Phyllis said irritably, "Can't you see that we are discussing something important here? Let them wait for a while! "
"Your Majesty, he brought His Majesty the King's warrant!" the guard quickly said.
"Suhlen's warrant? Let them in! "Phyllis suddenly reacted and said.
Soon, an ordinary-looking man came into the palace. He first bowed to Phyllis solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty the King had expected this when he left, so he specially ordered me to come."
Phyllis was a little surprised, but she quickly reacted. As an old fox, Rex immediately understood after hearing the words of the guard.
"I see!" Rex nodded and said, "Does His Majesty want us to capture the rebels?"
The guard shook his head with a smile and said, "Not so. His Majesty wants Her Majesty the Queen and Sir Rex to continue with what you are supposed to do. Don't let them notice anything unusual."
Those who were making a move now were all small fries. The real mastermind would not expose himself so easily. These nobles who had controlled the power of Florence for hundreds of years were naturally unwilling to let their power be taken away. They were the real mastermind behind this matter.
Suhlen's plan was actually not complicated at all. After knowing that the nobles had begun to contact the rebels in the south, he had been preparing. Now, many of the nobles in San Filto City were involved, but there were still some who hid very well. This time, he planned to capture all of them.
In addition to dealing with these nobles, Suhlen also planned to kill two birds with one stone. He wanted to take this opportunity to deal with the rebels in the south. So, he deliberately gave them a chance to see hope. Then, when they were about to succeed, he would completely destroy their hope and uproot them.
These nobles were already the biggest obstacle to him taking control of the Kingdom of Florence. Only by getting rid of them could the Kingdom of Florence continue to grow.
"Who is the general of the rebels in the south? His command is quite good! "On a nameless hill in the south, two large armies were confronting each other from a few miles away. Suhlen carefully observed the rebels. These rebels looked good. They were in a neat formation and their armor was bright. Although they were not powerful soldiers who had been through hundreds of battles, they were definitely not a mob.
Suhlen had been through a lot of battles, so he was able to distinguish the strength of his opponents.
Compared to the army behind him, the Southern Rebel Army's equipment was actually better than theirs. Looking at the current situation, the Southern Rebel Army looked like a regular army, while the army behind him looked more like a mixed army.
This was something that couldn't be helped. After all, the southern provinces were much richer than the northern provinces. However, apart from equipment, although the southern army's momentum was not bad, it was still lacking compared to the army behind him.
The patriarch of the Medici family, Aesir, was overwhelmed with emotion. Originally, their family had the lowest chance of becoming the royal family of Florence. Their family was also at the bottom of the list of elector families in the Kingdom of Florence. But now, things had changed. The Henry family had no descendants, and an outsider had ascended to the throne. This was a godsend opportunity.
The king, who was said to be a pioneer noble, did not understand the unspoken rules among the nobles at all. As soon as he ascended to the throne, he began to touch the cake of the other nobles. As a result, many nobles rebelled. In the end, this king was really tough. He directly led his people to destroy the nobles and even took away their territories. This was simply unimaginable among the nobles.
Therefore, when the northern nobles took the initiative to contact him and said that they were willing to support him as the king, he was tempted. For this reason, he personally contacted the southern nobles and was ready to completely destroy Suhlen in one fell swoop.
Not long ago, he lured Suhlen's army south. As northerners, many people were not used to the climate in the south. After the battle line was long enough, he easily cut off the follow-up food supply according to the information provided by the spies.
Without food supplies, even a strong army would collapse. After the food supply was cut off, the king began to panic. He did not continue to pursue and directly led his army to retreat. However, in the face of such a rare opportunity, how could Aesir let it go? He had already planned. After defeating Suhlen, he would directly go to San Felto City to ascend to the throne and take over all the inheritance of the Henry family. When that time came, the Medici family would be the most powerful family in the Kingdom of Florence.
"Your Majesty, the enemy's general is Aesir, the patriarch of the Medici family!" the Brocade Uniform Guard beside him said respectfully.
"So it's him. It seems that we don't have to look for him everywhere. This battle will solve the problem!" Suhlen nodded and said. He did not care about the 100,000 soldiers opposite him at all.
"But Your Majesty, we don't have enough food now!" Kent said softly. The news had not spread yet, but the generals naturally knew. After all, Suhlen did not hide it.
Suhlen flicked the whip in his hand and said softly, "Hehe, I know that. There is a rebellion in the capital, so the supplies there will not be coming!"
Kent was stunned. Suhlen had always said that there was no need to worry about the supplies and that they would be sent over. Now, he was told that there was no food … Your Majesty, we are already thousands of miles into the enemy's territory. Now that there is no food, how are we going to fight this battle? Judging from the king's expression, he did not seem to be worried at all.
Su Lun waved his hand and signaled the army to move forward and prepare for war. He then said in a relaxed tone, "Those rebellious nobles think that they can defeat me by joining forces with the southern rebels. I've known about this for a long time. They think that they can choke me by cutting off the food supply to San Filto City and blocking the roads with ice and snow in North Town City? They are too naive. I have more than just San Felto City and North City. "
There were 25,000 soldiers in the regular army and 50,000 strong men in total. Although they were not as strong as North City's army, there were thousands of knights and hundreds of head knights and knight commanders. With Suhlen's help, there was no way the 100,000 strong army could win unless all of them were knights.
The only way to win was to stall Suhlen's army and cut off their food supply so that they would collapse without a fight. This time, with the help of a spy, it seemed that they had succeeded on the surface, but it was only on the surface.
Suhlen had already cleared out his storage dimension before he left. There were 100 cubic meters of military food in his storage dimension. Suhlen made this military food using potatoes. He would dry the potatoes and grind them into powder. Then, he would add oil, salt, diced meat, vegetables, and many other spices to make this military food. This military food could provide a soldier with all kinds of energy for a day. One pound per person was enough.
One cubic meter of military food was about 1,200 kilograms. 100 cubic meters of military food was 120 tons. It was enough to feed the 50,000 soldiers for a week.
Apart from that, he also asked Marquis Savoy's territory to send out a reinforcement from Calt City with a large amount of supplies. Suhlen also left a backup plan. He made a teleportation coordinate. If he needed it, he could ask Hathaway to teleport a large amount of food over.
None of the nobles in San Felto City knew about this. Suhlen was not worried about the lack of food at all. Besides, he did not have enough food. One week was enough for him to defeat the enemy. If he ran out of food, how could the 100,000 strong army run out of food?
Suhlen said with a playful expression, "They think they can win if they stall us. Aren't we also preparing to quell the rebellion in the south?"
"Let's go!" Suhlen looked at the army with high morale and gave the order.
"Raise your spirits!"
"Raise the morale!"
"Group Haste!"
"Group Enchanted Weapon!"
"Group Bear's Endurance!"
Beams of light rose from Suhlen's body. The strength of the vanguard of the army instantly increased by a large margin.
The army, which had been holding back for a long time, suddenly erupted. The 25,000 soldiers split into three groups and advanced together. On the other side, Aesir looked at the approaching army and suddenly panicked. The enemy army did not collapse like he expected. Instead, they took the initiative to attack.
Just as he had a bad premonition, the two armies collided, but the result shocked the Southern Rebels. The opposing army cut through them like they were vegetables, instantly tearing holes in their formation.
In order to prepare for this battle, Suhlen purposely let the elite soldiers of North Town take the lead. These soldiers were at least Grand Knights. They were wearing excellent armor and holding sharp blades. After being buffed with spells, they were like little superhumans. Against the rebels, who were at most Novice Knights, it was like a tiger among a flock of sheep. They easily saw through the enemy's formation.
The army behind them swarmed forward. The rebels in the south were forced to retreat. In less than ten minutes, the vanguard began to collapse. When Suhlen saw this, he did not want to miss this opportunity. He immediately ordered the army to press forward.
The long period of peace had weakened the rebels in the south. Even though they had been trained and reorganized, they were still weaker than the northern army, not to mention the elites of North Town City.
The army continued to drive the defeated rebels forward. Aesir, who lacked battle experience and wisdom, wanted to drive the defeated rebels forward. However, as soon as the order was given, the army behind the rebels was also scattered.
Seeing this, Suhlen knew that the result of this battle was already decided. In the wilderness, the rebels were running everywhere. Out of a hundred thousand soldiers, only five thousand of them were defeated. In the end, it led to a complete collapse. Suhlen was shocked that the rebels in the south were defeated so easily.
