Chapter 23 The New Four-Power Allied Forces

It’s like Egil’s random battles were fought three or five times, and he could predict the future—I mean the ability to see the initiative. Although King Arthur Artoria was not very old, even several months younger than Egil, he also had the ability to see the initiative.

In two months, the King of Norway was not an incompetent person when he was able to contact the outside world. At the same time, he sent a letter to the new King of Scotland, Robert II, hoping to reiterate the alliance between the two countries again. It was like a rock and had no effect at all.

In this way, King Arthur basically understood his situation - if he walked, he would walk faster, and if he walked slowly, even his bones would be gnawed completely!

So, when attacking, invading like fire, and when retreating, it was also as fast as the wind. On October 4, Egil's 20,000 troops quietly walked to Nottingham. He was preparing to rest for a night and then left the city to attack the Celtics. However, in this evening, Egil got up during the day and heard the spy leader Wuming gesture there. After knowing that something was wrong, Egil ran towards the city without washing his face. Then he took out a monocular telescope and took out his eyes. There was no hair left in the messy camp...

Afterwards, Egil was excited, "—My wife is gone!" Such words almost blurted out.

Seeing the cooked ducks flying like this, no matter who it was, it would not be in a good mood. Although it would not be as painful as Egil, the more than 22,000 troops of the Vikings and the dwarves (including the original defenders of the castle) held their breath. After having breakfast, they flew lightly and followed the footprints left by the Celtics. At the same time, they also wrote letters to their two allies, briefly telling them what had happened. In the end, they said with a temptation: The Celtics have become frightened birds and are at the end of their strength. This is a proof of the fact that they did not fight. At the same time, the Celtics turned to Britain to attack cities and villages, killing and plundering. So, how many spoils they robbed... are really something worth thinking about.

Allies and friendship are unreliable. So use temptation. Especially the Scots. Although Robert II wanted to launch a foreign war to establish military honors, cover up domestic conflicts and strengthen rule, this time I had no territory for them - in fact, the two pieces of land originally distributed to Scotland. I think it is a bit unworthy now. So if you use the general method, the Scots will definitely only work but not work.

As for another unit... Edward IV, the Black Duke, was even impatient to claim sovereignty over England at this moment - naturally, the sovereignty of the entire England, including Nottingham and York.

I really can't figure it out that Yat-Ting clearly has two big territories in France, Aquitaine and Normandy. Why not get along well in France? The value of the King of France is much greater than that of the King of England.

At this moment, not to mention that Egil was madly there, he led his army to cover up the death. At this time, a large number of transport ships landed on the flat coastline in southern England, and then countless soldiers, knights and longbowmen in armor and armoured with sharp weapons jumped off the ship. Because of the long-term life at sea, these people who were used to land felt very uncomfortable. At this moment, they were still in a trance.

"It's time... Although it's not the first time I've been on a boat, but this feeling is really... Maybe I won't get used to it in my life. Sometimes, I really want a general who is good at naval people often accompany me... King Egil is lucky." At this moment, the black Duke Edward IV sighed like this, then he shook off the support of his guard knight, jumped from the side of the boat to the beach, and then said to General Carter, who took the lead.

General Carter smiled slightly, but ignored Edward IV's words. Instead, he bowed himself and said, "Duke, since the army has landed, the mission has been completed. Please rest assured. As long as we still control the sea surface, the ships transporting supplies will continue to flow. Finally, the Wuyun will be prosperous. See you again."

After saying that, General Carter took a few steps back, then turned around and left.

"...It's really. It's a failure." Edward shook his head a little, and finally, his arm holding the hilt of the sword relaxed.

A little different from other feudal monarchs, Edward IV had barely a clear understanding of the navy. At least, he knew that if a strong enough navy was not supported by an island country, he would be as helpless as a rootless duckweed. If he wanted to firmly hold the throne of England, a powerful enough to block the English Channel and patrol the North Sea navy was also necessary.

So, during this period, Edward IV and General Carter had a lot of exchanges, as if he had vaguely proposed the intention to recruit him many times. However, although Edgeil lost the battle, his prestige - 1 morale - 1 rule - 1 plus a fear of the negative attributes of the Celtics. However, his prestige was barely maintained at a high level. In addition, General Carter was considered a top-level general at least. It was not that he could not buy it, but that he had to put the real money in front of him and begged with good words. It was unlikely that he would want others to take the initiative to surrender if he said such cheap words like Edward IV.

Edward IV sighed for a moment, and knew in his heart that he took the risk of bringing his army here. What happened next depends on luck. The Norwegians controlled their own logistics transportation, which was equivalent to grasping their own lifeline. If England still sang and danced, then Edward IV burned, killed and robbed them all the way, and because the food was against the enemy, it would be natural.

However, the land of England is now being ravaged. Scotland, Norway, and Ireland's "four food is the enemy" like a different way of moving lantern. This is not a Feng Shui treasure land, and crops can grow without any care. Therefore, logistical supply is a great difficulty.

The professional army of Egil's troops naturally have the benefits of professional army - the four-wheel drive carriages are lined up, filled with a large number of luxury goods such as dry meat, sausages, black bread and even wine, followed by the large group of people - this is a systematic benefit. These baggage troops are not included in the number of troops, but they are real. Whether transporting military supplies, building military camps and defense, it is extremely convenient.

In this way, Egil followed him all the way, and the other two reinforcements were from south to north and the other from north to south. They all advanced towards the Wales region. The commanders of the four-nation coalition were all veterans of the battlefield for many years, so they naturally knew the good or bad. They must be sure to intercept the Celtics before retreating into the Welsh forest zone! Otherwise, they would fight against them in the Welsh forest zone. Then those Welsh and wild elves who were proficient in longbow guerrilla skills will inevitably cause a great blow to the coalition!

In this way, one chased and the other escaped. Egil was anxious and red in his eyes, while Artoria was also very nervous. However, the leaders of both sides were in the same mood. The men below were completely different.

All Egil's troops are newly recruited new forces. Whether they are elite knights, Viking warriors, or longbowmen, they all want to make achievements in this battle and take advantage of them. What Egil said about "the Celtics carry a large amount of spoils" is not just for their allies.

But the Celtics were inexplicably aware of Artoria's troops. In order to prevent the morale from being disintegrated, Artoria blocked the news and did not tell the news that the four-nation coalition army was approaching. Therefore, the Celtic soldiers were still immersed in the mentality of sweeping away the British invincible. So, it would be best to go home. But why do you have to go all night without stopping? Slowly, and talk leisurely about life and ideals with the little girl on the roadside. Isn't it good to have a queen's head funny? Or is there someone chasing her behind...

So, when I think about it this way, the Celtics are not fools, so I naturally feel something is wrong. The rumors in the army are increasing, and the three of them are absent today and five of them are tomorrow. Artoria is very worried.

If this continues, I am afraid that before the enemy comes, I will collapse first.

So, how to suppress a group of soldiers?

Queen Artoria was cruel and ruthless, but not just for the enemy. She was also the same for her own people. Under severe punishments, she banned rumors in the army. She also killed several leading people, plus a few arrested people, and announced a reward mechanism for reporting each other. It is stipulated that if any soldier is found to spread rumors or wants to distract him, she can obtain ordinary property. Capturing him can obtain three-quarters of his property. Of course, all of this must be conclusive.

The evidence...conclusive?

In such interests, even if you are a little unconscience-against one or two robes that have helped you block their arrows, what is that? After Artoria stipulated such a decree, the entire Celtic barracks quieted down as quickly as possible. However, at midnight, the low screams in the barracks and the ugly faces of the whistleblower under the dim firelight cast a huge shadow on this quietness.

The undercurrent is surging.

In this case, Egil's army blocked this army with ulterior motives less than five kilometers away from the vast forest of Wales.
