Chapter IX Neck, or War(2/2)
"Yes," Galadia stood on tiptoes and brought herself to Griffith's mouth, "Be eliminated sooner, come and accompany me sooner, woo"
…
The knights who passed the preliminary rounds put on their brilliant armor, mounted their horses, held lances in their hands, and paid tribute to the gods, kings, and senate.
Griffiths climbed into the saddle and received a hollow applewood spear.
His lance seemed to have been truly blessed by the princess, and it went anywhere it went.
After provoking one opponent after another, he was finally able to face the prince directly. He raised his gun in the direction of Galadia, as if this was the moment he had been waiting for all his life!
Prince Commodus was extraordinary in appearance, and his mount was extremely majestic. When he appeared on the opposite side of the arena, Griffith was so excited that he cheered.
Although you are a prince, I have no reason to be polite. Today’s victory is a perfect celebration for my birthday!
Three loud bugles sounded. This was the signal to start. Griffith pulled down his visor and prepared to attack.
At this moment, a cavalryman ran into the arena quickly. He came straight to the prince's side and reported something. The referee who was about to issue an order also stopped.
After a while, the prince put down his lance and his attendants came to the rostrum. The principal thought for a while and then gave the order to terminate the championship.
The prince took his guards with him and left the arena like a gust of wind, leaving the audience full of excited people whispering among themselves.
In the evening, good friends gathered to celebrate Griffith's birthday. A detailed report and a senate announcement were also sent over at this time.
According to reports, earlier, the troops of the clan alliance crossed the mountains and jungles and attacked the northern border towns and villages of the Odessa region from several directions in squadrons and brigades. The local counterattack was carried out under the command of the lord
.There was a brief pause after the summer's attacks, seemingly vying for dominance of the army.
Beyelan and the tribe accused each other of launching a large-scale cross-border attack. The Clan Alliance asked Beyelan to move all garrisons, posts and settlements on the border back forty miles, and begin to move towards the border connecting Odessa and the Clan Alliance territory.
Send additional troops to the Jingze area.
The border between the two sides is close to a natural border. The army is limited by the complex mountainous terrain, rivers, poor roads and supplies on the border and it is difficult to deploy.
But there is one area that is different.
After an ancient river and lake dried up, several tributaries were left, including swamps and a river valley that was more than ten miles wide from east to west and hundreds of miles long from north to south. The north and south exits of the valley were controlled by humans and clan alliances, with their own huge
fortress.
There are good roads and a large number of warehouses there. As long as they break through the valley area, the armies of both sides can freely attack the nearby plains.
The exit of the river valley is not just there. There are more than a dozen mountain passes and passes in the hundreds of miles long mountain range, which are excellent paths for smugglers, spies and small groups of armies to sneak across. This long and narrow area is like a throat, because it is spread all over
The swamp and river are called "necks".
Because of its vital terrain, the Neck Valley has always been a contested territory and has not been completely controlled by any party. The Beyeland side exited the valley in the south and Teutoburg marched northward. After many years of fighting, they occupied a large area.
The territory formed a huge protrusion, and the northern border of Odessa and Duke Meyer's fortress area were located to the southwest and southeast of the protrusion respectively.
In other words, as long as the Neck is in the hands of the clan alliance, the salient will disappear and the northern defense line can be leveled.
In response to the Clan Alliance's request, Bayeran immediately responded, requiring the other party to withdraw the orc garrisons that had sneak attacked various border towns through the Neck, and hand over their Rum Fortress in the north of the valley.
Griffith picked up the Senate Announcement he had just received, and at a glance he saw several large bold letters written on it:
