Proof of the Sun King

After a face-to-face interview, Callard and Thuras took a day off, and the next day began to gather troops.

Ryan named this army the Northern Front of Brittany.

The Northern Front Army began to gradually concentrate its troops. The dukes of Brittany sent the strongest elite infantry regiments they had just formed to fight under Lane's command. Most of these regiments were 300-500 people, relatively common The number of infantry regiments is relatively small, but almost all of them have participated in the Bafeng Mountain Expedition. At the same time, there are many elites who also participated in the Obiang Expedition. They gathered to form an array, fully armed, magnificent, and murderous. , which made people look sideways, and also gave Callard a lot of confidence in his heart.

Of course, this group of troops adds up to a lot of expenses. Fortunately, Ryan is rich, and coupled with the small scale, the dukes have also begun to realize that the kingdom of knights is mainly cavalry, but an elite infantry is essential, so it is also necessary. Are willing to pay.

The first to arrive was the gang of rogues of the Boar Leon. This legion was disgusted with Duke Theodoric. Why? Because Duke Theodoric was really bad, and he never cared much about the life and death of his subjects, these soldiers deeply hated Duke Theodoric, but the Duke finally relied on the critical moment to return to kill the vampire. The pirate commander thus saved the duchy and won back a little prestige. In the end, the duke and the soldiers who returned from the expedition to the Eight Peaks reluctantly reached a compromise. The duke would pay half of the military expenses for them and allow them to recruit new soldiers from serfs and freemen. The idiot rogues are free to leave the principality to participate in the war or accept commissions, as long as they return when the principality is in danger.

Then arrived the Palaon Swift Army, an infantry regiment known for their fast movement and precise shooting in the mountains, wearing chain armor, adept at fighting with muskets and hard bows, and very good at field and defensive warfare.

Then came the Mannann Guards of Poldro, the Unicorn Guards from Winford, and the Red Dragon Guards from Bastogne. These armies have also been tried and tested and can deal with any difficulties calmly. Fighting elite.

After gathering these armies, Callard then had to face a large group of ranger knights sent by the knight nobles of the South.

The ranger knights in Brittany generally have three characteristics. The first is that they are young and reckless, and they are too ambitious. There is a danger of morale collapse.

Most of these ranger knights have not become official knights for more than ten years. Their hearts have long been filled with the blood of making achievements and the desire for the Holy Grail, especially in recent years, Brittany has abundant martial arts. Even the battle is won, so the brains of the ranger knights are also covered with blood.

It is the autumn harvest season recently. Everyone is busy with the autumn harvest. The knights and knights are strictly ordered not to affect the autumn harvest. The opportunity for promotion made the great nobles very troublesome. Ryan's proposal was in the hands of the dukes, and everyone almost couldn't wait to tell the ranger knights to let them go to Karad to concentrate.

The ranger knights in the south gathered together, counting the number of knights who came in a few days, more than 5,000 people. Callard saw this scene as big as a fight, but the Holy Grail of the Sanctuary was helpless. It took a few days to screen out more than 1,000 people through certain criteria, and then set off quickly, planning to go north along the canal.

In September, during the autumn harvest season, on the transport ship, Callard, Turas, and Beria stood on the deck, watching the coming and going of the Landuin Grand Canal, the bustling ships and the lines along both sides of the canal. Dense villages, towns and even castles, Turas sighed towards Callard: "Landuin Grand Canal, this is the first phase completed, it is simply a miracle! The miracle that the lady bestowed on Britannia!"

"Yeah, since the Grand Canal, the cost of transportation has been greatly reduced. The river that runs through the north and the south irrigates and communicates the entire kingdom. Affected by the canal, there have been more than a dozen towns and hundreds of towns along the river. Village." Callard also sighed: "It's really the lifeline of the kingdom."

"Such a big project can't be done without certain determination and ability." Turas sighed. The Holy Grail Knight looked at the clear sky in the distance. The autumn sky was clear and less cloudy, and there were many wild geese. Flying from the north to the south: "I really can't imagine how your Majesty came up with the Bafengshan national debt and the canal national debt."

"Great people are always different. Your Majesty is the great savior bestowed by the lady to Brittany. It is not surprising that he has any strange ideas. What we have to do is to fully understand his meaning and implement it. "Beria, wearing a Brittanian uniform but wearing the medal of Lieutenant General Kislev on his chest, looks a little nondescript but very imposing, and at the same time a little gloomy, which makes Callard and Tula. Stou was not very comfortable, but they soon noticed that Beria was carrying a slightly fatter, somewhat unnatural officer Kislev behind his back: "Who is this?"

"This is General Meretskov, the acting commander of the Ugor Legion that I appointed." Beria calmly introduced: "I am not an officer who is good at commanding, and I have never felt that I am. The Meretskov is a tried and tested officer, who was a general and chief of staff under the reign of the former Tsar Boris Bokaha, who defeated the Beastman army outside the city of Prager and became the leader of the army. He drew up the military plan for the war in which Rees won the title of Red Tsar."

"Good to meet, General Meretskov." Callard stretched out his hand, and the Ugor officer smiled cautiously, then took a step back and stepped back behind Beria: " Hello, Your Excellency Callard, Your Excellency Turas, it is an honor to meet you."

Beria smiled gloomily at the corner of his mouth, and this General Meretskov actually ended his brilliant deeds.

Later, after the heroic death of Red Tsar Boris in the troll country, he fell out of favor. Later in the Winter War, Kislev suffered heavy losses, and Meretskov, who was involved in the formulation of strategic plans, was also implicated, and he was arrested by Cheka. He was arrested and tortured in prison, and a leg was broken, forcing him to admit that he was influenced by Chaos and made an agreement with the barbarians, and he was the culprit of huge losses.

Fortunately, there were many cases of Kislev after that. In addition, this guy has always had a low-key reputation and everyone forgot about him. This guy had to spend several years in prison, until recently Beria suddenly realized that he was in military command. Due to the lack of talent, as a former Cheka member, he remembered the excellent commander who is still in prison, and took the initiative to report to Ryan, asking for a way to get him out, and Ryan approved.

After that, the matter was very simple. It was nothing more than squatting up and down, trying to put money in, plus his contact with the Cheka warden Bruna, Beria spent less than 500 gold crowns to successfully create a prison fight. events, managed to figure out the general.

Several years in prison have taught General Meretskov to be cautious, obedient and approachable. Since he was rescued by Beria, he is very grateful, and he will discuss and report with Beria at the first time. .

Callard also saw the state of the general. The Holy Grail and Meletskov chatted for a while and immediately felt the uniqueness of the other party's tactical plan and strategic vision. Callard felt a little uncomfortable. , he thought to himself that the tsar is really not good at employing people! This is completely different from Ryan. Such an excellent general would have been tortured to be so cautious and not dare to speak loudly. Where is the elegance and pride of being a general?

The ship moved on and took a week to reach the Grismore River in Mousillon, where Callard had assembled the Mousillon Coldstream Guards and Lyonne Cecil Ruf Ambition. group.

By the way, Urban, the chief engineer of the second workshop of the Musilon Gun Factory, also came out to meet Beria and others. The Musilon Gun Factory provided twenty-four artillery pieces for the Northern Front Army, including eight Shining Suns. Rocket artillery, eight dwarf organ cannons, five heavy cannons, and three special mortars. Chief Engineer Urban improved the mortars, making the attack trajectory of the mortars more accurate, making it difficult to damage allies, and at the same time strengthening the shrapnel explosion damage and damage. range.

At the same time, Urban also brought in fifty dwarf long-tube rune firearms, and then the former chief engineer of Kislev saw his former cellmate Meretskov and laughed until tears came out : "Beria, are you planning to move all the Cheka prisons to Britannia?"

"Then I think I have to take a few more steps and take it slow." Beria also made a joke with Urban. The big engineer now has a big platform where he can use his talents perfectly, which is like a duck to water. It's hard to describe it, Urban has absolutely contributed to the rapid formation of mass production capacity and the continuous improvement and upgrading of the war machine at the Mousillon Gun Factory.

At the same time, the assistant Beria sent to Urban, the Ugor soldier named Tupolev, who followed him for a long time seemed to be influenced by Urban. A technical apprentice, Beria thought to himself that it was time to change someone to monitor Urban.

Subsequently, the reorganized army has reached the scale of 6,000 people and continues to march north.

On the way, Callard and others also encountered an interesting thing. When they reached the north of Mousillon, when they were marching in the old territory of the former Leonace, the army was stopped by a group of people with weapons.

The leader was a big man with an imperial breastplate on his body, a shield and a crossbow on his back, a long sword on his waist, and a triangular iron helmet on his head, blocking the road: " Holy Grail Master! Holy Grail Master! Wait a minute."

"You, which part?" Karad rode on the pure-blooded elf warhorse. He frowned at the group of people and signaled the army to stop: "What?"

"We are all free people of Musilon." The big man couldn't help showing a happy expression when he saw that the Master of the Holy Grail was willing to listen to his words: "Master of the Holy Grail, you are the legendary Count Callard, the hero of ten thousand people, The hero who regained Musillon, and the unparalleled hero who defeated and killed the mad Duke Meroving?"

"Well, it's me." Callard nodded: "What's the matter? Is there a situation that needs our help, or is there something you want to report to me?"

"Hey, it's Your Excellency Callard, it's Your Excellency Callard!" Cheers erupted among the freedmen, and Callard noticed that there were more than 100 freemen in this group, and they all brought their own weapons and equipment. Leah couldn't help frowning when she saw this scene: "Lord Callard, it's important to march, we should not waste time here."

"It doesn't matter." Callard waved his hand, and Beria didn't say anything when he saw it. Ryan made it clear that he was assisting Callard, not the supervisor.

"Master Callard, are you going to fight? Take us with you!" The big man in the lead said with a smile: "We also want to contribute to the kingdom! We also want to fight! We didn't do anything in the last Obiang expedition. Participate in, I heard that the old and the young, the Obiang's great expedition made great achievements, was directly promoted from the free people to the honorable free people, and was also selected into the Lengxi Guards!"

"Yeah! We're going to war too, Grail Master, bring us one!"

"We also want to join the Lengxi Guards!"

"If I make a military contribution, I should have the opportunity to join the old guard!"

"Be confident and get rid of what should be!"

"We also want to make a fortune and be a master! Your Excellency Callard, please do well and accept us!"

The frenzy of war filled the whole group of free people, they all looked at Karad with longing and anticipation, just waiting for the order of the sanctuary, they immediately joined the army.

Callard was really dumbfounded when he saw this. The Earl suddenly realized that the situation was reversed. Before Ryan didn't come, the serfs and freedmen were doing everything possible to avoid war and conscription, but now it's the complete opposite. Having guaranteed a fair share of the spoils, it is now any serf and freedmen who aspire to change the status quo rushing to join the army, because only in this way can there be the few opportunities to cross the class and the way to obtain a lot of wealth.

And Lane did give Callard five knighthood indicators, that is, he could have up to five knighthoods in this military operation.

"No, we are not here to recruit soldiers this time, but have a mission." Callard said loudly: "You still take care of your own affairs and ensure the autumn harvest is your greatest contribution to the kingdom."

"But we have already finished the autumn harvest. The people we came here today are all early crops, and the harvest was completed early in the autumn. As soon as we heard that there were troops passing by, we would come immediately!" One of us!"

"No, no! We have a mission!" Callard hurriedly waved his hand: "This is an order! Alright, let's get out of the way now."

The freedmen had to reluctantly give way, and the big man headed was furious and said with yin and yang: "Oh, really, why don't you give me this chance, what about the Holy Grail Master? What about the shield of the kingdom? What about protecting the family and the country? What about the devout lady followers? You also want us to participate! Your Excellency Callard, I wish you three days to achieve your dreams~ We thank you~”

The ranger knights glared at the yin and yang of these free people. If it weren't for killing a free person, the price would be very high~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The knights would have rushed to cut people, and the young and vigorous ranger knights will soon yell.

The freedmen did not dare to scold the lords of the knights, and just continued to be yin and yang: "Let's go, let's make way for the lords of the knights, I wish them a smooth journey, it's best if you don't see anyone, hurry up and return~"

The army moved on.

And just when the northern front army formed by Ryan was preparing to go to the northern coast of Brittany for defense.

Old World North, Norsca Mountains, Dulong City.

The sound of the alarm sounded almost throughout the Giant Mountains, and the Norsca dwarves were hurrying to slaughter livestock, store food, close the fortress, and prepare for defense.

Norsca dwarf lord Torgard-Crimson and his queen Svenator's received a flood of urgent reports from Frontier Sentinels!

A Chaos army with a number of at least 150,000 is gathering from the northern wasteland and marching towards the south at a very fast speed, targeting Dulong City and the high mountain pass of the Mourning Mountains!

Thorgaard-Scarlet was shocked by the news, the Maharaja Norsca immediately ordered all Norsca dwarves to enter the combat readiness mode, to prepare for a long time, and immediately sent a dwarf messenger to inform Kislev that he was located in the high mountains. Defenders of the Pass!

"Quick! Move quickly!"

A small boat took the Norsca dwarf messengers along the underground river of the Norsca Mountains, along the dark rolling river channel that the Norsca dwarves spent hundreds of years digging, and sent the information of the appearance of a giant Chaos army. to Erlengrad.

However, Mrs. Keisler disagreed: "The dwarf's reaction is slow! We have long known that Chaos is gathering an army. When is the news, and it is only delivered now.".

"What do they have to do with the dark elves? Dwarfs are dull!"

"It's gone! It's gone!"
