Three days after the Battle of Cobilon ended, Carter's Alto army entered the western plains of Seoul's territory.

Dimis, who had just eliminated a small group of Nila troops, immediately rushed to report to Carter with a team of guards: "Lord Wang, it seems that the Nila people have completely given up resistance, and there are not many large troops left in this area. ”

Carter smiled and replied happily: "They don't have much left in the Western Expeditionary Corps, and they can't get much strength to resist." ”

"So, they're going to make a final fight with us in Seoul."

Carter smiled coldly, and immediately ordered Xiao Daocheng to say: "Give me an order, and all the armies will march urgently immediately, and the goal is directly aimed at the city of Seoul." ”

Xiao Daocheng bowed his head and saluted, turned around and rode his horse to give orders.

Dimiss looked at the back of Xiao Daocheng leaving, and then asked Carter: "Lord Prince, after such a series of battles, I am worried that our knights are too tired, why don't we let everyone rest for a few more days?" ”

Carter shook his head and replied: "On the battlefield, we are going to take advantage of the victory to pursue, we are rested, and the other party has also made arrangements in Seoul." If you want to fight, you will take them by surprise, and let them retreat one after another. ”

Dimis continued to ask: "Then this time in Seoul, should we force them to retreat, or will we surround and annihilate them?" ”

Carter glanced at Dimis and replied with a smile, "What do you say?" They had an army of 40,000 in Cobilon, and I wanted them to leave, but that Bedolian was stubborn, and he insisted on fighting us in Cobilon. Now they have thousands of remnants in Seoul, and it will be better to wait if they are not surrounded and annihilated at this time. ”

After speaking, Carter said to the guards beside him: "Go, go and pass the order, let Lord Spartt lead his knights to make a detour to the Handong Fortress, and not allow a single Nila to escape in the direction of the fortress." ”

The guards saluted and hurriedly rode their horses to deliver the order.

A captain of the guard came on horseback and reported to Carter, "Lord Lord, we are running out of food, and if we will not be able to get any more food, our army will soon be hungry." ”

Carter sighed after hearing this, and he replied, "Send someone to deliver a letter to Hwaseong at once, and tell Duke Mozart to move quickly, because it would be a big joke if we lose in Seoul because of the food problem." ”

After saying that, Carter asked Dimis, "O Dimis, it seems that we never feel enough to eat food, what can be done to make our granary never eat the bottom?" ”

Dimis sighed: "Food rations have always been a big problem. As early as the kingdom, the people everywhere did not have enough food and clothing. If we want to eradicate the big problem of food shortage, this will not be solved overnight, and we will slowly solve it after we unify Knight and end the war. ”

Carter nodded again and again, and sighed, "Hey." I've always felt that Caldis and Miller are a good fit to govern the territory, and it would be nice if they could come to Alto and help us with our supply problems. ”

Dimis smiled helplessly: "They? Hehe. It's not necessarily a good thing to have them, you see what their northern kingdom has been tossed into. First made most of the nobles dissatisfied, and then left the northern country one after another, and now a large number of Tubis people have been taken to the northern country. Their northern kingdom is a hodgepodge, and it may soon become a mess. ”

Carter smiled bitterly after hearing this: "No way, I personally persuaded Caldis twice, but he couldn't listen to anything." ”

Dimis said with a smile: "The so-called people who have achieved great things should be informal, those who should be given up must be abandoned, and those who should be compromised must be compromised." He Caldis has a tendon in his head, and he only admits that he is a brutal man who wants to do something, and he doesn't say anything about offending the nobles, and then he will bring the Tubis back to the north to see which Knight will say that he is good, which is to offend the rhythm of the entire Knight world. Therefore, this king is a king, without the qualifications and enlightened thinking of a king, he Caldis can't compare with Lord Wang Jue after all, so he can only be a lord. ”

Carter took a deep breath and replied calmly: "I can't say that, Caldis does still have some ability, if he can't Robit and Cook, how can they follow him with all their hearts." Besides, Wu Tuo and Feng were both defeated by themselves, hiding behind the northern fortress to recuperate, such a perfect strategy you and I never thought of back then. ”

After saying that, Carter smiled at Dimis and waved his hand to order a rapid march.

Elton, who returned to Seoul after defeat, took over the defenders of Seoul and took charge of the defense of the entire Seoul city.

As Bedoria returned to Seoul with the remnants of his army, the two disagreed on what to do, and the two quarreled for the next few days.

Elton has always opposed Bedolia's tactics, and has repeatedly reminded Bedolia to beware of Carter in Dragon City and not to trust them too easily. Elton's proposition is that it is best not to ally with the Knights, and to keep the three major forces on the Knight Plains, so as to ensure that the Nila Empire can occupy the territory of Seoul for a long time. Bedoria is one of the four guardians of the empire, and as the supreme commander of the Western Expeditionary Legion, his goal is to finally annex all of Knight territory, so he naturally doesn't care about Elton's narrow thinking.

With the crushing defeat of the Imperial Army at Cobilon, Elton judged the situation and advocated that the Imperial Army immediately abandon Seoul and withdraw to the Handong Fortress for garrison. In this way, the fortress can be used as a barrier to ensure the safety and security of the empire. Of course, Bedoria disagreed, he could not let the results of the Western Expedition be returned to the Knights, and the territory of Seoul was all his glory to him, so he insisted on holding on to Seoul.

Bedolia's defense of Seoul is by no means an empty phrase. The first thing he did when he returned to Seoul was to immediately send people back to the territory of the empire to ask His Majesty the King for reinforcements. Bedoria believed that as long as he could hold out in Seoul for a month, he would be able to launch a counteroffensive as soon as the imperial reinforcements arrived.

The two argued, and finally Bedoria agreed to Elton's request and transferred him back to the fortress to take charge of the defense of Seoul himself. Elton's departure deprived the defenders of Seoul of an important force, which doomed the Neela to defeat in Seoul.

Carter soon appeared on the west side of Seoul with a large army, but Carter did not attack immediately, but set up camp fifty miles west of the city.

The day after Carter's army was encamped, Mozart appeared at the west gate of Seoul with a hundred carts of food, saying that he had come to negotiate peace with Bedoria on behalf of Carter with gifts.

Mozart was an old friend of the Nila people, and despite the unprecedented fight with Carter in the past, Bedolia was not particularly disgusted with Mozart. Because he felt that if he could delay the arrival of reinforcements, he could first consider using Mozart's peace talks to buy more time.

However, Bedolia was also more cautious, and when he came to the west gate, he did not open the gate immediately, but climbed the tower to talk to Duke Mozart first.

Bedoria angrily rebuked: "Mozart, when we first formed the alliance, we agreed that Cobilon and Weidun would be fought by us, and Reesburg and King would be fought by your Dragon City. Suddenly, you came to the territory of Victor and took the city of Victor first, and then attacked us and took Cobilon again. You are betraying our alliance agreement, and you still have the face to come to me for peace talks? Why did you go earlier? ”

Mozart smiled slowly after hearing this: "But Lord Commander, we did agree on the direction of our respective attacks, but at the same time, we also promised that as long as it is the place you capture, then we will recognize that you have those areas. However, the city of Victoria is occupied by our Alto army, which means that the territory of Victorian should belong to our dragon city. But you didn't keep your promises, and in a fit of rage, you tore up the agreement in Vidun, and attacked us without even saying hello. It's as if you broke the alliance agreement first, and we were just forced to defend and fight back. ”

Bedolia was stunned for a moment, and couldn't find a reason to refute it. Then he had to reply: "Okay, anyway, I will fight, I'm afraid this alliance can't be maintained." What do you mean by bringing this food to me, do you still want to talk to us about the alliance? ”

Moza nodded and said, "Yes, we didn't want to go to war with our allies in the first place, but it was only because of some misunderstanding that we got into such a stalemate. For us Knight, our real enemies are the Tubisi on the west, and the territory of Luo Khan is still in the hands of their barbarians. I have come here to re-sign an agreement with you Nila, to clear up the misunderstanding between us, and to maintain our current situation, so that we can go west to conquer Tubis. ”

After speaking, Mozart stretched out his hand and pointed to the carriage convoy behind him, and continued to say to Bedoria at the head of the city: "We know that the food reserves in your city are not very sufficient, so I came with sincerity, and this hundred carts of flour are used to honor your Nila Imperial army. ”

Speaking of food, there is no place in the world today where there is no shortage of food, and Bedolia is very jealous of these hundred carts of flour, with which he can fully support the army in Seoul for more than a month, without the need for food supplies in the rear.

After a long hesitation, Bedolia finally nodded and allowed Mozart to enter the city with the convoy for a detailed discussion.

The gates were slammed open, and Mozart led the convoy into the city. At the city gate, Mozart was very enthusiastic, sitting on horseback and personally directing the convoy to enter the city in an orderly manner outside the city gate.

When all the chariots and horses had entered the city gates, Mozart suddenly galloped westward under the protection of the two men, leaving the shooting range of the Nila as fast as he could.

Bedoria shouted that he was about to give the order to close the gates, the knights, disguised as coachmen, drew their swords and captured the western gate in an instant under the command of Commander Arcel. Seeing Assel slashing the defenders with his quick sword, Bedoria was terrified and hurriedly evacuated the West Gate under the protection of the guards.

As Knight rolls in, Knight Knights instantly invade the streets of Seoul. Bedoria was so embarrassed that she had to flee east with the army defending the city.
