    This is no wonder for them. In this world, the king is the supreme being that transcends all classes and is the soul of a country.  After Sofia made it clear that she was in Aulat City, the temptation was so great that no one present could ignore it.  "Your Majesty, give the order to march at full speed tomorrow and get to Aulat as quickly as possible." A general begged Leonard.  Others also said: "Yes, we must not let Sophia escape before the enemy reacts." However, facing the excited and expectant eyes of his subordinates, Leonard just yawned lazily: "No.  , the soldiers are very tired. Give the order, don't speed up, and continue to move at normal marching speed." "What?" They didn't expect Leonard to give such an order. Everyone was anxious: "Your Majesty,  Doesn't this waste the opportunity? " "What if Sophia runs away?" "Run away?" Leonard raised his eyebrows: "If she runs away, wouldn't we be able to capture Aulat City without a fight?  What's wrong?" "But letting Sophia go is the biggest loss." Everyone was a little confused as to why His Majesty, who was usually extremely shrewd, suddenly became confused.  "Don't worry." Leonard smiled leisurely: "Sophia won't run away. On the contrary, she is waiting for us to go." Seeing Leonard being so calm, everyone who was extremely excited gradually calmed down.  A general tentatively asked: "You mean, this is the enemy's plan?" Another person nodded: "Well, it's possible. If we defend the temptation and attack the city with all our strength, the enemy of the Giant's Seal suddenly comes from behind.  It is indeed possible to defeat us. "Hey, how many soldiers does the enemy have left in the city?" one person asked the intelligence officer.  "3,000 people." The intelligence officer replied honestly.  This number once again made the generals excited.  They originally thought that the enemy had left heavy troops in the city, but they didn't know that Sofia was so bold that she only defended the city with 3,000 people.  Their originally calm hearts were about to stir again.  "Your Majesty, no matter what, this is an excellent opportunity!" A general suggested again.  "Let's attack the city. As long as we can capture Sophia, we will win this battle." But Leonard rejected everyone again: "No, since Raymond is at the Giant's Seal, then we will go to the Giant's Seal." "  What about Aulat City?" someone asked.  Leonard glanced at him: "Since there are only 3,000 enemies, then send 5,000 no, send 10,000 people to surround the city, and the others will go to the Seal of the Giants." Seeing Leonard insisting on this, others did not dare to say anything more.  But they were still very surprised. Leonard seemed to pay no attention to Sophia, but he left three times the number of troops to besiege Aulat.  It¡¯s really hard to figure out.  As if seeing everyone's doubts, Leonard gave a rare explanation: "Olat has a long history. Do you know how strong its city defense is? Although there are only 3,000 people defending it, if you want to attack it by force, you have to pay at least several times.  The price is high, especially when Sophia is in the city. It would be strange if the enemy doesn¡¯t fight hard.¡± ¡°Raymond¡¯s army is in the Seal of the Giants. I won¡¯t do such a stupid thing anyway, as long as I defeat their coalition forces.  Sophia is naturally my treasure." Everyone then understood Leonard's thoughts, but some people still wondered: "Since the enemy only has 3,000 people, why do you want to leave so many people to besiege the city?  The person here is Sophia!" Leonard suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Raymon's move is really cruel. I wouldn't take it seriously if it were anyone else, but she really impressed me this time.  "It's amazing" "The king's role may be ineffective, or it may be infinite. Even if there are only 3,000 people, if the opponent makes any unexpected move, we will be in danger, so I must leave enough troops to deal with any unexpected situation."  The number of people chosen by Raymond is really very subtle.  Too much and Leonard will feel threatened.  He can only attack Aulat; if there are too few, he may not be able to defend the city.  Only these 3,000 people happened to be everywhere, so Leonard could only obediently leave as many people as possible to besiege the city.  Finally, Leonard said categorically: "In short, there is no room for loss in this war. I will not leave any loopholes to the enemy!" Even Leonard, who has always been arrogant, began to be cautious, which shows that he attaches great importance to this war.  .  It seemed that he was determined to put Raymond to death.  "Okay, let's all go down." Leonard waved his hand: "Let's head to Aulat tomorrow." "Yes!" Everyone respectfully accepted the order in unison.  ***************************************************  **************** ¡°Okay??, I'm leaving, you must be careful.  "Under the gate of Aulat, Raymond said to Sophia. "Don't worry, I will never let any enemy step into the city before Leonard is defeated.  "Sofia said firmly. After Raymond annihilated Dirk's forward troops, he immediately led his troops to rush back to Aurat. After helping Sofia prepare for defense and evacuate most of the people in the city, it was finally time to leave.  At this moment, the scouts in the front continued to send back intelligence. As expected, Leonard did not become cautious because the forward was wiped out. Instead, he ordered the troops to march directly to Aulat City, which is now only two days away. "Okay.  See you in victory.  " Raymond said to Sophia with a smile. Sophia also smiled back: "Goodbye in victory.  " "Let's go!  " No longer staying, Raymond shouted and led the troops to leave the city. Behind them, a loud shout suddenly sounded, which was the heartfelt declaration of the soldiers and people who were left to defend the city. "In order to increase the speed of the city.  Spud!  " "For Your Majesty!  " "Victory!  victory!  victory!  ¡± ¡­ Then, with a bang, Aulat¡¯s heavy gate closed, completely isolating the city from the outside world. The next time it opens again, it will either welcome Raymond¡¯s victorious army, or be destroyed by Dill.  The Croatian army broke through Two days later, Dirk's army arrived outside the city as scheduled. Looking at the towering walls of Aulat at close range, the generals now understood why Leonard was there.  They are unwilling to forcefully attack the city. Even if there are only 3,000 defenders in the city, there will be a huge price to pay to capture it, not to mention Queen Sofia personally staying behind. The fighting will of Gaspard's army must be extremely high.  Fight to the last person. They will never surrender. So far, no one has mentioned attacking the city to capture Sophia alive. "Okay, according to the original plan, 10,000 people will be left to siege the city, and the others will follow me to the Seal of the Giant.  "Seemingly seeing the helplessness of his subordinates, Leonard ordered. The general in charge of the siege took the order and immediately ordered his men to dig trenches, build forts, and prepare for a long siege. " Raymond was about to lead the remaining troops.  Leave. Suddenly he looked back at Aulat City and said to himself: "Well, it seems that I should say hello to Sophia" After saying this, Leonard turned the horse's head directly in the surprised eyes of his subordinates.  , galloping towards Aulat City. Unexpectedly, the generals were startled and quickly chased after him with the guards, while the rest gathered their troops to avoid causing chaos.  Depaima arrived at the gate of Aulat City, followed by a group of panting subordinates: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? It's too dangerous.  " Ignoring their nagging, Leonard raised his head and shouted to the city: "Hey, is there anyone there?  " This voice scared everyone behind them so much that their faces turned pale. The guards quickly raised their shields and surrounded Leonard. Leonard shouted a few more times. Finally, a few soldiers came out of the city wall. They were shocked and confused.  Looking at the people below, they were full of vigilance: "I am Leonard, the king of Dirk.  Leonard said without any scruples: "Go and tell Sophia that I want to see her."  " When they heard that the madman yelling below turned out to be Leonard, the soldiers all changed their expressions. At the same time, many people appeared on the city wall. They were scrambling to look at Leonard. The subordinates were extremely nervous.  , but Leonard accepted the gaze of the soldiers on the wall unscrupulously. After a while, a man said in a deep voice: "Reynard, what do you want to do?  "The speaker was Makudi. He was one of the best generals in Gaspard's army, so he was left by Raymond to assist Sofia in defending the city. When Dilk's army arrived, the people in Aurat made up their minds.  , unless the enemy troops attack the city, they will not do anything extra. That¡¯s why Leonard shouted for so long before he lured Makurdi out. ¡°Ha, I recognize you.  "When he saw that there were several people, Leonard smiled and said: "Go and tell Sophia that I have something to say to her.  " "Your Majesty is not here.  "Makudi snorted, and at the same time silently estimated Leonard's distance in his mind to see if he could sneak attack with a bow and arrow. "Come on.  Leonard sneered: "Since Sophia dares to stay, she will definitely not hide in the palace at this time."  " "Your Majesty will not see you.  "Makudi still shook his head. Leonard was so scheming, God knows what tricks he was playing, and Makudi decided that he would never let himHe meets Sophia.  Putting his hands behind his back and making a few gestures, Makudi was about to order the archers hiding behind the arrow stack to attack Leonard when suddenly a voice came from behind: "Is it really Leonard?" "Your Majesty!  ?" Makudi was shocked and turned around quickly: "That guy must have a conspiracy, you must not be fooled." The person who came was Sophia.  Leonard's prediction was correct. Dilk's army arrived outside the city. Sofia stayed behind the wall with the soldiers in the city to prevent the enemy from making any changes. She heard everything he said just now.  "Since Leonard has arrived at the city in person, wouldn't it be too cowardly for me to hide?" Sophia said, walking up to the wall and looking out.  Seeing her striking red hair, Leonard smiled and said: "Sofia, I'm really happy that we finally meet again." "I don't think so at all." Sophia said lightly: "What do you have to say?  Just talk." Leonard shrugged: "It's a pity, I thought this meeting would be more friendly, but it doesn't matter, we have plenty of time in the future." As he said, he extended his hand to Sophia: "Sofia, I am.  I have already thought about it. When I return to Aurat, I will marry you, because only the merger of Gaspard and Dirk will restore the former glory of the Kingdom of Saint Breman."  The Kingdom of Man was a huge empire that almost unified the continent of Veronica. Later, it was divided and Veronica's current structure was formed.  The Kingdom of Gaspard is located in the center and is its most orthodox successor.  Leonard¡¯s biggest dream has always been to rebuild the Kingdom of St. Briman.  "You dare to say such a thing, you dare to say such a thing!" Hearing that he insulted His Majesty, Makudi and others were filled with indignation. The archers immediately appeared and prepared to shoot at Leonard.  Sofia waved her hand to stop everyone.  She said coldly to Leonard: "That's impossible. I will be here to watch you flee back to Dirk in embarrassment after being defeated by Raymond." "Hahahaha" Leonard looked up to the sky and laughed.  .  Then, he stared at Sophia and said, "Then we will wait and see." "Goodbye, my queen." After making such wild remarks, Leonard turned his horse's head and led the crowd away in a swaggering manner.  "Your Majesty, that madman insulted you so much. Why don't you allow me to attack him?" After Leonard left, Makudi asked Sophia in confusion.  Sofia sighed slightly: "I also wish to let him die. But if you really hurt him, the Dirk army will attack the city regardless of the cost. I must be responsible for the people and soldiers who voluntarily followed me."  As she said that, she looked at the dark Dilke army camp in the distance, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Raymond will definitely defeat him." Hearing this, the Gaspard soldier on the side.  There was determination in his eyes.  ***************************************************  **************** Leaving 10,000 people to besiege the city of Aulat, Leonard led the army towards the Seal of the Giants.  A few days later.  The Dirk Army finally arrived at their destination.  "Finally here." On the wall of the Giant's Seal Fortress, Raymond and others watched the opponent's military flag appear in their field of vision, and they all let out a long breath.  According to intelligence, Leonard dispatched a total of 60,000 troops this time, all of whom were elites from Dilk's army.  In addition to the 10,000 people who stayed under the city of Aulat, there were still 50,000 people who arrived at the Seal of the Giants.  This is also after the consumption of the civil war.  Under the condition of ensuring the defense strength, the Kingdom of Dilk can currently use all the field troops at its disposal.  As long as Leonard is defeated here, the opponent will lose their offensive ability for a long time and can only protect themselves.  As for the coalition forces.  Raymond also mobilized all the troops that might participate in the battle, including the original Headington troops, the troops originally belonging to the Ferelden Alliance, and the Gaspard army that surrendered anyway.  In this way, the number of coalition forces has reached more than 30,000. Coupled with the geographical advantage of the Seal of the Giant, the gap between the two sides does not seem to be too big.  However, among these 30,000 people, the only ones with real combat effectiveness were the 20,000 people who originally belonged to Headington's Resurrection Army, that is, the "Resurrection Army" composed of Headington's Army and the Royal Guards. They followed Lei  Mongolia's warriors who fought in various battles, coupled with strict training, became the backbone of the coalition forces.  There are also thousands of prairie cavalry.  "The combat effectiveness of the troops of the Ferelden Alliance is at a lower level in comparison; as for the Gaspard Army who returned to be loyal to Sofia after the restoration of the country, although they are large in number, their combat effectiveness is really not that good.  Raymond only selected some of them to join the defensive battle, and put all the others in the rear to help protect the refugees and maintain order.  So this battle is actuallyThere are more than 20,000 coalition troops against 50,000 elite Dirks. As for the remaining 10,000 people, they can help. Once the war goes against them, it is really difficult to count on them.  Therefore, the situation of the coalition forces is still grim.  Everyone on Raymond¡¯s side knew this, and everyone watched with stern expressions as the enemy¡¯s army gradually approached the outside of the fortress wall.  The 20 cannons, for which high hopes were placed, have all been installed in place and neatly arranged on the city wall.  Although it can only be fired from a fixed position, the dwarf craftsmen designed a rotating device for the base of these cannons, so that the cannons can swing left and right at about 60 degrees, which increases the range of the artillery strike. This is the limit of what can be achieved currently.  In order to maintain confidentiality, these cannons are currently covered with a layer of cloth. From a distance, they look like tents set up on the city wall, which looks very weird.  Of all the people present, only Raymond was confident in these cannons.  Bryce and others focused more on the enemy forces outside and didn't pay much attention to the cannons beside them.  At this time, with a long blast of horns, Dilk's army stopped one kilometer away from the pass and began to build a camp.  While Raymond and his party were observing the Dirk Army, Leonard and others were on the opposite side.  Also looking at them.  ¡°I¡¯ve always heard that the Giant¡¯s Seal Pass on the Gaspard border is a dangerous place, and today I saw it was indeed the case.¡± A general looked at the narrow and dangerous terrain of the pass with emotion.  "The enemy also built a fortress to block it, making it more difficult to attack now." Another person said disdainfully: "What a fortress, it's just a relatively high wall. We don't know how many have been captured that are stronger than this."  The fortress." Others also echoed in agreement.  This is not because they are arrogant, in fact.  Although Raymond started building the fortress a few years ago, relying on Headington's mobilization power, he has never been able to invest too much manpower and material resources, and almost relied on goblin labor for the construction.  Naturally, a fortress is not easy to repair, so currently they have only built the outer wall to block the pass, and built some auxiliary fortresses at dangerous points on the mountains on both sides, which are still far from a real fortress.  The only good thing is that this fortress, which was originally used to resist the Gaspard rebels, did not have time to play its role.  In the end, it was used crookedly to defend against the Dirk army.  While the generals pointed at the pass, Leonard's eyes fell on the cannons wrapped in cloth on the city wall.  "Is that the enemy's secret weapon?" Leonard turned around and asked.  The intelligence officer beside him said quickly: "Yes, these were suddenly transported from Headington a few months ago. It is said that Raymond values ??them very much. Our secret agent said that there have been rumors among the enemy that Raymond  Meng secretly made some mysterious weapons." "It's really mysterious." Others came over and said, "It's still so tightly wrapped." "What's the power of that thing?" Leonard asked again.  The intelligence officer said: "It is said that they are some thick and heavy iron cylinders. As for the power, it seems that even the enemy himself does not know." "Haha, it seems that Raymond really treasures those things." Leonard said with a smile.  The others listened.  They also made mocking sounds.  "Iron tube? What do they want to use it for, to play it as a musical instrument." "Lemon must be crazy to do such a trick." "It seems that we are sure to win, because even the enemy himself has no confidence.  .""Everyone present is a veteran general who has seen many storms.  For them, if Raymond hid a mysterious force, it might make them nervous, but the enemy pinned their hopes of victory on those weird things.  But all they could get was their ridicule.  Doing tricks in such an important battle?  To them, this was a sign that Raymond was at his wits end.  "But Your Majesty, since the enemy is so confident, we should still be on guard." The ridicule was a mockery, but they still did not forget their responsibilities.  Leonard nodded: "Probably some kind of magic device or something. I have asked Haromon to bring a group of magicians at any time. If Raymond really plans to play magic with me, I will  He was very disappointed. "No matter how talented Leonard is, his knowledge can never transcend the limitations of the times.  It was impossible for him to think that what Raymond was preparing was an epoch-making new weapon like a cannon, but he just thought it was some kind of magic device.  And magic?  In such a large battlefield with a total of nearly 100,000 people, it is impossible for the magician's pitiful magic power to have any impact.  But Leonard was still prepared because he would not give Raymond any chance.?? ************************************************  ****************** The Dirk Army had just arrived, so naturally they would not launch an attack immediately. They had been working hard to build a camp throughout the day.  At night, the enemy camp opposite the pass was already ablaze with lights, as dense as stars, and the contiguous tents were like the vast sea, giving people a huge sense of oppression.  On the wall of the pass, Raymond and others looked at the enemy camp, knowing that although today passed safely, when the sun rises tomorrow, there will be a fateful battle.  "Lord Raymond, while the enemy has just arrived and the soldiers are tired, why don't we make a surprise attack at night?" Hermi suggested.  Bryce immediately objected: "Leonard will never fail to be careful about this move. I think there is no chance of success." Raymond also said: "Bryce is right, night attacks will not be effective against Leonard  "It will only waste our strength." "Boss, I heard that your thing is very powerful and can hit very far, so why not just bomb their camp at night?" At this time, Harlot shot.  He said to the cannon beside him.  Others agreed, thinking this was a good opportunity for the enemy to show off their power.  To this day they still have no confidence in cannons, thinking they can only be used for this kind of thing.  Of course Raymond would not agree. It would be nice to catch Leonard off guard, but it would also expose the secrets of the cannons in advance, and Raymond hopes to use them in more critical places.  "Okay, stop talking." Raymond stopped everyone: "Let's all go back and rest, and prepare for tomorrow's battle." Everyone left the city wall, but before leaving, Raymond looked back at the dark enemy camp again.  Tomorrow, everything will be revealed Suddenly, Raymond felt his heart beating uncontrollably several times, and he couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
