Volume VII Rise!Orson Manor 59 Sean's Depression 01
Sean was sitting in his tent in deep thought, his eyes looking out of the open curtain. His eyes fell on the distance, where Hawke's Castle of the Silver Arrows was located, an important position he was about to take.
Sean has always disliked Hawke, and he doesn't like Abby either, or rather, no one in the Virgil family is Sean's favorite object. At the age of eight, he understood that it was his mission to become King of Virgil, and that for that he had to remove all obstacles.
So he's been working on it. But he is not as talented as Hawke, and he is not as favored as Abby, so since he was sensible, Sean has been exercising his patience and perseverance, secretly cultivating his strength until the day when the opportunity comes.
He is not like other unwise royals, who always use shady poison tactics to find an opportunity to destroy his rivals. On the contrary, he behaves with a big belly, and in all his words and deeds he is a qualified prince, who loves his brothers and sisters, and is like a strong haven.
Sean thinks he's doing a good job, but Hawke is always not close to him and keeps secretly competing with him. And Abby was born with only a chest but not a brain, and she hugged the thigh of Virgil's current king, hoping to inherit the throne smoothly and become the empress.
This situation troubled Sean, his brother's policy failed, and Hawke was far more shrewd and cautious than he thought, and it was no longer possible to get rid of him without revealing it. What's worse is Uncle Reeves, this royal thief is far more powerful than he imagined, not only does he transfer many royal assets to places that no one knows, but he also secretly holds an invisible force. This hidden power has always been Sean's flesh, otherwise he wouldn't have to play a good big brother, and he would have gotten rid of Hawke a long time ago.
Sean always thought that he would endure it for a few more years, maybe until he was in his thirties. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and Abby finally fell out of favor and turned the target of her wooing to herself. This made Sean finally have more than half of the power in his hands, so he did not hesitate to launch a thunderous blow, and quickly surrounded the Silver Arrow Castle, no longer giving Hawke a chance to escape.
The reality is. He has more than forty percent of his troops, Abby has nearly twenty percent, and Hawk has less than forty percent. If it is tough, especially if you are attacking and Hawk is defending the ground, the forces of both sides will be consumed a lot. This is something Sean doesn't like to see. But that's what Abby would love to see. Because no matter what the outcome of the siege is, Sean and Hawke's forces will eventually be on par with their own, and the situation of the three parties will appear in a short period of time, and then each will show his magic and destroy whom, it will depend on his own ability.
Abby was very clever in this move, taking advantage of Sean's determination to get rid of Hawke, the biggest rival, and invested his own strength, but in the end it was the strength of both Hawke and Sean that was consumed. Sean thinks that Abby, a big-hearted woman, can't come up with such a clever plan, and that the only thing that can come up with it is her new friendship. But even though he knows Abby's mind. Sean could only accept her offer to unite, because only then would there be enough power to get rid of Hawkland. As for Abby, Sean thinks that Hawk must be eliminated first. Then it was her turn to ask.
In this way, there is a big advance, that is, when you get rid of Hawk, you have to try to preserve your strength. In the end, Sean chose a relatively slow, but sensible method---- roundup!
Silver Arrow Castle was given by King Virgil during Hawke's rite of passage, and it is smaller than Sean's castle and larger than Abby's. Of the three castles inherited by Virgil's descendants, Silver Arrow has the best transportation and trade infrastructure, as well as the worst subsistence infrastructure. It lacks water and arable land, and relies on external transportation for its main food and water. The method of mobbing could not be more suitable for it.
When you start planning a siege site. The whole process went more smoothly than Sean had imagined. Sean knew that it was impossible for Hawke not to be unaware of his own mob plan. Besiege it with more than sixty percent of the force. It's bound to be successful. In such cases. If it's Sean himself. He thought he would flee. In order to make a comeback. Sean has already thought of a countermeasure to this. He wouldn't have fled first. The fugitive prince has nothing to fear. He will choose to recruit the soldiers and generals of Hawkland. You can't just strangle them all.
But I didn't expect it. Hawke didn't run away. He chose to defend the Silver Arrow Castle with his generals and soldiers. And even dragged Reeves to cushion his back. Such an unexpected gain made Sean overjoyed. Hawke has been envoy to the imperial capital since he was born. It changed a lot when I came back. It seems that he is far less shrewd and cunning and unruly than he was at the beginning. Instead, it's a bit like a lion with its claws cut off. Become a mother-in-law. Lost its sharp momentum.
What's more fun than an opponent getting weaker? Sean isn't stupid. Don't do that kind of stupid thing where we have a strong showdown. Compared to this stupidity. He likes to attack the weak with the strong. One move is deadly. From beginning to end, there is no way to live.
It took only one day for the entire siege to take shape. Sean bolted the army forward. Cut off all the way to and from Silverarrow Castle. If Hawke were to escape. Before the enclosure is completed. He had a brief chance. Once the encirclement is formed. No one will be able to fly!
Now Sean has besieged Hawke for eleven days. It will continue for 12 and 13 days. And so on and so on.
Shake the glass of water in your hand slightly. Sean smiled slightly. Estimated Hawk. Even Abby thought she would lose her breath. A surprise attack will be launched when it is almost encircled. They couldn't have guessed that their idea of fighting the ground in the first place was to kill the siege! and then take advantage of the situation to drag the Ai team. Look for a chance to take a bite. Expect yourself and Hawke to have a real fight?
Continuing to shake the water glass, Sean showed a confident smile: Give me another half a month, and when I take Hawk, Virgil will change the sky!
Feeling irrepressibly excited, Sean raised his head and took a long sip of water to moisten his dry throat. Sean is an extremely disciplined person and almost never drinks so as not to make a mistake. But at this time, he couldn't help but think that when he got rid of Hawke's flesh, he would definitely get drunk!
He was planning how to treat himself after the big victory, when he suddenly heard a faint noise outside. Sean pulled down his face, Huo Ran stood up, and shouted in a deep voice outside the tent: "What's the noise outside?"
"Report to Your Highness, someone has broken into the camp!"
Breaking into camp?
Sean's first thought was that there were people in his camp who dared to break in, and then wondered if it would be Hawke's Jedi counterattack. The thought only went through his mind once, and Sean dismissed the idea. Such an act is to send to death, and Hawke would not do such a stupid thing. Could it be that Reeves's hidden power has finally surfaced in an attempt to tear through his own defenses?
With a move in his heart, Sean strode to the outside of the tent. If that's the case, it's better to come by chance, and this is the best opportunity to pull out the power that Reeves has secretly planted that has always made him jealous. The most terrifying thing about the hidden power is that they have been hidden, and when they make a move, it is a thunderous force that will kill them. And now that there is a light to contend with himself, the poisonous snake in the shadows has been quite removed from its fangs, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
Coming outside the tent, Sean couldn't help but be stunned.
Only one person came to break into the camp.
It's really just one person!
From afar, a tall man was swooping down among the soldiers as fast as lightning, swift as the wind and clash left and right in the midst of a large group of soldiers, and with a band of soldiers like headless flies, they chased him to the east and then to the west.
Sean stood from a distance and felt a chill on his scalp after only a moment. The person who came was quite powerful, and the ordinary soldiers were not his generals at all, and they were completely down. Only generals at the level of captain can use the strength of dozens of people to surround him, but he still makes him seize the opportunity from time to time, and put down one after a few.
After another moment, the man ran to the flagpole, looked up, and his feet bounced up, and he shot into the air like arrows, and slashed the flag with a sword.
The whole army was in an uproar!
The man fell down again, reached out to grab the broken flag, and looked up to the sky and laughed.
Sean looked intently, and saw that the man was tall and strong, about one hundred and eighty-five tall, with broad shoulders, thin waist and narrow hips, dressed as a ranger, dark gray tight pants, loose short top, leather gloves made of no obvious leather, knee-length boots under his feet, covered with a red cloth towel, and holding a huge sword in his right hand.
Such a great sword, Sean has only heard of in legends. The bright red face towel, Sean has only heard in legends.
There is only one ranger in the Western Continent who dares to use bright red colors as a face towel and can hold such a big sword, and that is the strongest ranger in the Western Continent---- Magic Sword Ranger, Orson Travis!
is also good and evil, the most troublesome unruly character who can't be recruited!
"Magic Sword, Orson Travis!" exclaimed Sean.
As if sensing this exclamation, Orson Travis glanced at Sean from a distance and shouted, "Sean!"
Sean's heart shook wildly, forced himself to calm down, and shouted loudly: "Lord Ranger, you and I have always been well water and not river water, where did I provoke you?"
Orson moved his wrist, threw the big sword and caught it, and a flash of lightning slashed out in the air, and the man laughed in the thunder light: "You didn't mess with me, but you are looking for trouble with my son's friend." If you are in trouble with him, you are in trouble with my son. The trouble you make for my son is the trouble for me. If you find trouble with me, I'll find trouble with you!"
A bunch of messy nonsense, making Sean dizzy, couldn't tell what Orson was talking about in a short time, and only accurately grasped one information: This powerful magic sword You Jian doesn't know which nerve is connected to the wrong line, and he wants to find his own trouble!
