Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

After leaving the battlefield, Hollum and his party arrived at Nuremberg, 30 kilometers northwest of the town of Gedda, on the evening of the 13th.

By this time, the Cardinals had an army of more than 2,500 men, which was less than when they left the battlefield, leaving only their early 200s.

This is the loss of falling behind and fleeing during the rapid march.

That night, all the horses outside the Nuremberg battle horses were gathered, and Hollum’s brief report was sent to the four places.

Among them, the fastest to get news is Qatar City, which is farther away.

For an intermediate aristocrat like Viscount Tiste, the way to transmit information will naturally not rely solely on the transmission of scouts.

Of course, it will not be a magical sound transmission with a fantasy color.

It is the blue feather homing pigeon that is a specialty of the Perth region that conveys the message.

The flying speed of this pigeon can reach 150 kilometers per hour, and the farthest flying distance is about 2,000 kilometers.

And because the feathers of this pigeon can gradually change between cyan and dark blue with the weather, the possibility of encountering natural enemies is also relatively small.

It can be said that less than two hours after Hollum and his entourage arrived in Nuremberg, Count Ostard had received bad news that shocked him.

Before the next morning, the same news will be delivered to the Grand Duke far away on Essien Island.

Unfortunately, the growing conditions for this pigeon are extremely harsh. Before adulthood, young pigeons have a very high mortality rate, and only nobles above the viscount can be equipped with such pigeons.

Otherwise, relying on this kind of rapid information transmission method, the Paz family's control over the principality can be greatly improved, and it will not end up in the current situation of public competition.

With the news that spread quickly, the entire Principality was in an uproar.

Regardless of whether it is far from the town of Geda, the barons and knights who are about to face the barbarian soldiers.

Even the Marquis Karl Karst, who was far away in Westsena, was shocked by the news.

No one expected that the barbarians who had thought that they would be quickly defeated under the blow of the Qatari leader could actually defeat the Principality's army head-on in a field battle.

It was not until the follow-up detailed information came that everyone's doubts about the combat effectiveness of the principality army were eliminated.

Instead, there is a strong prudence and vigilance.

Forty thousand savages are a force that no one dares to defeat easily.

...

Qatar City, the study room of Count Ostad.

It was noon, but the curtains in the study hadn't been pulled up, and the room without the candlelight was dimly dim, just like his master's mood.

Since being called in an emergency last night, the earl has been sitting at his table for nearly twenty hours.

He has always attached great importance to the noble appearance, but today he has not taken care of it seriously.

You can imagine how sloppy he looks at this moment.

But compared to the sadness in my heart, what are these things?

The earl could clearly feel how irregular the beating of the once stable and powerful heart was at this moment. Accompanied by a faint throbbing pain, his breathing became difficult.

The reason is naturally this little note on the table.

On a piece of paper less than one knuckle wide and less than five centimeters long, the shocking news that the army was defeated was written in tiny print.

The earl picked up the note more than once, for fear that he might miss any key news.

But every time, he could only fall down on the desk, clutching his chest.

There was a knock on the door.

There was no response for a long while, and Monroe pushed the door open with some panic. Looking at the father lying on the desk, he screamed "Father" and rushed to the earl in a few steps.

"It's Monroe," the earl noticed that someone came in, and sat up with great spirits.

Although the weakness in his tone was fully revealed, Monroe took a long sigh of relief and stabilized his weak body.

"The letter from the Duke is here."

First, the servant who rushed over after hearing the sound was dismissed, and then he remembered his purpose and hurriedly handed a small note to his father.

The content written above is, "The army is gathering, six thousand people, boarding the ship early on the 15th, the wooden cabinet, the black stone, and the chaff."

The information carrying capacity of Feige Chuanshu is limited and can only be represented by this short byte.

However, the meaning conveyed can be easily understood.

"It's a pity," the earl sighed and put the two notes together.

Monroe squeezed his shoulders for his father and comforted him, "In any case, the Grand Duke did not directly give up the Qatar family. The regular army of 6,000 people, plus the soldiers of other nobles under the family, can gather an army of more than 10,000 people. Enough to fight against the savages. Father doesn't need to worry too much."

He understood his son's meaning, but the earl did not show a sense of relaxation, but shook his head with a wry smile.

"The support of 6,000 people can indeed help us cope with this crisis. However, it will take some time.

I know that the wooden cabinet, the black stone, and the chaff are all large four-mast merchant ships, each of which can carry more than two hundred soldiers except for the necessary sailors.

If you add other warships and small merchant ships, you can transport 1,500 troops at a time.

But this is already the limit in the short term. It will take at least ten days to transport all 6,000 people over. In addition to the rest time necessary to adjust the state, we need at least half a month to attack the barbarians again. "

"Half a month, fifteen days," the count's smile became more bitter, "this is enough for the barbarian army to come all the way to our Qatar City.

Not to mention the villages and towns that are close. "

The father and son were silent for a while, each imagining the terrible scene.

"Or, transfer all our soldiers back."

Monroe said suddenly, what he was referring to was naturally the part of the army that the earl had arranged to guard against the marquis.

Count Ostad closed his eyes and thought for a long time, then opened his eyes and said firmly, "No."

"Whether it is the barbarian army or the Marquis of Paiano, they are difficult enemies to deal with.

At this time, it is simply seeking a dead end to demolish the east and supplement the west.

Now the threat of seeming barbarians was imminent, but at least Nuremberg was blocking it. As long as the Grand Duke’s reinforcements arrive, there are ways to deal with them.

But the Marquis of Paiano is different. If he really wants to rebel, it will definitely be out of control.

I would rather use the loss of the territories around Nuremberg to gain a chance to reverse the situation. "

As soon as he said this, the earl seemed to have recovered his former aura.

"Monroe, you send a messenger to tell the troops there that you must strengthen your guard. In any case, you must be nailed there to prevent the Marquis's people from passing."

"Yes, I will go now."

...

At the same time, Westsena City, the study of the Marquis of Karl Karst.

A few hours later than the earl, he was also handed down by the flying pigeons that the Duchy's army was defeated by the barbarians.

Although blue feather homing pigeons are indeed precious, ordinary communication pigeons can also be used to pass messages.

But the speed is slower, the risk is greater, and the cost is more expensive.

It is acceptable to convey such important news.

Unlike his old rival, the Marquis' mood was relaxed and tight now after the initial shock.

At this moment, he was looking at several staff members who were circulating the information with a pleasant smile, and from time to time he held up his teacup and sipped a sip of black tea.

The whispers among the staff not only didn't bore him, but he was quite proud of his subordinates' positive thinking performance.

These people, but the talents he has worked hard to collect, each of them has made a significant contribution to him.

Comparing the two or three kittens under the two rivals, how could he not be satisfied?

"Oh," he coughed until everyone had read the information, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Unexpectedly, the elite army of the principality actually lost to a group of mindless savages, which is really sad."

Despite this, the expression on the Marquis's face was full of smiles, without the slightest hint of sadness.

"Isn't this taken for granted? Haha, let's take a look at the commander of this army, with a little boy as the commander in command, and two lieutenants with little experience. If you don't fail, you will have a ghost."

The staff still know the thoughts of the lord very well, so naturally they will not let go of this opportunity to belittle their opponents.

"However, this is an opportunity for us. Sending troops at this time ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ will definitely defeat the Qatar-led army."

Another staff member stood up and suggested.

"I don't think so. The barbarian army is in full power at the moment, but the Qatari leadership is still there. In my opinion, there will be a fight between the two sides. Whether it is won or lost, it will be good for us. At that time No hurry to dispatch troops."

"But what if the Grand Duke supports Qatar by then?"

"That's right, both the power of the Grand Duke and the power of Qatar will be lost, which is more beneficial to us."

"No, I think the opportunity should be seized as soon as possible, and it will change after a while, just like a barbarian invasion."

Another staff member stood up and retorted.

Several people couldn't argue, and finally turned their eyes to the Marquis of Karl Karst.

The Marquis was also hesitant, but after thinking about it, he suddenly said with a smile.

"Then wait."　　　URL ()
