Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 561: Hicks Legion Offensive

“... what the hell are these Breot monkeys doing, why aren't they leaving today?” Baron Huntleick was very upset that he would have stayed a few more days to deliver these Bréot cannon ashes to Lenvoyork County and put them under the authority of the Solem Standing Army to complete the mission. After this attack against the Overseas Autonomous Territory of the Kingdom of Ovieras, he has no credit or hard work, and may be able to march to the rank of marquis.

Everything was going well, except outside the city of San Hiplian in Wang Jing, when the original reward of His Majesty King Machid III for this Legion of Mountains of the Kingdom of Breot seemed to have changed, the cash reward was gone, the abundant meal was gone, and the Breot Legion of Mountains only distributed two glasses of wheat wine and a pound of grass, one of which was hardened like stone, for some time. As a result, morale dropped dramatically. After leaving Wang Jing, the speed slowed down. It took three days to arrive in Temaus County, and now the excuse is stuck...

“I also saw the cavalry of the reconnaissance camp leaving the camp this morning, and I asked a lieutenant guarding the camp door where they were going. The lieutenant said they probably wanted to go out and buy some fresh meat. Oh, so funny, our Majesty actually rewarded these monkeys with the meat deposited more than 20 years ago. These monkeys don't have such good teeth to chew on these meat jerks..." Another Hicks Reserve Officer made a joke, hoping to cheer the Lord Baron, who has been Baron Hunterick's little brother for more than a decade.

Baron Hunterick also had a smile on his face, and he didn't see anything wrong with McKeed III cutting the reward for those Breot monkeys. But these monkeys got that stiff meat jerky, and that look was ridiculous. He saw with his own eyes a soldier try to bite on a truffle, and he immediately collapsed a large tooth. Whenever I think of this scene, Baron Huntleick always laughs unconsciously.

“I hear these Mount Breot monkeys have been trying to deal with this raccoon for two days, and the water is burning and roasting is useless, and the cooks even cut two knives. So they want to eat meat, which is understandable, after all, they eat black bread every day.” Another local official told the truth. While the Kingdom of the Hicks is responsible for the grain supply of the Breot Hills Regiment, all that is actually delivered is black bread and dried fruit, with very little meat, and even their escorted Hicks officials are required to send themselves to buy food.

“At noon we went together to find that General Baker and told him that logistical supplies would only be normal if they arrived at their destination, ensuring that their meals were the same as those of our Kingdom's Standing Army. Now, just two counties away from the front line, we have to get these monkeys over there as soon as possible, complete our mission, and we can go back, and we don't have to suffer with these monkeys anymore.” Baron Huntleick has made the decision to get these monkeys on the road as soon as possible, which cannot be delayed so much...

“My lord, General Baker's deputy just came to see you, saying that General Baker is inviting you to eat roast sheep at noon...” Baron Huntleick's hands-on report.

Well, Baron Huntlick still admits that this Legion Commander of Mount Breot Monkeys, Baker, is a very nice noble general, intelligent, and most importantly, very proud and generous, has been on the road for almost half a month, and General Baker has had several feasts with these Hicks officials. When it comes to snowflakes, it's a shame he's a Breot, otherwise Baron Huntleick will have a good time with him...

At noon, the camp smelled of roasted sheep everywhere. As Baron Huntleick walked to the big book, he discovered that these Mount Breot monkeys were actually roasting sheep. He weighed a dozen times, and almost a squadron split into a roasted sheep, which is a huge pen. Because this Breott Hills Legion has more than 70,000 people, a squadron of more than 50 people, a roasted sheep, needs at least 1,400 or five hundred sheep, and the purchase cost is a lot of money.

There were two grills in front of the large tent, each with two perfumed sheep, and the soldiers in charge of grilling the sheep were brushing seasonings on the sheep with a large copper basin. The scented Baron Huntleick, these Hicks officials, suddenly had a big appetite, and he was welcome to take a silver plate from the table next to him and ask the barbecued sheep soldiers to cut down the roasted lamb where they wanted it.

“Tastes good.” Baron Hunterick chewed on the lamb in his mouth with a big mouth and admired General Baker sitting in the ledge: “I didn't expect you to get so many sheep, it's just a waste of time for these soldiers to eat roasted sheep. In fact, you don't need to use roast sheep to boost morale, just give them a sip of lamb soup. ”

For Baron Hunterick, the soldier was ash in his eyes, and it was the biggest waste of his life to enjoy roasted sheep to those who would soon die on the battlefield. Usually being able to fill their stomachs is the greatest favour to them, and there is no need to waste money to satisfy soldiers' meat requirements. If it were him, he'd have a battalion of sheep, a little more water, and burnt goat soup for the soldiers to soak in black bread...

General Baker lifted his glass with a smile and sipped: "Lucky for us, the sheep from this nearby town ranch farm have been taken to the camp. Rest assured, more than 5,000 sheep are enough for our entire regiment to eat three roasted sheep..."

Baron Huntleick remembers that Dartmouth, where the Bryot Mountain Regiment is now located, is the famous pastoral county of the Hicks kingdom, producing large amounts of mousse sheep that are easy to raise, and have always been one of the favorite meat foods of the people of Wangjing. Ordinary farms have a herd of more than a hundred Maus sheep, not to mention a ranch dedicated to Maus sheep, with one thousand and eight hundred sheep not talking. No wonder the reconnaissance camp went out this morning and got more than 5,000 Maus sheep.

“Spend a lot of money, you really are a big pen, more than 5,000 sheep said buy it to feed the soldiers. If you keep doing this, even a golden mountain in your house will be ruined by you.” Baron Hunterick felt worthless for the generosity of General Baker, who swallowed the lamb and picked up the glass in front of General Baker and breathed it down.

“Oh,” General Baker smiled and poured fruit wine into Baron Huntleick's hand: "Without money, more than 5,000 sheep were ordered...”

With a loud cough, Baron Huntleick was choked half to death by the fruit wine he had just poured into his mouth. He stopped coughing easily, pointing stunned at General Baker: “You, what are you talking about? By order? Who, who gave you the order? ”

“It is, of course, His Majesty King Avitre I, who wrote to me that, in accordance with the agreement he reached with your King Machid III, the supplies of these logistical supplies for the journey of our First Mountain Regiment are provided by your Kingdom of Hicks, with meat and eggs and fresh vegetables and fruits. Unfortunately, all you've supplied us with these half-month trips is black bread and a little dried fruit, and, by the way, a piece of meat dried harder than iron stone, which is a reward from your king.

So when I reported this, Our Majesty gave us a decision to collect military materiel locally. Our soldiers were delighted by the order given by His Majesty and carried out it perfectly. You see, in addition to these 5,000 Maus sheep, we've collected a lot of useful supplies. I have to admit that the people of your kingdom of Hicks have a high sense of patriotism and, knowing that we are here to help you fight, they have even given up their family wealth to cover my military expenses... "

General Baker lifted a large wooden box next to him, containing half the box of gold and silver coins and some gold and silver products, such as a silver candlestick gold cup plate or something. Baron Huntleick even saw a golden tooth with blood on it, apparently the owner of the golden tooth did not seem so willing to give it to him, otherwise he would at least wash it away.

“Dang!” Baron Hunterick's golden wine glasses and silver plates fell on the floor, his tongues knotted, his fingers smiling, and General Baker tasting the roasted lamb: “You, you... how dare you collect military supplies in our kingdom..."

General Baker's face was full of confusion: "Why not? If you won't give it to us, then we'll charge it ourselves. It's perfectly normal..."

Normal shit! Baron Huntleick was desperate, and it was no longer a question of whether he could accomplish this escort mission, but of the rebellion that this Breott Hills Legion had committed under his nose! This is a slap in the face of Hicks, the great North Dipper! When a legion of mercenaries will be able to requisition material locally within the Kingdom of the Hicks is the greatest insult to the Kingdom of the Hicks!

Needless to say, Dartmouth County's neighboring Wangjing area, this pastoral farm in the Grand County of pastoralism and everything is mostly in the name of the royal nobility, God knows how many royal nobility these Breot monkeys have offended by going out for a walk this morning, expropriating so many military supplies, forcing those ranchers to donate something to the rancher's farm manager. This is not only a heinous crime committed by these monkeys, but it has also involved his official in charge of escorting them.

“You, you're fucked! Do you have any idea what you've done? It's not about one of your regiments, it's even about your kingdom of Breot! The only thing you can do right now is to compensate the owners of the requisitioned materials satisfactorily and send troops to the front line immediately, so that perhaps you can keep your dog alive...” Baron Huntleick's angry, dejected mouth curses.

“Don't be angry, it's no big deal.” General Baker's understated swing: “To the front? No, we're not leaving. Since the people of Dartmouth County are so warm and welcoming, our First Mountain Regiment of Breott will not fail them. We will be stationed here to protect them from aggression and persecution by our enemies and to set up defensive fronts on the ground. If that Overseas Autonomous Territory force breaks through your frontline defense, we will welcome the enemy here..."

Baron Huntleick feels a little dizzy. What do you mean? General Baker, the monkey general, decided not to leave, to stay here and continue to scourge the people of Dartmouth County, and to set up a defensive front here? There are two more counties on the front line. Who are you defending? It's not blatant rebellion. What is it?

“You, how dare you...” Baron Huntleick pointed at General Baker and couldn't speak.

“Why wouldn't I dare?” General Baker's Face Killer Appears: “Dear Baron Huntleick, you'd better enjoy this delicious roasted lamb meal because it's the last meal of your life. Enough pointing fingers and feet on the way. See that dozen hangers over there? It's for you...”

Oct. 16, St. Hiplian City, King of the Hicks.

The momentum was renewed and the solemn King of Hicks, the king of the Kingdom of Hicks, sounded the curse of McKid III's damned voice. The Honourable Majesty has been cursing for almost half an hour in a row, and all the ministers and nobles standing in King Tingli bowed their heads and listened to the roaring woman of His Majesty.

Because they were informed this morning that two mountain regiments from the reinforced kingdom of Breot, unable to bear the harsh supply treatment of the Hicks kingdom against them, had raised the rebel flag, a looting of Dartmouth County, known as the local requisition of military materiel, and were unwilling to continue to the front line, instead of building a defensive front in Dartmouth County, ready to be stationed on the ground. Another is on its way to Wang Jing Disease and is said to be ready to come and loot the rich Wang Jing area.

Machid III is preparing to wage a new war against the Kingdom of Breot immediately after the war. He swore that, as soon as he defeated the attack in the Overseas Autonomous Territories, he would immediately declare war on the Kingdom of Breot, a kingdom which had always been untouchable by rallying troops to flatten the Breot kingdom and destroy it.

How kind and sincere he is to the Kingdom of Breot, who helped them free of charge when they were in dire need of assistance in the face of a crisis. As a result, these Breot monkeys were all white eyed wolves with their hearts and their lungs. They actually raised the rebel flag at the most critical moment in the Hicks kingdom. He must lift these rebellions to ashes and not let go...

“Sire, let's think about how to deal with these two rebellious Breot Mountain Regiments...” General Filimos, the head of the Royal Army Department, helplessly interrupted McGidd III's whispering, and he knew very well that it might take two hours for His Majesty the King to continue cursing him...

“Soldier, destroy all these rebels! Tell us, brave warrior, not to capture this war, to hang them all alive!” McGidd III made a decision with his ministers and generals roaring.

The decision to send troops is simple, but the question is where to send troops and when the time doesn't come. General Filimos was fortunate that the Breot 1st Mountain Regiment in Dartmouth County was stationed on site and did not return to Wang Jing. This is most likely the commander of the First Mountain Regiment who ate lamb and fainted and did not expect to join the Second Mountain Regiment that followed, so much so that he gave the Kingdom of Hicks a great fighter to break apart.

McKid III himself ordered the Solem Standing Army stationed in Lenvoyork County to destroy the Bleott First Mountain Regiment in Dartmouth County. The senior officers of the Royal Army are very confident that the Solem Standing Army is one of the strong standing armies of the Kingdom of the Hicks and has been credited with the expansion of the Kingdom.

Deal with a regiment of Breot monkeys, that's what's caught. In particular, both of the Breot kingdoms are mountain regiments that fight in the mountains. But now Dartmouth County's terrain is plain pasture meadows, and the monkeys descend the mountain, and there's nothing left to fight for, and I'm sure the Gestures will be here in less than three days.

Leaving behind this shitty Second Mountain Regiment of the Kingdom of Breot, said to be rushing towards Wangjing, it is clear that they are well aware of the richness of Wangjing, where plunder can be compared to the three counties of the Kingdom of Hicks, arguably the essence of the Kingdom of Hicks.

Nearly all royal ministers and nobles have asked the Royal Ministry of the Army to volunteer against the enemy and must not allow this regiment of Mount Breot monkeys to enter the Wangjing area. It can be said that the kingdom's ministers and nobles have set up properties in the Wangjing area, and they will never allow their property to fall into the hands of these damn Breot monkeys...

After several considerations, the head of the Royal Army Ministry, General Filimos, despite the situation and urging of his colleagues, eventually decided to let the Iron Guard Corps, which remained in the city of San Hiplian in Wangjing, take the initiative to destroy the Legion of Mount Breot Monkeys. As the Iron Guard Corps of the Royal Hicks Close Guard, like the Guard Corps of the Kingdom of Orvillas, it is naturally silent to call the Hicks Royal Corps the number one battle force against a regiment of Mount Breot monkeys.

The only headache for the senior officers of the Royal Army Ministry was that the nobles and royal brothers in Wang Jing claiming to be martial arts and bravery had jumped into the army, demanding that they be brought into the ranks of the attackers with their personal armaments.

These aristocratic private armed groups are also close to a division, and General Filimos would have liked to have reduced the division of the attacking Iron Guard Corps by replacing it with a division of the aristocratic private armed forces, but feared that the aristocratic private armed division would not have been very reliable enough to have simply asked Machid III to join them in the attack. Let the Iron Guard destroy the Breot Mountain Monkey Legion and let this noble private armed division chase it down, beat the water dogs down and think they should be very good at it...

On 19 October, the Solem Standing Army, stationed in Lenvoyork County, arrived in Temaus County, resting for three hours and at 4 p.m., attacking positions defended by the First Mountain Regiment of the Kingdom of Breot, where heavy fighting lasted until 2 p.m., before retreating due to heavy casualties.

At 10 a.m. on 20 October, the attacking Iron Guard Corps and private noblemen were attacked lightly by the Thunder Corps and the Storm Corps as they marched in the Wangjing area, causing heavy casualties and collapse throughout the army. The Storm Regiment besieged the city of San Hiplian in Wangjing at 5 p.m. and successfully broke down the door to capture Wangjing at 8 p.m.

On the same day, the First Mountain Regiment of Bretto in Dartmouth County launched a counter-attack at 11 a.m. and surrounded the Solem Standing Army of the Kingdom of the Hicks at around 3 p.m.
