"Step aside!"
The black-armored knight on horseback rushed into the camp and saw the carriage parked in front of the wooden house. Just as he was about to run over, he was stopped by a group of soldiers.
"Get out of my way! I have an emergency!"
Hearing the noise outside, Bishop Fowler and Baron Bill came out. After seeing clearly the black armor the other party was wearing, they quickly let the soldiers pass.
"Report!"
The black-armored knight rushed to Bishop Fowler and whispered a few words in his ear. Anyone could see the panic in his eyes.
"What?" Bishop Fowler frowned: "Is the news true?"
"I saw it with my own eyes!"
"...I know, you go down and rest first."
"yes."
After the black-armored knight left and returned to the house, Baron Bill asked, "What happened?"
"Port Rosslare...has fallen." Bishop Fowler said solemnly.
"Who did it? So fast?!"
Baron Bill was shocked. You must know that due to the martial law in the kingdom, the Royal Navy has sent a fleet to blockade the waters of the East and West Islands. In other words, if the enemy comes from outside, then the naval blockade must be broken first, but so far they have no news of the battle. Didn't receive it either, the enemy can only come from within.
But Rosslare is a city!
Even if the enemy has a well-organized army and can capture a city within two hours, it is impossible to block all news!
More or less, they will all get the report!
"I don't know who did it."
Bishop Fowler said: "The knights I sent out to inquire about the news did not dare to enter the city at all. After seeing the fall of Rosslare Port from a distance, they came back directly to report the news."
"What about...the civilians inside? Are they okay?" Bill Man's voice trembled, he couldn't believe this fact.
Bishop Fowler sneered: "I would rather they were dead."
"What are you talking about?!"
"Don't get excited, Baron Bill. After you see the actual situation in Rosslare Port, I believe you will have the same idea as me."

At this moment, Steele, who went to find Wellesley's commander to explain the situation, came back.
"The corps commander agreed to send the 122nd Sequoia Regiment and an artillery battalion to support you."
"Just a few people?"
"5,500 soldiers and artillery are enough to deal with most situations." Steele picked up the roasted woodcock and said expressionlessly: "In County Wexford, one regiment is enough To resolve any rebellion, not to mention the remaining soldiers have to deal with other emergencies and cannot be easily mobilized."
"One corps is one corps."
Bishop Fowler sighed: "I have identified the location of the rebellion, it is at Rosslare Port. Without further ado, let's set off quickly."
"Wait a minute." Steele looked at his pocket watch: "20 minutes, the artillery battalion needs time to prepare."
Bishop Fowler, who was about to urge, immediately shut up when he heard the title of the Artillery Battalion. After rational analysis, he believed that the Artillery Battalion might be far more important than the 122nd Sequoia Infantry Regiment in the coming battle.
Twenty minutes later, the soldiers were assembled, and Steele also finished eating the roasted woodcock. He spit out a bone that he had sucked clean, wiped his mouth, stood up, put on his commander's cap, and said loudly: " Set off!"
.............................
"Boss, Boss!"
On the hillside, Li Wen, who had had dinner, held up his binoculars and saw the infantry regiment and artillery battalion setting off, and shouted: "They are setting off!"
Mavi put down the plate and asked "What direction?"
"southeast!"
southeast...
According to the address marked on the map, Rosslare City is already one of the easternmost cities in County Wexford. There are only two cities in its southeast direction.
Port Rosslare and the city of Churchton.
Further east from there is the famous St. George Strait. Extraordinary existence cannot be on the vast sea, otherwise...
Why do we need an infantry regiment?
Bishop Fowler, who received the support of the army, abandoned his comfortable four-wheeled carriage, got on his horse, and came to the front of the team.
This time, he was obviously more confident and no longer as timid as before.
Mawei put away the cooking utensils and drove the car. Under the cover of the storm, he followed far behind, neither getting closer nor farther away, always maintaining a safe distance to ensure that the other party could not detect them.
As we approached Rosslare Port, the storm in the sky became more intense, with lightning and thunder, and the outline of a city slowly appeared under the dark clouds.
Rosslare Harbor was silent. On the windy streets, the house doors were wide open and no pedestrian could be seen. The ships at the dock were swaying and the waves were undulating. Seeing such a strange scene, Steele put down his telescope and asked in surprise. Said: "Bishop Fowler, where are the rebels?"
Bishop Fowler did not answer. He held the reins tightly and looked at a dark castle located in the center of Rosslare Port.
The castle seemed to rise out of the ground, appearing out of thin air in the center of the city, standing in the center of the storm and thunder. Whenever a bolt of lightning struck, the blue-white lightning would illuminate the black shadows hanging on the walls of the castle.
Some soldiers in the army came from Ross Lair Port. When they saw the old castle in the center of the city, their expressions changed. It was not that the castle was so weird, but...
There is no castle at all in Rosslare Port!
"Bishop Fowler..."
Steele's face was ugly. He felt that he had been deceived: "What on earth is going on? Where is the enemy? What happened at Rosslare Port?!"
"Just fire, Commander Steele." Bishop Fowler swallowed: "Don't be afraid of accidentally injuring civilians. If there are still civilians in the city..."
"Farke!"
Cursing angrily, Steele almost took out his revolver and killed Bishop Fowler next to him. No matter how stupid he was and no matter how reluctant he was to think about it, he had to admit...
At this moment, Rosslare Port is probably occupied by something strange.
The key is that Bishop Fowler kept such important news from him and tricked him into telling him only after arriving with his army!
"Lieutenant Charles!"
"exist!"
A man dressed as an army officer came out.
Steele raised his hand and pointed at the black castle in the center of the city, and said sternly: "Didn't you get 10 new Armstrong cannons? Shoot them!"
"Report, sir!" Lieutenant Charles said loudly: "There may be civilians in the city, and firing rashly can cause accidental damage! I suggest sending soldiers to investigate the situation first!"
Although everyone was a lieutenant, Steele was appointed as the commander, and he was a nobleman. His status was much higher than that of the artillery battalion commander, Lieutenant Charles. When he heard the other party's "pertinent" and "appropriate" suggestions, he became furious. He rolled his eyes and said fiercely: "Does it look like there are any living people in the city? Even if there are civilians who survive, so what! They are human beings, so aren't my soldiers human beings? No matter if they are human beings or ghosts, give them to me first Let’s talk about it after bombing! Execute the order!”
"yes!"
