That's very badass

Chapter 125
After more than a month of marching, most of the people were exhausted, especially those pampered nobles. Of course, there were also some strong and strong people, such as Roland and some knights.

There are few family members who are excellent in martial arts, because their ability to lead troops means that they are not marginal figures in the family.

Naturally, they don't need to work so hard to learn martial arts, there will be hard-working skills that are not popular in the family, they only need to be in charge of commanding.

This also led to the nobles who were called up, most of them came cursing and made a lot of noise.

Those who didn't know thought it was the enemy's attack. This can be seen from most of the soldiers who walked out of the camp, and their military literacy can be seen.

When they approached His Majesty's tent, there was no sound soon, and they only dared to continue complaining in their hearts.

After all, they are just family members, and even their patriarchs dare not do this kind of behavior, and of course they don't dare.

Moreover, the meeting in the middle of the night must have something important to happen, and they still know which is more important.

The king's tent not only represents the face of the king, but also assumes the responsibility of discussing matters.

It has a large scale and is not easy to build, so there is no embarrassing thing that someone can't get in.

The nobles filed in. They first said hello to His Majesty, then went directly to their seats to prepare, and then started whispering, guessing what happened today.

Looking at the tired people, His Majesty Quesnel rubbed his head, and when he regained consciousness, he said:
"According to the scouts' investigation, the city guarded by Marquis Leete has already fallen. Facing the siege of more troops, it is estimated that our southern coalition forces have been completely wiped out.

Alright, alright, be quiet, be quiet, I'm telling you to be quiet, don't you understand? "

Obviously this news shocked the audience, only Earl Roland was very calm, because he delivered this news to His Majesty.

As His Majesty cursed loudly, everyone saw the ferocity on his face, and then they became quiet.

"Marquis Lite, a damned idiot, actually lost the city before we arrived. It was a city guarded by 30 troops, which was a full quarter of our kingdom's strength.

And now it's asking us to pay for its incompetence, I've had enough of your idiots. "

The crowd just watched His Majesty's venting, and did not make any sound. At the same time, they were ashamed of Marquis Lite's incompetence.

Although they don't know how long the Marquis of Lite has persisted, it has only been two months since the Kingdom of Hastings got the news of their gathering.

Even if the enemy army had already made preparations, it was still 30 troops defending the city.

How could it fall so quickly!

After clearing up his emotions, His Majesty Quesnel continued: "And we don't know the exact number of the Hastings Kingdom's army, they are called an army of one million, and we are also called an army of one million.

The most important thing now is to find out the approximate size of their army, so that we can decide what to do next. "

Such clueless speculation made His Majesty Quesnel very irritated.

"Your Majesty, you are right. We really cannot rush this matter."

"Then what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that we should repair first, and at the same time spread scouts to monitor every move around, after all we have marched for a long time, and everyone is exhausted.

Our first priority now is to restore combat power, while digging trenches and defenses, and fortifying our camp for the ensuing enemy response.

Everyone, don't forget our original intention of coming here. We are here to resist the invasion of the enemy. Surrendering without a fight will not only cause a stain on our reputation, but also make the enemy think that we are lambs to be slaughtered, thus giving up peace. idea.

Everyone should know that peace has always been fought. Of course, if you are all willing to cede territory and beg for mercy, then I can't help it.

We have no choice but to choose to fight, and they must have paid a terrible price for being able to capture a city garrisoned by 30 troops so quickly.

Their current strength may be smaller than ours. Don't be fooled by their appearance. The outcome of this battle is yet to be known. "

It can be said that Roland was the first to get this news, and his situation at that time was similar to that of the nobles present, only feeling his mind buzzing.

But now after such a long time, he has calmed down a long time ago, and threw out all his analysis.

Roland's words dispelled the dark clouds hanging over their heads and won the approval of everyone.

They all realized that no matter how useless Marquis Lite was, he would still be defending the city, and attacking the city would often cause several times the number of casualties, let alone such a quick capture.

At this time, the enemy must have suffered huge losses, and his muscles and bones are already broken. He may have to mobilize more troops from home to help.

And this is not a one-time thing, and it may also alarm the other two countries and launch a siege against them. Perhaps this is their chance to annihilate Hastings' army.

"Earl Roland is right, the fact is that, no matter what, we have reasons to fight, not to mention their losses must be huge.

Considering the possibility that they may mobilize large troops from the country, we will rest here for three days, and at the same time strengthen the defense of the camp to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp.

After the repairs are complete, we will set off with a large army to teach the nobles of the Hastings Kingdom a lesson. "

His Majesty Quesnel knew that there must be many wall-riding factions among the nobles at the moment, so he immediately issued an order to wait here and prepare for the decisive battle. At the same time, he insisted on Roland's guess to prevent the nobles from having other ideas.

Only then did the nobles realize that the noble who spoke before did not know him, but what surprised them was that he was still an earl. Could it be that he was a pioneering noble?They all began to ask who this Count Roland was.

When they learned from His Majesty that Earl Roland was really a pioneering nobleman, incredible expressions appeared on their faces.

They all lamented "shit luck" and rebuked Viscount Whitnet in their hearts for not inviting them.

As for Viscount Whitnet's many invitations, they really forgot, because the information at that time was worthless to them.

After dispelling the confusion in their minds, their heads suddenly became active, and they began to analyze the news in it.

Soon someone raised a question to verify the identity of the scout, and then the scout was summoned to verify his identity.

Among them, someone made a statement about whether this might be a fake news, and the news that this scout was bribed, otherwise how could he come back alone, and immediately received a "black eye" reward from a noble next to him.

Facing this very hurtful and insulting fist, the beaten nobleman was certainly not to be outdone, and the two of them immediately staged a martial arts show in the king's tent.

Everyone laughed, and some even booed among them.

This kind of fire regardless of the occasion made Roland very disgusted, and before His Majesty could speak, he was fully armed and pushed away from the crowd.

He stepped forward and immediately controlled the two idiots one by one, and threw them to the ground.

Many people watched this scene with their eyelids twitching. Such strength was a bit exaggerated, and they immediately distanced themselves from Earl Roland. They didn't want to be affected by Chi Yu.

His Majesty Quesnel glanced at the scout with red eyes, his chapped lips, and the soldier's badge he was holding tightly in his hand. He immediately stepped off the throne and helped him up at the same time.

The scout immediately shed tears of emotion, which made His Majesty Quesnel scold the idiot in his heart, and at the same time handed it over to the side affairs officer, saying that all those who have made merit will be rewarded as they should.

Then he turned around, scolded the two heirs of the family, then drove them out of the tent, and then announced the end of the meeting. He was really disappointed with these people.

He really dared to speak out what he thought, and he was not afraid of the soldiers' chilling.

The enemy must have a purpose for passing false information, and he really couldn't think of the use of the enemy's false information for capturing the city.

Apart from slowing down their support speed, this will not have any other effect. In the face of such information, they will obviously confirm it again.

This is obviously very easy to obtain information. No matter how the enemy blocks it, there will always be fish that slip through the net on the southern Great Plains.

They can definitely distinguish the authenticity of this information slowly while marching, and after arriving at this position, they will definitely make adjustments to restore their military strength, instead of rushing directly to die.

Then the fact is that the enemy has already captured the city, no matter how big or small their losses are, they need to cover up this information, and even use intelligence agencies to ambush them.

After they left, everyone also figured out the reason behind it. They began to implement the military order from His Majesty, and strengthened the defense while rectifying the soldiers, in order to deal with possible sneak attacks from the enemy. After all, they can be said to be extremely fragile now.

The scouts were responsible for covering their own area, and also shouldered the task of spying on the enemy's intelligence. They began to confront each other on this wide plain in small groups.

Most of them died in obscurity, and no one picked up their bodies.

Because each of them has their own responsible areas and tasks, as long as they don't come back by the time, they will be regarded as dead and the team will be sent again.

They may seem inconspicuous, but they play a vital role in the army.

As the armies of the two sides continued to approach, the two sides sent more scouts to test each other, and their sheltered areas began to overlap, and the scouts launched a more intense confrontation.

They could already see each other, and then both sides began to deploy their armies, preparing for a possible attack by the other side.

It's just that neither of the two sides marching has the idea of ​​fighting now.

As the military formations of both sides stopped at a relatively safe distance of [-] kilometers, they were able to witness the whole picture of each other, from the middle to the end of the line of sight, they could not see the border of the entire formation.

They are like two legendary creatures, lying on the ground, and the scouts are their eyes, and all small movements will be invisible within the sight of the opposite side.

The auxiliary soldiers took the lead in setting up their camps at the beginning. They took out the refusal horses that accompanied the army all the way, began to place them behind the army formation, and began to dig trenches to hinder the enemy's cavalry.

Then they began to nail pieces of giant wood into the ground, and began to build their camps. Hundreds of thousands of people started working together, and the camps of both sides were quickly nailed to their respective places at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In addition to leaving the necessary soldiers to monitor, the soldiers on both sides began to retreat into the camp and began to repair.

Even at this time, the tasks of the scouts not only did not become easier, but became more dangerous. Not only did they have to face the enemy's scouts, but they were also responsible for investigating the reality of the enemy camp and their possible movements.

As the two sides set up camp, neither of them took the lead in launching an attack. They all hoped that the scouts would be the first to discover the other's flaws and loopholes, and take advantage of them so that they could defeat each other in one fell swoop.

It's just that the possibility of this is too small, because they all know that this is a war that will determine their fate, and they must deal with it with the most cautious attitude.

The enemy in front of them constantly provoked their nerves, and every noble could no longer sleep peacefully.

They began to divide into two shifts, patrolling their respective camps day and night, and looked at everything around them with a picky attitude.

The soldiers were also facing the pressure from the nobles, and of course it was more about their own lives. They didn't have any complaints about this and faithfully carried out all the orders.

Of course, Roland couldn't sleep well at this time. It was the first time he participated in such a large-scale battle. He could even feel the pressure from the opposing army, which made him feel that even if he became an earl, he would not be able to sleep well. Such an illusion.

Although he believed in the soldiers under his command, he could play very little role in such a large-scale battle, and it was more necessary for everyone to work together, but he was not optimistic about it.

Because these days, he can already say that he has a basic understanding of those nobles, but he can't do anything. In fact, even if he is asked to command, he can't do better. He also has no experience in large-scale battles .

Therefore, he is willing to listen to other people's opinions, implement what is useful, and of course choose to ignore what is useless.
This was a competition of wills. Compared to Hastings' army, which had already been proven, they captured a city guarded by 30 people, while Rhodes' army's will had yet to be considered.

After one patrol, Roland returned to his tent, listening to the crackling sound of the brazier, he knew that the real decisive battle was not far away.

Such non-stop confrontation will consume a huge amount of energy for the soldiers on both sides, and the longer the time drags on, the soldiers will relax instead, and even cause the spread of war weariness.
