Rise In Calradia

As we all know, the Kingdom of Rhodok is known as the country of mountains. It has resisted thousands of troops from the north for the past 100 years by relying on undulating mountains and vast forests that never dry in all seasons. Therefore, many outsiders have an impression of this land. It is the rolling mountains, and the mountain people that shuttle through them, just like the legendary Batanians hundreds of years ago. However, if you have a little understanding of the South, and after listening to the narration of travelers from Rhodok, people will know that Rhodok is not all covered by mountains. In the middle of Rhodok, there is a large area between the two mountains. The rich land, that is the plain between Veluga and Jelkala, not only produces a large amount of food, fruits and vegetables to feed the millions of people in Rhodok, but also supports the country with a large number of workshops. Economy. But only those few out-of-towners who have a real understanding of geography or who have actually traveled and lived in Rhodok will know that there is a third part of this country, which is the eastern region, which is also the most special area in Rhodok.

The vast mountainous areas of Rhodok are not completely coherent. The Veluga Plain divides the mountains into two in the middle, dividing the kingdom into three regions with very different natural conditions. In the east, the small mountain range headed by the Seren Mountains protrudes northward from the eastern mountains, Serenmis to the west, Seren Town and its affiliated villages to the east, and the kingdom’s eastern important towns Amic and Gamila. Ruled by the brothers Leiland and Tazias.

This area is different from other places in Rhodok. The eastern mountain range of Rhodok is longer and narrower than the western mountains. It isolates geographical conditions but encloses a low-lying plain with an area equivalent to half the size of the central plain. It is almost completely surrounded by mountains, with lush forests to the north and the seaside plains to the south. Hunter huts, logging camps, charcoal kilns, quarries, and fishing villages are widely spread on this land. The land suitable for farming is either located in the Salen area. The northern plains of the mountains are either the space between the forest and the seashore. Compared with other places in Rhodok, the people’s lifestyle and culture are more similar to Swadia, even the flag of Count Tazias. They are all lily lions, which are quite similar to the Swadia nobles, which also proves the origin of their family lineage. Moreover, in addition to cultural customs, most of the trade objects in this place also come from eastern Swadia, which is dominated by Dehrim, and the more eastern Salander, which has taken over Rhodok's trade with desert peoples. It is for these reasons that this area is also quite independent within the Kingdom of Rodok. The Leyland family was originally a local nobleman in Swadia. The power of the kingdom took down this piece of land wrapped in mountains and ruled here for generations.

The local products are enough to feed the 200,000 people who live here, and the trade with the north and the east has made the two earls a lot of money. If it were not for the blocking of the eastern mountains, the area and the Rhodok inland would be inconvenient to travel. With its geographical advantage, this piece of land will definitely become a trading center for Rodok and Salander, and the Leyland family's financial resources will certainly expand to the same level as Veluga. But it is precisely because of this that the successive Rhodok kings have never stopped suppressing them, lest the already highly independent eastern part becomes an independent region.

But now the kingdom is launching a counterattack against the invaders in the north. In the absence of sufficient mobile forces, King Griffith has to ask them for help and let the eastern nobles intervene.

Outside the town of Serendil, the farmers who were busy in the farmland have disappeared. People ran into the town because only there were enough defenses to protect them. But what's interesting is that they gave up most of their possessions and stored supplies, as if those Rhodok soldiers would want to let go of their assets for the sake of their kinship.

And a few miles away, a force of more than 3,000 heavily armed soldiers was already preparing to fight.

This army wears a green burqa and holds a lily lion flag that symbolizes the blood of the nobles in the eastern Rhodok. More than half of them wear chain armor that covers the knees, and the remaining half are also made of well-made cotton armor. Armed. Almost all of them have strong iron helmets, and the sergeants among them are all protected by well-maintained plate armor and thick chain armor imported from the East. The weapons in their hands are polished brightly. Their horses cannot be counted, and there is even a cavalry unit with similar equipment to the Swadia heavy cavalry, with as many as 300 men. This force is a coalition of Count Tazias and his elder brother, Count Leyland, and when the army from the west advances towards Veluga, they advance towards Fort Gruenwald.

That's right, it's Gruen Wardburg, the former border town between Rodok and Swadia! In other words, this is the goal of this war in the Rhodok Kingdom.

After many failed battles, King Griffith realized the reality that when the reinforcements from the north could continue to enter Rodok, they could not take back the city of Veluga, which was invaded by the northerners. Even if they succeeded in encircling the city, Swadia’s cavalry, especially the pesky Byron’s troops, could always arrive in time to meet the Swadia army inside and outside the city. Even if Rodok marches from multiple directions, they can also defeat them individually.

Therefore, the king and several lords have formulated a new plan. They will attack from the mountains and cooperate with the army of Jelkala to attack Veluga together ~www.NovelMTL.com~ attracts including Grunward The army from many Swadia-controlled areas including the fort assembled Veluga to resist the attack of the Rhodok army. But Rodok did not need to occupy the city, they only needed to encircle the city and wait for the eastern army to arrive.

If all goes well, their speed will reach their destination before the troops farther north move south. At this time, the defenders of Gruen Ward Fort will be quite limited, and Byron's troops will be reduced by a considerable amount, Rhodok's The nobles already had a certain understanding of Byron. They knew that the lord, who was born as a mercenary, didn’t pay much attention to honor. He didn’t fight unprepared battles. His first priority was his own interests. In this case Either he stayed in the town, or took the initiative to lead the troops to attack, attacking when they were exhausted. But even if he was dispatched, the Leyland brothers' well-supplied and well-equipped army could not be defeated by Byron, who had divided up to defend Veluga.

Finally, they will quickly take down Fort Gruenward, and then part of the defense will be returned to the east, leaving enough soldiers to guard here, reinforcements from the north will be blocked outside this Rhodok fortress, and the road to the south will be Blocked by the Rhodok army, Veluga is after all a populous city, not a fortress that can be defended by only a few people. How long can they last without foreign aid? Prince Harau can calculate this number clearly.

The two earls were ready to fight, but at this moment Serlindil sent an emissary to his side, which was a bit unexpected, but the earl of Leyland was happy to meet him.
