Chapter 43: The Siege
"After all, it's just a coward, wait until your Frisian cavalry doesn't have to participate in the battle, just hide in the corner and watch us play. Sham sarcastically mocked Ashaya.
"Sham, what qualifications do you mercenaries who only want money say that I am not lacking in courage in our Frisian cavalry, I just don't want to have unnecessary sacrifices. Ashaya said angrily.
"Who knows?" Sham apparently didn't think so.
"Alright, you all shut up, aren't you ashamed? Since Arcadia has already commanded, we can just do it. A rough voice stopped Ashaya and Sham from arguing.
I saw that this last person was 7 feet tall and burly, and even the mount under his seat was obviously a whole circle larger than the others.
"Lorente, don't be nosy! "Apparently Ashaya doesn't buy Lorente's account.
"What?Asaya?do you want to practice with me?, or do you think you're already my opponent?" said Lorente as he picked up a giant battle axe from his large mount.
"Hmph, I don't talk to a barbarian like you, but I still have that opinion, the cavalry is attacking the city, and there are no siege engines, it's really funny. Ashaya said after a few flickering glances.
"Smack, smack, smack. A burst of applause came from Arcadia's hands.
"It's wonderful, it's really sad, it's just a small encirclement, the opponent is just a small chamber of commerce, and your lord sent a whole 5 cavalry squadrons, but now?"
"First of all, because of Andrea's stupidity, the second cavalry squadron of the Golden Lion Battalion suffered more than 60% of the casualties, plus the scattered and fleeing personnel, almost all the troops were wiped out. ”
"After that, there was Sham, the same stupidity, if it weren't for the fact that there were only two opponents, it is estimated that his fate would not be much different from Andrea, but even so he was still restrained by only two people, and he couldn't even do a good job of chasing and killing behind, so he still let the seriously injured man escape. ”
After hearing Arcadia's words, Sham's head lowered, although he was facing two experienced and strong junior knights, but for a cavalry squadron with a full 100 people, it was impossible to be easily restrained by the other two.
"And then there's you, even more stupid Asaya! How dare you question my decision?!"
"Do you want to die?"
Arcadia's words were like the cold wind howling in the Icewind Kingdom, and Ashaya's whole body was about to freeze.
"I ......" Ashaya was just about to explain, when he was suddenly hit in the chest by a huge force, and instantly rolled off his warhorse.
"It's just a small punishment, if you have any doubts next time, I'll let you go and Andrea's company!" Arcadia turned his horse's head and walked back.
"By the way, I'll let Asaya and your cavalry squadron take the lead, do you have any objections?" Arcadia, who was halfway through, suddenly stopped and asked without looking back.
Ashaya, who had just stood up with his chest covered, didn't know what had just happened, but it must have something to do with Arcadia, and when he heard Arcadia's order, how dare he disobey?
"Yes, Lord Arcadia, Ashaya will obey your orders. Ashaya endured the pain and bent down in greetings.
Arcadia didn't speak, but returned directly to the rear of the cavalry formation, and after getting off the horse, he directly found an open space to do it and closed his eyes to rest.
"Hehe, you really deserve it!" Sham already knew how powerful the adult in front of him was, and he was happy to see Ashaya's turtle eating.
As for Ferret and Lorente, although they did not show it on their faces, their hearts were full of surprise. The two of them were watching from the sidelines just now, and they knew better than Ashaya what was happening, without any warning, without any movement, and Ashaya was suddenly shot down from his horse.
It was the first time for the two of them to see Arcadia's move, and they didn't expect that Asaya, who was about the same strength as them, a junior knight and nicknamed [Double Blade], would actually have no power to fight back in front of Arcadia.
"Although I heard that Lord Harold arranged for a strong man to come over, I didn't expect that he would be so strong that he could solve Ashaya in an almost instant way. Ferret said in disbelief.
"This kind of strength is not inferior to Totini and Modern. No, maybe stronger. Lorente also said incredulously.
Only Sham smiled and didn't speak, he was the one who really knew Arcadia's strength, but he didn't remind the other people, in order to see the jokes of the other people, he thought there was no chance, but he didn't expect that Asaya was a fool who jumped out by himself, he just pushed it.
"Alright, don't think about it, let's do as Lord Arcadia tells us. Without further ado, Ferret turned his horse's head and walked back, glancing deeply at Sham before leaving.
Sham just shrugged his shoulders and said he was innocent. Then he walked back to his cavalry squadron with Lorente.
Asaya was the only one with a black face, and he returned to his squadron after remounting alone.

When Baron, Pande, and Radi came to the city wall, they saw hundreds of cavalry scattered outside the city, scattered outside the town of Yez, either sitting on the ground to rest, or feeding the horses, without the slightest sense of tension about the impending battle.
It wasn't long before Heather, Mrs. Cherry, Drakov and others arrived on the city walls.
"What are they doing? Without any siege weapons, not even the most basic siege ladders, do they think they can storm Yez with a cavalry charge alone?" asked Drakov curiously.
But no one could answer him, because no one else knew how the cavalry under the city could storm the city without siege equipment.
Although the walls of Yezi Town are no more than 10 feet high, far less than the walls of Ending City and Silver Snow Castle, which are more than 30 feet high, they are not easy to capture by cavalry charges alone.
"Whatever they do, we'll just do our part, and if they really think Yez is really that easy to take, then let them try!" Pande concluded.
In the following hour, a steady stream of people were arranged on the city walls, whether mercenaries, noble guards, or ordinary caravan guys, all nervously waiting for the imminent outbreak of war.
