King’s Kingdom

"Speed ​​up! If we arrive one day earlier, we will have more hope of victory!" Theodosius rode on horseback and kept urging. The anxiety in his heart made him feel very insecure.

The entire team had a lot of livestock, and every soldier was assigned at least one donkey, mule, draught horse or pack horse. Theodosius had done everything he could to increase the marching speed of the team.

"Your Majesty, we still have 180 kilometers to reach the enemy's position. According to the current marching speed, it only takes four days to arrive. There is no need to let the soldiers speed up, they have to keep more. The physical strength to fight the enemy!"

Theodosius looked at the panting mounts under the crotch of the soldiers, took a deep breath, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, nodded and said, "Okay, it's because I haven't thought about it, just keep the current marching speed!"

Theodosius has always been kind to correct advice. The memory of his previous life has brought him many qualities, and being able to listen to advice is one of them.

In fact, the marching speed of these warriors has also been close to the limit. At this speed, it may still hold up for humans, but for the draught horses and mules that the mules and horses under their crotch have already transported, it is true an enormous burden.

If this goes on for at most four or five days, the animals will fall to their death. The reason is that the long-distance running ability and recovery ability of this group of animals are not as good as those of humans, but for the short-term marching speed, Theodosius had to choose to use them.

For him and the levies, this is also another way of breaking the boat. In addition to marching, the livestock used for transporting supplies has reached more than 4,000, and the horses under the soldiers' crotch are removed from their own. , Theodosius also took out more than 3,000 horses to fill the army.

It can be said that nine-tenths of the livestock resources belonging to the royal family are already in use, except for plow horses, and most of them are marching horses that are about to be scrapped.

Theodosius marched forward silently without saying a word, and the entire team was in the same state as him. No one chatted with his comrades beside him. Although he was riding on the back of livestock, such a fast march was not too small for his body. The burden of saying more words is a consumption of physical strength.

Full of resentment for the enemy's invasion of our territory and the pursuit of honor, the entire team was too quiet, and the marching speed even quietly climbed a little again.

At this time, in the south of the Lanyin Kingdom, at the junction of the Northern Empire and the Lanyin Kingdom, the Potska Plain was already full of endless gray and white military tents, and the simple fences were erected on the periphery of the camp. As the only line of defense, the poor are tangled together.

Several sentries were lying on the ground like a mess of mud, their bodies were covered with mud, and a few leather kettles were randomly thrown on the ground.

An officer came over and picked up a person, two loud slaps slapped on the face, the soldier finally came to his senses.

When he was full of alcohol, when he saw his superior, most of his drunkenness disappeared immediately, and he said nervously, "Hey... I'm just..."

"Wake them up for me! A bunch of stupid dogs who only know how to drink! Next time I'll pour hot water down your throat!"

After waiting for the officer to leave angrily, the group of soldiers supported each other and walked towards their tent, muttering softly as they walked, "It's just licking the feet of the adults, I really don't know what to look like, we are like this. Can't many people clean up the little Lanyin Kingdom? A trashy snack that only uses the theme!"

"Bang!" The officer returned to the military tent and angrily threw the whip on the simple table, which attracted the attention of the "roommate".

"What's the matter, Huskat? Who made you angry?"

"It's the damned **** under my command! I really don't know what the grown-up does for him to keep these rice buckets! If you can't drink in battle, it's a top two! I sent them to guard on duty, and they were drunk! If the enemy is in front of the enemy at this time. What if you come to sneak attack?"

"Oh, don't think so much about Huskat, not to mention how far the gang of self-willed northern barbarians in the Lanyin Kingdom are from us, even if they really arrive, do they dare to take the initiative in front of our army of 30,000 people? Attack?"

"This is actually a war that must be won. The population of the Rhine Kingdom is only so small. Since they settled in the north forty years ago, they have lost their threat to us. If it weren't for His Majesty's insistence on conquering the Rhine Kingdom. , I guess no one wants to start this war!"

"So, this war can be seen as an opportunity for people like you and me to make achievements!" He said in a low voice: "Otherwise, do you think there will be so many nobles who are not usually involved in the military to join in? They just want a piece of the pie, and whether it's the distribution of spoils or political capital, this war is the biggest shortcut!"

"That's why!" The officer raised his glass, which contained a fuchsia wine, and handed it to Huskat, smiling and saying, "Enjoy this war to the fullest, you will get everything you deserve!"

Hearing these words, Huskat couldn't help widening his eyes. He took the wine glass like a corpse and stared at the crystal clear wine inside, dazed.

Among the largest and most luxurious tents in the camp, Skoll II, the emperor of the Northern Empire, who had just succeeded to the throne for a year, was holding a simple banquet.

Said to be simple, but in reality, the venue is relatively simple, and other various hardware facilities and dishes are not bad at all.

Hundreds of people gathered in this semi-fixed tent without being crowded, the burning oil lamps exuded bursts of fragrance, and all kinds of delicious delicacies beyond most people's thoughts were placed on the dining table. There is a seductive scent under the seasoning of spices.

Raising a wine glass made of pure gold, King Skrein II with a big yellow beard was like a proud golden lion, and said confidently: "Today's banquet is a little rudimentary, but don't worry, in half a month. We will hold a grander banquet in Lanyin City! At that time, the resources of the Lanyin Kingdom will be used again by us. I really hope that the gang of self-deprecated northern barbarians still retain their eating habits in the empire! "

"Hahaha, I'm afraid not. The northern barbarians have been there for more than 40 years, and they have long become stupid like goblins! They can't understand the food culture and prosperity of our empire!"

Skrein II's words caused a burst of laughter among the nobles and military commanders, who expressed their contempt for the Lanyin Kingdom from the bottom of their hearts.

On the other side of the continent, a troop of cavalry was marching rapidly, each of them carrying five to six horses. When a warhorse was close to collapse, another one was replaced.

"His Royal Highness! We don't have many horses left! Do we really need to maintain such a speed?"

"Maintain the speed of the march! In this situation, who can stand up to help him except me?" The owner of the voice was very firm and did not waver at all.
