Guy's words made Zeno stunned, and in the process of getting along with Allen, he was very clear about Allen's thoughts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info That is the separation of military and government. Allen never referred the affairs of the army to the cabinet for discussion, and always grasped it all at once. So Zeno cautiously asked, "The general might as well speak up."

Guy nodded, then gave Constantine a look. Constantine understood, and immediately walked out of the room with the guards around him, and stood outside the door at the same time.

It wasn't until Guy and Zeno were the only ones left in the room that Guy spoke.

"First of all, Your Excellency, I'm afraid this battle to defend the city is not so easy."

"But didn't the general just say that defending the city is not a problem? How...

Guy sighed, and that's what was going on.

"I was afraid that the wall would have ears, so I said that. First, the number of rebels is somewhat larger than expected. Second, in fact, in this battle, the Duke also intends not to intervene, and it is all up to us to fight. ”

Hearing Guy say this, Zeno also asked anxiously, "This... How can this be? Why do you want to do that?"

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister should understand that although the Duke has implemented a new policy, the old habits are not so easy to change, and Essis has not experienced war for more than ten years, and people are inert and have not faced danger, so what incentive does he have to change his life. At present, it seems that most people are still holding a wait-and-see attitude towards the new deal. If you want to accelerate the speed of development, you need a baptism of blood and fire. ”

"So that's why the lives of your people are going to die!" Zeno asked angrily.

"Where do you get if you don't pay? The future is not something that can be obtained by sitting at home, but by everyone's efforts. Without such an awareness, it would be impossible to follow the left and right of the Duke. Guy looked straight into Zeno's eyes.

"But... But... ”

"Your Excellency Zeno, you are the most trusted person of the Duke, and I believe that you will not disappoint the Duke." With that, Guy bowed. "Then, I'll leave first."

With that, Guy left directly, leaving Zeno alone in the room.

Although Zeno has a knighthood, but the honorary title does not mean that he is a real nobleman. Although I have experienced a lot of wars between nobles, most of them are as spectators, and then I make some comments lightly. He never imagined that there would be a time when he would actually experience war. Suddenly, Zeno's heart also rose with a hint of emotion that he was doing a great cause.

Looking at the map of Essis placed on the table, Zeno silently took a deep breath.

The breeze blew gently, and the grass swayed slightly. The cries of the birds gradually became noisy, and they all woke up from their slumber, and went out in groups to find food.

If there is a gentle and lovely girl by your side at this time, she will wake you up softly in her ear, it will be heaven on earth.

It's a pity that what the soldiers are waiting for is not the glutinous soft cry of the girl, but the whistling whip.

Syllable! A heavy whip slammed into the ground with a loud thud. The soldiers sleeping on both sides woke up instantly, and before they had time to wipe the drool, they hurriedly crawled up from the ground.

"Stupid pigs, get up for me."

The knights with whips rode around the camp on tall horses, whipping the sleeping camp with their whips.

By the time the sun had fully revealed the horizon, the entire camp had fully awakened. The soldiers took out their rations - a piece of hard, thick black bread, accompanied by water from the river on the side, and ate breakfast like this.

Chris got up from the ground tiredly, and although there was a thick wool blanket on the ground, he could still feel the hardness and unevenness of the ground.

Rubbing his eyes, Chris sat sleepily in the tent with a long table in front of him, on which was a plate with a few slices of white bread and a piece of roast lamb the size of half a palm, and a glass of wine beside it.

Gently rubbing the knife on the roast lamb, Chris found that he couldn't cut it at all. A shaker realized that this was no longer Allen's barracks, but his own camp. There are no skilled cooks, just a group of second-rate waiters who can only ensure that the meat is cooked.

Thinking of this, Chris became more and more depressed, hastily finished breakfast, opened the curtain of the tent, the sun had risen, the sky was full of white clouds, and the ground was dry and windless.

Well, it's a good day. Chris thought to himself.

"Herald, assemble!"

The desolate trumpet sounded. The entire barracks came alive at once, and the soldiers began to look for their lords with their equipment. The knights, with the help of their squires, put on their heavy armor and rallied to Chris's side.

"Lord Baron, are you going to begin?" A voice came from the side, and Griffin was seen wearing simple leather armor and riding a horse to Chris's side.

Chris smiled at the owner and said, "Mr. Griffin is here." Yes, the weather is perfect today, and there are no nasty spring rains. I would also like to thank Mr. Griffin for his support. ”

Griffin laughed and said, "Your Excellency the Baron, I have a gift for you today." Your Excellency, please come with me. ”

"Ahh Joseph shook his body, the early spring morning was still a little cold.

Guy looked at the young man beside him and said, "Just leave the defense here to me, Your Excellency should go back and take shelter."

In the face of Guy's kindness, Joseph persistently shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, but the Prime Minister asked me to assist the general, and I dare not slack off in the slightest. The general doesn't have to worry about me. ”

Guy saw that Joseph was unwilling, so he did not speak. Turning his head, he picked up his binoculars and looked at Chris's camp in the distance.

Soldiers in the distance lined up in a kilometer-long line. Row after row pressed like the waves of the sea. Flags of all kinds swayed gently in the wind. The sound of armor crashing against each other could be faintly heard, even if it was so far away. The enemy troops were getting closer and closer, and soon came to a halt about five hundred meters from the city wall. This distance can be seen even with the naked eye.

Most of the soldiers defending the city were recruits who were still training in the barracks and guards from the city guard post who had rushed to the head of the city. Most of them have no experience in war, and if they maintain law and order, they can do it, but in the face of such a suppressive and strong atmosphere of war, many people are still afraid in their hearts.

It didn't take long for a group of centaurs to come to the city of Essis carrying Chris's blue-background castle flag. As a veteran of the battlefield, Guy naturally understood that the other party was asking for negotiations in accordance with the consistent rules of war. (To be continued.) )
