Although the Lord of Uxhall was very unwilling to lose a city in vain, he also knew that he could not defend the city without the help of the lords at home. Therefore, after looting Uxhall and taking away most of the wealth of the city, he returned to the territory that originally belonged to his country.

Amirida captured Uxhall without any effort, but this was not the time to celebrate. More and more enemy soldiers gathered in Viruga, which meant that Viruga was even more difficult to break.

As time went by, news of the call that Wals sent to the lords of the country came back. One after another, some lords who were far away from Wals also led their own troops to join the war. These lords brought some elite troops. Some lords admired Wals very much, so they brought out their best soldiers. But there were also some lords who were jealous of Wals, but for the sake of his wealth, they still brought out a considerable number of soldiers. After all, Wals's reputation for being a good fighter spread throughout the Nordic Kingdom, and they hoped to seize enough wealth in this war.

The first to arrive was Rudjar. As an upright lord, he treated Vols with fairness and justice, and the quantity and quality of the soldiers he brought were of utmost importance. Then Tuyajar, Idenjar, Iayajar, Reyekjar, Soltonjar, and some other lords arrived one after another. The empty Suno was immediately filled with Nord soldiers.

The last one to arrive was Hewitt. Wals didn't know that it was because of Hewitt that the number of his fiefs was reduced, so he still put on a hospitable appearance to receive Hewitt. This made Hewitt sneer in her heart. Even if Wals was very smart, he would never know his tricks against her.

On the one hand, the Nord Kingdom mobilized its troops to start a war with the Rhodok Kingdom. On the other hand, the Khergit Khanate was not to be outdone. The Sarand Sultanate had attacked them from behind. Halma was the first city to suffer. Soon after, the army continued to gather near Halma. It seemed that the next step of the war would be to attack Lana.

Saiga Khan transferred most of his troops to the Kingdom of Vaegir. At the same time, there were two thorns in the flesh in the Kingdom of Vaegir, Prince Vidim and Doluboye. Although Doluboye did not have a legitimate bloodline and could not become the king of the Kingdom of Vaegir, Prince Vidim was a big problem. Saiga Khan decided to deal with Prince Vidim in a peaceful way. At present, the Sarand Sultanate attacked his homeland and he could not lose more troops. Therefore, he left Nayan Toju here to guard against Prince Vidim.

He himself led the army back to the rear. Lana was already in danger. Although the Sarranid Sultanate had been away from the war for a long time, its economy was extremely developed, and the equipment and personnel quality were greatly improved. They had sufficient time to train elite soldiers. Therefore, the smaller Sarranid Sultanate was still able to defeat the Khergit Khanate.

But this does not mean that the Khergit Khanate has no ability to fight back. After all, the soldiers of the Khergit Khanate have actually been on the battlefield, and some of them have witnessed Kadok's ferocity.

The person who made Saiga Khan feel most at ease was naturally his subordinate Namartas.

In the city of Suno, the army has already assembled. From the beginning to the end, the gates of the city of Suno have never been closed. For Wals, he naturally hopes that his army will be more and more. The more lords gather, the more troops he can send in this battle. Wals welcomes the arrival of these lords with joy.

While counting the troops and arranging the next battle plan, Wals carefully analyzed the situation and felt that he should not give priority to sending troops to attack Viruga. If he fought head-on with the Rhodok Kingdom, the final result would be a lose-lose situation. In the war between the two sides, it is often the defender who has a greater advantage. After all, the attacker came from afar and would definitely lose combat effectiveness due to the long journey.

Moreover, since we are invading other countries, we are at a disadvantage in terms of legitimate reasons. Therefore, the people in the occupied areas will definitely rise up in resistance, which also increases the difficulty of the attack.

Now that Uxhall has been taken, there is still a crucial castle in the Rhodok Kingdom, which was originally part of the Swadian Kingdom, called Harengosberg.

This castle was originally the fief of Count Harengos of the Kingdom of Swadia, but now no one knows where Count Harengos has gone. Wals no longer cares about it. He thinks he should use a banner to let Rudjaar and Edenjaar lead some soldiers to pretend to attack Viruga, and then lead the elite troops to attack Harengosburg. Although nominally, it is required to drive the Rhodok people out of the Kingdom of Swadia, but in fact, Wals has decided to plan another attack route.

Malasburg, it stands on the mountains of the Rhodok Kingdom. It is an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack castle. Wals decided to send spies to find out the truth about this castle. If the castle has fewer soldiers defending it, Wals thinks that he should break through here at all costs. After all, although Viruga is on the plain map, there are many guards here, and it may be difficult to take it down in a short time. It is better to look for another breakthrough point. Although Malasburg has a difficult terrain, this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain will also make King Graves slack off.

Within a few days, Wals's spies had already gathered enough information for him. The defenders of Malasburg had only 200 people, while Wals's army had more than 3,000 people. This meant that he only needed to lead half of his troops to capture the castle. No matter how dangerous the castles along the way were, they could not be completely defended.

This military operation was carried out in extreme secrecy. The only people present were Wals, Rudjaar and Idenjaar. After giving instructions, Rudjaar and Idenjaar were used as the troops to feint at Viruga. The first step of the battle plan was to sneak attack the castles near Viruga. The castles near Viruga were not heavily guarded, and King Gryfus was determined to defend Viruga. As for those castles, they were all at his doorstep. After withstanding the attack of the Nord Kingdom, he could recapture these castles at any time.

Wals led 1,500 soldiers along the river from Uxhall to Harengosberg, first taking Harengosberg, then suddenly attacking Malasberg, and after taking the castle, he planned the next move.

Although the plan said so, Wals had his own plan. Although Idenyar and Rudyaar were both lords of the Nord Kingdom, they would naturally not take the initiative to reveal the combat plan this time. However, if the information was leaked unintentionally, it would be a fatal blow to this military operation. Therefore, Wals still had some plans that he had not told Idenyar and Rudyaar.

Idenjar and Rudjar were both lords with a long history in the Nord Kingdom. Although their current prestige was far inferior to that of Vols, they could still lead the younger generation of lords to conquer the battlefield. After receiving Vols's order, the two lords immediately led their own armies and some of the lords' armies to march south together, using Suno as their base. Idenjar and Rudjar began to send troops, using Uxhall as their settlement. The team of Swadian knights led by Amirida was also sent to join Rudjar and Idenjar.

The purpose of doing this was naturally to deceive King Graves. Everyone knew that the lance of the Swadian knights almost pierced Viruga. I believe that everyone in the Rhodok Kingdom has an inexplicable fear of the Swadian knights. Wals knew that sending all his Swadian knights to the Rujia Plain would definitely attract the attention of King Graves. In this way, he would relax his vigilance against the west, and he could unscrupulously capture the western territory.

In Viruga, Count Reland and Count Mateus stood beside King Graves.

"Your Majesty, most of the lords in the kingdom have already arrived at the battlefield. Viruga will be our first and last line of defense to protect the Kingdom of Rhodok."

Count Leland reported to King Griffith with confidence on his face, but King Griffith was a little angry.

"There are still some lords who did not heed my call and join this war. Those damn guys, if I have time, I will definitely deal with them."

Count Matthaas saw that King Griffus was angry and quickly advised: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. We are enough. The Swadian knights' spears failed to pierce Viruga, and we defeated them instead. The same will happen this time when the Nord Kingdom comes. We will defeat them. This place is surrounded by mountains and is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Although it is difficult for us to attack others, others will have to pay a price if they want to attack us."

King Gryphus was relieved after hearing this, and he immediately convened a meeting. The spies had already gathered enough intelligence for him, and Wals had divided his troops into two groups. It was said that the battle plan this time seemed to be to let Edenjar and Rudjar capture the castle near Viruga first, while Wals would give priority to taking Harengosburg.
