The Witcher: Son of the Planes.
Chapter 41 A Sudden Call
After Joseph and Cheryl's wedding, Baron Richard prepared to return to the Emerald County. He was a little worried about George, but thinking that Lilibet had not seen her family for a long time, he stayed patiently for a while.
During this time, Colin accompanied Helen and Nora to the library several more times, and learned about the three major magic organizations on the continent of Victoria's Secret. He also fantasized about becoming a wizard one day and living a life of calling the wind and rain, but in the end it was just his own fantasy.
……
Justin also attended Joseph's wedding. After returning to the capital, the royal family only symbolically punished Justin and did not hurt his family. He continued to serve as the head of the Tiger Corps, but was ordered to complete the reorganization of the Tiger Corps within three months.
Richie was still his good assistant, busying himself with the collection of supplies for the legion and his own way of making money.
Before Justin returned to the royal capital, a lot of new recruits had already been trained, but most of them were given priority to be supplied to the Wind Legion.
These days, he has also been selecting some of the Tiger Corps who are really undisciplined and is preparing to give them some money to send them out of service.
Just as he was reorganizing his troops, a major event occurred in the northern border of the principality. The city of Purinton had been lost, and the Wind Legion had suffered heavy losses and had retreated to the northern gateway of the royal capital - the city of Montel.
When the news came, the royal capital was in an uproar.
Justin was also a little surprised. He was careless and new in office. It was okay if he lost. The Gale Legion was a battle-hardened army. How could they...
Soon, more detailed news came. It turned out that when the Wind Legion was fighting with the Igle Tribe, warriors from the Grizzly, Fire Fox and Rock tribes suddenly joined the battlefield and dealt a fatal blow to the Wind Legion. The fact that the Wind Legion was able to survive the defeat under Giovanni's leadership was already a great achievement for Giovanni.
Soon, the state machinery of the Principality of Denton was mobilized and a call for action was issued.
Justin was ordered to lead a part of the reorganized Tiger Legion soldiers to the north to support the Wind Legion. At the same time, the nobles in the royal capital were forced to provide private armies as the second batch of reinforcements according to their strength.
……
"Father, I request to join the war." Prince Andy looked at his father, Anthony said.
Anthony looked at his son and thought he looked just like himself when he was young, just as young, just as energetic, and just as brave enough to fight tough battles.
Anthony thought about it and agreed to his son's request, arranging for Andy to lead the second batch of noble private army to provide support.
Although Andy already has the strength of a mid-level knight attendant, he will inherit his throne in the future. Personal strength is not the main factor. The key still depends on the support of the military. This time is also an opportunity to expand Andy's influence in the army. At that time, he can just send more guards to protect him.
……
"What? I don't agree." Lance objected when he heard Andy wanted to go to the front line to fight.
"Lance, listen to me. As the heir to the principality, if I don't stand up at this time, how will the people view our royal family? Besides, this is an opportunity to win the hearts of the people and the military, and I don't want to miss it." Andy explained.
"I don't care. I don't agree anyway."
Seeing that he couldn't convince Lance, Andy could only leave helplessly, but his determination to join the war would not change.
This is also the first time the couple has blushed in all these years.
……
The Marquis Johnson's House.
"I didn't expect the mission to come so soon. We don't have time to adjust the personnel. Richard, all the people you brought, except for the necessary guards, must participate in this support battle and fight together with the family guards in the mansion."
Soon, Johnson made a decision, and Richard had no objection. After all, he was Lilibet's uncle, and he was used to obeying the orders of Marquis Johnson when he was young.
Johnson still had some thoughts, at least he did not send Richard to the battlefield, but his guard commander Matthew could not be spared, not to mention Colin, who could not resign at this time.
Needless to say, the guards of the Cavendish family are elite soldiers who have been trained for many years and can go into battle at any time. As for Richard, because he came in a hurry, he did not bring the strongest fighters Alex and Gandalf. Among the people he brought, Matthew was the strongest. This time he will lead the soldiers of Richard's family to form a team and integrate into the private army of the Cavendish family.
……
"Brother, you must come back. I'm waiting for you on Emerald Island." Nora said with tears in her eyes.
"Believe in my ability. I will definitely come back to find you. Don't worry." Unlike others who were worried, Colin said excitedly.
What Colin didn't expect was that Helen also came to him and told him to be careful.
Colin seems to have a mysterious sense of confidence. Is he conquered by my powerful charm?
However, unlike what he thought, Helen simply didn't want to let the man who was half her savior die. It couldn't be said that she had a good impression of him, at most she just didn't dislike him.
……
Justin's troops had already set out. He had not yet completely reorganized the Tiger Corps, so he set out with only more than 20,000 people.
Three days after he left, the nobles' private army was almost assembled. In the square in front of the palace, King Anthony gave an impassioned speech, talking about the Principality's victories in recent years and the recent achievements of Burgundy. Colin was fed up with listening to it.
……
This time, Prince Andy served as the leader of the noble private army. In addition to the private armies of each family, the royal family also dispatched 500 palace guards, accompanied by a small team of court mages.
It seems that King Anthony cares very much about his son, Colin thought boredly.
There was no time for Anthony to speak more. Soon, the private army set out. A total of more than 3 people marched towards the northern gateway - the city of Montel.
……
The private army of the Cavendish family, led by Knight David Robinson and Matthew as his deputy, has a total of 1200 people, but most of the soldiers are not professionals. The professionals include 1 senior knight squire, 2 mid-level knight squires, 4 low-level knight squires, and 30 apprentice knight squires (mainly cavalry).
……
Plympton City - City Lord's Mansion
"League leader, please." The leader of the Yanhu tribe raised his glass and toasted.
"please."
Putting down the wine glass, Tiele looked at the chiefs of the three tribes. Thanks to the timely arrival of the three tribes, otherwise the casualties of the tribes would be heavy. He did not expect that the opposite Wind Legion did not have as many people as the Tiger Legion, but its combat effectiveness was not small at all. He led his army south, and could not sacrifice too many tribal warriors.
"Thanks to the strong support of the three clan leaders, the southerners have suffered a great loss this time."
"It's mainly the credit of the Tiele tribe leader. We just followed suit and waved the flags." The leader of the Yanhu tribe said modestly.
"This time the Gale Legion retreated a hundred miles and should be able to reorganize their defenses. I believe the enemy's support is on the way. What should we do next, Chief Tiele, what are your plans?"
The harvest from taking over the city of Purinton was enough. Over the past few months, a considerable number of the tribe's warriors had been sacrificed, and the previous strategic goals had basically been achieved. Tiele wanted to withdraw his troops and was not interested in occupying the city of Purinton.
But he couldn't just withdraw his troops. The three tribes had come to support him, and they hadn't gotten any benefits yet. If he withdrew his troops like that, how would he lead the team in the future? Who would want to play with him? No, he had to fight another battle, and win it. He had to seize some supplies and give them to the three tribes, so that they could at least have a share of the spoils.
The chief of the Yanhu tribe did not expect Tiele's complicated thoughts, but Tiele finally expressed his idea of continuing to move south. The chiefs of the three tribes all agreed and were ready to join the Igle tribe in a big fight.
