Fifteen people is the minimum limit, and it is really only this number that will be punished by the Kingdom of Leon, as it is due to poor management.
Of the 20,000 men mobilized by Lord Hartmann, a full 5,000 were cavalry and attendant cavalry, constituting a formidable fighting force.
The heavy cavalry was at the front. They were composed of noble knights from various cities and were the core of the fighting force.
Behind the heavy cavalry is the light cavalry composed of attendant cavalry. After the heavy cavalry successfully charges, they will follow closely behind, expand the heavy cavalry's achievements, and tear apart the enemy's troops.
The cavalry was followed by a large number of infantry.
Lord Zelos Hartmann was a young man of only seventeen or eighteen years old. He inherited the title of his father, Old Hartmann, and obtained a vast territory.
Because he was young and full of energy, he ignored many traditions and tried every means to change them, including the legend of the Holy Corpse. In his opinion, the legend of the Holy Corpse was worthless and should be discarded.
In other words, old things should be discarded so that we can make progress.
The reason why the wilderness is dangerous and people cannot leave the city is because people have not made progress. If they had made progress, they would have found that the wilderness is not as dangerous as people imagined and that humans can completely conquer the wilderness.
Just like him, he once led more than 200 people to hunt down vampire monsters, and he succeeded. Although he only killed one and lost more than 30 people, it didn't matter. It was a victory.
So when the news from Sundberg City reached Pengdu City, saying that some holy corpse had appeared in the world, it immediately aroused Hartmann's disgust.
What holy corpse? There is no holy corpse at all. They are all monsters!
And monsters should all be destroyed!
Just as Torento thought, Hartmann had already started to gather the team shortly after the undead team left Sundberg.
At this time, he finally stopped the undead group before they left his territory.
It was a close call. If they had passed the border, Hartman would have been helpless.
A lord cannot send troops to other lords' territories at will, as that would cause unnecessary disputes and arouse the vigilance of the Kingdom of Leon, and would be considered as a rebellious intention.
But he still succeeded and stopped the other party before him!
He was wearing armor passed down from his ancestors, riding the tall horse he had raised since childhood, with a wide cloak draped behind him, and he really looked heroic and extraordinary.
Gazing at the Undead Legion from afar, facing a group of strange skeletons he had never seen before, the young and energetic Lord Hartman had no fear at all. Just like he often taught his knights, fear is a symbol of cowardice, and as nobles of the Kingdom of Leon, they should not be afraid of anything because they are the strongest!
He rode a tall horse and walked slowly in front of the battle, reviewing his troops.
"My warriors!"
"No need to fear! No need to panic!"
"They're just a bunch of scary-looking monsters!"
"Under the protection of the sacred Kingdom of Leon, we will be invincible!"
"We will not fail, because we are brave enough. Let the enemy see how brave we are!"
The young lord shouted with all his might, and some of the warriors in the crowd who were directly under Lord Hartman quickly raised their weapons and responded loudly.
With someone taking the lead, the others knew what to do, and whether they believed in Lord Hartman's words or not, they had to follow.
The crowd erupted in shouts one after another, their morale high.
Seeing this, Hartmann showed a smug smile on his face covered by the mask. He was very satisfied with what he had just said. He must have become very tall in the eyes of these soldiers and must have played a very good motivating role.
A lord should be like him, not afraid of any monster and dare to declare war on monsters. What's the point of hiding weakly in the city and living a mediocre life?
After boosting morale, Hartmann felt that the other party must have heard their shouts and would surely be afraid. Well, as a noble, he needed to be merciful and should give the other party the last bit of mercy.
He sent out a team of cavalry and asked them to convey the message that the so-called Lord of the Holy Corpse was allowed to surrender. As long as he accepted the punishment obediently, the battle would not have to start, and both sides would not suffer any losses or casualties.
Oh, I am so kind, I am the epitome of nobility.
Hartmann was completely enchanted with himself as he watched the knights riding their horses towards the ranks of the undead.
"It seems like someone is coming. Let's go and take a look." Li Ziyu said to Torento when he saw a group of knights coming from the opposing team from afar.
The two men brought the black warrior to the area between the two armies and met the knight who came to deliver the message.
Several knights sat on their horses, looking down at Li Ziyu and Torunto.
These two people look very ordinary, but the black heavily armored warriors behind them seem to be quite powerful.
However, as everyone knows, cavalry is naturally superior to infantry, so the knights are not afraid of the black warrior. They said arrogantly, "We represent the ruler of this place, Lord Hartman, to deliver a message."
Li Ziyu looked at the knights and wanted to order the black warrior to kill their horses, but he finally held back. He wanted to hear what the other party had to say, so he said, "Speak."
The knight was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the young man in front of him. He frowned, glared at Li Ziyu fiercely, and said with a look of charity, "The kind Lord Hartman said that as long as the so-called owner of the Holy Corpse is handed over and he is punished and cleansed of his sins, there will be no need for further fighting, and no one will die."
