership of 6,000 cavalry, the infantry troops were not to be outdone and went all the way south to regain the two fortresses of Mayena and Amelia in the southern part of Maribo, greatly expanding the The depth of the defense line.

Moreover, this victory broke the myth of the Nilfgaardians' invincibility and greatly boosted the morale of the northern countries.

Queen Meve, who was playing hide-and-seek with the Nilfgaardians in the Angrim area, and the guerrillas in the Aedirn area, took the opportunity to sneak attack on a wave of Nilfgaardians, and achieved some results.

Two days later, the Imperial Emperor, who was far away in the Golden Tower City, the capital of Nilfgaard, received news of the disastrous defeat of the Third Army and the various occupied areas. He immediately stayed alone in the palace for an hour before walking out of the palace.

After convening his ministers, the first instruction issued by Emperor Emhyr, "the white flame dancing on the enemy's grave," was to order all troops in southern Temeria to return to the fortress in the Soden region!

Obviously, Emhyr's move has only one purpose: strategic retreat!

Winter is approaching, and Temeria cannot be conquered in one fell swoop. Even if we continue to invest troops, it will only consume supplies and morale. It is better to wait until spring blooms and be fully prepared before launching a general attack on Temeria.

"When that time comes, wouldn't it be wonderful to concentrate our superior forces and capture all of Temeria in one fell swoop!" - These were the exact words of His Majesty Emperor Emhyr.

Indeed, Emhyr didn't care at all about this small defeat.

The Nilfgaardian Empire has a vast territory and a large population. In addition, it implements a provincial system, and the number of troops that can be mobilized nationwide reaches a terrifying number of more than 300,000.

You know, Foltest, who rules the entire Temeria, can mobilize an army of up to 20,000 individuals. Together with the armies of large and small vassals, we can probably make up 50,000 people.

Of course, this is the difference between centralized power and feudal fiefdom.

This is also the reason why Lu Qi did not choose the Nilfgaard camp, but the Northern camp:

In the Southern Empire, even if he made great military exploits, he could only be promoted at the military level and could not get a piece of his own fiefdom to develop his own power.

But in the north, in Temeria, he could obtain titles and territories based on his military exploits.

That's what he wants!

Although, the difficulty of helping Temeria resist the invasion of Nilfgaard is hellish...

After all, whether in terms of military strength or system, the unified southern empire is much stronger than the northern countries with many different forces and different agendas.

Historically, only the entire northern kingdoms united could barely compete with the southern empire.

However, now that he has joined, everything will be different...

. . .

Under the special publicity of Temeria's intelligence agency, this classic night attack battle, which later historians called the "Battle of Maribor", quickly spread throughout the north.

The northern countries all know that Temeria has produced such a super capable and resourceful young general.

Because he came and went like the wind on the battlefield, his sword skills were as sharp as a falcon, and he wore black soft armor, Lu Qi got the title of "Black Eagle of Temeria".

This battle completely established Lu Qi's status and prestige within the Temerian army, and gained the favor of King Foltest.

For this young man with explosive combat power and a strong sense of honor, Foltest became more and more pleased with him.

If he didn't have a daughter, he would definitely recruit her as his son-in-law. In that case, his dominance would be more stable and he would be more sure to resist the invasion of the Southerners.

Although he could not bribe Lu Qi immediately, the king still found other ways to express his appreciation for Lu Qi.

He very generously granted the Brenner Barony in the north of Maribo, including Brenner Castle and Zawada Village, to Lu Qi, directly turning him from a knight at the bottom of the aristocracy to Brenner baron.

Not only that, Foltest also specially created a new elite unit composed of knights, and appointed Lu Qi as the commander of the unit, which can independently recruit and command a thousand-man unit.

The name of this army is the Black Hawk Knights!

The backbone of the Black Hawk Knights are the mercenaries hired by Lu Qi from Vizima.

Although during the battle, more than half of the casualties occurred. However, the remaining forty-seven were all awarded knighthoods and became the famous forty-seven knights of the Temerian Black Hawk Knights.

Leading the forty-seven knights, Lu Qi came to his fiefdom of Brenner Castle, full of ambition...

. . .

By the end of December, winter has finally arrived.

As the Nilfgaardians retreated into various fortresses and castles, the entire continent entered a brief period of peace.

This period of biting cold wind is extremely important for the northern countries.

Not only did Temeria gain a precious respite, but the rulers of the northern countries also sat together again and began to discuss matters of joint resistance against the enemy.

Among them, the most exciting news for the people in the north is that Redania, one of the powerful countries in the north, has finally stabilized the domestic political situation and can free up its hands to join the war!

As early as early July, at the beginning of the war, due to the assassination of King Vizmir II, the entire Redania fell into chaos and was unable to send troops to support Aedirn or Temeria.

After a series of arrests, killings and hangings, Queen Hedwig, with the help of two important ministers, intelligence chief Dijkstra and warlock consultant Philippa Eilhardt, cleaned up the rebel parties in the country and restored her former glory. order.

After understanding the dangerous situation of the war, both of them understood that the northern countries must unite to avoid being defeated one by one.

People with lofty ideals in the north understand this.

Therefore, the two jointly advised Queen Redania and decided to send the Royal Army of Redania to support Temeria.

The entire army force totaled 35,000 soldiers, including 4,000 famous Redanian heavy cavalry.

King Kaedwen, who remained neutral, also sent a cooperating envoy.

The North is finally starting to unite...
