Riding and Slashing

Chapter 315 From Declaration of War to Alliance
The D'Shar territory is in chaos, and everyone who belongs to it now wants to bully it. If it wasn't for the fact that Fieldswell was not facing the revenge battle of the Sarleon Kingdom, he would probably take advantage of it.

In fact, the lord of Nudabao "Red Axe" Siglo and the lord of the high-pass fortress "Blonde" Edith, who are bordering on the De'Shar, these two nephews have already entered the territory of De'Shar. I didn't go, but sent some soldiers to Fog Cage City to make up for it. Not long after the founding of Fieldsville, many lords have not yet formed a national mentality, and most of them are relatively self-centered.

As for the Ravencrow Kingdom, Gregory IV actually wanted to take advantage of the incident in the Sarleion Kingdom to make a big impact.

Not only did he declare war on the Sarleon Kingdom in the first place, but he also set off with a large army at the same time he issued the declaration of war, which was very efficient.

For the Kingdom of Ravencrow, the war between Sarleon and Fieldsway is of course something they like to see.

If Fieldsway had to prepare for the war, Ravencrow Realm would be relatively safe, especially in the western region—Whether Fieldsway would attack Ravencrow Realm at this time.

Gregory IV can transfer all the garrisons from Falling Bay, Ravencrow City, and Longsong Port to attack Sarleon. These are ready-made troops, and there is no need to wait for recruitment. Naturally, the speed of dispatching troops is very fast.

Moreover, Gregory IV obviously learned the lesson he received at Eagle Claw Castle last time. He did not attack from the east this time, but launched an attack from the west. Turen, a shit-stirring stick, is not as terrifying as a sharpshooter like the Noldor...

However, Ravencrow Kingdom's declaration of war had just been sent to Sarleon City, and the troops had just assembled at the border city of Seffin Bray Castle. When they were marching towards Sarleon Kingdom's Mismoor Castle, Gregory IV received a letter from the country. Bad news.

The news comes from the eastern part of Ravencrow Realm - Dawn Furnace, an important town in the eastern part, was breached by Lady Ursula's rebel army!
Not only that, the Falcon Knights were officially rebuilt in Darkfalcon Castle. It is said that the momentum is quite large, and Duke Andema, the lord of Dawn Furnace City, even became Sir Wren's captive!
This news almost made Gregory IV fall off his horse in anger—I thought the rear was quite safe, but who knew that just after the army was taken out, a small half of the country was gone...

But in any case, he can only return to the army to deal with Ursula's rebels first.

At present, Longsong Port and Ravencrow City are relatively empty. Since Xiaolu City has been breached, it means that Ursula has the ability to fight all the way to Ravencrow City!

It doesn't matter if you miss the opportunity to pick up a bargain. If Lady Ursula takes Longsong Port down, the Ravencrow Kingdom may really have to change its king—Ursula is not an ordinary rebel, she does have the reputation of being a king. Divided.

Being able to take down Dawn Furnace City meant that Ursula's rebels already had the ability to attack from the front. Ursula's ability to suddenly possess such strength obviously meant that he had received a lot of assistance.

This assistance naturally came from Li Ang.

Moreover, Leon did a more thorough job than when Ulrik funded Sheila Youzas - he directly lent Dark Falcon Castle to Lady Ursula.

To be precise, it was lent to the Falcon Knights.

Since Li Ang allowed Mrs. Ursula and Sir Wren to settle down in Fort Dark Falcon, the relationship between Ursula's rebel army and Leon has always been good.

When Li Ang just got the news that Amy was trapped, Li Ang had already asked An Dongjia to lure the Ravenman to Beibu Gulf, but it was just a show at that time, intending to make the king change his mind-at that time, only Sir Wren was there It's just acting with An Dongjia.

And now, An Dongjia has returned to Ravencrow Realm, and told Sir Roland to abandon Dark Falcon Castle and lead troops to Sly Fox Town to clean up the heresy.

Darkfalcon Castle was directly handed over to Ursula, and at the same time, she was provided with a lot of funds and equipment to allow her and Sir Wren to rebuild the Falcon Knights.

The Falcon Knights already have a strong appeal, and Ursula and Sir Wren are also quite capable leaders. They have been preparing for the restoration of the country, but they have no base, and lack of money, food and equipment.

After getting a suitable base and a large amount of sponsorship, Ursula pulled up a rather large motley army in a very short period of time—just like what Shirayuzas did, many of them were bought by Ravencrow border troops.

Using the name of the Falcon Knights to recruit people from the eastern part of Ravensland is not difficult at all. Ursula already has the same legal principles as Gregory IV, and Gregory IV has always been against Jia The people in the eastern region did not pay attention to the scourge of the eastern region, and the people in the eastern region already missed the original Falcon Knights.

Of course, what Li Ang provided was not some kind of selfless sponsorship, it was conditional—Madame Ursula must take advantage of the opportunity of the Ravencrow Kingdom to send troops to attack Xiaolu City, and An Dongjia will bring a large number of Misty Mountain people to cooperate in the battle.

If Ursula and Wren were to break their promises, Andonga would burn Darkfalcon, putting Ursula's rebels in a desperate situation—the Mist Mountaineers could retreat to the northern mountains at any time anyway.

However, Madam Ursula's goal of attacking Xiaolu City had always been her goal. Now that An Dongjia led the Misty Mountain people to cooperate, this was actually what Ursula wished for. Of course, she would not give up this good opportunity.

So, on the same day that Gregory IV issued the letter of war to the Sarleon Kingdom, the flag of the Falcon Knights began to fly again, and groups of Misty Hillmen also gathered at Andonga to establish a war in the north of Dark Falcon Castle. in the trading market.

Duke Andema, the lord of Dawn Furnace City, reacted quickly after hearing the news, and immediately led an army to attack Darkfalcon Castle.

But at the same time that Under Armour broke Dark Falcon Castle, Dawn Furnace was also breached by Ursula - Ursula directly exchanged houses with Duke Ander Armor.

Afterwards, Anderma summoned Earl Stephen, Lord of Oldenburg, to counterattack Dawn Furnace City, but Earl Stephen got cold feet!
Undermar was captured by Sir Wren, and more than five hundred soldiers surrendered.

It was not an accident that Earl Stephen's defection was because Earl Stephen's son Faramund, the former lord of Darkfalcon Castle held hostage by Gregory IV, was rescued from Ravencrow City by Sir Wren.

This matter has been planned since half a year ago, and Ursula has always wanted to instigate Stephen, but it was only now that Ravencrow City was empty, and Sir Wren had the chance to save people.

It is not uncommon to use hostages to control subordinates, but it is indeed prone to sequelae. Once the hostages are not controlled, it is basically inevitable.

So Oldenburg also officially announced that he would join Ursula.
The eastern part of Ravencrow Realm has completely changed.

When Gregory IV received the news, the troops he led were just able to see the walls of Fort Misty Marsh from a distance, and the letter of war he had issued before had just arrived in Sarleon City.

But at this time, the Ravencrow King could only return to the army immediately, and sent an envoy to chase after the Lion City eight hundred miles, trying to take back the declaration of war...

It's a pity that it was a little bit late-it was more than a day late, and I didn't catch up.

But that emissary was also able to adapt. He begged Amy in Sarleon City and expressed his wish to negotiate peace with the Sarleon Kingdom on the spot...

"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such shameless people... Talking about peace just a day after declaring war? Is this playing tricks? Gregory IV is really childlike... Plus Lord Stoff, do you Ravens usually play like this?"

Amy stood on the steps of the throne room, looking at the envoy of Ravencrow who kept smiling in front of her, and felt that she had seen the world now.

"Your Highness, the Lion Kingdom is now facing a strong enemy, why not join hands with our country, this will benefit everyone..."

The bearded Ravencrow looked embarrassed, but still tried to turn the declaration of war into an alliance...

The messenger's name was Gastov, and he was the son of Duke Alexis, the lord of Longsong Harbor, and the lord of Dragon's Claw Cliff Castle—now their father and son's territory was directly facing Ursula's attack, and most of them The troops were brought to the western border, and the territory was very empty, so they probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long...

Of course, he must do everything possible to facilitate peace talks with the Sarleon Kingdom, otherwise, if the Sarleon Kingdom Xin Yiheng sends troops to hold back Ravencrow's army, then their father and son's territory may be gone.

"If we really join forces, it will be beneficial to everyone... But we really can't trust you with your capricious appearance..."

Amy shook her head and sighed.

"It's more than capricious... You should know that last year Brennus signed the armistice agreement with Gregory IV on behalf of the Sarleon Kingdom at Eagle Claw Fort, and I was the witness at that time-but now Gregory IV The world is blatantly declaring war on the Sarleion Kingdom! Does this mean that your king does not agree with the current Sarleion Kingdom, but instead agrees with the rebel leader Brennus?"

Li Ang sang red face beside him, and his attitude was quite bad: "I even think that your king and Brennus have long been accomplices! They even joined hands...how did they join forces?!"

Perhaps it was Li Ang's words that reminded Lord Gastorf. He looked at the young Amy and began to frighten him: "Your Excellency, Li Ang, it is true that you are not the only choice in Ravencrow Realm. It is also possible to form an alliance with Cliff Bay ...It is said that the Duke of Brennus has declared that you are the rebels, but we can't tell which side is orthodox! Think about it..."

Amy curled her lips expressionlessly.

And Li Ang laughed: "Very good! Since you said that, then I can safely let the army of Lion Lake City send troops... Anyway, I thought Gregory would not be trusted, and Mrs. Ursula is much more sincere than you guys." ..."

"Wait, wait! What Lion Lake army? Ursula?"

Gastov panicked all of a sudden: "Your Excellency Leon, what does this mean?"

"Isn't this obvious? You not only declared war on us, but you also made it clear that you wanted to support the rebellion of Brennus, so there is nothing to talk about! Anyway, it is impossible for you to attack Sarleon City. I will start from Lion Lake City Send troops into the east of Ravencrow with Fort Valor—even if we suffer heavy losses in the west of Sarleon, at worst I can earn back from Ravencrow..."

Li Ang tilted his head, still smiling: "In a few days, when your family is homeless, welcome to join me in Dragon Claw Cliff Fort...By the way, where are your family members? Maybe they are all in Dragon Claw Cliff Fort... tsk tsk tsk..."

Dragon Claw Cliff Fortress is the territory of Gastov, and it is the nearest castle to the west of Xiaolu City...

"... Hey... Hey, Your Highness Amy, Lord Li Ang, don't, don't be kidding... What do you want? What kind of sincerity do you want?"

Gastov's attitude suddenly became quite respectful. He turned his head to look at Amy, and then began to ask Li Ang, obviously realizing that it was actually Li Ang who had the final say.

"Let your king prove that he is the enemy of this rebel Brennus - that's what he is supposed to do as a king! If he cooperates with the rebellion of the Sarleon kingdom, then I guarantee that Ursula will soon Become the Raven Queen!"

Li Ang stared at Gastov and said.

Indeed, as a king, he really should not cooperate with rebellion in other countries, at least not on the surface.Otherwise, it is tantamount to pulling oneself to the same position as the rebels, which is to weaken one's own ruling power.

At the beginning, Ulrik only secretly provided money and food to Sheila Youzas, and he did not support Sheila's rebels openly.

"How do you want His Majesty the King to prove it?"

Gastov also understands this truth. He has already realized that Li Ang really doesn't care whether the western part of the Sarleon Land can be defended or not. Anyway, a city like Sarleon City is really difficult to capture, and the Sarleon Kingdom will not perish.

But if Li Ang sends troops to support Ursula, it is not certain whether Ravencrow City will be captured, at least Longsong Port and Dragon Claw Fort will definitely be gone!

"Anyway, Gregory IV has led his troops to the border, and it may not be too late to return to the army now, so why not attack Cliff Bay—you help me lay down Cliff Bay and capture Brennus. I will help you deal with Er Shura, take back Dawn Furnace City, rescue Duke Andema—is this business fair?"

Li Ang spread his hands flat like a balance: "You exchange Cliff Bay with me for Dawn Furnace City, and exchange Brennus' life with me for Duke Andema!"

This is indeed a very fair approach, trading cities for cities, people for people, and Ravencrow Kingdom can take advantage of it—their situation is more urgent, and Ursula's rebels may attack Dragon Claw Cliff Fort at any time and Changge Port.

It was much closer for Li Ang to send his troops from Lion Lake City and Fort Brave Shield to Xiaolu City than the return of Ravencrow's army from the vicinity of Mismog Castle.

"It is indeed fair...but I need to let His Majesty the King decide..."

Gastov nodded. Of course he felt that Li Ang's business was completely fine, but he was not sure whether the king would agree.

"Then you'd better think of a way to get Gregory IV to make a ruling faster - I will send troops whenever I receive his covenant... I hope that Dragon Claw Cliff Castle and Changsong Port will be safe at that time... ..."

Li Ang shrugged, looking indifferent.

Amy also smiled slightly: "Actually, we don't really believe in Gregory IV's character, so it's best to have a guarantee for the covenant—let him send the Dragon's Fang along with the covenant, of course , I will also temporarily hand over the Sarleon flag gun to him. After completing the things we agreed on, I will return the two national treasures to each other."

Therefore, the fastest process from declaring war to forming an alliance in history happened between Ravencrow Kingdom and Sarleon Kingdom...
