The Kingdom of Lund is a small country located in the eastern part of the Britannia Empire. It is sandwiched between the Britannia Empire and the Frankish Empire. It is also a vassal state of the Britannia Empire.

Although it is only a small country with a land area that can be described as small, it has very developed agriculture and commerce due to its rich land and unique geographical location. Generally speaking, it is also an extremely wealthy and peaceful country.

As the capital of the Kingdom of Lunde, Heron City has accumulated the essence and wealth of the country. It is undoubtedly the largest and most prosperous big city in the Kingdom of Lunde.

However, this most prosperous city in the Kingdom of Lund is now in deathly silence.

The strong smell of blood, metal, and putrefaction enveloped Heron City, the capital of the Kingdom of Lund.

In Heron City, the streets are bleak and desolate. Compared with the bustling and beautiful city before, it is impossible to imagine that this is the same city. There are only a few pedestrians on the street, and the only pedestrians on the street have numb and slightly nervous faces.

Horrified.

They were all afraid, afraid that the 80,000-strong Carolingian army that was surrounding Heron City had defeated their last defense of Heron City, and then rushed into the city and raised a butcher's knife against them.

On the city wall of Heron City, the king of the Kingdom of Lund, who was fully armored, was inspecting the situation on the city wall with several guards.

The city walls were covered in blood, and there was almost no clean place for people to set foot.

The king standing on the city wall looked out of Heron City with a gloomy face, looking at the 80,000 troops outside the city that surrounded Heron City.

"Oh, this Allen Jones is so powerful..." The king sighed painfully as he looked at the 80,000 troops outside the city who were besieging the city.

The reason for this exclamation was that the king personally participated in the decisive outdoor battle with the Carolingian Kingdom.

Although the Kingdom of Lund is economically prosperous, its military strength is not strong. Mobilizing an army of 90,000 is already the limit.

The Carolingian Kingdom sent a full 80,000 troops to invade them this time. In other words, even if the Kingdom of Lund sent all 90,000 troops to meet the enemy, they would not be able to gain an advantage in terms of the number of soldiers.

The individual combat effectiveness of the Kingdom of Lund is similar to that of the Carolingian Kingdom, so they cannot have the upper hand in terms of the quality of their soldiers.

The Carolingian Kingdom and the Kingdom of Lund were also sworn enemies. They had been at war with each other for so long, and both sides knew some of each other's details. Therefore, the king knew very well that the Carolingian Kingdom did not have any outstanding generals.

The quantity and quality of soldiers and the quality of generals are similar on both sides, which means that it will be difficult to determine the winner of this battle.

Therefore, in order to win, the king of the Kingdom of Lund resolutely decided to go on a personal expedition and personally led the 90,000-strong army of the Kingdom of Lund to attack the 80,000-strong invading army of the Carolingian Kingdom!

However, although the king personally led the expedition and the morale of the army's generals and soldiers was greatly increased, they failed to successfully repel the Carolingian Kingdom's invading army, and the two sides ended in a stalemate.

Although he failed to defeat the invading army in one fell swoop, the king was very satisfied with the result. Because the attacker failed to achieve his goal and was blocked by the defender, the attacker lost.

The Carolingian Kingdom's 80,000-strong army came from afar, but they were fighting on their own. As long as this stalemate continued and the Carolingian Kingdom's supplies were exhausted, the 80,000-strong army would retreat without a fight.

So, now we just need to continue to have a stalemate with them.

The king's vision was beautiful, but the reality was very cruel.

That day, a sudden change occurred!

The king will never forget that day.

The Carolingian army, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly launched a fierce attack on them at dawn!

The king didn't know much about military affairs. Although he carried the title of commander-in-chief of the entire army during this personal expedition, the specific command was still handed over to the generals below him. He himself was just a mascot-like existence.

However, even the king who didn't know much about military affairs saw the sudden change in the command style of the Carolingian Kingdom's army at that time!

Suddenly it became sharp and violent!

The Lund army did not react to the sudden change in style of the Carolingian army and was caught off guard.

However, this is not the most terrifying thing, the more terrifying thing is yet to come.

The king still remembers the scene at that time. A cavalry team of thousands of people rushed towards them in a wedge formation. Each cavalryman in this cavalry team was wearing silver heavy armor. Not only the people were wearing heavy armor, but also they were wearing heavy armor.

The horses under their crotches were all covered with silver heavy armor. This cavalry team, which could be said to be wrapped in armor, rushed towards their Lund army. Thousands of horses were galloping, and the sky and the earth seemed to be trembling.

At that time, the king saw at a glance the true identity of this cavalry team, the armored holy cavalry of the Frank Empire!

The king once visited the Frankish Empire and saw the elegance of the armored paladin once, as well as the terror of the armored paladin.

After that visit, the terrifying posture of the armored paladin was firmly engraved in his mind.

However, the king never expected that he would experience the terror of the armored holy cavalry personally.

Thousands of armored paladins easily tore through the Lund army like hot knives cutting through butter.

The 90,000-strong military formation of the Kingdom of Lund was easily torn apart by the armored holy cavalry of only a few thousand people.

As if entering an uninhabited land, the armored holy cavalry rushed straight towards the Lund army's main formation, where the king was.

Seeing the armored holy cavalry coming towards him, the king panicked and fled with the elite guards around him.

However, this armored paladin clung to the king's back. No matter how hard the king drove the horses, he could not get rid of the armored paladin who was stuck behind him.

In the end, under the desperate protection and resistance of the elite guards, the king managed to get rid of the armored holy cavalry who followed him closely and escaped.

However, only he and a few guards and generals escaped.

Under the powerful attack of the armored holy cavalry and the follow-up encirclement and annihilation of 80,000 Carolingian troops, the 90,000-strong army of the Kingdom of Lund was wiped out!

The main force of the Kingdom of Lund was completely destroyed.

After wiping out all the main forces of the Kingdom of Lund, the Carolingian Army continued to advance, aiming directly at the capital Heron City!

After the king escaped, he gathered some remaining soldiers and returned to the capital Heron City.

After returning to Heron City, the king immediately ordered to ask for help from the overlord country, the Britannia Empire! He also prohibited anyone from entering or exiting Heron City, counted all the grain, grass, and supplies in the city, and was prepared to defend Heron City to the death!

At this time, the king finally knew the reason for their previous defeat and the reason why the armored holy cavalry of the Frank Empire appeared here.

It turned out that the Carolingian Kingdom became anxious when they saw the fighting situation on the front line, and asked their sovereign state, the Frank Empire, for help. Therefore, the Frank Empire sent their general "Cyborg" Alan Jones and 4,000 armored holy cavalry.

Help them.

After hearing this truth, the king finally understood why the Carolingian army's command style suddenly changed and why the armored holy cavalry appeared here.

Although a cloud of doubt in my heart was gone, my heart also became heavier.

The king already understood that without the assistance of the Britannia Empire, under the command of Allen, the fall of Heron City would only be a matter of time.

Therefore, the king has been praying since then, praying that the Britannian Empire can come to help and defeat Allen and his armored paladin!

Soon, the 80,000-strong army of the Carolingian Kingdom, commanded by Alan Jones, came to the city and launched a fierce attack on Heron City. With the tall walls of Heron City and the rich defensive equipment in the city, the soldiers in the city finally overcame the enemy.

Despite the fierce attacks of the Carolingian Army, the Carolingian Army has finally calmed down a bit in the past few days, and the soldiers in the city and the king can finally take a breath.

…

"How long can the food in the city last?" the king asked a general beside him.

"Your Highness, we can still support it for about 40 days," the general replied without hesitation.

"40 days..." the king continued, "How many soldiers do we still have in Heron City now?"

"Your Highness, there are about 4,000 soldiers left." The general said, with a dark look in his eyes.

"Is this all left..." The king's face was full of bitterness.

The king standing on the city wall, although the cool wind was constantly blowing by him, he did not feel the leisure of this cool breeze at all.

In front of several layers of fences and deep ditches, among the many banners of the Carolingian army, a towering figure stood. Just looking at this blurry figure, the king felt a pressure coming towards him.

Although they were far away and couldn't even see the other party's figure, the king was sure that this figure was Alan Jones of the Frankish Empire, now the commander-in-chief of the Carolingian Kingdom's 80,000-strong army.

"How long can we hold on..." the king muttered in frustration.

At this moment, screams came one after another, from far to near.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! There is urgent news! There is urgent news!"

"What's the urgent news?" the king said calmly without looking back.

"The Britannia Empire has sent troops to rescue!!"

"What?!"

The king turned his head suddenly, surprised and a little ecstatic.

"Yes! The Britannia Empire dispatched 1/3 of the strength of the Gabriel Knights, a total of 100,000 troops, to come to the rescue! We are saved!"

The generals around the king also looked happy now.

"The Britannia Empire has finally sent out its troops!"

"Let me tell you! Our Kingdom of Lund is also a vassal state of the Britannia Empire! How could the Britannia Empire not save us?"

"100,000 troops! A whole 100,000 troops! We are saved!"

"Long live the Kingdom of Lund! Long live the Empire of Britannia!"

…

Although the king's face was also full of joy, the joy on his face soon dissipated, and he became a bit more solemn.

"No, we can't be happy too early." The king said solemnly, "When the Britannia Empire defeated Allen, we couldn't be considered saved. Although the Britannia Empire's total military strength accounted for

We have the upper hand, but the enemy commander is that Allen! We still don’t know who will win and who will lose!”

After hearing the king's words, the joy of the generals also dissipated a little, and their faces regained some dignity.
Chapter completed!
