"But they have ten times the strength of Lotta, why do they use these means, if the other side attacks, IMHO, Lotta City will not last more than two days before it will be captured. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The Prut City Lord glanced at Mien and said with a wry smile, " Yang, you are still too young, even if they have ten times our strength, but the siege battle will not be as simple as you think, besides, the Six Cities Alliance is not monolithic, the army of 30,000 people except for more than 2,000 people in Black Rock City, the rest are the armies of other alliance members, even if they break through Lotta, in the face of chaotic street fighting, the family with big losses will definitely suffer, they will naturally think about preserving their strength, and when they enter the city, they are burning and looting, this is all oil and water, who will risk losing most of their subordinates to break the gates of Lotta for others。 ”

Only then did Mien understand why the Six Cities Alliance and Black Rock City were stationed outside the city, but there were only some small actions and they did not forcibly attack the city.

But if it goes on like this, Lotta City will sooner or later break itself, and now, Lota can only hold on to the city.

Mien can only put his hope on the task reward, but Mien thinks about it carefully, if Lotta is really captured, without systematic punishment, he will have to return to the pre-liberation period one day, so this Saint Youlota Cheng will definitely not be as cheating as described.

"So how long can we last with our current food?"

"Half a month. ”

"So little?"

Prut shook his head, "It can only be said that these people have sinister intentions, and after a while, it will be the autumn harvest, and to start a war at this green and yellow time, they are showing that they want to consume us." ”

He has never fought a war, and he can't even ride a horse, so Mien can only be silent at this time, what does he rely on to fight? There is no one and no food, and this battle is really unfought.

And because of the geographical location and history, Lotta's diplomacy has been at most with the barbarians in Black Rock City and the northeast, and as for the allies, there is really no one.

Leaving Medester Castle, Mien sat in the carriage, frowning, the system has given itself a problem, guarding for ten days? If people are unhappy one day and call in directly, then what are you playing?

And along the way, Mien couldn't see the crisis of Lotta at all, and the atmosphere of life and death with Lotta appeared on the residents, and they were more numb and frightened.

Mien sighed, the longer he came, the deeper Mien understood the world, once a son of heaven and a courtier, the people here have long been accustomed to seeing dead people in war, and it is not uncommon for the city lord to change people twice in three days.

Even the Medest family, a few decades ago, Samier's grandfather didn't know where to learn a martial art that could inspire fighting spirit, and in order to resist the **** of Lotta City at that time, he led the troops to revolt and capture Lota before becoming the city lord.

And this martial art has always been a secret of the Maidste family, Prut is an official knight, and so is Samier, and it is the strong force and peaceful means of rule that allow the Maidste family to gain a foothold in Lotta.

Back at the Cathedral of Santa Lotta, he happened to meet Frankie, who had just returned, and Mien could tell that Frankie looked tired.

"Mistress Mean. ”

Frankie was still in shape with the parchment book in his arms, and his small head made Meen feel like a paladin in the game, just a cross away.

"How are the believers in the city?"

Being helped out of the carriage by Frankie, the faith value was only reduced by a small amount, indicating that Frankie was still very conscientious in his absence.

"Most of the believers are panicking about the attack on Black Rock City, and I have prayed to the Light for them during the assembly yesterday, so there is no big problem for the time being. ”

"You're doing a good job, Walker of the Holy Law. ”

"The Light is with me. ”

Well, Meen thinks that since he made Frankie a Saint Law Walker, this former frizzy young man wants to be a god stick more than he looks, but the children can be taught, the children can be taught!

Minn was pleased with Frankie's performance.

...

Time flies, five days have passed since Minn returned to Lotta City, and the completion of the legendary mission has reached 7/10, although I don't know what those people are up to, in five days, there has not been a decent attack, a few small-scale temptations, and they have all retreated in a hurry after dropping dozens of corpses.

Could it be that the infighting among those people is really as strong as the Prut City Lord said?

Inside an enemy camp three miles from Lotta.

"Hell, those Bolan pigs, who are disgusted by people, do you want the two thousand cavalry under Lao Tzu to ride their horses and crash into the city wall?"

"If you want me to see, it's clear that this Lota is poor and white, and those Bolan people are reluctant to let their precious hoplites die in this place and then can't get any oil and water. ”

"What's that called... It's the lord of Black Rock, tied to the Berans, the Berans don't move, they don't move, what is that Catherine really so beautiful? ”

"Hehe, don't you know, it is said that after marrying Catherine, old Charles didn't leave the castle for several days. ”

"Hmph, it's been seven days since I arrived, and if it drags on like this, the big guys in the alliance won't be able to wait, so it's better to pull Lota in. ”

The other person smiled, "Those bigwigs don't want to see one more distributor of iron ore, and a distributor sitting on the head of iron ore." But at the same time, a wonderful attention appeared in his mind.

Mien and Samiyah followed the city lord of Prut on the southern wall, looking at the military tents in the distance, Samiyah, who had recovered from illness but was still a little weak, was wearing a black coat, but in autumn, the weather here in Lotta had begun to become a little cold.

"Father, it's been seven days, is it going to be consumed with them like this?"

"Do you think you will have a chance of winning a battle on the plains with an opponent with more than five thousand cavalry going out of the city?"

"But we don't have much to do with food. ”

Prut suddenly stopped, was silent for a while, and said, "Little Sammy, if Lotta is captured, you and Yang can flee for your life and flee to the northeast, at least in the territory of those barbarians, they don't dare to send troops in." ”

Pruitt's tone was full of helplessness and sadness, is the dignified Maidster family going to be destroyed in his hands like this?

Abandon the city and flee? Prut never thought that the glory of Medeste would not allow him to do so! and he did not want Samier to bear the infamy of his father as a cowardly coward.

Seven days! Watching the opponent's troops advance a little bit every day, the invisible pressure was not only on him, but also on many soldiers in the city.

Although Prut didn't understand the reason for the failure of the soldiers, he knew very well the state of the soldiers in Lotta.

Is there no turning point for the better?

Meen looked at the Prut City Lord, then at Samier, and then at the blackened military tent outside the city.

Without a sense of powerlessness, that is self-deception, even if Mien can fight ten or twenty, it will not change the situation of the battle.

And at the same time, Meen finally understood a truth, as a great man said, power comes from under the barrel of a gun.

No matter how clever you are, it can only be achieved in a reciprocal position.

Mien can only hope that the system will not trap him, since he can drag on for ten days, there is no need for the system to let Lotta City fall, otherwise this task is meaningless.

Suddenly, the three of them found that several people had stepped out of the military tent over there, riding straight towards Lotta City, and holding the flag of the Six Cities Alliance in their hands.

Pruitt frowned slightly, at this time sent an envoy to negotiate? It is not that he did not send envoys to sue for peace, but all of them did not come back without exception.

"Let's go, let's see what new tricks these crumbs want to play. ”

The envoy from the Alliance of the Six Cities placed a letter at the gate of the city and rode away, instructing the guards to bring it in.

Inside the Council Chamber.

The lord of Prut opened the envelope and it was an invitation inviting Prut to negotiate a peaceful settlement of the iron ore outside the city at noon tomorrow, and if Lotta agreed to join the Six Cities Alliance and become a dependent city, they would agree to withdraw their troops.

Prutt finished the letter and threw it on the table, "You all have a look." ”

Several ministers... By the way, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Falio, has sneaked away when he sees that the situation is not right.

"Master Medestre, I think this is a trap, we didn't send envoys before, but we were all killed by those people, I think it's clearly a trap!"

The person who spoke was General Kerry, the Fa Xiao and old subordinate of the Lord of Prut.

"Although it is very likely to be a trap, it is written that only two people are allowed to be sent on both sides, and weapons and horses are not allowed, and with the strength of the official knights of the castle lord, it is difficult for them to keep the castle lord. ”

Mien took the invitation from Samier, and although the terms were clear, it was clearly a trap, and a trap that you had to jump into.

"What do you think, Samier?"

Sameer looked anxious, and she didn't look at all like the heroic female knight she had been before, having not fully recovered.

"Father, you can't go! These wolf-ambitious guys are clearly targeting you!"

Lord Prut sighed, "Samiyah, it's up to you in Lotta City from now on. ”

"Father!"

"Prut, you can't go!"

"Your Excellency!"

Mien was silent, even if it was a trap, but Pruitt, who had no chance of winning, decided to give it a try, for the sake of little Sammy and for the sake of the civilians and innocent soldiers in the city, Pruitt did not see this great city that had not experienced blood and fire for decades facing annihilation.

Once the city is breached, the city of Lotta will inevitably fall into the abyss of death and bloody carnival!

And in Minn's opinion, to be able to make such a decision, Prut Medester is a great word!

But the Prut city lord's obstinate behavior was unstoppable.

Stopping Samier, who was going with him, the Prut lord decided to take only one person with him, insisting on going with his old friend, Kerry.

In the morning, news of the peace between the two sides spread throughout the city of Lotta, and residents went out to celebrate the great news of the day.

In troubled times, only peace is the most precious.

"Hey, did you hear that, Black Rock City and Lota have made peace!"

"Jamie boy, that's where you heard that. ”

"Now there is talk on the streets, and as soon as the news of peace is released, the people of the whole Lotta City are overjoyed! And the old miser at the Redbeard Tavern has announced that all the drinks are free today!"

"Really? God, it's great not to fight! I've got to go have a drink or two to celebrate. ”

Compared to the cheerful inhabitants of Lotta, liberated from the shadow of war, inside the castle of Medester.

Although she respects her father's choice, Samier, who has already obtained some of the rights of the city lord, can clearly see that her father is arranging the aftermath.

Mien wanted to comfort Samiyah, but he was also closed.

Everything can only wait for tomorrow...

...

At noon the next day, countless residents went out to bid farewell to the lord of Prut, and the high and cheerful atmosphere made Lotta City feel like a festival at this time.

The city lord of Prut, who was sitting on a war horse, smiled and waved to the residents one by one, and the city lord in gorgeous leather armor looked like a triumphant general at this time, full of spirit!

Behind him was a group of heavily armed cavalrymen, metallic iron armor shining in the sunlight and spears with the banner of Maidste, the symbol of Lotta's prowess.

"Haha, I bet that if I knew that I wouldn't fight, Glenn would have repented of his intestines when he had run away. ”

"Those cowardly cowards! they won't be welcomed even when they come back to Lotta!"

And Mien stayed at the door of Samier's room at this time, and the female knight locked herself in it for a day and a night, in the end, even if Samiyah was already a heroic female knight who could lead troops to fight, but in the face of the possibility of losing his last relatives today, Samiyah was afraid.

The usually calm and confident female knight flinched at this time, and even when he jumped off the cliff, Samiyah had never been so desperate.

"Samiyah, may I come in?"

No one in the room replied, and after hearing about this, the little snake that followed Mien climbed on Mien's head, "Poor human, in my impression you are always killing each other, Mine, don't you go in and comfort the poor little girl inside?"

"War is the driving force of human progress, little snake, and it's not that I don't want to go in, but I can't get in with the door locked!"

"It's just a wooden door, and it's not easy to break it open with your magic. ”

"So, you don't understand human beings all the time staying underground and drinking wind and eating dirt. ”

"You're eating dirt! Your whole family eats dirt! Hell, how many times have I said that! I don't need to eat! And I know you humans very well! A bunch of cunning, contradictory wretched creatures!"

"I wonder why the Prophet chose a fool like you to be the Guardian. ”

"Hmph, this snake will not deal with a mere human, the wisdom of the snake is beyond your imagination, don't think that I will fall into your language trap!"

Just as Mine and Little Snake were putting on a daily routine, Samier opened the door.

The little snake was so frightened that he quickly hid in Meen's hair and did not appear again, in other words, its existence was a very secret thing, and no one else knew about its existence.

"Mine, what are you talking about outside the door alone?"

"It's nothing, just talking to myself. ”

"Come in. ”

Samiyah was dressed in a white pajama and looked haggard.

"The city lord has already set off, aren't you going to take a look?"

Samiyah didn't speak, and was silent for a long time before Samiyah slowly spoke, "I'm scared, Mine, if something really happens to my father... What should I do?"

The two of them have been through so much since Samiyah woke up, and Samiyah is no longer as wary of Mien as before.

The female knight's sudden soft side made Mien not know what to say for a while.

Tears slowly fell from Samiyah's eyes, "After my mother died, it was my father who raised me for so many years, and for me, and for my mother, he never married any woman again, but now..."

It was only now that Mien suddenly realized that even if the female knight could jump off a cliff dozens of meters high without changing her face, she was still a girl, a girl with a fragile heart.

Mien didn't know what he was supposed to say now, and he knew he couldn't say anything now, but at least he could sit on the edge of Samier's bed and listen quietly.

"My father told me since I was a child that the weak have no right to speak, and that is clearly a trap... But my father doesn't want to give up Lotta, and I'd rather take my place if I could..."

"Mean, you're my best friend, what the hell do you think I'm going to do..."

Meen sighed, those pale, high-sounding comforting words were like a blank sheet of paper at this time, and not knowing how to comfort Samier, Mien decided to make up a white lie.

Slowly activating the Holy Power, Mien said in a soft voice, "Samiyah, remember what I said to you?Everyone is under the gaze of the Holy Light, no one can escape what is about to happen, and the gears of fate never stop turning. ”
