Well, like Baron Tyrosin, Viscount Phoebe is also a nobleman passed down for many generations. Similarly, he has not touched a sword for a long time.

Although he has a slender figure, his belly is also bulging.

Therefore, he had no idea about the outbreak of war.

According to family records, small nobles like them are often cannon fodder in such wars!

Viscount Phoebe's great-great-grandfather was killed in a battle, but his superior nobles were unscathed.

Viscount Phoebe did not want to be used as cannon fodder and die on the battlefield like his great-great-grandfather.

But Viscount Phoebe's army this time was only a little better than Baron Tyrolson. He brought five knights, two hundred soldiers, and five hundred slaves.

No way, although the viscounty is higher than the barony, there is no qualitative difference between the two.

Only after reaching the title of earl can lower-level nobles be ennobled, allowing the lower-level nobles to act as cannon fodder at critical moments.

Baron Tyrolson also felt the same way as Viscount Phoebe said.

However, compared to Viscount Phoebe, he was confident.

After all, he is protected by a great knight! This is almost the same level as the Earl.

You know, Lord Xixis brought many knights with him on this expedition, but there was only one great knight.

Of course, Baron Tyrosin did not dare to say that with a great knight, he would be truly safe.

Therefore, a private alliance with Viscount Phoebe is still possible.

At least when the critical moment comes, allies can be thrown out to block the gun.

In fact, private alliances like Viscount Phoebe and Baron Tyrosin can be found everywhere in the army of nobles on this expedition.

After all, the nobles of the Kingdom of Glens have been passed down for too long, and many noble families have lost the bravery of their ancestors. Rather than worrying about the Kingdom of Glens losing the war, they are more worried that after the Kingdom of Glens loses the war, they will become abandoned sons. .

After marching for five days, the noble army led by Count Xuxis arrived at Rosegrass Castle.

Rose Grass Castle is the castle of the Marquis of Dakara, and it is also the gathering point for the noble army designated by His Majesty Piero III.

And outside this marquis territory is the territory of the Omile Federation.

As a great nobleman sitting on the border, the Marquis of Dakara is undoubtedly very powerful.

It is said that he has a knight captain under his command.

But even so, when Earl Xuxis's army arrived at Rose Grass Castle, they also received a lot of bad news.

In the border battle a few days ago, the Marquis of Dakara personally led his troops to fight, but the result was a disastrous defeat and heavy losses.

It is said that the Marquis of Dakara himself was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

Therefore, after Lord Xixis arranged the issue of the garrison of the noble army, when he entered the Rose Grass Castle for a meeting, the person who came out to receive him was the eldest son of the Marquis of Dacala.

And when Earl Xuxis returned to his station, all the news came was good news.

For example, in the previous border battle, the knight commander under the Marquis of Dakara personally took action and killed the two great knights of the Omile Federation, and the Omile Federation also suffered heavy losses in this battle.

In short, the nobles all know that the good news spread by Lord Xuxis is undoubtedly to appease people's hearts.

After all, if everything were told, including that the Marquis of Dakara was seriously injured, that more than 20 knights, two great knights were lost in the battle, etc., wouldn't it be a huge blow to the morale of the Kingdom of Glens?

After arriving at Rosegrass Castle, fighting continued on the front lines.

The Olemi Federation does not seem to have any intention of attacking the Kingdom of Glens in one fell swoop. Instead, it sends a small army to fight against the Kingdom of Glens.

Of course, now that we are here, it is impossible to escape.

In the following time, even Baron Tyrosin was sent to garrison a small town.

Of course, this may be due to the insufficient logistics supply of the Kingdom of Glens, or it may be that the small nobles are sent out first to consume the troops of the Olemi Federation.

This small town was called Laiying Town. Before the outbreak of the war, because it was close to the border and located on a transportation highway, the passing caravans made it extremely prosperous.

But after the war broke out, the caravans traveling between the two countries disappeared, causing the place to fall into depression.

However, the arrival of Baron Tyrosin restored some vitality to this town.

After all, Baron Tyrolson still has to enjoy himself after leaving the barony.

Delicious food is indispensable every day. In order to enjoy his appetite, the Baron specially brought his own chef.

In addition, more than 300 people need to eat, drink and relieve themselves, which will have some recovery effect on the town's economy.

Besides, knights and soldiers, when they have nothing to do, like to go to bars in small towns to drink, flirt with bar maids, etc., to express the depressed emotions caused by the war.

But having said that, since arriving in the small town of Laiying, there have been no big battles, but there have been several small battles.

The Omile Federation's reconnaissance cavalry detachment often passes through the town, and will even attack the town when nothing happens.

Of course, these reconnaissance cavalry detachments were handled by the knights, and Fang Xiaoyue ignored them.

After being stationed in the town for half a month, with the arrival of the messenger, Baron Tyrosin hurriedly got into the carriage and rushed towards Rose Grass Castle.

Fang Xiaoyue also got the news from this.

His Majesty Piero III personally led the royal army to the Rose Grass Castle.

It has to be said that His Majesty the King is so noble. At normal army marching speed, it only takes ten days at most to get from the capital of the Kingdom of Glens to the border.

After all, the territory of the Kingdom of Glens is not large, and can only be considered lower than average among the dozen or so nearby countries.

And His Majesty the King spent more than twenty days!

This is also an unreliable master!

But think about it, if it hadn't been so unreliable, Piero III would not have desecrated the goddess of clear springs, nor would he have caused a war. In the end, he died in disgrace and became a typical negative example in the royal family.

Since he was not a formally canonized knight, Fang Xiaoyue was not qualified to accompany Baron Tyrolson when he went to see His Majesty the King.

But a few days later, when His Majesty the King summoned an army of nobles to march to the front line, Fang Xiaoyue saw the honor of Piero III from a distance.

An extremely ornately decorated earth dragon carries a loft on its back. His Majesty the King is sitting in it. From time to time, he pokes his head out and waves to the soldiers, which boosts morale and attracts those soldiers who have never seen the king's honor. They cheered for a while, as if they had been given blood.

At this time, if an enemy appears in front of them, they will rush forward bravely and let the enemy know how powerful they are.
