Chapter 226 After the War
The sudden change in weather had some subtle effects on the battle situation.
Prince Kenton led his war horse, walking one step at a time, one step at a time, one step at a time. His luxurious armor with gold and silver inlays had already been taken off and thrown on the horse's back.
"Your Highness, you can ride my horse." A knight took his horse.
"Ha, don't think of me as a spoiled playboy, I am also a warrior." Prince Kenton pushed away the horse rein handed over by the knight.
"But Your Highness, this -"
"If you can walk, I can walk too." Prince Kenton waved his hand and pulled his horse forward.
The knights who can still follow him closely when the army is disbanded are his important foundation, and they can take the initiative to give up their horses to his knights in dangerous situations. Even if they are a bit suspected of flattering, they still have to sacrifice their lives.
As a bet, Prince Kenton is not stupid enough to act like a prince at this time.
"Do you think this rain will be good or bad for us?" Prince Kenton changed the subject.
"Of course it's beneficial. It's better to drag both sides into a physical competition than to compete in combat power."
"Phew, yes -"
Contrary to most people's impressions, knights do not always ride on their horses when marching or escaping for their lives. More often, they would rather lead their horses and walk.
Human endurance far exceeds that of a war horse. If a war horse carries a fully armed knight on its back, the war horse will not be able to last long, and it is not helpful for long-distance walking.
By saving horsepower, you can explode at critical moments and escape danger quickly.
"Report to His Highness the Prince!" A scout rushed back from the front in the heavy rain: "Luokelu Castle is still in our hands!"
"Are you sure?" Prince Kenton was overjoyed at first, then thought of something, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
The turning point of this war was the fall of Luo Kelu Castle, which led to the army being ambushed during its retreat and ultimately defeated.
If Luokelu Castle was in the hands of one of our own people, was the news at that time false? And was he deceived when he made the decision to withdraw the troops based on this?
"I am sure that we have seen Baron Grant. His Excellency the Baron is guarding the gate of Luokelu City." the scout said with certainty.
Originally, it was impossible for a mere castle to have a baron in charge of the city gate, but at this time, Luokelu Castle was in a critical location and had changed hands twice, so everyone was very nervous.
Prince Kenton and his party speed up their march? They no longer care about horsepower and enter Luokelu Castle as quickly as possible.
After freshening up a little, Prince Kenton hurriedly held a meeting.
More than a dozen nobles sat on both sides of the long table, with Prince Kenton sitting alone at the head.
It stands to reason that as the defeated general, Prince Kenton's prestige was greatly reduced, but the two leaders of the local nobles, Earl Radet, died, and Viscount Dios' life or death was uncertain. Only Prince Kenton's status was transcendent.
"What happened in the meantime? How did Rocklu Castle return to our hands?" Prince Kenton asked.
"Your Royal Highness? It was Baron Wells who was responsible for transporting food and bravely recaptured Roquelu Castle? He also captured the Knight of Agra - Prince Rodela, the first heir of the Kingdom of Rumus." A palace noble quickly put himself
Tell me what you know about the situation.
Prince Kenton was overjoyed.
These days, the title of prince itself is not particularly valuable, but the first heir of the kingdom is very important.
This status is so important that Prince Kenton even wants to eat the Agra knight alive, but when Agra has the status of the first heir of the Kingdom of Rumus? Prince Kenton will call him Prince Lodra.
Even if he wants to chop off Prince Rodela's head at the next moment? He cannot directly insult him.
"Great, where is Prince Rodela? I want to see him now! By the way, why didn't Baron Wells show up here?"
"Baron Wells locked Prince Rodela in the south tower of the castle and refused to hand over the prisoner." A palace noble who was already in the castle said.
"Your Highness? We need Prince Lodra as a bargaining chip." said a knight who followed the prince into the castle.
"Who will invite Baron Wells? Let me talk to him - credit will be generously rewarded? But at this time, the overall situation should be taken into consideration." Prince Kenton ordered.
The nobles who entered the castle earlier looked at me and I looked at you, but no one answered - everyone had already been rejected.
The hall fell into silence for a moment.
"Huh?" Prince Kenton felt something was wrong.
"Your Royal Highness? Baron Wells has let go of a knight under Prince Lodra. He is very likely to--" a nobleman said with a sigh.
"Nonsense - how dare he do this? How many soldiers does Baron Wells have?" Prince Kenton said angrily.
Of course he couldn't remember such a small thing? But if Baron Wells was strong, he wouldn't have been assigned to the logistics department in the first place.
"Your Highness, Baron Wells doesn't have many soldiers, but Baron Wells -"
"What's up with him?"
"If the information we got is correct, Baron Wells single-handedly killed Prince Lodra's soldiers, captured the castle and captured Prince Lodra - he may have become a legend."
——————————————
The war ended in an anticlimax - Gao Han didn't care much about the follow-up development, and even made his bodyguard Gu Bo a knight and attended many subsequent negotiation meetings on his behalf.
Viscount Dios died in the battle, Earl Radet died in the battle, and Prince Kenton was defeated.
However, since he captured Prince Lodra and recaptured Rocklu Castle, Prince Kenton had enough time to gather the defeated army and at least retained half of the strength of the expeditionary force.
Coupled with the second wave of reinforcements from the Kingdom of Morast, the two sides resolved the issue through negotiations after a month-long confrontation near Luokelu Castle.
The Dukedom of Gela was merged into the Kingdom of Rumus.
After joining the Kingdom of Rumus, almost all the Duke of Gera and his immediate family members died. Many people said that it was the black hands of the Kingdom of Rumus. However, the person who inherited the Dukedom of Gera was not any nobleman of the Kingdom of Rumus, but the eldest son of Duke of Gera.
an illegitimate son of.
This kind of thing is rare in a hundred years - the Duke is not a small noble like a baron, but a super noble who can be on an equal footing with the king. No illegitimate child has ever been able to reach such a height in one step.
From this point of view, the Dukedom of Guerra is still an independent duchy, at least in name.
Although the war failed, the situation of the Morast royal family has improved.
Viscount Dios and Earl Radet both died, and the strength of the local nobles was greatly reduced. The royal family took the opportunity to expand, annexing several territories and further confirming the authority of the royal family.
But the Kingdom of Rumusi has now expanded to its doorstep, and the Morast royal family does not dare to act recklessly. The first priority is to deal with the outside world.
Baron Wells, who lives in seclusion and is believed by both the Kingdom of Morast and the Kingdom of Rumus, to be very likely to have entered the realm of legend, was promoted to the rank of Marquis without attending any meetings, and his territory was
It only tripled, but he had a city of his own.
In the eyes of others, Baron Wells was successful and established a foundation that could establish a noble family for generations to come.
