Chapter 281: Suspicious Deception

"Lord Gauss, is this where we are going?" asked a man in a light brown priestly garb whispered in the ear of another man in a dark brown priestly robe, and behind him there were hundreds of "soldiers" standing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe soldiers were dressed in extremely heavy armor and held long, sharp steel knives in their hands, and they didn't seem to feel the weight, their eyes closed and they didn't move.

The priest known as "Gauss" was the priest of the Holy Spirit Mercenary Regiment who had appeared outside Douro Town to assist Baron Burns in his attack on Douro Town.

Gauss, whose face was covered by his hat, let out a slight "chirp, chirp" from his teeth, and he was standing on the land on the border between the Western Agouna Empire and the Kingdom of Sarins. There were neither the armies of the Theoguna Empire nor the Sallins Kingdom in this wasteland, only a few priests of the Holy Spirit Mercenary Regiment and hundreds of living corpse soldiers.

"It's time to send the letter from the Guild President, and send the news of our arrival in the territory of the Kingdom of Salins back to the High Priest, so that we can complete this mission. ā€

"Lord Gauss, even if we don't set foot on this land ourselves, we probably won't..."

"This is the order of the High Priest and the President of the Guild," Gauss recalled the trouble he had encountered the last time he personally visited the town of Douro in the Kingdom of Salins, "No one wants to set foot in this land again, this is the territory of the funeral mercenary group, the mercenary guild has long been asking about the Kingdom of Salins, but the prince named Amsoil has given a good enough reward, we must do all the superficial work." Gauss once again recalled the funeral mercenary group he encountered that day after avoiding the "cat's eye". The "mercenaries" of that mercenary group are much more powerful than the living corpse soldiers they summoned, not to mention those inferior corpse soldiers.

"The so-called struggle for the throne is probably just a game in the eyes of that man..."Gauss rarely spoke in such a tone of awe, and he was arrogant and proud, and he had seen terrible power.

In Amme's barracks, the four generals were waiting for Prince Amsol's orders. Athony wrote a letter himself, a letter about persuading Bradley to surrender. The letter promised that when Ansol ascended to the throne of the Kingdom of Salins, Bradley would be given the appropriate fief to ensure the safety of Bradley and Winlith. Ansoil knew that Bradley would be difficult to convince, but now that Ansol was the commander-in-chief of an army of 150,000, Bradley should act sensibly in the face of such a large force.

Bradley was really unprepared, he would never have imagined that the entire northern part of the kingdom was on the side of His Highness Amsul. "Viscount Polly took a reinforcement report, and nearly tens of thousands of troops from the north of the Kingdom of Salins were gathering in Mallot, and even the noble lords of the border guards had secretly expressed their support to Amsoil to put down the chaos in Mallot, and arrested Queen Rosemande, who controlled King Byron.

Amsoil placed the letter in the envelope, and he walked over to the sand table of the Mallote map, which was simulated in sand, "Are you sure there aren't any enemy reinforcements?"

"Confirmed, we've only been camping for a day, and we've choked the line around Bradley's barracks, and there's no indication that Bradley has any other forces. Even if they have reinforcements to come to their rescue, it's too late, and now is the perfect time for us to attack those three barracks head-on!" Decion picked up the marker representing Amsoil's camp and slammed it next to the marker representing Bradley's barracks on the sand table.

Amsoil nodded, and he ordered the letter to be delivered to Bradley's barracks. Amsoil walked out of the barracks and looked at the city of Mallot, east of the barracks. The city of the city's towering walls was quiet, and if he was lucky, Ansoil could submit Bradley tonight, and then let Rosemund's open gates and take over Mallot.

The moon was high and cloudless, and there was a pounding sound in Amsol's tent.

"Damn! dare to humiliate me!!" Ammeh's fist turned red from the hard hammering of the table, and the other generals in the camp could see the result in Ammeh's face - Bradley did not choose to surrender, but it should be expected.

Amsoil looked at his own handwritten letter, and Bradley just asked him to change the word "Bradley" in the letter to "Amsol", as if he didn't want to waste pen and ink and write a new letter of persuasion back to Amsoul. Such a move completely infuriated Amsol, and Amsoil could no longer find any reason to spare his half-brother.

With his hands crossed in front of his chest, he snorted coldly and said, "Bradley didn't get much response in the previous national call, and the nobles in other places are all standing still and waiting for changes, and now only our army has reached Mallot, why is he still so arrogant? Does he really think that the 10,000 mercenaries and 10,000 Duchy soldiers can be his talisman? Or is he confident in himself and Princess Winlith's martial arts?"

"I've long wanted to fight the giant princess to see if this giant princess really inherits the innate divine power of the 'Thunderbolt King'!" Polly echoed in.

Ansol set his eyes on the white-haired General Guillermo, "General Guillermo, you go down and prepare, contact Neiying in Bradley's barracks, and when you successfully infiltrate, we will join you inside and outside." ā€

Guillermo knelt on one knee, he lowered his head and said, "Your Highness Amso, your trust in Lao Chen is enough for Lao Chen to sacrifice everything, this plan will definitely succeed!"

After Guillermo left the camp, the other three generals all asked the same question - since Bradley did not have any reinforcements, and there was a big gap between the strength of Bradley and the strength of Amsol, why did His Highness Amsoil carry out the "deception plan" that was originally planned?

Amsoil pondered for a while and then said: "Actually, I didn't trust him for a long time, so I transferred him away, and I still carried out the plan of deception with the advantage of troops, just to prevent Guillermo from messing with us in the rear. ā€

Amme's words were cold, and De Theon, Poli, and Taifu didn't expect Amsoil to have this idea. The white-haired veteran general Guillermo, as one of Amme's four generals, has always been loyal to Amsul. Guillermo, who was once a general under the "Thunderbolt King", was frustrated and exiled to the north of the kingdom to guard the border because he was not reused after King Byron succeeded to the throne. Anmeol's emphasis on veterans allowed Guillermo to find someone worthy of allegiance again, and Guillermo also took the initiative to propose the surrender plan, but he didn't expect Ansoil to keep a hand. Polly and the others are all related to each other, and Guillermo, who is the most loyal, is all calculated by Amsol, let alone their more junior subordinates?

De Theon hesitated for a long time before saying, "If General Guillermo is really... I'm talking about how we treat him and the soldiers he took with him if we are really loyal to His Highness?"

"It's hard to tell if there's an enemy on the battlefield or if there's an ally in the enemy, so take Bradley and Winlith as the first goal, and leave the rest to the soldiers' knives, and they'll naturally make a choice. Of course, if Guillermo really did a great job and captured Bradley and the others immediately after the surrender, then I would also admit my mistake and treat Guillermo well. ā€

Amme's words once again made the three generals feel cold, Guillermo, who was suspected by Amme, had been pushed into the opponent's military camp at the most critical moment, if Guillermo did not launch a surprise attack after successfully surrendering, then those soldiers who surrendered could become enemies on the frontal battlefield.

The overwhelming superiority of the 150,000 army over the more than 40,000 mixed army is irreversible, and the white-haired old general will only lead 2,000 people to surrender by fraud, and sure enough, whether Guillermo is loyal or not, whether he succeeds in surrendering has no big impact on the overall situation, but only allows Amsoil to dispel some of his doubts.

"It's a big deal, it's not informal!" Taifu's voice trembled slightly, "Since His Highness Amsoil is already suspicious of Guillermo, then Guillermo must have his own problems!I absolutely trust His Highness Amme!" The other two generals also showed their loyalty, and Amsoil smiled and nodded before assigning the command of the soldiers of each battalion to them, and then they were subdivided into the hands of the rest of the generals.

The second prince Ansol heeded Prince Bradley's "call" and personally led a large army from Bone Ruins City to protect Mallot, and the news spread in Mallot. The vast majority of the population believed that Amsol would join Bradley in attacking Mallot, after waiting for Walter, the third prince of King Byron's favorite. After all, the three princes are the heirs of the Kingdom of Salins, and they are only temporarily turned away from the "door".

Felisty picked up Avila, and she was following Jacoco and them outside the Kestrel Academy, "The Overseer of the Capital has explained to the people of Mallott that Queen Rosemund's child is pregnant with King Byron, and they have also expressed to the people the hope of the king and queen that everyone will work together to protect Mallot, whether it is the prince or some other person who is plotting rebellion. ā€

Avi also learned that Amsoil's army had set up camp outside the city, "So where are we going now?"

"Go to the walls, for I have asked from the mouth of the 'Sunflower' that the target of Amsoil's army is not Mallot, but Prince Bradley. Felisti whispered, and Avi's hidden fears became a reality.

Felistie and Avi walked behind the other four representatives, and Jaco and "Sunflower" did not object to Felistila coming to "Outsider" Avi. In the name of the "Capital Overseer", they were granted the right to climb the walls to see what was going on outside, and they knew that Bradley and Amsoil would have a fight.

"This is the location with the best view. Jacoo stood at the battlements next to one of the towers, and the moonlight in the sky illuminated half of the Black and White River to the west of Mallot, and in the distance of the Black and White River was Bradley's barracks, and Amsul's barracks was to the north.

"I don't know who spread the rumors that Amsoil is planning to attack the city with Bradley, and we are going to be the ones to refute the rumors. An oversight delegate complained.

Jaco shook his head, "It's better that way, or the people will rush to the walls to see the two great princes battle each other." ā€
