But relying solely on Desevi was far from enough. The entire Rhodok Kingdom had a large number of archers. These Rhodok crossbowmen kept shooting arrows at the city walls. The attack power of crossbows was greater than that of bows and arrows, so the Nord archers suffered a lot. Wals was helpless for a while and had to let the archers hide behind the city walls and try not to shoot at the Rhodok crossbowmen. If these Rhodok soldiers wanted to launch an attack, they would wait until they were within the effective shooting range before shooting at them. This would save ammunition and accurately strike the enemy, which was a solution to this problem.
King Gryphus could not think of a good way to deal with Wals's avoidance of shooting and not letting those soldiers show their heads. He had to let his soldiers verbally attack Wals, trying to provoke Wals and let his archers shoot his soldiers. As long as those archers showed their heads, his Rhodok crossbowmen could quickly shoot them.
When Wals saw how fierce the Rhodok crossbowmen were, he became very interested in these crossbow arrows. In fact, the Kingdom of Swadia also had crossbowmen, but the crossbowmen of the Kingdom of Swadia were obviously not as good as those of the Kingdom of Rhodok.
Moreover, after the previous wars, a large number of Swadian soldiers were injured, and Wals only coveted the knights of the Swadian Kingdom. Most of the cavalry he recruited were those who fought on horseback. As for the crossbowmen of the Swadian Kingdom, Wals did not recruit too many. On the one hand, it was because the manufacture of crossbows was difficult and cumbersome, and on the other hand, Wals felt that the crossbowmen of the Rhodok Kingdom were more powerful. Therefore, Wals wanted to recruit those crossbowmen of the Rhodok Kingdom, but now it seems that this plan is not feasible at all. The Rhodok crossbowmen are unwilling to fight with their motherland anyway.
The plan to recruit Rhodok crossbowmen should be implemented only after the demise of the Rhodok Kingdom. However, the Rhodok Kingdom cannot be destroyed in a short time, and Wals can only hide behind the city wall now.
Reinforcements gathered from all directions of the Nordic Kingdom. Of course, they could not reach Suno one by one, as that would just be sending their heads away. They first assembled in a city as agreed upon. Since those lords with more seniority had already followed King Ragnar to conquer the Kingdom of Vigia, they nominated a young talent as the leader of this army. This matter was also reported to King Ragnar. King Ragnar temporarily understood that the situation in his country was not particularly good, so he did not interfere too much with the affairs of those young lords here. After all, King Ragnar was not at war with the Rhodok Kingdom now, and he was not very clear about the situation in Su Luo. It would be better to let them make their own decisions and jointly recommend a leader as the marshal of his young lords.
The marshal recommended was Solton Yar. Solton Yar was a kind lord. He was gentle and had a good relationship with the new lords. However, getting along well with them was one aspect. His military ability to lead troops was obviously insufficient. However, Solton Yar was not the commander-in-chief of the longest war. Solton Yar's purpose was only to gather the lords who were not recruited from all over the country, and then he would give the command to Wals. Everyone knew that Wals' military talent was the best among them. Now was the time for them to unite and fight back the invading enemy together. As for the hatred in peacetime, of course, they had to wait until the end of the war to deal with it.
All the older lords followed King Ragnar to fight. The younger generation of lords did not dare to rebel. This was King Ragnar's innovation in handing over the command of the war to a group of young lords. After all, if these young lords wanted to rebel, their fathers were still under King Ragnar's control. I believe they would not disregard their own safety. In other words, even if they wanted to imitate, their fathers could firmly suppress them. In this country, the lords of the older generation still had higher prestige.
After letting the messengers convey his will to the young lords in the kingdom, King Ragnar continued to prepare to attack Kulau. Although Kulau was Rodelaboye's territory, Rodelaboye followed King Yarogerk to rescue Dehrim. Therefore, the team that came to resist King Ragnar this time was an army led by Voldratboye.
According to common sense, if a country is divided into two armies, there will be two commanders. The result of two marshals is likely to cause rebellion. For King Ragnar, most of the people left in the country are the younger generation of the nation. As long as their fathers are controlled, then their own group of young lords will naturally be no problem. So Ragnar can rest assured to leave this group of young lords in the country to lead their own wars.
But it was not the case for King Yarogerk. He knew that his troops were at a disadvantage and he was attacked by two countries at the same time. He not only needed to keep the lords with good personnel relations to summon the lords who did not participate in the war to integrate into Voldratboye's army, but also needed a lord with outstanding military talents or rich combat experience to lead an army. Voldratboye was obviously such a person. He was a lord of the older generation, with both high enough reputation and rich combat experience. Although his military talent was not too superb, his rich combat experience could make up for it. King Yarogerk did not beg Voldrakpo to defeat Ragnar, he just hoped that Voldratboye could hold King Ragnar until he came back.
King Ragnar obviously guessed King Yarogerk's inner thoughts, so he wanted to defeat Voldratboye before King Yarogerk returned.
King Ragnar first deployed his troops under the city of Kulau. His Nord Royal Guards could break through all obstacles for him. The number and quality of the defenders in the city of Kulau far exceeded that of the defenders in Fort Ismorola. King Ragnar felt that the capture of the most cities in Kulau would not be smooth sailing this time. Moreover, his scouts had reported to him that Dratboye was recruiting troops, and those lords who had not yet participated in the war joined Voldratboye's army. A not very powerful army was immediately assembled, and King Ragnar shook his head in pain.
It is obviously impossible to break through Kulau in a short period of time. Cutting off the Kingdom of Vaegir in half, and achieving this goal before Sulo is broken, is obviously stressful for King Ragnar. The alliance between the Kingdom of Rhodok and the Kingdom of Unfallen has put King Ragnar under great pressure. Should he return to Suno now or continue the attack? This is undoubtedly a huge choice, success or failure depends on this game. King Ragnar thinks it is better to continue the attack. Even if Sunobe is broken, King Ragnar thinks it will not shake the foundation of the Kingdom of Nord. The top priority now is to destroy the Kingdom of Vaegir.
Attack the city!
The Nordic Royal Guards were not afraid of the arrows of the fake archers. They rushed to the city wall and fought desperately with the soldiers of the Kingdom of Vaegir. The powerful melee ability of the Nordic Royal Guards allowed them to kill people on the narrow city wall. Although they were not as crazy as Kadoc, they were better in numbers. The Nordic Royal Guards made great contributions when they broke through Suno and Paraven. They were also very capable in dealing with the Fort Ismorola of the Kingdom of Vaegir. This time, against the Vaegir defenders on the Ku Lao City Wall, although the number and quality were no longer as bad as before, which slowed down the Nordic Royal Guards' advancement a little, fortunately, the balance of victory began to tilt towards the Kingdom of Nord.
On the other hand, Dehrim was tightly surrounded by Saiga Khan of the Khergit Khanate. Because of Kadok, Saiga Khan of the Khergit Khanate was not in a hurry to attack, but waited quietly until the food in the city was gone, and then launched a general attack. Saiga Zihan sent people to surround Dehrim, and on the other hand, he set up an ambush on the road that King Yarogerk had to pass, waiting for King Yarogerk to arrive. Saiga Khan decided to wait and see, quietly waiting for Yarogerk to lead his tired army to attack him.
King Yarogerk quickly mobilized an army from his own country, and after a long journey, they arrived at Dehrim. It must have been a long expedition, and his army was exhausted when they arrived. They definitely needed to rest for a while before continuing to fight. However, considering Saiga Khan, he quietly waited in the path that King Yarogerk must pass, just to give King Yarogerk a severe blow.
这样一招围点打援，塞加可汗也觉得天衣无缝。只要在城市里面的卡多克不出任何变化，亚罗格尔克那所谓的援军说不定就会被自己所吞灭，库吉特汗国的骑兵在野战状态之下来去如风，维吉亚王国的军队偏向综合型，在数量相等的情况之下，库吉特汗国还是越占上风，所以塞加可汗对这一次埋伏觉得是天时地利人和都在自己这一方。
因此在这一片大陆之上，库吉特汗国进攻维吉亚王国的德赫瑞姆，诺德王国进攻维吉亚王国的骷髅，罗多克王国进攻诺德王国的苏诺，因此大陆上面的这四个国家互相征战，搅得大陆上面一团糟。而所谓鹬蚌相争渔翁得利，一直潜伏在大陆最南方的沙漠地区的萨兰德苏丹国，却好像一潭死水一般根本就不为之所动。萨兰德苏丹国在等待着一个合理的时机，他要一口吞并一个国家，绝对要等到一个国家最为疲惫之时。现在四个国家正在互相征战，还不是他们最疲惫的时候，等到他们的精锐全部都在征战过程当中损失掉的时候，萨兰德苏丹国的萨兰德马穆鲁克将会告诉他们什么才是最强大的重骑兵。
住在沙瑞兹的哈基姆苏丹看着自己眼前的这一位美人，她自己称为自己为法尔维娅，带着他自己的同伴来投奔自己。
虽然说在这一片大陆之上，也是有着将女性作为领主的先例，但是大多数的情况之下，都是那些男性贵族全部战死沙场，或者意外身亡的情况之下，那些家族当中的女性才会挺身而出继承家族当中的财产成为一方领主，统率自己的军队替国王作战。
而像这样直接封赏一名女性作为领主的，少之又少，大多数的国王做法都是并不先给予这样的女性一块封地，而是让他们自己通过战争而获得一块领地。
或许他自己也可以选择这样的一个办法，毕竟自己也不愿意开一个先例，哈基姆苏丹知道自己的威望并不够，国内的那些领主他可是镇不住的，要是自己就这样直接封赏给一位女性封地的话，指不定那些领主又会跳出来说三道四。所以说哈基姆苏丹决定先将这一个封地给搪塞过去，就一个法尔维娅在大陆上的名声也是响亮的很，最近一段时间活跃在自己的国家之内，萨兰德苏丹国各地人民都很欢迎他，这样的一个人如果出现在自己的王国内部，一呼百应，说不定会拉起一支强大的军队作为他的卫兵。而他成为自己的领主成为自己的手下成为自己的封臣，那么他的这一支武装势力就为自己所用，想着想着哈基姆苏丹还是决定让他成为自己的领主，但是暂时不给予他一块封地。
“法尔维娅小姐，我知道你是一个受人尊敬的年轻贵族，你有着显赫的家世，但是我还是不能给我坏了规矩，大陆上面将一名女性作为领主的国王少之又少，不如这样吧你成为我的领主，但是你的封地必须要通过自己来获得，你可以选择去攻取一座城堡，这样的话靠着你自己双手得来的城堡，我觉得那些男性绝对会闭上自己的嘴巴不会有任何的异议”哈基姆苏丹对着面前的法尔维娅说道，其实他也迫切的希望这样的人加入到自己的国家里面，但是不能为了他一个人就让整个国家的领主都跳出来闹腾。
“这个事情我自然是知道的，我清楚一个女人在大陆上面处于什么样的地位，就是不知道，萨兰德苏丹国何时会发动战争，这样的话就可以让我有机会去抢夺一座城堡作为我的封地。”法尔维娅根本就不在乎那一个小小的封闭，他知道初来乍到的那些小领主们，总是会得到一座村庄作为他们的封地，可是法尔维娅却根本就不稀罕这一个小小的村庄，他有着远大的志向，如同沃尔斯一般。
“哈哈哈哈。”哈基姆苏丹在听见了这样的一番话之后，顿时开怀大笑，对于前面的这一位美人，他突然来了一些兴趣，这个人不仅在自己的王国内部声望高超，而且还有这不小的野心。不在乎一座村庄的计较，而是想要夺取一座城堡。这样的人自己或许应该招募到自己的手下。
“这个你就不用担心了，过不了多久萨兰德苏丹国就会开始出征，你知道，现在大陆中心的四个国家正在互相攻战，我虽然处在大陆的最南方，但是我时时刻刻都在观察着大陆上面的其他国家的一举一动，一切都在我的掌控之中。我们就在这里静观其变。”哈基姆苏丹有恃无恐的说道，他就仿佛天上的一张大手牢牢的把这片天空给盖住了，只要他一伸手，地上的人们就会惊慌的四处逃窜。
法尔维娅在听见了这样的一句话的时候，会心一笑，美丽的面容使得在场的男人都是一阵呆滞，站在哈基姆苏丹的旁边同样是一位婀娜多姿的女人，她戴着面纱，如果是沃尔斯在这里的话，他就能够一眼认出这个女人到底是谁，毫无疑问这个女人是哈基姆苏丹的使者弗朗辛。
“那么我等候着您的调遣，即使没有封闭我也愿意向你效忠。”法尔维娅向哈基姆苏丹行了一礼，这是一种效忠礼，这样的一种效忠礼是像哈基姆苏丹表明了自己的想要的向他效忠的意思。
哈基姆苏丹自然是毫不客气就接收了反尔维亚的这一次效忠，他现在所要做的事情就是等候着时机开始发动进攻。罗多克王国是他的盟友，或者说是他的一枚棋子，因此哈基姆苏丹是暂时不会攻击罗多克王国，而唯一与它接壤的另外一个国家这是库吉特汗国，毫无疑问他准备要进攻的国家就是库吉特汗国。
视线重新回到苏诺这一座城市，在前不久诺德王国的大斧就把这一座城门给劈开了，现在罗多克王国的巨弩也要将这一座城门给轰开。可是现在的苏诺的陈总沃尔斯是绝对不会允许这样的情况发生，现在他要做做的事情就是静静地等待着援军的到来。
在苏诺的城堡大厅里面，沃尔斯正在和他的属下们召开会议，为的就是防备灾城墙外面的罗多克王国的军队。
“领主大人，正如你所看见的那样，我们的弓箭手远远比不上罗多克王国的弩手，因此我觉得我们很有必要在城市里面招募一些斯瓦迪亚弩手，虽然说这些弩手比不上罗多克王国的弩手，但是我相信在射程这一方面是可以和罗德克弩手一较高下的。”艾米瑞达首先上来就提出了自己的建议，他建议沃尔斯开始招募斯瓦迪亚王国弩手这样的一种兵种。
就一个办法沃尔斯他早就想到了，只是现在没有办法将这个计划得以实施，因为就算把斯瓦迪亚弩手给招募出来的话，还是没有机会打败外面的罗多克弩手，因为罗德克卢舍德经验在这群斯瓦迪亚鲁手指上，在前几次大战当中，斯瓦迪亚的王国的精锐部队全部丧失殆尽，斯瓦迪亚王国手也来不及得到补充，这些招募出来的斯瓦迪亚弩手都是一些新兵，如果说就拿这样的新兵和罗多克王国进行较量的话，最后的结果一定是战败而归，因此沃尔斯也不打算将斯瓦迪亚助手派到前线去送死。而且这样白白丧失了在苏诺的人心。
“不，我觉得还是继续坚守不出，不要和罗克鲁首正面较量，只有这样暂时稳住他们，等到援军到来的时候再里应外合将罗多克王国的军队杀的片甲不留。才是最好的那是最好的办法。”雷萨里特将自己的想法说出来，雷萨里特的这个想法很符合沃尔斯的心意。
沃尔斯没有说话只是点了点头，算是同意了雷萨里特的想法。艾米瑞达看见沃尔斯点点头也不好多说话，可就是在这个时刻，他似乎又想起了点什么。
“领主大人，我还是想起了点什么，您还记得您当初是什么攻破苏诺这一个城市的吗？”艾米瑞达故带神秘的说道。
沃尔斯沉思了一会儿，突然一个灵光就反应过来了，当初拉格纳国王为了攻破这一个城市，首先就派出了一些间谍潜入到这个城市里面，进行破坏，最后的关头准备里应外合。
那个现在这个时刻，自己坚守不出，爬罗多克王国的军队也不敢直接攀上城墙和自己的军队作战，那个使用间谍来一个里应外合这样的招式似乎就很说得通了。
“你这么一说我倒是也想起来，不错，艾米瑞达你确实是提醒了我一下。”沃尔斯点了点头算是肯定了艾米瑞达，雷萨里特看见这样也只恨自己为什么没有早一点想到，现在的情况和当初的情况也确实差不多。
The defenders were both small in number, while the attackers were large in number. If you think about it carefully, Hosbens and his men had the same hatred for the enemy and were determined to live and die with Suno. Now the Nord soldiers also had the same idea. They had a large number of reinforcements coming from all directions, so as long as he could hold on until the last moment, he would have a chance to survive. Maybe he could even counterattack and attack the Rhodok Kingdom.
Of course everyone wants such an opportunity. The Nords are naturally warlike and born warriors. How could they not want to have a good fight? Therefore, their morale is high.
