Groni shook his head and sighed, "You young man, you're still too young and lacking in life experience. The other party did lose nearly 10,000 soldiers, and lost a lot of steam cannons and baggage, but after all, it still occupied the city. According to the investigation of the royal secret agents in the past few decades, the enemy's city defense is not simple, and there are eight turrets alone! The artillery emplacements on a single wall are roughly estimated to be as many as fifty, and this city is pentagonal, which means that if we attack from any direction, we will face the fire of both walls! The firepower of hundreds of steam cannons is not comfortable! ”

Napoli frowned and continued: "Indeed, this five-sided diamond-shaped city plan was an idea put forward by the brave men of the other world back then, which was originally to prevent the strength of the southern subordinate, but now it has become the primary obstacle. Hmm, Your Excellency Groni, even if the other side has the blessing of tower height, in terms of artillery distance, our new steam cannons still have an advantage, why don't we use artillery to solve these steam cannons first, and arrange for the Maharaja to attack the city? ”

After hearing this, Groni glanced at Naples, and replied angrily: "Don't mention those turrets, they are tall and thin, and they are also strengthened by magic, how many cannonballs do you have to shoot down?" And those artillery emplacements on the city walls, how many more cannons are we going to shoot? You know, these shells are not old-fashioned solid shells, they are expensive, the quantity is small, and they are difficult to transport! We can't afford to spend too much on the first stop! ”

"But if we don't knock out the steam cannon, in the case of the Jun's strong attack, our losses will be great!" Napoli was a little anxious, and continued to say quickly: "Your Excellency, the number of new monarchs is not large, plus the monarch team of the southern guard, it is only more than 50,000, and the monarch team of the other guards will not arrive for a while. Too little Junli, it is difficult to guarantee the success rate of the attack! Your Excellency, in the event of a failed assault, I am afraid that the Maharaja's morale and strength will be seriously damaged! ”

"I'm not stupid, how could I order a strong attack!" Groni sighed, looked at the sand table, and muttered: "It's just that if we can't take this city quickly, as soon as the other party's reinforcements arrive, our chances of winning will be even smaller, and the loss will be even greater!" ”

When Naples heard this, he stopped talking, and looked down at the sand table, thinking carefully about how to break the game. At this time, the guards ran in to report that it was the brave woman who asked to see her. The two of them looked at each other, and immediately asked the guards to invite Scarlet in.

"Brave, is there any news from Achille City?" Naples excitedly stepped forward and asked.

"Well, there's already news... Scarlet nodded, giving them an overview of what Mitre had discovered, emphasizing the information on the strange team.

Groni listened to the information and was a little incredulous. If it weren't for the fact that this matter came from the mouths of these brave men from other worlds, he would have suspected that the other party was a spy sent by the enemy. It's just that he looked back and thought about it, during this period of time, when the Maharaja's scouts went out to reconnoitre, they didn't find any scouts sent by the Achilles, either the enemy didn't send scouts at all, or the enemy's scout level was too high. Now it seems that it is more likely to be the former.

However, this further illustrates that the situation is not right, and in the case of the enemy's Maharaja's pressure, it is impossible not to send scouts out to reconnoitre, which will lose valuable pre-war information, and will allow the opponent to calmly collect information and be more free to do as he pleases when attacking the city.

After pondering, Naples asked, "Your Excellency Gronnie, as for that horse corps, which is so scarce and not like a soldier, and the other party's city is almost unfortified and unprepared for battle, I suspect that they may have a tendency to surrender. ”

Groni blinked his eyes and said, "Well, that's what I thought, but ah, it still doesn't make sense." The bald man of Tritel, as well as the Treeux, are the culprits to be captured alive as much as possible! Even if they ask to surrender, it will be difficult to escape responsibility, and even if they do not die, they will be imprisoned for life. Well, if we had already launched an attack and had gained a great advantage, it would have made sense for them to make such a choice. But now there is no war, it's just that Wei Suojun took the new weapon and gave them a hard time, this shouldn't have come to this point, right?! ”

Naples also found it strange that it stands to reason that such a rebel who had rebelled for three generations would never surrender so easily. It's just that the information obtained so far is too little to make the next judgment, so we can only quietly wait for the arrival of the other party's envoy.

After waiting for an hour and a half, the envoys of Achilli finally arrived at the camp of the Maharaja, and the group was placed in a makeshift tent at the entrance of the camp and watched. Soon, the two leaders were taken into the main tent by the soldiers.

"Honorable Duke Engelov, owner of Achilly City, the Treeu family salutes you!" One of the older men saluted.

"Humph! The city of Achilla belongs to Your Majesty! The whole kingdom belongs to Your Majesty! Groni narrowed his eyes and retorted loudly: "Say, tell me about the purpose of your coming here, so that I can not hold you accountable for your disrespect to the royal power!" ”

The messenger choked at once, and for a moment was speechless. The younger and more shrewd messenger on the side hurriedly replied: "Well, Your Excellency Duke Engelov, we are here to put an end to the war. The Lord of the City is willing to surrender unconditionally to make up for the great mistakes he has made over the past few decades! ”

Napoli and Gronnie looked at each other in disbelief. As the coach of the monarch's team, and with many years of political career, Gronnie, as the minister of the monarchy, will naturally not be overjoyed by a few kind words and a promise that is uncertain whether it is true or false. He thought about it for a moment and said, "This really surprised me a little, but there is no basis for words, especially at this point in time! Your city lord, there's nothing to hand over to me?! ”

When the envoy heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, there are quite a few, all of them are important information!" ”

"Then take it out~!" Groni stretched out his hand.

"Well," the two messengers were a little embarrassed, "the documents and letters, along with the others, were stopped at the gate of the camp, and the guards forbade us to carry them. ”

Groni didn't procrastinate, pointed directly at the young man, and said, "You, follow the soldier back to get it, bring everything you can bring, don't play tricks!" I'll let them check! ”

"Yes, I'll go."

Soon, the messenger arrived in front of Groni with a large bag of goods, and then placed all the materials on the table. He opened his mouth and introduced: "Your Excellency, here is a detailed map of the city, a detailed map of the surrounding area, especially this one, which is a detailed introduction to the road conditions of the main road from Achilly City to Lochlian City. This thick book is the middle and high-level roster of the Jun team, and almost all the generals and non-commissioned officer information are on it. There is also this, which is a detailed list of the current Junku, which records the types and quantities of the current Junbi. We didn't bring other municipal-related materials because there were too many, but we brought the key to the warehouse where the materials were kept, and you can send someone to take them over after you enter the city to take over. Finally, there is a letter from the lord of the castle to you. ”

Groni looked at the materials that filled the small table, a little stunned. Naples, on the other hand, quickly picked up the materials and examined them, and then he found that the paper was old, the handwriting was dry and even somewhat faded, and it did not look like a temporary forgery. Add some values and compare them carefully, and it doesn't look like something made up.

Napoli put down the information and nodded at a somewhat stunned boss. The result of his subordinates' confirmation made Groni even more confused, and he picked up the letter, rudely broke off the seal of the ink, and took out the letter inside. The letter paper felt very good, it was a high-quality product imported from the church, and the ink with special spices was added, and the residual aroma was still there, which made Groney judge that the other party's time to write the letter would not be too long.

With the letter in hand, Groni read it carefully. The contents of the letter were nothing more than a plea for mercy and repentance, which came as no surprise to him. But the calmness and ease shown in the letter made Groni's hair stand on end. This is not only a letter of peace, but also a suicide note, a farewell letter.

"This was brought by your city lord?!" Groni asked, a little flustered.

"Yes, the Lord of Tritel City personally explained it, these things, he specially explained, and they must be delivered to you!" The messenger nodded in reply.

"It's broken~.." Groni muttered to himself.

At this time, in the city lord's study, Tritter took out a bottle of fine wine, uncorked it, filled the wine glass, and looked at the bearded monarch who was quite restless on the side.

"Cook, do you want a drink?" He shook the bottle and asked with a smile.

The tall, strong, bearded monarch had a headache in his head, he was Tritle's confidant, and he was in charge of the city's defenses. The loyal veteran couldn't help but sigh and said, "Lord of the City, I have removed most of the monarch's troops according to your wishes, leaving only the real personal guards. It's just, are people from the royal family really credible? Won't they take the opportunity to settle down with us and plunder the city's citizens?! ”

"Don't worry, it's true that in the past few decades, we have stumbled the royal family a lot, but we have at least openly rebelled! Well, at least not before, as for the previous sortie, it almost didn't bring any losses to Wei Suojun, and I won't blame you for it. As for the people in the city, there is no need to worry, after all, they are in the name of counterinsurgency, and it is impossible for them to do such a thing after we surrender. ”

With that, Trittle raised the glass to his nose and sniffed it a few times before taking a deep sip. Cook, who was on the side, looked at the city lord's actions, frowned, and asked, "What about you, my lord?" What do you do? They won't let you go! And what about the ladies and young masters? Uh, by the way, it seems that the subordinates haven't seen them in a few days... ”

Before the words fell, the veteran understood, and the strong man looked at the city lord in surprise, and was speechless for a while.

Trittle smiled and nodded at the veteran, and said with a smile: "Everything is ready, well, Cook, go down, the order in the city is all up to you to maintain, and when it comes to handover, there must be no mistakes." ”

"Your Excellency..." Cook was anxious, a little excited to speak
