Chapter 249: Red Maple Town
Pintos never believed in fate, he was so confident that he never felt that being a secretary in a small town was his limit, and every night before falling asleep, he almost imagined himself standing at the top of the kingdom of Fran. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Walking through SchΓΆnbrunn Palace, leading the courtiers, and being the prime minister of the palace, this is Pintos's dream.
However, as the blows of reality followed, his dreams gradually shattered, he seemed young, but he had been in this town for five years, five years is not short, not long, but for a young man who dreams of becoming the minister of the palace, there is nothing more tormenting than this.
Too many things have happened in the past five years, for all kinds of trivial matters, he has broken his leg, and he has also thought about showing his strength, but no matter how much merit he makes, this town that is only a hundred miles away from the king seems to be closed to the outside world, and everything he has done is unknown to anyone.
In the past five years, the mayor of Red Maple Town has changed seven people, but no one has ever remembered that there is still a secretary who is waiting for a long time.
So Pintos didn't want to wait any longer.
When he heard the drunken chatters of the royal family and the Duke of Perrin about the imminent start of war, Pintos knew the time had come.
From then on, he began to hoard grain and grass, co-opted a group of townspeople, and trained in the name of clearing out bandits.
At that time, he had two plans, if the war really started, if the Duke of Perrin did not attack well, he would become an internal agent and help the Perrin family.
And if the Grand Duke is like a bamboo, he must resolutely defend the royal family, he knows that it is easy to put the icing on the cake, and it is never rare to send charcoal in the snow, and he will never be the secretary of the mayor of an unknown town with such merits.
And if Pintos has gained anything in Red Maple Town in recent years, it may not be completely nothing.
His greatest gain was a man, the captain of the town's garrison appointed by Pintos: Elkina.
He used to grow up in a small aristocratic family, but firstly he was an illegitimate child, and secondly, the family was also plagued by internal and external troubles, so Pintos did not use his family power to obtain anything.
Probably this secretary status is the only preferential treatment from the children of the nobility, but his vision is several times higher than those illiterate mud legs.
Pintos swore to the god of light from the first time he saw Elkina that he had never seen a man so powerful.
It was when Pintos had just arrived in Red Maple and had not yet become the mayor's secretary, and he encountered a terrifying dire bear in the wild forest, which was originally an extremely rare magical beast on the continent of Wotan.
Compared to ordinary brown bears or grizzly bears, the dinosaur bear was at least ten times stronger than them, and just as Pintos himself was dying, Elkina appeared.
The mountain hunter killed a dinosaur bear with his bare hands, and Pintos still remembers how he felt at the beginning, as if he had seen the god of war alive, and from that moment on, he was determined to take Elkina into the palm of his hand even if he didn't have a half-official position in Red Maple Town.
And the current situation also confirms that Pintos's decision is extremely correct, the reason why Red Maple Town can withstand the onslaught of enemies several times its own is that in addition to Pintos's various mechanisms and tricks, Elkina's courage and invincibility are also the most important aspects.
It was as if he would never get tired, and every time he fought with a giant sword in his hand, even Pintos himself felt trembling for the enemy, this humanoid monster had no enemy on the battlefield at all, and even the other party's commander, the brave and seemingly brave young man, was no opponent.
In all fairness, the other party's skills were not bad, even the best Pintos had ever seen, and it was the first time he had seen someone who could go back and forth with Elkina so many tricks and successfully escape from his men.
With Elkina here, the morale of the recruited warriors is even stronger, and who doesn't want to protect their homeland, although in Pintos's eyes, these are just steps for him to ascend, but what ordinary warriors want to do most in their hearts is to protect their homeland and their wives and sons behind them.
In this way, the small town of Red Maple has been holding on for more than half a month unconsciously in the process of waiting for support from the royal capital, and now the reinforcements seem to be finally coming, and the enemy is also swarming out, it seems that the final decisive battle is going to be held, everyone understands that this is the end, all the winners and losers, I am afraid that it will be decided at this time.

"Damn townβ" Gary Perrin angrily spat out the weeds in the corner of his mouth, snorting hard, his eyes burning with flames, staring straight at the town that was close at hand, and the resolute soldiers on the battlements.
"Uncle Gaylan, what do you say you should fight?" Gary is usually a reckless man, but he knows how to measure at critical moments, and Sir Gaelan, who has been a horse all his life, is definitely more experienced than him in warfare.
This is a very important attack, if this time is also resisted by the other side, then maybe his side will come to a standstill in the future, and he can only wait for the support of his eldest brother after defeating Lefeble, which Gary does not want to see. So he took the lead in consulting the most experienced veterans around him.
Gailan's eyes were shining with a sparkling spirit, not at all like an old man who was over the age of six, he rode on a horse, pulled the reins with one hand, held the hilt of the sword with the other, observed for a moment, and slowly said to Gary:
"The other side has surrounded all sides with battlements, and after several days of attack, our front and west sides have been the most badly damaged. β
The old knight analyzed for Gary little by little: "We have 20,000 people, if we only attack one side, we can't fully deploy the warriors, but the previous attack on all sides is also in vain, and at this moment the other party also knows that this is a decisive battle, if it is the same as before, I am afraid that we will still not be able to take here." β
Gary nodded deeply, he couldn't agree more with the old man's point of view, and it was precisely because of this that he couldn't think of a better way to ask for advice.
"We play front and west, and we have an advantage in numbers, so it's better to take advantage of our advantage. β
"But isn't it a waste to attack only two sides, twenty thousand men can't be fully deployed even on two sidesβ" Gary asked, puzzled.
"No, Gary, we'll play both sides, but don't send everyone at once. A glint flashed in Gailan's eyes, and he said word by word:
"We were divided into ten teams, five teams on each side of the battlements, and a team of two thousand men, and we took turns attacking them, and beat them for a day without stopping, and by now the town would be destroyed. β
Gary Perrin was overjoyed to hear this, and he also thought that Sir Garland's method was very good, it was like the boundless waves of Castle Tenlang, wave after wave without giving any respite.
The stubborn reef of Red Maple Town will inevitably be washed away and shattered by its own wolf.
