"In just three days...... This is the fourth city we've captured, right?"

In the evening, in the city of Kyle near the border of Carretus, the queen stood at the head of the city, suddenly turned around and asked a mage in robes behind her.

The mage seemed a little nervous when he heard the queen's question. But he still took a deep breath and nodded.

"Yes. ”

"The four cities, either after being surrounded for a while, the people in the city ran out and surrendered, or before we surrounded them, the defenders in the city had already withdrawn cleanly. At this, the queen suddenly let out a sneer and asked, "What does it seem to you that is going on?"

"This ...... Of course, our Ikor forces are strong, and the enemy is powerless to resist, so they can only be defeated. ”

The queen smiled and shook her head, suddenly approaching the mage, and whispered, "I don't ask you this question to hear some cliché greetings. ”

The mage hurriedly took a few steps back, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This ...... They didn't resist, maybe Carretus had another arrangement. ”

When the queen heard this, she turned back and looked again at the vast horizon beyond the city.

"That's what you think?" she said, with a hint of disappointment in her tone.

"No...... I, I think they're probably too busy with civil strife to deal with our attacks. The mage took a deep breath, his emotions seemed to have finally stabilized, and he said slowly, "There have been rumors among the people that the current king is fake, and the so-called real king seems to be recruiting troops everywhere to prepare to regain the throne. How can they possibly have the time to deal with us in this situation?"

"So, will they let us go on the attack?" asked the queen again, her cold voice indiscerning her anger.

"This ...... Perhaps. ”

"Forget it, I shouldn't have asked you in the first place. The queen shook her head, turned around and walked down the stairs at the head of the city, "Send the messenger out." The three-way melee is the most difficult situation to control, and if there are already three forces in the territory of Caritus, then it is bound to ...... There is one strand that must be eliminated first. ”

The mage was stunned.

He heard the meaning of the queen's words, and hurriedly asked very solemnly, "Where are we going to send the messenger?"

"Sent to Glori, of course. ”

The queen said as she left without looking back.

The mage also came to his senses, watched the queen leave, and then turned to the soldiers beside him, and said, "Quick, haven't you heard? Your Majesty has given the order to send messengers to the palace of Glori, and tell them that the queen of Ikor now has a deal to negotiate with them. ”

"Yes!"

The soldier nodded hurriedly and hurried away.

At sunset, the sky was dark, and the mage was the only one left in the city. He glanced at the town in the distance, shook his head to himself, and turned away from the city.

Meanwhile.

At the other end of Caritus, the general and the king had already picked the granary stronghold they were going to attack.

They didn't know what the queen had decided, but they knew what the next battle meant to them - it wasn't just about grabbing food and grass, it was about announcing to the whole world that the king of Carretus was back!

Therefore, they prepared very seriously.

"The granary north of Changhe Town has always been one of the big granaries in the east of Caritus. After the surrounding food is handed in, at least one-fifth will be stored in it for emergencies. If we can take it down, we don't have to worry about food and grass or anything. ”

In the tent, the general pointed to the huge map spread out on the table.

Hearing this, the king and Benjamin nodded together.

For the past few days, the king has been busy keeping this army in his hands, inspecting every barracks, greeting the soldiers, and eating with them...... After a series of popular actions, he also stood firm, confirming that this army could fight for him and would not throw themselves at the false king of Gloriy at a critical moment.

The capture of the granary was their first battle, and the king, as the spiritual leader of this "restored army", naturally would not miss it, and would set off with the army when the time came.

As for Benjamin...... Actually, he had something else to do. But this operation was very important, and the king wanted to borrow the power of magic, and after many requests, he had to nod his head and agree that he would go with them.

It was already evening, and the soldiers were ready. As soon as night falls, they will go into action.

It doesn't take too many people to occupy a granary. Therefore, they were only going to take two thousand men with them, and when they had occupied the granaries, they would move the large army over.

"No problem, right? Everything was confirmed, and we set off. ”

Half an hour later, the soldiers involved in the operation were already ready. The general looked at the sky and turned his head to remind.

"Hmm...... Let's go. When the king heard this, he took a deep breath and spoke slowly, his solemn voice never so low as it was now.

In the night, they left the camp with two thousand men.

The location of the granary is not far from the camp, and speaking of which, the relationship between the camp and them is usually good, and the food needs are also supplied from there. I don't know how the defenders on the other side of the granary will feel if they lead the team to fight now.

"Master Benjamin...... Is this your first time on the battlefield?" the king asked in a whisper, as he seemed a little nervous.

"Not really. Benjamin shook his head and said, "When I was in Freden, I once ambushed the Church with hundreds of mages, killed the Bishop, and wiped out the enemy's ranks. ”

“...... Terrible. ”

Benjamin smiled and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, what are you worried about? It's just occupying a granary, and it's not a war in the real sense." ”

"Of course. The king was suddenly a little unconvinced, "I finally drove a personal expedition, don't talk about this operation so casually, I will soon be a person who has been on the battlefield." ”

“...... Your Majesty is happy. ”

Most of the march was silent, that is, the king was nervous or a little too excited, so he could not help but say something to relieve some of the emotions in his chest.

In fact, the pace of the entire march was not slow. Thousands of people marched quickly for more than two hours in the dark, which was indeed a great burden on the king's physical strength. Benjamin also offered to take him on a ride with magic, but the king refused outright.

"These are my soldiers, and I want to walk with them. The king said as he shook the sweat from his face.

Benjamin nodded, and said no more.

Finally, after a two-hour march, they came to the vicinity of the granary.

"Your Majesty, please give the order. ”

The whole army was crawling in the dark forest, and the general turned his head and said respectfully to the king. At this moment, the eyes of all the soldiers were also focused on the king.

The king looked ahead.

The granary was not just a simple granary, not far from them was a camp that resembled a small military camp. The camp was home to a number of warehouse-like buildings, with uniformed men coming and going, and some soldiers patrolling the neighborhood with torches.

It's a heavily guarded place.

At the sight of this, fear was evident in the king's eyes.

That's when it happened.

"Your Majesty, it's time to take back the things that belong to you one by one. At some point, Benjamin suddenly came up behind the king and whispered.

The king came to his senses and took a deep breath.

It's like a half-life of silence.

"Rush, ——!"

The fists clenched to such an extent that the king stood up, and two thousand soldiers stood with him. At that moment, a hoarse and ugly roar came from his mouth, like a wild beast losing its cubs and pounced on the hunter with hatred.
