Chapter 214 The huge sensation brought by Leon
When the familiar flag came into view, the Duke of Mercia was completely confused.
You know, the Duke of Mercia had met Leon as early as the previous civil war in the kingdom.
Not only did they meet, but they also drank together, and they had a deep memory of the unique double-headed eagle flag in the Kingdom of Andal.
But the key issue is obviously not whether we recognize the flag or not.
And why is that formidable cavalry actually flying the flag of the Antolians!
As one of the many nobles of the Kingdom of Andal, the Duke of Mercia is naturally aware of the glorious achievements of the Antolians!
You know, that was the first tangible result achieved by the Andal Kingdom since it sent out troops!
Crossing the border mountains, heading straight to the south of the principality.
These impressive results even amazed the Duke of Mercia until now.
So much so that he even regretted not taking advantage of Leon's presence in the west of the kingdom to achieve a political marriage between the two families.
After all...
Leon is the only child of the Jimena family, and his descendants will definitely inherit the title of Marquis of Antolia in the future.
"Don't act rashly yet."
The Duke of Mercia said in a deep voice.
As a member of the great nobility, the Duke of Mercia could of course rely on his own connections to understand the order that Wilbert I had given Leon to send troops north.
But going north and returning to the north is a bit too much, right?
From the south bank of the Meyerson River all the way north to Blackwater City, is this really something that a marquis from the Kingdom of Andal can do?
This naturally caused some doubts in the mind of the Duke of Mercia.
Could it be that those young nobles had been wiped out in the Principality of Norton, and then the Walrasians tried to trick the city gates into opening under the guise of the Antolians?
right!
That must be it!
The Duke of Mercia thought so.
Moreover, the Duke of Mercia also found a theoretical basis for his ideas.
As we all know, there are no horses in Antolia.
How could it be possible to assemble a cavalry army of thousands of people?
How could it be possible to pass all the way through the actual control area of the Kingdom of Walras and reach the outside of Blackwater City unimpeded?
So this must be a Walrasian trick!
The Duke of Mercia felt that he had seen through the details of the cavalry.
However, this sense of achievement that made everyone drunk and me alone did not last long.
Because soon, really soon, a slightly familiar figure appeared in the sight of the Duke.
That is the face of Leon Jimena, Marquis of Antolia!
Although they only met a few times, the Duke of Mercia was really impressed by this face.
After all...
looking at the entire aristocratic class of the Kingdom of Andal, he has never seen anyone more handsome than Leon!
"Long time no see, Duke of Mercia!"
It wasn't until Leon took a seat in the Duke's tent and sent a cordial greeting to this old acquaintance that the Duke of Mercia finally came back to his senses.
"Le...Leon..."
The Duke of Mercia's voice was slightly trembling: "How did you do it?" No
matter how hard the western nobleman racked his brains, he still couldn't figure out why he did it a month ago. Leon, who was on the south bank of the Meyerson River, unexpectedly appeared so suddenly on the western border of the Kingdom of Andal.
It would be okay if he came from the rear, but Leon clearly came from the direction of Norton controlled by the Walras people!
Are all Walrasians blind? Are you just watching this Antorian army swaggering past them?
"It's just a fluke."
Leon said modestly. However, being modest, Leon still roughly explained the results of his trip to the Duke of Mercia.
For example, the attack on White Rock Creek, or the capture of Bolton... The Duke of Mercia was stunned for a moment.
What is this operation?
Not to mention that he has never seen it before, I am afraid that in the hearts of the nobles of the entire Kingdom of Andal, this is something that they would not even dare to think about!
And it’s easy for Leon to say it, but every step of it requires great courage, great self-confidence, and taking great risks!
But no matter what, Leon succeeded!
He went all the way north from the south bank of the Meyerson River. Not only did he briefly recover Bolton, the capital of the Principality of Norton, on the way, but he also successfully joined the army at the western border of the Kingdom of Andal!
This is simply a slap in the Walrasian face!
"Such important news must be presented to Military Minister Yubel Harin immediately!"
"No!"
"Not just to Yubel Harin, but also directly to the royal capital! Let His Majesty the King know this news!"
When he finally recovered from the shock, the Duke of Mercia said with great excitement.
The Walras people are not invincible, and the Andal Kingdom's army is not all rookies!
At this moment, the image of the young marquis became extremely shining and dazzling in the eyes of the Duke of Mercia.
"That's right!"
Leon seemed to have thought of something and said aloud: "On this trip north, the Antolians also captured many nobles from the Kingdom of Walras. I hope the Duke will free up some camps to hold prisoners of war as soon as possible. "
Prisoner of war?"
Hearing this, the Duke of Mercia couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"First-class Tablo, Bruni Bent, and more than fifty Walras nobles with titles of first-class Haji and above!"
Leon once again released a piece of bombshell news.
"Bronnie Bent..."
The Duke of Mercia felt somewhat familiar with this name.
Then...
he opened his mouth wide as expected!
"Bronnie Bent!"
In just half a day, the Duke of Mercia's brain had shut down for the second time.
"Leon, are you sure that man is Browne Bent?"
"That's natural."
Leon nodded seriously: "When that guy greeted the so-called Walrasian army at the gate of Bolton City, He was brought here after being knocked down by my sword scabbard, so there will be no mistakes." After
being knocked unconscious by my sword scabbard...
Mercia felt that the amount of information in Leon's words was a bit large.
But that's Brownie Bent!
Needless to say, this is of extremely great significance to the development of the war in the Kingdom of Andal and even the entire Principality of Norton! It can be said to be great news!
"The Marquis of Antolia is really... really..."
The Duke of Mercia desperately searched for all the words that could be used to describe Leon's meritorious service in his mind, and this finally made the Duke realize the limitations of his vocabulary. Scarcity.
...
the next day.
News of the victory of the Marquis of Antolia spread throughout the Andal border.
The Andal army is in a state of excitement!
And...
