As the months passed, the Norwedds launched several fierce attacks on the city of Deboren, and although the Rodland Empire resisted very hard, the Norwedian offensive was not successful.

Their only advance now was to break through the female wall, the outermost wall, of Deboren, with the help of the wells they had brought with them in other countries.

There is also an outer wall inside the female wall, and inside the outer wall is the inner city, and there is also a royal palace inside the inner city, yes, it is not easy to break through the capital of the Rodland Empire, and there is a long way to go.

After William's army expanded, he continued to train these soldiers, including royal infantry, the Knights of the Iron Cross, heavy infantry archers, and light cavalry.

The big war is about to begin, and William must have enough strength to deal with it, not to mention that the current forces cannot support his future position.

There were still about 100,000 troops left in the city of Deboren, and this was only what was left, and they had lost seventy or eighty thousand men in the battle against the Norweeds.

In addition to the Rodland Empire's own army, this also includes a large number of mercenaries in the central part of the country, as well as the army that did not withdraw to their own country at the beginning.

"Your Majesty! The enemy is attacking again! Their attack was fierce, and our troops on the walls resisted very hard! ”

One of Emperor Grayne's vassals rushed into his room and said hurriedly.

Emperor Greine frowned when he heard this, such things had happened a lot in the past few months, and he said to his vassals: "Immediately mobilize troops to support the city walls!" Hurry up and knock the enemy back! ”

The vassals immediately nodded and went out to gather the army, and when he left, the Emperor Greine thought for a moment with a frown, then took out a piece of parchment and wrote a letter to William.

"Dear His Majesty William, I haven't seen you for a long time, I hope you are healthy, the Norwidian people have been wreaking havoc on the mainland for more than a whole year, they have destroyed many kingdoms, these are our Holy Brotherhood countries, yes, together we have organized a holy war against the Norwidians."

"But unfortunately, we failed, because a mistake in one battle led to the defeat of the entire holy war, and many countries that participated in the war perished because of it!"

"Now that they have approached the territory of the Holy Rodran Empire, my people are struggling under the brutality of the enemy, and your Holy Brotherhood is being violated by the enemy!"

"Therefore, on the occasion of the Holy Father's past affection with us, I beg you to bring troops to your support, and in return, I am willing to hand over to you the counties of Badley and Salon in the southern part of the Empire, and at the same time raise a million gold coins to pay for your army! Please send troops as soon as possible! ”

"—On the 17th day of the ninth month of the year 1240 A.H., Emperor Greine of the Holy Rodeland gave his old friend, King William of the Kingdom of Lorik."

After writing this letter, Emperor Greine put it in an envelope, sealed it with fire paint, and handed it to the attendants outside the door to give it away.

At this time, the battle on the city wall was also very fierce, the enemy relied on the well to successfully climb the city wall, the Rhodeland Empire did not have strong bows and crossbows, only some soft military bows, and when defending the city, in addition to stones and logs, there was only pouring hot water.

The soldiers, however, were of little use now, because some of the enemy had already climbed the walls, and they could not get close to the walls and throw stones and wooden blocks down to inflict damage on the enemies.

They could only shoot at the enemy with bows and arrows that were not too powerful on the top of the arrow tower next to them, but this was only a drop in the bucket, and the Norvids were still rushing up the city walls, and the defenders on the walls were also in danger, and they could be broken through by the enemy at any time.

Eventually, reinforcements from the Rodland Empire reached the walls, and under their resistance at all costs, the Norweeds were finally driven off the walls.

But even so, the defenders of the castle still paid more than 4,000 men to drive the enemy down.

Looking at the enemy who did not continue to attack but watched below, the defenders finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground to quickly recover their strength.

The wounded warriors left the city walls to be healed, while the follow-up people carried corpses and broken arms on the walls.

Immediately after cleaning the blood stains on the city walls with buckets of water, the defenders on the arrow tower still did not dare to relax, and they had to keep an eye on the enemy to prevent them from sneaking up.

Over the course of three days, the Norweeds had launched more than a dozen attacks, each of which was extremely ferocious, and even once they had already captured the outer city walls.

It was only after Emperor Greine gathered 20,000 elites and two knights that he recaptured the outer city walls from the Norweeds.

Emperor Greine sat in the room with a solemn face, rubbing his temples with his two middle fingers in annoyance, not only did he have to think about so many things recently, but he didn't even have time to sleep.

The enemy may attack day or night, and every attack is so ferocious that he can't be calm, after all, this is his capital, and no one can afford it if it is really breached.

He got up and walked out of the study, returned to his dormitory, took off his clothes and muttered, "I hope he can come......"

At this time, the Xinjia Temple was still on the way, and even the territory of the Rhodeland Empire had not yet left.

It wasn't until half a month later that the letter was delivered to William, who couldn't help but smile when he looked at the letter in his hand.

It was a surprise that Emperor Greine also had such a humble tone one day.

However, the military expenditure of one million gold coins he said made William very tempted, and the two county territories ceded were nothing, after all, the Rhodeland Empire and the Lorik Kingdom did not border, and the cool fly was right under people's noses, and there was no difference between getting it and not getting it.

William planned to delay it for another half a month, anyway, the strength of the Rodland Empire was very strong, and half a month would not allow them to be destroyed by the Norvidians.

Let the Norvids continue to consume some of their strength, and it will be easier for William to do whatever he wants.

But now, William has begun to raise grain and grass, piles of grain have been loaded onto the wagon, more than 2,000 carts, and this is only the early grain, and someone will continue to transport it in the future.

"Hold on! Our ally, the Kingdom of Lorik, is coming to our aid with reinforcements! Be sure to hold on! Half a month! Just hold on for half a month! We'll survive! ”

At this time, Deboren's city was in danger, and in the past half a month, the Norwids have carried out repeated attacks, and the outer city has been lost, leaving only an inner city that is still struggling to support.

The 100,000-strong army now has only about 50,000 left, and the reason for such casualties is that they know that they have no way out, and if they are defeated, then everyone will face the threat of death.

The same was true of the surrender, the Norweed were unwilling to spend large amounts of food to feed the prisoners of war, so the treatment of the prisoners of war was usually massacre. ()
