Chapter 322 Chaos in Odessa (5)
With unsolved questions, Xiao Yan rode on the horse and continued to read the rest of the letters. The sharp-eyed Galadia leaned over her head and watched this special task introduction with great interest.
"The third letter from Prince Commod.
“August 11, 1072
Earl Lamore's daughter,
To be honest, our journey was not peaceful. After leaving Dalson, we approached the Windsweep Fort, where clues of Grand Duke Richelieu were hidden. The towns along the way kept asking for help, claiming that they had been attacked by the undead.
According to reports from the royal capital, the Freemasons, which launched rebellions in Odessa and Sevasto, are approaching Fengxi Castle, which makes me and my staff very nervous.
The location of the Wind-Snack Fort was very critical, but the walls were severely damaged in the last war and there were no garrisons. So I immediately asked my subordinates to speed up in order to get there before Masonic.
It turned out I was right, and we arrived just a few hours earlier than the enemy. Despite being very tired and knowing nothing about the enemy, my soldiers were still ready to go. I placed archers and infantry on the plains and ordered the cavalry to wait for orders outside the hills' sight. Thirty cavalrymen lured the enemy into the trap at the front.
After the plan was successful, the Freemasons immediately launched a charge against us, with a total of more than 3,000 people. However, this also shows that they lacked even the most basic common sense and intelligence.
These poorly equipped infantry crowded together to charge at us, which allowed our longbowmen to shoot with perfect bullets. Even the simplest shots were enough to kill them.
When they finally rushed to us, the heavy infantry under Sir York commanded them with long swords, hammers, halberds and shields. At this time, I ordered the cavalry to appear from their hidden places and launch an attack, and charge from behind. The cavalry rushed down the hills and stabbed the enemy's team with long spears and swords.
The battle went very fiercely, but it didn't take long. I must admit that Matsushi would have many brave and tough warriors who performed well. But their stupid tactics doomed their defeat. When the cavalry commanded by Count Wally broke through the rear defense of Matsushi, no matter how hard the rest of the people tried, they could not turn the defeat.
A few hours later we annihilated this unit. A total of 33 soldiers on our side died in battle, and twice the number of people were injured. More than 2,000 of the 3,000 Masonic soldiers were eliminated, and the others escaped from the orchard. At that time, we were unable to chase them. After a while, we set out to track and solve them completely.
You must have wanted to get news of my peace, so I am worried about whether this letter is too intense, but I also know that if I lie to you, it will go against my heart. I trust Lord Doolittle, who is responsible for collecting information about the Masonic and the Undead. After I catch up with the remnants of the Masonic army, I will write to you immediately, and you will receive it within a week. Doolittle is very experienced and should understand how to choose the fastest messenger.
You are faithful,
Commod”

"The situation of this prince is not very good...", Galadia shook her head, "I bet he will soon fall into the ambush of the enemy."
That's right, even if it's just the information revealed in the letter, hasn't the prince found that the situation around him was a bit suspicious? The prince lacked intelligence on the total scale and strategic goals of the enemy. Undead from unknown origins and organized orderly Masonic troops are all difficult to assess for the small number of other troops.
Xiao Yan believed that the prince's better choice should be to sit in Odessa and then dispatch troops to encircle and suppress, rather than running around the ground like a commander with more than a thousand elite soldiers.
"Maybe we will be able to learn more about further information after we meet with Sonia." Xiao Yan put away the prince's copy of the letter and took out Sonia's letter, "We must hurry up and arrive in Green Valley Town."
This letter was sent by Sonya after combining the opinions of her staff. Considering that the two sides were far apart and could not communicate through the team channel, and Sonya entered the world at the same time as Xiao Yan and the others, this letter should be a letter set and sent by the plane world itself, which was used to allow Xiao Yan and the others to grasp the complex situation and background.
"Letter from Sonia de Lamold."
"Griffith, my knight. I haven't seen you for a few days. I hope you are well. Please convey my greetings to the Earl of Conde.
A few days ago, according to the conscript order issued by Prince Commod, troops from all over the country began to gather in Green Valley, preparing to use it as a base to completely eliminate the continuous Masonic rebellions and the undead and orc remnants that were constantly appearing in the wilderness.
My staff told me that a few months earlier, the Masonic rebelled in Odessa and quickly gathered tens of thousands of troops. Although they retreated from Odessa under the encirclement of the regular Romanian army, they still attacked the nobles' estates everywhere. Under the leadership of the leader Thomas Jefferson, the Masonics used firm guerrilla warfare to deal with the kingdom, and colluded with the orcs and human pirates on the sea of Daronmil, and cut off trade between Romania and the dwarf kingdom on the east coast of the sea.
Although the kingdom quickly sent a navy to attack, the pirates avoided fighting and relied on the support of the rebels on the land to repeatedly deal with the Romanian navy, continuing to block the connection between the human kingdom and the dwarf kingdom.
Prince Commod's plan was to remove the threat from the land, and to use Odessa and nearby Wilhelmshaven as the base to send naval forces to completely eliminate the pirates. By then, the pirates without the support from the rear would not be far from the day of their defeat.
Griffith, I am marching towards Green Valley Town with a family army of 3,000 people. The letter attached to the letter with the King of the Kings to me the authorized copy of the troops near Green Valley Town and my own warrant. Please gather the troops near Green Valley Town in my name to wait for my arrival. Our good friend, Miss Elena, the Saint of the Church of Holy Light and her loyal judges, have arrived in advance. Please convey my longing and greetings to her.
Since we entered the Odessa region, a team of black-armored rangers have been wandering around us. Several expulsions organized by the Knights have failed and we have to continue to endure their harassment. The officers all said that if the chief knight of the Lamore family, Griffith, you would not let these cavalry do whatever they want in our ranks. I cannot agree more with their views.
Be sure to be careful, my knight. I feel that the whole thing has many unsettling doubts.
You are sincere
Sonia de Lamore”
When Xiao Yan finished reading the letter, he began to sweat, while Galadia looked at him curiously.
The walls of Green Valley Town are already in front of you. Although they are nominally just towns, Green Valley is the transportation hub and trade center of this area. The Church of Holy Light also has a chapel here.
"Meet Ailena..." Xiao Yan felt that he had a stomachache. As World Three was about to end, Ailena, as a saint, actually kissed him forcibly and then issued a shocking declaration:
"Griffith, remember!"
"The person who took away your first kiss! It's me who loves Lena!"
This is nothing, being kissed by such a beauty is not a loss!
But, Galadia is by my side. If... If...Elena will pounce on her and give herself a passionate kiss...
Oh no~ Xiao Yan couldn't help but cover his face.
