After Becoming The Tyrant

James stared at the commander: "The Angorians are not idiots like you who will get lost in the heavy snow for three days! They have dealt with heavy snow since they were young! Now! Send someone out to respond immediately!"

The disapproval on the commander's face disappeared, and he became serious.

He realized what the problem was.

damn it!

Those bastards from the Cinque Port Alliance who were always procrastinating made him almost used to the transport team arriving at such a time at night!

It has been snowing a lot these days.

But James is right about one thing. In the winter on Angor's side, the cold current along the coast will make their snow fall almost as thick as that in the Northland.Moreover, the Angor people have just established a deal with Legrand, so they won't become as lazy as the people of the Cinque Port Alliance in a few months.

the most important is!

—This is Newcana.

The riots last year had just subsided, and from time to time mobs attacked the troops stationed here.Although all this time, their attacks have been sporadic, like annoying mosquitoes.

"Hold!"

The commander cursed, he didn't bother to drink any bullshit spirits, he turned around and strode towards the barracks.

"Get out of here, old man!!"

There was a noise, the horses neighed, and the armor collided.

Soon, the drawbridge at the southwestern gate of Newcana Castle rose, and the guarding soldiers watched as the commander led a group of cavalry across the bridge like a whirlwind.

They rushed into the vast snow under the urging of the commander.

…………

The horses fell in a pool of blood, and Angor's soldiers gathered together. They used the vehicles transporting iron and wood as a temporary fortress for defense.

But, to be honest, the makeshift fortress was too shabby.

The Angles are known for their combativeness.

The Rose Royal Family conquered Angor for many years, but they still failed to completely pacify them.Although they are extremely poor and lack advanced weapons, they often only wear leather armor and hold bows, arrows and spears to fight with heavily armed knights.All the while, they relied on their swiftness to catch their enemies off guard.

For hundreds of years, they relied on this guerrilla tactic to defeat Legrand's army, but today these advantages are invalidated.

They escorted Ironwood away from the familiar Angor mountains to the unfamiliar Northland.

They were ambushed.

The opponent is far more familiar with the terrain here than they are.The enemy is lurking in the place they must pass through to Newcana Castle-a slightly long canyon.

When they marched to the middle of the canyon, the enemy suddenly jumped up from the snow on both sides.

The enemy was wearing a thick white burqa that blended perfectly with the heavy snow, his aura was covered by the snow, and even the horses didn't notice the strangeness.When the snow on both sides flew up and the situation was found to be wrong, there was no way out.

As soon as the officer of Angor's transport team pulled out the arc knife, the sharp arrows of "咻, 咻, 咻" sounded in the air.

Iron arrows came through the air like rain.

The officer swung his knife and pushed away a few iron arrows, and the horse under him fell to the ground with a groan.He staggered and pulled out the leg that was pressed by the horse, and rolled onto the ground under the loaded iron and wood cart, avoiding the rain of arrows.

This is simply a one-sided massacre.

Angor's soldier only wore simple leather armor, but the opponent was holding a refined iron crossbow banned by the Holy Court.

Under such a short distance, the hard crossbow shoots so fast that even the most elite Angor knights have no time to react.As we all know, the reason why the crossbow is banned is because it can penetrate the best chain mail!This is the weapon known as the "Cursed Thing".

Chain mail is like paper in front of it, let alone Angel's crude leather armor.

In a blink of an eye, the white snow was stained red with blood.

When the horse was wounded and ran away, it overturned the cart full of iron and wood, and the black logs rolled away and scattered on the ground.The corpses of Angor's soldiers and horses fell to the ground at the same time, and the air was filled with blood in an instant.

He should do something!

Hearing the wailing of his comrades in his ears, the officer tightly clenched the arc knife in his hand.

Amidst the sound of arrows raining, the hoofbeats of war horses rushed.

The officer rolled abruptly from under the carriage.A warhorse with no arrows in its hind legs was charging from behind, and the enemy was targeting the soldiers, not the horses, so no one paid attention to it.The officer was almost stepped on by the galloping horse. He quickly grabbed the saddle, turned over, and got on the horse.

The wounded horse rushed him out of the canyon like the wind.

At the moment the officer rushed out, some enemies spotted the missed guy, and they shouted behind him.

The officer caught their language.

Newcana was invaded by sea barbarians in the twelfth century BC in the Western Continent, and their language had deep-rooted barbarian characteristics.Especially the local dialect, which is very different from Legrand's common language.

These lurkers are Newcana's rebels.

A doubt flashed through the officer's mind:

——Although Newcana's economic situation is better than Angor's, it's only better than Angor's!The Northland has also been plagued by poverty for a long time, and it can be called Angel's suffering brother.So why do these Newcana rebels suddenly have such sophisticated weapons?

Where did they get it?

These doubts passed in a flash, and the officer was never answered.

Because the enemies behind him had aimed their arrows at him again.

The sharp arrow pierced through the air, and the officer turned the arc knife upside down to protect his back.In the blink of an eye, several arrows missed his shoulders, and he almost fell off his horse, stuck firmly in the stirrups.

The war horse was also hit by an arrow, and it speeded up with a mournful cry, bursting out to its final speed.

The man and the horse rushed out of the mouth of the canyon.

In the heavy snow, a cavalry came quickly from a distance.

With the last of his strength, the officer threw the arc knife towards the cavalry.

Then he rolled off his horse and fell headlong into the icy snow.The white snow rustled down, covering his young face.

"problem occurs."

The commander reined in his horse and swung his sword horizontally to prevent his soldiers from advancing.

He saw the scene where the officer of the Angor transport team fell from his horseback, and he also saw the arc knife inserted not far from them.

"They're under attack! We have to go to the rescue!"

The knights around him were in a hurry.

"No!"

The commander calmly looked at the gloomy canyon, where it looked like a poisonous snake with its huge mouth open.It had devoured the life of a convoy and was now licking its teeth, waiting for a new sacrifice.

"withdraw!"

"why!"

The knights could hardly believe the orders they heard.

"I said withdraw!"

The commander roared.

Angor's soldiers, known for their warlike behavior, chose to escape from the canyon and threw weapons that were equivalent to their lives—this was a warning to them!There is a huge crisis hidden in the canyon, even if they go there, they will not be able to meet the enemy's crisis!

The other party chose to convey the news to them desperately.

"withdraw!"

In the roar of the commander, this cavalry turned around and returned to Newcana Castle.

The boundless snow soon covered the body of the Angor officer.

Not long after the cavalry didn't approach and quickly withdrew, a group of people appeared at the entrance of the canyon. They were covered in snow-white cloaks, wearing fine iron armor that the Northland should not have, and holding a handful of crosses glowing with cold light in their hands. bow.

"Walk."

Looking at the shadow of Newcana Castle in the distance, the leader turned his head and said coldly.

Newcana Castle.

Just as the guard yawned, he saw the commander who had left in a hurry come back with the cavalry.He put down the suspension bridge full of doubts, and just about to ask something, he saw the commander rushing into the castle with a cold face without stopping.

"Stick! Stick to it!"

The command at the commander's throat spread along with the cold wind.

1432, less than a week until the end of the year.

An urgent battle report was sent from Newcana Castle.

By the time the Duke of Buckingham in the Rose Palace received the battle report, it was already covered in blood.

………………

Tomorrow is a new year.

Today is a jubilant celebration.

Thanks to the efforts of the city cleaning team, this is probably the first time Kossoya has ever been so tidy.

The streets are clean, the sewage system has paved the main streets, and the places that have not been paved, the garbage is no longer piled up randomly like before.Crimson banners were hung in the streets in an effort to give the city its vibrant side.

But it was not destined to be a peaceful celebration.

A travel-worn messenger rode into the city gate, and soon he was received by the king.

He came with a message that overshadowed the festival:

In the Northland, Newcastle, another rebellion broke out.

The flames of war started from Newcastle Castle and are spreading rapidly.The transport team from Angor to Newcana was cut off. Relying on the newly built Newcana royal military castle, the soldiers stationed in the North were struggling to hold on day after day.

On receiving this news, the king hastily returned to his study, took up his pen and began to write the writ.

He issued a decree and appointed the Duke of Buckingham as the general of the army, and the power of enlistment was directly appointed to the Duke.

According to Legrand's military system, all those who have obtained titles and lands from the king are obliged to lead their knights to fight when the conscription order is issued.This is also the common military system of all countries in this era, but the time for cavalry military service is limited, serving forty days a year.

Fortunately, in the "Change of the Rose", the king relied on the army of the Angles, and the confrontation between the Duke of Buckingham and the Duke of Grace at that time was also not within the scope of military service.

"Do you think the Duke of Buckingham has already started preparing for conscription?"

Charles watched the king write his decree.

"Yes, he will," replied the king, "but he doesn't have that power, so I give it to him."

There's no room for any peace talks, and there's absolutely no need for any damn conferences to discuss them, and the rich and hungry may still think this is a common rebellion as it used to be.But across a long distance, the king has already determined that his uncle will definitely make the same choice as him:

war.

This is no ordinary rebellion!

Behind this rebellion, there is a shadow closely related to the Pope's arrival in Blacy.

In the sky above Kossoya, the bell of the new year rang, and in the chilling north wind, goshawks fluttered their wings.

And in these days when the old and the new are changing, on the sea surface of the Abyss Strait, dead and plague ships are coming towards the southeast of Legrand.The prophecy the witch once made has come true:

—Those plague ships, like schools of dead fish, come across the sea.

The crowd outside was still enjoying themselves, while the king's messengers were already rushing out of the city gates with a letter addressed to the Duke of Buckingham.At the same time, the decree, which symbolizes war, also started to go out, and it will spread throughout the counties of Legrand.

1432 years have passed.

In the early sun of 1433, the Duke of Buckingham made a decision to fight immediately in the palace, and the southeast of the king's seat, the plague ships were approaching the coastline.

The real turmoil kicked off.
