Chapter 302 Conquering Pravia
Continuing from the previous article, when Magnus's messenger arrived at Fort Buck and sent a message to Gerard von Bassheim, the deputy commander of the Knights' affairs temporarily, and the Knights' Council, they only gathered to discuss for a while, and agreed to Mag Nuss' request, after careful consideration, they decided to use almost all the remaining troops in Fort Buck to assist their commander. After statistics, they finally dispatched two brigades of Teutonic knights, which happened to be two brigades of Krus Nessiten's entourage (this is not a system of arms, but a troop independently developed by the Teutonic Knights, it can also be understood as the Knechteng's squire cavalry in the Teutonic Elegy, but the soldiers of the two brigades are mixed. Qi, three companies are cavalry, and the rest are infantry, a cavalry company is composed of 60 people, and an infantry company is 100 people).

And commanding this force with 1480 sergeants is the deputy commander Gerard von Baselheim and the treasurer Karl von Zawam. Yes, but he was in the city of Ravana, and before he could get back in time, he was commanded by the deputy commander. In addition, the quartermaster elected by the knights was responsible for staying behind and raising the supplies needed for the army to go out.

After learning that the Knights agreed to participate in the battle, Magnus was delighted. He then proposed to Queen Stephanie, who served as the temporary regent of the kingdom, to mobilize the levies in the territory. After hearing the reasons stated by Magnus, , so he agreed and issued a mobilization order to all parts of the Nord royal family's direct jurisdiction - mobilizing only within the Nord territory was also Magnus's proposal after consideration. Judging from the current war, there is The army provided by the Teutonic Knights plus the troops recruited by the Nordland are completely sufficient. Any more will only consume the army's military supplies in vain.

There is another point that Magnus did not explain to Stephanie, because he was worried that he would displease Stephanie if he said it-a little more troops like those provided by the Teutonic Knights would bring great benefits to Richard. Great help, but like those mobilized conscripts, the fighting power is really ugly, and it can only add chaos to Richard.

……

On the other hand, the news of the defeat of the coalition army also spread to most of the Vardasia Peninsula following the steps of bards and traveling merchants. The strength of the Winster Kingdom also shocked several countries, and as time went on, More and more details have also spread to the courts of these countries. The nobles and courtiers were amazed by the force of the Winsters, and the ladies and princesses were obsessed with the heroic deeds of Richard and his generals—the The general is Toolagris, the Danish commander who conquered the kingdom of Delj.

For a time, most of the Valdasia Peninsula turned its attention to the Pravia battlefield. A large number of spies were sent here to watch the movements of Richard and his First Legion. Everyone wanted to know. After the Kingdom of Delgis and the Kingdom of Pravia, will Richard still march westward and swing the butcher knife at the country that offended him.

But those countries that are in a state of war with the Kingdom of Winster are panicking at the moment, especially the Kingdom of Swachic, where the king has been captured, and the Principality of Rogel, where the prince has no news. war.The nobles of the Kingdom of Swachic quarreled all day long about whether to seek peace from Richard. No one offered to pay the ransom to redeem the king first, because the ransom was too high, and it hurt them.

As for the Principality of Rogel, after learning that the eldest son who had been deliberately trying to kill him was missing, the Grand Duke Ragnar almost toasted with his cronies, but he still pretended to be distraught. At the court meeting, he swore in front of everyone that he would fight the Winsters and avenge Randall, but then he changed the subject and proposed to send his second son Ragnar Jr. You can see how much he prefers the second son because he named his son) as the crown prince. Now, although the courtiers feel that the grand duke is doing something unethical, they still have no reason to refuse, so they can only agree together.

As for the other six countries, although they were also worried because of the collapse of the coalition forces, they were not worried that Richard would be able to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger and sweep the eleven countries in one day, so they just gathered their domestic troops and built fortresses on the border. Waiting for Richard to call at the door—no, to be precise, they didn't believe that Richard could hit the door at all, and conquering a country is not so fast.

And this is indeed the case, but Richard has not encountered any trouble yet. He led an army into the Hagensen Territory, as if he had entered no one's land, and directly killed the regional capital of Hagentingburg. The enemy, the soldiers guarding the city were terrified, and Earl Hagensen was so frightened that his legs softened and he sat on the ground. He originally thought that Richard had experienced the battle with the coalition forces and Suken City. After the siege, the military strength will be greatly reduced, and he can also use the strong castle to defend, but the reality slapped him hard.

"Surrender... we surrender, open the city gate...surrender..." Earl Nemanya said tremblingly, before his words fell, the surrounding soldiers ran towards the city gate like crazy, scrambling to open it The city gate surrendered to the Winsters outside the city who were preparing to set up artillery.

The city officially surrendered after only "resisting" for less than 5 minutes.

After the surrender of Hagentenberg, the minor nobles in Hagensen also surrendered one after another. When the last flag of the Kingdom of Pravia fell, the Kingdom of Pravia, which had ruled here for hundreds of years, came to an end. Both the territory and the citizens were merged into the Kingdom of Winster, and the original feudal system may not change, but the shadow of the former kingdom will also fade with the passage of time.

After occupying Hagentinburg, Richard "generously" did not pursue the Earl of Nemanya's fault, but this does not mean that Nemanya can continue to sit on the earl's throne safely. Under Richard's gesture, The soldiers "searched" a large number of criminal evidence from the earl's castle, and then Richard used these criminal evidence to deprive Nemanya of his title and sent someone to "escort" his family to deport.

The Earl of Nemanya has been crying out for injustice, how miserable he is, but no one cares anymore, and yes, who cares about the incompetence of a loser?When Nemanya's family is driven away, without the protection of the soldiers, they will face the pursuit of the enemy - the enemy established by Ren at this moment incarnates the god of death, and will punish this person who has lost power and protection. The loser swings the butcher knife.

All of this has nothing to do with Richard, because after he conquered the Kingdom of Pravia, he decided to temporarily suspend his westward march and wait for Magnus to bring new reinforcements before he marched westward—before that, he The newly conquered region of Pravia must be governed first.
