The soldiers on the watchtower of the castle immediately reported to the Duke of Bemessi, the banners of the nobles were varied, ordinary people could not distinguish them at all, and the Duke of Bemessi was also surprised when he got the news, all his vassals gathered, what was going on with this army that was inseparable from friend and foe? So, the duke asked his palace minister to go and check it out.

"I've never seen this flag, but I know the other." The palace minister lay between the battlements, and he looked with all his might, and made out the banner of the small team.

"Which one is it?" The soldier next to him asked curiously.

"The other banner is the Locke family." Miyaxiang turned back to the soldier and said, he immediately thought of the new baron of the Locke family.

"The merry Baron's army?" The soldier asked with a smile, it seems that Bruce's reputation is even heard of by ordinary soldiers, the palace minister nodded, and asked the herald to go and find a place for Bruce's army to be stationed, the armies of the other vassals outside the castle have already occupied the place near the water source.

"Is it the Lord's army?" The soldiers of the vassals were stationed under the castle, and when their lords drank and feasted in the castle, they did not sit idle, they brought barrels of inferior ale, ate food brought from their homeland, and looked curiously at the new army of Bruce.

"I know that flag, it should be someone from the Locke family." Although the lords are not in the army, there will be some low-ranking nobles who play the role of officers in the army, and these low-ranking nobles are eager to be favored by the superiors, and to make war achievements in the war, so as to change the social status of their families, of course, it is good if they can get a large amount of war money.

"The Locke family is a big family in the Correya region, let me see their equipment." There were also shrewd low-ranking aristocratic officers, who deliberately walked to the edge of the camp to watch Bruce's army, only to see that under the leadership of Bruce and several horseback retainers, the Greenton militia group walked slowly, their pace and queue were very neat, but if they looked closely, the officers of the other vassals were suddenly surprised.

"This, this is Baron Locke's army?"

"Ha, this is clearly a bunch of beggars!"

"I heard that the baron is amorous, did he run out of money?"

"Even if you run out of money, you can always recruit serf soldiers! But I'm afraid the Duke will be angry. ”

The officers saw this group of Bruce soldiers, who had no armor on their bodies, they were completely ordinary coarse linen clothes, and what made everyone laugh even more was that this so-called army was less than a third of its weaponry.

"Stop, set up camp." Bruce rode on his horse and looked at the huge castle in front of him, of course, for Bruce the huge was relative, but in this era it had two layers of exterior walls, and there were many turrets, arrow towers, and towers, all of which were made of solid stone, and the white ash was plastered on the surface of the walls, and the white ash reflected the light in the sunlight.

"Yes, Lord Baron." The spearmen immediately led the militia into camp, and although the militia were unarmed, they were armed with hoes and pickaxes, and at first no one understood why, but soon they knew it, and secretly cursed Bruce for it.

"I'm more afraid of hearing the word camp than fighting." One of the militiamen whispered to Mitch.

"Don't speak, beware of the sticks of the spearmen and pestles, and get to work." Although Mitch was chosen as a military tribune, he could not complain much before military law.

"What are these people doing?" The officers and soldiers of the other vassals, after watching in wonder as the Greenton militia arrived at the designated garrison point, immediately dug a trench without resting, and soon dug a deep trench along the perimeter of their camp, and then the militiamen cut down trees to make horses and put them at the entrance of the camp as a gate.

"I'm exhausted." The Glynton militia complained bitterly, and whenever they marched twenty miles, Bruce would ask the army to stop and rest, and once they did, they had to dig fortifications in the shortest possible time, almost without exception.

"Hey, brothers, stop and let's have a drink together, shall we?" The soldiers of the other vassals laughed and looked at the busy militiamen, and they raised their horns, which contained inferior ale, but for the lowly soldiers, it was the most suitable time to quench their thirst.

"Don't look up, and when you're done, go get water and boil it before drinking." But the spearmen and pestles, armed with their sticks, warned the militia in the camp.

"Hahaha, are you groundhogs?" The soldiers of the other vassals couldn't help but laugh loudly as they looked at the militiamen who were digging in the dirt, and they felt that Bruce's soldiers were a bunch of fools who couldn't even take a lazy rest.

However, Greenton's militia ignored the ridicule, and they went about their work, and soon a defensive camp was built, and at this time, the prime minister from the castle rode horses and came to the camp with a few retinues.

"Who are your adults?" Gong Xiang looked at the camp in front of him in surprise, the camp here was completely different from the soldier camp of other vassals, the ditch blocked the way for people trying to enter the camp, and only through a narrow road in the middle and the rejection of horses could enter, and there were soldiers guarding it, Gong Xiang had no choice but to stand outside the camp and shout.

"It's me, I'm the patriarch of House Locke, the baron of the Clera region, Bruce." Bruce heard voices outside the camp, and he walked out and spoke to the Duke's courtier.

"Oh, is it Baron Bruce? You actually led the army yourself. The palace minister was astonished, he remembered that Sir Hilton's messenger said that Bruce was bedridden because of overindulgence, but now he himself led the army, what was the matter?

Although the palace minister was suspicious, he still told Bruce that the nobles who led the army must go to the castle to attend the meeting, of course, only five retinues were allowed, and the other soldiers could only stay outside the castle.

"No problem." Bruce smiled and said to the minister.

"I hope you enjoy the Duke's hospitality." Gong Xiang nodded politely, and he was about to turn his horse to leave, but was stopped by Bruce again.

"Lord Gongxiang, my soldiers and I only brought food from Glinton to arrive here, and now that the food has been eaten, can you bring us some food?" Bruce raised his face without shyness, with a harmless smile on his face, and said to the palace minister.

"What?" Gong Xiang opened his mouth in surprise when he heard this, although the feudal monarch called the vassals to fight and would prepare sufficient food for the vassals, but the general vassals tried their best to carry it themselves, after all, the feudal monarch provided food was just a ceremonial nature, but he didn't expect Bruce to unceremoniously reach out and ask for it.

"I said, we have no food, you won't let my people fight on an empty stomach, will you?" Bruce tilted his head and repeated to Miyako with a grin.
