Chapter 42: Planning
Charlie, who got the unexpected news, didn't dare to rest again all the way, for fear that he would be late to go back and his territory would be gone.
"Phew!" Charlie finally rushed back to the territory before sunset, "Castle, go to the castle first," Charlie muttered.
Fastening his horse, he hurriedly ran towards the castle.
In the castle, "No, brother-in-law, you look like a bandit, I said that there seems to be a lot of things missing lately, so ......" Arrin stopped and reached for a crockery on the cabinet next to him.
"Uh-huh!" Alan coughed awkwardly, "Isn't this a look, just a look." β
"Alright, don't make a fuss, presumably there will be news tonight at the latest. Gna looked at the two of them and said speechlessly, they are really still children.
"Lord Baron, something has happened, something has happened. A faint voice came from outside the door.
"Charlie, this is Charlie's voice, it seems that he has come back to report the news. Unable to hear what was being said, Arrin said with a smile.
"Oh no, someone's going to attack the ground!" Charlie ran in breathlessly.
"What?!" Yarlin's face changed dramatically at this time.
"What's going on, make it clear!" asked Gna, frowning.
Charlie took a few breaths and said in a panic: "I was ordered by Captain Yaheng to come back and report the news, oh yes, we have already met Will, and the damage is not great." β
"That's good," Alan said in surprise, and then asked, "But what does this have to do with the territory being attacked?"
"On my way back, when I passed through a forest, I heard a group of people discussing how to attack the Viscount of Amos, and I heard that the El Territory would be defeated first!" Charlie said anxiously.
Everyone who heard the news frowned one by one, and the good mood brought by hearing the good news just now dissipated at once.
Yarlin suddenly asked, "How many people are on the other side?"
"Yes, I don't know how many people the other party has returned?" Allen's eyes lit up, since the Black Bear Village joined the El Territory, the armed forces of the territory have reached nearly a hundred, and they are not afraid of any force at all.
"There were about fifty of them, twenty of whom had horses. Charlie saw that everyone was looking at him, and hurriedly said, "But it seems that there are still people who have not arrived, it seems that a man named Gary has taken some of them, and I heard that they went to loot." β
"That's right, well, I know, Charlie, you haven't rested yet, so let's go down and rest quickly. Yarlin pondered for a moment and said to Charlie.
"Huh?! Charlie was surprised and agreed.
For a moment, the entire hall fell silent.
......
"It's been another day to reach the territory, and I haven't been in the territory for a long time, I don't know if there has been any change in the territory?" said Will, riding a horse beside Yaheng and the black bear.
"Haha, the main thing is that we have joined the territory in Black Bear Village, and the entire territory is now working. The black bear laughed.
The convoy of the group was pulled into a narrow road, with the black bear Yaheng and others in front, the more than three hundred cows in the middle, the mercenaries guarding around them, and the knights behind them.
"You're going to regret it, you'd better let me go, or ...... Hmmm!" Gary shouted, gagged by the mercenary on guard.
"I don't know what the leaders think, why keep this man when they have killed all the captives!" grumbled the mercenary who gagged Gary's mouth.
"This guy seems to be a leader, take it back so that the noble lord can interrogate him. The other mercenary replied.
At the moment before departure, a voice came out of the makeshift tent.
"Leave the leader, and kill the others. β
"Captain, isn't it good to kill prisoners?"
β...... Yes! The knight standing in front of Yaheng was frightened by Yaheng's gaze, and hurriedly replied, hurried down to kill the person captured yesterday.
"I don't want to, but what can I do......" Yaheng muttered.
......
The noon sun emits a strong light, bringing heat through the windows into the halls of the Baron's Castle.
Arrin looked around for a moment, looking at the pensive Alan and Gna, "You are talking, how can you resist the impending attack?"
"What else can I do, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as we wait until Yaheng and the black bear come back, plus the people and horses of the original black bear village in the territory, our powerful armed force is full of eighty people, even if the other party has a hundred people, it can be stopped. Alan said in a deep voice.
Alan still hasn't said a word in his heart, not to mention that if he adds nearly two hundred men to the territory of the territory, even if those people's combat effectiveness is weaker, three with one, there are one hundred and thirty people's combat power, and he is not afraid of any force, and he may even be able to go further.
You know, since Alan became a consul, he specially learned about the situation around the territory, and found that the El Territory is mainly located in the southeast of the Zeize Kingdom, close to two viscounts, which are the territory of the superior Viscount Amos and the enemy Viscount Edmund, and the Viscount of Edmund is actually located on the border of the kingdom, but it is close to the ocean, because of the abundance of products, so it is relatively rich, and the armed forces in the hands are relatively largeγ
Alan recalled the situation of Viscount Edmund, there don't seem to be many knights, about forty, but there is a standing team of bandits under him, although it is not as strong as the knights, but it is better than the number of knights, there are almost hundreds of bandits, which makes it difficult.
However, if I am Viscount Edmund, it is impossible to get all the forces out of the territory, which means that at least fifty people will stay in the territory and not come out, and the number of people who will attack the El Territory is about 100, that's right.
"So Charlie only encountered half of the men sent by the enemy, so where did the remaining half go?"
Big brother, the focus of your attention is a bit of a problem, isn't it important for a viscount to come and attack you, it is amazing, no matter how much he finds, anyway, there will be a hundred people who call it, Alan complained in his heart.
"I have to say that this Viscount can think of it, if there were less than thirty knights in the El Territory before, even if you add the men in the territory, I am afraid that under such an attack, it will collapse all of a sudden. Gna said suddenly.
Alan couldn't agree more.
"If it's only a hundred people, it's easy, and when Yaheng and them come back, the territory will almost be able to block it. Yarlin said with some concern.
"Of course, now wait for Yaheng and them to come back, don't forget, they also brought some mercenaries back!" Alan chuckled.
