Chapter 1029, Rescue, Rescue with Great Fanfare!!!

"Da da da~"

Chel Knight's horse trampled on the scorched earth.

The border between Hastings and the Kingdom of Wright.

It was originally a territory belonging to the Kingdom of Hastings.

Later, during the war, the knights of the Wright Kingdom instigated the rebellion of the Hastings border nobles.

He also received help from a large number of mercenaries.

Let this land that originally belonged to Hasting be taken away.

From then on, Hastings lost the channel to attack the Leyte Kingdom.

It has been on the defensive at the border for a long time.

Even the land near the sea was forcibly ceded.

It became the current Kingdom of Leiden.

This is a shame in the history of the Kingdom of Hastings.

All the nobles looked forward to one day regaining their lost territory.

The king of Hastings even made his promise publicly.

The nobles who regained their lost lands could establish their own country.

It's a pity that a hundred years have passed.

Hasting never had the opportunity to set foot on this land.

Until today!

Sir Chel brought Hasting's warriors with him and stood on this former homeland.

Three thousand knights.

After being reduced to zero.

There were only 30 knights with him.

But Sir Chel was undeterred.

Although the number is small.

But the combat effectiveness is not weak.

They are all magic crystal warriors trained by their families.

With them by your side, you can always cope with emergencies.

The horses galloped along the road.

soon!

A castle suddenly appeared in the middle of the road.

Blocking everyone's way.

"Your Majesty."

"Our current location is almost the same route as the previous patrolling knights of the Wright Kingdom."

"Ahead is the castle where the patrolling knights are stationed."

"There should be no one stationed now!"

Ser Chel shook his head.

"No, I see there are still soldiers there."

"Take five knights with you."

"Take this castle."

The castle in the distance is a typical watchtower castle.

An earthen platform built on flat ground.

A trench was dug, with a stone sentry tower in the middle.

There is a wall around it.

The walls are not thick, but they look extremely strong.

The real focus of defense is still on the guard tower.

The sentry tower is built of stone.

The exterior is polished smooth.

There are five floors.

Standing in the middle of the road, it occupies the commanding heights.

There are shooting holes all around the guard tower.

At the top, you can also see a powerful bed crossbow.

Generally, this kind of sentry tower also has a basement.

Used to store supplies.

The five-story sentry tower on the ground is the equipment warehouse, rest room, combat level, observation level and command level.

Within the guard tower, there are 50 troops stationed regularly.

Counting the temporarily stationed patrol knights, the number can reach 100.

After the station is full.

Such a five-story sentry tower would not be able to carry siege equipment if it did not carry it.

Even if there are ten times the number of people, there is no way to break through.

Even with siege equipment.

It is also easy to be destroyed by the bed crossbow.

I want to really pry open this turtle shell.

The only way is to bomb the Alchemy Puppet.

If only five magic crystal warriors could conquer such a well-defended fortress.

That is undoubtedly a foolish dream.

but!

Sir Chel issued such an order.

Five magic crystal warriors rode on war horses and quickly arrived outside the fortress.

That's when.

There was a "whoosh" in the sentry tower.

An arrow flew out.

Hit the armor of a magic crystal warrior.

There was a "dang" sound.

"There are actually guards."

"snort."

"An attack of this level looks down on us."

"Climb up!"

The magic crystal warrior jumped off his horse, then turned over and entered the guard tower wall.

Then the arrows in the sentry tower began to become denser.

pity!

There is still no way to cause harm to them.

The five magic crystal warriors held battle axes and began to cut down the gate of the sentry tower despite the damage from the arrows.

A full twenty minutes later.

There was a "click" sound.

The heavy ironwood door was hacked open.

The magic crystal warrior rushed in.

Drag out an old soldier.

"Your Majesty."

"He is the only one left in the entire sentry tower."

Sir Chel took a look and waved.

"It's of little value."

"Do it!"

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Cut down with a long knife.

The old soldier's head is missing.

"There are no cavalry on patrol, no guards stationed at the castle."

"It seems that there is really no one left in the Wright Kingdom."

The words just fell.

There was a shaking sound from the ground.

Then a cavalry galloped over.

"No, it's the support cavalry of the Wright Kingdom."

Sir Chel saw this.

A faint sneer.

"Come here now, it's too late."

"Send the order, retreat."

At this time, the knight next to him asked.

"Sir, we are not here to investigate."

"Why are we retreating here?"

Sir Chell waved his hand.

"No need."

"They are really undermanned."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The chasing cavalry did not pursue them for long, and then watched them leave.

Not long after Sir Chel returned.

The three thousand cavalry who dispersed also brought news.

The watchtowers everywhere were deserted.

But after going deeper, they all encountered fierce resistance.

The cavalry of the Wright Kingdom seemed to be preventing them from investigating inward.

Fully 1/3 of the three thousand reconnaissance cavalry were lost.

After Sir Chel learned about this situation.

Looking at the border defense line of the Kingdom of Wright.

Then he murmured.

"The territory that has been lost for hundreds of years is finally coming back."

"Leave five hundred people to continue the investigation."

"The rest of the knights return with me."

"As you command!"

"Is the information accurate?"

The Kingdom of Hasting looked at Sir Chel who returned.

"Return to your Excellency, it is absolutely true."

"There are no soldiers in the other side's castle."

"The resistance of those cavalry is just to cover up their own weakness."

"I request to lead 5,000 cavalry to break through the defense line and invade the Kingdom of Leyte."

His request was immediately opposed.

"No!"

"This time the intelligence shows that even the cavalry of the Kingdom of Wright has left."

"But the strength of the entire line of defense is staggering."

"And they still have some of their cavalry left."

"I think since we are going to fight, we cannot divide our forces."

"Concentrate all our forces and break through from one direction."

"Forcing the Kingdom of Wright to mobilize cavalry from all over the country for support."

"We just need to defeat their supporting cavalry."

"The entire defense line will no longer have any mobile forces."

"The defense line of the Wright Kingdom is the back garden where we can enter and exit at will."

Compared to Sir Chel's division of troops.

Obviously this suggestion is more reliable.

But Sir Chel was unconvinced.

Still want to argue.

But the king knew what he was going to say.

But it is safer to divide the troops.

Even if there is really an ambush.

After dividing the troops, they were only ambushed along the way.

Other roads can retreat in time.

But that's a stupid idea.

If the war is just about protecting oneself.

Then don't come out at all.

King Hasting is more willing to risk everything for an upright war.

Defeat the enemy head-on.

Even if you lose, you can be glorious.

"That's enough."

"Stop talking."

"Just follow this plan."

"Fifty thousand troops, mixed together to launch an attack."

"We will divide our troops to garrison the castles captured along the way."

"Guarantee our retreat, even if the other party really has a trap when the time comes."

"We don't need to worry about our back roads being cut off."

"As you command!"

Then the 50,000-strong army determined the direction of attack and divided into three parts.

Forward, center and rear.

The vanguard consisted of the most elite soldiers.

Use maximum speed to break through the enemy's defense line.

Attract enemy cavalry.

The Chinese army advanced steadily.

Back up the forwards.

The rear army is guarding the retreat.

The captured fortresses and logistical supply lines are all for the rear army.

at the same time!

The king also finished a little trick.

2,000 cavalry were separated.

Attack from the other two directions to confuse the enemy.

Just this little trick is like playing house in the eyes of the Commander-in-Chief.

"Finally!"

After the Commander-in-Chief heard the news.

He also breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't dare to send too much of the power of temptation.

Don’t dare to have too little.

I'm afraid that the Hastings noble cavalry won't come.

Fortunately, his troops were stuck on the opponent's psychological line.

An army of 50,000 people rushed directly to their defense lines.

Then I saw 2,000 cavalry on both wings.

The Holy Son Commander shook his head.

"Someone is coming."

"Tell the legions on both wings."

"Look for an opportunity to get out of the guard tower and eat these 2,000 cavalry."

"As you command!"

Then he looked at the main cavalry in front.

"Now that it has appeared, it is the meat that has reached my mouth."

"Eat whatever you want."

"Send the order to the attack line and start replenishing troops as planned."

"But it doesn't need to be too much. It needs to lure them at least 100 kilometers into our territory."

At this distance, the opponent cannot run away even if he comes in.

"attack!"

The forward led by Sir Chel, in one day.

They captured 20 castles and 10 fortresses.

50 kilometers deep into the Kingdom of Leyte.

As for the defensive strongholds like sentry towers.

There were hundreds more punches.

It has to be said that the defense lines of the Wright Kingdom are too tight.

Even most of the guard towers and strongholds are no longer occupied.

But such a dense defense point left Sir Chel stunned.

He calculated.

If this place is full and they really want to storm.

That captured so many defensive strongholds.

An army of at least 100,000 is needed.

A mere fifty thousand troops.

Not even enough to fill in the lines.

Good thing!

All the troops of the Wright Kingdom were taken away.

There are no defenders on the sentry tower.

The castle has at most a hundred people.

If there were more forts, there would only be two thousand people.

But how could these numbers of people be able to guard against these five thousand elite men who were like wolves and tigers.

Fifty kilometers of advancement line.

The number of soldiers killed under Sir Chel's command was less than five hundred.

After taking down the fortress in front of him.

Ser Chel's vanguard stopped.

Because keep moving forward.

It was equivalent to breaking through the defense line built by the Wright Kingdom.

Deep into the territory of the Wright Kingdom.

To prevent being ambushed by the enemy.

Sir Cher gave the order.

500 knights entered, and the rest of the knights guarded the fortress and waited for the arrival of the central army.

Now he was waiting for the return of the 500 knights who were on reconnaissance.

"Report!"

"Sir."

At this time, under the fortress.

The knights who were on reconnaissance returned one by one.

"The latest intelligence."

"A 3,000-man Alpha cavalry attacked the rear of the Kingdom of Light."

"Now all the nearby legions have been transferred there."

"There is no cavalry in the entire area."

"There are many warehouses, which are the supply bases of the Kingdom of Light."

Hearing this news.

Sir Cher was very happy.

"Okay, okay."

"Alpha's cavalry is worthy of being our helper."

"These are all supply warehouses."

"Come here, bring a message to His Majesty the King."

"There are no enemies here."

"You can march at full speed."

"Pass my order."

"Leave 500 people to guard the fortress, and the rest of the knights, follow me to attack."

"Burn all the warehouses."

"I want to starve all the legions in the defense line of the Light Kingdom Fortress to death in the fortress."

"Yes, sir!"

At the same time.

Hasting's defense line.

Guderian also got the battle report from the front line.

He stood up and walked to the map.

He began to mark the news on the battle report one by one.

After a moment, Guderian's face suddenly became serious.

"No."

"This situation is totally wrong."

"The advancement speed is too fast."

"Fifty thousand people."

"In two days, they have advanced hundreds of kilometers."

"This means that the army has not encountered any decent resistance at all."

"According to Heidi's intelligence."

"The retreating cavalry of the Kingdom of Light is only 200,000."

"The remaining fortress corps is still a huge number."

"If you want to defend this large defense line."

"It is completely possible."

"As long as there are soldiers stationed, it is absolutely impossible for Hasting's noble army to advance so quickly."

"Things are abnormal, so there must be a trap behind."

Realizing this.

Guderian turned around immediately.

"Come here."

"Send an envoy to find King Hasting."

"Don't go deep, retreat immediately."

"Otherwise you can't come back."

"Yes, sir."

Now they are afraid that they have fallen into a trap.

Hundreds of kilometers deep into the enemy's territory.

Even if they want to rescue them, it is impossible.

But Hasting's defense line cannot be damaged.

"Come here."

"Order the defense line to prepare for war."

"Order the border knights to increase the number of daily patrol routes by three times."

"Tell Her Excellency Heidi."

"I want more accurate intelligence in the Kingdom of Light."

"Yes, sir!"

Just after Guderian gave the order.

At this time.

Inside the defense line of the Kingdom of Light's fortress.

The Holy Son Commander was looking at the map.

Soldiers reporting news kept coming from behind.

"Report."

"The cavalry vanguard of the Hastings nobles has penetrated 150 kilometers into the territory."

"Report."

"After occupying our fortress, the central army of the Hastings nobles began to send cavalry to attack the supply warehouse."

"Report!"

"The number of people in the rear army of the Hastings nobles has decreased, and the number of garrisons in each sentry tower has dropped to 50."

"The number of garrisons in the castle is 100, and the number of garrisons in the fortress is 1,000."

The Holy Son Commander heard the news.

The corners of his mouth curled up.

He stared at the map.

"Really!"

"What a bunch of idiots."

"But no matter how stupid they are, we have to close the net now."

"Don't let this big fish get out."

"Pass my order."

"Send troops from the left and right fortresses."

"Enter the fortresses and watchtowers from our underground passage."

"Take back the lost strongholds."

"Cut off the retreat of Hastings' noble cavalry."

"Order the cavalry on both wings."

"Immediately occupy the original patrol route."

"Gather 100,000 cavalry in front of Hastings' defense line."

"Block the reinforcements that may come to Hastings."

"Order the 200,000 cavalry of the Kingdom of Light to retreat."

"Just say the stage has been set."

"Can they return to their fiefdom on the Great Plains next?"

"It depends on their own performance."

"Yes!"

When the messenger was about to leave.

The Holy Son Commander thought for a moment and shouted again.

"Wait!"

"Tell them!!!"

"As long as they win."

"All I promise will be satisfied!"

The army of the Kingdom of Light moved.

Heidi's spy quickly got the information.

The message was sent to Guderian.

"Sure enough, it was a trap."

Heidi asked.

"Really not going to save them?"

Guderian looked at the map.

"It's hard, unless~"

As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps were heard outside.

"Report."

"The alchemist corps supporting the capital has arrived!"

Guderian stood up suddenly.

"Save!"

"This time, not only will we save them, but we will also save them in a big way!"

"Forcing the Legion of Divine Grace from the Kingdom of Wright to come out."

"Give me the order."

"Assemble the Legion!!!" (End of Chapter)
