total conquest

Chapter 18
"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts." Zhang Hao didn't know how long he had slept, and finally woke up from the pain.

"Slow down, Your Highness?"

"Axi, my chest hurts so much." Zhang Hao covered his chest and sat up slowly, "Where is Thain?"

Osses was silent for a while, "Your Highness was taken away, we are late"

Zhang Hao knocked down the bedpost hard, wanting to vent, but in the end he could only let out a sigh. Zhang Hao, who was still a rookie with the Lieyang Throne, felt powerless. He couldn't just move a chair wherever he went. If there is a chair, it must have the Solar Knights.

"Did you find Sion's wife?" Talabek already knew that something was wrong with Sion. Take the latest example. When Sion re-purchased horses for the Riding Sun Knights, he chose the military camp instead of other places. Deliberately increasing the garrison's resentment towards the Solar Knights, after discussions between Osses and Feuerbach, they decided to let Zhang Hao take the initiative to attack, just to let Thain leak some lies, but he did not expect the other party to have such a big plan.

Osses didn't seem to hear Zhang Hao's question, and bowed his head in silence.

"I see, let's go"

"Your Highness, the lord is waiting for you at the lord's mansion. The recent situation is very bad!"

"I'll go, how many days have I slept?"

"Three days, Your Highness"

"Damn, what a delay." Zhang Hao grabbed a piece of clothing and ran out, "Osses, borrow your horse!"

------

Zhang Hao did something embarrassing in Feuerbach's room before he went to Bige Village. Zhang Hao changed his clothes in front of Feuerbach, Deceiver Armor (rare), Deceiver Talisman (rare), two seemingly tattered pieces of equipment are jointly manufactured by top gray mages and emerald mages (life). None and Dispel.When the two are activated together, Zhang Hao is in a state of suspended animation, and the black magic attached to Isabella's sword is also dispelled. It seems that the mages who made this equipment are very powerful, and no one can dispel the black magic. Both can be dispelled, but unfortunately both are disposable equipment.

"His Royal Highness, you are here"

Zhang Hao rushed to the city lord's mansion "What's the situation now? I saw a lot more patrols in the city along the way."

"Your Highness, the situation is very critical now. They have already started to attack. The imperial city is besieged again, Glenburgh has fallen, and Essen has also been breached by vampires. Two full-stack legions have appeared in the direction of Heguig, and one is from Hawke Province. The other one is the province of Oster, and their envoy's request to attack the vampire territory from our province was rejected by me."

"Glennburg? How is it possible? Where did the rebels get so many troops?" Zhang Hao basically put all his guards in Glennburg, as well as elite troops like Roald's Sword. Glenburgh, Karl will definitely send troops. If the rebels attack Altdorf, Glenburgh will attack from the rear. This is the tactic discussed by Zhang Hao and Karl before coming here.

"It's Skarsnik, Your Highness. According to the time when the news came from the important town of Koppelbad in our province, Xie Yue and the rebels attacked at the same time, so it can basically be concluded that Thain had already rebelled at that time. , and he went all the way to Rick Province for four months, enough for him to contact anyone he wanted to contact. Now there are at least two full staff around Altdorf, but I don’t know how many casualties your Royal Highness your personal guards caused to Xie Yue. , but I believe that the army in front of Altdorf will only be more or less."

"How many people can our boat carry?"

"Your Highness, you don't have to think about the river transport. With Middenheim's long-term planning, why did you let us go by the river? On the morning of the second day after attacking you, all of Middenheim's merchant ships were damaged on the river. , without a month, the boat can’t be towed back”

"I still underestimate them. They want to usurp power. I don't dare to go to Liangshan without any real ability."

"Your Highness, where is Mount Liang?"

"Don't pay attention to these details. I've been talking about it for a long time. Is there no good news?" Zhang Hao sat on the chair a little decadently, and Zhang Hao's mood fell into a trough due to the feeling of powerlessness.

"Your Highness, I have summoned all the cavalry and horses outside the city, and ordered the garrison of Copebad to prepare supplies through the magic crystal. The entire province has also issued a regiment recruitment order. The only hope now is you, Your Highness."

"How to say?"

"The border corps in the direction of Essen cannot be transferred back, and the defenders of Talabheim do not dare to transfer. In their eyes, Your Highness has been killed by a vampire. Now the opponent's layout has restrained all our organized corps. and generals. Now the only people who can quickly support Altdorf are the cavalry and the garrison in front of Kotbad. Fortunately, our province of Talabek has always been a cavalry-heavy province, and there are many horses in the surrounding villages. Although they are not as good as war horses, But it’s not bad to let the army hurry, but there is still a lack of a general who can lead the army to fight, Your Highness.”

After listening to Feuerbach's report, Zhang Hao's dim eyes gradually regained their original expression.

"Besides the [-] Lieyang Knights, how many cavalry can we mobilize?"

"The city defense, the garrison, and the retired veterans and new recruits, all together have one and a half units, the 840th Imperial Cavalry, 240 people, the 420th Pioneer Knights, 400 people, the [-]th Pistol Cavalry, [-] people, plus His Highness Your Knights of the Sun, we can now mobilize [-] cavalry, each equipped with three horses, and rush to Kotbad day and night. The defenders there also have some mortars (large mortars). Your Highness, I I believe that if you take them by surprise, you will be able to catch them off guard."

"Feuerbach, what did you do under the late Emperor?"

"Oh, Your Highness, I'm just the vanguard officer of the late emperor. I've fought a lot of battles, so I naturally understand a little bit more."

Can a vanguard officer also be a lord?Forget it, anyway, Feuerbach is on his side now, let's ask in detail after Karl is rescued.

"When can we leave?"

"It will take some time to gather the horses. Your Highness, you can only set off at night."

"Okay, Feuerbach, you must guard this province of Talabek!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will wait for your victory to return." This is the first time since the establishment of the empire that the Lieyang Throne and the Emperor's Throne have been separated, and no one can clearly see the future situation.

After Zhang Hao left, Feuerbach still felt uneasy. After thinking for a moment, he decided to send the last intermediate light mage in Talabek Province to Zhang Hao. He hoped that Zhang Hao would come back alive. unrivaled.

------

At this time, except for the imperial city of Altdorf, the rest of the Rick province fell into the hands of the rebels again, and Glenburgh became a ruin. The goblins would not be polite to humans. They were influenced by the green-skinned orcs. Vicious and inhumane, only profit can drive them. Skarsnik completely destroyed the entire Glennburg based on intelligence. Those who could be taken away were taken as laborers to build cities, and those who could not be taken away were directly Killed and dried to make food, the whole city was burned to the ground, and only a small number of people fled to Koppelbad.Skarsnik did not go to the siege of Altdorf this time. According to the plan, he only needed to ambush between Glenburg and Koppelbad to prevent anyone from penetrating into the rear of the siege army. With a small branch of the Riker River, it is impossible to sneak attack.According to the deal, after Altdorf was captured, Coppelbad was the final payment to Xie Yue from the rebels, while Grunborg was the deposit in advance.
