Chapter 10: Siege Camp

At this time, in the camp of the Ruewid, King Regod was raising his glass with General Sauron. Earl Georg's troops accounted for half of the Duke of Han Ruewi. If this troops were eaten, then the Ruewid would win in this battle. Thinking that after defeating Duke of Han Ruewi, this rich territory would become the food of the people of the Ruewid, King Regod happily called all the leaders to taste honey wine together.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the troops of Earl Georg have been divided and surrounded by us. This land will not fly out unless they become birds. This land will become His Majesty's new territory, and we, the Ovaids, will have a land that is not frozen."

"Well, this is all your help from my friend Sauron. Don't worry, I will reward you and the leaders who went to this expedition." King Regod said generously, and divided the land according to the customs of the Ruvid people. Now the leaders in the tent raised their wine glasses with satisfaction.

"My Majesty, in this joyful moment, I want to propose marriage to my son." Soren made a request to King Regod at this celebration, which surprised the leaders of the tent, including King Regod.

"You want to propose marriage?"

"Yes, my son Roddy, young and brave, is the best among the people of the Ruvid, and he has always loved your beloved daughter, Sari, the queen daughter. I hope they can combine and make the friendship between the royal family and the Kron family more unbreakable. Please agree to this request for my loyalty for many years." Sauron said loudly.

"This." King Regod was silent. In fact, he was very satisfied with Roddy in his heart. In terms of maintaining the rule of the royal family, the power of the Kron family is indispensable, but Sari seemed to have always disliked Roddy, which made King Regod very embarrassed. "My friend General Sauron, your proposal was too sudden. I was not prepared at all. Let me think about it carefully."

"But your Majesty, do you still have to consider this? Who among the people of OVID is better than my son?" Sauron said a little dissatisfied. Although he was a little disappointed with his son's failure in the village plundering operation, it was only a small flaw. Sauron still loved his son very much, and no one dared to raise this point in front of this man whose power was only the king.

"I." Just as King Regod was about to appease Sauron, an emergency trumpet sound suddenly came from the camp sentry. The rapid trumpet sound made the people in the tent stand up nervously, and also solved King Regod's plight.

"What happened?"

"Is that fool blowing the horns randomly?" The leaders didn't believe that there would be any urgent situation. Those stupid southerners were already besieged in the forest. They were ambushed and dizzy and could not break through. Even if they broke through, they would just escape back to the castle.

"Your Majesty, it's not good." A warrior, who was fully armed with a round shield on his back, came outside the tent. He was stopped by the Royal Guard of Ruvid, so he had to shout loudly inside.

"What's wrong with letting him in?" King Ruigede frowned and touched his braided beard with his hand. He felt something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, many southern troops came from outside our camp." The warrior Ruvid knelt on one knee, turned around and pointed his hand outside the tent.

"No, the southerners are surrounded in the forest. How could they come here? Aren't they afraid of being killed by us?" a leader said excitedly.

"How many of them are there?" Sauron asked.

"About five or six hundred people, sir, and knights."

"Let's go and see." King Ruigede stood up, put down the wine glass in his hand, and led the leaders to the camp surrounded by wooden fences. They saw a unit with the double tower heraldic square flag outside the camp appeared in the northeast of the camp.

"Yes, Count Baden's troops, why did he appear here?" Soren looked at the flag and said in confusion. Through Yas's secret report to Kings Regod and Sora, it was clear that Count Baden and Count Georg were incompatible. It was precisely because of the disagreement of ideas that Count Georg led the army alone and were ambushed. But why did Count Baden appear here? Even if he did not care about past grudges, he should have gone to rescue in the forest. But what is going on now? King Regod and General Sauron were completely confused.

"Look at our people being massacred." A leader pointed out outside the camp, a Novedi army that had no time to retreat. They were startled by the sudden appearance of the Earl of Baden and wanted to withdraw to the camp, but the knights led by the Earl of Baden blocked them halfway.

"Knight, it's the time for us to take revenge." Earl Baden felt particularly annoyed when he thought of being plotted by these stinky Ruovets. He put on his big flat-topped helmet, grabbed the spear, blocked him with a shield, and thrust the spear and rushed towards Ruovets.

“For honor.”

"In the name of God." The knights followed their own monarchs. They lined up in two rows. The first row put down their spears when approaching the Novedo people for one hundred yards. The second row raised their spears high and waited for the opportunity. The roar of the horses running made the Novedo people nervous. They raised their round shields to form a shield wall to try to resist the impact of the knights, but the knights' sharp spears pierced the shield wall in an instant. The war horses neighed and knocked into the middle of the Novedo people, knocking many Novedo people to the ground. The weak line became scattered. The knights who rushed into the middle of the Novedo people gave up their spears and drew a double-edged sword from their side and slashed left and right.

"Ah." The warrior Ruvid, who was cut on his face, didn't care about his injuries. He raised his battle axe to slash at the knight, but they were all blocked by the knight's armor and shield.

"Hold it." Earl Baden drove the war horse under his straddle, raised the sword in his hand through the gap in the eyes of the giant helmet. When the war horse missed the war horse, he drew his sword fiercely, accurately splitting the shoulders of the people of Rovet in half.

"Father, save us." When King Regod and the leaders looked helplessly at the massacred people outside the camp, the princess Sari also came to them. She looked at the Rugod people who were chopped down and trampled by the knights, and prayed loudly to her father Regod.

"I'm sorry, the princess, we can't go out." Sauron said helplessly.

"Why? Are we not brave OVID?"

"We have insufficient troops. Now the soldiers here, including our personal guards, have less than 300 people in total. Most of the soldiers are besieging Earl Georg in the forest." A leader said distressedly. No one expected this situation.

"Damn it, these cunning Southerners actually attacked our camp without regard to their own safety while we sent the soldiers out." Sauron gritted his teeth, shaking his whole body with his fists. He originally planned to besiege Earl Georg's troops, but now he is surrounded by people. This feeling of frustration made the people of Ruevede very angry.

"What should I do now?" asked King Ruigede.

"Recalling the soldiers in the forest, you must defend the camp." A leader said, but someone soon objected.

"The troops of the besieged Earl Georg are ignored?"

"Now there is something else to care about. If this place is broken, then we will lose this war."

"That's right."

While the leaders of the OVID people were discussing how to deal with it, the Earl of Baden and his knights wiped out the OVID people who were forgotten outside the camp, and the last OVID people was cut off by the Earl of Baden with a dagger.

"Oh yeah." Earl Baden and his men cheered for victory. The voice made the face of the Novedes in the camp look like earth, and the leaders were silent.

"Look, sir. Those Ruvids were huddled in the camp and dared not come out." A knight in heavy armor pointed to the Ruvids' camp quietly.

"Haha, these turtles shrunk." The other knights laughed and mocked in the direction of the Ruvid.

"It seems that Sir Schwab is right. They must have sent all their troops to attack Earl Georg. Here we will destroy everything outside the camp to the fullest, so that they will panic, the better. Burn and burn the fire." Earl Baden admired Schwab in his heart. As Schwab said, these Novedels dared to come out to fight. The rest depends on Schwab. I hope he can find Earl Georg and gather the remaining troops to join him, otherwise he will not know how long he can last.

According to the earl's order, the soldiers of the Earl of Baden held a torch and burned the shack outside the camp of the Oveids and some untaken hay. The rolling smoke and firelight rose into the sky like a hideous dragon.

"Okay, we don't have to inform the soldiers in the forest now." King Regod said with a frown as he looked at the burnt shack and hay.

"What do these southerners want to do?" Sauron said to himself in confusion.

"I suddenly had a bad premonition, my general." King Regod had no idea why, but his heart was always uneasy. The behavior of these southerners was so strange that he couldn't figure it out. "May God Odin bless us."
