Chapter 55: A Cautious Roy Analysis (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Taylor took advantage of the silence between the two to report on the plan of action for the evening. Scouts will set out to check on the other villages of Fort Eagle, and the other guards who remain in the camp will patrol on a four-hour rotation.
"I'm afraid the White Eagle Fort will not be reconciled after the first battle during the day, so be careful tonight! Our camp is not far from them, and if their cavalry charges at night, it will be a very troublesome thing for us. ”
Roy thought about it carefully, if he was Baron Cliff, he was probably very unwilling to be beaten so inexplicably......
Cliff didn't immediately launch a second wave of charges, probably in some preparations, right?
The inability to light a campfire at night will greatly attract the lost and add unnecessary trouble, and the light emitted by the source stone alone will basically not be able to see the direction more than five meters, and it is difficult to meet the needs of the line of sight.
"Are you going to retreat tomorrow?"
"I'd like to withdraw, but as I said, it's probably not going to be easy. Our weapons are very powerful, but there is also a problem: they are suitable for being fully deployed in advance, and they will be far superior to the White Eagle Castle. ”
Roy's fingers subconsciously tapped on the table, and he made a rhythmic tapping sound: "Just imagine, if we retreat tomorrow, the cavalry of White Eagle Fort will definitely come out to pursue." And they scattered and surrounded us...... With us, the recruits, it is we who will be defeated. ”
Carey tasted the product, and it did produce this problem.
"And what do you mean?"
"Cripple them first, so that they dare not pursue, and we can leave. Roy frowned, "Or as you said before, if it's possible, control the barons and crush their living forces once and for all." Capturing Fort White Eagle is not a bad thing either. ”
"Indeed, at least before the Kuroshio Tide comes, we can be fully prepared for battle, not to be stabbed. Carey stretched, "Call me again for something, I'll go rest first." ”
Saying goodbye to the two, Carey exited Roy's tent. It was already completely dark, and the patrolling guards were erecting pieces of glowing source stones on wooden shelves, relying on the faint light to discern the surroundings.
Roy also stood up and stretched, and asked Taylor to call his cousin, Willie, over.
"Brother, where is my father? Can I go back?"
"Don't worry, Willy. Your father, while attending the interrogation meeting, the people of White Eagle Castle raided Eternal Light City...... He protected me, but ...... because of it"
"What?!" Willy, who was young but had already understood a lot, shook his head, "But Brother Carey told me......"
"Willy, I'm sorry. Carey lied to you so that you could walk with us in peace, your father was a warrior. ”
"No, no, he promised me that he would come and pick me up......" Willy's voice choked and tears rolled in his eyes.
Roy just walked over and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
Willy sobbed for a while before he raised his head and wiped his tears: "Brother, he died to protect you and was a warrior...... I'll be honored for him. When I reach adulthood, please let me join the guards of Everlight City and continue to fulfill his glory!"
"There's no rush, you have to complete the training first. And did you hear anything during your captivity?"
"In the middle of the night, I often hear the cries and screams of children...... I always thought it was a lost person in the wild, and I was scared. Usually he locks me in his room, so I don't know much about it. "Once, the man forgot to close the door. I saw three men in leather armor report to him that the mission had failed, that one person had died, and that they were going to abandon this mercenary ......"
"And then?" Roy narrowed his eyes - it seems that Giethoorn did have something to do with the mine attack, so White Eagle Fort was behind it, and who was going to put so much effort into the layout?
If Pierre's judgment is correct, it is likely that the defector has arrived near the White Eagle Castle with the support team, and perhaps the Alien from the Star Spirit has mysteriously returned to the White Eagle Castle.
It's no wonder that it just makes a charge and then goes out, that's not Cliff's style.
It should be!
Next, be careful that Fort White Eagle may have firearms.
Roy's silence had already drawn a series of speculations.
Then I saw that the uncle said that he needed to tell the adults, so I took them into the room, and I waited for a long time to see the three people come out. I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't go to see ......."
"Willie, you're brave. Your news is very timely for us. ”
Roy rubbed Willy's hair and said softly, "Go back and rest, I'll send someone to send you back tomorrow." ”
Sending Willy away, Roy lays down what he knows and what he has speculated on, and writes out a response plan for each possible scenario.
After taking a closer look at the eight possible crises listed on the paper, he nodded in satisfaction and blew out the half-burned candle.
......
Since Carey left, Belle had kept the tavern open on her own, but Sylvie would come over to help out in the evening, and nothing had happened.
"Miss Belle, I'm back, and it's a pleasure to see you again......" Pierre took off his hat and saluted gracefully as he entered.
"Ah, Monsieur Pierre, if you come back, Carrigortha......"
"He went back to the front and I fulfilled my promise, so I came back first. ”
"That's right...... I'm glad you came back safely, and did the trip go well?" Belle asked, taking out her glass and pouring Pierre a glass of Eiko.
"Well, the plan went well, so I was able to come back so soon. ”
While the two were chatting, a stranger in a dark green coat with a face hidden in a wide hood walked up to the counter and knocked on the table: "Hello, I want to stay in the hotel, do you have a room?"
Belle was slightly stunned and looked at the man, listening to the voice should be a lady.
"Beautiful lady, there was also a room, but it was a single room, and the room rate was fifty silver dollars a night. ”
"Okay, please take me up. The man took out a gold coin and placed it lightly on the table.
Pierre's nose moved, and he whispered, "Kars?"
The mysterious lady turned suddenly, as if she had no expectation that anyone would find out her identity.
"Oh - beautiful lady, don't be nervous. I don't mean to offend, except that I know a few friends of Kars, who also smell like you. Of course, the average person can't smell that smell. ”
"Yes, maybe that's how you betrayed them and earned a bounty......" The mysterious lady slowly approached Pierre, making him take a step back.
"No, no, no...... Listen to me, the owner of this tavern and the lord of this city-state are very friendly to the people of Kars, and if you don't believe her, you can ask her!" Pierre hurriedly looked at Belle as if asking for help.
Belle nodded hurriedly: "I know a sister who is from Kars, of course I don't know what it is......"
The mysterious lady looked at the two of them again and retrieved the gold coins placed on the table, "Sorry, I'm not here. ”
