Chapter 493. The front line that is gradually scorching
Not to mention Lionheart City, even in their manor and castle, there are also a large number of elite private troops.
They can't wait to see the Lion Duke Cameron and his second son, Baron Kant, fight to defeat both, and they can't say that they will secretly make a secret move in the end, so that their father and son will "die together".
They didn't want the family of Grand Duke Cameron, the Duke of Lion, who had gradually begun to decline, to become strong again.
In the end, under the pressure of Grand Duke Cameron, the Duke of Lion, the four counts and the two viscounts only agreed to provide supplies to the troops that went north to resist the invasion of the northern county lords' coalition forces, which were sent from Lionheart City, and the other two viscounts who had no power in Lionheart City needed to pay the four counts corresponding money.
The four earls and two viscounts, the ultimate goal of these six top nobles in the southern county is just to hope that Cameron, the Duke of Lion, can consume each other's strength with his second son, Baron Kant.
Grand Duke Cameron, the Duke of Lion, was able to ascend the throne in the war and repel the invasion of the Silver Plate Kingdom when the previous Duke of Lion died, which was naturally not an easy task, and he naturally easily saw through the calculations of the six top nobles of the Southern County Lord, and immediately formulated a corresponding countermeasure.
It is precisely because of this countermeasure of the Lion Duke Cameron, that many small and medium-sized nobles in the southern county will gather at Seria Fort at this time.
For the Duke of Lion, the Northern County Territory was not under his real control, and promising it to the small and medium-sized nobles of the Southern County Territory was just a matter of pushing the boat along the river, and there was no substantial loss for him.
It is precisely because of this that Luo Wen, who is the top nobleman of Nanjun Leader. The Earl of Rees will send a great knight to inform the many small and medium-sized nobles of the Southern County Territory sitting in Fort Seria at this time: supplies, they don't plan to give them!
With the assistance of the rebel army of the Southern County Leader, it just gave the six top nobles of the Southern County Leader an excuse to no longer support the supply of the Southern County Leader Noble Alliance.
They even put forward a condition that they could know the answer to the southern county to lead the noble coalition, which was naturally to deal with the possible anger of the lion duke Majorduke Cameron.
"You see, it's not that we don't continue to supply them, it's that they themselves say they don't want to!"
The lines are all ready.
The shamelessness of the nobles is always hidden under such a decent excuse, and the six top nobles of the southern county are very slippery.
In fact, they wish that the small and medium-sized nobles in the southern county would fail, and it would be better to die.
In this way, Baron Kant's troops could smoothly move south and force the Lion Castle of Duke Cameron.
In addition, they can also secretly encroach on the territories of those small and medium-sized nobles in the southern county. The territory of the Southern County Territory is a real fertile territory, otherwise how could the Southern County Territory be able to support so many powerful nobles with an area smaller than the Northern County Territory and the Eastern County Territory.
Although at this time, the territories of the small and medium-sized nobles in the Nanjun Territory were occupied by the Nanjun Leader Rebel Army, but the miscellaneous soldiers of the Nanjun Leader Rebel Army were not in the eyes of the six top nobles in the Nanjun Territory.
...
In the meeting hall of the command in the castle of Seria, the nobles heard Kozmo. Baron Henry's words, the atmosphere was even more serious.
"We need to do it quickly!"
Immediately, a member of the nobles of the command regiment spoke.
"That's right, even if we only have three heavy cavalry legions left at this time, it's extremely easy to crush the waste of the Northern County Coalition Army!"
None of the members of the command group present had any doubts about their ability to easily defeat the coalition of Northern County Lords.
All they feared was that the allied forces of the nobles of the Northern County were cowering in Maesburg, holding the fortress and refusing to fight them directly.
That's what they want to discuss.
Because their army, 15,000 soldiers, all were heavy cavalry.
After all, the heavy cavalry of the Principality of Lion dominates all human countries, and all the nobles of the Principality of Lion are proud of it, and their elite private soldiers are naturally made into heavy cavalry. In the vast plains of Nanjunling, the power of the heavy cavalry can also be brought into full play.
However, the siege of heavy cavalry is not an easy task. This meant that they needed to give up their advantage, at least before they could blast the castle's gates, and their soldiers would need to turn into infantry.
This will undoubtedly cause great casualties, which will far exceed the losses suffered by destroying the other corps directly with heavy cavalry charges.
Now these three heavy cavalry legions are the members of these command groups, and the nobles of the Nanjun Lord, the foundation of their re-emergence, naturally do not want them to lose too much.
If they had enough time, they could also create a large number of siege engines to reduce the casualties of their soldiers.
But now due to the limitation of supplies, they only have two weeks, if they can't take Masburg fifty miles to the north within two weeks, in order not to starve to death, they can probably only turn into robbers to rob the estates of other nobles who are not on the same side as them.
Because at that time, Rowan. The Grand Knight sent by Count Rees had already returned to Lionheart City with the news of their refusal, and they wanted Lionheart City to support supplies, but they couldn't do it.
The nobles of the command regiment were at a loss, and they all frowned and thought hard about countermeasures.
Most importantly, they don't want to lose too many troops.
Otherwise, they think that even if they push Masburg at this time, they can win.
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door of the conference room of the command group.
This made the members of the command group present and these nobles of the Southern County Collar all show unhappy looks.
In the past few days, the bad news has come one after another, and the current situation is already very serious, so many of them have not yet thought of an effective way to attack the city, and they can pay the smallest possible price to capture Mastburg.
The knock on the door was so urgent, and the members of the command group knew that it was another big bad news.
Viscount Cammy gracefully picked up the fine earthenware water cup on the long table made of precious wood in front of him, and slowly took a sip of a few pieces of fresh goat's milk from the date sugar cubes of the Sentry Oasis Drehem Sugar Factory.
"Jimmy. Sir Waters, please open the gate and let our knights in. ”
As Viscount Camy's words fell, the sad faces of all the nobles before turned into a relaxed and casual gentleman's appearance.
Jimmy. Sir Waters, seated on the right hand side of Viscount Cammy, in the last seat. Of all the noble members of the command corps present, he was the weakest, even Harry. Baron Kendi and the other five nobles who had suffered heavy losses were also far stronger than him at this time.
At the same time, Jimmy. Sir Waters is also the closest to the gate.
The status of the nobles is measured by their strength, even if it is a knight, as long as his strength is strong enough, even the earl will show humility for him.
Jimmy. Sir Waters naturally understood this truth, and among the many nobles present, he was the weakest, so he should naturally open the door.
He can't let other nobles who are higher than him do this, right?
Jimmy. Sir Waters opened the door to the conference room, and a frightened knightly squire, completely forgetting the etiquette of respectful salutes and greetings in front of these nobles, rushed straight in, shouting in a panic.
"Oh no! Oh no! ”
"After the noble alliance of the Northern County Lords set off from the castle of Masburg, they are approaching our Selia Castle!"
"There are too many enemies, many more than us!"
The knight's squire, who was in charge of finding out the news in the vicinity of Masburg, saw Fatis leading a large number of troops from Masburg towards Fort Celia, and immediately hurried back, and in his panic he even forgot to return to the army, and first reported the news to his captain.
