    Raul stayed in the royal capital of the Daisy Principality for a period of time to make repairs. He also selected more than 80% of the paladins who came to the royal capital to protect Katniss and filled up the team heading north.  middle.

    A few days later, another army came to the Daisy Principality. It was an army sent by the Western countries to attract the call of the Papal State.

    For them, Katniss made arrangements based on the previous discussion with Raul.

    She selected from those troops those who were fairly well-equipped (at least the spear in their hand was not a stick with an iron piece inserted into the end) and those who looked strong (at least they were not in their seventies, eighties, or underage children), spearmen,  There were five to six hundred archers. Without disturbing their original formation, they were used as auxiliary troops to strengthen their momentum.

    The rest of the old, weak and remnants of the army, who were more like beggars than soldiers, picked out some of the taller ones among the dwarfs and asked them to be responsible for the logistics supply under the command of the paladin.

    For the last remaining ones, Katniss, after being polite, told them to go back to where they came from.

    So just like that, the army marching north quickly changed from a sparse appearance of four to five hundred people to a seemingly massive force of nearly two thousand people - in addition to the response troops from various countries, the Daisy Principality  A lot of manpower was also spent.

    Most of them were subordinates of the second prince, who luckily survived because the third prince had not had time to clean up. I heard that the king of Cornflower was also involved in the conspiracy, so they were all gearing up to avenge their monarch.  Blood hate.

    While Katniss was doing these things, Raoul sent Viscount William Smith, who looked more like a priest than a knight, but still passed the call of God, which made people feel a little incredible, as a special envoy, with a few  A paladin with strong martial arts skills and flexibility in dealing with things, he went north first to prepare the ground for the advance of the large army.

    Their targets were those lords in the Cornflower Principality who did not respond to the king's call to rebel, and whose territory was "unfortunately" blocking Raul's northward route.  The job is to tell them to let down their guard and not do something "stupid" like their king, and then ask them to organize some manpower to help the large army that is about to set off pass their territory faster.

    "Such a thing, you can imagine the danger with a little thought, but William still readily agreed and led the team to set off that day.

    to here.  Most of the preliminary work is ready.  Raul took the time to meet with the commanders of the coalition forces from various countries.

    During the meeting.  He was blunt with them.  "Leave the war affairs to me. All you have to do is help with security."

    Such words certainly made the commanders a little dissatisfied.  I feel underestimated.  But more people were relieved - at least that's what it looked like.  The place where they are used as cannon fodder may be much smaller, right?

    So at that time.  The commanders present expressed their opinions one after another: "We are also believers in the Lord. It is a great honor for us to be able to contribute to God. As long as our place is useful, just ask."

    So we waited until the end of August.  Raul finally finished the trimming.  Then he brought the paladins, priests and allied forces from various countries.  Advance towards the royal capital of the Cornflower Sacred Empire.

    ??¡ª¡ª

    The pace of the Northern Expedition was not too slow. It took them only eight days to cross the border of the Daisy Principality and arrive at the territory of the Cornflower Holy Empire.

    There, the scouts of the army found an open land near the stream. After thinking for a while, Raul asked the troops to set up camp in the afternoon. This was to allow the recruited farmers to rest and restore their physical strength, and on the other hand, he wanted to  Want to know the specific information about the lords and roads ahead.

    At night, the scouts came back one after another, and the farthest team brought unexpected guests.

    That was the paladin who set out with William. He and another young man met the scouts on the way and came here with them.

    The young man came to the camp where Raul was resting under the introduction of the paladin.

    He gave a standard knightly salute to Raul, who was looking at the map, and then introduced himself, "Your Majesty the Duke, I am Kaman of the Sispro family. Welcome to my territory."

    He was neither humble nor overbearing when he spoke, and his conversation was extremely appropriate.  Raul understood his identity without the paladin's introduction, so he smiled and expressed a brief apology.

    But neither the host nor the guests would take such words to heart.  That Carman soon smiled again and said, "Viscount Smith has already informed us of your intention - to uphold justice for God is what we believers should do - in fact, although my family is not  Too powerful, but I am still willing to lead myAttendants, fight for God under your banner.  "

    Raul was a little surprised when he heard this, thinking that this was the result of William's hard work, so he quietly praised Carman's piety.  But when he glanced at the paladin who came with Kaman, he realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

    You don¡¯t know about the hostages?  He asked with his eyes, and the paladin spread his hands innocently.

    Raul smiled, wanting to ask about Kaman¡¯s motive for using words to probe him.  But before the words even began, the young man took the lead in explaining: "During the few days when Viscount Smith and several other adults stayed in our castle, I had discussions with them, and therefore I was very confident that they could obtain me.  I am extremely envious of the Lord's attachment to me." He smiled, with a sincere look on his face, "So after meeting you, the Duke, the leader of the Holy Knights, I was very excited, and I accidentally said something like this.  I have said what I said, please forgive me."

    Raul nodded, followed his words and briefly introduced the matter of becoming a paladin, and smiled heartily: "If you really mean this, then after the war is over, come with me to Holy City.  !¡±

    Although it is still not certain what the young man meant by what he said, Raul also decided that it is always good for logistics supplies to have such smart people staying around to observe.

    He motioned to the paladin with his eyes to ask him to intercede for Kaman, and then he agreed to Kaman's request to stay in the army.

    After receiving the promise, Kaman looked delighted. He bowed to Raul excitedly, then suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "By the way, sir. After learning that you will pass through our territory,  We have prepared some small gifts, and I hope you can accept them. It can be considered that our Sispro family has also contributed to our lord!"

    As if in response to his words, not long after, the sound of carriages and horses and the voices of people came in outside the camp. After a while, someone came to report, "The Sispro family has brought a lot of food.  Come with a little drink."

    Hearing this, Raul nodded again and politely thanked the young man in front of him.
