Mansha is not a layman, and looking at their formation, you can roughly judge their actual combat strength.

The army outside the checkpoint is well-coordinated and strictly organized, and these alone show that the combat power is good. Add to that the sheer size and complete configuration, and you can roughly imagine how terrible this army would be.

After understanding this, her face became more and more solemn, and she quickly thought about countermeasures.......

However, what made her even more unpredictable was where this army came from and what was its purpose?

It stands to reason that Shining Gold Town is not very big, and she has long paid attention to the slightly stronger force, but she has never heard of such a strong force.

If they were from outside, it would be impossible for such a large battle to be completely secretive, and unless all the checkpoints along the way surrendered or were overcome, it was possible to suppress the news as much as possible.

But it is conceivable that this possibility is very small, you must know that a large-scale campaign, involving a wide range, is not just as simple as victory or defeat, but also related to the division of interests, as long as someone is dissatisfied with the result, they may try their best to spread the news, ask for help, it is impossible to hide so well.

"What if they're the Empire's regular warband?" Mansha snapped the thought, but then shook her head in denial.

Because the lord of Shining Gold Town has just succeeded him and has not shown any signs of rebellion, even if they are regular warbands of the empire, they do not need to put up an attack formation, as long as they prove their identity, they can enter the level smoothly.......

"Could it be....... What they showed at the other levels, they all passed freely, so there was no news, and when they got here, they changed their normal behavior and wanted to break the level?" she thought of this possibility again.

But then he denied it....... Because there's no need for that!

"Even if the death of the previous lord is a bit strange, as long as they are stationed here and put pressure, they will be able to investigate smoothly, and there is no need to attack a checkpoint regardless of the cost and consequences!" Mansha thought with some distress.

Suddenly, another thought popped up in her mind, but she was even more confused: "By the way, the road leading to the outside world in Shining Gold Town, one from the Twilight Forest, the other from the Forgotten Canyon, no matter which direction you go, it is not an easy task, how did such a large team get in?"

She unconsciously hammered the flagpole in front of her, and said to herself: "Could it be that those garrison officers got some rumors and hurriedly joined forces to come here to intimidate the new lord?....... No, if they had this kind of ability, they would willingly live in a snail's place and be a small garrison?"

What even she can't do, even those relatively mediocre garrison officers, can't do it.......

....... In a very short period of time, she thought of countless possibilities, but denied them one by one. And this army was like falling from the sky, without any sign at all.

An opponent like this is also the most difficult to deal with, and it is impossible to target it at all.

Seeing that the opponent's formation was becoming more and more mature, and it had reached the point where she could test the attack, she had no choice but to get rid of distracting thoughts and concentrate on the current danger.

Suddenly, she turned to look at the panicked squadron leader behind her, and said solemnly: "The other party is big, the origin is unknown, and the intention to attack the level is already very obvious." I order you to close the main entrance immediately, set up obstacles, and prepare all your staff for battle. ”

After the squadron leader received the order, he said with a bitter face: "My lord, there are only six squads in this level....... There are less than 70 people, and the other side has at least 1,000 people, and maybe 2,000....... They are fully equipped, and their combat power is equal to that of the Imperial Warband. I just fight to the death, and I can't resist it at all!"

It is indeed a bit embarrassing to be cowardly before fighting, but the current situation is indeed the case.

Mansha had a cold face, and did not reprimand him, and reassured: "You don't have to worry, there are still more than 100 elites in the lord's mansion, and reinforcements will come as soon as possible, and the new lord also has an artifact, and when necessary, it can also be used once to completely reverse the victory or defeat." ”

"Artifact?" the squadron leader was a little incredulous.

In order to boost morale, Mansha explained a few more words: "In the past few days, the people who have entered and exited the checkpoint should have mentioned that in the twilight forest outside the Huya Pass, there was a strange scene of starfall, that is, the actual effect of the lord's artifact. If we really get to the point of using an artifact, we have no chance of failing!"

The squadron leader had indeed heard similar rumors, and he didn't believe it at the time, but now after confirming it from Mansha, he immediately believed it seven or eight points.

Moreover, in the current situation, he would rather believe in it than believe in it, otherwise he will despair.......

When the squadron leader's eyes shone again, Mansha continued to advise: "While you strengthen your defense, quickly send spies and ride to the lord's mansion to report the situation here, and ask the lord to send reinforcements as soon as possible." ”

"Command!" As soon as the squadron leader turned around, Mansha added.

"I beg your lord, to prepare for the use of the artifact in advance. Mansha reminded her loudly.

Most of the surrounding guards heard the conversation between the two and learned that there was still a possibility of victory, and their morale recovered quickly. After confirming once again that the lord really had an artifact, the courage that was about to collapse also returned.

After the squadron leader received the order to leave, he immediately sent a spy and rode to the lord's mansion to report the news.

The spy whipped and galloped, and the pedestrians on the road panicked and avoided him, and when he was far away, they all jumped to their feet and cursed.

The spies weaved through the streets, and as they were about to enter South Street, a small group of patrolling guards forcibly blocked their way.

After the spy was forced to stop, he scolded angrily: "You get out of the way quickly, I am ordered by the garrison officer to report a major emergency to the lord as soon as possible." If it is delayed because of your obstruction, you will all go to the gallows at that time!"

However, the patrol team did not get out of the way and quickly surrounded him.

The spy was shocked and was about to reaffirm his mission when he was forcibly pulled off his horse.

"What do you want to do? let go of me......." the spy said angrily, struggling.

"Brother, give up resistance, and you can suffer less, otherwise our brother will knock you out!" the leader of the squad persuaded in a low voice.

"How dare you ........" Before he could finish his sentence, he felt his eyes darken and passed out.

The squad leader waved, and the patrol took the horses, picked up the spies, and swaggered into a remote and deserted alley.

The onlookers did not dare to provoke the patrol, and most of them stayed away.......

After the patrol entered the alley, another team that had been waiting there quickly caught up, and the leader of the team, Shi Li, said: "Captain Elantra, the five teams that were ordered to infiltrate have been contacted and are hiding nearby, but they can converge at any time. ”

"The spies who ordered the order have been intercepted, and the follow-up plan can be continued. I ordered, leave the sixth squad, continue to disperse, and try to capture any more spies passing by, but be careful not to kill them. After the rest of the team converged, they rushed with me along the main road to the southeast checkpoint to welcome the adults into the checkpoint. Elantra ordered.

After the people received the order, one of them took out a small gong, and after striking it three times three times, the sound of footsteps was immediately heard in the distance. Soon, four more squads appeared at the other end of the alley.

Elantra walked out of the alley quickly, waved at the people who had just gathered, and said loudly: "The whole team moves forward, do what is ordered!"

Everyone responded in unison, and after a dozen breaths, they were ready to go.

Elantra glanced at everyone with satisfaction, took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and led the long procession, running out of the alley and heading straight to the checkpoint in the southwest direction.

On the way, a patrol came across the team, and when they saw that they were in a hurry, they did not dare to come forward to ask, so they let them go.......

When Elantra led the group to the level, Mansa was thinking about the defense on the high wall, and when she learned that the reinforcements had arrived, she was still a little stunned, because it was too fast.......

But then she thought that the warning bell had already sounded at the level, and even a beacon fire had been lit, and the lord might have been prepared after noticing the message here........ So, she didn't care too much about these inappropriatenesses.
