Chapter Ninety-Four: Wilkinson
On the walls of the south gate of Yezi Town, Wilkinson looked at the patrol soldiers who were returning to the town, but had suffered heavy casualties, and really felt a tremendous pressure, which he had not experienced and experienced before as an adjutant.
"Damn, how can this be?" Wilkinson punched the battlements, when he was alerted that someone was attacking the sentry post arranged on the main road and the supply team transporting supplies for the outpost, although he attached importance to this time, but he did not think that this matter was so difficult to solve, after all, now he has more than 10 junior knights in his hands alone, plus thousands of elite soldiers of the Golden Lion Collar, he really didn't pay too much attention to small-scale attacks.
But when his reconnaissance team, patrol team, and search team were attacked one after another, he knew that the matter could not be solved so simply. Although the search team below reported that there should be only two attackers, it was these two people who trapped Yezi Town!
One of the two is armed with a bow and arrow, often attacking on the periphery, and it is initially estimated that he has the strength of a junior knight, which belongs to the type of checking and filling gaps, and Wilkinson's people have already recognized the other party - [Hunter] Suta, one of the five sheriffs of the original Curtain City Security Team, although I don't know how he appeared here, but for Wilkinson, this person may have some strength, but in his opinion, Suta's strength is not enough to cause too much trouble.
The real trouble is the second person, the name and title of this person, because of the wanted warrant, have already spread throughout the army in Yez Town in a short period of time - [Death Knight] Baron!
A super monster that can wield a giant axe and a tower shield with one hand!
No matter whose attack could break through Barron's heavy tower shield's defenses, Barron's barbarian battle axe could easily tear through the armor of any soldier.
Attack Barron, but nothing works!
I want to defend, but unfortunately it doesn't work!
When they tried to escape, they found that they ended up dying at the hands of the opposing archers!
Obviously, it is very clear that the other party only has the strength of a junior knight, and it is the kind that has just advanced, such a wanted notice does mislead many people, and many soldiers who want to covet bounties have taken the initiative to participate in search teams and patrols at the beginning, wanting to take the opportunity to kill Barron in exchange for a huge bounty.
After the result was really encountered, I realized that what I encountered was not luck, but misfortune to the extreme.
Even if it is a junior knight, in front of Barron, it is just a little longer than ordinary people, if it runs slowly, then the end is not much different from an ordinary soldier, and the opposite of this situation is a squadron leader under Wilkinson who has the strength of a junior knight.
The squadron leader initially rushed at Barron with great valor, trying to kill or even capture them alive in one fell swoop, but when the supporting troops arrived on the scene in just 2 minutes, all that was found was a body broken in two.
After the junior knights also suffered casualties, the morale of all the soldiers began to decline significantly, as long as they were selected to patrol outside the town, they were all nervous to death, fortunately they did not encounter Barron's attack, and after returning to the town, one by one it was like escaping death, as for those who unfortunately encountered Barron during the patrol, basically they did not come back, and even if they could come back, they were all running fast.
It's not that Wilkinson didn't send a search team, but there were only two people on the other side, and once the search team was crowded, they avoided it without fighting, and found a random place to hide, so that Wilkinson's soldiers could not find anyone.
But as soon as the search team dispersed and began to search, these two men suddenly appeared again, constantly attacking the scattered soldiers, and because of the small number of people scattered, they were often wiped out before they could wait for support.
Wilkinson later even sent most of the army, including himself, and nearly 10 junior knights to lead the team, wanting to completely encircle and suppress the other party, but Barron and the two had no intention of fighting at all, and ran away directly.
But when the search team wanted to return to the town, Barron took the opportunity to sneak up on one of the troops arranged on the periphery, and it was in that attack that the first casualties of the junior knights appeared, and then Wilkinson no longer dared to arrange for the junior knights to go out of the town alone to patrol or something, for fear of encountering Barron again.
Although it is not yet possible to determine whether Barron's specific strength has reached what level, Wilkinson and other junior knight powerhouses almost have the same understanding, intermediate knights, only intermediate knights have such a strong strength, but they did not say it, because once they say it, their morale may be lower.
Basically, it can be said that Wilkinson has basically given up control of the south of Yezi Town, if it weren't for the fear of any new moves on the royal capital's side, Wilkinson wouldn't even want to send out a patrol, and even if they sent out a patrol, the distance they patrol is often only hundreds of miles away from Yezi Town, and there is no preventive effect at all.
And the troublesome thing is not only this, according to the latest news he has obtained, now the royal capital has learned that Lord Harold has captured the end of the city, and the news that the Ice Wind Kingdom is going south to the Silver Snow Castle is also known to the royal capital at the same time.
Now the royal capital has prepared an army to crusade against the four major lords, and Yezi Town will be the first line of defense against the royal capital's army, just like the Golden Lion City.
But the Golden Lion City is a nest that has been run by the Earl Harold family for hundreds of years, and there is no need to talk about the fortifications and personnel reserves, but Yezi Town is different, although in the eyes of outsiders, Yezi Town is now strong in defense and has sufficient manpower.
But the fact is only known to Wilkinson himself, with the current situation in Yezi Town, there are no intermediate knights or above masters in charge, and they lack enough materials to defend the city, and they also lack the intelligence eyes of sentry posts and patrols, not to mention facing the guards regiment with the [Jewel Sword] Duke Dark, even if they encounter the ordinary troops of the kingdom, it will be very difficult to defend.
The materials are good to say, not only have the useless houses in the entire town been demolished, but also from the quarries and lumber mills near the town, a steady stream of all kinds of materials have been mined and transported to the town, and the end city is also constantly transporting materials to Yezi Town, strengthening the defense of Yezi Town, and then as soon as the [Dark Sword] Modern Lord arrives, Yezi Town will be as solid as a rock at that time, even if Barron and Suta are making trouble outside, but at that time, they will not be able to affect the defense of Yezi Town at all.
"But what doesn't seem to be taken into account?" Wilkinson seemed to forget what was wrong: "Oh no, the convoy is in danger!"
