Chapter 260: Tentative Attack (Part I)
"What ?!!"
Karjana didn't understand Sean's words.
"Are you saying the enemy will attack tonight?, but haven't they all arrived yet?" is this incomprehensible, if the enemy is already stationed outside the high wall, it may attack at any time, the shadow of the enemy has not yet been discovered, the scouts sent out have not fully returned, except for the Desert Gold Regiment, the other enemies have not noticed.
However, the Desert Gold Regiment has always been rebels dozens of miles away from the border, and they don't know what to do!
According to Joseph's knowledge of the border, the mercenaries in the desert will not wander around aimlessly, perhaps the opposite city of Bahahama hired them, but the cost of hiring the Golden Regiment is very high, and I don't know why they want to hire the Golden Regiment.
"You've been acting weirdly lately......" said Sean, looking at Sean, who was leaning back in a chair in the middle of the tent.
After waking up, Karyana was no longer sleepy.
The tea on the table was half cold, and the other witches were busy reheating the pot, and the tent was still a half-hidden door, and the other soldiers would not rush in at such times, unless there was something important to report.
"Sean, you've been acting strangely lately, always talking and doing things inexplicably. Seeing that the other party had been panting for breath while holding on to the table, Karjana said again.
Sean still didn't answer, just subconsciously glanced at her.
"Did something happen?"
......
"You've been in a bad state lately, and sometimes you've been in a daze for a long time, is it the after-effects of the last battle in the forest?" Karyana asked.
Still silent, but this time he breathed a sigh of relief and tried to be as energetic as possible.
Sean has indeed become a little different since gaining power from the Lord of Time, everything around him occasionally slows down from time to time, and in his dreams he can see the hidden thoughts of the past, as if like an all-knowing and all-powerful prophet, what he didn't know before is now slowly understood.
For this reason, Sean wants to know more about the 'truth', and he will always be stuck in a dream......
"I'm fine, I've been too busy lately. But this is not a joke, you should go and prepare the soldiers now, especially these nights...... Maybe it's ...... today," Sean stressed again.
At this time, I could vaguely see soldiers running over at the door, and there was more than one.
The door opens~
Joseph hurried into the tent with a few soldiers, and several witches around him noticed the expression on his face.
"What's going on?"
"My lord, one of the scouts we sent out didn't come back!"
Joseph's words made Sean's head 'buzz'...... If you don't come back, isn't it the same as what you saw in your dreams?
"Isn't it a young lad?"
"Yes, he originally belonged to one of the scouts, and according to the discipline of the scouts, he had to come back on time every day within a certain range, and if he encountered anything, if he was in trouble, he had to let go of Xinying as soon as possible, but there was nothing until now...... I'm worried that something will happen to him...... Your Excellency, do you know the Scout?" Joseph said before realizing that Sean seemed to be the first to say what the other person was.
"It doesn't matter if I know it or not...... Joseph, you now send troops to patrol the watchtowers on the front line day and night, and bring the flare guns that Claude has brought with you, and signal for any accident. ”
"Yes, sir. Joseph replied hurriedly, but asked curiously.
"The Earl thinks the enemy has already begun to move?"
Sean turned his head and looked at the other with a serious expression.
"Whether the enemy starts to act or not, we have to be prepared. Apparently they are close to us...... You go and get the Barniers too. "No matter what Sean says, he is the biggest leader in the local area, and even if they don't understand it in their hearts, they will do what they say.
"Yes, sir. I'm going to call them back now, and do you want to send them out of the tower?"
Sean has been a mercenary for a while, although it is not for a long time, but the mercenaries in the south still understand the way they fight, they are more suitable for individual combat, and a four-person team like Barnier is best placed together, and it is very good to send them out. Can become an assassin who assassinates a local general......
But at the moment, the enemy's combat effectiveness is not clear to him, and sending them out is likely to encounter danger!
I remembered the face with the golden mask......
"Not for the time being, just let them stand guard with the team in the camp. ”
Joseph nodded and left the tent with the order, leaving behind a group of witches who were staring at him with [surprised!].
"Let's go and prepare now, it's better to set traps with magic, we don't know how strong the enemy's fighting power is, at least come up with the best defenses. ”
If you fight the consumption, Sean feels that with the economic strength of Oro City, it should not be a problem to consume half a year, but he does not want to lose the natural barrier of the border wall, otherwise the ruins of Tacoma behind him are an empty city, and the enemy is likely to use it as a stronghold to form a confrontation with Oro City.
Of course, the city will be much safer, but the surrounding townspeople will likely be harassed endlessly...... The order that has not been easily established by oneself will collapse in an instant, so this high wall must be defended no matter what.
..............................
After everything was arranged, Sean had dinner with the soldiers as usual, but after dinner, he did not meet the tent on time and walked alone above the high wall......
Looking at the dense fences and artillery openings under the soles of your feet, there are many arrow towers and sentries in the outermost places, and the barricades have just been set up.
It is impossible for the opponent to attack the city with cavalry, and the desert area also eliminates the possibility of any large-scale siege machinery, all natural conditions are favorable to him, and the only uncertainty is the combat effectiveness of the place.
"Lord Sean, why are you here? ”
As I was thinking, I suddenly heard a voice around me.
"You're on duty here?"
The person who came was none other than Latina, wearing a thick coat and still carrying her sword, the southern girl had always maintained a high opinion of herself, and in a sense she was the link between the Earls of Oro City and the Barnier mercenary team.
"It's dangerous ...... here"
"It's the most dangerous to stay in a tent where everybody can see the best conditions. Sean said with a smile.
"Lord Sean still has such a sense of humor!" Lattina walked over to look at the fortifications in front of her, side by side.
"Your Excellency, do you think these defenses can resist enemy attacks?"
"It's hard to say, but at least it can consume a lot of their combat power. ”
Watching each other's lazy pestles on the wall......
"I don't know how long this war will last, but I heard from the mercenaries in the north that there is no way to work normally. Almost all assignments are related to war, and those who want money will go, but those who don't want are ready to go to other countries to take refuge. ”
"It's human nature. ”
Sean had also heard that there had been a lot of mercenaries who had recently gone south from Oro City......
Most of them are heading to the southern coastal country of Mersin.
"But don't worry, they won't win in the end, because there is no way the city of Oro will fall. ”
