Grell Continent, Poseidon Country, Land by the Sea, Ishikawa Castle.

The lord of the castle, Masahiro Ishikawa, stood on the castle gate, his long silver-white hair fluttering in the wind. He looked at the dense enemy camp in the distance, and his eyebrows were full of worry. If it weren't for the First Legion going out, he wouldn't be so worried now.

"Your Excellency."

The general in charge of guarding the main gate, and also Ishikawa Masahiro's general, Ishikawa Tsugi, stood aside, and he said in a concerned tone: "It seems that the enemy will not attack today, so you should go back and rest for a while." ”

"In this situation, how can I still be in the mood to rest?"

Masahiro Ishikawa withdrew his gaze from the enemy camp and couldn't help but smile bitterly. The enemy had been besieging the city for three days, and during these three days, he was so worried every day that he could not sleep at all. Sometimes he thinks that if the enemy actually attacked, he might not be so nervous.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Ishikawa Quercus, who was always guarding beside him, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart: "This period of time, you have also worked hard, Quercus." ”

"It is the honor of my subordinates to serve my lordship." Ishikawa Tsugi hurriedly bowed down and replied.

Masahiro Ishikawa stretched out his hand to help him up, "You've been with me for so many years, you don't have to be so restrained." ”

"Yes."

Although Ishikawa said yes, his behavior was still respectful. This is his way of life, and it is also what Masahiro Ishikawa appreciates about him.

"Forget it, don't talk about this."

Seeing this, Masahiro Ishikawa had no choice but to shake his head helplessly. He knew that he couldn't persuade Ishikawa Quercus, so he simply changed the topic: "What happened to the soldiers sent to ask for help?" Did you make a breakout? ”

"Not at the moment." Ishikawa Tsugi had a look of shame on his face, and then took the initiative to ask, "My lord, why don't you let me personally lead the team to ask for help!" ”

"No need, going out like this now is completely sending you to death."

Ishikawa Masahiro looked at the layers of enemy camps and sighed, and then he cheered up, "Don't worry too much now, I haven't been in contact with other nearby cities for the past three days, and I guess they should know that the country of snowfields has launched another attack." ”

"That's what my lord said."

Ishikawa Quercus thought for a while and understood.

Traditionally, cities that are close to each other will be contacted once a day through signal towers, but during these three days, because the signal was blocked by the enemy, the signal from outside could not come in, and the signal from the city could not get out. As long as you are not stupid, it is naturally clear what the situation is.

"Huh."

Masahiro Ishikawa smiled, the sky was getting darker and darker, and huge bonfires were lit all over the city wall, illuminating the inside and out, "It seems that they really won't attack today." ”

According to the situation in the previous days, these enemies only besieged and did not know why. However, this will do more good than bad for Ishikawa Masahiro, as long as he can hold out for another three or two days, reinforcements will definitely come.

"Oak wood, the safety of the city wall will be entrusted to you!"

Masahiro Ishikawa felt that he really needed to take a break, and his current state had dropped a lot due to the high level of mental tension in the past few days.

"Your Excellency, don't worry!"

Ishikawa Tsugi knelt on the ground with a sword in one hand, raised his head slightly to look at Ishikawa Masahiro's gaze full of determination: "Even if I die, I won't let them go further!" ”

"Don't say that, in my opinion, your life is far more important than the city walls!"

Ishikawa Masahiro hurriedly pulled Ishikawa Quercus up, and he looked at the energetic guards, and his heart was gradually filled with confidence.

With this heroic army, why fear the enemy's invasion?

"Adult ......"

Ishikawa's eyes were filled with tears, obviously moved by Ishikawa's words. He has a firmer belief in his heart, the city is in the people, the city is dead, and he must not live up to the expectations of adults!

"Oak wood, I won't say more, I'll leave the rest to you!"

Ishikawa Masahiro patted Ishikawa Tsugi on the shoulder, he trusted Ishikawa Tsusaki very much.

"Please rest assured!"

Looking at the back of Masatohiro Ishikawa, Ishikawa Tsugi looked solemn. Even if the enemy showed no signs of attacking, he still had the vigilance he should have.

……

It was late at night, and Ishikawa Tsugi stared intently at the outside of the city, and the enemy still did not move.

"General, take a break."

A pro-soldier with two black circles under his eyes whispered, the guards have changed stubble after stubble, but Ishikawa Tsugi still sticks to the front line. Even if his strength is very strong, there is no need to make such a meaningless consumption.

"It doesn't matter."

Ishikawa Tsugi waved his hand casually, he remembered that he had promised Ishikawa Masahiro, how could he leave his job easily? What's more, for him, even if he doesn't sleep for three days, he can still hold on.

With a long breath of turbidity, Ishikawa Quercus tilted his head slightly: "You guys have been here for so long, you should have been tired a long time ago." There is no war now, so let's go and rest. ”

"General Xie cares, we are not tired."

The guards replied respectfully, but they were complaining in their hearts: If you don't go to rest, how dare we leave without permission?

"Huh."

Ishikawa Tsugi smiled lightly, and was about to persuade them two more words, but suddenly heard a shout from the city.

"It's on fire!"

"It's on fire!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire!"

The flames soared into the sky, the smoke spreading, and the panicked civilians.

Ishikawa Tsugi raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?" What's going on? Do the guards in the city eat dry food? How did you let the fire burn so big? ”

As he spoke, Ishikawa felt a little uneasy in his heart. With all kinds of disaster prevention measures in the city done so well, and the escort patrolling everywhere, how could it suddenly ignite a skyrocketing fire?

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

At this time, the enemy camp outside the city also moved. Countless soldiers jumped out of the tent, and after they quickly lined up in formation, they shouted loudly and advanced layer by layer, which inexplicably made people feel a sense of depression in their hearts.

"Not good!"

Ishikawa's face darkened, and if he couldn't think of a connection between the two, he might as well screw his head off and use it as a toilet.

What needs to be done now is to inform the city lord to destroy the small group of enemy troops that have infiltrated the city, and inform the soldiers who have returned to the camp to rest and quickly return to guard the city walls.

Ishikawa Tsugi's heart was like lightning, and he immediately said to the soldiers behind him: "You, you...... You, go and inform the city lord, inform the patrol officer, and gather the soldiers of the city defense battalion! ”

"Yes!"

The six pro-soldiers who were named out in a row all whispered, and then they worked in pairs and quickly disappeared from Ishikawa's sight.

"All ready! Stone-throwing, crossbows, artillery! ”

The heralds in charge of delivering the message waved small flags in their hands and ran around the city, shouting incessantly.

"Squeak, squeak."

One by one, the sharp weapons of the city were exposed, aimed at the enemy troops outside the city, just waiting for them to go further.

Everything is ready, and the rest depends on whether you can stick to it!

Ishikawa Tsugi looked at the surging crowd outside the city, and couldn't help but pinch his finger bones white.
