All the residents who met Delseth and his party fled in all directions, but they were afraid that these people would have some bad thoughts when they saw them.

Of course, the royal infantry are not so idle, these are just their wishful thinking.

They marched in formation, and soon they reached the foot of the castle of the Count of Maras.

"My lord! A large force has appeared outside our castle! They seem to be flying the Phnom Penh Iron Cross of the Kingdom of Lorik! ”

A knight hurried into Count Maras's study, and said to him in alarm.

"The Iron Cross of Phnom Penh?" Count Maras twisted his beard and said, "Could it be that the new governor has come to attack us, unable to stand our temptation?" ”

"Quite possibly, sir! We still have no idea at all about the character and attitude of the new governor of the Principality of Mainek towards us, it is normal for him to attack us! ”

The knight said.

"It's okay! Don't panic too much, immediately order the soldiers to prepare for defense, and then send someone out to inform my vassals to come to my rescue! ”

Count Maras looked calm, but then he asked, "How many enemies are there?" ”

The knight listened to Count Maras's inquiry, and then said anxiously again: "Seven or eight thousand! Lord Earl, there are at least seven or eight thousand enemies! ”

"Most of these seven or eight thousand people are the kind of powerful infantry we have ever seen, and their servant army is only a minority!"

The knight said with some panic that when the Duchy of Mainek had just become a William colony, others even held a competition in order to test the combat effectiveness of the royal infantry, that is, the Denglenburg infantry at that time.

In order to find out the combat effectiveness of these soldiers, but after the temptation, all the countries and lords in the vicinity were stunned.

Because they found that these soldiers not only have very good individual combat skills, but if they are allowed to form an array, then their combat effectiveness will increase exponentially!

If 10 infantry and 10 opponents are fighting alone, on average, one royal infantry can only deal with two enemies, but if you are fighting in formation, 10 royal infantry can defeat the other infantry without damage.

Such a terrifying record made all the surrounding forces immediately put back their salivation, because they knew that there were still many of these soldiers, and if they really went against them, they would not be beneficial.

That game also made Count Maras aware of the horrors of the royal infantry, and now when he heard the knight's description, he was immediately terrified.

"What did you say?" Count Maras's eyes widened and he said, "All those elite soldiers? Servant armies are in the minority? How is this possible! Count Maras said in disbelief.

"Unfortunately, Lord Earl, we were not mistaken, our towering walls make it easy for us to see the number and elite of our enemies!"

The knight eased up slightly, and he slowly calmed down and said, "There is another worrying thing, they still seem to be carrying a large number of parts of siege equipment in their ranks, and it seems that they are easy to assemble!" ”

When Count Maras heard this, he was shocked again, judging from the siege equipment carried by the enemy, the other party was determined to destroy himself.

Thinking of this, Count Maras sighed slightly in his heart, and then there was endless remorse, why did he bite and believe the instigation of those people, and so recklessly test this new governor who did not know his character!

Now it's okay, the governor has driven all the troops to his own territory because of his own temptation, not to mention any future benefits, now his family is going to perish, the territory is also gone, and what future benefits are being talked about, he regrets it!

But now there is no way to do it, Count Maras can only say: "Order all the soldiers to prepare to defend the city, mobilize the retired veterans among the citizens, and drive all those villains who usually like to fight bravely to the city wall, and the stronger among the citizens will also drive him to the city wall, and you will be responsible for this matter yourself!" ”

After Count Maras had arranged for him to leave, he called his clerk in, and said to the clerk who had followed him for more than twenty years: "Arrange for someone to escape from here at once!" Go to my vassals for help, and then go to other realms and explain my situation here, and hope they don't sit idly by! ”

When Count Maras said this, he didn't know whether the nobles who put their interests first, for fear that they would be involved in anything, would abide by the agreement they had made with him.

After all, judging by the size of the enemy's troops, Count Maras didn't think anyone would want to provoke them, and for those nobles, breaking the contract was a matter simpler than eating and drinking.

But now he can only hope for these nobles who take promises as farts, after all, even his vassals will not necessarily come to his rescue after knowing the size of the enemy.

As the saying goes, Lookout Mountain runs dead horses, and although Delseth had already seen the outline of this castle, it took more than an hour of marching to reach the bottom of this castle.

The defenders on the city wall looked at the black oppressive enemy below, and couldn't help but feel a little frightened, including some regular soldiers, the defenders on the city wall felt a little trolling.

The black oppressive army of more than 7,000 people was stationed under the success or failure, and there were only many soldiers on the city wall, and just like that, the rabble still occupied the majority.

How could they not panic when they looked at the outnumbered and elite enemy, at their comrades who were sparsely sized and looked very unreliable in combat.

"Nothing to be afraid of, soldiers! The enemy has only one life, just like us! We're going to beat them up! Beat them so hard that they don't even recognize their mothers, and let them see how good our Marasbourg boys are! ”

An officer on the wall facing his soldiers encouraged almost every officer to encourage their soldiers, even if their legs and stomachs were twisting, but they still fulfilled their accusations well.

Delceth looked at the enemy on the city walls and ordered the soldiers to assemble the siege equipment and set up camp as soon as possible.

The royal infantry moved very quickly, and in only two hours, they placed a relatively strong camp under the castle.

The siege equipment was also built, and thirty wells stood in front of the castle, and the carts and trebuchets were assembled.

A very hideous-looking ballista with a ballista like a spear on it, pointing at the top of the city wall, makes people look at it for a while.

Dress looked at the enemy on the city walls, and Delses immediately ordered: "Shoot!" ”
