It was already half an hour after sending the drinkers away. It was hard for this man to be so eloquent that he could tell that Carlo was interested in Allen's affairs, so he talked about Allen's tit-for-tat confrontation with Sir Granville at the dinner party until Allen led his army directly into Daniel's territory and took down Sunset City overnight. After that, he did not forget to add his various opinions about the Sir, but he was naturally sent away by the impatient Carlo.
Carlo seemed to be in a good mood as he ate several steaks in a row. It wasn't until there were as many as five pots stacked up that he was full. He patted his stomach and cursed, "Damn it, this is the fullest meal I've had since the damned Naga people knocked the sea down. Even though their food is terrible, forget it. "
That day, when he encountered the Naga people's underwater palace, Carlo's ship was sunk by the Naga people's raised super sea demon, Mograine, in just three or two encounters. When they fell into the water, apart from a few experts, ordinary experts would not be a match for the Naga people if they fell into the water. Moreover, almost all the Naga warriors who came out of the underwater palace were from the royal family. The combat strength of the royal elites was not something ordinary warriors could compare to. Even with Carlo's audacity, he could only escape with Blood Fang Knight and three or five of his trusted aides.
After luckily escaping ashore, Carlo took Ark Harbor, clearly intending to vent his anger on Allen. According to Carlo's logic, the reason why he had encountered such a bad luck was all thanks to Allen. Not only had he not caught the Naga people, even the Wave Breaker had sunk. If he didn't capture Allen, he really couldn't think of how to explain it to his father.
Thus, regardless of Blood Fang Knight's objection, Carlo finally arrived at Ark Harbor.
Now that he knew where Allen was going, Carlo began to plan. Blood Fang Knight reminded, "Young Master, since the other party is with the army, it will be very difficult for us to do anything. In my opinion, we should return to Killer Whale Harbor first before making any plans. This failure is not Young Master's responsibility. Lord Eric will not blame you. "
"Shut up!" Carlo glared at the Knight and said, "If we don't capture this Allen, Father won't be able to explain it to the people above, understand? Not only do I want to vent my anger, but it also concerns my father. "
"If that's the case, we should go back and gather an army here. Only then will we have a chance of winning."
"Go back. Do you know how long it takes to go there and back? If that Allen had already left Ark Harbor, how would I settle the score with him? "Carlo snorted coldly," And didn't you hear just now? Oban, that stupid count, only gave that Allen a miscellaneous soldier. Do you think a cannon fodder unit can scare me? "
The Bloodfang Knight tried his best to say, "Young Master, this is not a wise choice."
"Is that so? I think we can take this opportunity to give these countryside nobles a shock so that they know that although the power of Killer Whale Harbor cannot reach such a far place, it is not something they can afford to offend! "Carlo slapped the table and said resolutely.
Seeing that he was determined to do so, the Blood Fang Knight could only sigh in his heart, but he stopped trying to persuade him. Even though they had a special status under Earl Eric's forces, they didn't have to be used as tools for battle like the other Knight. However, now that he had spoken up to this point, he had already done his part. If he interfered with Carlo's decision again, he would have crossed the wireless boundary of being a subordinate.
It was also dusk, but Allen didn't have time to eat dinner. He had just returned from the barracks. After temporarily recruiting three hundred strong recruits, the barracks in Sunset City seemed a little crowded. In the past, the training of recruits could be left to Roy or Broy, but now that neither of them was by his side, Allen could only act as half an instructor.
After all, Belmore wasn't the type to lead troops to war. Regis was more inclined to personal strength, even though both of them had guided Dark Blade. But that was a special force, which was very different from training a regular army. Therefore, Allen could only do it himself. Where he couldn't take care of it, he would be replaced by the original officers of Sunset City.
The training of recruits could not be carried out in a short period of time. If they followed the regular procedures, they would need at least three months of regular training. Right now, Allen didn't have that much time to train these soldiers, so Allen simplified his saber techniques into a few simple and ruthless attacks and taught them to the soldiers. After that, the officers were asked to let the soldiers practice repeatedly until their bodies remembered these movements.
Although Sunset City could not be considered wealthy, it had a few iron mines, so there were some good weapons in the armory. For example, Allen extracted a batch of short axes and assigned them to the King Of Mountains warriors. Each King Of Mountains warrior was given five such axes, and Allen asked Belmore to teach them how to throw axes. Belmore was helpless. He was good at throwing throwing knives, which was completely different from throwing axes.
However, he did not refuse Allen's request. After playing with a few axes for a day, Belmore figured out a few throwing movements and taught them to the King Of Mountains warriors. After practice, the King Of Mountains warriors were able to throw axes in a straight line with maximum strength and speed. At a distance of twenty meters, axes could penetrate standard armor.
Once used on a large scale, the power would naturally be extraordinary. As a result, the King Of Mountains warriors also had the advantage of suppressing them from afar. However, Allen did not bring many King Of Mountains warriors, and people with exceptionally strong physiques like them were not easy to recruit. Therefore, the King Of Mountains's axe rain tactics could only play a role in local suppression.
Returning to the City Lord\'s Mansion, Belmore handed a piece of information to Allen. The information was gathered by Dark Blade. After taking over Sunset City, Dark Blade was sent out by Allen. They were responsible for going a hundred kilometers deep into the territory and monitoring the movements of Dawn Castle. Now that Daniel\'s army was restrained by Ou Ban, if the viscount wanted to attack Sunset City, then he could use Dawn Castle or Bauhinia, which were two pretty good armies.
Among them, Dawn Castle was the closest to Sunset City. It was about a hundred kilometers away, and the army could arrive within three days. Therefore, Allen focused on monitoring the movements of Dawn Castle, and Dark Blade did not disappoint. Soon, information was sent back.
Looking at the information, Allen said in a low voice, "We are going to have a war soon."
Belmore wasn\'t surprised at all, but Sir Tuomen frowned deeply. What he didn\'t want to see the most had happened. Even though it wasn\'t the Unicorn Legion that had come, Tuomen still felt a little embarrassed facing the army of Dawn Castle.
"Get the people below ready. This time, it\'s not Dawn Castle. There\'s also Baron Bauhinia Oru\'s army." Allen said after putting down the information.
"If they join forces, there will be at least two thousand of them. Even if we add the recruits, we are still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers." Tuomen said with a bitter expression.
"If it\'s just numbers, it\'s not impossible." Allen looked at the baron and said, "I\'ve read about Sunset City before. Sunset City is located in Cloud Valley, and there are still hundreds of coolies. If we include them, we won\'t be much worse than the two allied armies. "
"Lord Allen is going to use coolies as well," said Tuomen in surprise. "Isn\'t this a little militaristic?"
Allen laughed and said, "Don\'t worry, Sir Tuomen. I\'m not so stupid as to think that a few hundred coolies can fight against a regular army. I just need them to make up the numbers and put on a show. As for the rest, I have other plans. "
"How about this, go to Cloud Valley immediately and bring the coolies over. Tell them that as long as they fight for me, they will be free. "
Freedom Tuomen smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, if we don\'t have coolies, how can we maintain the work in the mine?"
"The work in the mine is also a matter of the future. First, we have to pass this hurdle. Trust me, Sir Tuomen, this is our first hurdle. After this, it\'ll be easy in the future. As for the mine, you can buy more coolies after the battle is over. If it doesn\'t work, I think someone will be willing to do it if the job is given to the people and the wages are raised appropriately. Of course, our earnings will have to be relatively low. "
Allen waved his hand and said, "Alright, just do as I say. As for the rest, leave it to me."
Tuomen wasn\'t good at fighting, so he could only do as Allen said. After Tuomen left, Belmond rubbed his fists and said, "Boss, according to your style, it\'s impossible for you to let the enemy swagger to our city."
"Of course, we also arrived at Sunset City. An exhausted division is easier to deal with than a high-spirited army, right? " Allen smiled faintly and said, "Go and call Regis and the others over. Then bring out a unit from each of us and Sunset City. It\'s time for hide-and-seek."
"Sounds interesting." Belmore chuckled.
A temporary camp was built outside Dawn Castle. There were many flags planted on the camp, but they did not belong to Lafus. That was Bauhinia\'s army. Oru had brought his army as promised. This 800-man army was mainly composed of cavalry and infantry, which was also a common configuration in the private armies of nobles. However, Oru also had about fifty heavy infantry. Those iron cans were the nightmare of light cavalry. The thick plate armor on their bodies could resist the attacks of swords and guns, and the dragon spears that could be combined with them were sharp weapons against cavalry.
Sir Oru\'s heavy infantry was originally built to imitate Daniel\'s Unicorn Knight, but with Oru\'s financial resources, he could not afford to raise a heavy cavalry. Therefore, he could only take a step back and arm a heavy infantry. These infantry were normally around rank seven, and they were rare elite troops in Sir\'s army. Previously, when he attacked Storm City, Oru was unwilling to take out this troop, but this time, he brought it with him. It could be seen that he had spent a lot of money.
