Chapter 836 Redwayne Manor
“Ahhhh-“

Haruhi’s shadow fell on the knight’s helmet, illuminating his frantically struggling body.

His feet were shackled with iron shackles, his throat was tightly tied with a cowhide rope, and his golden hair was soaked with sweat.

The once high and mighty Extraordinary Knight now had to kneel down in tears and beg for mercy in front of the former farmer.

The several infantry commanders around had no sympathy at all and just watched with a smile.

Only a few nobles from the Fran Observation Group standing beside Jeshka showed a look of pity.

Using thumb clamps to torture and extract confessions has always been a tactic used by noble lords to deal with peasants, but unexpectedly it was used on nobles at this time.

Jeshka sat on the rock with his arms and legs spread out, a creepy light emanating from his one eye.

“Anything else?” Grabbing the knight’s beautiful blond hair, the bearded Little Hart put the dagger against his neck.

The extraordinary knight was first subjected to water torture by the Cheka’s inverted shampooing machine, and then his fingers were almost crushed by the thumb clamp, and his entire consciousness was blurred.

He just said weakly: “This is really all I know, this is really all I know…”

“Sir Jeshka, that’s enough.” Thierry couldn’t help himself. “He can be exchanged for ransom later. If we keep doing this, his family won’t pay.”

After hearing this, several infantry commanders stopped smiling and looked at Jeshka.

Deshka held out his hand and waved.

Baring his fangs, Little Hart grabbed the knight’s chin with a ferocious look, shook it, and slapped him in the face with his backhand: “You got it easy!”

After saying that, he turned his head and showed a big, sunny smile, and trotted to Jessica like a loyal dog: “Captain, I think this is all he knows.”

“Tell me what information you have.”

“Yes.” Little Hart stood up, “The reinforcements from Heshang Island have arrived. They arrived at Tiezhamen Town a few days ago. They are said to be mercenaries.

As for the Osra family, according to the few tongues that were captured, the Osra family itself provided more than a thousand square flag knights and a team of land servants.

The remaining allied and vassal families sent between 300 and 5,000 men, for a total of about 13,000 soldiers.”

“Do you know who is leading the troops?”

“The current Duke of Osra, Omes, his third son, Blacks, and his youngest son, Putsilio.”

“What are the specific affiliations and troop distribution?” asked a corps commander.

“do not know.”

Leia’s army was originally a well-organized army, even the allies of the Osra family were also well-organized.

In one’s own army, even the commander-in-chief sometimes doesn’t know who is who and who is in charge of whom.

Many legion commanders have a love-hate relationship with this characteristic of Leia’s army.

On the one hand, they could not know the specific strength of the enemy, but on the other hand, the enemy itself could not know the specific strength of its own troops.

There were often situations where intelligence was inaccurate and the size of Leia’s army randomly increased or decreased.

“Three days ago, when we were at Tinsmith Ferry, were the knights from the Osra family?” Jessica turned sideways and asked Thierry and others.

“Yes.” Thierry nodded with a straight face. “The Osra family is wealthy and has been in conflict with the Norns on the border for many years. They have rich experience in large-scale combat, unlike those knights on the Dawn Island and the River Isle who are flashy.”

“No matter where they are from, with our Wild Wolf soldiers here, anyone who dares to charge will be dead.” Little Hart retorted loudly.

Thierry snorted. Just as old Pierre said, little Hart was a flatterer and a sycophant.

Jeshka admired his confidence: “Well, if you have this confidence, when we fight, I will make you the first one to carry a spear and kill the imperial edict.”

“I will never fail in my mission!”

Seeing that the two were talking more and more, Bernardo next to them brought the topic back to the topic: “Let’s not talk about the Royal Order Company first. Didn’t the mountain knights say there was a red knight? Why didn’t I see him?”

Strangely enough, the red knights that were common among the mountain knights during the first wave of attacks were rarely seen after the fall of Xialu City.

During the Battle of Marienburg, some people saw these red knights, but they failed to capture any prisoners.

“Maybe he’s afraid of us?”

“Or maybe the Red Knights are rare, so they have to be used sparingly.”

Several corps commanders talked to each other, but there was no progress.

It was Jeshka’s comment that ended the discussion which was gradually going off track.

“No matter what, since the enemy reinforcements are arriving one after another, we can’t delay any longer. We must set out as soon as possible to seize Suimi Town.”…………

The Wild Wolf Army continued on their way along the King’s Road which had been rebuilt by the Church and the Council of State.

It has to be said that marching is the Wild Wolf Army’s strong point, which was developed during the previous rescue of Xia Lu City.

After selling a large amount of spoils at a low price at Tinsmith Ferry and sending all the gold pounds back to the rear, they marched at a speed of nearly seventy miles a day.

In just two days, they arrived near Suimi Town and occupied a local manor.

Like Marenbo, the city of Xialu is also a mixture of hills and fields, and the knight’s high-walled mansion is built on the gentle slope.

However, after the Thousand Valley War, the knights were either missing or killed in battle.

Later, the centurion district was reformed, and Alfred, the former knight’s steward, was appointed as the centurion.

After the Leia people captured, the unfortunate centurion was removed from office and detained, and then a new Leia Knight was appointed.

However, the new knight was shot to pieces by lead bullets during the rescue of Xialu City, and the Leia people did not enthrone any new knight afterwards.

The Redwayne Manor was completely reduced to an autonomous state, with only an elusive night watchman maintaining order.

But on this morning, the villagers climbed onto the roofs and looked curiously outside the knight’s mansion.

In the pastureland outside the manor, groups of black-clad soldiers of the Holy Alliance were carrying bricks, stones and mortar.

On the ridge of the field which was only 1.2 meters wide, two rows of black-clad soldiers were marching towards the barn, led by several small landowners in the village.

Before the villagers could see what was happening, they heard and saw several young men shouting.

“The war is about to start, and the officer wants to rent our house!”

“Those who are not afraid of death can stay and work for three dinars a day. Those who are afraid of death can get some money for their journey and leave.”

“Stay in the reed marsh for two weeks, and the house will be yours when you come out. If you damage it, you will be compensated!”

The villagers were in an uproar for a while.

Jeshka had no idea what the villagers thought, nor did he intend to know. That was a matter for the military chaplain to deal with.

His most important task at present is to fight.

“Have you found any traces of the Leia people?”

The Ranger Captain straightened up: “The Osra army has handed over the baton, and now there are 20,000 Kingdom troops nearby.

We estimate that they will reach Suimi Town or our current location in one day.”

From the floating bridge to here, they had gone through at least five or six investigations, and their tracks had long been exposed.

It’s just that the Leia people may not have expected the Wild Wolf Regiment to be so fast, or they may have expected it but could not catch up even if they tried their best.

So in just two days, the Wild Wolf Regiment arrived at Redwayne Manor, less than 20 miles away from Suimi Town.

They didn’t even encounter any obstruction.

However, Jeshka was not prepared to continue attacking Suimi Town.

The main force of the enemy army followed nearby, and the Wild Wolf Monks needed to rest. Moreover, they were outnumbered, so it was best to adopt a positional battle using the breastwork tactics.

At least so far, the Leia people have not been able to crack the breastwork tactics.

If it is useful, you should use it more often.

According to the intelligence collected previously, Jeshka judged that in order to prevent them from easily attacking Suimi Town, the Leia army would definitely take the initiative to attack them.

Of course, it is also possible not to attack.

But in that case, Jeshka would just wait for Das to join him.

It was only five or six days until Das arrived.

If it weren’t for logistical issues that forced them to split up their forces, Das’s Faithful Regiment would have arrived long ago.

Although the fighting was going on vigorously on the parade ground, the military chaplains did a very good job in ideological work and were never vague in supporting friendly forces.

The ultimate goal is for five thousand people to fight a positional war with twenty thousand royal troops and hold out for three days.

Jeshka narrowed his eyes as he looked at the wisps of smoke rising from behind the rolling hills and grasslands.
