Chapter 264 Reinforcements Falling from the Sky

Grand Duke Rickman led the army to take a short rest in the castle.

The angry Joyce arrested several local residents and interrogated them fiercely before he realized that all his wealth had been distributed to the poor in the castle by Redel.

Moreover, some people followed each other and ran away before they arrived.

Joyce was so angry that he cursed and immediately gathered all the poor people who were still stranded in the territory and ordered them to return all the collected property and to hand over an additional twenty silver coins as punishment.

Those who can't afford it will be whipped!

At first, Joyce personally carried out the execution, beating several of the citizens until their flesh and blood were blurred. After he was exhausted and panting, he breathed a sigh of relief and handed the matter over to the guards for execution.

Some poor people who were reluctant to part with their fields and houses, or who were not optimistic about Redel and did not obey the other party's order to escape outside for a while, felt extremely regretful. At the same time, their resentment towards Joyce was even deeper.

As for the nobles and wealthy businessmen who hid in tunnels and dark rooms and escaped everything, they were delighted. Joyce denounced Redel's banditry and even spontaneously assembled a private army of 500 people to let Joyce

Si is responsible for taking command, kill those damn mine slaves, and get their treasure back!

This was obviously an unexpected surprise for Joyce. Before, he had even considered recruiting some poor people to form temporary serf soldiers. At least, he could strengthen his momentum and not leave himself without any manpower at all. He could only rely on

The Grand Duke's Guards.

It's much more convenient now, and he even sent his own troops to carry hoes and mine manuscripts to the battlefield. It really loses the dignity of the nobles.

At night, the spies previously sent out reported one after another that they found traces of the mining slaves more than ten kilometers away from the castle. They were a large and sparse group of people, roughly estimated to be tens of thousands of people.

"It seems they haven't gone far yet!" Rickman breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that these people would break into pieces and disappear without a trace, unable to fulfill the prince's instructions. That would be the real trouble.

.

"Continue to follow me, but don't alert them!" Rickman warned, not intending to pursue them at night, but preparing to rest here for the night.

The previous encounters had made Rickman understand the insidiousness of the other party, and pursuing him in the dark in the middle of the night might cause him trouble again.

Strive to intercept the opponent in the plain area ahead, and all the dirty tricks will be uncovered!

Thinking of this, Rickman shook his head and said with a sneer. "If these stupid mining slaves stick to this castle, it might take more time to deal with them."

"They must have heard of your reputation, so they were frightened and fled in panic. Even if they have a strong castle wall to rely on, they can't make up for their inner weakness!" Joyce said flatteringly.

Rickman couldn't help laughing, and a group of nobles also echoed their words. They gathered together and talked loudly, imagining what a generous reward the generous His Highness Harold would give him after this victory.

"By the way, where is His Highness the Second Prince? Why didn't I hear anything he did when I was in the capital?"

Listening to everyone's bragging, Rickman suddenly remembered this matter and felt vaguely uneasy. Regarding the establishment of the crown prince, the other party should be very anxious about this matter.

"I heard that His Highness Hattar and several earls had disagreements over the deployment of the army. It may have been delayed because of this." A baron responded in a deep voice.

"There is internal strife at such a critical juncture. His Royal Highness the Second Prince is indeed unfit to ascend the throne..." Rickman said mockingly, feeling completely relieved.

There were reports from spies before. A count who supported Hattar led a vanguard army. There were not many people, hanging far behind him. It seemed that he was unwilling to do so, so he sent someone to observe them at all times.

trends.

"Then let them see with their own eyes how we crushed those mining slaves!" Rickman said decisively, and then raised the wine glass in his hand. "For our victory, and for King Harold!"

Everyone present also raised their glasses and shouted in unison for His Majesty Harold!

…

Early the next morning, when the genius dawned, Archduke Rickmann summoned an army to pursue them. However, these people could not escape, and even sent a cavalry brigade to go ahead and drive them to a suitable location.

Rickman has a huge appetite. Not only does he want to defeat the rioting mine slaves, he is also ready to annihilate them all in one go!

Such a hearty victory is his best gift to the new king!

However, things did not always go as planned. Pursued by the cavalry, Redel led his men all the way to a valley and defended on the spot. However, it did not work as Rickman expected. Due to the unfavorable terrain, the cavalry did not continue the pursuit.

.

"If I had known we would be blocked here, we might as well have defended in the castle. Maybe we would have had a chance." Ham complained. Now that they were trapped in this valley, they couldn't even run.

"That fortress belongs to Earl Joyce. No one knows if he has left any backup plans. Then internal and external difficulties will be even more troublesome." Reidel explained, and then said with a smile. "And we are waiting.

It’s not that there is no result, the reinforcements have arrived, haven’t they?”

"Reinforcements? Where are they?" Ham asked in confusion.

"It's in the sky!" Redel said with confidence.

Ham and others looked up at the sky blankly, but there was nothing above.

Redel didn't see anything, but he firmly believed that the reinforcements had arrived because the wizard told him personally.

The next moment, all the mining slaves felt that the ground seemed to shake violently, and then a burst of light surged in the empty valley, and airships appeared in front of everyone.

Ham and others stared dumbfounded at the exquisite creations in front of them that were difficult to describe in their shallow language. Each ship was more than twenty meters high. When they thought about Redel saying that reinforcements came from the sky, someone immediately shouted

shouted.

"This must be a creation of God! God has come to save us!"

In the eyes of these desperate mining slaves who had never seen magic, these airships that suddenly appeared in the valley were like gods sent to save them!

For a time, the shouts spread throughout the valley, and many mining slaves knelt down to worship these behemoths that were taller than the houses.
