Chapter Eighty-Seven: Lifting the Siege

"Hey, Captain Fidd!" Noor sat in the hall of the lord, he had nowhere to go now.

Fed and Eddie walked into the hall together, and Eddie immediately pulled out the long scimitar at his waist, pointed at Noor, and shouted, "You robber, when did you escape from prison!"

Noor immediately picked up a short ottoman at the table and lifted it.

"Put down the knife first and listen to me. Fidel blocked Eddie with his body, lest he slash straight at Noor.

"What is there to say!?"

"This person is not the murderer of our mercenary, he caught the wrong person," Fide turned his face to Noor, and motioned with his eyes to put down the stool in his hand as well, not to act rashly, "I have already interrogated him, he is just an ordinary thief. ”

Eddie heard this, and slowly retracted the scimitar into its scabbard. He walked over to the side and said, "I still have to ask Xue Rui about this matter first, and you asked him not to go away here." The captain of the cavalry squadron walked out of the lord's hall.

The thief Nur threw aside the stool and said loudly, "I can't go anywhere now, and so are you!" Although he is not a member of this mercenary group, if he escapes like this, his life will definitely not be saved.

Fid didn't stop Eddie either, he poured a glass of wine and handed it to Noor and said, "You're such a hard-tempered person, and it won't do anyone any good to fight with Eddie." ”

"Lao Tzu doesn't care! If anyone forces Lao Tzu to do something he doesn't want to do, Lao Tzu will definitely be the first to jump up and turn against him," Nur drank all the wheat wine in the wine glass, then picked up the whole pot of wine and poured several sips, "Lao Tzu didn't look at it for your sake, and he would have cut down these people who arrested me indiscriminately." ”

Fidel remembered Noor's impulsive performance in front of André when he was captured, and he was sure that the thief would do what he said.

"Now that we're really surrounded, you can stay here for a while. ”

As soon as Fed finished speaking, Eddie walked in with Cherry.

"Did this man kill our cavalry?" Eddie asked, looking at Cherry, pointing at Noor.

"I think he's suspicious, and he's in the village where we lost our partner, so I'll get him back first. Xue Rui crossed her fingers on the back of her head, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she rolled her eyes, looking like she didn't care.

When Eddie heard this, he had no choice but to let Cherry out, as it seemed that he already knew that the thief might not be the murderer of his own men.

"Even though Xue Rui said so, you are still suspicious. ”

If you don't believe me, I can take you to the Rock Thieves, I didn't kill your people anyway. ”

Eddie immediately asked, "Why do you want to attack our mercenaries by the thieves you call you?"

"God knows, you should have caught one of their people yourself and interrogated them. Noor put his legs on the table and kicked over some copper plates.

"That's what I'm wondering about," Fei De had already learned from the people who had encountered the attack before, those robbers only took the lives of the mounted mercenaries, and did not take anything else, and it didn't seem that they were doing it for money or supplies, "Why did they kill our people, do they have a grudge against the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment?"

Eddie was also suspicious, he touched his chin and said, "Anyway, our first task now is to merge with Andre. He had already spoken to Fidel about this in the tower, and Eddie decided to lead his mounted mercenaries to the Pool Castle to support André as soon as the siege was lifted.

Fei De nodded: "If it is really as Andre said in the letter, the iron cavalry outside will disperse soon, then it is indeed possible to support him, and the matter of the attack can also be put aside first." "He kept thinking in his heart, what was the reason why Andre was far away, but he could judge that these besieging guys would retreat?"

With this in mind, he tried to write a letter for the crow to send to the east, hoping that André would receive it and reply quickly.

In the evening, Fed asked the guards to keep an eye on the movements of the heavy cavalry. And that Noor also promised to take Fide to the place of the Rock Thieves when the siege was lifted, and find their men to ask the reason for the sneak attack.

But the next day, before dawn, Fidel was woken up.

"The besieging forces outside have withdrawn, and Master Julian has just returned to Disha Castle!" a mercenary reported loudly to Fidd, who had just gotten out of bed, his words full of uncontrollable excitement.

Feder immediately put on the "black flash" and hurried to the lord's hall of Desha Castle, where Julian, the leader of the spear squadron, was leisurely eating breakfast, while Eddie, who was beside him, kept asking him questions.

"How's it going?!Have you already taken two castles?"

"The castle of Oga was taken in less than two hours, and the people inside opened the gates for us. Julian grabbed the white bread in one hand and the salted pork in the other.

"What about Pool Castle? Captain, he's not hurt, is he?"

Julian glanced at Eddie and said slowly, "It doesn't seem to be hurt, our regimental commander asked you to rush over with the cavalry squadron and the two-handed sword squadron to support," he put down the white bread and took out a letter from his trouser pocket, "Here, this is the letter he wrote to you." I'll bring some of my exhausted troops back to rest first, and I'll leave the rest to you. ”

Eddie immediately opened the letter Julian had taken out and looked at its contents carefully.

"Andre told us to bring troops to support them, and the letter said that Disha Castle would be left to Julian and the wounded to garrison, and that the hundreds of archers would remain here," Eddie read the letter several times, "but it doesn't seem to be the commander's"

"Oh, his hand seems to be injured, this is written by someone else on his behalf, anyway, it is the meaning of the regimental commander. Julian said nonchalantly.

However, Feide, who was standing on the side, had already heard the inconsistencies in the other party's words, but he did not debunk them in person.

At this moment the Marcus brothers also entered, and after they had read the captain's letter in turn, they all agreed to leave at once—especially Eddie, who was eager to rush to Andre's side to support him at once.

"By the way, I'd like to ask you a question, Squadron Leader. Fylde looked at Julian, but Julian didn't look at him.

"Just ask. ”

"Why did the regimental commander expect the cavalry outside Disha Castle to retreat?"

Julian let out a long breath as if he had put down the weight in his hand, "That's the question, it's actually like this."

After the spear squadron leader captured the Oga Castle, he immediately set out to attack the Pool Castle.

It turned out that the Moon Shield mercenary group had arrived at the Oga Castle on the night of departure, and under the fierce attack of the catapults, the soldiers of the Kosai Kingdom in the Oga Castle did not take long to open the city and surrender, and the baron lord was immediately captured by his own people and thrown on the ground outside the city.

In the face of such a smooth result, Andrei was not satisfied. He left Bizluvis' 1,000 sword and shield mercenaries at Oga Castle to garrison, and also made Greif, who had been hit by a stray arrow, serve as the temporary lord of Oga Castle to guard Öga Castle. At the same moment, at the suggestion of Squadron Leader Alain, André sent a messenger to the City of Honor, saying that he had taken two castles and needed to send troops to support. After all, it was a bit dangerous to spread the forces of a mercenary group in several places, so Bisluvis agreed to this suggestion.

Then, before dawn, André led the squadron of Bisluvis, Julian, and Alain to the Pool Castle, hoping to take it quickly. At that time, the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment still had more than 1,500 sword and shield mercenaries, more than 800 archers, and more than 1,400 spearmen. A total of nearly 4,000 troops attacked the castle of the pool without stopping.

Unexpectedly, the pool castle was heavily defended, and the small lake outside the city made it difficult for the Moon Shield mercenary group, which was not good at water, to take it for a while. However, during the siege, a scout was captured.

The scout had been sent from the Rhino Fortress further east. The scout originally wanted to report to Baron Godan in the pool castle, but he didn't expect that the pool castle had been surrounded by the Moon Shield mercenary group, and the information he was carrying also fell into Andre's hands.

It turned out that the Rhino Fortress received an order from the capital: "Send troops to Viscount Monta of Disha Castle." "It's just that they didn't draw their own troops, but let the Oga Castle and the Shuichi Castle, which are closest to Disha Castle, send troops. However, the forces of these two castles were so weak that even the siege of Disha Castle in Monta was very difficult. So Andrei and several squadron leaders judged two things from this.

The first thing is that the people of the Kosai Kingdom do not know that the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment sent by the Marvey Republic has triumphed all the way and has already captured Disha Castle;

Knowing these two points, André intensified his siege even more, as the Pool Castle was now isolated. The two closest castles are already in the bag, and the Rhino Fortress is also taking care of itself.

After listening to Julian's general description, Fed realized that the captain of the heavy cavalry did not believe his words - claiming that the Republic had taken possession of the castle of Desha. Otherwise, the ruler of the capital of the Kingdom of Kosai would not have reacted with just one force point in the Rhino Fortress, which would have been a lucky accident.

Julian was well fed, and he patted his stomach and said, "Go at once, I've brought back some of the wounded, and the troops of Bisluis have lost a bit of a bit, go and come to the rescue." ”

Eddie immediately grabbed Fidel's arm and said, "We'll take all the two-handed swordsmen to help immediately, the regimental commander needs us." ”

"yes, your head needs you, hehe. Julian sneered.
