Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

For most common people in the interior of the empire, the golden autumn of October should have been a busy season.

It is both the harvest season and the prelude to cooler weather.

Piles of wheat are in urgent need of harvest, and civilians in their spare time have to prepare for the cold winter ahead.

The nobles are usually busy counting the harvests in their territories, and urging the commoners and serfs to pay taxes for the year on time.

But,

In this year,

This scene is completely different.

When the lands in the northern frontier of the empire fell one after another, and countless nobles in the northern frontier died unexpectedly, the Norman Empire's imperial army finally began to advance northward.

After paying huge casualties and several months, the soldiers of the Norman Empire finally stabilized their position on the Sogné Plain and stopped Odin's army from continuing to attack southward.

The Sogn Plain is known as the "crossroads" in the north of the empire. Countless roads converge here and it is the transportation hub leading to the western and central parts of the empire.

For hundreds of years, the Cornelus family has been the master of the Sognen Plain. With its powerful private soldiers and huge family wealth, it controls this battleground for military strategists.

But... everything owned by the Cornelus family was ultimately reduced to nothing under the iron heel of the Odin people.

only,

This was not due to the burning, killing and looting carried out by the Odin people on the Sogn Plains, but because of the arrival of nearly 100,000 imperial soldiers...

Imperial Marshal Teodoro Lawton led the Imperial soldiers to arrive belatedly, and also brought orders from the Imperial Emperor.

then,

While resisting the attacks of the Odins, the imperial soldiers who were directly affiliated with the Norman royal family, on the charge of "avoiding fighting and suspected of being collaborators with the enemy", completely wiped out this family that had been on the mainland for hundreds of years.

On a normal day, such a move would undoubtedly cause an uproar.

However, under the threat of the barbaric Odin people who regarded the nobles as cattle and horses, many nobles on the mainland suddenly fell silent at this time.

After all, compared to the emperor, who may still have a trace of humanity, those menacing Odin talents are the nightmare of many nobles.

Those nobles who were brutally executed after being captured were a naked precedent before their eyes!

Although neither side is probably a good thing for them, in the final analysis, the threat from the Odin people is still more fearful.

Bruno already knew roughly what happened on the Sogn Plain, and it was precisely because of this that he paid more and more attention to the armament situation of the Idar Territory, and continued to reorganize and expand the Idar standing army.

Bruno did not believe that the Norman emperor, who had made it clear that he wanted to reestablish the authority of the royal family, would be lenient to the nobles in the future. Even if he restrained himself after defeating the Odin people, it was most likely just a frog boiled in warm water.

Therefore, as a member of the nobility, he naturally had to make plans early.

But it is said that the number of soldiers of the Norman army on the Sogn Plain alone who can directly participate in the battle has reached 100,000.

On the other hand, Odin's army on the other side only had more than 50,000 people combined.

But even though the numerical difference between the two sides was close to 2 to 1, and the attacking side was still at a numerical disadvantage, the two sides were barely even.

From this, the combat effectiveness of Odin's army can be seen.

Today, the 10,000 Odin cavalry led by Odin Marshal Portia Mariano who crossed the Forest of Warcraft to attack the Norman Empire have joined the army of Odin Lord O'Sullivan. Peacefully stationed in the plains.

As for the Norman Empire, in addition to the Norman Emperor's most trusted general, Imperial Marshal Teodoro Lawton, the second prince Rez Alexander also went with the army, vowing to drive the Odin people back to the Armandche Plain.

Actually... the Odin people are in no rush to fight now.

Because the armies of both sides faced each other in the Sogné Plain, and to the north of the Sogné Plain, countless Odins were riding horses, driving the people in the occupied areas of the Norman Empire to harvest wheat and move cart after cart of grain and grass. The baggage is transported to the Odin Empire and the frontline positions in the Sogn Plains.

The longer the confrontation lasted, the more thorough the Odin people's search for the northern part of the empire became.

but……

Perhaps Teodoro Lawton, the marshal of the Norman Empire, did have an excellent strategic sense and overall concept, or perhaps the Norman Emperor finally remembered that the land and people in the northern border were also part of his wealth, so... …

After realizing the Odin people's conspiracy, relying on their numerical advantage, the Norman army under the command of Teodoro Lawton launched a frantic attack on the soldiers of the Odin Empire.

Through war, the Odin Empire can consume excess population.

But in comparison, the number of people in the Norman Empire was countless.

As a result, a large number of serfs carrying black bread were driven to the battlefield to consume the arrows and energy of the Odins.

The life of a serf is not life;

This is a deep-rooted view engraved in the subconscious of almost all nobles.

For every ten arrows fired by Odin's soldiers, four or five serfs would fall on the battlefield, but even so, serfs recruited from all over the Norman Empire continued to flow in an endless stream.

Even though these Odin soldiers who have been hunting in the mountains and fishing in the sea since childhood are extremely brave, they are not invulnerable NPCs, so much so that they gradually showed their decline under Teodoro Lawton's desperate attack.

There was no way, the number of serfs in the Norman Empire was too many. In this era when human life was as trivial as a piece of grass, this was a huge advantage unique to the Norman Empire.

First, use serfs for consumption, UU reading www. uukanshu.ｔｔ When the imperial soldiers charged, the unpretentious tactics brought huge casualties. However, it was precisely under this tactic of killing eight hundred enemies and damaging one thousand that the Odin people finally emerged. I have decided to quit...

Fight or withdraw?

The young Lord Odin, O'Sullivan, finally had to face this dilemma...

…

Saint Lawrence.

A heavily armed knight was speeding down the wide central street of St. Lawrence. If he hadn't been carrying urgent military information from the Sogné Plain, he might have been intercepted by the guards of St. Lawrence as soon as he entered the city.

The afterglow of the setting sun was reflected on the steps of the Regency Council and fell on Duke Dorin's tired body.

Leaning against the marble pillars outside the Regency Council, a sense of powerlessness enveloped Yersin Paris's heart.

The fall of Dorin Territory dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Duke, making him the first Duke to lose his territory since the founding of the Norman Empire.

The knight running straight towards the palace was wearing polished and shiny armor.

As a nobleman who has lived for most of his life, he can guess that the empire has won another "victory" just from the appearance of the messenger. Even if it is not a victory, the Norman Empire has at least gained an advantage...

For him, this is good news and bad news.

Today's royal family wants to get rid of the influence of the Regency Council on the political situation, and wants to regain the supreme majesty exclusive to the emperor.

As for myself, as one of the five regent dukes in the Regency Council, a down-and-out duke who has lost all his territory and private army, he is undoubtedly a good breakthrough point...

Duke Dorin raised his head and stared at the palace not far away, silent for a long time.
