At this time, more than half of the troops of the Zhenbei Corps had been gathered under the Golden Lion City, but Barron seemed to feel that the morale of the troops who arrived first under the city did not seem to be very high.

When Barron looked at the Golden Lion City not far away, he found that in addition to the low morale of the personnel of the Zhenbei Corps, there seemed to be a thick layer of fog around the Golden Lion City, which completely shrouded the situation of the Golden Lion City in a dense fog, making it impossible for people to get a glimpse of the real scene of the Golden Lion City.

"Lord Barron, Captain Darker would like you to come to the command!" a herald ran up to Barron and gave a military salute.

"Okay, I see, I'll rush over as soon as I've made arrangements!" Barron said and simply arranged Suta's accommodation, and then followed the herald to the tent of the corps command office.

When he arrived at the tent at the command office, Barron found that there were only three people in the tent, Duke Duck and Auguste, and a young man he had never seen before.

"Barron, you're here!" said Duke Dark, as he saw Barron come in.

"What's going on that requires me to come over?" Barron asked curiously, wondering why Duke Duck was suddenly looking for him.

But after August's explanation, Barron knew why the other party was looking for him, and the Zhenbei Corps' attempt to attack the Golden Lion City failed.

......

......

The Pioneer Battalion and the Sword Battalion were the first batch of Zhenbei Corps troops to arrive at the Golden Lion City, but because the Pioneer Battalion was a pure cavalry unit, more than half of the troops were arranged to pursue the [Crazy Lion] Totini, and the remaining troops were also searching for the rout of the defeated four major lords' armies, so the Pioneer Battalion actually arrived at the Golden Lion City with only two squadrons of cavalry.

On the contrary, the Sword Battalion was the first to arrive at the Golden Lion City with five squadrons, followed by two squadrons of the Sword Battalion, and with the arrival of two battalions from the militia and mercenaries, the first troops in the entire Golden Lion City reached nearly 2,400 people.

These include most of the main forces of the Sword Battalion, the main battalion of the Zhenbei Corps, the cavalry of the two squadrons of the Pioneer Battalion, and the two reorganized militia battalions of the Seventh and Eighth Battalions.

However, when they arrived at the Golden Lion City, they found that the Golden Lion City was actually surrounded by a layer of dense fog, and normal people could not discover the true situation of the Golden Lion City from a distance.

It wasn't until the cavalry of the reconnaissance approached the city wall that they found that the city wall of the Golden Lion City was empty, and there was no one to defend it at all, just like an empty city, the silence was terrifying.

The troops who arrived at the Golden Lion City first were in a dilemma, if they were to attack the Golden Lion City quickly at this time, capture the Golden Lion City in the shortest possible time, and then go all the way to the Curtain City and the Silver Snow Castle.

In fact, many people in this army proposed this, after all, as the leader of this rebellion, the Golden Lion City, to which Count Harold belonged, was even more important than the largest city in Scandand Province and the military town of Silver Snow Castle.

Correspondingly, if that force takes the lead in capturing the Golden Lion City, its credit can be said to be second only to the capture of Count Harold, and even those who are more optimistic will guess whether Count Harold is still in the Golden Lion City.

If Count Harold is really in the Golden Lion City, maybe as long as the troops can attack the Golden Lion City, they will be able to take two great credits at once, and it is possible to end this rebellion early.

And now it's such a good opportunity, the Golden Lion City, which has no one to defend at all, is like a stripped skill and woman, a huge credit can be said to be at your fingertips, how can this not be exciting.

However, as the temporary commander of this force, Auguste still remained calm, and would not easily draw conclusions without determining the situation, in his opinion, the more silent the Golden Lion City is, the more likely it is that the information Barron said is the truth.

Whether it is the empty city wall or this mysterious fog, August is very vigilant, although he has not really seen the so-called immortal monster yet, but August will not risk the lives of his own soldiers.

In the end, August rejected all proposals to attack the Golden Lion City immediately, and instead chose to stay there first, waiting for the arrival of Duke Dark's main force.

However, what August didn't expect was that in the face of the defenseless Golden Lion City and the low-hanging heavenly war exploits, not everyone under his command could persist in the face of great interests.

The main battalion is fine, but the sixth battalion is different from the twelfth battalion, and most of the seven battalions from the sixth to the twelfth battalion are jointly integrated from the militia, the urban defense force, and the security team.

But there is only one battalion that is different from these battalions, and that is the 12th battalion! The main body of this 12th battalion is the integration of various mercenary groups, and it is also the only battalion that is overorganized, originally with more than 1,200 mercenaries.

Although the number of mercenary groups in the mercenary group is now more than 1,000 due to various battle reasons during this time, this group of mercenaries with strong combat effectiveness is still the top battalion in the Zhenbei Corps in terms of overall combat effectiveness, and it is not even weaker than the main battalions such as the Sword Battalion and the Pioneer Battalion.

However, corresponding to the combat effectiveness, the mercenary battalion is extremely difficult to manage discipline, putting interests first, and so on, but this is also the normalization of the Bogdanor continent, Duke Duck and August have no intention of changing the rules of the mercenaries, as long as the mercenaries can do what they ask, then there is no problem.

But what August didn't expect was how attractive an undefended Golden Lion City was to mercenaries, you must know that although the Golden Lion City is not as large as the Ending City, it is also a medium-sized city with a population of 20,000

How much wealth is in such a medium-sized city? It's impossible to estimate!

What's more, such a medium-sized city is also different from other noble territories, as the territory of Count Harold, the Golden Lion City has a unique geographical location, and the caravans that go to the Ending City through the Golden Lion City every year are more than ten times or even dozens of times that of Yezi Town, so there is a large amount of wealth in the Golden Lion City.

Originally, such urban mercenaries had no chance to get involved at all, at most they just drank a little soup and water, but today there was a big opportunity in front of them.

A mountain of gold without any defense is in front of you, and as a mercenary who puts profit first, this is simply a fatal temptation.
