When the urgent report arrived in Epsommitton City, the face of Jimda, who had been left behind, suddenly turned pale - the 30,000 priest army was less than a day's way away!

It's incredible! If this news hadn't been sent desperately by the secret agents arranged by Yamo, I'm afraid that the other party would not have noticed it when he arrived in the city! Who is the other party, who is sacred, can come and go so freely without knowing it, even the scouts of Gurnas have not found their traces, you must know that Gernas's troops have just set off not long ago!

Jimda's brain immediately calculated, and the result was very pessimistic, Gurnas's troops had been gone for two days, so even if they immediately sent cavalry to deliver the letter now, it would take at least three days to come back, so they would need to hold on for at least two days, but the problem was that first of all, the total number of troops in Grenas's hands was less than 10,000, and even if he came back, he could not destroy the enemy army, but could be surrounded by superior enemy forces, and secondly, there were only a thousand old and weak defenders in the city of Epsommiton, so how easy was it to hold on for two days?

Now that the flood season of the Nanluo River has arrived, Li Tianhao's main force will not be able to return in time, the only hope is that Wei Song in the rear can drive the team to the front line in time, before that, if Ge Ernas can find this Yaqui priest army behind him in time without waiting for his own news, then he may be able to turn around and come back immediately, even if he can't defeat them, at least he can win some time and wait for the arrival of backups.

Thinking of this, Jimda shook his head, he thought too simply, this is just the best possibility, and in actual war, there is almost never the best outcome, but the most unlucky possibility has the highest chance of appearing. But now, apart from this best expectation, he can't hold this Epsommiton City.

Just when Jimda was struggling inside. Several people came to him. Jimda became even more irritated when he saw these people, they were Bodeka, the administrator of Epsommiton. Lysius, who is in charge of coordinating the logistics and supplies, and Miss Tia. These people, without exception, are people in charge of civilian work. The attack of the enemy must have made these people panic, and they came to themselves to find psychological comfort, and they were full of anxiety and did not know who to talk to, and three more people came to add to the blockage.

"Is it true that the Priest Army is coming, Master Jimda?" A tremor could be heard clearly in Bodeka's voice.

Jimda nodded. Lysius frowned when he saw it: "Although the city defenses of Epsommiton City are strong, there are only a thousand in the city."

Jimda raised a hand to stop Lysius's words: "Two adults, I know what you say, if you don't mind, please let me be quiet and think of a way, okay?" ”

"But you can't think of a way. Isn't it? Master Jimda. Tia said coldly: "With all due respect, my lord, you are a person who is good at charging into battle, and defense is not your specialty in the first place, and thinking is even more not. ”

Hearing this, Jimda couldn't help but rush to his head with anger, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Tia said this, it seems that she has some advice, right?" ”

"I can't talk about advice, but Master Jimda is really not suitable to be the commander of the city defense, and you yourself don't have the confidence to command this siege battle." Tia's tone didn't flinch in the slightest.

"Then ask Miss Tia to lead the whole army against the attack of the priest army." Jimda grew angrier, stood up and approached Tia.

Jimda was born a bandit. There has always been a fierce aura on his body, although he is not as aggressive as Li Tianhao's momentum, ordinary people will be deterred in front of him. Bodecka and Lysius couldn't help but take a step out of the way. Instead of flinching, Ketia stepped forward and said, "The little woman knows how many catties she has. I don't dare to take on such a big responsibility, but I can recommend a more suitable person. ”

Jimda sneered and said, "Who? ”

"Mistress Jimda really has no memory. We also have a former Kanno clan leader in our city, Elaine, the wife of Lord Muller. Tia said lightly.

Jimda threw his head back as if he had been hit by Tia's uppercut. Indeed, Elaine's martial arts and command skills were enough to occupy a place in the Tier Army. It's just that after marrying Muller, she rarely showed up, so much so that she even ignored her existence. However, Jimda still refused to admit defeat and retorted, "Miss Tia is right. Lord Elaine is indeed more suitable for the position of commander than the subordinates, but with only a thousand soldiers on his hands, I'm afraid that even Lord Elaine will not be able to do anything. ”

Tia nodded: "That's true, it's really difficult to hold with the current strength, but that's the main purpose of the little girl coming to you." There was also the priest of Ancadiri and his more than 4,000 cathars. ”

"Them?" Jimda pouted. Regardless of how much Jimda himself hates these people, after Li Tianhao fell out with this group of guys, it is a question of whether they are willing to help, and even if these people are willing to help defend the city, their combat effectiveness is not trustworthy at all, and it may even affect the morale that is already in danger.

Tia seemed to see Jimda's mental activity, and smiled: "Master Jimda, you are wrong. Not only will these people work together with us to defend the city, but they will also become valuable fighting power. ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"If it is the regular army of Aki who is coming, then it should be said that it is the army of the priests of Aki who are attacking the city this time. They believe in the god Ra. A wicked smile appeared on Tia's face.

Jimda then understood. Yes, this group of priest army who believe in the god Ra, their fanaticism is certainly not comparable to ordinary people, then the missionary group and the cathar army that preach the god Amun in the Epsmiton area have become out-and-out villains in their eyes, if the city of Epsommiton falls, others may still have a glimmer of life, and these members of the missionary group and the cathar army will never be forgiven by them, they are afraid that they will die a tragic death after being abused. Then these people must also do their best to fight against the priest army in order to protect themselves, and as long as these more than 4,000 people join, it is no longer impossible to hold on for two days or even longer.

Thinking of this, Jimda bowed deeply to Tia and said, "Miss Tia, I apologize to you for my previous powerless behavior, and ask Miss Tia to persuade the priest of Ancadiri to help her, regardless of her previous suspicions, and immediately go to Lord Mueller's mansion to ask Lord Elaine to help." The situation is urgent, please Miss Tia do not prevaricate. ”

Tia looked at the humble posture of this brave general, and couldn't help but show a smile of relief: Jimda is not one of the outstanding generals of the Dils army, whether it is martial arts, the ability to command battles, or the ability to strategize, it is not outstanding, and his temper is very impatient, but such a general still has a broad mind and belly. Being able to promote and dominate such a group of subordinates, it is no wonder that Li Tianhao was able to achieve such huge results in just a few years.

"Master Jimda is serious, and the little woman should do her best." Tia returned the salute and said slowly. (To be continued......)
