Chapter XXIV

As the saying goes, there is nothing surprising about the sudden arrival of the Kentan Kingdom to attack the city of Birti.

Taron's younger brother, Henry Crawford, was mainly responsible for guarding the western gate, and the two brothers had scarcely spent time together since they came to Birty.

This time it is rare to have a free break, sit down on the castle tower to have a cup of tea and chat, but unfortunately the two brothers' words have not yet begun, and they are suddenly interrupted by the billowing smoke and dust that is driving all the way from the direction of Mandunkou.

Taron slapped his head and yelled, and rushed downstairs as if he were flying, and got on his horse and went straight to the church of Birty. He didn't have time to tell his brother anything, because he believed that Henry didn't need his own opinion, and that he could do the best he could.

At this time, Krees, unable to find any other clues at the bottom of the hall, was about to return to the ground along the rope ladder. Tarun could not salute, and rushed up to whisper a few words in Xiao A's ear. The army of Kentan has been mobilized, and it is estimated that it will soon reach the 'gate' of the city on the west side. That's where the soldiers of my Principality of Borot are stationed, and this will inevitably lead to a real war. I hope that everyone can put aside all past grievances at this moment, and try to resolve the current crisis, because our fates are now linked, and if we capsize, we will fall into the water together, and none of them will be able to escape. His Majesty's eyes are always on this side in the imperial capital of Siza. I won't say much about the rest. Let's go our separate ways."

The second half of this sentence is obviously an allusion to Iros.The bearded general is bent on ruling the whole situation.However, there are not enough people around him.It is really not convincing.In the current situation.He does not want the city of Birti to be lost.Because he is indeed tied to the warship at the moment.I can't help but fight.He responded with a rare impassioned 'passion' with rare impassionedness:" You know me, Your Excellency, and I am a hundred loyal to the Tamborance Empire and His Majesty the Emperor, and the hundreds of Praetorian Guards under my command are a force to be reckoned with, and I will not hesitate to lead them to the front whenever you are ready to use them, so that the 'chaotic' courtiers and thieves may taste the power of my spear."

Albert nodded, and then quickly left the church, surrounded by Talen and Kegun, and sped all the way to the west of the city.

Claudia, Count of Destiny, was soon informed of the potentially life-and-death news, and she had planned to go with Catherine to Madame Charlotte to say a few words of comfort. Maybe it's not even a chess piece, and her ball not only didn't bring any benefit, but instead became a platform for the other party to take advantage of, so that the queen was put in.

Claudia felt sorry for herself for a long time, and even when Albert's herald arrived, she still had difficulty concentrating on what he was trying to say.

Claudia clenched her two delicate jade hands into fists, and she wanted to cry without tears, because it was impossible for her to speak about it, and Albert was able to send someone to tell her, and it was already considered a matter of righteousness.

On the outskirts of the western part of the city, the strange coalition forces of Kentan are ready to 'engage' the army of the Duchy of Borot at any time.

When his brother Tarun galloped to the church to tell the news, Henry Crawford quickly ordered men to erect a horse-repellent stake outside the camp west of the city, and then ordered his men to lay down the pit that had been prepared as quickly as possible.

The Kentan side was obviously not led by General Raeder for the time being, and they were led by a short, stocky guy who was more like he was standing on horseback than sitting there.

There is an unwritten rule in the Tamborance Empire when the two armies are 'fighting' each other, that is, if the two lords go out to talk in person, they must not use hidden arrows to hurt people, because this is a contest of minds and words, and if the next three indiscriminate means are sacrificed, the whole empire will laugh at them.

Henry Crawford was acting as a temporary eventual leader at this point, and he generously invited the opposing manager to come forward and talk.

The unsightly short and fat guy first muttered a little indistinctly on the horse, and then greeted him with a hippie smile. Without waiting for Henry to speak, he took the initiative to introduce himself: "I am His Royal Highness Raoul of Kentan.

Henry laughed secretly in his heart, this guy who was five short in stature, a little shorter than a dwarf, turned out to be the son of the Duke of Kentan. He replied calmly: "A while ago, your general Raeder came to us on his own initiative. His ambiguous attitude had long aroused the suspicion of everyone in the city of Birti. Now it seems that it is really good. You, as the son of the Duke, have not been sick at all, and the reason why he wants unconditional peace is nothing more than a delaying tactic. Fortunately, the new Duke of Borot is young and promising, and he has already seen through your 'treacherous' scheme. General Raeder has been arrested by us, and are you ready to abandon him like that?"

His Royal Highness Raoult, who was not good-looking, took a closer look at Henry's eyes, and suddenly laughed out loud and said: "People say that the Crawford brothers under the young duke's account are a pair of human 'spirits'. It's a pity that I know the whereabouts of General Raeder.Is there an explosion in the church in your city?Is your queen gone?I'll just say it.The two of them should have retreated safely to the back of Mandunkou.The queen is the most honorable guest.We will not neglect her.Please bring this news back to the city.So that everyone can rest assured."

As soon as such a heavy hole card was revealed, Henry had no room for maneuver at all. He silently turned the horse's head, meaning that he was going to use a knife and gun to decide the winner. But that Raoul obviously had nothing to say. He cleared his throat and called out to Henry: "Why did you Borot Principality willingly give the emperor who didn't recognize his six relatives to do it? Didn't the death of the old duke wake you up a little? Do you want to use the geographical advantages of our Kentan Kingdom as a bargaining chip against the emperor?"

"Your Excellency is right, we have no way out, your father will certainly not be willing to be subservient, and our duke certainly can't do so, fate is predestined, let us fight it out." Henry didn't look back, just raised his voice a bit.

Raoul sighed meaningfully and said, "Perhaps you will consider coming to us after a complete defeat."

When the two managers withdrew to within a safe distance, the drummers on both sides began the first round of the contest, and they competed to crush each other in momentum, and they competed to 'insert' the sound of war drums into the sky.

It has been months since the Duchy of Borot army arrived, and they were motivated and trained by the Crawford brothers. When Kentan sent additional troops to Mangdunkou, Tarun took into account the fact that almost all the people in the other side knew magic, so he promoted a special protective shield throughout the army. Therefore, almost all the troops stationed there are equipped with this equipment without exception.The Duchy of Borot has never lacked skilled craftsmen.And this expedition to the west has brought almost all the 'elite' elites from all walks of life.In addition to the combat troops.There are also a large number of logistical supply personnel.And the improvement of the shield seems to them to be like a child's play.

Raoult gave the order, and a group of shorts in the phalanx of Kentan flashed out, dressed in a very bright manner, wearing tall golden hats, boots that barely covered their knees, and holding a grotesque-looking object shaped like a cane in their hands.

The soldiers of the Duchy of Borot couldn't help but talk about it, and some even couldn't hold back their laughter.

The dwarves devised a device that could shoot fire, and it could accurately and dramatically project, without much effort, to a distance of hundreds of meters.

Henry didn't understand the other party's intentions at first, and it wasn't until these small pieces of gunpowder fell to his feet that he realized the seriousness of the problem.

'Want' to know what the fate of these soldiers of the Duchy of Borot will be, and listen to the next time.
