Chapter 747 The Attacking Duke

The whole earth was shaking, and the dull footsteps and the sound of horse hooves on the ground made the fish in the silver lake jump out of the water in shock.

All the birds flew away, and the defenders of Silver Lake Fortress let out uninterrupted exclamations, and then the fortress' alarm bell rang again.

The general known as the Iron Barrier: Bouvier.

As soon as I stepped onto the observation deck, I immediately felt a terrifying chill that made the air freeze.

"God bless the Duke!"

"God bless the Duke!"

The overwhelming sound of shouts and shouts swept in along with the amazing morale.

At the junction of the plain and the sky, countless people poured in, covering every inch of the field. The first to rush were tens of thousands of vindictive knights, rolling over and crushing them like a torrent from a bursting embankment.

The knights of the Gem Duke are different from those of the Empire or the Night Territory. Although the clothes and armor have the same style, the colors and patterns are different, like a broken rainbow falling to the ground, extremely bright.

Even the robes and armor of the war horses are also colorful, and even ordinary cavalry are decorated with gilt patterns.

The dyeing technology of this era was low, so the variety of colors was a completely incredible level of opulence.

"How many fighting spirit knights are there? Ten thousand or thirty thousand?" The adjutant's face turned pale.

"There are 10,000 vindictive knights, 30,000 ordinary cavalry, and 300,000 ordinary infantry." Another adjutant lowered his voice, "Goddess, where did Grand Duke Gem come from with so many troops."

What is terrifying? There are more fighting knights than the fortress defenders.

How to fight this battle?

The infantry phalanx in the distance was like a slowly moving group of containers, so dark that it was impossible to count.

Bouvier sneered: "Why panic? Grand Duke Gem loves extravagance and luxury, and the number of troops may not be as large as imagined. But this also shows that Her Majesty the Queen is a saint full of vision."

"Look at the enemy's equipment and army size. Without a hundred years of accumulation, it is impossible to arm hundreds of thousands of people. Fortunately, the Queen has discovered his ambition. I believe the goddess will stand by Your Majesty."

Across the Silver Lake.

Grand Duke Gem gently caressed the luxurious knight sword on his waist. It was inlaid with seven artifact gems and was a national treasure-level equipment.

"Is there any big move by the Northern Army of the Empire?" The Grand Duke glanced majestically at the retainers kneeling on the ground.

"The imperial army and the local army in the north have not moved. Only the sixth-level divine choice of the Nibelung family led the team to support the queen."

"Haha, how arrogant. Does that woman look down on me?"

"How dare you not assemble all the troops." Grand Duke Gemstone snorted coldly, "I guess he is afraid of instability in the rear. Are there any northern nobles willing to respond to us?"

"There are many... but they are all minor nobles, such as the Beast Baron."

"hehe."

Grand Duke Gem's lips curled up and he said secretly: These are a bunch of stupid barbarians who don't know that the imperial nobles are one family. The Queen will kill them all sooner or later. Serving the Queen is extremely stupid.

"It's already very good. After all, the five northern provinces have been hit hard many times, and they are so poor that they don't even have enough to eat, let alone fight."

"When I rule the empire, I will definitely cultivate my health and make sure everyone has enough to eat."

The Grand Duke waved his hand and did not care about the response of the northern nobles. In his opinion, the northern nobles were useless. Both dishonest and stupid.

"Your Majesty has mercy."

Everyone around him decisively flattered him.

"Hey, Your Majesty, I am just a knight on the battlefield, a knight who fights for all nobles."

Grand Duke Gems waved his hands humbly, but his face was almost broken from laughter.

"By the way, did you get any information from the prisoners and surrendered generals?"

"Yes, the guard general of Silver Lake Fortress is Buwell. There are 20,000 defenders. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Along the west of Silver Lake, there is a hidden ferry. The defender is a local baron: Bruwen, who leads an army of 1,000 people. , stationed with five hundred local militiamen.”

"I suggest taking the ferry and besieging the fortress." The despicable consultant immediately put forward a strategic plan. "In addition, pay and provide intelligence to the demi-humans, the hero kings and the Franconians, and let them frequently attack the empire's supply lines. When the time comes, there will be wars everywhere, hehe. ”

"Wrong. The Silver Lake Fortress is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I suggest that after taking the ferry, send elite cavalry to burn down the food transfer city and cut off the supply of Golden Storm Silver Lake." A bad-looking consultant suggested.

"It's better to pretend to attack and trick more imperial troops into entering the Silver Lake Fortress. Then we will trap the fortress and then join the plague."

Another sullen adviser suggested.

The Grand Duke's think tank is extremely reliable. They are elites who have been cultivated by the family for decades, and talents who are grateful for the preferential treatment of the Gemstone family.

"No need to go to such trouble, militiamen? What the hell, there's no one left in the empire."

Grand Duke Gem had an expression like "an old man on the subway looking at his cell phone" and waved his hand disdainfully.

"Let my youngest son Vaughn lead an elite night raid and seize the ferry. The mage army goes to the east to build a magic stone bridge. The water army blocks Silver Lake and doesn't let anyone out."

"I will take down Silver Lake Fortress with dignity and dignity!"

At 2 o'clock in the morning that night, the local nobleman Bruwen did not expect that the Grand Duke Gemstone would come all the way.

When the army had not yet established a firm foothold, they actually dared to send elite troops to cross the river overnight for a surprise attack.

He was caught off guard immediately.

Rao Shi's army resisted desperately, but did not wait for half a reinforcement.

Baron Bruwen refused to retreat and was trampled to pulp by horses' hooves. His chosen ones were defeated. He was humiliated after unwilling to surrender and committed suicide after exhausting his divine power.

The next day, under the cover of the fleet, the Archduke's army successfully crossed the river and surrounded the Silver Lake Fortress.

Next, there was a tragic and long siege.

The news of the Battle of Silver Lake was brought back by the merchants three days later.

Lance and others had an unforgettable holiday in Night Territory.

By the way, they also packed a carriage of happy beans and soap.

"We are leaving. Thank you for your hospitality." Lance sighed, "This clean and peaceful city is unforgettable for me."

"The door of Night Territory will always be open to friendly people."

"You are not the same as the people of the Ross family." Everyone sighed.

Field also smiled: "Then goodbye."

"Goodbye, may victory always be with you."

After the investigation team left.

Field stood there for a long time.

"My lord, have we been recognized by the empire?" Black Feather, whose injuries had not yet healed, came up and squeezed out a weak smile.

"How is it possible, little fool."

Field was happy and turned around to give Black Feather a head bang.

"Don't let down your guard against oppressors just because of a few good people."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Little Sun and Rosaria appeared.

"I think this time, the Queen will take action against the Night Lord."

"The Queen can send people to investigate me, which means she is determined to kill me." Field wrote with his pen, his eyes narrowed slightly, "The higher the position, the more they need to satisfy their sense of security."
