Start as Inherited Baroness

After reading this information, Simon took out a map to find the location of Paozi Fort, which was in the northeast of West Sedi.

It is relatively close to the Red Rock Valley in the North Wind Land. These nobles are fierce in appearance and weak in heart, and they obviously have the intention of running away easily if they cannot be defeated.

"How is the Beihan Fortress at Fengxi Mountain Pass?" Simon asked again.

This fortress guards the passage for the orcs to go south. Once it is lost, the enemy will march straight in.

"All the counts have withdrawn their troops. Currently, some viscounts and barons are jointly guarding the area.

The same is true for Morningstar City and Jackdaw Castle.

The troops are not sufficient, and once the orcs invade, they will not be able to withstand them for long.

At present, our intelligence network cannot reach the orc tribe, so we do not know their movements. "

One of the people in charge of the Eight-clawed Spider, Dark Warbler, reported.

Jackdaw Castle is also a border military fortress, considered a mountain bunker, more than 300 miles east of Beihan Fortress.

"Order the Northern Guards Corps to go north and station themselves at Beihan Fortress, and the Central Guards Corps to station themselves at Morning Star Fort and Jackdaw Castle, and set out tomorrow.

The other legions left part of their troops to garrison the castle, while the rest followed to attack Paozi Fort. "

Simon thought for a moment and ordered.

"Yes! Sir!" Gallente immediately went to convey the military order.

It would be troublesome to let the orcs in and fight again. Fortunately, the pass is not lost now. We must garrison the troops to prevent the orcs from going south again.

One day later, the Northern Guards Army and the Central Guards Army set off one after another, and Simon also led the remaining troops to develop, aiming at Paozi Fort.

After this battle, there will be no obstacles to unifying the West Side.

More than ten days later, Simon arrived at Paozi Fort.

On the way, they also defeated several barons and captured the castle as a stronghold to ensure the safety of the grain road.

Paozi Castle itself is not big, covering an area of ​​only fifty acres. If placed in the mainland, it is the size of an old baron.

But now tens of thousands of troops have gathered here, and layers of camps have been expanded on the outer layer, including earthen forts. It looks quite large.

After Simon arrived with his army, he did not rush in. Instead, he set up camp ten miles away so that he could have a place to stay and defend.

After being on guard and letting the army rest for a day, they gathered their troops and pressed towards Paozi Fort.

The current force led by Simon totals more than 50,000 people. Compared with the enemy, they have a numerical advantage.

So he put on a show of force and prepared for a decisive battle with the aristocratic coalition.

But the nobles were not stupid. They were already muttering in their hearts when they saw this scene. They huddled in the camps and castles and refused to fight in the wild.

"Simon Guardian! Why do you have to do this? We are all willing to accept your orders!"

The nobles sent a loud voice to the towering camp to shout.

"In this case, lead the army out of the city and accept the review!!" Soon, Simon also sent someone to reply.

"Please retreat the army first. In a few days we will..."

The two sides engaged in a meaningless war of words.

At this time, Simon's army had already found its fighting position and deployed its siege equipment.

"Let the Griffin Knight bring them some warmth."

Seeing that most of the enemy camps were made of wood, Simon couldn't help but sneer.

"Yes!" The herald immediately went to deliver the news.

After a while, the three griffons took off, and they flew above the camp, six to seven hundred meters above the ground, out of the range of the crossbow.

Immediately afterwards, the ignited fire jars landed on the camp of the noble coalition, and soon, raging fires broke out.

"Put out the fire! Put out the fire quickly!" the knights and other officers shouted loudly.

"Help! Ah!" The soldiers whose bodies were set on fire ran away.

The fire lasted for several hours, and the camps that stretched for several miles outside Paozi Fort were burned to the ground.

There was even a smell of burnt meat in the air, and countless enemy soldiers perished in the flames.

"Haha, these nobles are stupid. They built such a large wooden camp and didn't take any reliable fire prevention measures."

Seeing this, Simon smiled jokingly and reached out to touch the head of the golden-headed eagle beside him.

This eagle was recently tamed by him using the spirit control technique. It is considered a relatively ferocious bird in the Eagle Kingdom, but it is also very rare and rarely seen in the mainland.

Simon patted the golden-headed eagle gently, and it immediately jumped forward, then stretched out its wingspan several meters long, took a slight approach, and took off into the air.

After a while, the golden-headed eagle was hovering over the Paozi Fort, somewhat like it was hovering.

At this time, Simon's eyes glowed with blue light, and his perspective was synchronized with the eagle.

The layout and number of the troops in the city can be seen at a glance.

Except for some temporary earth forts, there are no other camps left outside the city, and the smell of fireworks is everywhere.

"My Lord Earl, now that the enemy is in a panic, they can attack." Sarit suggested.

"Well, you lead the Eastern Guards Army to fight, and I will use artillery to clear the way for you.

The vanguard and rearguard corps guarded the two flanks, and Urit led the southern guard corps as a reserve. Simon nodded and ordered.

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Salit respectfully accepted the order and left.

Not long after, there was a loud bang, the outer wall of an earthen fort was smashed, and several soldiers standing guard fell into the dust.

These hastily crafted defense facilities are very brittle and not strong.

In the era of cold weapons, it was still somewhat effective in blocking enemy troops. In front of artillery, it was nothing more than a shoddy project.

Loud noises were heard again, and all the earth forts outside the Paozi Fort were blasted open.

At this time, it was Sarit who led the Eastern Guards on the battlefield.

"Kill!" He drew his sword and shouted, and the soldiers rushed away and divided into several parts, mixed with siege equipment such as block trucks.

The spearmen at the front are extremely cost-effective, and the heavy infantry in heavy armor are in the middle.

"They are coming! Stop them! Stop them for me!!" There are nobles stationed in the earthen fort, usually knights or barons.

These nobles have their own soldiers, so they still have some fighting power.

They lined up at the gap and fought with the soldiers of the East Guard Corps.

At first, they fought back and forth with the spearmen who rushed over, but once the heavy infantry behind them rushed over, they could not stop them at all.

"My lord! Retreat quickly! Their heavy infantry is quite powerful, and they seem to be all golden warriors!"

A bloody knight found the baron who was sitting in the earthen fort and shouted to report.

"Go! Let's go!" The baron looked broad and fat, but he was willing to accept the advice.

However, as soon as they ran out of the long house, the defenders blocking the gap had collapsed, and the defeat was like a mountain collapsing. Thousands of people were like headless flies, running around everywhere.

"Quick! Take out the white flag! We surrender!!" the baron with a face full of flesh said in panic.

The butler who followed him immediately took out the white flag from his arms and found a spear to hang it.

"Surrender! Surrender! Surrender quickly..." He shouted from the heights.

This scene was also played out in several other earthen forts.

However, there was still a baron who was unwilling to give up and tried to escape, but was surrounded and killed on the spot.

More than four hours later, all the earthen forts guarding the outer perimeter of Paozi Fort were captured. There were a total of nine forts, with about 10,000 defenders stationed.

Simon only used one East Guard Corps, which suffered some damage, but not serious, and still had the strength to fight again.
