Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Soldiers Are Coming to the City
But by this time Ferdinand had lost his message, the damned viscount was still alive and well, and the plan had apparently been completely ruined. Now, if he wants to take Bishui City, then he can only attack head-on. But Baron Babu couldn't care so much anymore, he was so angry that he just wanted to find that damn viscount to take revenge. What's more, most of the garrison is not in Bishui City at the moment, which is also an opportunity.
Although he knew that it was not wise to forcibly attack the city, none of his subordinates dared to stand up against the baron. This was due to Baron Babu's usual prestige and tyrant-like manners. His men did not know what the Baron had encountered in the city of clear water, nor did they know where the retinue had gone with him.
But judging from the Baron's categorical tone and angry expression, the only possibility for him to stand up and disagree at this time is that the Baron will be directly executed and used as a death row prisoner to make a pre-war sacrifice flag.
On the other side, the knights ordered the gates to be closed after Baron Babu left the city. Immediately after returning to the lord's mansion, Mephi immediately interrogated Babu's entourage, and those who were still in a panic confessed all the men and horses that Babu had brought with him on his trip without much interrogation.
When he learned that there was an army of 800 men from Blackstone Fortress outside the city, Gray put down the interrogation and hurried over to report to the young man. At first, Mayfield suspected that Baron Babu's painstaking arrangement of operations in Blue Water City, even at the expense of arranging assassins, would not be as simple as robbing the prison. Besides, Baron Babu, as a lord of one side, can't just bring a few retinues when he visits Blue Water City...
And after Mei Fei learned the news, he immediately asked Gray to issue the highest level of vigilance in the blue water city, and at the same time, he immediately sent sentry horses and messengers to investigate the movement outside the city, and at the same time sent people to recruit the remaining garrisons outside the city.
Then, at the behest of the new lord, the Blue Water City Lord's Mansion issued the 'War Mobilization Order' for the first time in many years...
The tense atmosphere spread to the entire Bishui City in an instant, and even the travelers passing by here felt suffocated. Women, the elderly, and their children took refuge in their houses, bows and arrows were moved out of the arsenal and carried onto the walls, and the people of the city began to climb the walls in an orderly manner under the command of the sheriffs, helping to carry the huge stones used to defend the city and to build temporary oil drums.
The street was quiet and bustling a moment ago, but now it is already filled with the smell of beacon fire and wolf smoke...
The location is still the Lord's Palace, the brightly armored guards cavalry are divided into two columns, like a standing spear, standing straight in the hall on two plates, the cold spear in their hands releases a thick killing aura, the entire Lord's Mansion has become a battlefield at this moment, the main general's swords, armor is scattered, guns and swords are staggered, like an iron bucket array.
In the hall, at a huge conference table, Mei Fei sat in the center of the top. In turn, Gray, who is the captain of the knights, sits on his right hand, while the newly joined leader of Amand sits on the left and right, and then goes down to the leaders of several mercenary groups in Blue Water City.
Seeing that everyone was already in place, Mei Fei stood up and looked around, and said in a calm tone: "Everyone, you should know the purpose of inviting you here. ”
"Good. Seeing that everyone in the audience nodded silently, Mei Fei continued: "Captain Gray, you can tell the leaders what you know. ”
Gray stood up and pointed to one of the strategic maps on the conference table: "According to the retinue I brought back, Baron Babu brought eight hundred soldiers from Blackstone Fortress with him on this trip. They were now stationed less than ten kilometers east of the city, and they also carried large siege equipment. ”
"Your Excellency, you heard you right!?"
"Siege engines?large!?"
"What the hell, what the hell is that barbarian from Dassault Heights trying to do?!"
The words of the knight captain immediately caused the mercenaries to be restless. Fortunately, the young man knocked on the table before Gray continued.
"According to the descriptions of the entourage, the large siege engines were very inconvenient to move. According to the information they provided, it would take more than an hour for Baron Babu's troops to arrive in Blue Water City. ”
"An hour ago, the lord had already sent an envoy to recruit troops outside the city. But so far, none of the garrisons have been seen. In this way, it is very likely that the garrison is also in trouble. ”
After Gray finished speaking, the mercenaries all fell silent, you look at me, I look at you. After a while, they focused their eyes on the silent young nobleman.
A bald mercenary, in his mid-forties, with a scar on his face, stood up. The body is very strong, with a huge long-handled axe on his waist, and his eyes are like Tongling: "Lord Lord, we are all rough people. Just say it, what to do. ”
Mei Fei nodded: "Now in Bishui City, there are still forty knights. Two hundred newly recruited recruits, as well as the mercenary group here, a total of about five hundred. By saying that, you should already have an idea of the general situation. ”
The young man looked around again and saw that no one spoke, so he continued, "I need you, my knights, and the two hundred newly recruited soldiers in Blue Water City to repel the enemy. ”
The mercenaries were stunned.
The lord's words were to repel rather than hold on.
Absolutely not.
The mercenaries still know their own little bit. The Blackstone Wilderness is a dangerous place where monsters are wreaking havoc, and those monsters are not only extremely aggressive, but also usually have extraordinary combat power. And the Blackstone Fortress sits on the edge of the black wilderness, and from time to time it will be attacked by these bloodthirsty monsters.
As the soldiers of Blackstone Fortress who have been dealing with them for many years, it can almost be said that they are always fighting in fear and death, and the warriors cultivated in that environment are all elite, and they are by no means comparable to their half-mercenaries.
The knights outside the hall probably wouldn't have taken them seriously. But they were only forty men, and the Blackstone Fortress outside the city had twenty times as many soldiers.
Even if they are brave, it is obviously difficult for them to defeat so many soldiers.
