Chapter 1351: The Army Arrives at Orleans

As for Willy...

Willie is the deputy leader of the Knights of Michael. Albert is not very familiar with him. He only knows that he is a young man with outstanding talents and talents, and is Su Cheng's right-hand man.

In Albert's cognition, Harry and Willy's talents may be comparable.

But in terms of experience, Harry is definitely far better than Willy.

Harry is already a veteran with white hair and beard, while Willy is just a young man who is not yet 40 years old this year.

Their Britannia Empire has already taken advantage of this "Southern Extinction War".

Just take steady steps, and the destruction of the Rolin Empire is a foregone conclusion.

So they don't need to take any military adventures in the next battle.

Just take down Orleans step by step, then go south through Orleans step by step, and finally take down Tuli step by step.

Therefore, Albert chose Harry.

He chose Harry, who has more battlefield experience.

From Albert's perspective, it is understandable that he chose Harry to be the new commander-in-chief of the entire army.

But the knights of the Michael Knights didn't think so.

Among the knights of the Michael Knights who followed Willy to participate in the war to destroy the South, quite a number of them were dissatisfied with Albert's decision.

These knights of the Michael Knights knew very well how capable the deputy leader of their own knights was.

He was a talented person praised by Captain Cheng more than once.

In their eyes, there was no problem at all to let Willy serve as the commander-in-chief of this war.

"Albert is favoring his own people and deliberately let the deputy leader of their Raziel Knights serve as the commander-in-chief of this war, so that the people of their Raziel Knights can get the greatest military merit." - This idea spread rapidly among the knights of the Michael Knights.

After realizing that many knights had such ideas, Willy immediately stopped them and asked everyone not to spread such rumors again.

Willy believed that Albert would not do such a thing.

Let Harry serve as the commander-in-chief of the entire army - Albert must have his own reasons.

Although he understood this reason, Willy couldn't help feeling a little resentful.

Before Willy became Su Cheng's right-hand man, he was already a well-known hero. Before Su Cheng made his mark, if the young knights in the army were ranked, Alyssa and Enli would definitely compete for the first and second place, while Willy would be firmly in the third place.

After becoming the deputy leader of the Knights of Michael and Su Cheng's right-hand man, Willy followed Su Cheng in battles for eight years.

"Overlord Counterattack", "Aurora" Offensive, "National Defense War"... These great battles that are enough to be recorded in history, Willy has participated in all of them.

With outstanding talents and strong records to support him, Willy naturally has a sense of pride.

Albert gave the position of commander-in-chief to Harry instead of him - Willy naturally could not have no complaints.

But now is the critical moment of the war to destroy the South, which matter is light and which matter is heavy - Willy can still tell.

He did not want to be the national criminal who destroyed the war of exterminating the South, so in order to maintain the unity among the knights, he secretly ordered that the knights of Michael's line should not discuss this matter anymore.

Although Willy prohibited it, the restless hearts of the knights of Michael's line would not be calmed down by Willy's prohibition...

......

......

After Albert retreated to the rear to recuperate, Harry took over the position of commander-in-chief of the army, and the whole army continued to rush to Orleans in an orderly manner.

Finally-the 150,000 troops of the Britannia Empire successfully arrived at the city of Orleans within the expected time.

After arriving at the city of Orleans, Harry and others immediately acted according to the battle plan designed in the "Veronica" plan.

The 100,000 troops of the Raziel Knights surrounded Orleans with all the siege equipment and were responsible for the subsequent attack on Orleans.

Willy led his 50,000-strong army of the Knights of Michael to station in the suburbs southwest of Orleans, and formed a pincer attack with the 100,000-strong army of the Knights of Raziel who were responsible for besieging Orleans.

Willy and his team's mission was to defeat all the reinforcements that dared to come to rescue Orleans.

......

......

A well-equipped army stood on the wall of Orleans - based on this scene alone, Harry judged that Orleans would not surrender voluntarily.

Since Orleans would not surrender voluntarily, there was no need to waste extra time to persuade them to surrender.

Although Harry no longer planned to send people to persuade them to surrender, in order to make the subsequent battle easier, he decided to send an envoy to humiliate the defenders of Orleans and undermine their morale and fighting spirit.

Before launching a full-scale attack on the Rollin Empire...

No, it was earlier. Before the "Veronica" plan was formulated, the Britannia Empire Central Government sent a large number of spies to various important cities in the Rollin Empire to gather intelligence.

Cities like Orleans were naturally given special treatment.

There were always a large number of Britannia Empire spies lurking in the city of Orleans.

Even after Denis led his army into Orleans and stopped allowing citizens to enter and leave Orleans at will, the spies lurking in Orleans still used various methods to pass on the latest intelligence to the Britannia Empire army that was approaching Orleans.

Currently, the veteran Denis, who is almost 70 years old, is guarding Orleans. The number of soldiers guarding Orleans is about 20,000. All the knights of the Britannia Army know this information about the enemy.

Currently, the garrison commander of Orleans is Denis, who is almost 70 years old. Based on this information, Harry came up with a great plan to humiliate the Orleans garrison.

......

......

Since the Britannia Army arrived at the city and began to besiege the city, Denis spent most of the day on the city wall.

The rest of the time was basically spent under the city wall.

He had been closely observing the movements of the Britannia Army outside the city.

Suddenly, he noticed a small movement outside the city.

Someone rode a warhorse alone, rushed out of the Britannia army and headed for Orleans.

Looking at this guy who was rushing towards them alone, Denis frowned slightly and thought to himself:

- This guy...

- Is he here to persuade us to surrender...?

- Humph, what a childish move.

Denis thought to himself with disdain.

- Does the commander-in-chief of the Britannia army naively think that we will surrender?

- How naive!

- I will never surrender!

After being ordered to defend Orleans, Denis made up his mind-swearing to live and die with Orleans!

He was ready to reject the envoy's request to surrender.
