As night fell, the camp was lit with blazing flames. Viscount Miles and a group of nobles who had taken refuge in him gathered in the gorgeous tent. It could be seen that many nobles were not adapted to this environment. If possible, they would prefer to stay in the warm beds in their own territory.
Unfortunately, in order to ensure victory, Viscount Miles asked them all to follow him to the battlefield.
"It's only July and it's already so cold."
Some nobles sighed with emotion, shook their heads and hid in the tent, wrapping themselves tightly in their bearskin cloaks.
"Lord Viscount, Viscount Dragoon's soldiers are beyond our imagination. He actually has three thousand trained soldiers. Even if you have Zero Crossing City, you still can't train so many soldiers."
Baron Evra said, and then received several unkind looks from around Viscount Miles.
From the perspective of several descendants of Viscount Miles, is this because they are dissatisfied with the Miles Family for not having so many soldiers?
"This is imaginary. Dragoon Family's territory has the most abundant mineral resources in Zero Crossing Prefecture. They sold the forged iron to South who lacked Iron Ore, earning a lot of Gold Coin."
Baron Kendra said regretfully.
"But now, how do we win?"
Baron Evra spoke, leaving many nobles silent. Although they did not know much about military affairs, the knights under their command still told them that if the same thing happened tomorrow, they would probably lose the war.
Viscount Dragoon has a more powerful army than them. This is what everyone discovered today, as well as Baron Enzo. Now everyone understands why Viscount Miles's second son lost so miserably.
If it were them... these nobles would certainly not admit it.
"Don't worry, we will win."
Viscount Miles said, making everyone look over in surprise.
"Mr. Viscount, you still have Magic Scroll that you haven't used up yet?"
Baron Evra said in surprise.
"You'll know tomorrow."
Viscount Miles did not continue, and the other nobles could only guess on their own.
The arrival of the next day made the atmosphere in Ice Peak Forest tense again. This time Viscount Dragoon was in high spirits, and he decided to decide the ownership of this piece of the Forest today.
"We'll drive that old guy Miles back today, and then we'll take over his city. It's time for Zero Crossing Prefecture to be replaced by a new governor."
Wearing aristocratic robes, Viscount Dragoon looked at his child.
"Enzo, you are a noble, please don't go to the battlefield today."
Baron Enzo shook his head and said:
"No, Father, I want my glory on the battlefield."
Dragon didn't say anything after hearing this, just like what he said, Enzo is no longer just his son, but also a noble Baron, a noble like him.
It's just that... I'm a little more keen on fighting.
——
"Kill!"
"The glory of victory belongs to Dragon!"
"Kill all our enemies and we will get snow-white milk and a house that will not leak!"
On the battlefield, soldiers from both sides once again charged fearlessly. The soil of this valley was soaked with blood, and the reserve soldiers around the two viscounts also continued to fill the millstone of flesh and blood.
"Lord Viscount, I can't hold it any longer!"
Beside Viscount Miles, a knight with bloodstained armor returned and said to the old Viscount in embarrassment.
"Soon."
Viscount Miles the Sun looked at the sky, just hanging high above his head.
"Send them a message."
Viscount Miles looked at his youngest son Rag.
"As you command, Father."
Magic Scroll was torn apart, and an illusory eagle flew into the distance. Soon after, the end of the world in the distance was gradually blocked by tall figures.
Looking at the dazzling Thunder Banner, many nobles opened their eyes wide.
"That's...Count Weiss's army!"
Evra and other nobles looked at Viscount Miles in horror.
"Viscount, you actually contacted Count Weiss!"
Viscount Miles looked at the noble and smiled.
"Why are you so shocked?"
"Count Weiss is also a great noble of Northwind Province, and now, the earl is our friend, and he will bring us victory and wealth."
Hearing this, the eyes of other nobles also lit up.
Indeed, if we can win this war that is already about to be lost, then... it is not impossible to give some to Count Weiss.
Rumble.
In front of the army arriving from afar, the tall cans chopped off the axes in their hands, the trees also broke, and a complete passage was quickly cleared.
Two thousand soldiers rushed to the battlefield in the valley, and the voices of Silver Knight Artel·Ves riding war horses roared over the battlefield.
"Viscount Dragoon, you betrayed the friendship between nobles and started a war against the nobles of the empire. In the name of Count Weiss, I order you to withdraw your troops!"
"Count Weiss's army?"
Viscount Dragoon looked at the sudden surge of troops on the battlefield in shock, and the next moment he became extremely angry.
"That old guy Miles actually gave away the wealth belonging to Zero Crossing Prefecture to others!"
He clenched his fists and took out the Knight's Greatsword in his hands.
"Even the earl cannot rob the wealth that belongs to us. Soldiers, charge!!!"
The cavalry beside him were heading towards the battlefield. Viscount Dragoon, with bloodshot eyes, was looking into the distance, as if he wanted to see the face of that old guy Miles. On the battlefield, the strength of both sides began to pour towards Viscount Miles.
Enzo jumped off the horse and slashed forward with the knight's sword, but a huge battle ax fell and he had to block the knight's sword horizontally. However, his expression changed drastically the next moment.
Seeing "Giants" in front of him who was two heads taller than himself, Enzo was extremely shocked.
"Why is the power so terrifying?"
He clearly sensed that there was no fighting spirit in the opponent's body, which meant that this was not even a warrior like Bronze Knight, but he actually surpassed him in strength.
Under the pressure of the five iron cans around him, Enzo kept retreating. His arms were numb and trembling slightly.
"Master Baron, retreat, these 'monsters' are too powerful."
The surrounding knight guards fought desperately towards this side, trying to protect their lord, but they also faced attacks from other tall warriors.
The giant ax can even cut down trees, and even if the armor on these knights can withstand it, the huge force will make them lose all combat effectiveness.
"No retreat!"
Baron Enzo gritted his teeth and roared, only he knew that in this war, he had already given everything he had.
"Keep killing!"
He roared loudly, but the next moment, the giant ax above his head fell and bounced off his knight's sword.
Seeing that the giant ax was about to hit him, Baron Enzo was also terrified at this moment. However, at the next moment, a "short spear" as thick as a thumb flew over from nowhere and stabbed straight into the neck of "Giants" in front of him.
Blood spurted out on Baron Enzo's face. He turned his head and looked in the direction where the "short spear" was flying, and saw figures reining in their horses on the hillside above the valley on the side. The "short spear" was the sharp arrow shot from the longbow in the hand of the nobleman.
He stood with his back to the slanting sunlight, making it difficult for people to see his appearance.
