Chapter 1343 Bad News and Response
Thinking of this, Oswell was always a little suspicious, what he and the chamberlain did was extremely hidden, and his wife and brother were also a clever ghost, so it was impossible for him to show his feet, and he was still completely seen through. In addition, after he came back, he thought about it carefully, and the chamberlain named Alfontelai was not the kind of strange fool who was stupid enough to write the evidence of the crime in his diary. So, where did President Walter learn about his handle? There are other people's black materials, and it doesn't seem like they can be collected in a short period of time, that old fox, there must be some unsightly and powerful black hand behind him pushing him.
It's just that in the past two months, the provisional government formed by this old fox has really been a bit embarrassing. Nothing was official, except for the empty promise of titles and territories in exchange for the support and assistance of the people. For two months, the order for the transfer and reinforcement issued by the president was carried out seriously by the city lord of Kolot. Others simply used Lingxin as waste paper and threw it away without reading it. Oswell had thought that this old thing would try to build his own army and consolidate his position, but two months later, he didn't do anything, and he sat in Kleikin's office as his bare president!
Retracting his thoughts in disgust, Oswell sneered, and now he could only take one step at a time and try his best to defend himself. And that old fox is about to receive bad news in a few days, and when the time comes, he wants to see what the old fox and the forces hidden in the shadows will think of it!
What Oswell didn't know was that Walter had already received the news, even before him. This has also led to the fact that this sixty-year-old man, who has aged a lot in the past two months, has become more old.
"Emissary, what you said is true?!" Walter looked at the black-robed man in front of him, looking nervous and surprised.
"Of course! It was reported by the faithful members of my church in Achille, you need not doubt it! A hoarse response came from the black robe.
"How good is that! How can this be ... It's so easy to lose.。。。。 Walter muttered to himself, his eyes blank.
"Hehe, Your Excellency the President, do you have anything you want me to bring to the Prophet?!" The black-robed man looked at the panicked old man and asked in a mocking tone.
"Ah, this... Oh, of course there is... Walter hurried back to his senses, and at the same time took out his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the cold sweat from his face.
"Please tell Bei... Ah, the Prophet, say I ask him! Send reinforcements! The city of Achilli has been lost, and the city of Loklian cannot be lost again! If both cities are occupied, the opening of the southern invasion will be opened! Wherever they want to fight, they can fight there~。。 Walter hurriedly explained.
"Enough!" The black-robed man snorted coldly and interrupted Walter's words, "Don't forget, Your Excellency 'President', you are just a pawn in the hands of the prophet, and you can discard it at any time. Even you, the pathetic and uninteresting Southern Confederate, are the same. Try to show your value, otherwise, useless people will be discarded by us at any time! ”
"But..." Walter struggled, then calmed down: "Yes, messenger, you are right, I lost my words. But my request, please bring it to the Prophet, please! ”
"Hehehehe~! I will, Your Excellency the President, and then leave it at that. The black-robed man turned around with a smile and strode into the distance, and soon disappeared into the dense forest.
Walter, who was constantly being fooled and ridiculed, also had a fire in his heart, but the news he received just now was too terrifying, and he had completely lost the spare time to vent his anger.
Later, as soon as the carriage stopped, Walter opened the door, got out of the car quickly, and walked to his office. As he passed by the secretary's office on the other side, he leaned down and shouted to Hadim, who was busy with his work, "Hadim, come to my office, I have something important!" Immediately! Right away! ”
"Okay, Your Excellency~" Hajim was slightly stunned, hurriedly responded, then put down the documents in his hand, got up and followed into the president's office.
As soon as Hajim entered, he saw Walter standing at the table with a serious face, looking at him. This made Hajim slightly frightened, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" Your Excellency the President. ”
"Hadhim!" Walter raised his right hand, his index finger upward, and said seriously: "What I say next is important and true information, no matter how exaggerated and unreasonable it is, don't let me explain, understand?!" ”
"Uh, yes, Your Excellency." Hajim blinked, "Say it, the lower officials will listen." ”
"The city of Achilli is lost." Walter threw out the bombshell news with a calm expression.
"What~!! How... Belch.. Hajim swallowed the question into his stomach, and after struggling for more than ten seconds, he asked, "Your Excellency, when is this coming?" How did the city get lost? ”
Walter looked at Hadgem's performance, a little relieved, and replied, "Three days ago, the fool that Trittle killed that day, he dedicated the city to the puppet emperor!" ”
Hajim's mouth was wide open, unable to say anything, just looking at the president stupidly. Walter smiled bitterly and continued: "That bastard, gave the city to the Maharaja, and then ended himself! Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!!! This scoundrel died an easy death, but left us with a mess! Hajim, the Rebel Lord has nothing to lose, they are already starting to take control of the city of Achilli, and when the follow-up forces converge, they will definitely send troops to attack the city of Loklian! Just in the next few days! ”
Hajim took a deep breath and tried to digest the bombshell news, and then, somewhat helplessly, said to Walter: "Your Excellency, our plan has failed, and it has lost more than we expected, and we have not made any follow-up preparations for this situation. After all, no one really would have expected that the city lord of Tritel would be able to do such a thing, please come! ”
"Yes, I didn't think it was because of our negligence, but now! We've got to come up with a follow-up plan! Otherwise, it will be too late! Walter slapped the table, "Hadhim, haven't you arrived yet?!" The garrison of Loklian is insufficient, and we need more soldiers and weapons! This matter cannot be delayed any longer! ”
"Well, Your Excellency the President, the news in this regard is not good, except for the monarch of Zhimashi City, the monarch of other cities is nowhere to be seen. Well, but since you have received such important information, it is better to send a letter to the cities of Katai and Sanrako, and ask the reinforcements of these two cities to rush to the city of Loklian as soon as possible. Well, the lord of Loklian City should have been informed of the fall of Achille, and you should send him a letter to let him know that your determination and the upcoming aid have stabilized the heart of Loklian City. Hajim thought about it and made a proposal.
"Damn it! When is it, those idiots still don't want to contribute money and effort! I should have gone one step ahead of the tyrants and hanged them all! Walter was angry for a moment, and then nodded in approval: "Hadim, your proposal is quite good. However, the cities of Katai and Sanrako are not large, and their reinforcements are limited, and it is estimated that the total number of people who can be sent over is only 10,000. Hmm, write more letters, so that all the idiots around you know this bad news. By the way, tell them that that Tretel idiot died at the hands of the royal assassins, understand! ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Hajim nodded, and then asked, "Then what should be done with the remnants of the Trire family, well, the subordinates are saying that the remnants of the Tree family?" They must have fled south. Do you want? ”
"Hey!" Walter interrupted Hajim's question and shook his head: "It's useless, the city has been lost, and the others are dead, even if you catch his family, what can you change?" Forget it, let them go. ”
Oswell stood on the wall, directing his soldiers and men to strengthen the wall. The city of Loklian is not as good as the city of Achille, from the beginning, it was built as a transit point for commerce, the whole city is a long rectangular shape, in terms of layout, it is narrow and narrow in the north and south, and thick and narrow in the east and west. A total of sixteen city gates, all open in the north and south sides, in order to transport the convenience and special design, indeed greatly facilitate the entry and exit of materials in and out of the rotation, but also in the city defense, that is a big disadvantage. Not to mention that the city wall is more than 20 meters high, and there is not even a turret.
Ironically, the murder of the envoy caused the city of Loklian to lose the trust of the royal family. Coupled with the betrayal of Achille City and the suppression of many other southern cities, the original commercial center of Loklian City lost almost all of its customers, and the entire city was instantly depressed, and it has not recovered until now.
Oswell wiped the hot sweat from his head, his mouth was bitter, it had been three days, and he had personally gone into battle every day to arrange and supervise the work of fortifying the city. Originally, his city defense officer also proposed to dig a trench under the city and arrange soldiers to garrison the defense. But in the end, it was found that this soldier was not enough to cover the north and south walls, so he could only do it.
Reinforcements from the cities of Katai and Sanrako arrived, one with six thousand, the other with more than four. Although the number is small, it is well-equipped and the morale is high. Oswell took a look at it, these reinforcements are quite well-trained, although most of them have green faces and not many hairy mouths, they should not have fought any battles, and they will not be too reliable when it comes to starting a war. It's just that now it's better than nothing, and he can only pinch his nose to admit it.
