Chapter 16: Back to the City

Da Da .......

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, breaking the atmosphere of the otherwise silent night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Looking down from the air, under the pale white moonlight, you can clearly see two figures galloping on horseback, galloping above the flat ground at a great speed.

"Aaron, how do you know that the castle is okay, and if the castle is being attacked now, won't we run over and fall into the trap?"

Bruce asked Aaron quizzically as he galloped his horse.

Aaron didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Bruce, what do you think is the main purpose of Earl Bell rebelling against George and these people this time and suddenly attacking us?"

Bruce was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "In order to occupy these village strongholds, it is convenient to use them as the next resting strongholds of the combined army, and they can invade the territory of the Chino Kingdom faster." ā€

"No!"

Aaron shook his head and explained, "If it's just for the village, they don't need to use this method, they can use the army to slowly press the border, let the soldiers on the other frontiers notice and report the news, and force Viscount Steve to withdraw our garrison soldiers, all concentrated in the castle and wait to meet them." In this way, Count Bell can easily get all the village strongholds in Viscount Steve's land, except for the castle!"

"But they didn't do it because they were not just targeting the village, but more importantly ........"

Speaking of this, Aaron's eyes began to narrow, and he spat word by word: "Kill all of us living forces!"

Bruce seemed to have an understanding, and suddenly said, "Could it be .......?"

Aaron nodded, and affirmed, "What is the most useful force to defend the castle? Could it be those farmers who are so thin that they can only wield hoes? Such a person, if they were to fight on flat ground, a team of twenty regular soldiers could kill hundreds!"

"Therefore, the main force guarding the castle is our soldiers - these regular soldiers who have enough food every day and have been trained in breathing methods are the most important force to defend the city!"

"Every week, Viscount Steve sends at least half of his soldiers to the villages to supervise them, and this is Earl Bell's best chance to eliminate these soldiers!"

"Obviously, Count Bell's goal is not just to eat the villages, but to eat the entire territory, including the castle, just as the Kalas Empire wants to eat the entire kingdom of Chino alive. In this way, the main goal is to try to destroy the living forces of us who will defend the city in the future, so that we can swallow the entire castle in the future, and those villages have become secondary targets!"

After listening to Aaron's reasoning, Bruce realized: "I see, so you will say that the castle should be fine, because Count Bell will definitely not have too many rebels, and it will take a few days for the army to arrive, and these traitors alone will definitely not be able to directly attack the Viscount Castle, including the Viscount, where the three official knights are located!"

"That's why they chose to launch the traitors stationed in the village first, cooperate with some small-scale scout troops who came over the mountains and mountains in advance, and eat the regular soldiers stationed outside!"

"That's right~!"

Aaron nodded and said in a deep voice: "So we have to rush back to the castle as soon as possible, if it's late, I'm afraid we won't even be able to go back to the castle!"

Fortunately, the village where Aaron and the others were stationed was the closest village to the castle except for Duolong Town, which was only a dozen kilometers away, and at the current speed of galloping at full speed, it would take half an hour at most to return to the castle.

By the light of the moon, Bruce looked at the slightly emaciated back in front of him, although Bruce was already in his early twenties, and Aaron was less than fifteen years old, but Bruce did not dare to have a trace of contempt in his heart, and thoughts flew in his mind:

"Obviously a young man so much younger than me, but he has reached the strength of a quasi-knight, and what is even more terrifying is that he seems to be acting exaggeratedly, but in fact he is mature and steady - before, he deliberately applauded to show his identity and intervened in the battle between us and George, but did not choose to raid suddenly, just to relax the vigilance of George and others. ā€

"If there is a surprise attack, George and the others will inevitably be collectively frightened, and choose to besiege me or Aaron together while maintaining vigilance! However, when Aaron applauded and revealed his identity, because George saw Aaron's appearance clearly and recognized the identity of this 'waste' - in this way, George would only treat Aaron as a 'fool' with a burned brain, so he lowered his vigilance, and only sent two soldiers to deal with Aaron, and put more of his mind on the injured me, and was finally killed by Aaron!"

"It was really a matter of judging the situation and being cautious, including his later judgment of the whole situation, and clearly deduced the main purpose of Count Bell, and even I did not see the key points........."

"It's terrible, it's terrible~!"

Bruce looked at Aaron's slightly undulating figure on horseback, and said with a certain mind: "This son is young but deep in the city, and his mind is as meticulous as silk, in time, he will be able to achieve great things! I must not provoke him again........"

Aaron didn't know what Bruce was thinking, and was galloping on his horse, when suddenly, Bruce's exclamation sounded - "Aaron, look over there!"

Aaron looked in the direction Bruce pointed, but saw a faint flash of fire in the distant sky on the east side, like a small town, as if it was in the midst of war.........

"It's ...... The town of Dolon?"

Rao was calmed by Aaron, and he couldn't help but lose his voice slightly.

"Yes, it should be the town of Dolon!" Bruce affirmed, a town he often wanted to be stationed in, and certainly not unfamiliar.

Aaron's heart was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that Count Bell has a lot of handwriting......."

Aside from seven villages of various sizes, the town of Doron is the only place in the viscounty's realm that can be called a 'town', with a permanent population of more than 2,000 alone, accounting for nearly half of the entire territory's population. In terms of numbers alone, there are more inhabitants than the Viscount's castle - after all, one is a castle, and the other is a small town.

Therefore, there are at least two brigades in Dolong Town, with a total of sixty soldiers stationed, including two captains who are at least at the level of quasi-knights - quasi-knights with dozens of soldiers' subordinates to help them, and their strength is much higher than that of a single quasi-knight, and they will not be as embarrassed as Bruce before.

To eat the entire town of Dolong, at least a full-fledged knight with dozens of soldiers would have to raid together, so that there was a certain possibility..........

Bruce glanced at Aaron and asked in a condensed voice, "Aaron, should we ........?"

"No, we'll go straight back to the castle. ā€

Aaron said calmly: "If the two brigades can't hold the town of Dolon, it will be in vain for us to go, and it is the most important thing to return to the castle as soon as possible to report the news." ā€

"Hmm~!" Bruce nodded, agreeing with Aaron's decision without a hint of hesitation.

In fact, both of them know this very well, the existence of two quasi-knight-level, even if one of them is not lightly injured, if they rush over in time, as long as the garrison in Duolong Town does not lose too much, there may not be no chance to 'turn the tables' - combined with the other two quasi-knight-level captains, a total of four quasi-knights are besieged, even if it is a formal knight, there may not be no chance to force back!

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to kill, after all, the gap between the official knight and the quasi-knight is too big, and even if the official knight can be forced back, Aaron and the others themselves will definitely have to pay a heavy price, and even give up their lives.

So Aaron and Bruce wisely chose to ignore it, and retreat to the castle first, as for the specific life or death of the garrison in Doron Town-

What does it have to do with yourself?

Soon, the two of them rushed back to the Viscount's Castle at night.

Looking at the tall and majestic Viscount Castle in front of him, Aaron breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally back. ā€
