Chapter 34 Bundak's Pot

"attack!"

Under the strong attack of the Ramirez people, Terry Castle was like pebbles being washed away in the torrent, and it seemed that it would be swallowed by the water in the next second.

This small castle, where only a dozen or so untrained farmers and soldiers were stationed, exploded with extremely strong combat effectiveness. Baron Terry took the lead and fought with the enemy. Every slash with the sharp iron sword in his hand could bring out blood red. As the battle progressed, fewer and fewer soldiers fought side by side with him. The peasants and soldiers who took up arms were the first to collapse. They, who were accustomed to peace, could not adapt to the brutal fighting.

Finally, Terry Castle finally fell. After beheading Terry Carter, Ramirez soldiers swarmed in, but what they got was an empty castle and a few trembling women and children.

The same thing has long been customary in Cork, so the Ramirez soldiers could only escort the women and children out of the castle after swearing unwillingly, and then set fire to the castle under the order of the officer-this is what Oweco made According to the policy, all small castles captured must be destroyed, so as to prevent the Ravana people who are determined to resist taking the opportunity to occupy here after the army leaves, so as to resist.

After clearing Terry Castle, Ramirez's army continued to march towards the city of Mattidot.At the same time, the Ravana army marched along the Broad Stone Road under the leadership of King Halaus, and would soon enter the Margaret Territory.The progress of the war had already been reported here through the fleeing refugees. After learning about the situation in the Margaret Territory, King Halaus could not speak for a long time, and it took a long time to turn into a deep sigh.

Not only King Harlaus, but also all the nobles in the army. Everyone did not expect that MacPherson, Earl of Margaret, would make such a decision to concentrate all his troops to defend the regional capital and give up other places. Will the Kingdom Army help him regain lost ground?
King Harlaus was a little tired, not only because of Earl Margaret's weakness, but also because of the number of Ramirez people.As early as a day ago, his chief spy had reported the enemy's complete quantitative intelligence to him. The Ramirez people were not at a disadvantage in terms of army numbers, on the contrary, they still had a slight advantage.

"Can we win?" King Harlaus looked tired, as if he was asking the military chief Bundak on the side, and he seemed to be asking himself.

"We will definitely win, father." Bandak said firmly, "Don't you value that kid from Winster? He might give you a surprise."

"Or frightened." Bandak added silently in his heart.

"He is your nephew, Bundak." King Harlaus corrected, and then nodded in agreement, "You are right, he may be able to defeat the invasion of Moore pirates by his own strength, maybe he really Give me a surprise."

"Rely on your own strength to defeat the pirate invasion." Bandak thought to himself, no matter how hostile he was to the nephew who robbed his fiefdom, the astonishing speed of the other party's development still made him jealous.

Not only would King Halaus not fully believe the excuse that it was Winster refugees who went to him, but Bundak would not believe it. The large-scale refugee flow would be reported to the court, but in fact even a hair is not No, Richard must have gained strength in other ways.What's more, they have all seen the army soldiers who came with Richard. They are all burly and barbaric, and they don't look like they are from the neighboring country of Winster.

However, Bandak had no way to go to Charlie to get the channel of the sudden army, so he could only pretend to believe his reasons.

Thinking of this, Bandak had an idea in his mind, and he suggested: "Father, you can appoint Richard as the vanguard and let him test the strength of the Ramirez people..."

"Are you trying to kill him?" Before Bundak could finish his sentence, Harolds gave him a hard look and reprimanded him, "I know you have a heart to seal Cuban Island to Richard, but Now that we are fighting the Ramirez people, I want you to stop any small actions that damage the strength of our army."

"Understood, father." The reprimanded Bundak responded with a low eyebrow, but King Harolds did not notice a trace of resentment flashing in his lowered eyes.

Seeing Bundak bowing his head and admitting his mistake, King Harolds seemed a little happy. He reached out and patted his youngest son on the shoulder, saying: "When the Ramirez people are driven back to their hometown and the Kok land is recovered, as long as If you want, I can give you the unowned Cork collar. With the power of victory, I believe that group of nobles will not have any objections."

"Thank you, father." Bandak thanked quickly. It seemed that he was persuaded by King Harold's promise, but no one knew what he actually thought.

However, perhaps it was Bundak's words that reminded Harolds, and on the second day, Richard received an order from King Harolds.

"Let me take my own cavalry into the Mafugat Territory first to investigate the situation there?"

Richard looked at the messenger who came to convey the order with a complicated expression, and couldn't help asking: "Is it really His Majesty's decision?"

"Yes, but His Majesty still allows you to retreat depending on the situation. It's just to detect the strength of the Ramirez people, and you don't need to fight them." The orderly said, as if he suddenly remembered something, looked around and reminded in a low voice Said: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness Bandak, the military chief, proposed a similar proposal to His Majesty..."

"It's Bundak again?" Richard was a little annoyed. He might have felt a little guilty for robbing Bundak's fief, but now everything has become more at ease.He took a deep breath, kept this grudge in his heart, and said to the messenger who kindly reminded him: "Thank you, go back and report to His Majesty."

"Your Highness Richard, please be careful." Richard's words of thanks moved the orderly a little bit, this was the first nobleman he met who would thank the humble orderly.

Richard didn't know that his casual and subconscious thanks would make the orderly think so much, he nodded to let the orderly leave, and then turned his attention to the army that came with him.King Harlaus's order only said that he should bring cavalry, so he could only bring the early general's guard and Nordic battleaxe cavalry.

In order to prevent any accidents here during the mission, Richard named Condra to stay and command the Danish infantry, and then asked the cavalry to prepare rations and leave the army to enter the Margaret Territory first.
