Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

?Chapter 165 Battle of the Rock Castle

Baron Camora was soon sent over. According to the prison guard, he had been thrown in the water cell by the Duke for more than a month. If the guards hadn't secretly taken care of Baron Camora, he would be picked up at night. To rest in a dry place, he had already soaked his feet in the water cell.

But now Baron Camora was dying and unconscious. Lorester took his pulse and found that he was only very weak and relieved. He ordered Reddy to send him to recuperate for two days first, and took the time to refine a few at night. He took the nutrient medicine to recover his body as soon as possible.

I found the housekeeper and servants of the Duke’s Mansion, and after a little inquiries, the inside story that Baron Camora was thrown into the dungeon by Lord Luckins came to light. Speaking of it, it was the family of the Chevani Knights. When the Lord Duke decided that the Chevani Knights and the Henned Knights would send troops to conquer the Norton family, he brought a message to a slave trader he was familiar with and said he There is a group of young female slaves for sale.

As a result, the entire army of four thousand men who went on the Norton family was wiped out. The two knights died and the other was captured. The Duke was so angry that he ransacked the house of Chevani Knight and drove his family to the street as beggars. Next, Baron Camora went to the Norton family to take the captured Henned Knights and the Silver Knights back as criminals, but Lorester refused. On the contrary, Lorester was released in the name of being unable to accept the insult of the knight. Henned and the silver knights.

When Baron Camora returned, he was scolded by the Duke, thinking that he was incapable of doing things. After Henneide and the silver knights returned, the five thousand soldiers of the two brigade that threatened the Northland Legion took the Sakura Ridge Manor Castle and gathered them to protect themselves. They also smoked the Duke’s popular Qiqiao, but they had no alternative, so they blamed everything. On the head of Baron Camora.

At this time, the slave trader familiar to the Lord Duke came happily. The Lord Duke did not have any slaves in his hands. So the wise Lord Duke ordered the beggars, landless peasants and unemployed people in the city to be arrested and sold as slaves to the slave traders. Thinking of Chevani Cavaliers' family members, he specifically indicated that they must not be let go.

As a result, the guards of Lord Duke couldn't find the family of Chevani Cavaliers, and only after inquiring did they realized that they had been sent out of the North by Baron Camora. So I reported back to Lord Duke. And Baron Camora was also unlucky. He was rushing to the Duke's Palace, trying to stop the Duke from giving such absurd orders. The Duke would definitely be infamous once this happened. The heart is lost.

That's it, the Lord Duke who heard that the guard reported back was furious, and when he saw that Baron Camora came to dissuade him from having an on-the-spot attack, he not only deprived him of the title of Baron, but also ordered him to be thrown into a water prison. Starved to death...

After waving his hand to let the inquiring butler and several servants retreat, Lorist shook his head and sighed: "Duke Lukins is really crazy. But the cell guards didn't lie, they really took care of Camo secretly. Pull the Baron, otherwise he would have been starved to death. Reddy, go and give the guards five Golden Fords each. This is their reward for taking care of the Baron Camora. By the way, ask them, if you want, bring relatives with us. Go, lest the **** duke comes back to anger them."

"Yes, my lord." Reddy went out.

Henneide on the side came over: "Locke, are you playing Camorra's idea? Let's say it first. I want to take him back to Sakura Ridge Manor Castle..."

"Pull it down..." Lorist glanced at him: "It's an underachiever to follow you. Tell yourself, is Camora going with you, is he still in his early days? You use him as a housekeeper. I admire him very much, I will use him, and even he still has the opportunity to become a real nobleman."

Henneide was speechless, and now he knew that Lorist had become an earl, and was no longer a baron like him. As the deputy of the former Northland Legion Commander Chevani Cavaliers, he knows Camora’s talent very well, knowing that without Camora’s hard work in logistics, it would be difficult for the Northland Legion to reach or maintain more than 20,000. The scale of people. So he didn't look down on Camora like another golden knight, Tabek.

But now Lorist also took a fancy to Camora and was ready to use it. Henneide thought for a while and gave up. There is no need to offend the golden thigh he held for a Camora.

"Well, Camora can be yours, but you have to compensate me." The Henned Knight said unwillingly.

"Fuck off. Also compensate, how much advantage you have taken from me, you said yourself, there are more than 2,000 people under your hand, and you have taken so many iron armors from me..." Lorist ignored him.

"Hehe, we are friends, why do good friends care about this? Money is too vulgar. I want a person, a woman?" Henned said with a smile on his face.

"Woman? Which one do you like?" Lorist asked curiously.

Henneide looked around at no one, and wanted to whisper on Lorester's shoulder...

"Go away and be straightforward if you want to talk. The big man, don't be so disgusting, whisper something, I really don't know how you became a knight..." Lorist pushed Henned away.

"Well, what I want is the Duke's most beloved mistress, but you have to do me a favor, pretend to send someone to take her away, I will kill her on the way and rescue her back to the Sakura Ridge Manor Castle..." Heng Ned was a little embarrassed, but the idea he had was wonderful, the hero saves the beauty, and the beauty promises.

"Sun, you guy will die on a woman's belly one day. When Reddy comes back, you can discuss with him how to act. But I advise you to stop for a while, don’t forget that you are now lying down with serious injuries. In Sakura Ridge, instead of jumping everywhere..." Lorist allowed this.

Knight Henneide was overjoyed and ran to find Reddy.

Two days later, a guest room in the Grand Ducal Mansion.

Baron Camora leaned on the bed and looked at Lorester in amazement: "Why are you here?"

Lorist smiled calmly: "Why can't I come? Lord Duke personally summoned the Lord of the North to attack my family, and then I found that his Grand Duke was very empty, so I came to stroll around..."

Baron Camora fell on the pillow as if discouraged: "The Duke is too persistent, I have repeatedly advised him not to entangle the Norton family, why does he just not listen..."

"Don't worry about your madman duke. Normal people cannot reason with a madman. He has deprived you of your baron title and threw you into a dungeon to starve you to death. If it weren't for those guards who pity you , I often get some food to feed you, so I won’t see you this time. Don’t think about it so much, take a good rest, in two days I will gather my troops to meet your Lord Duke. Then I will Will take you away," Lorist said.

"Wait, wait a minute, Lord Norton, you have already occupied the Dukedom. Why do you want to go? This is the most prosperous and richest area in the Northland. Are you willing to give up?" Camora asked.

"Haha..." Lorist laughed: "One day south and the other north, the messenger travels for five days. Occupying the duchy is equivalent to dividing the power of the Norton family in two. I will not be so irrational. , I was not interested in the entire Northland before the Norton family had enough strength. As for the most elite area in the Northland, hehe. It will not be anymore..."

"My lord, Knight Farrea is here." Reddy came in to report.

"Okay, Camora, you have a good rest, get your body, and I have something to help you when I return to the family territory. If you have any needs, please ask the guards, you are welcome." Lorist rushed to Camora. He waved his hand and left.

The reception room of the Grand Ducal Palace.

"Fareya, how are the villagers and craftsmen who have been moved? Does it cause you a lot of trouble?" Lorist asked.

Faria shook his head: "My lord, the situation of the villagers is better. On the contrary, those with craftsmanship from the town prefer to make noise."

"Is there any reason?"

"My lord. You don't know that the tax that Duke Luckins issued to farmers in the territory is 60% of the income from the fields. For farmers, 40% of the income is not enough to support their families, so they usually only eat two meals a day. For example, half of the ownership of the livestock and poultry raised by them belongs to the Lord Duke. After the other half is sold, he must pay a high tax. The remaining income has to buy salt and other daily necessities, which is very difficult. This time we directly purchase a cash. For their livestock and poultry, they are provided with three meals a day when they are on the road. Therefore, farmers are the first to believe our promise and are most willing to obey our orders."

The Farrea Knight drank a sip of tea and continued to report: "After receiving your order from your lord, let us form another garrison to maintain order. I discussed with Malek to select from these displaced villagers. Those villagers are Actively sign up to participate in the selection. At present, this newly formed garrison has been formed. They are equipped with spears and leather armor, and they are still competent to maintain alertness and order on the road."

Lorist nodded: "You and Malek did a good job, and I am very satisfied. This time, letting you lead a five-thousand-riding garrison is to let you replace the Ross Cavaliers guarding the Fortress of Freysd. There are still three or four thousand soldiers from the Northland Legion trapped in the castle of Reyde Fortress. The Ross Knight led two armoured lance battalions to camp in front of the castle.

Next, we have to take action against the enemy camp that attacked our Rock Castle, so I need to transfer the two armored Lancers of the Ross Knights back as our main assault force. The main purpose of your visit this time is to take care of the defenders of the Fresde Fortress. Don't let them out to harass the transfer process of our materials and personnel. Although Odmar, the golden knight in charge of the Northland Legion, has been seriously injured, don't be careless, understand? "

"My lord, please rest assured, I will definitely be able to complete the task." The Farrea knight stood at attention and saluted.

Three days later, Tiger Rose returned to Gildusk, the capital of the Grand Duchy, with his two armored Lancers.

"Let's go, we should go to meet the last battle before going home." Lorist got on his horse and said to El, Rose, Reddy and others beside him.

The mysterious man in gray robes, Henned Knight, who was covered in grey robes, looked at the empty shell behind the Grand Ducal Mansion and said, "Rock, why don't you put a torch and burn it to the ground?"

"It's not necessary. I will come and move again when the Lord Duke fills up this place, and he will move away if he burns it. That would be troublesome." Lorist said with a smile.

Today is the day to evacuate the city of Gildusque. Lorist wielded his whip and pointed to the front and said to the Henned Knight: “There are still seven lords’ fiefs on this road. Since they have chosen to follow the Duke and my Norton family as Enemy, then I don’t have to let them go. We swept all the way, and the agreement remains the same. Henneide, these manor castles and towns will be taken by your people, and I will let Dolles’ combat team help you.”

The Henned Knight nodded. This time Lorist brought three armored lance battalions, Dolles’ chariot battalion, and a squadron guard led by El. Compared to a brigade of Northland Legion soldiers who faked the Norton family's armed forces. It is indeed not a suitable siege candidate.

Seven days later, Lorist led his army to the Somme.

The Somme River is just a small river in the Northland. It originates from Binshan and flows into the Mitobro River to the south.

After crossing the Somme, take another day's journey to reach Rock Castle.

Yuri and Pete report.

"You have done a good job for more than a month. It effectively prevented the enemy scouts from investigating us. What is the situation in the enemy camp now?" Lorist asked.

"My lord, we did not do very well. Before the end of April, we captured 37 messengers. Many of the letters they carried were love letters from a certain knight, not many official documents. That grand prince wrote a few A letter of reprimand. It accused several lords of not bringing troops to conquer our Norton family, urging them to bring troops to join us as soon as possible. However, these messengers were all detained by us.

In May, the enemy camp seemed suspicious. A lot of scouts have been sent to our side in the past few days. Yesterday we met a dozen scouts, but failed to keep them after the battle, and let them escape four. . I think the enemy already knows our existence. "Yuri lowered his head and said.

"It's okay." Lorist patted him on the shoulder: "The outcome is about to be determined, and now it is too late to realize that something is wrong. Don't worry, they can't turn over."

"How about Bodfinger?" Lorist asked.

Yuri replied: "My lord, Lord Baldfinger had already led the Heavy Armored Corps to set off yesterday. The Knights of Terman and Malek's Second Guard Corps were accompanied by them. They will arrive at Rock Castle at the scheduled time, which is tomorrow noon. By the way, Lord Baldfinger sent a letter this morning saying that they had captured nearly a hundred people from Earl Spenced who wanted to return to their territory."

"Earl Spencer? Didn't that old man take refuge in Lord Duke, and was the first to attack our rock castle? Why did he return to the territory at this time? Forget it, hold it in, wait for him after the war."

Lorist looked at the map: "Order to rest early in the evening, cook dinner at five tomorrow, and leave at six. Get to Rock Castle before noon."

"Yes, my lord."

...

On May 9, 1768, the battle of the famous Rock Castle in the north began.

Just in front of the rock castle in the Morgen hills in the north, at noon.

The Norton family armed forces located in the southwest took the lead in launching the attack. The heavy armoured regiment led by Bodfinger formed a phalanx of five groups. On foot, they approached the lord coalition forces in the east back camp formation step by step.

The total strength of the lord's coalition headed by Duke Luckins is more than 46,000, while the Norton family armed forces have invested more than 43,000 troops. The two sides are evenly matched in terms of strength.

In fact, when nearly a thousand longbowmen of the Northland Legion under the Grand Duke Luckins launched three lobes at the approaching Norton Family Heavy Armored Corps, it was found that the long arrows that were lobbed could not target the Norton family in the White Lion Corps heavy armor. When soldiers inflict effective damage, the entire lord coalition is like a riot of headless flies.

Lorist immediately ordered Pete's archer squadron to dismount. The thousand longbowmen under Hennede also used lob shots to suppress shooting, and only shot three rounds. The lord's coalition forces suffered heavy casualties.

Terman's Knights and Tiger Ross's three iron-clad Lancers took the opportunity to charge. Faced with the impact of the rolling iron-clad Lancers and the Knights, the lord coalition collapsed before the battle.

Baron Felim Charward of the Pegasus family was the first to turn his horse's head with his men and ran away, and then the lords fleeed one after another, and a battle became a chase for the north. Battle.

The entire Battle of Rock lasted for three days, which means that the Norton family armed forces chased the fleeing lord coalition forces for a total of three days, but still let most of the lord escape the pursuit. The sixty lords who followed Duke Luckins to conquer the Norton family have accounted for two-thirds of the lords of the Northland. After the battle, eleven lords died in the melee and escape, and 16 lords became After the captives of the Norton family, the remaining lords escaped successfully.

The Duke of the Northland Archduke Luckins, under the cover of his deputy commander of the Northland Legion, the Golden Knight Bittson, ran east to the Earl of Lopez of the Kenmes family, and the Bittson Knights were caught by Pete’s Archer Squadron Company. The man led the horse and shot into a hedgehog, and fought bravely on the battlefield.

In the Battle of Rock Castle, the lords who fought in the battle suffered more than 8,000 casualties and more than 30,000 were captured. Less than 50 lords and knights died in the battle. The Norton family won with very slight casualties, and the Northland was powerful.

From April 5th to August 27th, more than four months of transportation and personnel relocation are finally coming to an end. Countless materials and grains have poured into the Norton family territory. In addition, there are more than 300,000 The migrants entered the Rock Castle.

After receiving the news that the Norton family had finally retired, the Duke Lukins, who had been hiding in the Kenmes family castle until the end of August, returned to the Grand Duke under the **** of the Kenmes.

When I returned to the Grand Duke, I saw the devastated, uninhabited territory and the ruins of villages turned into ashes along the way, as well as the Grand Duke's mansion where everything had been moved to the Grand Duke, and the nobles and subordinate officials who flocked to demand compensation from the Duke. , The Duke became so popular that he vomited three mouthfuls of blood and passed out into a coma.

Viscount Kenmes let out a long sigh: "The Duke of Lukins is finished~www.readwn.com~ and left. Since then, the Kenmes family will never be ordered by the Duke.

PS: Thank you very much for your support, rewards and recommendations for this book. I really appreciate your love. To be honest, I would like to update more, but I wrote so many words after sitting down for nine hours during the day. , If you insist on two hours, you can write more than a thousand words into two chapters, but now everyone is spending money to read books, you can’t fool you, so I think it’s better to make four or five thousand words into a chapter. I am very painful, the code word is not fast and cannot be added. I am really sorry, please forgive me.

It’s not about how many words I code and I can post it for updates. Every time I finish coding, I have to check whether it’s out of the question based on the outline, whether there are plots of water and military attachés, these have to be deleted and rewritten...

Regarding the map, I don’t know how to upload it. The computer I use is also very old, and I drew it on paper as my reference to avoid writing errors. If anyone understands better, please tell me QQ, I can tell him what the map looks like, and then ask him to post it...

Thank you again...
