Chapter 0548: Under the Spy

Putting away the edict, Earl Eliot looked at Earl Titus coldly, and said, "I have a letter from the Marquis of Lytton here, please take it carefully."

With that, he took out the neat envelope from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

The Earl of Titus carefully examined the fire paint sigil and determined that it was the Marquis Lyton's ordination, and the envelope had not been opened.

He looked at Count Elliot suspiciously, then opened the letter, took out the paper and read it carefully.

The more he looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and finally the center of his eyebrows squeezed into the Sichuan character.

After a long time, he slowly put away the letter, and his attitude suddenly straightened up, and said to Count Eliot: "I and my eight hundred soldiers are at the disposal of His Excellency the Commander. ”

When the nobles heard this, they immediately blew up the pot, didn't they say that they had the same hatred for the enemy, and gave this commander who was not able to do anything to see it, how could he take the lead in changing the hexagram now?

Everyone immediately thought of the letter, and felt that there must be something unspeakable in it.

However, most of the nobles present relied on the Marquis of Lytton to get to where they are today, and now the spokesmen of the other party have shown this kind of submissive attitude, and they naturally have to support it.

Count Eliot was also a little surprised, he did not know what was written in the letter, but His Majesty had told him that if the nobles did not listen to the command, he would give the letter to the Earl of Titus.

I don't know if this letter was magical, but the other party really became obedient after reading it.

Either way, it's a good thing.

Count Eliot was no longer entangled, and directly ordered: "Now the army is advancing at full speed and going straight to Amserburg." ”

Twenty minutes after the order was given, the main force of the Eastern Army was the first to move, and the nobles, although full of questions and complaints, still hung tightly behind the large army.

In this way, the Eastern Army advanced towards Fort Amseʻ at an unprecedented pace.

Looking at the black-armored knights again, they had already received the news that Count Elliot had sent two thousand cavalry to attack the city of Judon, and immediately rushed westward without stopping.

As everyone knows, the 2,000 cavalry only made a feint under the city of Judon for a moment, and then directly hit their horses and headed in the direction of Amseburg.

Count Eliot's goal was always Amserburg, and never was

Changed.

Just after noon, the army had arrived at the city of Amseburg, and the defenders of the city were shocked.

Viscount Jennings, who was in charge of guarding this place, almost crawled to the top of the city, looking at the tens of thousands of troops outside the city, and slapped his thigh urgently: "Didn't they say that they changed their goal to attack Judon City?

As soon as he got the news, he sent thousands of cavalry to support the city of Judton, and not long after the rescue troops were dispatched, the enemy came to the door.

Now Amseburg has less than 2,000 defenders, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, how can they withstand the attack of tens of thousands of troops.

Count Eliot did not give the other party any time to breathe, and as soon as the army arrived at the city of Amserburg, he launched a fierce attack, and he wanted to take the city before the enemy could react.

Turning his head and seeing that he had been sent out of 2,000 cavalry, he had just collided head-on with the rescue force sent by Viscount Jennings halfway through, and the two sides started a fierce fight.

The Eastern Army fought against the Rowling Kingdom all year round, far superior to the other party in terms of combat experience and personal bravery, coupled with the numerical advantage, the direct killing reinforcements flowed like a river, and in the end, only a few dozen horsemen escaped.

After nearly two hours of storming, the walls of Fort Amser completely fell and the northern gates of the city were opened, just in time the thousands of cavalry sent out arrived.

Count Eliot directly replied: "Go into the city." ”

The cavalry was ordered to fight their horses into the city, and those who dared to resist were killed on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the gates of the city were opened on all sides, and the eastern army entered the city in a mighty manner.

It wasn't until the city gate closed again that the hundreds of black-armored knights who noticed the fool were late, looking at the flags of the Eastern Army and King Arthur fluttering at the head of the city, the leader clenched his fists unwillingly, and then turned to leave.

Count Elliot stood at the head of the city, looking at the other party's distant back, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The results of his dangerous tactics this time were still very remarkable, not only taking Amser Castle, but also catching the spies hidden in the Eastern Army by the way.

There was the sound of armor clashing behind him, and Baron Bell was bound by magic chains and stuck.

He was still struggling at this time, and a curse came out of his mouth: "Damn bastard, why did you tie me up, what crime did I commit?"

Count Elliot turned

Body, staring at this old partner who had been with him for more than ten years, he asked: "I also want to ask you, what made you willing to betray the kingdom and become a lackey of the Creighton family." ”

Baron Bell raised his head when he heard this, glared at him deadly, and said in a tone of disbelief: "You actually suspect that I am a spy?"

Count Elliot shook his head and said in an indifferent tone: "Not doubt, but sure." ”

Baron Bell struggled for a long time, and when he saw that he could not break free from the rope, he sat down on the ground as if he was fated, and gasped: "Why? What evidence do you have to prove that I am a spy?"

Count Elliot took a deep breath and explained, "I have doubted many people, but it is most likely you and Baron Xilun. ”

Baron Xilun's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Count Elliot smiled apologetically at him and continued, "My suspicions are not unfounded, after all, only the two of you can fully grasp my military deployment can make it easy for the enemy to avoid the scout's attack on the camp. ”

"Actually, Baron Xilun is much more suspicious than you, because he is in control of the scout camp, and it is very easy to do anything from it. ”

"But I quickly dispelled my suspicions about him, for when the enemy attacked for the second time yesterday, his first thought was to protect the army's rations, and you were in a hurry to go out and kill. ”

Baron Bell crossed his neck and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

The corners of Count Eliot's mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile: "Naturally, there is a problem, the enemy's situation is unknown, and generals with a little brains will not choose to attack rashly, you have fought with the Rowling Kingdom for more than ten years, you won't even have mastered this military foundation, right?"

"The fire around the camp is very likely to burn food and grass, knowing that food and grass are indispensable for the march, killing and wounding hundreds of enemies and protecting the supplies needed for tens of thousands of troops, it should be easy to choose. ”

"Besides, what you said at the time was very suspicious, how could you be sure that the black knight would attack again?"

Baron Bell's throat rolled, and he said calmly: "The affairs in the camp are handled by the two of you, what's wrong with me going out to kill the enemy, besides, if I don't kill these enemies, how can the fire be extinguished." ”

"As for how to determine that it was the Black Knights, I'm just guessing, after all, they've already been here once, and it's called preconceived notions. ”
