Chapter 228: The Center Blossoms

Simon thought for a while and felt that there were many doubts about it, but there was insufficient information to speculate.

"Don't mention this to anyone again. Just pretend we didn't find these pendants."

He came to his senses, took the pendant from Mailan's hand, and ordered.

"Yes! Lord Viscount! I understand."

Mailan immediately assured.

Simon nodded and put the pendant into the pouch on his waist. In fact, he used this as a cover to put it into the storage column.

At this time, Phyllis, who was patrolling the surrounding area, ran over in a panic and shouted: "Lord Viscount! It's not good!

There seems to be an ambush ahead, and the Sword Legion was ambushed!

A lot of rocks rolled down the valley, and many green forest thieves suddenly appeared, blocking the way back! "

Simon was shocked when he heard this, and then calmly said: "Hey, there are experts in this Green Forest Brotherhood.

Walk! Kill it! "

"Yes! Sir!" After receiving the order, Airei and others organized their troops and marched in formation.

Soon after, Simon led his troops to the mouth of the valley.

However, at this time, a group of more than a thousand elite soldiers of the Sword Legion ran out of the valley on the right and surrounded them from behind.

"Viscount Simon! You came just in time! Let us catch all these thieves!"

Ravens appeared in the group, saw Simon on horseback, and shouted towards him.

"Your Majesty the Viscount, are you... using the soldiers in the valley as bait?"

Simon looked at him, smiled and said doubtfully.

"Hahaha, not bad!

The elite troops are all outside the valley, and the lord's troops and auxiliary troops are inside. In this way, the rebels will be defeated if they are caught on both sides! "

Ravens laughed triumphantly.

"What a strategy!" Simon praised on the outside, but secretly cursed in his heart.

Fortunately, he walked slowly, otherwise he would have become part of the bait in the valley at this time.

"Viscount Simon, without further ado, send out troops to cover up the enemy!" Revans reminded.

"Okay! Airei! Lead the Western Wei Army to kill us!"

Hearing this, Simon nodded and had no choice but to order.

"Yes!" Airei responded loudly, then put down his plate mask, formed a team, and led his troops to kill him.

However, the front was actually blocked by the elite soldiers of the Sword Legion, and they could only sit back and wait for the battle.

"Viscount Ravens, if you beat them so fiercely, aren't you afraid that they will be detrimental to His Highness Feidi?"

Simon asked.

"Don't worry, in fact, the reinforcements from the royal family have arrived early.

I made such a big move this time just to attract the attention of the Green Forest Brotherhood.

It is estimated that His Highness Feidi should be rescued now. Ravens said with a faint smile.

"Huh? I wonder what kind of reinforcements they are?" Simon asked curiously.

"The Knights of the Griffin."

As soon as these words came out, Simon was shocked, secretly sighing that the royal family still had some foundation, and then he became a little anxious.

If the royal family is so strong, his path to rebellion must be very difficult and long.

"Build the wall high, accumulate food widely, and be king slowly. It's better to be cautious and don't be too hasty..." Simon thought to himself.

"Viscount Simon has done a great job this time, and His Highness Feidi will reward you when the time comes.

It’s possible to reward you with another piece of land. Alas, I don’t have such blessings... It’s too difficult for the palace nobles..."

Ravens smiled, his tone somewhat meaningful.

Simon smiled and did not reply. He just raised his eyes and looked at the battlefield.

Flesh and blood were flying everywhere in the valley, and arrows were flying.

Simon noticed that there were stones rolling down on both sides of the valley.

But it seemed that people from the Sword Legion also came up from behind the mountain and started fighting, because the bodies of soldiers rolled down.

After that, Simon and Ravens chatted every now and then, and several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The breeze blows across the valley and becomes smelly.

At this time, the battle was over, the Sword Legion was victorious, the Green Forest Brothers were severely defeated, and the remaining soldiers retreated south.

But the victorious side also suffered heavy casualties. The valley was filled with the corpses of soldiers, and the blood dyed the land red.

Simon looked at the scene inside at the entrance of the valley, without going in to check.

"Lord Viscount! This battle! More than half of us suffered casualties!"

Saumir and many soldiers walked out with difficulty, covered in blood. The ferocious look in their eyes had not faded, and they said sadly.

"Thank you for your hard work! How many barons are there alive?" Simon nodded slightly and asked calmly.

“My lord, there are five people left. Trodeau was unlucky and was stoned to death.

Sir, I am injured, my arm is broken, and I can no longer participate in the next battle..." Saumir said sadly.

"Yeah! You guys can go back and rest." Simon nodded and agreed.

"Thank you, Lord Viscount!" Saumur quickly thanked him and was helped down by his bodyguard.

Simon breathed a sigh of relief. This war had almost exhausted the barons with aristocratic backgrounds under his command.

However, it is not that easy to take back the territory. After all, these people probably have descendants and relatives.

But his current pressure has been greatly reduced.

These noble children no longer dare to point fingers or make random comments in front of him.

"Mailan, let's count how many people we have lost in total.

In addition, arrange for soldiers to clean the battlefield and pick up more armor. "

Simon thought for a while and then ordered.

"Yes!" Mailan responded, taking the order with some guardsmen.

After that, Simon sat on the red flame horse and was in a daze, but he was actually browsing the panel.

He didn't fight in this battle himself, but he actually gained a lot of experience and leveled up, which was a pleasant surprise.

He realized that he could also gain experience after winning the battle he participated in.

Simon thought about it for a while and added the newly gained enhancement points to the command.

After this large-scale battle, he clearly realized that in this low-magic world, personal force could not change the final situation.

It still depends on the number of people.

If there is a heavy armored army composed of thousands of gold warriors, it will definitely have the power to turn the situation around.

And a gold knight, no matter how powerful, can only kill five or six hundred people, and the fighting spirit will be exhausted. Once it is used up, it will be no different from an ordinary soldier.

After Simon added points, he looked at the battlefield again. At this time, many soldiers were transporting corpses or wounded back and forth.

There were also more than a dozen mages and dozens of doctors who built a temporary pharmacy to treat the injured soldiers.

There was even a brown-robed mage holding a staff and casting the spell of healing aura.

All the wounded soldiers who moved near him quickly regained their vitality.

"It seems that magic is still quite useful." Simon carefully observed everything around him and accumulated his knowledge.

By the evening, the battlefield was almost cleaned up and the spoils were collected.

As for the bodies, a large pit was dug in front of the valley, a thick layer of firewood was laid underneath, and kerosene was poured on it and set on fire.

Of course, the bodies of the nobles were picked out separately and transported back to find a place for burial.

Simon led the soldiers to set up camp in the leeward place. They were making a fire and cooking when five griffins suddenly appeared in the sky and flew towards them...
