After the flood, the entire northwest region of the Herion Territory has become unrecognizable, and the entire land seems to have been brushed by a brush, except for the weeds and trees that still stand stubbornly, there is no life in this land. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The swollen corpses are collected and cremated, and these bodies are generally not claimed because their families and their fate are basically the same.

Gray didn't want to see what had become of the land, perhaps because he was already upset by the daily reports of the number of people who had died in the floods.

The Earl of Lockton seemed to know that Gray didn't want to stay in this land for long, so he ordered Gray to lead two brigades of vanguard troops to continue to advance westward!

It's July 8th.

It is now the third day after the flood, and Fort Gesen, south of the Harrens Territory, is the southern gateway to the Harrens Territory, and if you capture it, the entire Harrens Territory will be at your fingertips.

Gray led the vanguard of 2,000 cavalry to Gesenburg on the afternoon of July 8, and rushed to set up camp outside the city, and the spies had sent back the news that the defenders of Gesenburg were not many, less than 500, but the defense was complete.

In the event of a strong attack, Gray was confident that he would be able to take Fort Gesensen within three days, but Gray did not intend to attack it, he first ordered the construction of ten long-range trebuchets, and every once in a while he would rain a terrifying rain of stones into the castle to demoralize the enemy army.

Then, he asked Mark to personally lead 500 cavalry into five groups, and constantly patrol the area around Gersenburg day and night, and once he found anyone coming out of the castle, he immediately arrested and interrogated.

The first day passed quickly, Gray was not in a hurry at all, there were no reinforcements in Fort Gersen, even the total strength of Harrens City was now only 2,000, and Gray even organized some soldiers to hunt in the nearby jungle.

It is not so simple to recruit soldiers from scratch, the entire Harrens territory has a population of about 300,000, and the conscription in the previous period has hurt the roots, and the soldiers recruited now are at most farmers with weapons.

On 10 July, three infantry battalions arrived as follow-up troops, led by the Pula Knights, along with a large number of supplies.

The arrival of supplies gave Gray a sigh of relief, and if he didn't arrive, Gray would have to learn from Viscount Donner's troops to plunder the nearby villages, which was not a matter of short-sightedness, but of survival.

Guarding Guesenburg was a veteran named Sterrant, who was almost fifty years old, but he looked like he was seventy years old, and the folds around his eyes could drown his eyes, and his silver hair was no longer a trace of other color.

The lord of Gersenburg, with the disappearance of Viscount Donna in that great flood, could never be found again, and the young little lord hurriedly took over the territory, but he had only just turned ten this year, and he didn't even understand what was happening now.

"Am I going to die too?, like the soldiers who are desperate in the waters!" said Sir Sturt as he looked desperately at the growing number of soldiers outside the castle, his sweaty hands resting on the cold stones of the wall.

Sir Sturt was ready for a decisive battle, but the enemy did not seem to be in a hurry to attack, but continued to harass them with catapults every day, weakening the morale of the soldiers day by day.

The castle had been completely blockaded by enemy troops, and every day the messengers sent out would be pulled down at the camp gate and hanged in front of many of the soldiers defending the city.

"Goddess Shari, I have done my best, can't you show even the slightest miracle?" said Sir Sturt silently at the head of the city.

"Sir, the lord is calling you!" suddenly a soldier ran up to Sir Sturt.

On July 11, the third day of the siege, Gray felt that the time was ripe, and he ordered the troops to prepare for the siege!

However, just as Gray was preparing to finish, the gate of Gersenburg, which had been confined for several days, suddenly opened, and an old man slowly walked out holding a white flag.

When Gray saw this, his heart moved, and he asked Mark to lead a small group of cavalry forward to question. After a while, Mark returned, "They are ready to surrender on the condition that they do not harm the lives of anyone in the castle, including the little lord!"

"They're pretty picky!" Gray said coldly, taking off his helmet.

"And how do we get back to them?" asked Mark.

"Promise them that the victors should all show mercy!" Gray smiled.

Mark was very efficient, and in less than a magic hour, he negotiated an agreement with the officials of Geson Castle, and Gray read it carefully and immediately signed his name.

After signing the contract, the nobles of Gersenburg were driven out of the territory of Gersenburg by five squadrons of cavalry sent by Gray, and the castle was controlled by Gray before dark.

Gray wanted to leave Sir Sturt behind, but the old family still didn't appreciate it, and vowed to follow his lord, which was the best thing to do, Gray immediately asked the little lord to break the oath with Sturt, and the little lord's mother immediately responded in place of the little lord.

It was indeed a wise choice to keep Sir Ster, because he was very familiar with everything about Gersenburg, and he was also a man of great integrity, maintaining a sense of aristocratic honor, but the disadvantage was that he was too old-fashioned.

After the capture of Fort Gersenburg, Gray sent people to report the victory to the Earl of Lockton, and at the same time sent people to all the villages in the Gerson area to send a notice, first, to calm the people, and second, to let them know that it was the Earl of Lockton who now ruled them.

On July 15, the fourth day of Gray's capture of Fort Gerson, after everything was arranged and the logistics were in place, Gray left 500 soldiers to defend Fort Gersen, and the remaining 4,000 soldiers continued to advance in a northwesterly direction, and the troops advanced directly to the city of Harrens.

However, as the troops advanced to a distance of fifty miles from the city of Harrens, the scouts reported the presence of a large number of unidentified troops, at least five thousand men, in the south.

Gray was shocked by this news, and he quickly ordered his troops to stop advancing and set up camp on a hillside that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At the same time, the troops in the south actually chose a place to camp like Gray, and at the same time the other side also sent messengers to explain their intentions! It turned out that this force was the sworn enemy of the Donna family, the troops of the Viscount of Marne.

The current heir of the Marne family is Rudy Marn, who has been suppressed by the Donna family since the wealth of the Red Rain Forest was discovered by the goblins decades ago, and now that the opportunity for revenge has finally arrived, he naturally does not want to waste it.

Viscount Marne dispatched four brigades of infantry and one brigade of cavalry this time, and it seemed that he was preparing to share a little sweetness in the last piece of meat of Harus's collar.

Gray immediately reported the situation to the Earl of Lockton, who was hundreds of miles away, as quickly as possible, and then Gray ordered that no one should leave the barracks for any reason, except for soldiers on patrol.

When the two forces arrived, Harrens closed its gates and put on a rigid attitude.

Three days later, Gray waited for a new order from the Earl of Lockton!However, the new order was for Gray to return to the town of Mega immediately, and the front battle was temporarily managed by the Pla Knights!

Gray was stunned when he took the leader of the Earl of Lockton, and he read it several times in a row, but it was still the same content, and he thought to himself: something big must have happened!

The order must be carried out, and Gray immediately instructed Ruken to prepare, and then left the front line with his own squad of guards, and before leaving, Gray strictly ordered the Pula Knight not to attack until he received a definite order.
