Duke Alvis looked at Lai Gou'er for instructions.
From now on, everything must be based on Lai Gouer's lead.
He didn't have the courage to make a decision to go against the church.
Not to mention that the church mobilized the Greek army.
The Temple Army has also arrived. They are the most elite troops under the Holy City.
"What is the level of the Temple Army?" Lai Gouer asked.
Hope immediately said, "Everyone is heavily armored! The Templars are few in number, but each one is carefully selected and tall. One person can defeat three or five ordinary soldiers."
It looks like they are really investing a lot of money and are ready to take down the whole thing.
Lai Gou'er thought, "It will take some time for them to reach the royal city. It's a bit strange that the army suddenly appeared."
"The only possibility is that the church has already determined that Feika has apostatized and wants to be sure to annihilate him in one fell swoop."
Hope broke out in a cold sweat.
Duke Alvis asked anxiously: "What should we do then?"
"Send two messengers to welcome them first, and we will wait here."
"That's all we can do....follow up and report back."
......
It was raining heavily and the weather was gloomy.
On the top of the city wall, Lai Gouer was inspecting the artillery placement site.
Now all the soldiers on the city walls have been replaced by Dajing soldiers for defense.
Although doing so may result in greater casualties on our side, it is also the only solution.
Father Soljie's prestige in the city is unmatched. Due to brainwashing and his own efforts, the people in the city are almost completely convinced of him.
But after all, it was the Church's Templar Army that came in person, and the deterrent effect of the Church's headquarters on the people is self-evident.
If we wait until the Temple Army attacks and the city defense soldiers surrender first, the port will be out of control and all our previous efforts will be wasted.
The most appropriate thing to do is to use Dajing's soldiers to guard the city.
When Lai Gou'er was halfway through his inspection, Duke Alvis ran up to the city wall in panic.
Standing in front of him, he gasped and said, "The messenger we sent out has not returned. He must have been killed."
"The spies reported that the Heroic army will arrive at the city in about three days."
"The lords along the way have all volunteered to join the Xiluo army and come here together. Now their number is probably about 80,000."
"We only have more than 20,000 people now, so the pressure may be a bit great."
With 20,000 men defending 80,000, of course we can do it.
Lai Gou'er frowned and asked, "Have all the lords along the way joined in?"
Duke Alvis nodded helplessly: "What else? Those people don't completely obey the country's orders. Now that the church is attacking, of course they will follow the church!"
"I'm afraid half of the people here are lords from various places who have joined in."
Lai Gou'er said, "The enemy is coming aggressively, so start raising the drawbridge over the moat now. The curfew starts today, and you are responsible for keeping a strict watch on the people. Don't let any trouble break out down there."
"Although the enemy's army has the majority in numbers, their forces are complex. As long as we use our firearms to shock the enemy, they will be defeated in one blow."
"Last time, I reported the situation here to the court. The court will reply with a wave of support, which should arrive in a while. By then, we will unite and take the initiative to attack. Once the forces outside the city are wiped out, we will go straight to the Holy City and stabilize the situation."
"Then you won't have anything to worry about. Remember, you and the priest must keep the people stable. As long as there's no chaos here, there won't be any problems here."
"All right...."
.....
The iron hooves of the Hiero Kingdom are heading towards the port with a clear goal and aggressive momentum.
The original army consisted of only 50,000 men, but as they advanced deeper into Feka.
The lords along the way all bowed down and were willing to follow the Temple Army to fight against the rebels.
In fact, the local lord also has a very keen sense of smell.
The news coming from the main city of Feika has made many people think about it.
Now that the Temple Army has appeared, the meaning behind it is self-evident.
The core of Feika has indeed apostatized!
They are looking for death, just don't take us with them.
As a result, the Hellenic army and the Temple army grew like a snowball.
The supply of supplies is becoming more and more sufficient.
The local lord showed his best.
After all, they are all lords of Feka. The church’s current attitude towards Feka makes them not have much to do with the core nobles.
It is inevitable that there will be a reckoning in the future.
Now is the best opportunity to show yourself!
At this moment, the army is stationed halfway, and it will take another two days of walking to reach the main city of Feka.
Inside the big tent, the chief general of the Hiro Kingdom, Mod, was sitting on one side of the tent with a big horse and a golden sword.
In the main seat was the chief judge who came with the army from the Holy City, and on the side was the cardinal of the Hiero Diocese.
The two of them drank tea leisurely, looking unhurried.
Maude felt a little short of breath when he saw this. These two guys acted like they were on vacation the whole time and didn't look nervous at all.
Although Feka is a small and insignificant country, this is a war after all!
War should be fought with a war attitude!
Maud's chest was slightly irritated, and he said in a deep voice: "Judge, although Feika is weak, we are attacking the main city of a country after all. Although we have 80,000 soldiers now, their origin is too complicated and difficult to organize."
"It is very difficult to capture a city with 80,000 men. It would cost a lot of lives to seize the city gate! I suggested at least 100,000 soldiers. Why did the judge insist that 50,000 would be enough? Do you want to rely on the lords and peasant soldiers you recruited on the way as support?"
The chief judge glanced at him and said leisurely, "General, these are all instructions from the Holy See."
"Feika and Father Soljie have betrayed their religion without any attempt to conceal it. In addition, the Brotherhood often causes trouble in secret. The world is becoming increasingly unstable."
"The church sent you here, and brought 10,000 Templars with them, to wipe out Feka and capture Soljie in one fell swoop. Of course, they must be fully confident. Otherwise, why would they send me here?"
"What's your confidence? Feika sent two messengers over, and you killed them without saying a word! We are at war, and the other side must be preparing for war!" Mod said with clenched fists, "The preparations before coming here were not sufficient, and the troops were too few."
The chief judge rolled his eyes at him and said, "How can you be a general? You can't fight a war if you have too few people? Don't you know that you can defeat the enemy with fewer people?"
"Humph, if I had a million men, I could win battles every day. What kind of general can you be if you can't defeat a larger force with a smaller one?"
Damn it! Retarded! Brain dead!
If I really gave you a million people, I would kill half of them first without having to fight a war. Do you think you are playing house?
A vein appeared on Maud's forehead, and he said slowly:
"Your Honor, this is a war of swords. Prayers... cannot kill the enemy."
The presiding judge stared at him and suddenly smiled evilly: "Are you questioning the decision of the Holy See?"
"I didn't, but we can't be vague in war. The Holy See hopes for a great success, but now every step seems to be random. And I was planning to attack quickly, but now the baggage of the Templars has seriously slowed down the advance. What on earth are their carriages pulling? Why does one carriage have only one box and it takes four horses to pull it?" Maud asked, taking a deep breath.
