Therefore, Rudyar immediately made plans and sent some soldiers to temporarily arrange them on the castle wall. Then another group of soldiers followed her and pushed sideways, and also quietly informed her of her driving trajectory. Fortunately, King Yarogerk did not besiege the castle due to time constraints. Therefore, for Ismorola Castle, there is now a chance to escape from the castle.
Maltas climbed up the city wall first. The Wolf Blackfang in his hand moved as fast as the wind. Rows of Nordic soldiers were killed by him. Soldiers from the Kingdom of Vaegir also began to climb up the city wall in large numbers. This castle was about to be captured by the Kingdom of Vaegir.
King Yarogerk, who was watching the battle below the city wall, was filled with joy at this moment. His army was unstoppable, which naturally made the commander-in-chief of the army happy.
"Everyone, what do you think of Maltas's fighting ability? As for me, I think he is more powerful than Kadoc."
This was King Yarogelk's support. Logically, there were some sober-minded lords who could remind King Yarogelk, but they didn't want to disturb the king's interest. Besides, the castle was about to be breached, and they didn't want to say a few words to ruin the mood of these people. Therefore, all the lords present echoed King Yarogelk's words.
This resulted in King Yarogerk being kept in the dark from beginning to end. Logically, a powerful figure like Maltas should be firmly under his control, but now it seems that Maltas's loyalty is still an unknown.
Rudjaar has led his army back into Nordic territory, despite losing some of his strength to resist the Vaegir army.
The pursuers behind him were gone, but a flag appeared in front of Rudyaer, and under the flag was a huge army.
After seeing this huge army, Rudyaar did not panic. This was already the territory of the Nord Kingdom. No matter what, the army here was all from the Nord Kingdom. The army in front of him should be led by a lord within the kingdom.
Sure enough, when a flag got closer and closer to him, Rudyaer saw clearly what the flag looked like.
It was a white unicorn, and the only lord in this country who had such a flag was Wals.
It looks like our reinforcements have arrived.
Rudyaar thought so in his heart.
But I have already retreated, so what is the point of sending a large army like this?
"Rudyar, are you okay?"
Just as Rudyar was thinking, Wals rode his fast horse in front of Rudyar.
"I am not seriously injured, but the army I led suffered some losses. King Ragnar asked me to retreat and directly asked me to abandon the Ismorola Castle. I am very confused about this decision, but I can't do anything about it. After all, this is King Ragnar's order."
Wals stood alone in front of Rudyaar, and behind him there was a group of soldiers slowly marching towards here.
"King Ragnar will not let us speculate on his intentions, but this is a very wise move and can help us recover some losses. As long as our army is still in our hands, it is only a matter of time before we can capture this castle again. Rudyaar, you should follow me and wait and see. When something happens in the Kingdom of Vaegir, we will take the opportunity to attack the Kingdom of Vaegir."
Inside the castle of Ismorola, everyone was preparing for a celebration banquet. The protagonist of this siege was Maltas. He was the first to climb the city wall and killed all the enemies. After the soldiers of the Nord Kingdom saw Maltas, they all ran away.
The credit for this war should be attributed to Maltas to a large extent. If this castle were to be awarded to Maltas, then none of the lords present would object.
However, just as the celebration banquet was being prepared, a piece of bad news reached the ears of the lords present.
That was the news brought by a messenger, who knelt down in front of Yarogelk. At this moment, all the lords present were inside the castle hall, and King Yarogelk was sitting in the seat that belonged to the lords.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. Zhivadin has been captured by the enemy."
These words shocked everyone.
"What happened? Tell me from the beginning."
King Yarogerk stood up directly from his seat. Zhivadin was his own city. It was his fiefdom and his foundation. If there was any mistake, it would be disastrous.
For a king who has lost his fiefdom, King Yarogerk naturally understands what this means. When the time comes, the number of his fiefdoms will decrease, resulting in insufficient financial resources, and he will definitely reduce the number of his troops. Once the number of troops is reduced, the group of lords under his command will surely become restless.
Therefore, King Yarogerk was very anxious.
"It was Count Degran and Doluboye. They led their army into the city of Zhivadin. The defenders of Zhivadin thought they were their own people, so they let them in without any precautions. But this was simply inviting a wolf into the house. As soon as they entered the city, the army they led immediately massacred the defenders inside the city, and soon they occupied Zhivadin."
"How dare they rebel!!!"
As soon as the messenger finished speaking, King Yarogerk lost his temper because he heard that there were two traitors. Moreover, the city they attacked was actually his fiefdom. They were really bold.
"What is going on? Tell me why the two of them rebelled and what reasons they used to attack us."
King Yarogelk asked the messenger. This is a crucial question. If a person wants to rebel, there must be a motive for such a major event. It would be ridiculous if he rebelled for no reason. If he wanted to be a king, the people on the continent would not agree. After all, to become a king, one must be noble. let them establish themselves as kings. The bloodline was there, and no one could break it.
"They say that Prince Vidim is the legitimate ruler of the Kingdom of Vaegir."
"So, they made Prince Vidim the king. This is really heartbreaking."
As soon as King Yarogerk heard about Prince Vidim, he knew what these two guys were going to do.
"Everyone, obey my command. Gather the troops and go back to destroy these rebels."
Now that King Yarok had Maltas, he was no longer afraid of anyone, not even Kadoc.
Originally, this action was normal, but in this time period, it was extremely inappropriate. After all, the castle had just been recaptured, and he had already led his main troops to escape, which meant that most of his troops had not been completely wiped out, and it was very likely that they would launch a sneak attack while he was away.
"Fox King Lixia, you have to think carefully. Are you going to take the entire army back like this? The Nord Kingdom will definitely be left with a castle in its rear defense. In this case, what is the meaning of every progress this time?"
The person who said this was Voldratboye. He was also thinking about the country. He planned to attack this castle and then, as King Yarogerk had requested, not to attack again. If the war continued to drag on, it would only do harm.
King Yarogerk was so angry that he could not listen to what Voldratboye said.
"Nonsense! The Nord Kingdom's army has been frightened out of their wits. How dare they come back and fight us?"
Maltas knew that his chance to show himself had come. He could seize the command of the army of the Kingdom of Vaegir now, and then he could lead his army to fight a fierce battle with Prince Vidim's army. He wanted to intensify the civil war in the Kingdom of Vaegir, and then the Khergit Khanate would reap the benefits.
"Your Majesty, I think what Voldratboye said makes sense. The Kingdom of Nord is now eyeing us covetously, and we absolutely cannot leave no garrison here to help. How about this, how about this, I will personally lead a thousand soldiers to fight Prince Vidim, and you stay here to fight against the Kingdom of Nord."
Maltas was a favorite in the eyes of King Yarogerk, and King Yarogerk would listen to his words. Therefore, when Maltas said this, he immediately got the agreement of most of the lords present.
"In that case, do as you say. Voldratboye, you were also born with Maltas. This time you must capture the only prince, Count Daiglana, and Doluboye for me. I will throw them into the deepest and most disgusting cell and torture them severely."
"Of course, your majesty, I will never let you down and will definitely capture them for you to torture."
Maltas was secretly delighted. The plan was halfway successful. Now it was time for him to perform. As for whether King Yarogerk could defend the castle, it was no longer important. Losing a castle was nothing. Even if the castle was attacked by the Nord Kingdom again, Maltas would not feel any regret.
Perhaps King Yarogerk should be allowed to block the Nordic Kingdom. After all, Maltas is from the Khergit Khanate, and he naturally wants to maximize the interests of the Khergit Khanate.
As for joining forces with the Nord Kingdom, this was not part of Maltas' plan, because he felt that his own plan was perfect and he didn't need anyone's help at all.
Maltas evacuated Fort Ismorula as originally planned.
Now Maltas can finally start to show his skills. For a man like Maltas, he now has a huge plan to maintain and consume the national strength of the entire Kingdom of Vigia.
At the same time, the spies stationed in Fort Ismorola also learned that Maltas had left Fort Ismorola.
Therefore, this spy returned to the Nordic army as quickly as possible and reported this information to his superior Rudyaar.
In the army of the Nord Kingdom, this time Rudjaar did not return to his territory, but began to discuss with Wals how to recapture the Castle of Ismorola.
"It seems that Mr. Wals has predicted that all this is under Walsney's control. Maltas has already led an army out of Fort Ismorola."
In the military camp, Rudyaar excitedly told Wals that all this was exactly as Wals had expected. Wals asked Rudyaar to wait and see, just to wait for the opportunity to deal a fatal blow to King Yarogelk.
"However, I still find it strange. How do you know about the changes within the Kingdom of Vijia?"
Walls picked up a glass of wine and took a sip.
"It's very simple, because that Maltas is not a native resident of the Kingdom of Vaegir. He comes from the grasslands of the Khergit Khanate, which means he is a real Khergit. I have investigated his background in detail. Although there are only some vague and fragmentary fragments, it still does not hinder my speculation. This Khergit will probably not be loyal to the Kingdom of Vaegir."
"I see."
Rudyaar seemed to understand something.
"Then, I sent someone to inquire about why a man joined the Kingdom of Vaegir. The answer I got was very surprising. This guy was not valued by Khan Saiga, so he defected to the Kingdom of Vaegir to serve King Yarogerk. There are sufficient reasons for all this. Based on these doubts, I can judge that Maltas is not really working for the Kingdom of Vaegir."
"Mr. Walls is a real genius."
Rudyaar admired Wals. Unlike other lords, Rudyaar was not jealous of such a talented young man as Wals. Instead, he looked at Wals with admiration. As long as there was such a group of young people joining his country, the country would still prosper after his death.
There is no doubt that Rudyard was an upright lord, and Walls also admired Rudyard's integrity.
"So, Mr. Walls, what should we do next?"
Originally, Rudyaar was supposed to command the entire army, but now Rudyaar seems to be obedient to Wals and has completely handed over the command of his army to Wals. In fact, King Ragnar sent Wals to the front line to support Rudyaar in order to help Rudyaar make plans and defend the Castle of Ismorola well.
"According to the current situation, we should wait for a day. When Maltas can no longer turn around and attack us when we attack Fort Ismorula, we can send troops to attack Fort Ismorula. As long as Maltas does not lead his army back to reinforce Fort Ismorula, we may be able to capture this castle in a short time. King Yarogerk has been blinded by victory, and he is no longer the shrewd and calculating person he used to be."
Wals's analysis made sense, and Rudyar also agreed with Wals's last point. From the fight between Rudyar and King Yarogelk, it could be seen the vanity in King Yarogelk's heart. He was now simply an old man who was blinded by victory.
While they were planning how to capture the Ismorola Castle, Doluboye and Count Deiglana in Zhivadin were also actively defending Zhivadin. They knew that the news of the fall of Zhivadin would quickly reach the ears of King Yarogelk, so they had to step up their defense without delay. Perhaps tomorrow King Yarogelk's army would appear in front of Zhivadin.
Kadok was lying on the city wall bored, watching the busy soldiers. This time he followed his father to rebel against King Yarok. He had no fear in his heart. Holding the evil sword Tyrant Blood in his hand, only others were afraid of him but he had never been afraid of others. The blood-red giant sword could support him to win every battle. As for the failure at that time, Kadok must use his evil sword Tyrant Blood to personally chop off Maltas' head.
Sure enough, when the sun appeared in front of everyone the next day, an army of the Kingdom of Vigia appeared in front of Count Daeglana. This time, Maltas ordered his army to advance at full speed in order to quickly recapture Zhivadi. On the one hand, this was to show his loyalty to King Yarogelk. After all, for Maltas, he had to win the battle before losing it. Winning the battle was to win the trust of King Yarogelk, and losing the battle was naturally to make the Kingdom of Vigia collapse.
At this moment, Maltas decided to fight a defeat, but it had to be a perfect defeat so that King Yarogerk would not be able to ridicule him. He had to lose the battle and still be able to gain King Yarogerk's trust.
It would be difficult to do so, but now, Maltas pretended to be eager to recapture Zhivadin for his lord, which showed his loyalty to King Yarogelk.
This group of soldiers from the Kingdom of Vigia are now exhausted. They followed Maltas and traveled all night in order to quickly recapture Zhivadin.
Voldratboye obviously saw that his troops were now exhausted, so he turned his horse towards Maltas.
"Mr. Maltas, as you can see, our troops are exhausted. They have been following you all night. Now they are not in a state to win a battle. We should let our soldiers rest. At least we should wait until tomorrow to launch the attack."
Voldratboye considered everything for the country. His rich combat experience told him that he should now lead his troops to have a good rest.
Maltas naturally would not pretend to be an outsider, because Voldratboye was still deeply trusted by King Yarogelk.
If he revealed any flaws in his defeat, Voldratboye would definitely report it to King Yarogerk, and he would be in big trouble. Therefore, Maltas decided to pretend to agree with Voldratboye first.
However, Maltas had already made a plan in his mind. He wanted to leave a big gap in his camp configuration. If there was a problem with his camp configuration, the two shrewd guys on the wall, one was Count Daiglana and the other was Doluboye. They were both veterans of the battlefield. If they saw that there was a flaw in his camp and the camp layout was flawed, they would secretly lead their elite troops to attack his camp at night. In this way, the Kingdom of Vigia would lose a lot of troops. And they could also frame Voldratboye.
Putting the blame on Voldratboye for the successful sneak attack by the enemy at night can not only reduce the number of troops in the Kingdom of Vigia, but also reduce Voldratboye's status in the eyes of King Yarogerk. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Okay, Voldratboye, I agree with you. Let's set up camp here. We have to surround Zhivadin tightly."
When Voldratboye saw that Maltas had agreed to his plan, he left with satisfaction, but what he didn't know was that Maltas was planning a conspiracy against him.
Speaking of other lords of the Kingdom of Vaegir, their prestige is far less than that of Voldrat Boyego. The prestige of those old lords of the Kingdom of Vaegir is much higher than that of the younger generation of lords. Only by overthrowing them and making Maltas the first favorite of the Kingdom of Vaegir and a favorite in the eyes of King Yarogerk, can he control the power of the entire country.
Matas was a man who was extremely good at using strategic plans. He was extremely proficient in deploying troops and setting up camps. This also meant that when a person knew how to do something, he would know where the flaws were. The command of the entire army was in the hands of Matas, so he specifically told Voldratboye to set up the camp by himself. This made Voldratboye a little flattered. He didn't understand why he had to set up the camp himself.
The purpose of doing this is naturally to make King Yarogelk suspicious of Voldratboye's abilities.
