Chapter 73

Lund Kingdom, the capital is Heron City.

The king of Lund Kingdom paced anxiously.

"What's going on with the battle between the Britannia Imperial Army and the Carolingian Kingdom Army... Why has no information been sent over until now..." the king said in a low voice.

After hearing the king's words, the civil servants and generals standing around the king could not help but look sad.

The day before yesterday, on November 5, after the Britannian Imperial Army arrived at the Irun Ferry, they used carrier pigeons to send a message to them, notifying the king of the Kingdom of Lund that they, the Britannian Imperial Army, were about to join the guard.

The Carolingian army fought a decisive battle at the ford of Irun.

However, since this message was sent, the Britannia Imperial Army has not sent any new notices or information.

The king, who was eager to know what the current situation was at the Ferry of Iron, could only pace around anxiously.

"Your Highness, don't be impatient." A civil servant said solemnly, "The reinforcements from the Britannia Empire arrived at the Ilon Ferry on November 5th the day before yesterday, and it has only been less than two days since then.

There is no way to tell the winner so quickly. Maybe the two armies are in a stalemate now and have no time to send out new notifications and information, so we should wait quietly for now."

"Wait? How long do you have to wait?!" the king loudly reprimanded the civil servant.

After hearing the king's loud rebuke, the civil servant couldn't help but tremble.

"Our current food reserves in Heron City are only enough to last for more than 20 days! If the reinforcements from the Britannia Empire don't break through the Iron Ferry soon, we will have to eat people!"

At this moment, a general broke in and shouted with a joyful voice:

"Your Highness! The reinforcements from the Britannia Empire have sent new carrier pigeons!"

"What?" The king's face immediately showed joy, "Quick! Show it to me!"

After hearing the king's urging, the general quickly stepped forward and respectfully handed a small roll of paper to the king with both hands.

The king hurriedly took the small roll of paper from the general's hand, and then unfolded it eagerly.

In the letter sent by the reinforcements of the Britannia Empire, it was written:

[Our army encountered obstacles at the Iron Ferry. In order to rescue Heron City faster, we decided to change our strategy. Please continue to hold on, and the siege of Heron City will be lifted soon.]

After reading the contents of the letter word for word, the king was stunned and murmured:

"What's the meaning?"

After the king read it, he handed the letter in his hand to the surrounding officials and officials.

The other civil servants and generals surrounding the king also quickly accepted the letter handed over by the king.

After reading the contents of the letter, everyone's expressions were similar to the king's, with confused faces.

"What are the reinforcements from the Britannia Empire doing?" the king said in a deep voice, "What do you mean by changing the strategy? Is there any other way besides using brute force to break through the blockade of the Ilon Ferry?"

"Then...your highness," a general asked, "what should we do now?"

"What else can we do?!" the king yelled, "We can only trust the reinforcements from the Britannia Empire now! Even if I fight my last soldier, I will not let the Kingdom of Lunde perish like this!

You, that’s you! Come with me! I’m going to use all the money in my private treasury to reward and motivate the soldiers! Come here and help me get the money!”



At this time, on the east bank of Irun Ferry, the Carolingian Army was stationed.

Although nearly a day has passed since the defeat of the Britannia Empire, the entire army is still immersed in an atmosphere of excitement.

Now if you go to the army camp and look inside, you will find that every soldier of the Carolingian Army has a smile on his face, and everyone's face is filled with excitement and happy smiles.

And Allen feels very happy and proud now.

Although yesterday's battle resulted in the casualties of more than 800 precious armored holy cavalry, which made Allen feel a little sad, this small loss was nothing compared to the astonishing results.

According to Allen's estimate, yesterday's battle caused approximately 12,000 to 16,000 casualties to the Britannia Imperial Army.

As for the more than 10,000 casualties in the Britannia Empire, they are not a rabble that doesn't matter how many people die.

The 100,000 troops sent by the Britannia Empire this time are all soldiers of the Gabriel Knights, and they are undoubtedly elite troops.

Tens of thousands of elites were killed or injured in one fell swoop, which must have been enough to cause severe pain to the people of the Britannia Empire.

Use your own 800 elite cavalry to replace the enemy's tens of thousands of elite infantry.

I didn’t lose at all, on the contrary, I made a lot of money!

Not only that, he also caused serious injuries to Nicholas, the coach of the Britannia Empire, yesterday. Although it was a bit of a fly in the ointment that he was rescued in the end, judging from the injuries he suffered, he might not be able to survive until he returns to the camp.

Just die.

When he thought that he had won such a beautiful victory, Allen couldn't help but feel happy and proud. He had been smiling since yesterday.

And Er, who had been following Allen, couldn't help but joked when he saw Allen, who had always maintained a happy smile: "General Allen, you look quite happy."

"Of course." Allen said in a pleasant tone, "I don't know since when, whenever I went to participate in the war against the Britannia Empire, the opponent I met was the unified knight Iser.

Therefore, I haven’t tasted such a hearty victory in the war against the Britannia Empire for a long time, can you say it’s not satisfying?”

"I successfully killed so many elite troops of the Britannian Empire, and severely wounded Nicholas, the Four Knights of the Royal Guard. When I return to the Frankish Empire, there must be many incredible rewards for me."

After saying that, Allen was a little more happy and proud.

At this moment, a scout broke into his tent

"Coach! Commander! The Britannia Imperial Army has begun to make new moves!"

"oh?"

After hearing what the scout said, the pride and joy on Allen's face disappeared, and he changed back to a poker face.

"Have the Britannia Imperial Army moved towards the Ilon Ferry again?"

"No! No!" the scout shouted, "The Britannia Imperial Army has begun to move north!"

"North?"

A look of surprise appeared on Allen's expressionless face, and he frowned.

"Er!" Allen shouted to Er who was standing aside, "Bring me the map!"

"yes!"

Just when Er turned around to get the map, the scout continued:

"Coach, not only that, we also got reliable information: the Britannia Imperial Army has changed its coach!"

"Change of coach?!"

Allen suddenly stood up.

"Yes! The Britannia Imperial Army does not seem to be hiding this information! According to the intelligence coming in, the original coach Nicholas was seriously injured and was not suitable to continue to lead the army, so a new coach was replaced

!”

"Can you find out who the new coach is?" Allen said solemnly.

"It's a new knight named Su Cheng!"

"New Knight of Laurel?!"

Allen looked at the scout with "Did I hear wrongly?"

"Yes, according to reliable information, a new knight named Su Cheng has become the new commander-in-chief of the Britannia Imperial Army!"

"Hmph, is there no one left in the Britannia Empire?" Allen said in a disdainful tone, "A new knight of laurel is actually allowed to serve as the commander-in-chief of such a large army."

Afterwards, Allen muttered Su Cheng's name several times.

"Su Cheng... such a strange name. I've never heard of it. Ah, no, I feel like I've heard this name somewhere."

Allen thought hard for a while, and finally remembered that when he was fighting with the girl named Alan yesterday, she had told him that she was the knight retinue of the new knight Su Cheng.

"What are they doing..." Allen frowned and murmured, "How could a new knight be appointed as the commander of an army of 90,000 people..."

At this moment, Er brought the map over.

"General Allen, the map is here!"

As Er said, he spread the map on the table in front of Allen.

After the map was laid out, Allen immediately leaned down on the map and began to think:

The entire Britannia Imperial Army moves northward...

Allen stretched out his finger and placed it on the spot where the Britannia Imperial Army stayed after retreating from the west bank of the Iron Ferry.

Where are the Britannia Imperial Army going?

As Allen thought this, he began to slide his fingers towards the north.

Did they also realize that it was the dry season, so they all had to go north to find another suitable place to cross the Fuhe River?

No! If they all went north, wouldn't they be far away from Fuhe? If they were to go north, it would be equivalent to being far away from Fuhe.

And even if we had to find another suitable place to cross the river, it would be impossible for the whole army to move like this. It would be too conspicuous, and it would be easy for me to find out which new place they planned to cross the river, and then come to intercept them in advance.

But in this case, where are they going?

Do you want to withdraw the Britannia Empire? But the direction is wrong!

Allen was thinking and sliding his fingers. Unknowingly, his fingers had slipped to the Carolingian Kingdom, and he thought to himself:

Huh! If they go north, the only place they can go to is the Carolingian Kingdom!

Um?

Carolingian Kingdom?

Could it be that

The goal is?!

Allen's eyes gradually widened, and when he realized something, he raised his right hand high and clenched it into a fist, slamming it on the wooden table.

Allen's fist hit the wooden table, making a loud noise that startled Er on the side.
