Chapter 30 The First Battle After Returning

Although the man in front of him was tightly tied, Xiao's eyes were still very aggressive. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Saogrande's amethyst eyes stared kindly at Xiao's angry face. Even though Shaw knew that he couldn't act rashly against Sogrend, the thought of Sogrerd and Gina staying for more than one night made Shaw want to physically attack Sogrend. (Thankfully, he didn't know that Sogrand had even seen Tinna's bare back, otherwise it's hard to say if the story would have been told.)

Just as the two of them were staring at each other, China knocked on the door and walked in, and after giving a military salute, she said, "By the mouth of His Majesty the King, Admiral Shaw, now please hand over His Excellency Sogredelius to the lower officer." ”

"But, this guy ......" Xiao was a little unwilling.

"Do you have any doubts about the oracle of your subordinates?" This is the attitude of China as soon as she starts her business.

"No, there isn't." Shaw stepped forward to untie the rope for Saugland, and secretly warned, "Don't play any tricks! ”

Cenna led Sogrend through the corridor to a large door, "Your Majesty is waiting for you inside, Lord Leus." ”

Thorgrande nodded to Chinna, knocked on the door and entered the room, where the king and queen were both in the room. It's just that Charles I, who has always been in good health, is lying on the hospital bed, his face like ashes. This came as a surprise to Sogland.

"The guilty lord Sogredelius knocks before His Majesty." Sogrend taps the ground on one knee.

"Arise, what sin thou hast thou?" The king sat up with the help of the queen, "As a human king, I didn't see the truth of the matter clearly, I was blind and rash, and I almost ruined the country, I am the biggest sinner!" ”

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself, Weichen is stupid, it is too late to save the driver, and the crime deserves death."

"Ryus, you don't have to be polite to me, you already know whose trick you and I have fallen into, you already know before me."

At this moment, there was another knock on the door. The other party pushed the door in, and it turned out to be Princess Margaret and Chenna, who was still holding the "Tooth Moon". The little princess could hardly believe her eyes, and she cried out, "Thorgrand! ”

"Your Highness the Princess."

"I'm glad to see you again, and welcome back, my teacher." The little princess happily hugged Sogrande.

"Let's talk about the relationship between teachers and students later, you guys stand up, I have something to announce." Charles I coughed a few times, "I, grandson of Layton Pallas, after Hasus, the god of war. Charlie Pallas, the second king of the Kingdom of Falencia, announced that, from this moment on, the crown prince Margaret Martina Pallas was officially ordered to assume the royal power. In addition, he canonized Sograndelius as the Marquis of Roskado, appointed him Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Kingdom of Fallency, and awarded the rank of Marshal; General Chenna Lanfonte was appointed as court secretary and concubine, assisting the prime minister and crown prince. The queen is a witness to my dictation and an overseer of its execution. The general Lanfonte returned the sword to the Marquis de Leus. ”

Sogrend took the sword and replied: "Wechen is sincerely afraid, I hope that I can entrust Your Majesty Hongfu to put down the rebellion as soon as possible." Now that he has taken office, Weichen did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately retired and started work. ”

The king answered, and lay down again, and the three of them withdrew from the room.

"General Lanfangte."

"The lower official is here."

"Notify all the generals and schools to immediately go to the council hall for a meeting."

"Understood."

Margaret looked at Saugland with delight, knowing full well that Fari's hopes were now infinitely greater.

"Charles I was not a sage monarch, but he could take the initiative to repent and make decisive decisions in a critical moment, which cannot but be praised." - Quoted from Germiellu's History of the Continent of Articut.

Half an hour later, all the officers in Parelo had arrived, and Sogrande's ascension to power came as a surprise to many. Princess Margaret took the throne of the monarch, with Saugland standing on her side.

After the courtesy, the princess asked, "What is the movement of the rebels?" ”

Xiao stepped forward to report that the Fifth and Seventh Army Corps were approaching, and added: "I wonder what His Excellency Luce has planned?" ”

Sogrend replied unhurriedly: "It is well known that Parelo is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the south side is flat. Therefore, the Eighth Army set up a large camp at the mouth of the valley in the south and built fortifications to hold on. In addition, men were sent to contact the Second and Third Army Corps. By the way, Admiral Santro, let Captain Marchrandir go. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any other comments? ”

Xiao secretly thought, but so, the twenty-ranked guy only has this bit of strength, and replied with a sneer: "Obey the order." ”

After that, some personnel arrangements were made, and Farsberg was transferred from the First Army Corps to take over the position of chief of logistics and take charge of the logistics supply of the whole army. Oyifi commanded a reserve of 5,000 cavalry with the Forbidden Army as the main trunk, and Larsen and Sauer were placed under his command.

After the meeting ended, Gina stopped Sogrend in the aisle, and Sogrend nodded and motioned for her to come with him. The two arrived at Saugland's newly acquired office. Thorgrande pulled out the Iron Eagle pendant and handed it to Chinna, "Show this to Count Sodrland, and he will take you to Princess Sigrani." You know the purpose of this trip. Go and come back, I can't be without you for long. ”

"The lower officials understand that they must live up to their mission." Cena lowered her head and took the pendant with both hands, her eyes flashing with a complicated light.

"Be careful on the road and remember to change the wound dressing." Thorgrande admonished again. Cena received this personal concern and hit the road.

On July 10, 344 A.D., Briebold and Douglas Gran marched to Jargus, a small village only ten fats from Parello, but the Eighth Legion had already dug a ditch and fortified it there. Bird launched several charges in succession, but they were easily repulsed by the Eighth Army, which occupied the fortifications.

The two sides began to stalemate, and Bird was bored and could only drink in the tent, and he was glad that he had brought Eugaris from Zai, and he also had a partner for fun. Douglas was not idle, except for harassing the other party from time to time, and keeping the scouts as busy as worker bees in the spring.

Five days later, Douglas walked into Bird's tent. Bird spat out the wine, raised his glass in one hand, put his arm around the bewitching dancing queen in the other, and said, "Admiral Gran, come and have a drink too." ”

Douglas shook his head and shouted, "I have important military affairs to discuss with Admiral Bird, and the rest of the idle things will be stepped down for me!" ”

Eugaris and the others had no choice but to withdraw from the tent, and Douglas's guards immediately did not live in the tent and did not let anyone approach. Eugaris grabbed a sergeant and asked, "Why is Admiral Gran so angry?" ”

"I heard that Sogredelius has returned and taken over the position of prime minister and commander-in-chief, and the admiral seems to have some clever plan."

Eugaris's eyes lit up, and the hopes that had been dashed for her were now rekindled.

Half an hour later, Douglas walked out of the tent and led the men away. Eugaris immediately walked into Bird's tent, only to see Bird roll a small roll of parchment and stuff it into a small wooden tube for letters. Eugaris estimated that it was something important, so she leaned in and asked, "General, what are you hiding?" ”

Bird took the small wooden tube, "I'm going to leave tonight, and with this, you can wait here for my good news." He shook the small wooden tube in front of Eugaris's eyes.

"If you make a great achievement, you will forget about it." Eucaris said coquettishly.

"How so? You're my sweetheart. Bird picked her up, "You little goblin, let me love you before I go." ”

A mesmerizing female voice then came from the tent.

At night, after the departure of the Seventh Legion. The guards guarding the gate of the empty camp noticed that someone was walking towards him, "Who is it?" The guard asked alarmedly.

"It's me." A woman's coquettish voice came from the darkness.

"It's Miss Eucaris, where are you going so late?"

"Back to Kaunescu, Admiral Bird is gone, and people are so bored here."

"This is also the case, but can you take a look at the luggage?" The guards have not forgotten their duties.

"Okay." Eucaris asked the servant to open her luggage, and the guard hastily inspected it. "Are you still going to search me?"

"That'...... I don't dare. Miss, please walk slowly, be careful on the road. ”

In the Eighth Army, Sogrand was discussing with the two generals how to break the siege. At this time, a sergeant came in to report and caught a spy. Xiao ordered someone to bring it up.

"It hurts, let go."

When Sogrend saw it, it was Eugaris. "Miss Eugaris, what wind brought you here?"

"Thorge! Great, you're back. Your men are rude. Eugaris grumbled.

"Admiral Xiao will teach them a lesson later, you have nothing to do but wait for the Three Treasure Palace, what are you doing?"

"Someone stole something related to Bird's old pervert's actions, do you want it?" One more question.

"What is it?" The three commanders asked in unison.

"I didn't look at it, and they hid it in a place where it wasn't easy to take it out on the spot." Eugaris looked shy.

Sogrend and Oyifi had already understood, only Shaw was still asking, "What is it?" ”

"Are you really stupid?" Oyifei leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, and Xiao immediately blushed and said, "Then let's all go out first." Quick, all out! The tent was immediately as clean as it had been after the typhoon had passed, leaving Eugaris alone.

A few minutes later, the crowd returned to the tent. Eugaris's face was like a peach blossom, and she handed the small wooden tube to Sogrend, "Don't worry, they've wiped it clean." ”

Thorgrande took it, pulled out the parchment from it, studied it carefully, and muttered, "If this is Parello...... and suddenly he screamed, startling the crowd. Excitedly, Saugland rushed up and lifted Eugaris up and said to the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, the goddess of victory is her. You've done a great job, Eugaris. If you win this battle, you can do whatever you want, as long as I can do it. ”

"That's what you said, everyone heard it, don't regret it then?"

"Of course, somebody, bring the map."

In a few moments, a map of the area around Parelo was laid out on the table, "If the path shown on that piece of paper really exists, it is estimated that Bird marched along this route." If you set up camp tonight, you are expected to arrive here early tomorrow morning - the Dhakat Valley. Admiral Xiao, I'm going to draw all the archers under your command. Admiral Santro, immediately ordered the reserves to prepare for departure. Tell Farsberg to transfer 50,000 arrows and 3,000 bows from the warehouse, as soon as possible. Send people to follow this map to reconnoiter the exact movements of the enemy. Everyone, go your separate ways, and may Hasus bless you. ”

"May Hasus bless."

Due to the constant preparation for the Mastar war, Parelo had a large amount of military supplies, so Farsberg was able to complete the deployment within an hour. The Praetorian Guard and the cavalry of the Commander-in-Chief were in reserve, most of whom were trained in bows and arrows. Together with the archers of the Eighth Legion, there were as many as 12,000 men, led by Oifisantro, and Sogrande set out with the army.

On July 16, the flag of the Seventh Legion, embroidered with the constellation Ursa Major, appeared in the Dakat Valley half an hour after sunrise, and the soldiers were already haunted with nebutas after a night of marching. Bird, however, could not contain his excitement, and took out a small wooden tube from his waist, pulled out the plug and looked at it, only to find that it was empty. Bird secretly screamed in his heart, but before he could think about how to advance or retreat, the battle horn had sounded.

"Shoot, shoot the quiver into the air!" Sogrend ordered.

In general encounters, it is customary to estimate the total number of enemy troops by the number of archers. At this time, Bird estimated that tens of thousands of archers were shooting at the same time, arrows rained down, and the Seventh Legion was in chaos. The enemy numbered about 4~50,000 men, but Bird was confused by his own estimates, but his suspicions were quickly dispelled. The banners of the Lilies (Eighth Legion), Unicorns (First Legion) and Tomahawks (Praetorian Guard) were waving all over the mountain. 1. The Eighth Army has merged! The thought crossed the minds of Bird and the officers and men of the Seventh Legion.

"Eugaris, that prostitute, betrayed me!" Bird finally understood.

But he realized too late, and the hussars of Sauer and Larsson had penetrated their disorganized lines and were approaching their own position. The soldiers who had set up an ambush also rushed down from the heights on both sides.

"Chong, our target is the head of the main general, and all those who surrender will be pardoned!" Soldiers of the royal army shouted similar slogans. When the soldiers of the Seventh Legion heard this, they turned against each other. They were reluctant to fight a civil war in the first place, and now they have a good chance to get out.

Sauer rushed to the opponent's home line, and Bird hurriedly drew his sword to resist. If it comes to combat experience and qualifications, Bird definitely has the advantage; But when it comes to martial arts and strength, he's far below Sauer. Sure enough, three rounds later, Sauer beheaded Bird, and the rebels' first general was beheaded. Sauer held the bloody head alof, which broke the last stubborn resistance.

The fighting in the Dakat Valley came to an end, with more than 39,000 men on both sides participating, with no more than 3,000 casualties.

The winning side, while cleaning up the battlefield, on the other hand, sorted out the remnants of the Seventh Legion.

"Look, Wyvern!"

Thorgrande looked up and saw the three-headed wyvern whistling across the sky. "Wave the flag of the First Legion to the Dragon Knight." Sogrend ordered. He was well aware that the main forces of the 1st Army were nearby. Sure enough, half an hour later, I saw the hussars of Baiohuofu. Oiffie finally returned to the First Legion.

It turned out that the Fourth and Sixth Army Corps were advancing on Ogarosha, an important western town where the First Army was stationed. After consulting with Admiral Gursi and others, Baiohuv decided to move in the direction of Parello in order to join up with the Eighth Army. I never thought that I would meet it on the outskirts of Parello.

Sogrand selected 3000 hussars and 5000 infantry from the 7th Army Corps to form a new reserve. After that, the original reserve was reorganized into the new Praetorian Hussar Corps, and Ernest Sauer was promoted to general, commanding the Praetorian Guard, with Larsson and Yeft as his deputies. Then, the remaining soldiers of the Seventh Army were dismissed, and the whole army was ordered to march to Jarguz to prepare for the encirclement of the Fifth Army. In this way, the royal army had a total of nearly 75,000 men on the side of Parello, and all 150 dragon knights except for the Arudina department.

But when Sogrand led his army back, he pounced. It turned out that Douglas had received information in the morning that the Second and Third Army Corps had sent troops to capture Gappest, an important granary in the southeast. In order to avoid being encircled, the only way to do this was to withdraw the camp to Dayangir.

Thorgrande didn't bother to care about this gain or loss, but only sent the dragon knights to contact the second and third legions to encircle Dayangnir.

Sogrend then returned to Parello's palace to resume his life, only to see the sad expressions of the people when he walked to the palace. When he saw the princess, he was informed that Charles I had finally not survived the summer heat and died in the early hours of July 16.

"Your Highness, oh no, Your Majesty, please mourn. At present, we are in the midst of a national crisis, so we can only hold a two-day mourning for the former king, and then hold a state funeral for the former king after the restoration of the national capital, and hold a coronation ceremony for you. The heavenly spirits of the ancestors of the former kings and Pharansi should be able to understand our painstaking efforts. ”

"Just do what Lu Siqing said." Margaret commanded faintly.

"Your Majesty is wise, may Hasus bless us." Sogrend prepared to step back.

"Thorgrand!"

"Wechen is here."

Margaret got up from her throne and ran to him, "Will you be my brother for a day?" I was so scared. ”

"It's an honor." Sogrand took the new queen into his arms like a father and brother, stroked her head lovingly, and said, "My poor highness, it is too early for you to take up the burden of the monarch. But there is no way around it. Fortunately, there are many people who support you, including me, and I hope you will live up to our expectations. Cry as much as you like now, and may this be the last time in your life. ”

Margaret tugged at Saugland's clothes tightly, her delicate little hands leaving countless sad folds on it, and a terrible whimper rushed from her nose to the heart.
