Section 91 Into the city
The reason why Keith killed his brother was so that the family could continue to pass it on, and his brother was killed because he wanted to give up the territory that their family had run for hundreds of years, which is really ironic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In other words, from the very beginning, Keith's attack on the Black Mountain Pass camp of Viscount Marne was a flaw that he deliberately leaked to the northern nobles led by Harrens.
At that time, even if Gray didn't let Mark go to the group of nobles, they would have plotted to capture Harrence City in a few days, because Keith still had Qiman as a pawn!
When Gray thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, wouldn't the five thousand gold coins given by those nobles cheapen himself in vain.
Keith's thinking was clear, he knew that Harrence City would not be able to be defended no matter what, even if he could barely resist Gray's attack, what would await him behind would be the army of the Earl of Lockton.
Therefore, it is not his goal to keep Harrens City, the goal he set early on is Covinde City, which is Cowinde City of Viscount of Marne, but it is not an easy thing to easily take Covinde City.
Most importantly, Keith must completely defeat Viscount Marne's army in Harrens, preferably even Viscount Marne.
At the same time, Keith knew that even if he defeated Viscount Marne, his last remaining strength would definitely not be enough to capture Covinde City, he had to help, and the best help he could think of was Gray's strength.
However, Keith also knew that in order for Gray to help him, he had to have the corresponding chips, so Keith set up a game with Harrence City, and his butler Qiman did not betray him at all, as long as Keith gave an order now, those nobles in the city would be completely wiped out in one night.
Of course, in order to get Gray's help, even if he is secretly loyal to Gray, he is willing, as long as he gets Covinde City, his family will have something to rely on, but this is Keith's bottom line, if the other party doesn't mention it, he won't be stupid enough to say it first.
Temporary humiliation is for the sake of future rise, and Keith is convinced of this famous saying.
The battle on the side of the Viscount Marne barracks is over.
When the group of knights under Viscount Marne learned the news of their lord's death, they suddenly lost their morale and had no desire to fight.
At this point in the war, Gray naturally wanted to show his benevolent side, and he asked Keith to accept the surrender of the soldiers, and of course, Gray did this, which was also done to show the citizens of Harrence City, who needed a benevolent lord too much now.
On the morning of September 7, 1211 in the continental calendar.
The gates of Harrence City, which had been closed for almost two months, were opened by the defenders early this morning, and the war between the Lockton family and the Donna family, which lasted nearly five months, ended on this day.
Whatever the facts, the history books of the scholars go down as follows: The young lord, Baron Grey Cage, with 2,000 infantry, defeated the 5,000 troops of Viscount Marne in just three days, and then forced the surrender of Viscount Keith Donna in Harrens.
Since then, Gray's name has spread to the ears of the surrounding big lords.
Gray's troops had already assembled outside the city, the blood on the armor of the soldiers had been cleaned, the spears were polished, and the flag in the hands of the flag bearer had been made last night, and the family pattern of the Gray family could be seen clearly from a distance.
After the city gate opened, Gray took off his helmet and handed it to Rena, let her hold it, Gray said in his heart at the moment that it must be impossible not to be nervous, he felt now, just like the feeling when he first held a sword in a knight's class, this feeling was amazing, excitement with satisfaction, satisfaction with nervousness.
Gray looked left and right at the few people beside him, Reyna Knight, Sir Rant, Cente Knight, Mark Knight, except for Sir Rand, whose eyes were a little complicated, the other three, the joy on their faces could be clearly felt.
"Let's go into the city!" Gray ordered, and with that, Gray grabbed the pioneer horse and walked towards the city of Harness, and suddenly, the soldiers in bright armor began to slowly advance towards the gate of Harrens.
It wasn't until more than ten years later that the citizens who witnessed all this in Harrence City recalled that the dense clusters, spears and neighing horses were still fresh in their memories, especially the handsome armor of the female knight in the team, which made many girls in the city yearn for it, so that when Baron Cage was recruited later, there were still female citizens who came.
The current Harrence City, there is no danger anymore, as early as last night, Gray's troops have controlled Harrence City, the soldiers on the city wall, and the guards in the city are Gray's people.
Keith followed the procession into the city, guarded by Punk, he was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary soldier, through the gap in the line of soldiers, he was quietly observing Gray's back, the reins in his hand were tightly pulled by him, his own family had run the territory for hundreds of years, and the taste of being occupied by others, he was only 18 years old and deeply experienced.
"Will he ever come back one day?" Keith kept asking himself this question in his mind, he knew that even if Gray helped him capture the city of Covinde, the price would probably be huge, and his family would probably never return to this land in his lifetime.
His troops, already attacking the camp of the Viscount of Marne, had suffered most of the damage, and were already less than two thousand men.
Keith turned his head to look at the mercenary-born man on the side, his attention was always on himself, and Keith was sure that if he did something wrong, he would definitely be killed on the spot.
The procession is approaching the gates of Harrens City.
With a touch of hostility and fear, as well as a little anticipation, the citizens of the city silently stared at the troops marching into the city, praying to the goddess Shari in their hearts.
Gray could sense the hostility of the citizens of the city, but he didn't care about it, and soon there would be no descendants of the Donna family in the land, not even the nobles who were loyal to their family.
Looking at the city of Harrence that was close at hand, the events of the past few months kept flashing through Gray's mind.
Last evening, the fast horse that had reported the victory to the Earl of Lockton had already set out, and if nothing else, the next day the good news would have been presented to the Earl of Lockton.
On the afternoon of September 8, the day after Gray took Harrens, Fort Herien.
The Earl of Lockton had already returned from Cook City, and his conversation with Archduke de Rooney was barely good, and he was now in his castle study, and his Prime Minister Dale was reporting on the bereavement of the soldiers who had died in battle.
"Knock! knock!"
A loud knock at the door interrupted the conversation between the two old men, and the Earl of Lockton looked displeased, and Sir Dale got up and opened the door.
"I'm sorry! Sir Dale!" said Knight Yeke, the captain of the Earl of Lockton's guard, with an apologetic face.
Dale smiled calmly and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's Baron Cage's messenger, there's good news, and I want to present it to Lord Earl!"
Knight Yeke said, turning sideways, and behind him was a slightly tired soldier, holding a sealed letter in his hand.
"Let him in!" said the Earl of Lockton's voice at once.
When Sir Dale heard this, he immediately opened the door in its entirety, and the Jerk knight made an apologetic expression and led the victorious soldier into the study, and the soldier stopped at the door and handed the letter to the Jerk knight.
The soldier saw the letter fall into the hands of the Earl of Lockton before he was relieved and bowed away.
