Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

Harvey arrived at Grizzlies Castle with Earl Fagan three days later.

This was also the first time he had returned to the southern territory since he moved to the northern wasteland three years ago. The Earl Fagen family and a group of vassal nobles were waiting outside the city of Grizzly Castle to welcome their new lord.

This time, there were also soldiers from the North Army from a battalion. On the one hand, they were responsible for the rotation of the North Army originally stationed in Grizzly Fortress, and on the other hand, they also took on the foreign combat mission of going south to Sancha Town. .

The garrison rotation was naturally the responsibility of the officers of the subordinate battalion. Harvey led the commander-in-chief Pierce and his group to reject the request of Earl Fagan to invite him to the Earl's Mansion, and went straight to the city guard who was transformed into the Grizzly Castle Town Hall. Military command post.

"According to reliable information, after the Baron of Sancha Town detained our people, he seemed to have not planned to release them before he received the money." Harvey sat in the head of the city hall, looking down at the officials and nobles, "The other party Such behavior, whether it is due to past grudges with the Fegan family or the temporary greed, there is no doubt that it will cost it."

He raised his hand and pointed at Earl Feigen, who was sitting in the lower head, and signaled to him: "With the Earl's understanding of the Barons' family in Sancha Town, will they arrange in advance to guard against our sudden attack?"

Earl Feigen was obviously prepared, and after Harvey took the initiative to ask, he immediately stood up and talked.

"Lord, as far as I know, the Baron of Sancha Town is not a smart person who knows the current affairs, otherwise the Grand Duke Ralph would not give up calling him to join the war. This baron who relies entirely on nepotism has a cavalry that has formed a united cavalry under his command There is no team."

"Oh? There is not even a vassal knight?" Harvey said in surprise. "Isn't he an orthodox hereditary baron?"

A family's little nobleman who was engaged in shipping trade took the initiative to stand up and replied in disdain and anger: "Lord, this guy used to be just a tax officer of Heyun in Sancha Town until his sister became Ralph The fifth wife of the Grand Duke transformed into a baron's title, but he has always been nicknamed the watchdog baron by us..."

It is no wonder that a nobleman who has no farmland and land like this cannot maintain the decent demeanor that a baron should have if he does not rely on the means of plucking his hair by geese, and he will be able to maintain the decent that a baron should have. He will be on a river road like Sancha Town and be at will. The passing shipping caravan was a few times, which was enough for him to eat.

After being criticized by a group of grizzly nobles, Harvey suddenly seemed to mobilize the ironclad ship to Sancha Town, which seemed to be a bit suspicious of killing chickens and using a savage knife.

...

After the crowd was dismissed, Harvey left Commander Pierce alone.

In fact, he did not reveal the information he had to the nobles under the Grizzly Leadership - the Baron of Sancha Town was indeed a short-sighted fool, but Grand Duke Ralph was not.

Since the coalition forces sent by the former Earl of Fagen and the church failed on the border, the Grizzly Corps was included in the actual control of the wizard Lord Harvey, this series of changes have long aroused the alertness of Grand Duke Ralph.

It is hard to say whether the sudden and gripping behavior of the Baron of Sancha Town has received hints and acquiescent from Grand Duke Ralph, but it is undeniable that the fleet and some elite knights under this Grand Duke had secretly assembled a week ago. , and two days ago, he came straight from Fengyuan City to Sancha Town.

"In terms of land forces, we will leave it to the Grizzly Leader nobles who are eager to take the initiative to fight... Anyway, they can't do much, and it's already very good to be able to lure the enemy." Harvey leaned over and looked at the table. The map spread out and discussed with Pierce.

It was also the first time Pierce went to the southern border to fight, and he had never experienced a double-line battle on the water and land. Naturally, he looked like he was facing a great enemy. Before Harvey could ask, he repeatedly pondered and discussed with his subordinate officers for several days. Formulate a combat plan.

"The Ralph River is located at the branch of the river in Sancha Town and is a suitable place to engage!"

Pierce raised his hand and pointed to the bend of a river channel in the upper reaches of Sancha Town, and analyzed: "The armored ship needs to be guarded here. To the south, you can shell the dock of Sancha Town, and to the west, you can directly block Ralph on the river surface. The Grand Duke's fleet."

"The Grand Duke Ralph's troops are sailboats, and it will take about two days to depart from Fengyuan City to reach Sancha Town." Harvey issued a direct order, "The Northern Army set off at night tonight and arrives at the reservation tomorrow evening. The combat location. "

Pierce wondered, "Don't you have to wait for the Grizzlies to lead the troops gathered by the nobles?"

Harvey shook his head and smiled, "It would be better for them to fall behind slowly, so that the spies sent by Grand Duke Ralph mistakenly thought they could ambush us in advance."

After the two discussed, Harvey patted Pierce on the shoulder and said, "It's a pity that I can't go south with you on an ironclad ship and personally commanded the Northern Army to fight... This is our first water battle, and it's just a direct confrontation with the Southern Nobles. .”

Pierce thought Harvey's words were a hint of worry about his command ability, so he quickly bowed and said, "Sir, please be relieved. This battle is commanded and dealt with by me. I will definitely defeat Duke Ralph for you. Control of Xiasancha Town!”

A strange oral military order made Harvey laugh and cry.

...

That night, the pier outside the Grizzly Castle.

Three iron-armored icebreakers were quietly moored in the deep-water dock area, bright torches were lit on the embankment, and five hundred soldiers from the northern border lined up in a quiet order, and boarded the ships in turn under the command of the commander.

With three whistles, the magic power instrument of the icebreaker immediately activated full power operation. The sharp steel ram at the front of the icebreaker directly broke the frozen ice on the river surface. With a sound of ice breaking that made people's teeth ache, it sailed faster and faster towards the lower reaches of the Ralph River.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!

Pierce stood at the bow of the first icebreaker, not affected by the cold wind and ice at night, and repeatedly recalled the battle plan that the lord personally explained before departure.

"After arriving at the designated combat position, send some soldiers to land on both sides of the river and establish two lines of defense."

"After Duke Ralph's fleet enters the ambush section of the river, first use the high mobility of the icebreakers to implement a two-wing encirclement formation against the Duke's fleet. After the three icebreakers complete the triangular encirclement formation, then launch a unified artillery attack on the enemy."

"If Duke Ralph's fleet ignores casualties and insists on breaking out of the encirclement and attempting to land, the soldiers ambushed on both sides will immediately block them, making them live targets for magic guns on the unsheltered river beach."

As for the idiot baron stationed in Sancha Town... After finishing off Baron Ralph's elite knight fleet halfway, and then firing a few artillery shots at Sancha Town from a distance, it is estimated that the town will immediately raise the white flag of surrender.

The only thing Pierce was worried about right now was the 500 serfs detained in Sancha Town. After nearly a week of being detained in freezing weather, lacking food and clothing, he wondered how many healthy laborers could still survive.
