"Hehehe, you're really confident."
Valeria said with a smile:
"Although this thing is somewhat difficult to obtain, it is indeed worthy of the title."
"These lackeys of the Light Vein are in for a rough time..."
…………
Two days later, Lind finally got out of bed.
Exhausted from the past few days, he didn't want to move, so he stayed in the tent, teasing Nix while continuing to receive battle reports from outside.
"Lilens is actually quite capable."
Linde looked at the battle reports, which were mostly good news.
After Lillens led his troops to besiege Greenburg, he built a large number of fortifications in the castle, and the camps outside the castle were so well-equipped that they were not afraid of cavalry raids.
During this time, small groups of Sassian cavalry from other castles attempted to launch a feint attack on Lillens' camp, but they were all scattered by his pre-positioned ambush troops.
After several days, the Sassians realized that they couldn't take over this small camp without a real fight.
So the Sassians sent a force that also set up a fortified camp a few miles from the Lilens camp.
This led to another stalemate between the two sides. Just now, a letter that forced Lind to leave his tent was delivered to Lind's camp.
It was written by Sutherland himself.
The text states that he dispatched his most elite Silver Lance Knights, ordering Lind to provide cover for the heavy cavalry and to completely crush the arriving reinforcements at Grinburg.
Finally, they seized Greenburg and completely took control of the battle.
"Ugh...this is so troublesome..."
Charging into battle is never an easy job, but Lind had no choice.
Because he had indeed heard of this heavy cavalry regiment called the Silver Lance Knights.
The name is indeed impressive; as its name suggests, it is a cavalry regiment composed entirely of Silver-rank knights.
Enchanted armor from head to toe, a warhorse armed to the teeth with the bloodline of a demon beast...
Only a count-level power could afford to support such a heavy cavalry force.
Today is the day that this heavy cavalry regiment will arrive at Linde's garrison.
"Come on, Nix, the rest time is over. There's a tough battle ahead."
"Meow~ I know!"
With a practiced swift movement, Nix disappeared into Lind's shadow, where a pair of bright amber eyes shone, observing the surrounding movements.
Linde donned his armor, prepared his sword, and arrived at the camp.
After two days of rest and preparation, Linde's soldiers have recovered to their best condition, and with the help of the activation aura, they are all full of energy.
Several soldiers who had been injured in the fighting a few days earlier have recovered from their injuries.
Gazing at the nearly midday sun, Lind murmured:
"That's about enough..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of rapidly moving active light spots appeared in Linde's activated field of vision.
Each of these active light spots shines with a powerful light, forming a spectacular sight when they merge together.
The one at the head was a rare, refined bronze-grade light.
"Wow... that's quite rare."
This was the first time Linde had ever seen a person of the Bronze rank in person.
I had met the old count, who was of mithril rank, at home before. The family's bronze-rank knights served in the legion, but I had never met them.
As the rumbling sound came, Linden felt the ground tremble beneath his feet.
All the warhorses ridden by the Silver Lance Knights are hybrids with the blood of magical beasts, and Lind only has one such hybrid horse, Bronzelight, so far.
This magnificent scene stirred Lin De's heart. After all, who hasn't dreamed of being a general clad in silver armor?
Soon, this imposing knightly order arrived before Lind.
Linde took a deep breath, calmed himself, and strode forward to meet them.
The lead bronze-rank knight reined in his horse, which neighed and reared up.
"You are Baron Linde? We are the Silver Lance Knights, assembled by order of Earl Sutherland."
The knight had sharp eyes and a loud voice.
“I am the commander, Jeffrey Whitelock.”
Indeed, the leader of the Silver Lance Knights also bears the surname Whitelock and is a direct descendant of Sutherland.
Why do I say that? Because the imposing knight commander before us is the illegitimate son of Earl Sutherland.
This matter was common knowledge within aristocratic circles.
The Earl of Sutherland was a pragmatic man who was very strict with his children and believed in the supremacy of strength. He intended to pass on the earldom to whoever was the most capable among his descendants.
Ironically, most of the Earl of Sutherland's children were incompetent, while the illegitimate son standing before them was the most promising.
Having just turned thirty, he was already the deputy commander of the Third Legion, the commander of the Silver Lance Knights, and a high-ranking knight of the Bronze rank.
Linde held such people in the highest regard, after all, someone who had the ability to climb from being an illegitimate child to his current position could not be an ordinary person!
"Welcome, I've been waiting here for a long time."
Linde bowed slightly to express his respect.
After welcoming the group, Lind led him into the council tent.
Here is a simple sand table that Linde made himself.
After taking their seats, Linde spoke first:
"Lord Jeffrey, I have received the Earl's letter, which details the war plan. Does the Earl have any further orders?"
Linde wanted to confirm this, lest he become a pawn on the battlefield without even realizing it; it's always good to be cautious.
Jeffrey smiled slightly.
"The Earl has no other orders. First, defeat the newly arrived group of Sassians. After defeating them, assist Lilens in breaking through Greenburg."
"Okay, then let's do it this way."
Linde had no objection to this, after all, the other side couldn't just stand by and watch us attack the city directly.
If we directly attack the city, we will definitely be attacked by the enemy.
"How about we set the time for dawn tomorrow?"
"Okay, let's do it that way."
The conversation with this count's illegitimate son was very pleasant, without any dragging on and full of useful information.
After the other party left, Lind turned around and found Astaire and Raymond.
"Go and prepare. At dawn tomorrow, we will launch a feint attack on Greenburg to lure out the Sassians in the camp. After defeating them, we will return and join forces with Theorys to break through Greenburg."
Both nodded, indicating that there was no problem and that Astaire had already made preparations regarding the soldiers.
Ordinary soldiers stayed behind at the camp, while bronze warriors attacked in formation.
After giving the instructions, Lind began preparing some of the magical gadgets that might be used the next day.
"Crystal Remains Javelin, fill it up."
"The core was replicated, and the energy was refilled."
"The rest... let's just put them all in crystal skeletons, simple and straightforward."
