Ironvine Territory (Seventy-Nine)

Victor explained the principles and origins of the Blazefire Gel to Knight Yellen. After listening, Knight Yellen was deeply impressed by the powerful foundation of the Golden Sunflower Family. Even the Great Oak Territory did not possess such a capability to research and manufacture weapons.

Despite his envy, Knight Yellen understood that Great Oak Territory couldn't adopt the same model as Two Rivers Territory. The best craftsmen in Great Oak Territory were those in the shipyard, and they didn't have the capability.

Knight Yellen exclaimed, "With such a terrifying weapon, no enemy can stand against us!"

After hearing this, Victor started coughing, and it took him a while to stop. "Sorry, Yellen, I choked a little."

However, what you said is a bit off-topic. This kind of Blazefire Gel is still very imperfect. Although it is much safer to transport than gunpowder, it is still not so easy.

Moreover, the production cost was very high. The six canisters we launched this time were all we carried, and we never had any more after that.

Moreover, this weapon is not very effective against tall stone walls, nor can it be used against moving targets, since moving is very troublesome. In most cases, it can only be used against stationary targets, which limits its use.

Yellen understood Victor's words. Upon reflection, she realized it wasn't as useful as she had imagined, but the fact that it had played a role in this battle was already quite good.

"Alright, Yellen, we should move on. If you're interested, I can invite you to visit Two Rivers Territory after the Civil War is over."

"Really? Thank you so much, Viscount Victor."

Knight Yellen jumped up and down excitedly; he was now very interested in the opportunity to visit the Two Rivers Territory.

After clearing away the remaining wooden stakes from the camp wall, Victor and his men, along with Baron Brown's convoy, continued their advance toward the inner camp of the Fourth Legion.

They arrived at the foot of an arrow tower, where the Fourth Legion's garrison had long since fled, leaving the tower completely deserted.

Michael, accompanied by several guards, personally climbed the arrow tower, surveyed the area, and reported to Victor, "My lord, this should be the place."

Victor nodded, then ordered the flag bearer to raise his Golden Sunflower battle flag to the top of the arrow tower.

By this time, the sun had already risen halfway above the horizon, and half the sky was already bright. After the Golden Sunflower battle flag was raised, the troops in this camp could see it.

Baron Brown then immediately ordered the convoy to begin work. The accompanying soldiers began dismantling the wagons, removing the Bed Crossbow and Catapult, and setting up positions below the arrow towers.

Knight Yellen asked Victor curiously, "Viscount Victor, what are you doing?"

"This location is a high point in the camp; look, isn't this a small mound?"

Sure enough, after careful observation, Knight Yellen found that it was indeed a small mound, and the camp could be seen far away just by standing under the arrow tower.

He suddenly pointed to a spot where flames were shooting into the sky and said, "That should be the gate to this inner camp. I guess our army is fighting the Duchy Army for the gate. It looks fierce."

Victor took out a map to compare, then nodded. "Not bad, Yellen, your sense of direction is excellent; you can spot people from this far away."

Now that they can see my battle flag, their morale should be boosted.

Yellen nodded in agreement, but then seemed to remember something. "However, Viscount Victor, isn't this a bit too ostentatious? The enemy will probably see it too!"

No, I'll immediately notify my troops to return here to protect you. We can't let them continue their pursuit.

"There's no need, Yellen. I'm safe. Baron Brown's troops are with me!"

Baron Brown, standing right next to the two men, naturally overheard their conversation. He quickly replied, "Yes, Knight Yellen, my troops are here, along with those Bed Crossbow on the high ground. With them, I can firmly control this area."

Meanwhile, to the east, James's troops successfully broke through the side gate. The Fourth Legion had few defenders left there, and after offering only symbolic resistance, they fled.

This disappointed many soldiers in James's unit, since for these soldiers, there was no merit without fighting.

Just as James was planning to lead the team further into the territory, he stumbled upon a battle flag.

"That's the Golden Sunflower Crest, Victor's battle flag!"

James quickly picked up the binoculars again to confirm, and it was indeed what he had seen.

After confirming that the battle flag was real, James immediately turned the team around and headed towards Victor and his group.

"Everyone, speed up! Have the Cavalry take a group of men ahead first. Make sure the lord's safety is guaranteed."

Understand? Everyone, start running.

Similarly, when the Golden Sunflower battle flag was raised, the Duchy Army deep within the camp also spotted it.

At this moment, Ursus was looking at the battle flag with a puzzled expression. Ursus's adjutant looked at the serious-faced Legion Commander and asked, "Legion Commander, the enemy's battle flag should be that of the Viscount Golden Sunflower. Does that mean that the Viscount himself is there?"

"It should be, but that's not important. Even if it isn't, we still need to take some action."

"Pass the order down, and our army will march there immediately. If it really is that Viscount Golden Sunflower, this could be our chance to turn the tide of battle."

"But what about the camp gate? The enemy's attack there is extremely fierce."

If we launch a full-scale attack, many of these troops were originally intended to be deployed Reserve Force at the main gate. What if they can't go and the gate falls?

"If the enemy manages to breach our defenses, we're truly doomed!"

"Even if we keep the gate in its current state, it won't make much difference. The enemy won't put all their eggs in one basket. Where do you think the enemy there came from?"

After speaking, Ursus pointed to the Golden Sunflower battle flag. The adjutant immediately understood that the seemingly impregnable wall had been breached, and he had no further objections.

The Duchy Army, which had quickly assembled in the vicinity, marched straight toward Victor's position under Ursus's command.

As time passed, it became bright daylight, and the Sun had fully risen. The battle within the camp had now reached a fever pitch.

The fiercest fighting took place at the gate of the Fourth Legion's inner camp, where the main force of the night raid troops and the main force of the remnants of the Fourth Legion were gathered. Tens of thousands of troops from both sides clashed fiercely, creating a deafening roar. The battlefield was exceptionally stalemated.

Ron stared anxiously at the front lines, where the infantry formations of both sides were tangled up, and the ranged archers dared not fire their arrows.

The only good news, however, is that the Southern Marching Legion's infantry phalanxes are superior and are gradually pushing the Fourth Legion's phalanxes back.

However, Ron also saw the Golden Sunflower battle flag at this moment. He felt that his army was still too slow. They had been fighting here for so long, but they still hadn't made any substantial breakthrough, and the gate hadn't been captured yet.

But the lord, with only a detachment, easily stormed into the enemy's Main Camp.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, Lenster found him. "General Ron, this can't go on. The enemy is very difficult to deal with and very resilient. We can't break through in a short time."

"Lenster, please speak your mind. Before the battle, Lord Victor asked me to cooperate with you, since you are more familiar with the situation here."

After listening, Lenster fell silent. He also saw the Golden Sunflower battle flag. Based on his understanding of Victor was right below the flag and would probably be surrounded by enemy troops soon.

Victor had also made prior requests to his subordinates to fully cooperate with his actions. Victor had gone to such lengths to support the Ironvine Territory, which made Lenster extremely grateful to him.

Lens gritted his teeth. "General Ron, you take your troops and leave. Make sure to protect Viscount Victor. Leave this place to me and the Coalition of Nobles. I promise I won't let the enemy troops leave."

"But did Viscount Victor give me these orders?"

"Follow my instructions. Isn't this what Viscount Victor requested?"

My current plan is for you to immediately take your men and go to support Viscount Victor. As long as the Viscount is safe, victory will surely be ours!

Ron looked at Lenster with a serious expression. Seeing Lenster's resolute expression, he could only nod. "I understand!"

Ron no longer hesitated and began to withdraw his troops from the front line, while Lenster led his troops to the front. At first, they were pushed back far by the Duchy Army because they did not gain a firm foothold, and lost their earlier advantage. Fortunately, they managed to hold on in the end.

Seeing the balanced situation on the battlefield, Ron knew that Lenster was really fighting desperately, so he did not hesitate any longer and immediately led his troops to charge towards the battle flag.

Meanwhile, the other Duchy Army in the camp also received orders from Ursus to immediately attack the location where the Golden Sunflower battle flag was flying; if they could capture it, they would win the battle.

The entire camp was filled with smoke and dust as both the night raiding force of the Southern Marching Legion and the Duchy Army advanced toward the same goal.
