By this time, if Bloom hadn't reacted to the fact that he had been cheated by Chris, then he wouldn't be stupid enough to describe it.

"When was the last time he was seen?"

After a brief moment of despair, he raised his head and glared at the guard with bloodshot eyes and asked, he was unwilling, even if he died, he would drag the culprit to die together.

"Yesterday, yesterday noon, yesterday noon, Mr. Chris left from you and returned home since he was not seen again. ”

The guard's eyes rolled sharply, and he hurriedly replied, for fear that Bronn would take his own life if he was not satisfied, and he had not done such a thing as killing people if he disagreed.

"Send them all out at once, and follow all the roads near Hierro City, and find him for me!"

Bron was darkened when he heard this.

He was now convinced that it was all Chris's conspiracy, and if that guy had escaped yesterday, the chances of getting him back were pitiful.

"Chris, I'm going to kill you!"

But the more important thing now is not where Chris has gone, but whether the 6,000 soldiers he sent out have met with accidents.

Although he was tempted to convince himself that 6,000 against 4,000 was still the better chance of winning on his side, reason told him that it would be difficult for his army to defeat the army of the Iron Fang.

And this time he didn't think that the two armies would fight, so the war equipment was not brought over, plus there was no intention, Bron didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

"Quick! Send out cavalry and chase the army led by Morin back immediately!"

But he still wanted to try to make amends, in case a miracle happened, such as something wrong with Morin on the way to the army, causing the army to be delayed.

"Also, close the gates at once, and let no one open them without my command. ”

"Pass my order, strictly prohibit the residents of the city from moving around, and if there is a violator, kill!"

"Send a messenger to the nobles near the city of Hierro, and say that I need their help, and that I will be grateful when I get through this difficult time. ”

Bronn tried to calm himself down, and the orders passed from his mouth, and no amount of irritability and remorse at this time was to no avail.

All he could do now was to call on more forces to help him get through this difficult time, otherwise it would be impossible for him to hold the city with only the remaining 2,000 troops in the city.

At the same time, Captain Atum, who was far away in White Sword City, was not in much better mood.

Because now he has three letters on his desk, one from Zola, one from Bron and one from Prince Phil.

Zola wanted him to send troops to intimidate the other northern province, Geron, so that it would hinder Jason's plan, while Bron hoped that he could help him attack Lucca, and the benefits would be divided equally between the two sides, and Phil directly ordered him to unite with the northern garrison to launch a fatal blow to Jason's Iron Fang.

So now there are three paths in front of him, one is to continue to support Jason as he was previously intended, and the second is to attack Jason according to Bron and Phil's intentions.

The third way is that he pretends to be stupid, and when nothing has happened, he will not get involved in this battle for the throne of the royal family.

This third path had already been abandoned by him as soon as possible, because he had been very uneasy because of Jason's frequent gaze on the White Sword Province.

So in order to stabilize Jason, he later contacted Zola, and recognized Zola's true identity, and also met Lancelot, who he thought was the first warrior under Jason.

It's just that he didn't stupidly run out and hype Zola's identity, not only is it useless, but he will also make a fuss for himself.

According to the current situation, it seems that this second path is the most in his interests, because Jason's current strength is still a lot worse than that of all the nobles in the north combined.

However, if what Zola's letter says is true, then his rash action may bring great losses.

This made Atum's heart very tangled.

Zola's letter to him was vaguely reminded that no matter what decision White Sword City wanted to make, Jason's side had the ability to destroy White Sword City before his army reached Lucca Province.

This can be seen as a kind of intimidation, of course, it is also possible that Zola is suspicious, but the suspicious Atum does not dare to gamble, because if he loses the bet, he will have to lose the bottom of the money.

These people like to play mysterious, and they only say half of everything, and they are really tired, Atum pinched his eyebrows.

Although the possibility of Phil sitting in that position is very high, because he is in the royal city right now, Jason has more potential.

There are so many strong people under his command to follow, and each of them has such a strong ability to command troops, and it is not certain who will kill the two sides when the time comes.

If Phil were to be replaced by himself, he would definitely get rid of Jason's henchman as soon as possible, instead of watching him grow up little by little.

In the end, it became an existence that made everyone feel tricky.

"Someone. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Atum's eyes gradually became solemn, and he seemed to have made some decision in his heart.

"Your Excellency. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards came to the door.

"Gather your troops, contact Count Yuri, we are on our way to the Baria Pass. ”

Count Yuri is Atum's father-in-law, he married the only daughter of Count Yuri, and today he can sit in this position stably, and Yuri's family is indispensable.

The Baria Pass is an important pass between the White Sword Province and the Jiran Province, through which his army can reach the city of Jiren within three days.

"Yes, sir. ”

The guard looked up at Atum in astonishment, then lowered his head in a deep voice.

"When did I get so crazy? I hope he doesn't blame me for pulling the Yuri family into this quagmire. ”

After the guards left, Atum looked at the three letters on the table in a daze, picked up the letters from Prince Phil and Bron and burned them, and then shook his head with a wry smile and said to himself.

He also meant to protect the Yuri family, because once Jason took over the White Sword Province, the first thing he would do was to clean up the great nobles who threatened him.

So he's helping Yuri's family vote.

........................................................................

A few days later, the high walls of Hierro were filled with soldiers, who had been in a state of mental tension for a few days, and the city was built after Lopez occupied the north, and the walls were more than ten meters high enough to withstand most of the enemy's onslaught.

"Here they are......"

Bron standing on the rampart of the city suddenly muttered to himself, and smoke and dust gradually rose on the horizon in the distance in his sight, and Gareth's army was about to arrive.
