In one of the courtyards of Siegburg, there was a dense sound of footsteps. Several men dressed in black hurried to the cabin in front of them.

"Lord Karl's Urgent Military Intelligence". One of the men in the lead bowed to Carl and handed him the parchment in his hand. He bowed his head slightly in respect.

They were originally the intelligence elite under Viscount Adolf of Eyre, and they didn't want to cheapen the Church of Light at this time. The form is like this, and there is nothing to be done.

Karl took the parchment and slowly opened it to look closely, his eyes moving on it, and then his brow furrowed.

"Charlie can't sit still?". Karl's eyes were red and he clearly hadn't rested.

The capture of Siegburg seemed to be so smooth, but the effort and energy he put into it was not something that others could have imagined.

The man at the head heard Karl's question, raised his head and looked over: "Charlie sent messengers to urge us ten times last night, if it wasn't for us spreading false information, I'm afraid we would have already started to attack Siegburg last night."

"Ten times?". Carl gradually fell into deep thought, and a tricky feeling crept into his mind.

His eyes looked around at the men dressed in black, and finally fell on the man in charge: "I just heard that the Pope, the Presiding Judge, and the Paladin Master have all gone to the place of training, so we must continue to stall for time."

"Benny, you were trained by me, and I know everything about your abilities. I now solemnly ask you if there is any way to continue to delay Charlie." The man in black led by Carl said very seriously.

Benny fell into deep thought, and after a while, shook his head at Karl: "The methods that should be used have been exhausted, and if they continue, Charlie's character should be suspicious."

"How good is that?" Hearing Benny's reply, Karl furrowed his brow a little tighter, and gradually fell into deep thought.

Footsteps were heard again, and a man in black walked quickly towards Carl with a parchment roll in his hand.

The eyes of Carl and the others followed the direction from which the voice came, and at the same time fell on the parchment roll in the hand of the man in black.

The man in black was covered in sweat, apparently because of the urgency of the intelligence, so he didn't have time to wipe it off.

"Urgently, Charles ordered us to open the gates by this afternoon, or else we will attack." The man in black spoke quickly to Carl, then handed over the parchment.

Carl took the parchment roll, looked around it, and saw that it was Charlie's handwriting on it, so he subconsciously took a deep breath.

Don't look at the Church of Light so easily taking Fort Sieg, but they only have three hundred paladins and twenty knights of the Judgment.

In addition to the fact that the Pope and others went to the place of training, he could not mobilize the paladins and the knights of judgment at all.

Therefore, the only way to do this is to wait for the return of the Pope and others, and for the soldiers of Fort Sieg to regain their combat effectiveness.

Karl clenched the parchment in his hand for a few moments, then looked at Benny: "Tell Charlie that this afternoon we will incite Francis on time and open the west gate of Siegburg."

"But ......." Benny couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Carl's decision, and as Carl's henchman, he naturally knew the current situation well. At this time, what was lacking in Siegburg was time, and the soldiers in Siegburg could only continue the battle when they regained their strength.

Seeing Benny's demeanor, Carl said slowly to him, "Don't forget, there is a priest here."

"Pastor?". Benny and the others thought of the Holy Maiden, and they looked at them with piousness.

Then he bowed to Karl, "Yes".

As soon as the words fell, he walked outside with all the men in black.

Carl saw the men in black walking away, looking out of the house, as if he was slowly thinking about something.

Move your footsteps gently and slowly walk forward.

......

In the Viscount of Siegburg's mansion, Karl walked quickly inside.

"Carl?". A voice of surprise came.

Karl hurriedly looked in the direction where the voice came from, and couldn't help laughing: "Baron."

"No, it should be Viscount Sig." Carl spoke slowly to Francis.

A thick smile appeared on the corner of Francis's mouth, and he couldn't imagine that the Church of Light was so tolerant of him, allowing himself to control the internal affairs of the entire Siegburg and the former army: "I am still a baron, after all, without the approval of the Pope, how dare I call myself a viscount."

"Carl, what are you hurrying here for? Francis asked Carl.

Karl nodded at Francis: "Charlie can't sit still, and orders us to open the city gates in the afternoon, or he will launch a strong attack."

"That's not really good news." Francis gradually frowned. What is most needed at this time is to let the soldiers rest, but I didn't expect Charlie to come so quickly. Moreover, with the Pope and others missing, the power of the Church of Light could not be effectively mobilized.

Looking up at the sky, he saw that it was already noon, so he frowned a little tighter.

Karl saw Francis frowning, and his heart suddenly sank: "How many soldiers and horses can be mobilized in the castle?"

"After the treatment of the Holy Maiden and the priests, the three hundred wounded soldiers have recovered almost completely, so we should be able to move these three hundred soldiers." Francis said slowly to Carl.

Then there was a slight pause: "As for the rest of the soldiers, they must rest because they are too tired, and it will not help if they are forcibly gathered".

"Actually, I think the safest way is to wait for the Pope or the wise to transfer the Paladins and the Judgment Knights." Francis suggested to Carl.

Karl shook his head, time was of the essence, and there was no time to wait. So he subconsciously shook his two hands together, his eyes flashed with hesitation, and then he gritted his teeth heavily: "Francis, do you dare to let Charlie into the city."

"I'm loyal to my lord, how could I let Charlie into my Siegberg." Francis was startled and hurriedly said to Carl. How could he be careless when he said such things at this time?

Seeing Francis's reaction, Carl understood that the way he asked seemed to be except for a question: "I mean, if Francis lets Charlie into the city, will you be afraid in your heart and unable to kick Charlie out."

"Old friend, you're scared me to death." Hearing Carl's words, Francis breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, it was as if I smelled death.

Carl heard Francis's complaint, smiled at him, and did not reply.

Francis thought about it again and said to Carl: "Now the city defense is guarded by paladins, not to mention that we drive them out, even if we let them in, it will be very difficult."
