"It was really a constructive meeting, Mr. Mu. After both sides signed the agreement, Jemohar relaxed, smiled and said, "May you come to my ball tonight?" ”

Mu Hehe smiled, "It's still free, my princess is still waiting for me." ”

Jemohar also showed a knowing smile, "Then I won't force you to stay, I wish you a smooth journey, Mr. Mu." ”

"Have a nice evening, too. ”

Coming out of the castle of Djerkhara, Mu stretched his waist greatly, "Ah, Jemohar is really not easy to deal with, it is really treacherous. ”

"But you still squeezed a lot of oil out of him, didn't you?" said Jamila.

"There is no doubt that he will give assistance. Mu took out the aid agreement he had just signed from his pocket and admired it under the sun, "In his opinion, this matter is not harmful to Rhodoc Baili. If we succeed, they will gain a Swadia leader who is more friendly to Rhodok, and even if we fail, we will greatly weaken Haraus, tsk, how shrewd. ”

"Oh, yes. Mu suddenly remembered something, "In the past few days when the aid materials have not yet arrived, contact Jin Ci'er and ask him to pay more attention to Rhodok's farm." ”

"Do you think they're really hiding something good?"

"Of course, the queen is just ignorant of the world, and she is not a fool, and she can always divide the grain and spices. ”

"You... Are you sure?" Jamila hesitated.

At this time, Mu also hesitated, thought about what she said, and couldn't help but beat the drum in her heart, "Well, it doesn't take much trouble anyway, let's observe first." Haraus never imagined that he would be the one who was trapped in the city in the end. The battle went very smoothly at first, but the damned Nords eventually sold themselves, not only did they not protect their ships, but they also cooperated in robbery! Rhodok's fleet could not satisfy their appetites, and they did not even let go of the fleet that transported supplies—until now, Harauth still believed that the hapless "Fangs" tribe had betrayed him, which caused him to be unable to continue the attack after defeating Aaron, and finally had to stick to this place, hoping that Harongoth would break through to Viruga as soon as possible and come to rescue him. What's worse is that just when the sea was in chaos, Graves also brought the main force of Rhodoc's Southern Army to the city, surrounding the coastal city, and his troops had no way to escape.

Of course, as the planner, this kind of encirclement was naturally considered. According to the previous plan, at this time, he should take advantage of the height difference between Aaron and the nearby plains, flexibly use his knights, fiercely cut through the enemy's formation, and then take advantage of the scattered formation of the Rhodoks to have a hearty Armageddon. However, what Harongoth was worried about at the beginning happened, without the more than forty knights led by Count Claes, Harlaus's breakthrough force was too weak to cut through Graves's thick line, and the conventional forces were only unloaded less than seventy percent, and the others were drowned in the sea. After the knights' charge and the infantry's assault failed, Haraus had to change his plan and retreat into the walls with his army, holding on to the danger while waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Graves knew the situation in Viruga, so he wasn't worried at all, and surrounded Aaron layer by layer, and didn't attack, just defended. He knew that the city's supplies had been destroyed before retreating, and that Harlaus in the besieged city would no longer be able to send troops to plunder the surrounding villages, so that Aaron would not be able to attack when they ran out of supplies. Best of all, Aaron was on a high part of the sea, and although it was not as steep as Uxhall, it was still easy to defend and difficult to attack, because there was only a wide gentle slope that could be used by large troops to access the high ground. This was a huge advantage for the defenders, and Haraus had intended to use the gentle slope to launch a surprise attack, but now it made Graves laugh, which meant that his forces did not need to be spread too far apart, and he could form a denser formation to prevent the cavalry from breaking through, and the Rhodok plan proved to be successful.

Hammos, a levy from Vader, was the son of an ordinary peasant family before he became a levy, and his young heart was filled with glory and merit, and he couldn't think of anything else. It was as if he had seen himself dressed in fine armor and riding a majestic war horse, strutting through the streets of Suno and enjoying the cheers of the people. So, despite the opposition of his parents, he resolutely signed up for the army.

However, everything was not as he imagined, and instead of being chosen by a knight as rumored, he began an extraordinary life, as was rumored, but instead he was stuffed with a half-new red robe and a slightly rusty spear, and under the leadership of a little old man with a mottled beard and hair, he set sail to an unknown land. By the way, this little old man is the squad leader of Hammers.

He was one of the last of Harlaus's men to land, and he cursed his luck because he was the last hapless man to take part in the siege. And now, if the legendary goddess of luck appeared in front of him, he would definitely hug her and kiss her, even if she looked like a flower. Because, the "lucky ones" who remained on the ship as a reserve were attacked by the Nords, some of them were fed to the fish, and the other part had to go with the flow, and finally they did not know where they became. And he, at least for now, can still stand on the city wall and blow the wind.

He staggered forward with the spear in his hand on the ground like a cane. It wasn't because he was wounded while defending the city, but because of the long-lasting roar that ran through his abdomen. Since the supply line was cut off, in order to be able to support it for a longer time, Haraus reduced the ration of the troops, starting from the lowest level of levies, the rations received by the soldiers gradually decreased, and now the knights can only eat half full, what honor, merit, no one cares anymore, how to see the sun tomorrow is the issue that everyone here is concerned about now.

"Hey, little ghost. Hammer looked around and saw that all around him were older than him, so he turned around and saw his captain behind him, the little old man.

Seriously, Hammers thinks this old man is really a bunker. Half of their squad of ten people died during the siege, two more were killed by desperate enemies when they occupied the castle, and even the remaining one was pierced by Rhodok snipers who were ambushed outside the city when they were patrolling the city, and now, their squad was only left with himself and the old man, and Hammerston felt very insecure.

"Hey, little ghost!" the old man was very dissatisfied when he saw that it took Hammer so long to respond to his call, "be smart, if you were on the battlefield, you would have died a few times!" said him, throwing him something, "Here, today's meal." ”

Hammers stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and suddenly let out a miserable scream, "Pain, pain, damn it, what is this?"

"Well, bread. ”

"Bread?" Hammer made a look of teasing me, and knocked the half-round thing in his hand on the battlements, making a heavy muffled sound, "You call this bread?"

"In this situation, it's good to have something to eat. The old man patted his ass and sat down in a leeward place, and Hammers immediately sat down with him.

"What I like the most is your kid, although the porcelain is a little stupid, but you can always keep up with my rhythm. With a snap, the little old man broke the bread in his hand in half. The sound reminded Hammer of when he was a child, when he sneaked into the neighbor's orchard to steal fruit, and the same sound when the branch he was riding broke off.

"I don't want to follow your rhythm," Hammer looked at the little old man's lewd appearance, unconvinced, and broke his bread, and stuffed it into his mouth little by little, "If I'm like you, I'm still just a squad leader at my age, I'll just die." ”

"Oh, which family are you from?"

"I'm a farmer!"

"Hmph, then you'd better die," the little old man rolled his eyes, "Do you know that I have been a soldier for more than 30 years, and I have seen a few peasants who finally became nobles?"

"How many?" said Hammer.

"Guess?"

"Uh-huh, ten?"

The little old man shook his head.

"Six?"

The little old man shook his head.

"Three, three, there's always three!"

The little old man still shook his head.

"That... One?"

"Let me tell you," the little old man sighed, "not a single one. ”

"How is that possible!"

"That's just the way it is. The old man tore the bread and continued, "For more than thirty years, there has not been one. There were indeed some outstanding men among them, but all of them challenged the almost impossible task for the sake of that hellish title, and in the end, none of them returned. ”

"Not necessarily. Hammer said disapprovingly, "I'm much stronger than those nobles, and I'll get ahead one day!"

"Oh?" said the little old man laughed, "who do you think you are better than, Count Craggs or Count Te Sweden?" ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, thought for a long time, and then blushed and said, "At least... At least the youngest son of Baron Kronin, I can fight three at a time!"

The little old man laughed for a while, and continued to ask, "That little son of the Ke Lening family is standing in front of you, do you dare to beat him?"

"Damn, you're crazy!" Hammers exclaimed, "Dashing the nobles is to be beheaded!"

"So," said the little old man, shrugging his shoulders indifferently, "what do you have to prove that you are better than him?"

"Uh... Hammer said.

"So, we hillbillies don't have a chance, so you might as well nibble on your bread honestly!" the old man patted Hammers on the shoulder comfortingly, "Besides, they added oak chips to the bread today, and it smelled good." ”

"Damn, you can eat this?"

"Of course," the little old man grinned, "as long as you can keep up with me, you will be able to eat it one day." ”

Hammers suddenly felt that his future was bleak.

On the other side of the battlefield, I mean at Fort Kerrydan, Earl Reis, who had been stolen by "his own people", had to attack Fort Kerrydan with all his might, and the Kugit who occupied the castle soon exposed their weaknesses in attacking and defending. In particular, the light bows and short bows they used for mounted archery were not much more effective than the crossbows in the hands of the Ryrdians, but because of their low armor, they suffered heavy losses when fighting the Swadian archers. Seeing this, Nayan Yimizha did not force it, leaving a part of the old and weak and sick to be disabled, and the main force quickly disappeared into the vast plain with him. He knew that Saiga Khan would help him get his revenge.

As for Count Reyce, he was in a much better position than his king. The Kugit occupied this place and wanted a stronghold that could be used as a bridgehead, so the city defense facilities were relatively intact, and later because of the garrison, the city also stocked some food. Although Nayan Yimizha did set a fire to destroy these supplies before leaving, the soldiers left behind were too scumbag, and the city was broken after not holding on for long, so the Earl rescued a lot of supplies and came back. It's just that when he thinks of the next thing, he is a little confused.

Where will he and Svadia end up?

When Mu was about to enter Uxhall from the dark passage of Ye Ruige with various supplies, he happened to meet the one-eyed dragon who had returned from the team. The seemingly scattered cavalry was followed by a long line of captives, conspicuously walking through the streets of the village.

"Yo, long time no see" Mu stepped forward to say hello, poked his head out to look at the captive behind the one-eyed dragon, and said with a smile, "Going to do a side hustle again?"

"How can you. The one-eyed dragon stopped his horse in front of Mu, waved his whip and pointed at the captives behind him, complaining, "I had caught so many... Well, what's it called, oh, herald, I thought I could sell it for a good price, but my brother who came back from the city the day before yesterday told me that the princess you brought back ordered the streets of the city to be swept away, and all the slave traders were driven out. I heard that we had caught quite a few people, and we had ordered that no prisoners should be tortured and killed, and that all of them had to be brought back. No, there's no need to intercept it now, just bring it all back. I don't know what that wants to do. ”

"Eighty percent of them are chivalrous attacks. Mu shrugged, "However, for your future titles, these are all minor problems. ”

"Isn't it," the cyclops sniffled, "but it's better to do it with you." ”

"Haha, I love to hear that. Looking at the team passing by in front of him, there were some embarrassed people on the outside, Mu frowned slightly, "It seems that you guys are not easy to fight here." ”

"But isn't it," the one-eyed dragon immediately began to pour bitter water when he heard this, "But isn't it, we received the task of intercepting that herald, I and my brothers combined, and found that it was impossible to run out from the main gate, so we quietly took a detour, spent some effort to occupy Ye Ruige, and then sent my brothers to ambush at the secret passage, one by one!"

"Oh, isn't that nice?"

"Good P," the one-eyed dragon spat indignantly, and said angrily, "One night, a large group of heavily armed soldiers rushed out of the mouth, and all the brothers who were in ambush were poisoned. At that time, the night was dark and windy, and the brothers in the back did not react, and they broke through the blockade. As he spoke, he picked up the whip again and tapped it twice among the captives behind him, "Well, those are the ones that my brothers and I spend most of our time playing hide and seek with them." ”

Mu looked at the horsewhip and saw that the captives were wearing armor under their tattered robes, even if they were tied in a string, they were unwilling to bend down their straight waists, it seemed that they were always people with some status, maybe Aisona was willing to exchange them for some ransom.

The Uxhall tunnel is cleverly designed to combine the man-dug tunnels with the caves inside the mountains, saving time and allowing the system to be accessible. Perhaps, in order to prevent the cave from being exploited by the enemy, the designers at the time arranged only one entrance to the basement of the inner city, and this entrance would undoubtedly be heavily guarded. In fact, when Mu and the one-eyed dragon came out of the dark passage, they were strictly inspected by the "Blood Edge" mercenaries, and there was also a knight among the people who checked it.

"Then, I'll go find the future Queen Majesty first," Mu raised his hand and said goodbye to the one-eyed dragon, "Looking for a chance to treat you to a drink." ”

"Haha, that's a good idea. ”
