You guessed the beginning, but Lorne could use the power of the local nobles of the Morris family to erase the whereabouts of his army.
How could those heretics disappear without a trace in a newly occupied area?
And why do they have to hide their strength?
They have guns and cannons and can completely push their opponents.
Isn't this a bit unnecessary?
Even if he knew that the North would rescue the Morris family, Lorne did not believe that the people in Glory City would be worried about a group of strong men from the North wearing armor and wielding swords.
Since it wasn't because of the sudden addition of the Clark family, then the other party hid their main force because of him who also came here secretly.
"Asshole, there are traitors in the north.
Those heretics know that I have arrived."
Don't say that it was Lorn who thought so.
Even Sophia found the abnormal behavior of the heretics problematic, but they didn't say it, and Lorn was more difficult to deal with it.
Rough.
Turning to Sophia, he ordered: "Write a letter to Celine and ask her to find out who is holding me back.
Let her handle everything below the earl.
If they are above the earl, when I go back, I will publicly execute them for treason."
The crime of treason is a new law issued by Lorne in response to the invasion of heretics.
Also suffering from the heresy, Natalie rarely agreed with Lorne's approach.
Those who cooperate with heretics should indeed be publicly hanged for treason.
But now is definitely not the time to pursue this.
Finding out the whereabouts of the heretics and thwarting their actions to occupy Morris Territory are the top priorities.
Even if Natalie was not from Lorne, the Holy Knight Commander still had to speak.
"You have to execute those who betrayed the empire.
That will happen later.
If the main force of the heresy is really hiding, you have to find a way to find them."
With the whereabouts of the main heresy unknown, no matter what Lorne did, it would be very dangerous.
Needless to say from Natalie, he himself had to find the Li family members.
The Li family's hidden target can only be him.
Assuming that they are not with the frontline troops, the places where people from Brilliant City can go are very limited.
Pretending to be an ordinary civilian and a troop responsible for escorting logistics, whether Lorne planned to join the war halfway or cut off their logistics, the heretic could respond with ease.
Not much different from what Lorne guessed, the Li family had indeed disguised the main force.
But that's not all.
It's a bit strange for two Class A divisions and one Class B division to pretend to be civilians.
Therefore, Li Anjie and Li Anbang were divided into one front and one back.
Li Anbang led his own division and a second-level division to guard their logistics base, while Li Anjie pretended to be a transporting unit and continued to do transportation work between John and Li Anbang.
With the strength of a Class A division, Li Anjie felt that he was fully capable of defeating Lorne.
Because according to the information they received, Lorne only brought about 20,000 troops.
When the numbers were the same, Li Anjie couldn't think of the possibility of failure.
Even if he knew that the soldiers under Lorne's command might be abnormal, with weapons more advanced than flintlock rifles and without the assistance of artillery, he was sure that he could defeat those desperate northerners.
If Li Anjie really understood the characteristics of transforming people, maybe he wouldn't be so confident.
Similarly, Lorne guessed the general movements of the main force of the Li family, but he only thought that the heretics were still using flintlock guns, and he did not know his enemies well enough.
The collision between them is bound to surprise both parties.
But before that, both sides believed that victory was theirs.
Especially Lorne, who took over the local news network of the Morris family, finally found out about the situation of the Li family.
"Those abominable heretics are actually pretending to be civilians and want to lure me into taking the bait.
Then I'll just come to the encirclement to help."

In terms of tactical arrangements, Lorne has always had the final say.
But in order to facilitate his movement, the troops he led were basically transformed people.
The number was not large enough, so it was naturally impossible to surround John.
So, he continued.
"Inform Marquis Clark and the Morris family to use all their forces to surround the army without firearms.
I don't ask them to defeat it.
Even if they can win, don't push too hard.
In addition, give Marquis Clark a few Go to my flag.
I must let those heretics know that I have arrived.
I want to see if they who are eager to harvest the fruits of victory can still face my attack calmly."
No matter what the heretic's plan was, it must have been when Elon didn't know that they had a back-up plan.
Once the important target of Lorne appears, they will definitely rush in as quickly as possible to attack Earl Fast's elite.
In order to give them enough convenience in terms of time, Lorne also deliberately chose to let Marquis Clark start taking action after the Li family's team responsible for escorting supplies set off.
After suffering the loss last time, the Marquis will naturally not play any more testing tricks.
They used the attack formation that the Northern Knights are best at, charging a large number of cavalry.
How could these newly formed troops be able to withstand it.
Even with the words and deeds of John, who was also from the north, these Imperial people who had never seen a large number of cavalry charges were still inevitably defeated.
Although it was only partial, with the assistance of the Morris family, John's advancing team was finally interrupted.
Moreover, in order to make his appearance more realistic, Lorne specially sent a group of reinforcements to Marquis Clark.
The heavy armored cavalry regiment composed entirely of knights became the last straw for John.
Fortunately, the most important thing in Brilliant City was the discipline of the army.
A partial defeat could not completely defeat them, and it did not require John to specifically gather them.
After retreating to the recently occupied city, they still had tens of thousands of soldiers.
But looking at the banner representing the Habs family in the distance, he knew very well that it was simply impossible to turn defeat into victory with the power in his hands.
However, John was opposed to Misio's proposal to find reinforcements and report that Lorne had appeared.
First of all, asking for help means that you are incompetent, which is far from John's original intention.
Secondly, John only discovered the flag of the Habs family but did not see Lorne at all.
To say that Lorne had arrived, he actually had some doubts.
It's a pity that John is a newcomer in Brilliant City after all.
If an irreversible accident occurs because of his obstruction, his career in the Li family will end here
