Chapter 459: Preparing to run away? (Thanks to the reward of 'Lianjuanmingyue'!)

Holding the long sword on the soldier's neck and listening to the horn he blew, Gervis breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the army of the Principality of Jean in the distance quickly begin to withdraw.

As for whether the king would cause trouble for him later, Gervis felt that after they saw what was happening in the distance, they would probably thank him.

"Who blew the horn?"

The king's elite knights returned to the platform first, while the earls like Avery who did not want to retreat all had grim faces. They wished they could skin the soldier who blew the horn alive immediately.

So, before King Lawrence could speak, Avery asked angrily.

“Yes… yes…”

"I was the one who told him to blow the horn and call back the troops!"

The soldier on the side was already trembling with fear, and Gervis certainly would not let him take the blame, so he immediately took over the conversation.

"Viscount Gervis, you are so brave. Do you know that passing on false orders on the battlefield can lead to direct execution? Even if you are a viscount, you are no exception!"

Avery and Nemio looked at Gervis with gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty, Viscount Gervis falsely transmitted military orders. If he is not severely punished, the morale of the army will surely be broken!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I suspect that Gervis has been bribed by the Duchy of Alban. After all, he has been in the Duchy of Alban for so long! He just withdrew his troops to help the Duchy of Alban!"

Nemio even wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to beat Gervis to death and immediately began to put a big hat on his head.

At this moment, the small vassals who had retreated also heard the quarrel in front of them one after another, and all of them glared at Gervis.

They fought desperately and almost won! Now everything had to start all over again, and the real blood was shed by these lower-class nobles and soldiers.

"Count Nemio, Count Avery, I don't know whether I will die or not, but if you keep talking nonsense, we will all die together soon! And you two will definitely die before me!"

Gervis looked at Nemio and Avery as if they were idiots, made a mocking remark, then ignored them and turned his gaze towards King Lawrence.

"Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent. Please go to the high platform and look into the distance! Make a decision as soon as possible!"

After saying this, Gervis looked into the distance silently without saying anything else.

King Lawrence, the Lord of the North and others were shocked to see Gervis being so serious. They could no longer sit still and immediately dismounted and jumped onto the platform.

When Nemio and Avery saw what Gervis was like, although they were extremely angry, they could only endure it temporarily and thought of exposing themselves later.

But when everyone reached the top of the platform, they followed Gervis's gaze and immediately discovered that a large number of cavalry were galloping towards them, and they would reach them in less than ten minutes.

Everyone was scared out of their wits.

"How is it possible! Where do so many cavalry come from? There must be at least 20,000 war horses, right?"

Seeing the huge black army rushing towards them, someone murmured to himself in astonishment.

This number of cavalry is already comparable to the total cavalry of all the noble vassals of the Principality of Jean.

"Could it be the Principality of Xis? But this is the heartland of the Principality of Alban, how could they come here?"

Everyone had guessed that apart from the three duchies, even the church did not have such a large number of cavalry.

According to rumors, the church has three major knightly orders, and the official Holy Knights Order has only 3,000 people. Not to mention their strength, based on this estimate, the number of knights in the church is at most 10,000.

Moreover, the other two knightly orders were only legends, and no one was sure whether they were true or not.

"Yes! More than 20,000 cavalrymen, that really means the whole country is mobilized. What does the Principality of Xisis want to do? Aren't they afraid that the church will take advantage of the situation?"

The Principality of XISI has always been the bridgehead for the mainland nobles to guard against the church. If there is any change in the church, the Principality of XISI will definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

Both King Lawrence and several earls felt that what was happening before their eyes was too strange and incomprehensible.

"Perhaps... the Principality of Xisis has already submitted to the Church?"

At this moment, Gervis, who had remained silent, spoke.

"How is this possible! The nobles cannot possibly submit to the church!"

Avery immediately stood up to refute.

"Your Majesty, I think that no matter whether those cavalrymen are from the Principality of Xis or are related to the church, we'd better prepare in advance."

Gust suggested to King Lawrence.

"Yes, Your Majesty! The reason why the Duchy of Alban withdrew its troops might be because of this incident. Moreover, the masters of the church just now plotted against two earls of the Duchy of Alban! They must have a big plan this time!"

Alice, who had been silent all this time, could no longer remain silent at this time. She had great trust in Gervis.

Moreover, the church had attacked Rose Castle in the past, so Alice was the earl who was most wary of the church besides King Lawrence and the Lord of the North.

"Pass on my order! Face south and quickly form a formation!"

"All cavalry, move to the front of the army!"

King Lawrence also knew that the situation was urgent. No matter who the cavalrymen in front were, they must have bad intentions, so he immediately began to give orders!

Woohoo~

As King Lawrence's order was issued, the soldiers who had retreated in some confusion began to line up again under the leadership of the officers, and more than 5,000 elite cavalrymen also rode to the front of the army to prevent the cavalry in the distance from attacking the infantry phalanx.

…

Six minutes later, when the army of the Principality of Jean was hastily arranged, tens of thousands of cavalrymen in the distance finally arrived here.

The direction they were coming from was exactly the direction of Hayden Royal City. If they had gone straight ahead, they would have run into the army of the Principality of Alban right away.

However, for some unknown reason, when they were one mile away from the Principality of Alban, they made a detour, bypassed the camp of the Principality of Alban, and came directly to the center between the Principality of Jean and the Principality of Alban.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"It turns out that he is from the Principality of Xis!"

When the army of the Principality of Threads slowly stopped on the battlefield ahead, several earls from the Principality of Jean immediately recognized the flags in their ranks.

Since then, the troops of the three principalities on the Eurasian continent have gathered together at the same time.

"Your Majesty, dozens of cavalrymen have rushed out from the Principality of Xis!"

At this moment, several earls were still paying attention to the movements of the Principality of XISIS on the high platform. They immediately discovered that the Principality of XISIS had sent dozens of cavalrymen to the center of the three parties, as if waiting for the other two principalities to come for discussions.

"Gust, you stay here to prevent any emergencies. The rest of you come with me to see what's going on in the Principality of Xis!"

Afterwards, under the leadership of King Lawrence, all the earls except the Lord of the North followed Lawrence towards the center of the battlefield.

Gervis was also ready to follow, but before he caught up, he quickly pulled over Ike who had been waiting for him at the foot of the stage.

"Ike, go gather all the troops, including the medical team, and prepare everyone to evacuate!"

Gervis gave a quick instruction to Ike, paused for a moment, worried that something had been missed, and continued immediately.

"Make sure to prepare enough carriages. If not, you can remove all the small catapults. We must ensure that everyone who doesn't have a warhorse can ride on a carriage!"

"Yes! Sir!"

Although Ike didn't know what was going on, he would carry out Gervis' orders without hesitation.

"By the way, send someone to secretly tell my father, Baron Pat, Baron Bertram and others!"

"Yes! Sir!"

Ike continued to respond!

So, Gervis asked Ik to quickly do what he had asked him to do, and then followed the king and others to the center of the battlefield.

Gervis had a guess in his mind that the church's plan might be more than that.

Because even with the 20,000 cavalrymen of the Principality of Ixis, it is impossible to really annihilate the armies of the Principality of Jean and the Principality of Alban at the same time.

So Gervais wonders what the church will do next.

No matter what the final situation is, you must be prepared to run away just in case.

Of course, even if he guessed wrong, that didn't matter, because there was nothing to lose!
