Raymond understood that he was referring to Dusan. Only the ghost ship could quickly travel back and forth between the two continents. Anyway, the whistle Dusan gave him was still there, so he nodded and said: "That's not a problem. But Mr. Saul, why are you so enthusiastic about the research of cannons?" Saul touched his chin in confusion: "This you Don¡¯t forget, when I return to the Kingdom of Dinar, there will be many enemies waiting for me. This thing is very powerful and will be of great use in the future. Of course, the sooner we get it done, the better.¡± Thor is not lying. , Raymond visited the Mojina continent last time. King Dinar shouted to Thor to kill him, and he heard that another prince also held heavy troops and had evil intentions. It is conceivable that when Thor returned to the Kingdom of Dinar, the civil war began. It was unknown how many people in the entire Mojina continent would be involved. The cannon was also of great significance to Thor. But what Raymond didn¡¯t know was that this was only a superficial reason. As a person from another world, Thor knows better than anyone how much the emergence of artillery will change this world. In fact, when Lorna invented gunpowder and artillery, Thor was so shocked that he even wanted to stop it secretly at first, which would delay the change of history for decades. But later he figured out that this change was not brought about by himself, but an inevitable choice of the historical development of this world. In other words, what is to come will always come. ¡°As a part of the current world, there is no need to reject it. Instead, it is the right thing to follow the trend of history. So, Thor decided to help Lorna improve the artillery. Although he is not a professional, providing some advice can still save Lorna a lot of detours. In this case, not only can Raymond get help from the artillery in the next battle, but he can also use it after he returns to the Kingdom of Dinar. It can not only help myself, but also help my son. Why not. *************************************************** **************** After the discussion, Raymond summoned Dusang with a whistle, and Dusang happily agreed. Since it was inconvenient for Thor to leave Headington, he asked Reed to go there himself and bring his wife. It just so happened that Reed was depressed because of Emil's incident. He can also take the opportunity to relax. Dusan¡¯s speed was very fast. After only 3 days, it successfully brought the person there. "Wow, this is where you are hiding. It's really shabby." This was Mary's first sentence after arriving at the port. "Hahahaha, Thor, you are really miserable. You have been chased to another continent." This was her first sentence after seeing Thor. ¡°Oh my god, Alina, what on earth did you do?¡± This was her first sentence after seeing the gunpowder. but. Alina's invention really amazed Mary, so she readily agreed to assist her daughter in researching it. In this way, Alina's family of three had a rare reunion. Not to mention Mary and Elena speeding up the improvement of gunpowder and cannons, a few days later, Headington was also ready to send troops to the Kingdom of Gaspard. Unlike previous invasion wars, this time, Raymond really wanted to help Sophia regain her country. This goal has been on the minds of Gaspard's subjects since Sophia's exile in Headington. now. The legitimate princess will finally take back the throne and realize everyone's long-held wish. therefore. On the day the army was dispatched, all the Gaspard refugees came to see the army off. The morale of Gaspard's soldiers in Headington's army was even higher. The whole army is full of momentum and full of confidence to win. In view of the huge role Sophia played in the last invasion, she will also accompany the army this time. With her call, the people of Gaspard had long been dissatisfied with the rule of Duke Charles. Will definitely try his best to surrender. "Sofia, are you ready?" Raymond asked Sophia beside him. Sofia looked at the expectant eyes around her and took a slow breath. When she raised her head again, there was an extremely determined look in her eyes. "Everyone, we are about to return to the motherland. May the spirit of my father in heaven bless us. We will definitely succeed!" The soldiers and people around him immediately burst into loud shouts. "We must win!" "We must win!" "We must win!" When Raymond picked up the reins of his horse, the horse under him neighed, and he stood up. At the same time, he drew his sword and pointed it to the sky, shouting: "Let's go!" The army slowly set off, heading towards the Kingdom of Gaspard. *************************************************** **************** by ?The border between Headington and Gaspard has always been the main battlefield, so a considerable number of troops have been reserved in the border area. After Raymond took over the army of the original Ferelden Alliance, Headington's military strength further grew. In order to successfully restore the country, he took away almost all the soldiers who could participate in the war, leaving only a small number of defenders in the mainland and Ferelden City. Therefore, the number of troops participating in the attack on Gaspard this time reached an astonishing 20,000, which was all the manpower Headington could use. The troops from Gordan Grassland also participated in the attack, because their ultimate goal was to defeat Leonard and reduce the pressure on the mainland of Gordan Grassland. Therefore, he will assist Raymond in the war of restoration to deal with the subsequent attack from the Kingdom of Dirk. In the battle with the undead, the prairie cavalry lost about one-sixth, and there are still more than 2,000 in number. They are also a force that cannot be ignored. During the march, Raymond looked at the mighty troops in front of him and behind him, and he couldn't help but sigh. He still remembered that when he first arrived at Headington, his first battle was to lead a coalition of bandits and Headington garrison, numbering over 200 people. Unexpectedly, just a few years later, the army in hand had increased a hundred times, and Headington's expanded territory was no less than a thousand miles away. What a long few years it has been Sofia, like Raymond, rode in the procession to show the princess's martial spirit. She seemed to guess what Raymond was thinking, and said suddenly: "When I escaped from Aulat City that year, I thought I would never be able to return to Gaspard in this life. Little did I know that it had only been a few years. "I have always felt that although I have encountered many unfortunate things, the luckiest thing in my life was meeting you that night." "So thank you, Raymond." eyes, said very seriously. Raymond also looked at her, a smile gradually blooming on his face: "I said, this is what I promised you. I will definitely do it." "Yes." But suddenly, for some reason, Sophia's bright eyes dim down. She lowered her head: "Then what are your plans after the restoration of the country?" "Of course we are preparing for a war with the Kingdom of Dilk." Raymond said: "Duke Charlie is not something to be afraid of, Leonard is the real threat. ." He said strangely: "Don't you already know this?" "Yes, yes." Sofia avoided his eyes in a panic, but couldn't help but said, "I mean, wait for all this. After everything is over, are yougoing to leave" "What?" There happened to be a noise coming from the side, and Raymond was too distracted to hear it. "Ah no. It's nothing." Sophia shook her head. "Let us end this war as soon as possible." A few days later, the team passed the Seal of the Giants Pass, and the officials who stayed behind had already prepared food and lodging for the army to rest. After several years of continuous investment and the hard work of a large number of goblin laborers, the fortress at the Giant's Seal Pass has begun to take shape. Although it is far from the size of the huge fortress in my impression, a high wall has been erected on the outer side of the pass. The city wall is ten meters high, and the top of the wall is wide enough for a large number of defenders to stand. There are also many auxiliary defense facilities built at strategic points around it, forming a three-dimensional solid defense network. This defensive network firmly blocked the pass. Protecting Headington behind, making the Seal of the Giant truly an insurmountable natural hazard. "It's so spectacular." Looking at the tall city wall, everyone exclaimed. "But, is it really useful?" Harold whispered: "Once we help Princess Sofia return to the country, Gaspard will be an alliance. What is the use of this fortress?" "Shh. Keep your voice down." Xi Ernis bumped him with his elbow: "What do you know about this kind of thing? No matter how ally Gaspard is, he is also a foreign country. Headington is our own territory. Of course, we must have necessary defense measures." " Tsk, if that's the case, then just annex Gaspard, and nothing will happen." Harold said disapprovingly. These words shocked Hillness, and he quickly covered Harold's mouth: "You are crazy, you can say such things, what if Princess Sofia or Gaspard's people heard it? "I didn't say we wanted to fight." Harlot curled his lips and said, "It's okay to let the boss marry the princess. Anyway, I think the princess loves the boss very much." "Shut up!" He was so angry that he slapped him on the back of the head. But soon, the elf touched his chin and said: "But it doesn't seem impossible." Unknown to him, there were two people here who were discussing the future, and the army took a rest at the Seal of the Giant.After dinner, we left the pass in a mighty manner the next day and continued to move forward. Subsequently, the army arrived at Weilai Town, the forefront of Headington's control area, and stationed there. The border troops led by Bryce and Makurdi have been waiting here for a long time and have done a lot of preliminary preparations. When the two armies joined together, more than 20,000 troops immediately made the town lively. Weilai Town is located in an important transportation area and is the best choice to start the attack. With the arrival of the army, a large amount of supplies began to arrive here in the next few days. All the soldiers were gearing up and waiting in high spirits to launch an attack. In the command center of Weilai Town, Raymond was discussing the battle plan with the generals. "How was the enemy's reaction?" Raymond first asked Bryce. Bryce replied: "During this period, I sent many scouts to test the enemy's movements. Since we have been making preparations, the enemy must have known that we planned to attack." "But the strange thing is that the other party did not seem to do anything. There were no corresponding measures, not even a probing attack, as if they had given up completely. "This is strange. Is the enemy deliberately showing weakness?" someone speculated. "It's very possible." Makudi nodded: "Although Gaspard's military strength is not strong, it is not that he can't even conduct a probing attack. I think the more this happens, the more cautious we should be. The enemy is likely to have something. Conspiracy." His words were agreed by many people present. The war to restore the country was at stake, and although troop morale was high, the officer corps was generally conservative. Many people are afraid that an accidental mistake will affect the cause, so they tend to attack cautiously. Raymond did not speak, but asked Bryce and Helmy: "What do you think?" Helmy was the chief commander of the original Ferelden Alliance. He has extremely high talents in military affairs. As a new entrant, he pondered for a moment, and then said with certainty: "In the past few days, I have seen the previous results against Gaspard's German army. Based on this judgment, I think the opponent is afraid, so he does not dare to attack." "What?" Hermi's judgment was very different from everyone else's, and it was very bold. Makudi immediately said: "Although our Gaspard is not strong, our army is not so cowardly." General of the Royal Guards. Makurdi instinctively resisted this statement. Helmi did not refute, but nodded slightly to Raymond to indicate that he had finished speaking. At this time, Bryce also spoke, and he said cautiously: "I also agree with Hermi's judgment. The enemy's lack of action does not mean that they have other intentions, but that they have no way to respond." "How is this possible? "Some people said in disbelief. Bryce said: "Why is it impossible? Duke Charles has lost the support of the people, and now Gaspard is in chaos. The army has no intention of fighting anymore. Just look at our previous battles, almost a slight defeat. The enemy either fled, Either surrender, there is no chance of fighting." "Now Leonard is busy fighting for the throne, and Duke Charles has lost his backer, so I believe that the Gaspard army can no longer pose any threat to us. " Raymond slapped the table: "Bryce and Helmy's judgment is very accurate. I can conclude that this battle to restore the country will be much smoother than we imagined. " Then, Raymond made arrangements. His attack plan was very bold. He attacked with all his strength from the beginning and left no room for hindsight. And divide the troops into three groups. One group is led by Bryce, the other is led by Hermi, and the central army is commanded by Raymond himself. The three groups advance together to liberate the entire Gaspard territory in the shortest possible time. Finally, Raymond concluded: "Everyone, our real enemy is Leonard, who is eyeing him. The civil war in the Kingdom of Dirk is about to end. Leonard will never allow the Kingdom of Gaspard to return to Sophia's hands, so he will definitely Lead the army to attack." "So there is no need to hold back in this battle. The only thing we have to do is to defeat Duke Charlie's last resistance with thunderous momentum and try to buy as much time as possible." "Yes!" Everyone agreed! . Subsequently, Headington¡¯s three armies launched together and attacked the Kingdom of Gaspard with overwhelming force. *************************************************** **************** "He, they are coming!" A scout hurried over, pointing behind him and shouting. In the wilderness in the distance, I saw a mighty team marching towards this side, with Headington's name clearly marked on the flag raised high. "Okay" the commander of the unit gritted his teeth and said, "It's finally here. I've been waiting for them for a long time." Said?, he turned around and shouted: "Brothers, prepare!" Behind that man, thousands of soldiers wearing Gaspard uniforms responded loudly, and everyone drew their weapons and stared at Headington's army. Headington¡¯s army continued to approach, and soon they could clearly see the appearance of the forward. There was a well-organized Gaspard army waiting here. They were obviously surprised. They heard a horn sound from Headington's army, and the marching team immediately stopped, and the two sides entered a confrontation. Then, a group of cavalry left the main force and galloped towards Gaspard's army to conduct a test before the battle. Seeing the cavalry approaching the front of the formation, the leading commander suddenly shouted: "Let's do it now!" All the soldiers immediately raised their weapons, and in an instant there was a sword light like snow, followed closely Ding Ling clang! There was a clanging sound, and all the Gaspard soldiers threw their weapons to the ground and raised their hands. At the same time, from their ranks, a white flag was raised high, flying proudly in the wind. "Really, why are you here? We have been waiting for several days." The commander complained to the stunned cavalry: "If you don't come, we will go find you and surrender." At the same time, in In the ranks of Headington's army, Harlot said to Sirness in frustration: "We surrendered again. How many times have we surrendered? We haven't fought at all until now." The Headington soldiers on the side also said Everyone nodded, and many of them put their weapons back into their sheaths in disappointment. "Oops. Someone has surrendered again." "We are almost in a prisoner's internment camp." "It seems that we can't fight again today." Raymond's judgment is very accurate. This time Gaspard's return to the country The battle went smoothly than expected. After leaving Wei Lai Town, the three-pronged army advanced towards the interior of Gaspard with overwhelming force, encountering almost no resistance along the way. The enemy troops either fled or surrendered in an organized manner, showing no intention to fight at all. If someone tries to resist by chance, he will collapse at the first touch. Things like what just happened have happened countless times these days. Behind this force led by Harold and Silness. There was already a huge prison camp. The same thing is happening in the other two armies. The only thing Headington's commanders now have to worry about is whether the logistics can keep up with too many prisoners. In contrast, ordinary people in Gaspard welcomed Headington's People's Liberation Army more enthusiastically. The appeal of the princess Sophia is indeed incredible. I heard that the princess is back, whether it is a city, a small town or a village. Everyone warmly welcomed Headington's army. The residents of Headington, who had been under the tyranny of Duke Charles for a long time, all stood clearly on the side of Headington. They drove away the officials appointed by Duke Charles. Opening the city gates wide, providing food to the passing armies, and assisting them in detecting the enemy's situation, allowed Headington's army to feel the power of the people. Therefore, the three-way army marched very smoothly, with large tracts of Gaspard territory changing course. The army quickly gathered outside Aulat City. As long as this capital is captured, it means the liberation of the entire Gaspard territory. However, it was here that their offensive stalled for the first time. During these days of march, the die-hards who had turned to Duke Charles all fled into Aulat. Trying to make a last ditch effort. Although they are not many in number, they have become an extremely troublesome existence relying on Aulat's solid city defense. If they tried to attack the city by force, Headington's army would definitely suffer extremely heavy losses. As a result, Headington's army could only station troops under the city of Aulat, and the two sides entered a stalemate. *************************************************** **************** "Your Majesty, here we come, all Headington's troops are here!" With a panicked cry, an attendant hurriedly ran into the city of Aulat. Palace: "There are tens of thousands of people, all outside the city." "Then, those guys finally arrived here." "There are tens of thousands of people, what can we do?" "Is there really nothing we can do? ?¡±¡ There was a panicked discussion immediately in the palace hall. These people present were all nobles and officials who had taken refuge with Duke Charles. Fearing that Sofia would be liquidated after the restoration of the country, they all fled into the city of Aulat, united closely around Duke Charles, and tried to make a final resistance. It can be said that they and their soldiers are all loyal to Duke Charles and are extremely troublesome. Looking at the people talking about it below, Duke Charles is sitting on the throne.Showing disdain. He first patted the handrail hard to calm everyone down, and then said: "The enemy hasn't entered the city yet, why are you panicking." "But Your Majesty, the enemy has tens of thousands of people, and our troops in the city are not When there are 2,000 people, it¡¯s impossible to resist them,¡± a nobleman said in horror. Long before the arrival of Headington's army, almost all the defenders in Aulat City were gone. Now the troops in the city are all private guards brought by nobles and officials, totaling less than 2,000 people. It was insignificant compared to the army outside the city, so it was no wonder they were so scared. "Damn you guys, it is said that all the soldiers surrendered, that's why the enemy came so quickly." Another noble said sadly: "Are our Gaspard soldiers all courageous cowards?" Others also They yelled curses one after another, condemning the surrendering soldiers for not working for them and resisting Headington's army to the end. Duke Charlie said angrily: "Shut up, everyone, what's the use of talking about this now?" Everyone below was so scared that they were silent, but they all stared at him, obviously waiting for Duke Charlie to make a decision. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
