I, the yellow-haired noble, hypnotize the beautiful wife from another world

……

These two types of mercenary troops appeared on the Crusaders' path. It was normal for them to ride on war horses and harass their own troops. After Aslan received the news and killed a group of gangsters with lightly armed cavalry, he could understand it.

However, when a group of armed gray-skinned orcs appeared in front of Aslan and declared that they were hired by the Giant's Foot to fight a glorious battle with Aslan's Crusaders, Aslan felt that things in this world had become abstract.

Unlike the bandits who feed and clothe each other, these gray-skinned orcs are wild monsters. They are too erratic.

After doing many shameless things like robbing one's own nemesis, stabbing someone in the back, jumping back and forth, and raising the price, the merchants in the city-state also confirmed that these gray-skinned orcs were definitely not objects of communication. Therefore, the transactions with the gray-skinned orcs ended here. Most of the time, people still treated them as wild monsters. Only when they were forced to do so would the gray-skinned orcs be recruited to do things.

"In other words, now, the Northern Territory City-State Alliance has reached a point where it is helpless... huh? It shouldn't have reached that point yet.

In other words, the other party has obtained the means to tame the gray-skinned orcs, or... Krieg, that fake, suspected succubus guy, did it?"

Aslan thought this in his heart as he lay beside the bleeding, still warm, and stinking corpse of the man.

Just now, another orc troop launched a reckless attack on his troops.

They were smart, choosing the weakest part of the Crusaders and the most important artillery as their target. But they were not smart enough, because they hadn't even gotten close to the artillery yet. The battle mage maids who were accompanying the artillery raised their wands and fired a round of fireballs. Then, the cheering, cruel Crusaders' light cavalry brandished their sabers and launched a charge at them. They easily defeated these pathetic, demoralized orcs, just like their counterparts.

Since the departure from New Holy Light Port, in the twenty days since then, there have been dozens of similar attacks. Sometimes it was the gray-skinned orcs, sometimes it was the bandits, and sometimes it was those runny-nosed goblins.

They did not pose much threat to the Crusaders, whether in terms of morale, supplies or manpower. They did not even consume much more of the most critical "time" for the Crusaders.

However, these guys still continue to harass us, day or night.

But again, even a night attack would not pose any threat to the Crusaders who were well prepared, trained and disciplined.

The battle mage maid who was on duty as a sentry fired a round of flash grenades, blinding their eyes. Then a round of musket fire was enough to cause these guys to suffer heavy losses.

But even so, the harassment continued. This made Aslan feel irritated and dissatisfied. He began to think about whether he should find a way to solve this problem.

……

Beside him were teams of phalanx infantrymen marching slowly forward in a marching formation, as well as the Crusader Knights whose order and formation were slightly weaker, but whose morale was higher.

Of course, not all knights lacked sufficient order and training.

Among the three Crusader Knights, the Order Knights directly under Aslan had a strict formation, which was not inferior to the Aslan-style phalanx infantry trained by the Armed Combat Golem Maids. They were also another trump card of Aslan.

……

Between the squares, the most conspicuous were the twelve-pound Napoleon heavy cannons pulled by eight or twelve of the strongest draft horses or reindeer.

These muzzle-loading bronze cannons, the pinnacle of the era, were placed in the middle of the marching formation along with a large number of cannonballs, gunners, and gunpowder. Also strictly protected were a large number of baggage carriages.

……

In addition to the road, more baggage and troops were moving north along the Dongshui River.

The speed and loss of sea and inland waterway transport are much lower than those of land transport, especially when railway and road networks are not widely used.

Fortunately, when fighting on inland rivers, the Crusaders' army advantage could still be more or less utilized.

In an inland river battle in which the city-state alliance was full of confidence, the Crusaders' long-range artillery and the magicians' fireballs, lightning and acid balls supported the disadvantaged Crusaders' inland navy and won a great victory.

The other side originally wanted to surprise Aslan and give his navy a small shock, but they were beaten by artillery and magicians on the road to the point where their mothers didn't recognize them.

After that, the Crusaders encountered a group of fire ships coming down the river from upstream. These fire ships, carrying firewood, sulfur, flaming glue, and some gunpowder, were discovered by the Crusaders' air force scouts long ago, and then were blown up by the accompanying mages. They also did not pose any threat.

Aslan could imagine the feelings of the coach of the City-State Alliance who was playing against him.

How anxious the enemy would feel after all the continuous plots, ambushes, and attacks had failed.

Aslan and the Crusaders who were attacked just felt unhappy and irritated. However, the commander of the city-state militia in the most important hub city of Dongzhi Port in the middle reaches of the Dongshui River, which was constantly losing soldiers and generals, should be in fear and despair now.

Especially Aslan's Crusaders, using artillery and magicians, easily broke through three cities along the way, looted them, and slaughtered the enemy's coach and the city council. More cities along the way began to declare surrender. The road to Winter Solstice Port became increasingly unobstructed.

The fall of Winter Solstice Harbor seemed to be only a matter of time.

Aslan will be here, together with the Iberval elves who are also assigned to attack the Winter Solstice Port, to break through this sentimental city where he made his debut. Then continue north to attack the Giant's Foot.

……

While Aslan's crusade was progressing smoothly, the other crusaders were also making rapid progress.

The elves of Iberval traveled with Aslan. Her Royal Highness the Princess was made very comfortable by Aslan every day, so there was no need to say more.

They had the same mission as them, but they were attacking the estuary of the Frozen River. The Lenseno people in Summer Solstice Port had already started a siege. After all, Summer Solstice Port was the closest important stronghold to the New Holy Light Port.

The merchants from the Northern Territory in Xiazhi Harbor also tried to hire mercenaries and cooperated with a group of citizen soldiers to go out of the city for field battles. However, they were defeated by the Crusader Knights of Lenseno, who had expanded to four flag teams.

The army, which was more than twice the size of the Crusaders, was completely defeated. From then on, the people of Xiazhigang turned pale at the mention of the Crusaders and only dared to defend the city, not daring to go out of the city to fight again.

The Crusader Lord of Lenseno proudly declared that Xiazhi Port could be captured at any time, and then the Lenseno Crusaders could be dispatched to assist the Crusaders in other directions.

With the addition of [Crusader] and [Humanist] and the removal of terms like [Selfishness], the Lord of the Crusader of Lenceno and other high-ranking members of the Crusader of Lenceno would not dare to say that they were completely selfless, but they would not stand still when their allies were in trouble.

Next came Lotharingia and the coalition forces of Wend. The Ice Harbor Fjord city-state area they were responsible for conquering was the second closest.

The news that has come in now is that the seven banners of the two countries' crusaders have already defeated two cities along the way and obtained certain supplies and spoils. It is expected that in another week, they will be able to attack the Ice Harbor city-state.

Aslan reminded them to be careful on the sea route.

Wende and Lotharingia's march route was along the coast of the Sea of ​​Dead Souls. The ocean gave them enough speed and convenience, so they didn't have to worry about logistics. But they also had to worry about being attacked by the enemy's navy.

……

Finally, there are the Crusaders of the Golden Eagle Empire.

Including Her Majesty, among the nine electors, the Nors family in the north is Aslan's base. The other two families adjacent to the Nors family are the Durakon family and the Weiss family. One has been defeated by Aslan, and the other is seriously injured.

The Golden Dwarf Elector and the High Elf Elector were unwilling to meddle in other people's affairs. They just guarded their own little piece of land and sent a small army of one or two hundred people symbolically, so they could be ignored.

The four families that actually joined the Crusades, including the Queen's Griffin family, had already expanded their military strength to around 8,000.

……

The four families split into two groups.

The Crusader generals from the Griffin faction led the team and were responsible for clearing out the Lead-gray Dwarves in the southern part of the Northern Territory.

They also received support from the Frostforge Dwarf Clan - although the dwarves had a bad relationship with Aslan. But when it came to attacking the Lead Dwarves, the Silver Dwarves of Frostforge claimed that they were not tired.

Aslan could see that, in addition to seeking revenge, these guys also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to expand their territory.

As for those ancient mining sites that have not been serviced for hundreds of years or even longer and are occupied by wild beasts and monsters, just give them to humans and then complain about them. If you are poor, just put the dispute aside.

But the mines and dwarven fortresses that had been occupied by the evil kinsmen, the evil lead-gray dwarves, were functioning well, with wealth filling the treasuries, forges working day and night to forge weapons, armor, and daily necessities, and granaries filled with rye and reindeer bacon.

If all of these were occupied by humans and then returned to them, the mere thought of it would make the dwarves furious.

……

Aslan's advice to the Griffin Crusaders was mainly about the relationship with the Silver Dwarves of the Frostforge. However, the Griffin Crusaders commander was confident: "I have many Gold Dwarf allies. I know how to deal with the Dwarves, so don't worry."

Because Aslan didn't have much dealings with dwarves, he didn't have much say and could only choose to believe what this guy said.

At least for now, it seems that the Crusader commander is doing a pretty good job.

A total of four banners of the Crusaders swept around the southern part of the Northern Territory, defending a number of dwarven mines of the Lead Gray Dwarves in the mountainous areas, and made some progress.

Perhaps it won't be long before these lead-gray dwarves will be killed.

……

After that, it is important to emphasize the four banners headed by the Western Elector, the Phoenicus family.

Their target is the lead-gray dwarves in the north.

To be more precise, it is a dwarf fortress located near the Giant Mountains and controlled by the Lead Gray Dwarves.

So now, these four flag teams are also moving with Aslan, going upstream along the Frozen Water River.

Unlike the confident Griffin Crusaders, the commander of the Phenex Crusaders seemed a little worried.

In fact, Aslan felt that if he had not modified the opponent's entry before, making the opponent more [responsible] and [righteous], it would be impossible to make the opponent bear such responsibility just by relying on the entry of Crusaders and Human Orderists.

Because everyone knows that the lead-gray dwarves are a subordinate race of the northern frost giants. At the same time, everyone also knows that the Giant Mountains are the territory of the frost giants.

It is one thing to sweep the mining sites of the Lead Dwarves on the outskirts, but it is another thing to go deep into the Giant Mountains and attack the Lead Dwarves' fortress.

This was a military adventure, and also a test by the Crusaders against the Frost Giants, the former overlords of the North.

Whether it was an adventure or a test, it was dangerous enough. General Phineas was very worried that he and his four flags were being used as cannon fodder.

Although Aslan had been with him, chatting with him and promising that he would never abandon him, his mood was still not very good and he was quite taciturn.

……

This is the current strategic situation between the Crusaders and the Northern City-State Alliance.

The Crusaders were responsible for attack, while the city-state alliance was responsible for defense.

In the first month of the war, the Crusaders made great strides and achieved victory on several fronts.

Although the City-State Alliance unexpectedly found a large number of mercenaries to supplement its strength.

In addition to the locals in the Northern Territory, they also quietly crossed the Sea of ​​Souls and went to the Southern Wende Continent to recruit more mercenary troops.

But all this still could not stop the advance of the Crusaders.

The news spread throughout the world through magical communications, and everyone believed that the City-State Alliance had made a wrong decision.

A commercial city-state that excels in trade should not fight against the Crusaders, who possess powerful military forces and the legendary commander Aslan.

Perhaps soon, the Northern Territory will be completely unified by the Crusaders.

However, when the war entered its third month, the situation changed to a certain extent.

At this moment, the Lunsenor people have been besieging the Summer Harbor for more than a month. At the same time, the Wends and Lotharingians have been besieging the Ice Harbor for half a month.

Both armies were trapped under the fortified city. After two or three rounds of brutal and unsuccessful sieges, they had no choice but to resort to the clumsy method of besieging the city.

This way, there are more areas for operation.

Everyone knows that a siege can last as long as it takes. If the city can hold out and has enough supplies, it is possible that it can last for several years, more than ten years, or even decades.

The key to a siege is to cut off the enemy's supplies.

If you want to cut off the supply, you must control the sea.

As a result, the focus of this war was once again concentrated on the sea.

Whoever can gain control of the sea will gain the initiative in this war.

So, next, July.

When Aslan's army arrived at Winter Solstice Port and was ready to besiege the port city, the worst news came to Aslan, the leader of the Crusaders.

In a naval battle in the Sea of ​​Dead Souls, the Norse navy was defeated. Thirty ships were sunk or captured, and hundreds of elite naval soldiers were killed.

In a short period of time, the city-state alliance gained control of the sea.

Chapter 36: After the defeat in the naval battle, Aslan was very angry

Twenty minutes after Aslan received the news.

In the large conference room of Eldram Castle.

The world's most beautiful boy sat at the head of the round table in the conference room, looking around, mainly at Luvia, Nana, and Eremeo.

Of course it’s mainly Nana.

Although three months had passed, Aslan still clearly remembered the unfortunate behavior of this idiot who held his head high, patted his chest and assured himself: "Absolutely no problem!"

As a result, the Norse fleet was handed over to them, but it turned out like this. Aslan was heartbroken. Aslan was guilty of the Crusaders and wanted to dismiss himself.

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's not that we're incompetent, but the enemy is too cunning, Boss."

Nana, who was being stared at by Aslan with a look of disappointment and as if she were an idiot, shuddered a bit and subconsciously tried to make excuses for herself.

"Shut up!" Aslan shouted, interrupting the guy and causing him to shudder again. "You are usually careless, but you fail to deliver at the critical moment! When you were needed, you were too drunk to make it! What's the point of keeping you?! Are you here to eat for free?!"

Hearing Aslan say this in a stern voice, Nana shuddered again, and then she couldn't help mumbling, and then she lowered her head and didn't speak again in a dejected look.

Seeing this guy like this, Aslan took a deep breath, and then said helplessly: "Let's solve this matter quickly. I have to return to the army next, and I won't be here for much time."

After saying this, the boy turned his head and looked at the maid on the side.

"Yes, I will serve Brother Aslan." The twin maids who said this, Elijah and Chloe, crawled under the table strangely, and helped Brother Aslan relieve stress in their own way to prevent Aslan from being too angry.

In the following meetings, there were occasional strange noises coming from under Aslan's round table. But everyone was used to it, so they didn't care at all. In fact, on the contrary, they envied the two children. After all, while everyone was working hard, they could crawl under the table to play. Especially Nana.

Because she was largely responsible for the defeat, Aslan had never been nice to her, which made her very worried that she would lose Aslan's favor. That would be terrible.

The reporting work was done by the maid Roberia.
