In the Middle Ages, people drew cards to be promoted to nobility.

For the first time, eighty hussars with bright armor and heroic spirit were gathered together, riding tall horses with helmets and crowns, and lined up neatly.

Behind the team, there was also an army of servants provided by Muller.

Their role is to provide the hussars with rotating mounts, lances, food, water and other supplies, as well as light cavalry and falconers who act as scouts.

Normally, they don't get this treatment.

But as Port Ella is back on track and has become a hen that keeps laying golden eggs, Lothar has enough confidence to provide strong support for the hussars.

The benefits brought to Lothar by recovering Port Ella and Alandre were extremely huge, making him essentially the most powerful prince in Transjordan, able to compete with Leonard.

Instead of the verbal count before.

Jeanne held the reins with one hand and urged Grape to pass in front of the hussars, who also looked at her with reverence and love.

In the minds of the hussars, Jeanne is a Valkyrie who can bring them infinite victory and glory, with a divine aura all over her body.

Bring water and dry food, we will set off immediately.

A line of cavalry flew out of the city under the eyes of the city residents who were either surprised or admired.

The suspension bridge was raised by the peasants and soldiers on the tower, turning the winch.

Jeanne raised her head and glanced at the towering Siegfried Tower on the city wall. With such a weapon for defending the city, she didn't know how many people were needed to conquer this seaport city that Lothar said was easy to attack but difficult to defend.

If this is to lure a snake out of its hole, I'm out now. It depends on what plan you have.

The situation is much worse than Jeanne imagined.

Not long after their army appeared in the wilderness, a falcon appeared overhead. It was like a tarsal maggot, always hovering above the team's head.

Falcon tamer, can you knock it down?

The falconer spoke in blunt Gaulish and replied: Yes.

Accompanied by an eagle's cry.

The eagle on the shoulder of the falconer flew out like a sharp arrow, trying to chase the enemy's falcon.

But soon, with human panic, his falcon swooped down from the sky and landed again on the calfskin-padded arm of the falconer.

what happened?

Jeanne frowned.

The falconer's face looked very ugly. He stretched out a finger and pointed to the sky: Look, look there.

I saw falcons one after another emerging from the clouds.

More than a dozen falcons hovered over the team, like in the desert, staring at the dying vultures.

It seems that the enemy's dispatch this time is quite large.

Jeanne looked slightly cold.

Bows and arrows are certainly unable to harm these birds of prey hovering in mid-air, but her holy spear is no problem. It can be used to deal with falcons, which is equivalent to using a cannon to kill mosquitoes.

What a loss!

Although she was not like Lothar, who would be exhausted after just one use of the holy spear, she could only use it three times in a row at most, and the enemy's falcons obviously exceeded this number.

Now, we have to be completely exposed to the enemy's sight.

No matter how powerful a commander is, it still feels tricky if his every move is exposed under the nose of his opponent.

Just like in a real-time strategy game, the opponent has activated the whole map.

Your side is still selling cattle for mining, but the other side has already sold bases to riot soldiers and tanks. If the intelligence is not equal, the consequences will undoubtedly be devastating.

So what do we do now?

Jeanna thought for a moment and said: Continue, we will still support the border fortress that was attacked by the enemy as planned.

As Coors said before, Lothar is looking forward to Rauf coming to attack Port Ella.

Not only because they were unwilling to bear the crime of tearing up the armistice agreement, but also because the Port of Ella was no longer an easy-to-attack and difficult-to-defend place after possessing the Siegfried Tower.

Ha, if the Impaler really plans to take the opportunity to attack Port Ella, I'm sure your Excellency will be very happy to see it happen.

…

Among the Earl's mansion in Port Ella.

cough--

Water, bring me some water.

When Lothar woke up, her throat felt dry.

Prajna brought him a glass made by Malles and brought him some sweet well water.

How long have I been asleep?

Lothar drank the water in one gulp.

His mental power increased by three points. Now, he has officially exceeded the fifty-point mental power mark, and he still has a surplus of twelve attribute points in his hand.

one day one Night.

so long?

Lothar was a little surprised.

Enemy traces were discovered at the border again. At least hundreds of elite cavalry invaded?

Jeanna has led all the hussars left in the city and set off?

He frowned.

He didn't have any worries about this. Jeanna's commanding ability was better than his. Even if there were many enemies, he believed that Jeanna could win. No matter what happened, she could escape unscathed.

He was just a little confused as to what Rauf was planning.

Prajna, help me put on my armor and go to the meeting hall. I have to ask Hans what the situation is now.

Arrive at the council chamber.

Hearing Hans's report on the current situation, he couldn't help but be startled: Because we have lost air supremacy, we can't get any information from the outside world at all?

For a while, Lothar found it hard to imagine that he would suffer due to the loss of air supremacy in the Middle Ages.

The number of falconers that Muller helped Lothar recruit was already rare. After all, this profession was tied to Zoroastrianism, and although Lothar was not persecuting Zoroastrianism, he did not give any preferential treatment.

Where are the scouts sent out?

Hans shook his head: There is no news either.

Pepin, who was temporarily serving as the Sheriff of Port Ella, guessed: It couldn't have been attacked by a falcon, right? That kind of large raptor has claws as sharp as steel knives, which is very difficult to deal with.

It's not that exaggerated. It's not like we haven't dealt with Saracen falcons before.

Lothar shook his head and said: Our scouts are all fully armed cavalry with complete armor. They are not afraid of their sharp beaks and claws at all.

He thought for a moment and sneered: It seems that our neighbor is determined to make a big move.

If it was just a border conflict, there was obviously no need for Rauf to intercept the scouts sent by Ella Port.

Go ahead and announce that Ella Port has entered a state of wartime martial law. The Earl's Guard and the Eagle Flag Brigade will patrol the entire city. Any suspicious persons will be arrested and imprisoned. We must beware of enemy spies causing riots in the city.

The Black Eagle Flag Troops and Armenian mercenaries were immediately deployed on the city wall, and the city gate was the top priority.

Hans frowned and said, My lord, Ms. Jeanne may still be counting on our support.

Lothar shook his head and said: The enemy is obviously coming with bad intentions this time. The one led by Jeanne has almost all the mobile forces in our hands. It is our turn to support her.

Moreover, the scouts can't even send back the letter. Who knows where Jeanne needs our support? When will she be dispatched?

He snorted coldly: Let's wait and see what the hell this Rauf is planning.

soon.

Lothar knew what the enemy was planning.

There were scouts covered in blood who rushed into the city.

He shouted: The heathen army is coming. They sent out manticore beasts. All my companions were devoured by these evil beasts. I want to see the Earl!

The news that the enemy's army was approaching the border put Ella Port into a state of panic.

Raouf the Impaler's reputation for cruelty was well known to everyone, especially those who converted, and they were sure that they would all be liquidated once the city was broken.

At this time, Lothar naturally formed a group of militia composed of converts to help defend the city wall.

Lothar climbed to the top of the city wall, Siegfried Tower.

He carefully moved the ballista aimed at the shooting hole, held the edge of the window with both hands, and looked into the distance.

I saw flags raised high on the horizon in the distance.

Smoke and dust billowed.

Hundreds and thousands of fully armed cavalry were forming a neat line and moving forward slowly.

Following closely behind were elite infantrymen wearing various armors, as well as a large number of civilian levies who could be seen at a glance.

In a more distant place, one can even clearly see the baggage vehicles slowly transporting various siege equipment and grain and baggage approaching.

Lothar murmured in a low voice: Do you really want to attack Port Ella and make such a gesture? This is all?
