My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 444 The two armies meet

In the afternoon, the streets of King Hayden were full of ready-to-go teams, and all nobles, large and small, assembled according to the orders of the new King Alot.

“Your Majesty has orders! Go now!”

“Your Majesty has orders! Go now!”

As the messengers keep galloping After giving the order, grandiose’s procession began to flow out from the three gates of King Hayden.

The army of Alban dukedom filed out from the king city, and Jean dukedom was steadily moving towards the front. At this time, the army of Jean dukedom was less than a hundred miles away from the king city of Hayden, according to normal Speed, it only takes two days to arrive.

……

Second day Early in the morning, on the road sixty miles away from King Hayden, King Lawrence summoned his eight counts to attend an emergency meeting.

Because the moment before, King Lawrence received a report from the Rangers, and found a huge camp forty miles ahead, which was the main force of Alban’s Dukedom.

For the uncharacteristic moves of Alban’s Dukedom army, King Lawrence of course must be cautious, worried about whether there is a trap.

This time, Jean dukedom is going south with the power of the whole country. If there is any big mistake, the forces of the three Dukedoms will be completely reversed.

“This morning, the Rangers detected that the Dukedom army in Alban did not plan to defend our attack at King Hayden, but appeared 20 miles ahead. I am calling you here now. Discuss, is there any possibility of Hayden’s conspiracy here!”

At this moment, the entire army is still packing up equipment and preparing to set off. This time the parliament was placed directly on a flat grass. The name count sat in the open air at a long table.

“Your Majesty, have the Rangers determined the number of Alban Dukedom’s army?”

Hearing the news that Alban Dukedom took the initiative to attack, several counts were obviously very surprised. , they all pondered, and after a while, Avery took the lead in asking questions.

“Because the Alban Dukedom also sent a lot of Rangers, and the terrain here is flat and there is no commanding heights, our Rangers cannot determine the exact number of Alban Dukedom’s army.”

“However, according to the investigation of the three squad rangers, the Alban dukedom army in front is at least 30,000 people in number.”

“Your Majesty, since that is the case! Then There’s nothing to worry about! Their main force is ahead, no matter what tricks, as long as we move slowly, the Alban Dukedom will be useless even if it has any tricks.”

Alban Dukedom’s The army, including the large and small nobles, is at most about 50,000 people, and it can be confirmed that there are more than 30,000 people here, which means that Alban Dukedom has indeed given up guarding the king’s city and is ready to fight them to the death in the wild.

In the face of absolute power, even if there are any crafty plots and machinations, as long as Jean dukedom follows the steps and does not greedily advance, there is no risk.

“Your Majesty, do you think King Hayden has the support of other forces!”

At this time, the Lord of the North suddenly spoke.

“Who can Hayden join forces with? Is it the church?”

“Count Gust, you think too much! The church only dares to support Alban dukedom secretly, If he dares to help Hayden on the surface, then the Dukedom of Kexis will not agree, when the time comes our dukedom will cut off the annual tax paid to the church at the same time, don’t they consider the consequences of doing so?”

Avery immediately retorted, he believed that the Lord of the North was deliberately arguing with him.

However, Gust ignored Avery and looked straight at King Lawrence, waiting for his words.

“Actually, I have the same concern, after all, Alban’s Dukedom’s actions this time are too unreasonable.”

The king agreed with the Lord of the North’s guess, and Avery in This brief moment his face became extremely ugly, and it felt like a loud slap in the face.

“I think there must be some changes in the dukedom in Alban that we don’t know about, otherwise it’s impossible to make such a sure-fire move, so we need to be prepared, whether when the time comes or not. It was an accident.”

Next, King Lawrence stated his plan, that is, to draw 200 people from each family’s elite Knight regiment, and King Lawrence himself made 400 people to form a team A Knight regiment of 2,000 people came as a backup, just in case.

In addition to the 2,000-person Knight group, King Lawrence also plans to leave his own elite Legion with 5,000 people, so that a total of 7,000 people will be used as trump cards. This trump card cannot be used unless it is a last resort. .

This plan made by the king directly caused Jean dukedom’s army to lose 7,000 elites.

If the 7,000 elites are missing when fighting against the Alban army, it is bound to pay more than the original price to defeat the enemy.

And this loss was passed on to the big count families, so the king had to convene the big counts to discuss, otherwise, if he was arbitrary, it would probably make the great families feel bad about it.

The next battle determines the final victory or defeat of this southern expedition, and King Lawrence must eliminate all hidden dangers.

Several counts listened to the king’s plan, and of course they understood the pros and cons, and they all fell into thinking.

“Your Majesty, I have no opinion from the Wyntons!”

“Your Majesty, I have no opinion from my Jones family!”

“Your Majesty…  “

The Lord of the North had doubts, so he took the lead in agreeing to King Lawrence’s plan.

And Alice has no opinion. Since the Lord of the North agrees, she will naturally support it.

Several other counts also voiced their agreement when they saw two people’s comments.

Although this may cause them to lose more soldiers, but soldiers are like leeks, one crop will be cut again, and now the most important thing is to ensure the victory of the war.

At that time, their harvest was unprecedented.

After confirming the next plan, the king dismissed a number of counts, and the army is about to move on.

“Alice, you have to pay more attention to your body! You are now the only bloodline in the Jones family! That Gervais kid is slick, he will definitely come back safely, and it is estimated that he may be looting somewhere at this time. What!”

After the meeting was dissolved, the Lord of the North saw that his granddaughter was obviously haggard, and couldn’t help but persuaded distressedly.

“Well, I know, don’t worry, grandfather!”

Alice heard the words of the Lord of the North, and smiled reluctantly at the Lord of the North nodded.

These words had been spoken to her many times by the Lord of the North recently, and even Gandalf had persuaded her a few times.

But Alice knew in her heart that if Gervais was safe, she would be back on the team long ago.

Sixty miles ahead is the royal city of Alban’s dukedom, but there is still no news from Gervais.

Gervais has no news so far, Alice speculates that there are only two possibilities, either Gervais has been captured by Alban dukedom, or… .

So no matter what others tried to convince, Alice couldn’t stop worrying.

“Grandfather, what happened to Caroline?”

Seeing that the Lord of the North was about to continue talking about Gervais, Alice continued to smile reluctantly and changed the subject.

“Ai, there has been no news of Caroline since the attack on Mai Leaf City!”

“King Hayden does not agree to replace those minor nobles, but I want Jean dukedom to stop the attack and withdraw! So there is no possibility of compromise!”

“It’s all my fault, I couldn’t hold back her pleading and let her come to the South Expedition!”

Speaking of Caroline, the Lord of the North reluctantly shook the head, he could already predict that his granddaughter would be bode ill rather than well, and now he just hoped that she would suffer less.

……

A day later, it is forty miles away from King Hayden.

At this time, the army of Jean dukedom and the army of Alban dukedom are already facing each other. A life-and-death confrontation is about to begin!
