Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 49 Conflict

Early next morning.

A large team is gathering on the edge of the Grand Highlands.

The burly Herman Buckley was riding on a tall Northland horse. He squinted and looked in the direction of the Grand Highlands in the distance.

For this long-planned conquest, almost all the soldiers of the Sauron Territory were dispatched. Except for a small number of knights left to defend the city, almost all the armed forces of the Sauron Territory gathered here.

And this is where Herman Barkley's confidence lies.

Behind him, ragged civilian soldiers were being forced to assemble, driven by the knights of Sauron.

They all looked sickly, with their heads lowered and carrying some messy weapons in their hands, such as hoes, mallets, kitchen knives...

They were poorly equipped and had no food, but they were large in number. At first glance, they numbered three to four hundred people.

Although it seems a bit nonsense to let these old and weak soldiers go to the battlefield, these civilian soldiers are cannon fodder prepared by Herman Buckley. They are only used to consume the soldiers of Idar Territory, not what Herman Buckley relies on. major force.

Earl Sauron handed over almost all of his soldiers to the command of Herman Barkley. They were wearing slightly old chainmail and holding sharp swords in their hands. At first glance, they were not that crooked group. The civilian soldiers of Melon Split Date can be compared.

In addition, there were more than fifty tall and powerful knights riding tall horses following Herman Barkley.

These people are real knights!

The unified imperial-style armor and shiny helmets wrapped them tightly. The colorful feathers on the helmets were intertwined with each other, making them look very lively.

"Sir, the soldiers have all been assembled." Not long after, the adjutant came with the news.

"I can't wait!" said Herman Barkley.

After that, he turned his head and said loudly to the knights behind him: "My knights! Today will be the day when we completely annex the Glen Highlands! Drive those Idar people out of the Glen Highlands forever! Let The flag of the Buckley family is flying in every corner of the Glen Highlands! For the Sauron Territory——"

"For the Sauron Territory—" the knights behind him sparsely replied.

"Set off!"

After all, Herman Barkley took the lead, leading the knights and the slovenly civilian soldiers behind him towards the Glen Highlands...

…

Bruno had already received the news from the spies.

Herman Barkley's march was not concealed at all, it was generous and slow, just like an outing.

"I have withdrawn all the serfs living in the Glen Highlands."

In the lord's castle, Old Ford was reporting to his lord the movements of Sauron's army: "This attack has a large number of people, led by Herman Barkley, the eldest son of Earl Sauron, personally, and there are nearly 100 people accompanying the army. Fifty knights, nearly a hundred soldiers, and three to four hundred civilian soldiers, the entire Sauron army has almost turned out..."

"So, there are more than 500 people in total?"

"That's almost the amount." Old Ford nodded.

Although Bruno was used to hearing about wars involving hundreds of thousands of people in his previous life, in the past, he only thought that conflicts between hundreds of people were like children fighting.

But... when the "war" was about to come, he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Idar's army was at a numerical disadvantage, with only 300 standing troops and 50 personal guards.

Due to various historical issues, the guards of the Idar Territory are actually equivalent to the knights of the Sauron Territory. Both are cavalry with knight titles.

The Stuart family had always been the imperial generals of the Norman Empire before being enfeoffed to the Idar territory, and most of today's personal guards are descendants of the generals who once followed the Stuart family. .

Originally, Bruno's bodyguards should have numbered a hundred people, but because fifty bodyguards were previously transferred to form the Saltworks Guard, the number was reduced to fifty.

And because he quickly started to form a new army, the number of personal guards has not been replenished and is still at fifty.

Although a battle is about to break out, the soldiers guarding the Cape Saltworks cannot move casually. After all, it is the most important source of wealth in the Idar Territory, and there is no room for any mistakes.

Three hundred and fifty people faced more than five hundred people, which made Bruno a little worried... After all, the disadvantage in numbers was obvious.

Bruno is very confident in his rigorously trained soldiers.

However, this was the first battle of the standing army after all, so he was under extraordinarily high pressure at this time.

"How is the production of the Wind Arrow?" Bruno asked.

"I have worked overtime these days, and I have only made more than a hundred and eleven in total." Anel said.

Bruno nodded. After all, Anel was only one person. Being able to make about a hundred arrows was already considered very good.

More than a hundred wind arrows, if used properly, can play a great role!

Think about it, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net One of the most important advantages of the Wind Arrow is its long range. When both sides have archers, the side with the longer range will definitely have a great advantage.

"How are the preparations for the standing army?" Bruno looked at Sam Layton.

"Every one of the soldiers is excited!" Sam Layton said quickly: "They are very enthusiastic about fighting. After all, they have gone through so many days of training. I believe they will be able to beat up the piles of crooked melons and cracked dates on the opposite side. One meal, there’s no problem with that!”

"Very good! But... what I need is not just to beat up the opponent. Since Earl Sauron hopes to eat the Glen Highlands in one go, we must also have such energy!" Bruno said fiercely! said.

"what do you mean……"

"The Idar Territory has been passively defending for too long! Instead of being in a stalemate with the Sauron Territory for the Grand Highlands day by day, it is better to take down the Grand Highlands in one go! I believe that Idar's standing army has this ability! "Bruno looked at Sam sharply.

Since you have been bullied right at your doorstep, why not fight back?

In Bruno's view, no one can interfere with his own farming business!

Since Earl Sauron has been coveting the Glen Highlands, he must be frightened and crippled so that he will never have the chance to reach out to the Glen Highlands again!

"We can!" Sam said quickly: "But... the rest is nothing to worry about. The standing army can completely beat up the soldiers and civilian soldiers of the Sauron Kingdom, but the knights of the Sauron Kingdom have to guard against... …”

"Don't worry, our bodyguard cavalry are not vegetarians. Besides...I have already prepared special weapons for the bodyguards..."
