Seventy miles away from the White Crow City, the atmosphere of Wind's Breath was filled with an atmosphere of tension and slaughter.

The ruler of the North, the new head of House Breton, Angsai, had arrived in the military town yesterday morning, while the defenders and militias of several other cities had been brought in from behind him.

In just two days, more than 10,000 troops have been gathered here, and more than half of the armed forces in the north have gathered here.

Ang Sai had just ridden his horse to inspect the fortifications outside the city, took off his gloves, and strode into the mansion, where he was immediately reported to him by the adjutant who was waiting beside him.

"As of this morning, the garrison of the two cities has arrived with a total of 3,600 men, another 5,000 militiamen, and the troops of Dute City, the farthest point, are still on the way, and are expected to arrive early tomorrow morning, plus the troops already stationed in Storm's End, there are 12,000 men in total. ”

"Well, how's the escort requisition and the hiring of adventurers going?" Angsai took the hot towel and wiped his face.

"The Frenza side requisitioned a thousand men, and the Curls were the most active, volunteering six hundred, the Swains were willing to give four hundred, Mittal two hundred and twenty, and Arnold one hundred and sixty...... There were about 3,600 people in total, and the families promised to send them to Storm's End by the day after tomorrow, and there were 700 more on the adventurer's side. ”

"Too little. Ang Sai shook his head, "There are more than 400 large and small nobles in the north, occupying more than half of the territory, their guards can't be only so little, my bottom line is 7,000 people, I don't care what method they use to make up this number for me, I am not allowed to use tenant farmers and children under the age of fourteen to make up the number, I want soldiers who can fight, the elite of 7,000 people, tell them that if the Wind Rest Fort can't withstand the northern border, it will be completely finished, and no one in this land will be spared." ”

After saying that, Ang Sai commanded, "When these people get here, they will be disorganized and reorganized, and they will be handed over to Condon to command." ”

"Yes. The adjutant nodded and wrote it down.

"In addition, the adventurer's guild will increase the bounty amount, and all those who participate in the battle will be knighted and promoted to nobles, and those who perform well can also get fiefs. Angsai threw away the towel, and the guards pushed open the door to the conference room for him.

The moment the door was opened, the quarrel and scolding poured into Angsai's ears, and he couldn't help frowning at the chaotic scene in front of him.

In the conference room sat the generals of various armies, not only from Storm's End, but also from the other three cities, in addition to the Bretton family, there were other noble troops that were recruited, the militia and the regular army were mixed, and there were also temporary leaders elected by the adventurers, these people also had a lot of old grudges with each other, and it was inevitable to quarrel in the same room, they arrived at Storm's End and learned the whole truth of the matter, only to know that they were put on the chariot in the north by Angsai, and many people cursed their mothers in their hearts.

But it's useless to regret it at this point, Ang Sai told a lot of lies before, but there is one sentence that does not lie, if the Storm's Rest Castle falls, then the northern realm will be completely finished, and only the remaining sporadic resistance of the various families will not be able to stop the group of monsters from the abyss.

Everyone was discussing how to defend the Storm's Rest Castle for a whole morning, but unfortunately there was no result in the discussion, even if they have gathered an army of more than 10,000 people now, but compared to that group of monsters, the strength of the two sides is still too disparity, and other monsters are okay to say, especially the six-headed Abyss Lord, with this amount of manpower at the moment, there is nothing to be done at all.

Seeing Ang Sai walking into the conference hall, the voice gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes focused on the latter, but unfortunately Ang Sai's face had no expression, he walked to the conference table, pulled out the iron chair and sat in, and said, "What are you arguing about?"

Francsa's troop commander Roach bowed, "Lord Angsai, we are discussing the deployment of troops, Storm's Breath is only a small city, it can't accommodate so many troops, and it just so happens that Baron Gaylord's troops are mainly cavalry, I wonder if we can detach a part of it to cruise around and stand by." ”

Baron Gaylord is a young man in his twenties, his father Gaylord Sr. fell off his horse while hunting last year and broke his neck, so his only son inherited his title, Gaylord's family has been a vassal of the Bretton family for generations, this time after receiving the order of Angsai, he personally brought people to come, there is no doubt about loyalty, at this time, he couldn't help but scold, " Luo Qi who went to NMD, I am not the only one who brought cavalry, didn't Lao Tzu beat your youngest son in the tavern three years ago, you are simply a personal vendetta. ”

Roach's proposal is not a problem from a strategic point of view, let people lead a team of cavalry to ambush outside, which can insert into the enemy formation at a critical moment and have the effect of a surprise attack, but regardless of success or not, Gaylord and his men and horses will not want to come back alive, and Storm's Breath will not open the city gates for them in the melee, which is almost a certain death situation.

There are many other situations in the same situation, Storm's Rest now gathers many troops from different places, on the bright side, Angsai's strategy has worked, mobilizing the armed forces of the north to the greatest extent, but the problem also arises, whether the various troops can obey the order and complete their respective duties, especially in the face of the mortal situation, whether they can put aside each other's prejudices and unite together, this is the most serious problem that Angsai has to face, and if this problem cannot be solved, Storm's Rest Castle will inevitably fall.

Ang Sai tapped his fingers on the marble tabletop, and the conference hall fell silent for a moment, and then he took out a note and threw it on the table, "This is from the carrier pigeon over there in Crow City, everyone take a look." ”

Roach on the left-hand side was the first to take the note, the edge of the note was still mottled with bloodstains, but the content inside was even more shocking after unfolding, Roach's expression changed immediately after reading it, he didn't say anything, and silently passed the note to the next person......

Eventually, everyone had seen the note, and there was a dead silence in the chamber.

The content of the note is very simple, the White Crow City is besieged, although the number of the other party is less than four thousand, but almost every monster can be one hundred, the first day of the end of the White Crow City's defenders casualties are close to ninety, the civilian casualties are more than 20,000, the White Crow City is crumbling, the city lord Warren urgently asked for help, imploring the Wind Rest Fort seventy miles away to send troops.

There was silence for a moment, but it was Gaylord who spoke first, "Damn, the men in the north are all with handles, Lao Tzu will take people to the White Crow Fort now, who wants to come with me?"

Before his words fell, many people echoed the voice, the northern territory is still martial, and there is no shortage of bloody brave people, Luo Qi also said, "Although my troops are mainly infantry, there are also three magicians in it, who can release the group light body technique, and as long as two magics are used, you can rush to the White Crow City." ”

Ang Sai closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, until there were more and more people asking for battle, he opened his eyes again, slapped his palm on the table, and opened his mouth word by word, "No one is allowed to send troops to aid White Crow City without my order." ”
