The entire battlefield was plunged into chaos, the remnants of the rebels were defeated and fled, and the balance of victory had fully tilted in favor of the KPA.Winnie, who was hovering high in the air, reported the battle situation to the Fengsui Castle side by wireless telephone, and upon learning of the news, the commander of the artillery battalion, Blue, immediately ordered the shelling to be stopped.Next, Viscount Jarvis led the People's Army to clean up the mess and captured many rebels, including Duke Edward, who had fallen off his horse and knocked his head and fainted.Sadly, another mastermind nobleman involved in the rebellion, Duke Lehmann, escaped by chance.In addition, KPA extinguished the fires that ravaged the rebel camps, collected enemy weapons and supplies, and provided humanitarian treatment to wounded soldiers.It took a total of three days before the KPA cleared the battlefield and escorted the captives back to Fengsui City.During this period, the second group of KPA ships arrived at Fengsui City one after another, and nearly 7,000 soldiers were assembled in the barracks outside the city.In the barracks' central tent, Owen, Viscount Jarvis, and a group of senior officers sat around a table to recall the military meeting to discuss the follow-up reconquest.Glancing around the people present, Owen spoke: "In the battle that ended not long ago, the People's Army has achieved a great victory, and the rebel nobles in the west and north have been greatly damaged, one of the masterminds, Duke Edward, has now been captured, and the other mastermind, Duke Lyman, seems to have fled back to Dragon's Tooth Ridge.The enthronement ceremony will be in the middle of next month, and before that, are you confident of recovering the remaining territories?
”"Of course, Your Majesty."
Viscount Jarvis put on a serious face and solemnly promised: "Before the enthronement ceremony, our People's Army will definitely complete the great cause of the unification of the Dawnlight Kingdom and hand over all the land to you, inch by inch. ”"Your Majesty, please give instructions!"
Kadir also assured, "We will successfully complete the task you have delivered!"
”Due to his outstanding performance and achievements during last year's counteroffensive against the subhuman union, Kadir has long been promoted to battalion commander."
Good."
Owen nodded in satisfaction, and then slowly explained the follow-up battle plan to everyone."
In order to recover the nobles' territories as soon as possible, I have decided to divide the KPA troops into two routes, one to the west and the other to the south, and to launch military operations at the same time......
"The KPA gathered in Fengsui City will be divided into two forces, the first with 2,500 troops and the other with 4,500 men.A force of 2,500 men, led by Owen, went to attack Longya Ridge and the surrounding area, and captured the fugitive rebel mastermind, Duke Leman.Another force of 4,500 men, led by Viscount Jarvis, led Duke Edward south, entered and controlled the city he managed, and then used it as a base to launch a military campaign to regain the western border.After determining the overall battle plan, Owen discussed other matters in the plan in detail with the others.Two days later, in the early morning, the KPA was divided into two units according to the battle plan, carrying the necessary ammunition and supplies, and set off in a majestic manner, leaving Fengsui City to carry out their respective tasks.…… Dragon's Tooth Ridge, Lord's Castle.Duke Leman sat down in his chair dejectedly, his right hand propped up his head, and from time to time let out a long sigh.For the first time in his life, he suffered a major setback since he lost that fight, and he became devastated by it.In that battle, many elite knights were lost, and it was not easy to concentrate their efforts to create so many muskets and cannons, and now there are less than fifty muskets and three cannons left in the entire Dragon's Tooth Ridge.Duke Edward is also nowhere to be found, I don't know if he died on the battlefield, or was he captured by the puppet king's army?
The other nobles who escaped were also devastated, and lost the desire to continue fighting against the puppet king.In short, the situation is very bad.After seeing the strong strength of the puppet king's army, Duke Lyman, who fled back, couldn't think of any way to deal with it, no matter how hard he thought about it.Damn it!
The puppet king's army is too strong, it's completely useless.Duke Lyman knew very well in his heart that he was one of the masterminds who gathered all the nobles to unite to rebel against the puppet king, and the other party would definitely not let him go.Can you only run away?
But the entire territory of the Dawnlight Kingdom is about to fall into the hands of the puppet king, where can he flee to?
That's right!
Popon Empire!
Duke Lyman sat up slightly and turned his head to look at the window to the west, looking out at the sky in the distance.In order to survive, why not defect to another country?
Moreover, Duke Lyman has a lot of information about the puppet king's army, as well as a detailed map of the Dawnlight Kingdom, etc., and maybe the emperor will agree to take him in in exchange for this information.Sell the country, sell the country, anyway, you are about to lose everything, since you can't get what you want, then find ways to harm it.Thinking of this, Duke Lyman had a sinister evil smile on his face."
Abominable pseudo-king, don't think that you can sit back and relax by eliminating the aristocratic forces in the country, I will definitely not let you have a good time!""
Father."
At this moment, the eldest son of the Duke of Leman opened the door, walked in, and asked, "The fortifications outside the city have been urgently built, do you want to check them out?"
”"No need."
In the face of the powerful firepower of the puppet king's army, the role of these fortifications is better than nothing, and Duke Lyman knows this very well, so he doesn't bother to check it."
And ......"
"Lord Duke!
Big things are not good!
”Before he finished speaking, a knight hurriedly broke into the room and reported to Duke Lyman: "According to the scout in front, they have seen the puppet king's army coming towards Dragon's Tooth Ridge. ”The army of the puppet king is finally here!
Duke Lyman abruptly stood up from his seat, turned his head to look at the knight, and ordered: "You first bring the knights and guards over, prepare for defensive battles, and be sure to defend the east gate by all means." ”"Understood!"
The knight took over the task and hurried out of the room."
Father, let's hurry over too."
The eldest son of Duke Lyman was also mentally prepared to go to war."
No, let them defend the East Gate."
Duke Lyman shook his head and said, "My son, you hurry up and tell the guards to prepare a few carriages, pick up your mother and brother in the carriages, and bring some valuables, and we will escape through the west gate." ”"Huh?"
The eldest son looked puzzled, "Why did you abandon Longya Ridge?"
Moreover, to the west, it was the territory of the Popon Empire. ”"We're going to flee to the Popon Empire."
Bypassing the table, Duke Lyman walked up to his son and said very seriously: "Listen, my son, you haven't experienced the battle that your father defeated not long ago, and you don't know how powerful the puppet king's army is.Dragon's Tooth Ridge is absolutely undefinable, and in order to survive, we can only flee and seek refuge from the Emperor. ”"But......"
The eldest son was about to say something, but was interrupted by Duke Leman."
Nothing better!"
In an almost commanding tone, he said, "Hurry up!"
”"Yes, father."
In the end, the eldest son chose to obey his father's orders.After the eldest son left the room, Duke Lyman turned around and went to pack his belongings, and some important things, such as a map of the Morning Kingdom, must be taken with him, so that he could sacrifice them to please the Emperor.When everything was ready, Duke Lyman and his family got into a carriage and quietly left the West Gate with a batch of precious possessions and fled to the Popon Empire.
