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. 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 Swaadian soldiers were injured, and Wals only coveted the knights of the Swaadian Kingdom. Most of the cavalry he recruited those who fought on horseback. As for the crossbowmen of the Swaadian Kingdom, Wals did not recruit too many. 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. 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. 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.
Saiga Khan also felt that this tactic of besieging a point and attacking reinforcements was perfect. As long as Kadok in the city did not change, Yarogerk's so-called reinforcements might be swallowed up by him. The cavalry of the Khergit Khanate moved like the wind in the field, and the army of the Kingdom of Vigia was more comprehensive. Under the condition of equal numbers, the Khergit Khanate still had the upper hand, so Saiga Khan felt that this ambush was a good opportunity for him.
Therefore, on this continent, the Khergit Khanate attacked Dehrim of the Vaegir Kingdom, the Nord Kingdom attacked Skeleton of the Vaegir Kingdom, and the Rhodok Kingdom attacked Suno of the Nord Kingdom. Therefore, the four countries on the continent fought against each other, making the continent a mess. As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains. The Sarand Sultanate, which has been lurking in the desert area in the southernmost part of the continent, seems to be unmoved by it. The Sarand Sultanate is waiting for a reasonable opportunity. If it wants to annex a country in one go, it must wait until a country is most exhausted. Now the four countries are fighting each other, but it is not their most exhausted time. When all their elites are lost in the process of fighting, the Sarand Mamluk of the Sarand Sultanate will tell them what the most powerful heavy cavalry is.
Sultan Hakim, who lived in Shariz, looked at the beauty before him. She called herself Falvia and came to him with her companions.
Although there are precedents of women serving as lords on this continent, in most cases, it is when all the male nobles died on the battlefield or died accidentally that the women in the family will step forward to inherit the family property and become lords, commanding their own armies to fight for the king.
There were very few cases where a woman was directly awarded the title of lord. Most kings did not first grant such women a fiefdom, but allowed them to obtain a territory through war themselves.
Perhaps he could choose such a method. After all, he did not want to set a precedent. Hakim Sultan knew that his prestige was not enough. He could not control the lords in the country. If he directly awarded a female fief, those lords might come out and say something. So Hakim Sultan decided to prevaricate this fief first. Falvia was also very famous on the mainland. She had been active in her own country recently. People from all over the Sarand Sultanate welcomed her. If such a person appeared in his own kingdom, he would be able to attract a lot of people and might even raise a powerful army as his guards. If he became his lord, his subordinate, and his vassal, then his armed forces would be used by him. Thinking about it, Hakim Sultan decided to make him his lord, but not give him a fief for the time being.
"Miss Falvia, I know you are a respected young noble with a distinguished family background, but you still cannot break the rules for me. There are very few kings on the continent who have a female as a lord. How about this: you become my lord, but you must obtain your fiefdom by yourself. You can choose to capture a castle. In this way, I think those men will definitely shut their mouths and will not have any objections to the castle you get with your own hands," Sultan Hakim said to Falvia in front of him. In fact, he also urgently hoped that such a person would join his country, but he could not let the lords of the entire country jump out and make trouble just for him.
"Of course I know about this. I know clearly what position a woman holds on the continent. I just don't know when the Sarand Sultanate will start a war. This will give me the opportunity to seize a castle as my fiefdom." Falvia didn't care about that small enclosed place at all. He knew that the small lords who had just arrived would always get a village as their fiefdom, but Falvia didn't care about this small village at all. He had lofty ambitions, just like Wals.
"Hahahaha." Sultan Hakim burst into laughter after hearing these words. He suddenly became interested in the beauty in front of him. This person not only had a high reputation in his kingdom, but also had great ambitions. He didn't care about a village, but wanted to seize a castle. Perhaps he should recruit such a person as his own.
"You don't have to worry about this. The Sarand Sultanate will start its expedition soon. You know, the four countries in the center of the continent are now fighting each other. Although I am in the southernmost part of the continent, I am always observing the actions of other countries on the continent. Everything is under my control. We just wait and see what happens here." Sultan Hakim said fearlessly. He was like a big hand in the sky covering the sky tightly. As long as he stretched out his hand, the people on the ground would flee in panic.
When Falvia heard these words, she smiled knowingly. Her beautiful face made all the men present stunned. Standing next to Sultan Hakim was also a graceful woman wearing a veil. If Wals were here, he would be able to recognize who this woman was at a glance. There was no doubt that this woman was Francine, the messenger of Sultan Hakim.
"Then I am waiting for your dispatch. Even if there is no closure, I am willing to be loyal to you." Falvia saluted Hakim Sultan. This was a salute of allegiance. Such a salute of allegiance was to show Hakim Sultan her desire to be loyal to him.
Sultan Hakim naturally accepted Anti-Sylvia's loyalty without hesitation. All he had to do now was wait for the right time to launch an attack. The Rhodok Kingdom was his ally, or a chess piece, so Sultan Hakim would not attack the Rhodok Kingdom for the time being. The only other country bordering it was the Khergit Khanate, and there was no doubt that the country he was going to attack was the Khergit Khanate.
The sight returned to the city of Suno. Not long ago, the Nord Kingdom's axe split the city gate, and now the Rhodok Kingdom's crossbow is also going to blow it open. But Suno's current general Chen Wals will never allow this to happen. What he has to do now is to quietly wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
In the castle hall of Suno, Wals was holding a meeting with his subordinates to prepare for the disaster against the army of the Rhodok Kingdom outside the city walls.
"My lord, as you can see, our archers are far inferior to the crossbowmen of the Rhodok Kingdom. Therefore, I think it is necessary for us to recruit some Swadian crossbowmen in the city. Although these crossbowmen are not as good as those of the Rhodok Kingdom, I believe they can compete with them in terms of range." Amirida was the first to put forward his suggestion. He suggested that Wals start recruiting Swadian crossbowmen.
Wals had thought of a way long ago, but there was no way to implement this plan now, because even if the Swadian crossbowmen were recruited, there was still no chance to defeat the Rhodok crossbowmen outside, because the experience of Rodklushed was in the fingers of these Swadian crossbowmen. In the previous wars, the elite troops of the Kingdom of Swadia were all lost, and the Swadian Kingdom had no time to be replenished. These recruited Swadian crossbowmen were all new recruits. If such new recruits were used to compete with the Rhodok Kingdom, the final result would definitely be a defeat. Therefore, Wals did not intend to send Swadian assistants to the front line to die. And this would lose the hearts of the people in Suno in vain.
"No, I think we should continue to hold our ground and not engage in a head-on confrontation with Lord Rockru. Only in this way can we stabilize them temporarily, and when reinforcements arrive, we can work together inside and outside to kill the Rhodok Kingdom's army without leaving a single piece of armor. This is the best way." Resarit expressed his thoughts, and this idea of Resarit was in line with Wals's wishes.
Wals nodded without saying anything, agreeing with Resarit's idea. Emilida saw Wals nodded and didn't say much, but at this moment, he seemed to remember something.
"My Lord, I remember something. Do you still remember how you conquered the city of Suno?" Emilida said mysteriously.
Wals pondered for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. In order to capture this city, King Ragnar first sent some spies to sneak into the city to carry out sabotage, and then prepared to cooperate with the outside at the last moment.
At this moment, if they were to hold their ground and not go out, and the Rhodok Kingdom's army did not dare to climb the city wall directly to fight against their own army, it seemed reasonable to use spies to coordinate the attack from both inside and outside.
"Now that you mention it, I remember it. Yes, Amirida, you did remind me." Wals nodded to affirm Amirida. Seeing this, Lesarit hated himself for not thinking of it earlier. The current situation is indeed similar to the original situation.
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.
