Chapter 238 Recapture the Fortress(1/2)
Among the large army, the young commanders began to work. After breakfast, they led the cavalry as the vanguard towards the border.
As the captain of the escort headquarters, Alison's movements were slightly slower, but only compared to the running cavalry.
Duke Caimon's headquarters entered Ratched at noon, and the knights in the territory hurried over when they saw Alison.
"Lord Allison, where is Mr. Earl?" asked the Ratched retainer who came over.
"Don't you know?" Alison looked at the knights, "He was promoted to a marquis and served as an official in the royal capital."
"Did the knights beside the earl stay there as well?" the knight frowned upon hearing this.
"I really didn't pay attention to this." Alison was slightly surprised when she heard this. "The noble knights who died on the Rhine River were all recruited. The count's knights couldn't have been recruited as well."
"No, none of the earl's knights have returned." Duke Camon's voice came from the carriage.
"Then we don't know." Alison shook her head slightly, looked at those people and said, "Maybe she sneaked into the royal capital to rescue the earl."
The knight frowned when he heard this, raised his head and looked at Alison, "You mean rescue?"
"Rachid may not like life in the royal capital, that's what I think." Allison looked at the knight, "Speaking of the rescue mission to the royal capital, he still owed me five hundred gold coins."
"I think the count will give it to you as soon as he comes back." The knight replied.
"I just said, I don't expect them to give it." Alison shook her head slightly and asked, "Do you know about the invasion of the Demon Kingdom?"
"I know, they broke through the fortress and dispersed many teams into the earl territory. Pastor John has already led the Templars to help."
The knight nodded, "And we also dispatched a thousand people from various places."
"Our army was the one who quelled the chaos in the past." Alison looked at the knight, "Then I'll leave first."
"I wish you all the best." The knight bowed his head and saluted.
After bidding farewell to the knights, the headquarters continued to move forward. On the road, they occasionally encountered suspicious people with dull expressions and clothing that were not from the Kingdom. Whenever the Templars went over to inquire, they would violently injure them with scimitars.
But they were eventually suppressed.
"Wow, wow, wow~"
After kicking out the suspicious man who was still struggling after being caught, Alison looked through the Book of Destiny. He was a member of a primitive clan who had no rank but had reached the limit of his rank. He and more than a hundred of his companions were scattered.
The purpose of arriving here is to find out about the black goat cub.
"Kacha~" Alison kicked the fainted clan member's neck and broke it, then turned to look at Camon in the carriage, "Commander, this man is a spy who is looking for information. They have 18 people this time.
The clan soldiers came, captured the fortress, besieged the city of Cefas on the border, and even attacked the baronage of Victor."
"Who is leading the team?" Camon asked.
"It's the deacon of Four Fertility Church." Alison replied.
"There is no suspense about the war." Kai Meng nodded slightly when he heard the words, "The number of young men in the clan who can go out to fight is between one hundred and two hundred. The Eighteenth Route Clan only has four thousand people at most. They are not professionals yet. As for the
Those deacons are a bit tricky, but they can’t handle the large number of us.”
"This way we can easily retake the fortress." Alison nodded slightly.
"There is no reason to set up the headquarters in Cefas." Camon said, looking at the castle ahead.
The team continued to move forward, and Alison and the others came to Victor Castle. The knight stationed here was not there. The soldiers guarding the castle said that the knight went out after receiving the news of the invasion and never came back.
"Didn't you encounter enemy siege?" Alison asked.
"No, but there were fires and sounds of fighting in the village outside the castle last night." The soldier said, pointing to the village in the distance.
"Oh, that's the village where my people are." Alison looked at the direction pointed by the soldier, "I was going there too."
The command team continued to move forward under the leadership of Alison. When they arrived at the village, they saw various human skeletons piled there. Blood dyed the land at the entrance of the village red, and the village could be seen from a distance.
The mist is so thick that you can even smell the aroma of meat.
"It feels like entering a witch's lair." Duke Caimon looked at the surrounding scene, "Are you sure your people are still there?"
"Should be there." Alison nodded slightly, then patted McKenna and said, "Go in and call someone."
The little witch ran into the village quickly, and soon she led a large number of women in black robes out.
"Sir." Serena, who was about the same size as McKenna, came over and saluted.
Alison nodded slightly, then pointed to Camon behind her, "This is Duke Camon, the commander appointed by Adili, the general governor of the kingdom. Our mission this time is to unite with the Templars to protect Duke Camon's personal safety at the headquarters.
, generally speaking, there is no need to go to the battlefield."
"Everything is subject to the arrangements of the adults." Serena bowed and saluted.
Alison nodded after hearing this, pointing to the war horses prepared in Boulos City, "Follow me to the fortress."
The team moved forward again until Alison and the others arrived at the eastern part of West Fas City near sunset. From a distance, they saw many warriors standing on the city wall, both from the church and locals.
"Ta da da da~"
Sensing the arrival of the team, a Templar was released from the city.
"Is this Duke Caimon ahead?" The Templar knight rode up to the front of the carriage.
"It's me." Duke Cammon opened the car door and walked out.
"On behalf of the whole city of Cefas, I would like to thank the General Consul for his support. In addition, if the fortress falls for a second time, we can retreat to the city of Cefas. We will face the enemy together with Duke Caimon." The Templars said loudly.
As soon as the Templar Knight said these words, even Duke Caimon, no matter how well-educated he was, could not help but frown. He looked at the Templar Knight and said, "Thank you for the support of Cefas City, but I think we can hold the fortress. That's not all.
, we still want to regain the Demon Kingdom."
"This is what we want to see, just in case." The Templar Knight looked at Camon's escort team, "May God bless you to win!"
"This is the inevitable result." The Duke looked at the Templar knight and nodded, then ordered the team to continue their march.
After traveling all the way, Alison finally arrived at the fortress at night, and saw camps entrenched under the fortress, and Ryan had been waiting below for a long time.
"I thought the commander would set up a headquarters in Cefas City." Ryan looked at Duke Kemon and saluted slightly, "But the fortress has been defeated, and you are relatively safe here."
"You are really brave. You took the fortress back in less than a day." Duke Caimon looked at Ryan, "Are there many casualties?"
"It's not big. You have to remember that the savages of these clans don't know how to defend the city, so we captured it easily." Ryan shrugged, "We also rescued the group of defenders who were treated as slaves."
"Oh, that's really good." Kai Meng nodded, and then looked at Ryan, "Have you caught the four cult deacons leading the team?"
"They took the first step when they discovered that something was not going well, but we have already sent scouts and reconnaissance outside the fortress."
Ryan looked at Kaimon and said, "A dinner will be prepared here later. You can tell us more about the attack on the Demon Kingdom then."
Chapter 17.1 The trap of the Church of Abundance
Hearing about the attack on the Demon Kingdom, Kai Meng frowned slightly. At the beginning, he was afraid of the opposition of these people in the capital of Adili, so he only talked about quelling the chaos, and did not tell all about the follow-up tasks.
Now that I am mentioning this matter in Recapture the Fortress, it is obvious that I am offending others.
But it doesn't matter, he's already like this, and these guys who didn't support him in the first place deserve to end up like this.
As for the dinner party, these guys who have no tomorrow today, just need to control their drinking.
As for the dinner party, there is no need for Kaimon to worry about it. It has been arranged under Ryan's control, and all the good things in the fortress have been moved away through various raids.
Because they were the rescued side, the remaining defenders were treated as servants, objects of contempt and instigation.
Looking at the wine barrels being carried one by one, Alison couldn't help but look at Camon, "Commander, we just captured this fortress, aren't we afraid of the enemy's counterattack?"
"Enemies in the form of clans and tribes do not have such organizational capabilities. It is estimated that the second attack will take at least half a month." Kaimen shook his head slightly, poured himself a glass of wine, raised his glass and said, "And let these things go.
Ryan do it."
"Pap~"
Kemon's wine glass was taken away from him when he was about to drink. He turned around and saw a witch holding the wine glass and saying, "I want to check it."
"Uh" Camon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this, and then pointed to the others, "Why don't they need to check?"
"Those people are not under our protection." The witch replied, and then Camon saw her take out some filthy things and throw them into his wine glass.
"Oh, damn! Are you always so protective?" Camon looked at Alison beside him and frowned.
"There is no such thing, but since they have this technology, let them test it just in case." Alison said with a smile, and then looked at Serena, who was reaching out to break the food on the table.
Eat a little bit by yourself.
"This is also an inspection." Alison added that before Kaimon could speak.
After hearing this, Kai Meng leaned back in his chair and looked up at the sky, "I feel full."
"Commander Kaimon is worthy of being a great noble, and he is so particular about his meals." Several commanders who had been drinking looked over and sighed, "This is the decadence of the nobility. Fortunately, our kingdom has been reorganized.
"
"Don't say that. If it weren't for the decadent nobles and the general consul to negotiate peace, we might still be living in that kind of life." The commanders laughed, and then looked at the defenders who were serving them food and wine, "If you say that, you should represent the royal family.
Even though the Duke of Cammon is in such danger, he didn’t say anything about bringing back the garrison guarding the border. I still admire this."
"But then again." The commander added, "It's no wonder, these people's fighting ability is really poor."
A group of celebrating viscounts mocked the defenders for their disadvantage. The defenders who had been treated as slaves were naturally dissatisfied when they heard this. They wanted to argue but were stopped by their companions.
"Did they think those things would be like this today? Woohoo~" the garrison captain covered his men's mouths, then lowered his head and sneered at the people around him, "Sorry, don't disturb you."
"It doesn't matter. If we can't defend the city, we can't even fight." Kai Meng sighed after hearing this. He looked at the proud viscounts and said, "I'll have to rely on you to attack the Demon Kingdom from now on."
