Chapter 121
The cavalry force comprised of the Holy Sword Count of Brandenburg and his Knights of Saint Magdalena, alongside the cavalry force of the Noble Sword Sir Sephelia and the Iron Cross Knights who voluntarily joined the battle to uphold their loyalty to her.
The two most formidable knights of the empire, each commanding their own mobile strike force, were mercilessly trampling the Duchy of Lancaster.
Even if one rashly attempts to deploy a pursuit force to subdue them, the presence of the ‘outlier powerhouses’ commanding them will not permit it.
And if one rashly moved large forces to subdue them, the main force of the House of York, waiting at the border where the two territories met, would be a thorn in the side. At least, that was the case from the perspective of the House of Lancaster.
This was not the case for the silent ‘Black Prince’.
The small town of Folburn in the Duchy of Lancaster.
The wind blew, and men wearing bird-beak masks appeared. Before the ‘Shadow Lord’ to whom they pledged allegiance.
“The 300-strong mobile strike force led by the Sacred Sword and the Knights of Saint Magdalene has begun its advance.”
During the first few raids, all Dale could do was wait.
The leadership of the Lancaster family was no different.
Yet even after that, as the cavalry units commanded by the two Seven Swordsmen invaded the duke’s territory, the area where they could carry out their disruption operations steadily shrank.
Even with the Seven Swords, penetrating deeper than necessary is impossible. If communication with the main force is severed and they are defeated individually, the double-edged sword of guerrilla tactics will strike them down.
