I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 242
"Your Highness."

In a tall building in the northern port of the Spanish Empire, Arthur in military uniform rested his hands on the holy sword and closed his eyes.

Outside the window was the sound of gunfire one after another.

He hadn't slept for a long time, and even with the scabbard, he couldn't go without rest for such a long time.

Sonny also sprawled on the ground, looking a little tired.

Wolf the Red Wolf opened the door and walked in, standing by Arthur's side.

"The Spanish Empire dispatched most of their troops and began to block our troop-carrying ships in the Bay of Baal, trying to cut off our supply lines.

At the same time, their army is also attacking the port. The port's defense measures are facing the sea, not facing the inland, and the battle situation is not optimistic. "

"We made this preparation when we made this plan." Arthur said in a low voice.

"Occupying this port, the supply line of their ships will be longer than ours, which is our advantage.

You just need to hold on to this period of time, and getting through the channel is not a problem. "

Arthur slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp light burst out from them.

"Are you all ready?"

Wolfe said solemnly, "The Celtic Knights have 660 people, one person and three horses, all assembled."

Arthur slowly got up from his seat and stretched slightly, the joints on his body creaked with his raised waist.

With this sound, his spirit gradually rose to a peak.

"Let's go."

With that said, he left the room slowly, and they passed through the port city and came to a hidden forest.

The cavalry here are already waiting here.

They wore black military uniforms that did not represent any country, and did not wear any symbols, uniforms or flags representing the Celtic Knights or Britannia.

But looking at their orders and prohibitions, everyone knows that this is an elite team.

Arthur turned on a war horse transported from Britannia, and they were going to conduct a raid. Sonny's endurance was not very good, so riding a horse was the best choice.

He looked around and spoke to the group of Celtic cavalry.

"I believe that you are all very confused about the reason why you are here and wearing this clothes.

But for confidentiality reasons, they didn't tell you.

But now, I can give you an answer.

According to the information we have at hand, we can already be sure that the plague that has spread in the south and has killed hundreds of thousands of people so far was spread by the Spanish Empire.

They used some kind of sorcery, and the biggest proof is that none of their own soldiers will get the plague.

And this method is simply impossible for us to guard against. Water and air are the ways they spread the plague.

No matter what method we use, if we can't stop the source, it still won't help.

If you want to really stop the source, you must end this war and completely crush the ambitions of the Spanish Empire.

But although our Britannia has acquired advanced shipbuilding technology, it will take some time if we want to form absolute combat power.

And if we wait a few years, the entire south will become a no-man's land due to the plague. If we insist on staying in the south to fight the plague, the pressure on the treasury will be enormous.

In the end, we can only make one choice, that is, to give up the South.

Tell me, are you willing to give up the land that our ancestors laid down! ! ? "

"No!" they shouted.

"This is also the core of this plan!"

Arthur said in a deep voice. After tempering for this period of time, his eyes became more resolute and his voice became calmer. Although he looked immature, he looked like a middle-aged man in his 30s who had experienced many things.

"Occupying this port is just the beginning.

Our fleet is not as good as the Spanish Empire. Even with steel ships, we cannot completely defend this port under the crazy attacks of the navy and the army at the same time.

However, it is still possible to hold on to it for a month.

And during this month, the navy and army of the empire will be attracted to this port.

At that time, in addition to the normal defenders, there will be no other main forces in the rest of the land.

This is our opportunity. "

Arthur pointed to a middle-aged man with Latin American appearance.

"His name is Harris. He has been lurking in the Spanish Empire since the Moria period. He has figured out most of the terrain of the Spanish Empire, and he is especially familiar with the Andes Mountains."

Next, we will cross the Andes Mountains, enter the Spanish plateau, and rush to the imperial capital at the fastest speed day and night.

This may be the longest cavalry raid in the history of the world, and it is also a raid that exceeds the limits of the human body.

You need to face the harshest environment, the cruelest battle, and you may die in a foreign country, in this foreign land, and even the corpse cannot be returned to the country.

You need to give up the pity in your heart and become a brutal beast, a pack of real wolves.

But you have to remember that all your killings are for Britannia and for the millions who may die in the future!
For the land left to us by our ancestors, for decades of peace and happiness for our descendants!
Tell me if you have any hesitation! "

"No!!!"

The knights answered sonorously and powerfully. Years of battles had already tempered them to be as tenacious as steel.

Even if they don't have the faith for their country, even for the emperor in front of them, they still have reasons to fight on.

"very good."

Arthur turned his head and looked at the mountains above, his eyes flickering.

"set off!"

The two-horse or multi-horse raid is actually not his original creation. It can be traced back to the Huns at the earliest. Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty also relied on this method to seal wolves and live in Xuxu.

Each person is equipped with multiple horses, one horse is used to ride, and the other horse is used to carry a small amount or no food and baggage at all. Riding alternately can reduce the pressure on the horses and can run farther.

But there are more than 1 of them. Where can they get food for so many people?

Naturally, wherever you go, you can grab it, and wherever you grab it, you can kill it.

Arthur has never been a holy mother, he clearly knows the words Shaar taught him, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

He will not kill indiscriminately, he will only kill those who need to be killed, and this time the raid, they need food and supplies, so it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with the local defenders.

Everywhere they went, they would absorb local people, so the troops would not get lost, and there was no language barrier in the territory of the Spanish Empire.

All the main forces are in port, engaging the main forces of the Britannian Empire.

Even if the army stationed nearby learned that a certain town was looted by this group of cavalry, by the time they rushed over, they would have already disappeared with their powerful mobility.

They did not carry a flag, nor did they carry any signs, and these troops could only infer from those who were still alive that they were a group of horse bandits wandering nearby.

But obviously, their looting will eventually be noticed and reported to the imperial capital, which will eventually make the enemy vigilant.

So they need to be quick, before they react.

Information communication in this era mainly relies on horses. Even if there are well-trained carrier pigeons, they are only used to convey some important information about the battle situation and are used by some intelligence agencies.

Therefore, as long as the speed is fast enough, it is enough to take advantage of this lack of circulation of information to carry out raids.

Huo Qubing traveled more than 500 kilometers in six days, but they traveled farther than this.

This method of warfare requires very powerful cavalry to complete, and only the Celtic Royal Knights can do it in the entire Britannia.

This is a huge test for both horses and humans. Their sleep time does not exceed three hours a day, and their nerves are tense every day. Even the horses don't know how many horses ran to death.

Fortunately, horses can be supplemented in other towns. There are many plains in South America, especially a vast Pampas grassland, which is very suitable for raising horses, so this is also one of their sources of income.

Finally, on the No.20 day, they arrived near the imperial capital of the Spanish Empire.

They did not rush to attack, but chose to station in the nearby forest.

In order not to be exposed, they didn't even light a fire. They just set up tents, gnawed on the raw meat cut off from the dead horses to replenish their strength, and prepared for the next day's attack.

All of them were gray-faced at the moment, their faces were tanned by the sun, mixed with some blood stains, and their bodies exuded a strong smell of blood. They hadn't bathed for a long time.

But even though they were tanned, the dark circles under their eyes were still abnormally thick, and there was an indelible exhaustion and killing intent in their eyes.

They seem to have recovered their blood from the Celts, one of the three major barbarians in Europe, drinking blood to quench their thirst and eating raw meat to satisfy their hunger, and turned into wild beasts one after another.

Like a group of real wolves, they are stalking their prey.

The fierce battle and raid overnight had pushed their spirits to the brink of collapse, but just as Arthur said, they had no way out.

The fate of a country is in their hands at this moment.

Arthur's mental state is relatively better with the Avalon scabbard, and his mental state has become the cornerstone for these knights to maintain their mental state.

He was standing on the edge of the cliff at the moment, quietly overlooking the distant town.

As the imperial capital of an empire, the construction of this city needless to say.

The Spanish Empire is a maritime country, so "water" is one of the soul elements of their architecture. The atmosphere of the waterfront is scattered in every corner, reflecting the perfect harmony between architecture, water and people.

The upper part of most of the buildings adopts a low-slope roof with a gentle slope, which is conducive to drainage and wind protection.

Most of them are paved with red porcelain tiles, and the building walls are brushed to form the typical appearance of Spanish-style buildings: "red tiles and white walls", reflecting the simple sense of unity with nature.

Even in the middle of the night, people can still be seen coming and going. It seems that the war on the front line has not affected here.

These people don't know that because of their emperor's ambition, countless people are dying thousands of miles away, while their emperor enjoys everything in this country peacefully in the center of his palace.

However, everything will end today
