Chapter 67: Under the Three Small Cities

In the time that followed, the Einsatzgruppen team led by Fede and Jennifer kept receiving messages from the front. The "Sharp Claws" had completely controlled the city of Lutu, and their subordinates basically did not lose much, and they took the small city without much effort. In the south, Hana City is still under siege, and the remaining mercenary group led by Knight Captain Kiro has gone around the back of Hana City, attacking this small city on both sides, and it is estimated that it will be taken soon.

One of the mercenaries who arrived later said that the lord caught by the "Sharp Claw" commander was completely unaware that it was the army of the Papal States, and that he had dinner with the merchants from the Papal States before going to sleep, but he was immediately caught by the mercenaries of the Holy Light City. When he first saw "Sharp Claw", he thought that the rebels of the Theoguna Empire had come around the edge of the Split Mountains and attacked them.

Jennifer immediately urged the thousands of people who followed behind to rush to the city of the road, and when they met, they could move to the city of Crafeld behind.

Half an hour later, the eight mercenary groups led by Feder and Jennifer successfully arrived in Lutu City, and the civilians of this small city were still in a state of panic. However, "Sharp Claw" had already taken most of the mercenaries out of the city, and only a small number of mercenaries were left in the city to manage law and order.

After seeing "Sharp Claw", the other party immediately said to Feld and Jennifer: "This city is not vulnerable at all, it is estimated that the guards are not even eight hundred." "His steel claws were stained with blood, but they weren't easy to spot in the dark.

"Then let's go straight to Crafeld City! If there are only eight hundred guards, I can take down a group of sheepdog mercenaries!" called Jennifer.

Fidel did not object, after all, the garrison of the small town was in front of him. With more than 30,000 mercenaries, they can easily take down more than a dozen small cities of this size and defensive strength, and if there is no other support, no matter how heavily guarded that city is, it will not help.

But at this moment, a knight who was originally beside Kiro galloped over and reported to Fidel: "Three commanders, Lord Kiro and Master Arturas have basically controlled the situation in Hana City, and Lord Arturas is heading towards Krefi City with the strength of five mercenary groups!"

Jennifer was immediately reluctant, the enemy in front of her was so vulnerable, and Arturas attacked the small city behind before he could completely dispose of Hana City, which was clearly to snatch the credit.

"No, I'm going too, if this guy takes Rivercastle in one night, how can I impress the archbishop?" Jennifer put away her whip and went to command her mercenary group to prepare to set off and continue eastward.

Sharpclaw was much calmer, he just asked his subordinates to bring out all the treasures of the lord of the town, counted the gold, silver and jewels while asking them to pour him a glass of wine, and then sat on a treasure chest and drank. All the lord's wealth is included in his torn mercenary group, and the other mercenary groups have no share, but due to the strength and prestige of "Sharp Claw" in the mercenary alliance, the other small leaders don't dare to say anything.

"I suggest that some of the mercenaries stay in this small city, and then assign two mercenary groups back to the buffer zone, ready to be on call. Fidel suggested to Sharp Claw.

"You're the chief regimental commander and the commander of the Einsatzgruppen regiment, you can do whatever you like, I don't care," Sharp Paw picked up a small green gem, threw it into the wine glass, and then drank it down to his stomach with a "grunt", "I'm more interested in the treasures of Hana City, maybe I'll go over and 'clean up' later." ”

"Commander Nasatnam's Siege Strategy"

"That Satnam guy isn't here now, there's no need to listen to him, you can go if you like!"

Seeing that the other party had no intention of leading the mercenaries forward, Fei De began to deploy the remaining mercenary groups. Those mercenaries didn't have a little spoil, and they were already reluctant to follow the Tear Mercenary Group to continue to advance, and when they heard that Fid wanted them to be stationed here and in the buffer zone, many mercenaries raised their hands in approval. And some mercenaries have long been sleepy, so they just find an open space and fall asleep.

Marcus and Cose walk up and discuss their plans with Fed.

"It's dark and cold outside, so it's better to stay in this small city," Kesi clasped her arms in her hands, and she looked at the group of church knights not far from her, all of whom had been sent by Kiro to spy on her, "The back town can be handed over to the leaders who are happy to take it." ”

"That's right, we are originally a special group, not the main force of the vanguard, just let that Arturas fight hard. Marcus chimed in.

Feder looked far to the east, and couldn't see anything but darkness, "We can stay here for the time being, but we must be on guard, and I will have some mercenary groups stationed outside the city." ”

The two of them were aware of Field's concerns, and they also thought that Field's caution was justified - that Crefield City must have been aware of the danger tonight, since it had been on guard in advance.

At this time, the lord of the city was also captured and taken down in front of Fidel.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me" The lord in front of him was still wearing pajamas that were not thick, and he was blown by the cold wind of the winter night, and he immediately shivered, and couldn't help but shrink into a ball.

Feder had him cloak and asked, "Do you know who we are?"

"Yes, yes, it's Lord of the Holy Light City!"

"You know we're going to attack you tonight?"

The lord of Lutu City glanced up at Fidel, then tightened his coat and said, "If the villain knew that the adults would come to our Lutu City tonight, he would definitely open the city gate early in the morning to greet you, and present this small city with both hands!"

Kesi and Marcus were very disdainful of this lord's greedy face for life and fear of death, this kind of person can be the lord of a city, no wonder "Sharp Claw" was able to search for so many gold and silver treasures just now.

"Didn't you feel anything unusual? like being told to be on guard or something. Marcus asked in place of Fed.

"If anything is unusual, it's that Viscount Hollis of Rivercastle has come to our little city today," the lord looked at Fidel with two big eyes, trying to recall his memory, "he spun around, checked the city defenses, and left, without saying a word. Normally, an adult as noble as him would not come here. ”

Having obtained this information, Fed continued to ask the lords of Lutu City about the distribution of forces in the Riverland. The lord did not dare to hide it in the slightest, and he pointed out that there were eight cavalry teams in this area, mainly on the other side of the river, in the small fortresses around the castle between the rivers. These cavalry were well-trained and very strong on the plains, so even with only 8,000 people, the security in the area was very good, and there were very few bandits or bandits.

This information is largely the same as the information previously learned during the military assignment, with the only difference being the description of the strength of these cavalry units. Although the lord of Lutu City tried to curry favor with Fid and let him go, he still looked proud when he mentioned the cavalry that roamed the Riverlands.

"They all had very long riding guns, and in the flat ground, they were simply invincible. Before, some of the rebels tried to flee from here to the west, but the 3,000 rebels encountered a patrolling cavalry team, and in less than half an hour, the cavalry team wiped out all of them, and not a single person was left alive!"

As he listened to the lord's words, Fidel thought about it and guessed how the Viscount Hollis would respond. What would this viscount do if he had really realized that the Church Alliance would attack three small cities today? In the face of several times his own strength, even a strong cavalry team would not be able to hold these cities at the same time, and if they were attacked head-on on the plains, they would also be defeated because of the difference in numbers, right? Fei De himself pondered in his heart, and the lord, although he was clothed, was still cold, and begged to be escorted down by the mercenaries and imprisoned in the prison of Lutu City.

"How about we're here tonight? There won't be any reinforcements from the enemy anyway, so let's rest early. Marcus said to Fiddle, who was still thinking.

"No! those cavalry are in this area right now!" Fidel called out suddenly.
