Just as the early commander was about to step out of the tent, the doorman suddenly blocked the way with a spear in his hand, and the guards in the tent drew their weapons one after another. The regiment commanders were shocked, and they also drew their weapons to aim at Ai Sona, and the face of the one who took the lead suddenly turned cold, and said in a deep voice, "Ms. Ai Sona, what do you mean by this?"

"Nothing interesting, Captain Thatch. It wasn't Aisona who spoke, but Clerk Roden-Roth, who had been standing silently behind Aisona, "Are you going to give up the mission?"

"Hmph, so what?"

"Then you are in breach of clause 4 of the penultimate clause of the contract, according to which you must return the deposit previously paid to you. ”

"Contract?" "Captain Thatch laughed as if he had heard some big joke, "Little girl, it seems that Uncle I want to teach you some principles of life, the contract is just a piece of waste paper." If we don't pay, what can you do?"

Before the words fell, a mercenary hurriedly ran into the tent, and was startled at first when he saw the tense appearance inside, but when he found that the two groups of people had no intention of fighting, he cautiously trotted to his captain's side, whispered a few words, and the captain's face immediately turned pale.

"The men of the 'Bloodfront' have surrounded our camp!"

"What?" The faces of the group leaders also turned white instantly, and the leader turned even more pale, turned his head to look at Aisona, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Fulfill the agreement. Aisona, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Pay the deposit, and I'll let you go." However, if you don't want to die, take the path out of Uxhall. ”

"You guys are robbing!"

"As if you weren't. ”

Captain Thatch gritted his teeth and was silent for a long time, but finally reluctantly reached out and took out a piece of paper from his bosom that had been carefully stowed away, and threw it to Ethina. This is an IOU stamped with a Roden-Roth stamp, and with this IOU, you can go to the branch of the Roden-Roth comptoir in any city to collect the corresponding amount, and this very convenient transaction voucher is very popular on the business road. However, not everyone can issue an IOU, and the IOU issued must be recognized by the merchants, first, it must have a large enough asset to ensure that it can afford to pay it back, and second, it must have a good enough reputation to ensure that it will be repaid, and Rawden-Ross happens to meet both of these points.

When the leader Thatch handed over his deposit, the others had no choice but to do so, even if they didn't want to, or they might not even be able to get out of the camp door. After the clerk threw all the IOUs into the campfire in front of them, the doorman put his spear back up. Before leaving, Captain Thatch slammed Asona and roared, "Remember, little bitch! If I see you in a brothel one day, I don't mind spending some copper on you for a few nights." The regimental commanders also cursed and left, and Aisona glanced at the tent, but saw that there was still an old god sitting on the ground at the empty conference table, and he did not leave with the same anger or angry as the others, but like a nobleman, his feet were crossed on the table, and he gracefully trimmed his nails.

Her Royal Highness the Princess was a little curious, and stepped forward and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

The regimental commander withdrew his legs and replied, "I am Ellene, the commander of the Arein Brigade, and it is a pleasure to fight alongside you, Your Highness the Princess. ”

Aisona looked at the young leader, but was surprised to find that this man was not ordinary. He looked stocky, had blond shawl hair, and judging by his pale green eyes and the crescent tomahawk on his back, he was a Virgian. At first glance, the armor on his body was dull and lackluster, as if it was normal, but when he looked closely, he realized that it was a delicate Vigia composite armor. However, his master probably thought carefully enough to let the blood and dust obscure the luster of this expensive armor.

Her Royal Highness the Princess couldn't help but glance at him, someone who can wear such good armor must be unusual. So, she asked, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Captain Elleon, may I ask you, why didn't you leave with them?"

Alleyne looked at the backs of the leaders outside the door as they gradually moved away, spat on them, and then said disdainfully, "Because they're all a bunch of fools." ”

"Oh?" said Asona, intrigued, "How?"

"Simple. Alleyne folded his arms and said confidently, "In this situation, the most anxious must be you, and you are still so calm, although it is a little unbelievable, but it means that you must have some tricks to quickly break through the walls of Uxhall, in this case, why do I have to give up this considerable commission?"

"That's true, you're smart. Asona gave a rare smile, "So, won't you tell your companions?"

"Companions, they?" said Alleyne chin in the direction the leaders had left, "Oh, they're not companions, they're partners at best." Besides, I care more about reputation than about commissions. And the epic title of 'Conqueror of Uxhall' naturally has fewer people and is more valuable. So, why should I tell them?"

"That's true," Isona smiled and nodded, "if they had worked together, the outer walls would have been taken down long ago." Okay, Captain Ellene, you go back and have a good rest first, it is estimated that the victory or defeat will be in these two days. ”

"As you wish, Your Highness the Princess. By the time Phatis had finished his business and gone to the princess's tent to meet him, it was already late. Although those mercenaries were not very honest, they were completely discouraged by a day's attack, so although there was some small friction, they were quickly suppressed by the knights. Of course, it is inevitable that the mercenaries will vent on their lips.

It would be fine if it was just that, but he found that many mercenary knights did not go far, but directly set up camp in their rear, apparently planning to find an opportunity to take revenge, this matter, Her Royal Highness could not be unaware.

The princess's tent was still lit, and he lifted the curtain, and the princess was still lying on the battle map, drawing with the charcoal pen in her hand.

"Is that you, Fatis?" asked the princess without looking up.

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

"Come on, there's still a lot to plan. The princess tapped on the map again, and then put away the charcoal, "We have offended so many mercenaries today, and they probably won't help us keep secrets." Presumably, the news of our siege is about to spread. Fatis, we are running out of time. ”

"Not only that," Fatis frowned on, "some of the mercenary groups haven't gone far, and it doesn't seem like they're going to settle it with us, so I suggest that some troops have to be left behind to defend the rear." ”

"Damn it!" Aisona gritted her teeth and slammed her fist on the conference table, "Those scumbags can't fight scum, but they have a hand in dragging their feet!"

"Whew!" she took a deep breath, calmed herself, and continued, "So, we don't have much to spare now. Today they withdrew the trebuchet because of the light enemy, but tomorrow it will not be necessarily. Fatis, come and time the trebuchet with me, and we're going to drench the city with black oil before our trebuchet is smashed!"

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

"Well, may I ask Her Highness the Princess," said Clerk Roden-Ross, who had been loading wood all the time, "do you plan to launch a general attack tomorrow?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

"Well, I guess this might help you. As she spoke, she took out an envelope from her personal pocket, "The boss told me to find a suitable time to hand it over to you, and I think it should be time now." Suspiciously, Asona took the envelope, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Have you seen it?"

"Yes, Your Highness, the boss didn't say that you can't watch it, so I just watched it. The clerk paused, "But don't worry, no one other than me and the boss knows the contents of the letterhead." ”

Asona frowned, not too happy with Roden-Rose's casual attitude. Still, she took out the letter and read it.

In a short time, the short letter was read, and the princess breathed a long sigh of relief, and even her voice became brisk, "It's worthy of the big boss of Rodden Ross, this plan is really timely." With that, he handed the letter to Fatis.

After reading it, Fatis immediately smiled, "Tsk, worthy of our 'Blood Front' military advisor! Your Highness, we have won! He looked up in confusion, "What is the last sentence 'the price that only His Highness can pay'?"

The clerk bowed slightly, as if making an apologetic gesture, "I'm sorry, this boss didn't mention it, but when the time comes to meet them, you should know." ”

"Alas, it's true," the relieved Aisona felt a little tired, rubbed her eyes that had black circles appeared, and relaxed and leaned back in the chair, "Such a big plan, why didn't Mu tell me directly, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have to suffer so much!"

"I guess the boss is not sure, after all, he wrote the letter so early, and the situation has not deteriorated to the way it is now. The clerk replied sternly, "Besides, he wants to save money." ”

"Save money?"

"Yes, what would you do if you were told you had this plan in the first place?"

"Of course it is... Aisona paused, there was no doubt that she would implement the plan on day one, and then, pay the full commission. Thinking of this, Her Royal Highness the Princess snorted and laughed, "What a cunning fellow. ”

The clerk bowed again, "I am very honored to hear you praise the boss so much, and to be his employee, and the next morning, the head of the regiment, Giorgio, came out of the tent with a yawn, and saw that in the open space behind the city wall, the trebuchets had been fully placed, and the soldiers in charge of operating the trebuchets were also in place, munching on bread by machinery.

"Yawn~ The aristocratic lords are really enlightened. With that, he turned around and went to the camp to get some porridge to drink, but this turn startled him, and the Overseer stood behind him at some point. This guy has a rickety figure, his face is pale, and in the thick dark circles under his eyes are a pair of bloodshot eyes, and the eye droppings at the corners of his eyes have not been wiped clean, and he does not have the aristocratic demeanor that he usually admires.

"Damn, what's wrong with you?" said the head of the regiment in shock.

"Huhu~yawn~ha" The Overseer yawned heavily and saluted Joljo in a very non-standard posture, "Captain Joljo, I brought the trebuchet back." ”

"Thank you, Sir. Giorgio was a little moved, "It was a hard conversation last night. ”

"Isn't it, yawn. The Overseer couldn't help but yawn again, "Last night the Dre Knight originally said that he wouldn't give the trebuchet, but if it weren't for me, and the colleague from Beacon Ash, I guess we would have been in a tough battle today." I really don't know what the use of that guy is collecting so many trebuchets, the inner walls are so short that they can't fit in. ”

"It seems that the employer still doesn't trust us," Giorgio shrugged, "maybe I'm afraid we'll take the trebuchet." ”

"Really," the Overseer was still indignant, "I was like that yesterday, what's there to be suspicious about?

"If it weren't for the heavy casualties yesterday, he wouldn't have agreed to deploy trebuchets today. Joel Johan laughed, "But to be honest, your commander's worries are not unreasonable, last night, there seemed to be some unpleasantness between the enemy and the mercenaries, and a large number of mercenaries left. ”

"Hey, really?" the Overseer said at first, "that's good for us... What a p!" He suddenly remembered something, turned his head, and asked, "Did we miss a good opportunity for a surprise attack?"

Joeljo nodded with a pout, and the Overseer immediately went crazy, "Rely on your back, the Dre Knight is incompetent!"

Looking at the mad Overseer, Joljo thinks this man is quite cute, but it's a pity...

Suddenly, the alarm bell in the city sounded, and the two looked at each other, and at the same time saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"Siege?"

"So early?"

When they rushed to the top of the city, they happened to see the enemy troops slowly arraying. Compared with the ragtag army of yesterday and the day before yesterday, today's army can be said to be completely new. The neat armor, the neat battle robes, the fluttering flags, and the high momentum, even just standing there in a line, give people a sense of invincibility.

"They are ... 'Bloodfront'?" asked Joljo, somewhat uncertain.

"It's Bloodfront!" the Overseer cut through the railroad, his eyesight was so good that he could see the other party's banner - a bloodied sword!

Soon, however, he noticed the anomaly again, "Hey, it's strange. ”

"What?" asked Giorgio.

"Why hasn't their trebuchet moved today? The Overseer muttered.

"Hey, they're moving!" shouted as the mercenary shouted, and everyone's eyes turned to the city. Sure enough, in full view of everyone, the military formation of "Blood Front" split into two and began to march towards the city walls on both sides, that is, towards the defense area of the Outlanji Brigade and the "Beacon Ash" mercenary group.

"What are they doing?" asked the Overseer, bewildered as he leaned on the battlements. He couldn't understand that Ryordian had abandoned the weakly defended mid-section in favor of attacking the heavily defended flanks.

"I think I'm afraid Isona is going to make a big move. The commander behind the Overseer said thoughtfully.

"What a big move!" the Overseer was startled, and quickly turned back to look at the regimental commander.

However, all he could see was a long sword that had been slashed straight down and a pair of cold eyes under the helmet of the sword owner.

Poof, the Overseer's head was tossed high by a fountain of blood with an expression of incredible fear, and the Ortranji mercenaries mercilessly stabbed their weapons into the Overseers' guards' chests. As simple as that, this small section of the city wall was immediately cleared.

Joljo sat on the battlements where the Overseer had just been lying on his stomach, unafraid that the arrows from outside the city would reach him. In fact, there was no need for him to worry, because the people outside the city had not fired even a single arrow.

"Listen, everyone!" cried Jorjo, "I haven't lost the red cloth I gave you!"

Well, almost everyone pulled out their strips of red cloth. However, some of the big bosses were obviously lost, and in a hurry, they rummaged around sweating. Some of them had a little more brains, and with a roll of their eyes, they immediately cut a strip from the Overseer's red robes. The idea was immediately well received by those around them, and it wasn't long before the corpses of the Overseer and several of his guards were stripped of bare pigs, and the murderous mercenaries didn't even let them wear some red socks.

Jorjo watched this farce quietly, and was not annoyed, and only after his subordinates finished making a fuss did he order, "Everyone should tie up the red cloth, otherwise, if anyone makes a joke and is hacked to death by the people of 'Bloodfront', he will consider himself unlucky." The team erupted in laughter. Then, Joljo's expression was solemn, and he ordered in a loud voice, "Crossbow team, suppress the trebuchets below from the top of the city, the sword team, one team to capture the trebuchet, and the second team to guard the city wall and meet the brothers of the 'blood edge'." ”

"Report to the regimental commander!" a soldier hurriedly reported, "The clippers have begun to shoot at the city!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Joljo showed a playful expression, "It seems that those pirates haven't been invited." With that, he jumped down from the battlements, "Change the order, the sword team, the first team will seize the trebuchet, and the second team will follow me and chop up those robbers!"

"Oh!"
