Walls did not answer the Nord soldiers' questions. He had already guessed that King Ragnar would never treat him fairly at this banquet, and he would never get a share of the territory of the Kingdom of Rhodok. This would weaken his strength in disguise. It would be better for him to lead the Nord soldiers in the Kingdom of Rhodok and declare himself king!
This seemed like an inexplicable touch, and the touch came from Lorimer.
"Make yourself king!"
This was a suggestion offered by Lorimer. Wals had never expected that in this continent, the rule of counting people by bloodline was used. Now a small, declining nobleman like him actually wanted to declare himself king. This was totally untenable in terms of bloodline. He had gained power without any legitimacy, and now he wanted to establish a country on his own. How could this be possible?
However, Walls always believed what Lorimer said, and at this moment he knew what he should do.
The Nord lords who went to pursue took a shortcut to the Rhodok Kingdom. Along the way, they did not hear any news of the Vols army's advance. Instead, they found a group of people at the border of the Nord Kingdom. Needless to say, the Nord lords immediately understood what was going to happen.
Therefore, a large number of Nord lords chose to return in different ways, wanting to pursue Vols. At this time, the lords on the way to the banquet also received news that they were loyal to King Ragnar. Under King Ragnar's order, a troop that was heading to Sagos to attend the banquet just ran into Vols. He took the initiative to attack Wurt.
He is Reyek Yar.
Reyekjar was a troop that returned from the battlefield where the Nord Kingdom conquered the Rhodok Kingdom. He had once followed Vols to conquer the Rhodok Kingdom.
But now, because of King Ragnar's order, Rejekjar has become the enemy of the Vols.
Looking at the flag that appeared in front of him, Wals knew that the people coming were Reyekjar's troops. On the plain where dense grass grew, rows and rows of Nord soldiers held high their shields and gathered into battle formations.
They are soldiers who returned from the battlefield and have rich combat experience. The old, weak, sick and disabled have been baptized by the battlefield and have been eliminated. The remaining ones are a group of elite soldiers.
As the battle array was deployed, a Nord riding a heavy warhorse and wearing armor walked out from the array of soldiers. The sunlight reflected on his armor, reflecting a special luster. This armor had not been repaired yet, because there were many scratches on it, which could be seen that these were gaps caused by attacks from various weapons.
This person is none other than Reyekjaar.
Wals insisted and went to the battlefield alone. His army had already formed up in battle formation. This was the elite force he led. In terms of forming up the battle formation, it must be much faster than other armies.
When the two met on the battlefield, Reyekjar first took off his helmet, revealing a weather-beaten face. When conquering the Rhodok Kingdom, he was a brave man.
"Wols! I can't believe that a brave and warlike man like you would actually commit treason! Now follow me and confess your crime before King Ragnar. Maybe the king will forgive you if he is pleased. If not, I will use my military force to capture you alive. Although your army is much stronger than mine, you are facing the entire Nordic Kingdom. All the lords in the country will capture you. And I represent the Nordic Kingdom. If you attack my army, it means you are against the entire Nordic Kingdom. Kingdom, and you will not be forgiven by King Ragnar. Do you know how I deal with traitors? I will dig out their internal organs like a fish. As for King Ragnar, I don't know how he punishes those traitors."
Reyekjaer had a solemn expression, his legs were actually shaking, because what was happening in front of him was the incompetent Wals, so he felt a little psychological pressure. He tried hard to control his emotions and keep himself from panicking.
Wals's expression did not change at all. He sat on his warhorse, staring at Reyekyal, and did not speak for a long time, until Reyekyal's eyes showed a hint of fear.
"I won't go with you obediently! If you insist on catching me, let's fight."
What Walls said made Reyekjaer unable to calm down. The expression on his face was as if the sky had fallen, an indescribable strange expression.
"You! You're going to regret this!"
Reyekjar quickly turned his horse around and returned to his own camp. The next moment, he commanded his soldiers to charge towards Vols' army. Reyekjar also knew that if he was afraid of fighting now, it would be a disgrace to the entire Nordic Kingdom. If he said that he did not have the courage to fight Vols, King Ragnar would definitely punish him. Vols had a mocking smile on his face. He stayed where he was. Behind him was a row of Nordic soldiers who were ready to charge. He turned around and looked at the group of Nordic soldiers behind him. Among them was a Swadian knight.
The news of Wals' treason was like a bolt from the blue to the Nord soldiers. When Reyekjaar was speaking just now, he had been saying that Wals was guilty. Such news was like a bolt from the blue.
As for the Swadian knights, they had no feelings at all. It didn't matter to them whether Vols was a traitor or not. They were loyal to Vols, not King Ragnar.
"My soldiers! Ragnar has judged me guilty because I am too powerful and good looking. He is worried that my power will threaten his rule! Now they want to capture our tribe. Because you followed me, Ragnar is worried that you will take revenge on him. Now King Ragnar has become my enemy. I want to know! Who are you willing to follow?"
Wals said loudly to his soldiers. It was very important for him to get the support of the soldiers. After all, the enemy was right in front of him. No matter how strong he was, he could not defeat a full-strength army. The enemy had more than a hundred soldiers, and his number was several times that of them. However, as long as the hearts of the Nord soldiers could be united, it would be easy to defeat Reyekyar.
All the Nord soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment! But at this moment, one man stood up and rushed towards the group of Reyekjar soldiers alone.
Which one is Jack!
There was one person taking the lead, and the rest of the group rushed out together.
When Reyekyal saw this, she immediately became furious. She remembered the face of the first leader clearly, and she also knew who this person was. He was a general under Walls, and this person was called Jack.
All the direct troops led by Wals were mobilized. Their number was several times that of Reyekyal's troops. In addition, the quality of Wals' soldiers was far superior to Reyekyal's, which made Reyekyal even more unbearable.
Before Rejekjaar's soldiers rushed to Vols, the Swaadian knight took a step ahead and stabbed out with his lance violently, sweeping through like a hurricane. Row after row of Nord soldiers fell down. Rejekjaar knew that he was finished. Ragnar would be furious and punish him. This was not what Rejekjaar thought of.
The defeat was like a landslide. As soon as the Nord soldiers of Vols and Rejekjaar clashed, Rejekjaar's soldiers were defeated and had no choice but to flee.
"God of War! God of War!"
Reyekyal's soldiers shouted as they ran. They already thought that Wals was invincible. They had this idea when they attacked Wals. Now when all the Nord soldiers rushed over to fight them, they already knew that their doomsday had come.
As for Rejekjar, he had already run away, with only a few Nord light cavalrymen as his guards. If someone caught up with him now, they would definitely be able to capture him alive. The Swadian knights weaved in and out of Rejekjar's soldiers, and the Nord Royal Warriors swung their axes fiercely. Soon, all the enemy soldiers either ran away or died. The battlefield was in a mess, with broken limbs and debris everywhere. In comparison, the casualties of Vols' army were few and far between.
There was a dense forest ahead, and at the end of the distance was the territory of the Kingdom of Rhodok. This territory, which was recently conquered by the Kingdom of Nord, was now in the hands of Vols. The battle with Rejekjaar lasted only a short while. Vols did not capture Rejekjaar alive, and he had already fled north with his tail between his legs. He delivered a great news to his king.
Sagos.
"Your Majesty! The war has already begun! Wals actually openly resisted my arrest. My troops have been annihilated. I hope Your Majesty can quickly capture this traitor to maintain the dignity of the Nordic Kingdom!"
Reyekjar ran to King Ragnar with a gloomy face and told him his news. King Ragnar had expected this news. The quality of the Vols army far exceeded that of any lord's army in the Nord Kingdom. Therefore, it was not certain that any lord's army could defeat Vols alone.
Her pair of eyes filled with frost looked at Reyekjaer. Reyekjaer raised his head after he finished speaking. At this moment, he happened to see King Ragnar's pair of cold eyes, and Reyekjaer shuddered.
"Reyekyal, I know, I know it completely. You can retreat now. Just wait a little longer until our army gathers a large force. With the number of our troops, we can completely crush Wals!"
Reyekjar retreated tremblingly. At this time, only a few elder lords were left in the castle hall. King Ragnar waved his hand and asked them to leave for the time being. Therefore, in the end, King Ragnar was the only one in the castle hall. But at this time, in this empty and silent hall, a hunched back silently walked out.
"King Ragnar! You are too hasty to act. Vols has already returned to his territory. I don't need to say more. He must be actively defending against our attack. He owns the newly conquered land of the Rhodok Kingdom. So whether we defeat Vols or not, it will hinder our complete conquest of this land. Perhaps when our country is in a civil war, the Rhodok Kingdom will quietly revive!"
Peters opened his mouth, and his old voice sounded a little weak. King Ragnar knew that he was sick.
Peters coughed a few more times, not on purpose, but because the illness in his body spread to her body.
"Your Majesty! I feel that I don't have much time left. You may have to rely on yourself to maintain the overall situation in the days to come. As for Wals, I think he should be allowed to return to the Kingdom of Nord and all his previous crimes should be revoked.
Peters was about to continue speaking, but King Ragnar interrupted him in an instant.
"no!"
King Ragnar was almost hysterical. To him, anyone who dared to betray him would have to pay the corresponding price. King Ragnar would never be merciful to Walls, who was a thorn in his side.
It is a great irony that the king and his subject, who were originally a good pair, have now become enemies who hate each other.
Peters knew that he could not continue speaking. King Ragnar was now very sensitive to the topic of special things. He sighed, and his originally old face looked even older.
"What do you think of Hewitt?"
Peters was not confused. He knew everything about what those people in the territory kingdom did. Peters also knew that Hewitt went to see King Ragnar.
"This guy has much less talent than Wall, but his ambition is greater than Wall."
King Ragnar's anger had calmed down a bit at this point, after all, he had already changed the topic from Walls to Hewitt.
"Be careful with this guy, there's more to him than meets the eye."
This was Peters' last advice to King Ragnar. As soon as he finished speaking, Peters slowly turned around and walked forward weakly, step by step, with a faint sadness emanating from his cloudy eyes.
I'm afraid the Nord Kingdom is doomed!
On the next day, King Ragnar ordered the First Prize to serve as marshal and lead the lords of the Nordic Kingdom to march southward. The south was the territory that originally belonged to the Rhodok Kingdom, which had been destroyed by Wals at this time, and all the territories were controlled by Wals.
After Wals conquered Viruga, he stationed part of his troops inside Viruga, while Jelkara was conquered by the soldiers of Idenjar and Rudjar. However, when the cities were handed over, the soldiers stationed there were still responsible for Wals' soldiers, because it was recognized by everyone that Wals' soldiers were the best in the Nord Kingdom, and it was perfect for him to guard this turbulent city.
As for Aaron, this city had been conquered by Wals long ago. There were only a few defenders left in the city, and the old, weak, sick and disabled troops left were also wiped out by Wals's troops. Therefore, Wals did not forcibly attack the city, and the people in this city could only let go of their hatred and choose to surrender.
Idenjar led the army of the Kingdom of Nord and continued to advance southward. Along the way, lords from all over the country gathered here. There is no doubt that this war will be extremely fierce. The Kingdom of Nord has assembled a total of about 3,000 troops. King Ragnar also sent some of his troops to be commanded by Idenjar.
Farrington and Nisbet, known as the Wild Axe, were also among them. Although King Ragnar did not lead the army in person, it was enough to have these two generals join the expedition.
This mighty army marched directly to the territory of Wals. Many Nord soldiers were forced to participate in this war unwillingly. They all had their own ideas, but most people thought that Wals was invincible. For these soldiers, Wals was strong, and many people did not believe that Wals took the initiative to rebel. Some people said that it was because Hewitt spoke ill of Wals in front of King Ragnar that Wals committed treason. Therefore, many Nord soldiers put the source of hatred on Hewitt, but due to Hewitt's noble status, these cowardly soldiers did not do much to Hewitt.
Wals, who was far away in the south, had already marched back to his own territory, Viruga. This territory originally belonged to the Kingdom of Rhodok. After being conquered by Wals, Wals began to strengthen the walls of Viruga. There is no doubt that Wals was planning to abandon the city of Suno. The best way to resist the attack of the Nordic Kingdom was to use the defense of the mountains.
Idenyar first led his army eastward. Within the territory that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Vigia, there were several castles that belonged to Vols. Since these castles belonged to Vols and were the closest to Sagos, it was natural that these castles should be the first targets of attack.
Wals did not pay much attention to these castles. He had focused most of his energy on the southern expedition in recent times and did not manage these castles too much. Therefore, most of the soldiers here did not have enough trust in Wals. When Edenyar led his army to the bottom of these castles, the defenders chose to surrender without exception.
Idenyar took these castles without any effort, and his self-confidence was greatly satisfied. Of course, there was still a trace of clarity in his mind. The defenders in these castles had no relationship with Wals, and all the subordinates who were truly loyal to Wals were in the territory of the Rhodok Kingdom.
He followed Wals to conquer the Rhodok Kingdom and knew the situation of Wals's garrison here very well. After all, Wals only had two veteran lords, Idenyar and Rudyar, by his side, and they had eyes for everything. Now he and Rudyar were in the same camp, so he was very familiar with the situation of Wals' army.
However, Idenyar had already thought that since he said he understood his army, then Wals must also understand his army.
When the Nord army led by Idenjar was marching across the plains of the Kingdom of Swadia, he was thinking about how to defeat the Vols.
He was thinking about how to defeat Wals, and he did not fully observe the situation of the soldiers he led. Most of these soldiers had made great contributions in the process of conquering the Rhodok Kingdom. They all longed to return to their hometown temporarily after the war. But now that things had changed like this, their extremely war-weary mentality was fully exposed at this time.
Originally, Walls had become their spiritual pillar, but now this spiritual pillar is gone and has instead become their enemy. How could this not make the Nord soldiers feel helpless and frustrated?
But Rudyaar, who was beside Idenyar, noticed such a problem. Rudyaar was an upright lord. He would treat everyone fairly. He knew very well the newbies among his soldiers.
However, even though he knew these things, Rudyaar had no way to do anything. After all, this was an order issued by his lord, King Ragnar.
The opponent is Wals, who is many times stronger than himself, and Wals has now become cruel and ruthless. I wonder how many of these soldiers will be able to return home after this southern expedition?
Rudyaer sighed and looked into the distance. In the distance was a vast plain. Recently, the plain had regained its former vitality, with some small animals coming in and out of the grass. However, due to the arrival of the army, these small animals fled in panic.
Going further south is the territory of Vols. According to King Ragnar, Vols illegally occupied his territory, and his army will take back these territories.
At this time, inside Gruenwald Castle, Walls was making arrangements for the battle plan.
Sunowols has already been decided to be abandoned, and as for Uxhall, a large part of the garrison in this castle are not their own people.
