Chapter 524: Your Highness! Don’t Want It at Home?
"Prepare the army for war!" Renault patted the two of them on the shoulders and handed them the message.
"Announce the message to everyone! At least tell the soldiers what they are going to face!" Regardless of their reactions, Renault shook his head and walked away. After all, for Renault, it was the same whether he announced it or not. He had to fight with him anyway. The orc army collided.
"Brush!" Renault drew out his long sword and held a sword flower in his hand. He looked at the figure reflected on the blade of the sword. The young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes had already seen a trace of sadness and vicissitudes of life in the corners of his eyes.
"For Your Highness!" he whispered.
…
"Hey... how to adjust the troops?" Roland tilted his head and bit his quill, looking at the system in the void and thinking.
At present, the troops directly under Roland in the entire Lagrand Kingdom have 3,543 troops! Among them, there are 110 Knights of Holy Glory: Second-order Lagran Empire Pioneer Knights. Lagrand City Guards: 200 second-level warriors. Badanian Archers: 800 second-level archers. Dovinian heavy swordsmen: 100 second-level swordsmen. El Nino Ranger: 100 second-level rangers. Rangers of Lordaeron: 50 second-level rangers. Raglan Royal Guards: 200 (Level 3) Rapids Legion: 1,500 Rapids Infantry. Recruit light infantry: 200 light infantry. Lagrand Heavy Cavalry: 100 heavy cavalry. Priest: 8 second-level priests. Mage: 1 second-level fire mage. Crusader Lancers and Shields: 100. Crusader Archers: 300. Crusader heavy shield soldiers: 20. Cross Bauhinia Knights: 15 (second level). Duchy Hussars: 26. Woodland Warriors: 10 second-level warriors. Griffin Knights: 4 (second level). Although they look like they have a lot of troops, in fact they are definitely not enough for such a large company as the kingdom.
"The cavalry must be pulled out. After all, a mobile force is needed to act as a fire brigade. 110 Lagrand vanguard knights, 100 heavy cavalry, 26 light cavalry, 5 gryphon knights, 2 dragoon generals..." Roland Picking up the pen to write and draw, I couldn't help but frown. Sure enough, when the time came for the soldiers to be used, Fang Henshao...
"Lulong cannot be lost, we need the strongest fist there!" Roland thought for a moment and wrote decisively.
"Garrison the Lulong Fortress, all the Rapid Infantry! 200 Lagrand City guards should also be stationed there! All 800 Batania shooters will be stationed! The Dovinian heavy swordsmen will also stay there, and the iron can is the fortress The most needed thing. El Nino Ranger... Forget it, let them stay in Lulong Fortress. Their meteor dragon arrows are natural enemies against dragon-blooded creatures. God knows if Sauron has equipped those Nazgul with demon flying dragons. Roland said to himself, drawing a circle for the El Niño Rangers, confirming their intention to station in Lulong.
"Now Lulong has an army of 2,700 people... Tsk tsk tsk! There are more than the current capital! These people should be enough to run the Lulong Fortress. The rest of the Crusaders can come back to defend Rapid City. The priests are divided The four have passed, and so has the fire spell..." Roland hummed while writing and drawing.
…
"Ah! Are you crazy, Your Highness! Don't you want me?" Ormsk's eyes almost popped out when he held the order. The abominable evil actually disguised himself as my lord? Hey! Look at the sword!
"There's so much nonsense. Hurry up and mobilize your troops! I hope everyone can return to their positions before the orc army arrives!" Roland kicked Ormsk, who was tampering with him angrily, and said with an unlucky look on his face. Roland said with dignity. King Raglan is not as good as Longyang.
"No? You don't want Rapid City anymore?" Ormsk's eyes widened. Could it be that His Highness is feeling uncomfortable staying in this small broken city and plans to move the capital?
"???" Roland looked over with an idiot look.
Ormsk seemed to understand Roland's thoughts and quickly waved his orders and shouted with joy: "What's the difference between transferring the troops and abandoning Rapid City? Is Marcus going to defend the city with young infantry and crusaders?" ?”
At this time, the Lavian knight who happened to be passing by twitched his long ears, mmp! I feel offended!
"Let me take a look?" The principal, Marcus, also heard the sound and came over. After saluting Roland, he took the command without waiting for Ormsk to speak.
"Pfft!" Marcus, who had a calm face at first, almost spat out a mouthful of blood. This was more than just a mess! With this force, Marcus felt that there was no need to defend the city wall, so he retreated directly to the lord's castle! I have to mention here the dedication of Marcus and Lance. With the continuous reinforcement and expansion of the original two-story Lord's Castle, it is now five stories high! Moreover, four auxiliary castles have been added to the side, and the current lord's castle can barely meet the requirements of a king.
"This time the orcs are coming fiercely. Lulong Fortress is the first line of defense. It has no backup. We can only allocate as many troops as possible..." Roland explained leisurely.
"What about Rapid City? Should I take the light infantry and the orcs?" Marcus' eyes widened.
"That's not the case. Don't forget that there are still more than 20,000 residents in the city. It's okay to mobilize the power of the masses when necessary!" Roland waved his hand. If the orcs really came to the city, not to mention the young and strong, even the women would have to hold it. The kitchen knife goes to the battlefield!
"This..." Ormsk and Marcus looked at each other.
"I'm afraid the casualties..." What Ormsk didn't say was that the casualties would probably shock everyone. After all, civilians without training and their passion... no one knew how miserable they would be.
"It's better than the city and the fortress falling! Besides, they may not be able to reach here!" Roland shook his head. Besides, the orcs may not be able to reach the rapids. After all, they must first defeat the rapids if they want to reach the rapids. The Lulong Fortress besieged the city and then broke through the mobile harassment of various knights of the Lagrand Kingdom. Only when the two dragon knight generals were held back could they see the Rapid City.
"Alas..." Ormsk sighed.
"I will try my best to arrange the city defense!" Marcus was ignited with fighting spirit. For a city defense officer, it was no less than a shame to let the common people take the field after the battle.
"Relax, maybe those rubbish won't appear in front of us at all? If I put his two wings of defense, they can't get through! A bunch of dirty bastards want to bypass Lulong Fortress?" Roland snorted disdainfully, really Is this war fortress dyed black and purple with the blood of orcs a joke?
"..." Ormsk had some bad premonitions at this moment. After all, Roland's flag was too outrageous. Ormsk's eyes showed a bit of worry... If the orcs really come around, then it will be up to the Knights and them. It’s time to get desperate.
But soon Ormsk shook his head, even if they didn't bypass Lulong, they would have to risk their lives! After all, according to King Roland's past command strategies, the Knights must be the first line of troops to engage the Orcs. The Knights, who are durable and easy to use, must consume the Orcs' troops and energy along the way...
Omsk laughed instantly when he thought of this, haha! It's Marcus' turn to have a headache. He doesn't have to think about how to deploy hundreds of soldiers and horses for defense. He just leads his troops out to kill people. I have nothing to do with city defense!
