Chapter 594 Although he didn't know what was going on, Rand planned to attack personally
Rand fell asleep on his throne again.
To be precise, I was almost asleep, with only a little bit of wandering consciousness at most.
The mirror-like floor reflected the young and handsome face of the sleepy man.
The tall throne represents supreme authority.
The king was inattentive, and the secretary Olenna took advantage of the little free time to comb her soft brown hair in front of a small mirror under the slanting sunlight that shone into the palace.
Olenna didn't take too much trouble to dress herself up, but with a little grooming, her natural beauty was enough to stand out.
After Olenna sorted herself out, she turned her gaze back to Rand who was sitting on the throne beside her.
The sunlight also shone on Rand's face, making her face bright.
And Olenna just watched quietly.
Olenna saw Rand's face almost every day, but she didn't mind looking at this... her man, the current King of the Moon Kingdom, more every day.
Rand is lazy, even childish at times. He has neither the elegance of a nobleman nor the majesty of a king. He never seems to pursue any status or style.
Olenna had never thought at the beginning that Rand could become king.
At first, she just thought she should follow Rand, so she resigned from the White King without hesitation, along with Ellie.
It was only after meeting Rand that Olenna realized what she should do.
If she hadn't met Rand, Olenna felt that she would have ended up as an unremarkable professor at the Central University of the White Kingdom, or an official accompanying Ellie.
Olenna was grateful that she had met Rand.
I really saw a different world.
Olenna's emerald eyes, like cat's eyes, stared at Rand.
After a long time.
Then someone broke the silence.
A maid hurriedly obtained permission to enter the palace and found the sleepy Moon King, His Majesty Rand.
She has important news to convey.
This is an administrative maid. Ordinary maids are certainly not qualified to get involved in political affairs, not even for summons.
Generally, those who are responsible for this kind of palace communication are special court officials, who can be court knights or trusted officials of the royal family. Of course, they can also have an administrative maid like Rand did.
In fact, she is just an administrator wearing a maid outfit. Apart from the maid outfit, she will not do any maid-related work, such as cleaning or serving her master.
The maid instantly slowed down her pace so as not to disturb His Majesty.
The maid then looked at Scribe Olenna.
Olenna glanced.
After whispering to the maid, Olenna frowned and signaled that the maid could leave.
Then, back in the peaceful administrative hall of the palace, Olenna gently massaged Rand's temple with her fingertips.
Soon Rand woke up a little from his daze.
Rand held Olenna's hand, opened his eyes, and asked, "What happened?"
"Rebels have appeared in the territory." Olenna said.
Rand's originally sleepy eyes suddenly became sharp.
The appearance of rebels in the territory is a very serious matter.
This means that the lord has suffered a serious loss of control over his territory.
Even with Rand's current situation, rebellion in the territory is something that needs attention.
"What exactly?"
"At the southern border of the duchy, in the city where Vanilla and his companions went to practice, there are about 1,000 enemies, among which there are about 200 regular soldiers and 70 knights. They are besieging it, and the siege has just begun."
Olenna reported.
The border area of the Dukedom of the Moon here naturally refers to the original border. The border areas of the Moon Kingdom have not yet been completely controlled by Rand. Taner and Fenris are leading people to clean up those enemies who are still resisting.
The problem now is the border issue of the Duchy.
And within the jurisdiction of the dukedom, most large towns are equipped with vibration communication devices.
This means terrifying communication efficiency.
The message that would have taken the horses several days to convey was delivered to Rand in an instant.
"No, is there anyone special here? Why do we need to ask for help with such a small number of troops?" Rand was stunned after hearing the report. "I remember that Serai Fenglingsers went there, and the troops he brought were all the elite troops of the headquarters. Many paladins of the Torch Church also went there."
"According to the explanation in the message... I understand that it is because there is a process that needs to be followed. This is a practice after all. Generally speaking, it is not easy to win when surrounded, so it is a good opportunity for inexperienced people to experience the process of asking for help."
As for why the message needs to be understood, it is naturally because the current vibration communication devices are gradually improving in terms of communication stability and transmission distance.
But ultimately, it is limited by the form of communication, and the amount of accurate information that can be stably transmitted has an upper limit.
Therefore, the information conveyed has always been relatively concise, even abstract.
"Oh, I understand now. Then it's time for me to take action myself." Rand suddenly became much more energetic.
During this period of time, Rand has been dealing with the overall affairs of the fallen country. These boring and troublesome tasks have really made Rand a little depressed. Now that he can get out and move around again, Rand will not miss this opportunity.
"Your guards are ready to go." Olenna had expected Rand to answer like this.
"Then let's go." Rand stretched.
Rand's body is not actually really tired. Blessing 1 [Thirst of the Black Goat Mother] brings a powerful recovery effect. The reason why Rand feels tired is because this is his nature.
You will always feel tired at work, and if you keep doing boring work, you will want to rest.
Now it's a good opportunity to take my dear lover Olenna out and conquer some stupid enemies, which can be considered a good entertainment activity.
Just treat it as a parade, Rand wants to show off his power as a king.
Let those who are potentially ready to rebel realize how stupid their idea of rebellion is.
Rand may not have enough people to rule such a large territory at the same time.
But the powerful force of the vibration communication device means that Rand does not need too many people to manage too many places at the same time. It only needs to deploy forces in key areas and then respond at any time.
This is in line with the school's local development strategy.
The school's local training strategy combined with the use of vibration communication devices to provide support at any time can basically maintain a certain degree of local control.
Of course, this model is still very rough and everything will be very difficult, but at least Rand thinks it is feasible.
As for the problems that will be encountered later, they will naturally be left to the officials of the territory and the top leaders of the sanctuary to think about together.
Rand would not expect to rule a country with his own wisdom.
Moreover, as a foreigner, Rand does not actually look down on the wisdom of any local people.
Rand was clearly aware of how smart his Sanctuary leaders were, and he could rely on their strength.
"Let's go, my kingdom's first knight order." Rand said loudly while riding on the dragon-blood eagle.
To wipe out a mixed army of one thousand classic nobles, there is no need to dispatch the Kingdom's First Knights.
But originally, Vanilla and the others didn't need to ask for help, right? "Yes!" The Dragonblood Falcon Knights raised their weapons, and countless sharp blades were raised above their heads, reflecting the sunlight like the sparkling surface of a lake.
The dragon-blood eagles under their mounts seemed to sense the knights' call, and they spread their scaly wings and cried.
Then, the First Knights of the Moon Kingdom took off into the sky.
…
The border of the Duke of Moon Phase at this time.
The nobles of the Kingdom of Borun breathed a sigh of relief.
Today is the second day of the offensive.
Although the insiders in the city still did not respond, the attack plan was actually going relatively smoothly.
Although the attack still failed, the enemy's city walls were severely damaged.
The enemy's resistance was not too fierce. Even if the enemy gained local advantages, there was no counterattack.
The enemy's level of elite is indeed very high, but the fact that they can only encounter elite enemies just reflects their essential weakness.
There are not many people on the opposite side. After these elite enemies are dealt with, there will be no one left on the opposite side.
And it doesn't matter how slow we are in dealing with these elite enemies.
Human energy is limited. Even if you cannot kill the enemy, you can at least tire them out. After all, their number is indeed small.
"Don't be afraid of the enemy, they are few in number, and we have reinforcements." The uprising of the nobles of the Kingdom of Bolen was of course the result of the collaboration of many people, but he was the first to start it.
Soon, troops from the Kingdom of Borun in other places will come to support, or they will start a rebellion in other places to attract the attention of the Moon Kingdom defenders.
By then, the defenders of the Moon Kingdom will be caught off guard.
Although the nobles of the Kingdom of Bolen actually felt that in such a war-torn situation, King Rand of the Kingdom of the Moon might surrender to them.
By then, they might be able to reluctantly accept Rand as a puppet king.
"Charge, my warriors." The noble of the Kingdom of Bolen gave the order.
In fact, it is just as the nobles of the Kingdom of Bolen judged.
The number of defenders in the city was indeed small.
But so far only two unlucky people have lost their lives for some stupid reasons, and the others have only suffered minor injuries at most.
"Pay attention! Just hold your line and don't do anything unnecessary. Your priority is to protect your own life. Now is not the time for you to fight for your life!" The scarred general Serai roared loudly to emphasize the key points.
"Pay attention to what the instructors teach you. Don't be stupid or brave. His Majesty Rand gave you enough food, sufficient training, and expensive knowledge, but he didn't want you to waste your life here."
The morale of the warriors under Serai is very high, and we must always be careful not to kill too many people. The ragtag army outside is no match for these warriors, but if we really want to defeat them outside the city, we may still lose some manpower and the exercise will not be effective.
Although the city wall is now in ruins, it is still a defensive facility after all. With the city wall occupying the advantageous geographical location and excellent armor, it is basically difficult to die as long as you are not too stupid.
"Don't charge, hold your post!" Serai emphasized again, and caught a flying arrow. The huge force made the flying arrow stop in place, and the tail of the arrow made a clanging sound.
Serai reversed the arrow, twisted his waist slightly, took a step, gathered strength with his arms, elbows, and wrists, and then shot it.
The metal arrow pierced the throat of the archer who shot at him with precision.
Serai was born a hunter, and the skill of archery is completely instinctive to him.
The archer who was hit in the throat could only fall down holding his throat.
Vanilla cast several spells and Wind Chime also shot several arrows.
However, Vanilla and Wind Chime were also very restrained. When they took action, they were basically protecting their own people to prevent them from being surrounded and killed.
Seth did not fight in person, he handled logistical matters in the rear.
Seth is very powerful in combat, but his power is too much towards the Mother Goddess and is not suitable for use in serious situations.
In short, these middle and senior level personnel are not very aggressive, and their state is completely different from when they are fighting for their lives.
The battle continued for a while, until around dusk.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard from the horizon.
The nobles of the Kingdom of Bolun were stunned. Although he had connected with many people, they actually came to help now?
Could it be that you want to come here to share the benefits?
But it doesn’t matter, they are reinforcements after all, and our chances of winning are better now.
As for the Moon Kingdom soldiers on the city wall, they could see farther and they knew that they were reinforcements from the Moon Kingdom.
And they are the first knight order of the Moon Kingdom.
Those who have participated in the military system know deeply what kind of army the First Knights of the Moon Kingdom is.
Only the best, most loyal and wisest warriors can join this legion.
Then they will get a mount that can carry them to fly.
Rand was already commanding the knights to prepare for the charge.
In fact, he would rather have his army fly down from the sky to attack, which would not only look very cool but would also help expand the results of the battle.
Countless dragon-blood eagles descending from the sky can easily reduce the morale of most armies to the lowest level.
But considering that this is probably just an exercise, if the flying capability is activated, it will not be able to simulate a regular support force.
So let the knights run forward on the road normally.
However, the rumbling sound of a large number of war horses pounding their hooves on the ground while running is also of great strategic deterrent significance.
And didn't the sound of galloping frighten the enemy? Rand was able to observe through Crow Coke that even though they heard the sound of horse hooves, the army of the Kingdom of Boren was still attacking the city wall in an orderly manner.
Rand's originally relaxed expression turned serious.
This means that the enemy's strength is far beyond imagination and the previous judgment is wrong.
We must attack with all our might, even the situation in the city may be extremely critical.
Then just pass through.
The enemy is more vulnerable than you can imagine.
The unprepared enemies were easily defeated, and Rand soon saw the rebel nobles of the Kingdom of Bolen who were pinned to the ground and had not yet figured out what was happening.
Now Rand was a little confused.
