Chapter 91 Heading north! Go north!
In June, Yi went to war.
As summer approaches, the noon in Antolia is already as hot as a furnace. The scorching sun shines on Leon's body and also shines on the resolute faces of the Antolian soldiers.
Leon turned back and looked at the endless wheat fields on the south bank of the Bairen River from a distance, feeling a trace of regret in his heart.
Antoria eventually became a participant in the kingdom's civil war, and this war also made it very likely that Leon would not be able to see the scene of the first autumn harvest after the improvement of the black soil.
"I hope this year will be a good year."
"It will definitely be!"
Aaron nodded seriously: "Please rest assured, Lord Viscount, as long as Aaron is still alive, he will ensure that Antolia is safe and peaceful until Lord Viscount returns. By then, we are bound to see a prosperous Antoria!"
"Then Antoria will be left to you!"
Leon patted Aaron on the shoulder, just like his father every time he went on an expedition, he would Aaron's instructions.
"Lord Viscount!"
Seeing that Leon was about to leave, Stan on the side said quickly: "The Antoria mercenaries promise to complete the mission!"
"I believe you!" Leon said with a smile.
After that, he turned his horse around, glanced at the soldiers who were already ready to go, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
In an instant, the soldiers of the Lapruk Army and the Antolian Militia Army, under the command of their respective commanders, At the same time, they turned around, the warm summer wind blew across everyone's determined cheeks, and a cry of salad came from the leaves in the forest.
Andrew, Juan, Todd.
This time, apart from the Antolian mercenaries led by Stan, Antolia was full of elites.
The Lapruk Army and the Antolian Militia sent a total of 1,200 soldiers, which at least on the surface gave the Duke of Galicia face.
But there is nothing wrong with it, after all... Before finding a suitable opportunity, Leon must maintain the image of a loyal nobleman in order to gain the maximum benefit when sudden trouble arises.
The distance from Antolia to Parma is neither too close nor too far.
But to Leon's surprise, even if most of the soldiers were on foot and arrived at a certain point, Antolia's army was still the first group to arrive.
As for the reasons for the delay in leading the army by the other nobles, there are all kinds of strange things.
It's cloudy and rainy and the road is difficult to travel, and it's too late to eat before setting off. In short, it's just one word, outrageous!
This level of organization and execution is probably not even as good as the African region in the previous life.
And since the other armies were all struggling, the performance of the Antolian army was particularly eye-catching.
"Is that the army of Antolia?!"
Standing on the city wall of Parma, Deol couldn't help but exclaimed.
In front of his eyes, this army from Antolia was like a long dragon walking outside the city. Even after a long march, it still maintained an orderly formation. Not only was it not disorderly at all, but it also showed a This kind of spirit is not possessed by other aristocratic armies.
And when they arrived in the city of Parma, they only stationed themselves in a temporary camp that had been prepared outside the city in an extremely orderly manner. Obviously, they were not comparable to the troops led by other nobles.
"But... why are there so many people?!"
Looking at the group of soldiers in the distance, Deol felt particularly confused.
He basically knew the population of Antolia.
Even though a lot of refugees have been accepted during this period, and it is said that the number is tens of thousands, but it is not like they can pull out an army with thousands of people at a glance, right?
Could it be that...Leon brought all the young people from Antolia?
For a moment, Deol felt a touch of emotion in his heart.
Leon is such a good person!
Looking around, which noble among the vassals of the Bravis family can be as upright as Leon? As attentive as Leon?
"According to the number of people reported by Leon Jimena, Viscount of Antolia, a total of 1,200 soldiers were mobilized by the Viscount of Antolia this time. And following Viscount Leon, there was also the Earl of Gray Water Castle Five hundred militiamen were dispatched."
"The troops from Gray Water Castle also moved with Antolia?"
"Yes."
The military officer on the side nodded.
In fact, theoretically speaking, under normal circumstances, the number of troops sent by the Earl of Gray Water Castle should be much larger than that of Leon.
After all, one is an earl and the other is a viscount.
But the problem is that the hounds attacked the city in the cold winter, and almost the entire Earldom of Graywater Castle fell under the bloody teeth of the plateau hounds, and a large number of people died.
After expelling the plateau hounds, the Antolian mercenaries who rushed for reinforcements kidnapped a large number of people with the connivance of the Duke of Galicia, so that Graywater Castle has not recovered until now.
Therefore, when Leon's army passed through the Earl of Graywater Castle's fiefdom, the nobleman who had been tormented by Leon for a long time simply handed over the militia he had forced into Leon's hands.
Firstly, it was to show kindness to the young Viscount Antolia, and secondly, it was for the safety of his own son.
The Earl of Graywater Castle is self-aware of himself. His fat body will be exhausted even after walking a few steps. It is really impossible to go into battle in person.
Therefore, it was his son Collunde Wayne who took the place of Lord Eli Wayne of Greywater Castle.
On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind, so it is very important to follow the right person.
Among the many nobles in the southern part of the kingdom, there are not many nobles who can fight, but Leon is definitely one of them. Letting his son follow the Antorians who are good at fighting is obviously better than following the other nobles as cannon fodder. Much better.
And Leon is naturally willing to take over these soldiers from Gray Water Castle.
After all...
the purpose of his trip was not really to help Helson win the throne. He wanted to rebel against the Duke of Galicia and Helson!
Now, someone actually jumped on the pirate ship without his knowledge. Leon was too late to be happy, so how could he refuse?
The great man said it well, unite all forces that can be united.
Although the quality of the soldiers of Gray Water Castle is really hard to compliment, but adhering to the idea of "making a lot of friends and making a few enemies", it is always good to have the support of an extra noble.
Even if this nobleman doesn't realize what he is doing at all, it can increase the possibility of success for his plan and strengthen his own momentum!
"Those following at the end should be the militiamen of Gray Water Castle, right?"
Deor looked around. Compared with the soldiers who were walking in neat steps, the soldiers hanging at the end of the team were obviously inferior in overall quality. A big difference.
"Yes."
The military affairs officer immediately gave an affirmative reply.
"The Antorian mercenaries are indeed extraordinary! Not only do they appear to have experienced hundreds of battles at first glance, but they also have a large number of them!"
"Uh..."
the military officer was stunned for a moment, then cautiously added:
"In fact, all of them It's the militia of Antolia..."
And...
