Chapter 373: Rhodoks' worries

Rise in Calradia https://

In this way, Earl Craggs’ army was stationed in Amila, and a few days later, several other earl lords and even baron lords’ troops arrived one after another, but although there were a lot of lords who responded to the king’s call, But just as Earl Craggs said, these lords were either unable to support the army expedition because of the territorial disaster, or were not very interested in this expedition, so the total number of troops they sent was less than 2,000. Although there are still forces of powerful earls like Earl Dilynard that have not arrived yet, the size of this army is destined to not be particularly large. And even so, the quality of aid to Byron is also worrying. Among the soldiers who arrived later, there were not a few serious soldiers who could fight, and even the serious militias were not too many, and many of them were homeless. The victims and refugees were sent to Byron after being simply armed.

You must know that population is an important development force with slow growth. Now that these lords send these labors to death, it seems that their situation is worse than Byron thought.

Therefore, the main force of this army has to be Byron's battle group, as well as the main army and cavalry of the Earl of Craggs. Even the Byron's militia can easily defeat the miscellaneous army sent by the lords. In general, Byron had to use his own food to support the operation of this army without gaining military power. After all, when these miscellaneous troops came here to find food to eat, how could they carry enough supplies.

But regardless of the level of this army, when the news reached Jelkala, it still shocked King Griffith of Rodok and his ministers and advisers.

Rhodok’s intelligence network has been fragmented after the earthquake, so the news that King Griffith received was not only slow and erroneous, but now Byron is the focus of their surveillance and is not close, so the king still knows that there is at least 8,000 soldiers are gathering in the area of ​​Fort Amila, and the orders of King Harous are also known to them. Even before the earthquake, 8,000 heavily armed soldiers could pose a great threat to Rhodok, not to mention the messy Rhodok kingdom now destroyed by the earthquake. If they take this opportunity to attack, then Jelkala may fall. There is no way. Now the city wall is destroyed, and there are many terrains suitable for cavalry in the surrounding area. The badly damaged Jelkala army has little hope of winning. .

But there is a prerequisite, that is, they are the only ones fighting alone on Rodok's side. But in Rodok, this is basically impossible.

The news of the invasion of the foreign enemy was quickly spread by King Griffiths, and the lords of the kingdom quickly responded. Although many lords were dissatisfied with the rule of the king, the resistance of the Rhodoks to the Swadians was above all else. A coalition army quickly gathered and marched towards Jelkala, just out of grief. The people who walked out took up arms, and even if they left behind the families that desperately need them, they would never allow the war horses of those northerners to trample on their land. Even Lord Kestow, who was fighting fiercely with King Griffith’s forces, sent envoys to defend Roddock all the way and shouted that he wanted to unite with King Griffith. Of course, whether he was sincere or just to establish an image among the people, the king could not agree to his request. But even so, the kingly claimant still took this opportunity to brush up a wave of prestige among the people and the powerful.

Soon, tens of thousands of troops gathered around Jelkala, and many troops were on their way to the city. The king’s military minister doubled his confidence. He assured the king that with this army, they only need to find a suitable terrain to make it difficult for the pesky Swadia cavalry to charge, and then arrange a large number of iron briers to slow down their offensive and change theirs. In the direction of the offensive, the victory of the war already belonged to Rodok.

King Griffith agreed with his views, and began to conscript the people to build broken fortifications, prepare supplies, repair the rescued weapons and armor, and prepare for the attack launched by Byron. They firmly believe that Byron will launch a powerful offensive in the short term and start a decisive battle with them near Jelkala. It is impossible for Byron to drag on. After the earthquake, it is impossible for him to have enough food to support such a large army.

But Rodok's allied forces stayed for a whole week, and Byron didn't do anything. King Griffith waited patiently. He determined that this was Byron waiting for other troops to arrive, and continued to recruit militias to repair the walls. Sure enough, a baron of Earl Dilinard arrived with a force of 1,500 men, and he was well armed. It stands to reason that Byron should attack now, but after another week, he still did not act. King Griffiths was a little confused and didn't want to wait any longer. After all, while Byron was consuming resources, they also had to maintain the supply of the army. And because of the recruitment of manpower to build fortifications and train as a militia, the reconstruction work has stalled.

King Griffith did not want to wait like this ~lightnovelpub.net~ He sent out scouts many times to inquire about the news, and after another half a month, he learned of the series of events that took place in Salander, more east.

Sultan Hakim took measures soon after discovering the problem of the information leakage, arrested and executed multiple spies. Although the opponent was very tight and did not disclose any news, the army successfully found the main force of the slave rebels. , A great war broke out between the two sides, but the slaves could not stop the devastating charge of the Mamluk cavalry. Thousands of slaves were defeated and killed. Thousands of them were reduced to slaves and were castrated or branded to punish them. betray. But the most elite fighters in the slave army still protected their leader and escaped. Sultan Hakim continued to hunt down, because there were still tens of thousands of slaves still rioting everywhere.

And Byron also launched an offensive from the West at this time. The army that had been assembled stepped into the land of Salander. At this time, Sharez’s army had not reacted. The army quickly occupied a series of villages. In addition, he bought food from the locals at low prices to supply the army, and obtained a lot of valuable things from the chiefs and elders. Now, this army is heading towards Sharez, and the local army will never sit back and watch.

King Griffiths really didn't expect this, he didn't know the situation of Salander's direction before. But now, he can breathe a sigh of relief. He knows that Byron is only fighting against Rhodok to deal with the possible invasion of Salander, so the army is disbanded and each goes back to each house.

But the impact on Rhodok’s economy is terrible. Attrition brings dissatisfaction, and dissatisfaction nourishes the forces of King Griffith’s enemies.
