Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 514 Battle of Polyviria (II)

Pilag. Marshal Hi-Feliot sat on his favorite mount, a tall, healthy, full of white, without a hairy Bronte horse on top, watching the marching armies on the road, silently sighing. Somehow, he always felt a little uneasy and restless. But when you see your supreme commanding officer stationed on a hill by the road from the ranks of officers passing along the road, a cheer will erupt...

“Long live the Grand Duke! ”......

This is probably the people recruited from their territory, and only they would call it that.

“Long live the Alliance! Long live the Marshal!” “Long live Hicks...”

The rest is some messy cheers.

As the new Supreme Commander of the Allied Coalition Army, if not the light cavalry commanding the Principality of Kanas for the previous days, fought a beautiful ambush, lifting the threat of repeated night raids by the enemy. Perhaps Pilag. Marshal Hi-Feliot will not build his own authority and prestige in the Allied armies, nor will Prince Daklind of the Kingdom of Nasseri follow his lead in launching a mad attack on the enemy's defensive positions the following day.

One has to admit that His Majesty's choice was so appropriate that Prince Ducklind became the heir to the kingdom of Nasserley, not that timid coward Prince Vedario. Because that Prince Vedalio has been propagating the powerful and terrible power of his enemies in the barracks, exaggerating how many times he has fought against them, indicating that the reason he defeated the war was not his fault, but that the enemy was too strong to resist...

Although Machid III gave himself the authority to determine it, after contacting the two princes, he chose His Majesty's preferred Prince Daklind and returned Prince Vedario to the kingdom to say that he was a special envoy of the Kingdom of Nasseri, in fact hostage. At least Prince Daklind is willing to obey his orders and fight his enemies to the death, while Prince Vedario wants to hide behind him and enjoy his achievements without contributing.

But Prince Ducklind is also a hottie, and he has to be careful what he does in the future. Let him direct the forces of the Kingdom of Nasserley to attack the enemy in order to make himself aware of the strength of some of the old opponents of the Kingdom of Hicks, the Legion of Thunder, the Overseas Autonomous Territory of the Kingdom of Ovieras.

As a result, the Royal Nasserli Army launched two attacks against the Front of Defense of the Legion of Thunder, consuming all the three Legion forces that had invested in Prince Vedario. The remaining hundred thousand horses in the kingdom of Nasserli, mostly from Prince Ducklind, are few left to turn to Prince Vedario...

Pilag. Marshal Hi-Feliot did not want to worry about the Nasserly Kingdom, but he knew what the two princes of the Nasserly Kingdom had done privately to fight. While it is despicable of these two princes to deliberately withhold their troops to rescue their captured father, Nasseri VII, and their relatives, His Majesty made it clear in the letter he wrote to himself that this was the best opportunity for the Kingdom of Hicks.

The first supreme commander of the Allied army, Count Nobleton of the Kingdom. Pan Belondi will be a very unlucky old man. He had been appointed by McKid III to the Rodex Bay colony in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Nubian mainland of the Fox Islands, commanding the Royal Expeditionary Force to launch an attack on the Overseas Autonomous Territories, which had unfortunately been defeated. As a result, Machid III was reclaimed for domestic abandonment and thought that the old man was too old to use his mind.

But the second was sent to succeed the Commander of the Expeditionary Corps, who commanded the most famous offensive general in the kingdom, Clario McKid III's beloved General. Marquis de Chirios. The same was true of the Royal Army Admiral, but he also failed. Even though the landing in the fishing village of Lanhu City, the capital of the Overseas Autonomous Territories, was astonishing at the start of the war, it was dissolved by the Autonomous Territories and the three landing regiments were defeated.

And then this Clario. The Marquis de Chirios was soon returned to the kingdom because of a terrible illness. Without waiting for the Kingdom to send a successor, the continent of Nubian has received bad news of the extermination of all Expeditionary Corps by two regiments from the Overseas Autonomous Territories and the occupation of even the leased colony of Rodex Bay. This meant that the Kingdom of Hicks had completely failed in this colonial war, and Machid III had been humiliated, and even the strength and military might of the Kingdom of Hicks had been underestimated by other nations.

It's just Pilag. It is clear to Marshal Hi-Feliot that His Majesty, the winner or the loser of the colonial war, is a spectator. Since he had never been involved in a struggle between His Majesty and the nobles of the Kingdom's territory, it was clear what the purpose of the colonial war between His Majesty and the Kingdom of Ovilas was to provoke. Upon victory, His Majesty could transfer the nobility of those territories of the Kingdom to the colonies, defeating and consuming the strength of the nobility of the territory of the Kingdom and the arming of the family.

Now, which other territory in the kingdom would the nobles dare to assassinate His Majesty? Not to mention the little Lord's rebellion of previous years, but after the defeat of this colonial war, did His Majesty also use this defeat as a justification for the reduction and confiscation of the aristocratic family territories of several territories? Today, most of the kingdom's territory is under the royal authority, and no one can unite against His Majesty's policy of governance as before. His Majesty has truly done his word, and all the affairs of the kingdom are at his disposal.

Of course, the failure of the colonial war did embarrass His Majesty. The reason why Count Pont Belondi, the old man, was reintroduced by His Majesty. The old man presented to His Majesty his plans to take over the new occupation of the Kingdom of Orvilas and to unite the rest of the Eastern region in an attack on the Kingdom of Orvilas. The reason is to help Grand Duke Siddins and Grand Duke Rimodra to return to their country, as they both fled to the Kingdom of Hicks.

Then Machid III adopted the old man's proposal and entrusted him with command. As planned, the Kingdom of Hicks had an enclave in the eastern part of the continent, Grand Duke Siddins and Grand Duke Rimodra had returned, and the Kingdom of Hicks had regained its prestige in the surrounding area and neighbouring countries, and no other king dared to laugh at His Majesty.

It would be all the more auspicious if we met on that, but His Majesty and the four countries of the eastern region came up with a coalition of countries of the eastern region, pointing their spears at the kingdom of Ovilas. And the kingdom of Nasserley, unwilling to be the little brother of the Hicks kingdom, took its own side in the alliance, did little to obey His Majesty's orders, and then a debt war broke out with the kingdom of Ovilas.

It would be nice to sit back and watch the kingdoms of Nasserley and Oweras spell you to death, but His Majesty would prefer to take this opportunity to teach the kingdom of Oweras another lesson and toss out a coalition army to take advantage of the opportunity to invade the kingdom of Oweras. At the beginning of the war, the sail was smooth, although there were some casualties, but the impact was insignificant, and the kingdom of Auvellas was defeated and even the famous king was lost.

His Majesty then rushed to Wang Du, held a grand parade ceremony and humiliated the kingdom of Ovilas. His Majesty also delivered a speech in which he resolved to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy the Kingdom of Ovilas in order to avenge the failure of the colonial war. Then, the kingdom of Ovieras transferred two regiments of overseas autonomous territories back to the kingdom itself.

This was followed by the defeat of the Allied forces in Ambrizeshire by the Rock Regiment of Overseas Autonomous Territories, almost half of whom lost their horses. The Legion of Thunder landed again in the Florrick seaport of the Principality of Rimodra, recovering the new occupied territories and destroying the Principality of Rimodra and the Principality of Siddins, as well as the enclaves of the Kingdom of Hicks. Immediately afterwards, the Legion of Thunder surprised another soldier, raiding the Royal City of Polyvisia in the Kingdom of Nasseri, and the war situation turned sharply downward...

The Supreme Commander and Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Coalition Army in the mainland of the Kingdom of Orvillas. The old man, Count Pont Belondi, fearing that the road would be cut off, led the self-proclaimed coalition forces to withdraw from the territory of the Kingdom of Ovieras and return to the Kingdom of Nasseri. As a result, His Majesty was provoked, directly deprived of all his powers and ordered to return to his country for reflection. His Majesty then deliberately came from his home territory to take over the post of Supreme Commander of the Alliance.

Pilag. Marshal Hi-Feliot is a legend of the Kingdom of Hicks, who took over the post of Grand Duke under the age of twenty. His father died in the sand fighting against the barbarian army of the invading territory, because the family territory was in the northern border area of the Kingdom of Hicks and was frequently subject to incursions and looting by several barbarian countries in the northern plateau.

After becoming Grand Duke, young Pilag. Lord Hi-Feliot began to run his family territory, selling pots and smashing iron into the bottom of the house to form a family firearms squad of 6,000 people, and a year later he led the family firearms squad across several barbarian countries in the northern plateau. Under his command, two barbarian nations nearest to him were exterminated, and the rest of the barbarian nations, who he feared would be helpless, could only make reparations apologize and seek peace, assuring him that as long as he was alive, he would no longer dare to send troops into his family's territory.

It's a little too much credit to open up the land for the kingdom, and it's also the Duke's position, which counts as the nephew of Machid III, so even Pilag... The Duke of Hickey Ferriot is younger and is still being awarded the title of Marshal of the Kingdom of Hicks. Of course, the marshal was only named, enjoyed an annuity and honor, and did not officially hold one of the kingdom's military positions in the Royal Army, otherwise McKid III would not be able to sleep at night.

Good thing Pilag. The Duke of Hi-Friot, who took revenge for his father, mostly hid in his family territory, rarely went out, and did not join the nobility of other territories of the Kingdom of Hicks in finding trouble for Machid III. Even before the rebellion of the nobility of the Territory, someone had found the Duke, hoping that he would be on his side of the nobility of the Territory, and the Duke had returned only one word to him, saying that his family's armed forces would not take part in the civil war, which had likewise been told to Machid III.

Like this one, MacGruber III deliberately asked him to be the supreme commander of the Allied forces, mainly Pilag, in addition to his affection. The Duke of Hi-Feliot is more curious to see how powerful it is to wipe out two regiments of overseas self-governing territories of nearly twenty standing regiments of the Expeditionary Corps of the Hicks Kingdom for colonial warfare. When he first saw the captured new rifles and new artillery, he found himself confronted not with the armies of the traditional Farea continental powers, but with a strange, totally different armed force from his impression of a strong army.

But in a way, Pilag... The Duke of Hi-Feliot also found shortcomings in the Legion of Thunder and was proud to have been negligent in offensive defensive positions. Without the boost of a new weapon, it's actually a horseback infantry with a tough, sharp force. So he arranged for the Duchy of Kanas' Light Cavalry to ambush the Thunder Legion's Night Attack Force, without the advantage of long-range shooting, the Kanas Light Cavalry could match them and make them suffer a huge loss.

But the most terrible thing about this Legion of Thunder is its ability to learn and reflect. For the first time, the five Legions of the Kingdom of Nasri launched an offensive that exploited the strength of their forces to make them lose each other and to cope with them. The second attack, however, revealed a marked improvement in the enemy's defensive positions and the same pattern of attack, with completely different results.

The attacking Royal Nasri Army is bigger and heavier, while the defensive Thunder Regiment responds in an orderly, busy and undisturbed manner. Even if there were casualties, the guarding general would not have fought like the first time in the battle to defend the bloodbath, jumping out of the trenches and battling the attacking Nasri soldiers with a bayonet, but calmly shooting with a new rifle...

If I may, Pilag. The Duke of Hi-Feliot hopes that the five standing legions of the Kingdom of Hicks will be able to withdraw in full and return to the Kingdom. He has seen the urgency of military change from the Thunder Corps. You're welcome to say that he's taking the lives of Hicks soldiers to fight the Thunder Legion, who has mastered new tactics. He doesn't think he can defeat the enemy with his superior strength. Even if he can defeat the enemy, the cost of casualties is too great.

But Machid III wrote to him that he must help the Kingdom of Nasser to expel the forces of the Kingdom of Aubrey and guarantee the independence and existence of the two eastern countries, the Kingdom of Nasser and the Principality of Kanas, and must not allow the Kingdom of Aubrey to reunite the eastern part of the Farea continent, even at the cost of more casualties. Simply put, with the presence of those two countries, the Kingdom of Hicks could intervene in the affairs of the eastern region and even have the opportunity to fight back against the Kingdom of Orvilas.

Just Pilag. If the Allied armies under Duke Hickey Ferriot can regain the Royal City of Polyvisia and bring Prince Ducklind to power, the future kingdom of Nasserley will have to rely on the aid of the Kingdom of Hicks to support it, which equates to the addition of a vassal nation to the Kingdom of Hicks. In order to achieve this, the Kingdom of Hicks just sat there and watched as the two Princes Nasserly pressed their troops, watching as the Legion of Thunder moved away their captives. In fact, that was the best time to recover the Imperial City, so it was left in vain...

Now the kingdom of Ovilas is also insisting that it depends on two regiments of overseas autonomous territories, if Pilag... The cost of further war damage can be tolerated if the Allied forces, led by Duke Ferriot, take advantage of their strength and force them to withdraw. The next step is a truce with the Kingdom of Orvillas, and after a few years of replicating new rifles and artillery and rearming troops, the day will come for revenge against the Kingdom of Orvillas.

There was no interference with Pilag in the letter written by MacGruber III. The Duke of Hi-Feliot commands the Allied forces, but it is clear that it is necessary to recover the Kingdom of Nasri, the capital of Polyvisia, and to support Prince Daklind in his ascendancy, so that he can rely entirely on the Kingdom of Hicks. Pilag. The Duke of Hi-Feliot, even if unwilling, cannot go against His Majesty's will but to do as He commands, commanding the Allied forces to approach the Royal City of Polyvoria.

A few horses rushed towards the hill, the guards under the hill were about to stop it, and it seemed that people were rushing to stand up for their rites, and the horses ignored the small soldiers and rushed to the hill.

“The Duke is very pleased. Are you looking forward to it?” The voice of the first man was bright.

Pilag. The Duke of Hi-Friot smiled in silence and came to the Duchy of Kanas, Archibald. Marquis Charles, Legion Leader of the Light Rider Regiment, was proud of the success of the night ambush on World War I.

“Lord Duke, this Bronte ride is amazing!” Archibald. Marquis Williams, look at Pilag. Duke Ferriot's sitting Emma drool: “The Horse of the North is nobler, taller, leg-length, snowstorm-resistant, quicker, bigger than our Kanas prairie horse..."

“Come on, stop it, I can't give you this white rainbow, I have three North Horses on my side, you can take one with you, if you can't even look after this fight, I'll go back to the North to find you some more good ones.” Pilag. Of course the Duke of Hi-Friott knew about Archibald. Marquis William Charles means, hastily stopping his praise.

“It's actually a real horse for the cavalry, or your Kanas prairie horse.” Pilag. The Duke of Hi-Friot shook his head: “The North Deep Horse is too delicate, easy to get sick, fine food, and insufficiently endurant to march long distances, unlike your prairie horse, who is a little short in head but has a lot of adaptability and endurance. Especially at night, when there is a moonlight, you can still march, making it the best option to mount light cavalry on a large scale.

The northern hippocampus is no good, blind at night, irritable, reluctant to move, especially afraid of the dark. So the stables have to be bright, otherwise you can't sleep, like a seven- or eight-year-old, even a mouse running by for half a day. All right, let's not talk about horses. Are you here to hear anything? ”

“Yes, Duke.” Archibald. Marquis Charles nodded: "Our scourge reports that the horses of the Legion of Thunder have also all withdrawn to the Royal City of Polyvisia, contacting agents Nasserli who said that the enemies in the City did not intend to withdraw, as if they wanted to defend the City dead. Now the troops in the Imperial City are still a rock division and two thunder divisions. Agent Nasserli watched the Thunder Legion enter the city with nearly 10,000 wounded..."

Pilag. The Duke of Hi-Friot was silent for a while and said in a solemn manner: “Looks like the enemy is trying to fight us in the Imperial City, a battle we have to fight..."

On the 7th of November 2000, the Allied armies came under the Royal City of Polyvisia and the war began.
