In the end, Richard still did not agree with the envoy of the Principality of Lasik. Of course, his lack of agreement did not mean rejection. He just found an excuse to end the meeting and arranged for the envoy named Dauris to live near the Palace of Hipolito. At the hotel, consider the long-term plan.

After the messenger left, Richard brought in his spy chief Renado Errach and asked about what happened in the Principality of Lasik. Renado was not ashamed of Richard’s trust in him. He was very relaxed. The information collected from the Duchy of Lasik was revealed as a treasure, allowing Richard to gradually sort out what happened.

This was a shameful rebellion, Richard thought of it after he understood what had happened.

It’s no wonder that he thinks this way. Just two months ago, the Principality of Lasik split, and the powerful earls and other nobles supported the prince Jairo, who was forced into exile decades ago because of a failed political struggle. Prince Jairo is the younger brother of the current Grand Duke Felicias. When his predecessor was about to die of illness abroad, he and Felicias fought for the heir to the throne, and eventually lost. In order to escape the persecution of his brother, he had to go into exile.) , Claimed that Jairo was the most legitimate ruler of the Principality of Lasik, and demanded that King Felicias return the throne.

However, King Felicias could not agree anyway. With a letter of refusal, the civil war in the Principality of Lasik broke out. The armed forces of both sides are very close in strength. They are mainly cavalry, supplemented by infantry. The battle is also on the Lasik Plain, which is conducive to cavalry operations. The sudden heavy rain forced them to cease the war.

If the war is allowed to continue, the two sides will only be deadlocked. Their strengths are similar, and no one can completely defeat each other and reverse the situation. But if the war continues to drag on and the rebels cannot make progress for a long time, they will naturally be shaken and civil unrest occurs. At that time, King Felicias can directly launch a general offensive and smash the rebels in one fell swoop. Knowing that, in order to avoid such a situation, the rebels directly chose to attack the rear of the king's army, create and spread rumors, and set off a civilian rebellion.

Facts have proved that the rebels have succeeded in their actions. Under the covert operations of the rebel spies, fire broke out in the rear of the King’s Army. The semi-nomadic herders on the Lasik Plain have set off a rebellion. They have been plagued for generations since the establishment of the Principality. Grand Duke, their people are strong and tough. Although they are good recruits, they can easily lose control and cause accidents. King Felicias had always worried that these herdsmen would rebel at a critical moment, but he did not expect that his fears had become a reality.

After learning of the herders' rebellion, King Felicias didn't even bother to continue confronting the noble rebels in front of him, and immediately led his army back to fight against the herders' rebels that threatened him the most (the herdsmen's rebels can cut off his supply line at any time). , Threatening the security of weakly defensive towns), facing the attack of the king’s army, the herdsmen were very clever to avoid their edge, spread out, and turned into small forces to attack the enemy. They were like annoying mosquitoes, although It can't cause much damage, but it can make the king's army too annoying, and the army's morale plummets.

At the same time, the noble rebels followed their way back to aid. They did not know what conditions were used to obtain the support of the herdsmen. The two hit it off. The noble rebels immediately joined the noble rebels and joined forces. The army of King Felicias launched an offensive.

The war broke out.

In this unprecedented battle, the king’s soldiers showed far more courage than usual. They lined up with their backs on a stream flowing on the Lasik Plain to meet the noble rebels and herder rebels. In the joint offensive, the rebel cavalry came in waves like a tide, rushing to the front of the king's army, facing the powerful charge of the enemy cavalry, the king's soldiers set up a tight shield formation, and died to death. Persevering, using their flesh and blood to resist the impact of the cavalry, they knew in their hearts that they had no way to escape. Although the stream behind them was no more than the calf, they still thought so.

However, they still failed. The powerful charge of the enemy cavalry broke the infantry line to pieces. Many soldiers fell under the trampling of iron hoofs. After the cavalry retreated, before they could relax, the enemy infantry attacked again. Then, the front line was broken up in an instant, and the two sides fell into a desperate struggle, shouting and shaking the sky. The king’s soldiers finally couldn’t bear the pressure and they retreated one after another. They screamed and crossed the shallow stream. Many people even tripped over the rocks under the water in a panic and fell to the river of blood. In the stream.

Even King Felicias himself was forced to flee the battlefield in embarrassment. He wanted to fight to the end, but was forced to withdraw from the battlefield by the loyal guards. After they fled into the nearby town and counted the number of people, he was surprised to find out. In this battle, they had less than five hundred soldiers followed by retreating here.

In such a desperate situation, King Felicias finally remembered asking for help from other countries. However, the relationship between the Principality of Lasik and the surrounding countries was not harmonious. Their only connection was to jointly sign a joint defense agreement against the Kingdom of Winster. Therefore, King Felicias had no choice but to ask for help from the Kingdom of Winster, which he had always regarded as a great enemy, hoping that Richard could send troops to rescue him for his daughter's sake.

After learning the ins and outs of the matter ~lightnovelpub.net~ Richard was lost in thought. To be honest, it would be of no benefit to him to intervene in the war in the Duchy of Lasik, not to mention that the two sides did not sign any items. The Covenant, the Principality of Lasik even joined the encirclement against itself, which is obviously full of hostility, but now at the most dangerous juncture, they finally remembered that they could ask Richard for help. How could there be such a good thing in this world? , Just use it to come and go, for fear that after Richard sent troops to help him put down the rebels, as soon as they retired with their front feet, they would turn their backs on their backs and deny them.

However, this incident reminded Richard of one thing. After he told Renardu to retreat, he called the palace general and ordered the other party to prepare a carriage. After preparing it again, he got on the carriage. Before night fell, he left Nord City and drove to a manor on the outskirts.

This is where the Princess Freya of the Principality of Lasik lives, and it is also the place where Richard King’s house hid her. Since he hasn’t been here for a long time, when the carriage stopped in front of the manor, he stepped off the carriage on the back of the coachman. At that time, I suddenly became unfamiliar with the scene in front of me.

This place has become different from when he came a long time ago. The original manor was not full of plants as it is now, and the wall of creepers did not exist, although it was already autumn. Those plants showed signs of wilting, but Richard bet that if it were summer and strolling in the manor, he would definitely feel like he was in the forest.
