The closest castle to the city of stone weirs is Girda. When Gabriel and his party reached the outside of the city, the bells in the castle began to ring.

Any battle-hardened veteran knows that such a hurried bell rings only when it encounters a strong enemy.

"They regard us as enemies!" said the captain of the Hart Legion cavalry, who accompanied them, shook his head.

Sure enough, as soon as the bells rang, the castle gate was immediately closed, and the drawbridge over the moat was pulled up. Torches were lit on the walls, and countless archers ran into firing positions.

"You are waiting here, and I will tell them who we are and what we are doing!" said Gabriel, who rode his horse to the city.

On the way to the national debt, Gabriel and they had already done their homework. They studied the castles and topography of Erathia to pick out what they thought was the best course of action, and they also studied the personal preferences of each lord and the glorious history of the family...... He knew that the lord of Gyrda Castle was Kendall's son-in-law, Count Alexander, the guardian of Standwick Castle. When Princess Catherine approached Standwick Castle, her supporters of Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine in the city mutinied and disarmed Alexander and his personal guards. Alexanda had no choice but to leave Standwick and return to his family's domain. Fortunately, at that time, in order to maintain his dominance, Kendall was busy preparing for a big battle with Princess Catherine, and he had no time to care about him, so he fled back to the far north. After Princess Sea ascended the throne, the world granted amnesty, Alexander's dereliction of duty was raised, the death penalty was pardoned, and the title was reduced from duke to earl.

When Count Alexander and his party were allowed to leave Standwick Castle, Gabriel seemed to have seen him, though only at a cursory glance.

With a thud, a bow and arrow landed at his feet. Gabriel knew that this was a warning to stop his advance, so he stopped.

"That knight under the city, what are you doing in Jierda, report it truthfully immediately, or don't blame us for shooting you into a hedgehog!"

How can I report it? Say that I am the noble Chosen One, the personal guard of the Prince Regent of Erathia? Such an aura is no longer honorable, and now there is no one in Erathia who does not hate Brother Guzi, and if he says it, he is afraid that he will really be shot into a hedgehog!

"We are the cavalry of the Hart Legion under the command of Princess Catherine of the Second Legion, and we have been ordered by Her Majesty Queen Saia to conquer the city of Shiyan!" Gabriel shouted to the castle tower, "Please Count Alexander come out and speak!"

"I'm not here, I'm not here, you're where you should go!" Alexander, pointing to the far north.

It seems that Alexander did not know his identity yet, and Gabriel was relieved. He shouted, "We're coming from that side!" The city of Stone Weir is fighting, and Commander Leo has ordered us to come and ask for help!"

"I don't have any soldiers to help you! if you really need help, then go to Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, the commander of the Second Corps!"

It seems that the Earl still remembers the hatred of the original seizure of the city.

"We don't need you to send troops, we're just here to procure supplies...... We will pay for all supplies in cash!"

"In that case, why are you bringing so many cavalry here, these cavalry are enough to capture a castle!"

"You know, there are hundreds of ghost dragons hovering in the northern skies right now! If they dare to come down, we'll do it hard!"

What to do? The guards all looked at the Lord of Alexandria.

"I know these people!" Alexander muttered, "The Hart Legion was ordered by Her Majesty the Queen to escort the guards of the Chosen One to various parts of Erathia to collect the national debt, but due to the urgent military situation, the mission was temporarily interrupted and the starry night galloped to the city of Shiyan, and the scouts reported that they had only passed the edge of my territory a few days ago. ”

"Shall we open the door?"

"Wait, I have to ask!" Alexander said to the city, "I know you, you are the personal guard of the Chosen One!, Why, the Chosen One surrendered to the camp of the undead and became a shameful traitor, and you want to deceive me into offering him my castle as a sign of loyalty?!"

The soldiers immediately became nervous.

They weren't the only ones who were nervous! Gabriel's back was already sweating in the face of thousands of arrows that shimmered with cold light.

"You are wrong, he did not surrender to the Grim Reaper, but was only temporarily bewitched by the Grim Reaper! Her Majesty Queen Saiya's order to us is to do our best to save him, and if he refuses to repent, we will not hesitate to fight him!"

A woman of great beauty appeared at the head of the city. She was Alexander's wife and the sister of Queen Saiya.

"Alexander, we must open the door!" the countess whispered, "Uncle Leo is fighting a bloody battle, we must help him!"

"I know, my dear!" Alexander reassured her, "I'm just trying to make it clear." He exclaimed, "You can send two hundred knights into the city to procure what you need!

Gabriel returned to the ranks and assigned the front army to begin the march into the city.

"Call their commander to come to me at the residence!" Alexander commanded his men.

The only one who came to the residence was Gabriel. Lucifer and the cavalry captain, led by Ressa, are bargaining desperately with the vendors in the market.

Watching Resa arguing with people piece by piece of copper and silver, Lucifer and the cavalry captain wanted to die. They never bargain with people when they buy things, and they take things and leave immediately after paying.

It seems that Renesas has managed to negotiate another deal, and his face is happy.

"I mean, Renesa, can you hurry up, you've been grinding with them for so long, but you've only saved a few gold coins!" Lucifer whispered his displeasure.

"You're stupid, if you don't bargain with them, they'll shout the price sky-high, waiting for you to be the wrongdoer!" Renesa glared, "After you buy their things, they'll still call you stupid! I have to sell the most things with the least amount of money, so that can show my ability!"

"Okay, you go ahead and show your abilities, Queen Saiya will make you her Chancellor of the Exchequer when you go back, and the captain and I will wait for you at the tavern!"

"You dare!" said Ressa, with his hands on his hips, "Honestly follow me and get me something!"

"You're being unreasonable!" Lucifer protested. He was glad that his girlfriend was Jasmine, not the woman in front of him. He had begun to sympathize with his brother Gabriel, and alas, my dear brother, if you marry this woman, you will live in misery for the rest of your life!

When Ressa shoved a piece of gold coin into the hand of an old beggar in ragged clothes on the side of the road, Lucifer and the cavalry captain were dumbfounded!

Comparatively speaking, Gabriel's treatment was much better, and at least he could sit in the living room for a while, instead of standing on his legs.

"Countess!" said Gabriel, at last, seeing the man he had met.

Alexander nodded slightly, but the Countess held out her hand to the handsome young man.

After following Brother Gu Zi in the court for so long, Gabriel also learned court etiquette. He respectfully lifted the countess's hand and kissed her finger lightly: "It is my honor to meet you, you are as beautiful as Her Majesty!"

"Yes, you can really talk! I thought soldiers would only fight, and not flatter women!" said the countess.

"He's the personal guard of the Chosen One!" I saw him standing behind him at Standwick Castle, and they were on their toes!" Alexander snorted.

"Fortunately, Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine and Queen Saiya have enough wisdom to nip a civil war in the bud, and of course, the Chosen One has also made sacrifices......"

"You don't need to defend the beetle, he's become an enemy of the people of Erathia, I want you to see that!"

"I remember the oath I made when I got the spark and became a hero! But if we have the slightest chance, we will do our best to save him! His superior wisdom and great strength will be our deadly weapon against our enemies!"

"I hope he will be able to get lost!" Alexander sighed, "you are a guest from afar, and the specialty of Gilda is brandy, let's have a drink together, and tell me about the current form of the city of stone weirs!"

Brandy is just as good as tequila. After only a few drinks, Gabriel became excited and opened up the conversation endlessly.

Compared to Lucifer, Gabriel was more talkative and likable. Lucifer was a grim look, as if he was ready to fight at any moment.

One of the guards hurried into the hall and whispered a few words in Alexander's ear.

"Let them buy enough!" Alexander nodded.

The Countess looked at her husband inquiringly.

"The armory and armor shops in the castle have been looted by them! All the cloth and cotton in the castle have been bought by them!"

"And all the food stocks of the food suppliers!" the guard added, "I guess there might be someone in the castle hungry tonight!"

Gabriel's face was a little red: "Lord Earl, you must know that these things are currently what Shiyan Castle needs the most!"

Another guard rushed in, leaning over and whispering in the earl's ear.

"Oh my God, how many gold coins did you bring with you to buy supplies, and all the drugstores in the city have been looted by you!" cried Count Alexander.

"About 800,000 gold coins!" Gabriel scratched his head.

"No, I've got to stop you! you've got to leave me some, please don't forget, this is the second line of defense against the army of the undead!"

"But...... If we defeat the army of the undead, you won't have to fight the undead, and your realm will still enjoy peace!"

"I think I'm crazy! If I knew you would do this, I would never have allowed you to enter the city!" Alexander had a headache: "These things are necessary to keep the castle running normally in peacetime, but they are strictly controlled in wartime!

"You'll definitely have more options than we do! The longer Commander Leo defends the city of Stoneweir, the more time you'll have to prepare for war!"

"Alexander, send someone to the nearby castle to buy, this is our attitude of supporting the front line with practical actions, we must become a strong backing of the city of stoneweirs!" the countess suggested.

"Alright!" Alexander sighed, "Tell the quartermaster that the supplies that are lacking in the market can be temporarily replenished from the war materials, and then quickly send people to various places to procure!"

The guards took the order and left.

"Lord Earl, you might as well consider sending troops directly to the siege of Shiyan City! With the strength of Commander Leo, Captain Hart, and you, you will definitely be able to wipe out the army of the undead under the city of Shiyan!"

"I admire your bravery!" Alexander said, "but you should know that the city of Stone Weir is sandwiched in a canyon, it is inconvenient for the army to deploy, and the terrain is very unfavorable for group combat! It is already crowded enough, and a stone shot by a trebuchet may even kill a bunch of people! I should organize a second line of defense here!"

"In that case, can you give me some more military supplies, such as fuel, bows and arrows, etc., which are not available on the market on a large scale, and of course, I will exchange them with the equivalent of gold coins!"

Facing Gabriel's and the countess's pleading eyes, Alexander sighed, "Well, I'll give you half of the supplies!

Looking at the Hart cavalry escorting hundreds of carts full of loads, the countess who watched from the city wall had a satisfied smile on her face.

"We can't put all our hopes in Uncle Leo!" Alexander whispered, "In my opinion, the city of stone weirs cannot stop the army of the undead, at most it can only delay their movements!"

"I don't understand! There are now 60,000 troops in the city of Stoneweir, and they have been replenished with supplies!" the countess's eyes widened in surprise.

"Fighting a war does not simply rely on the bravery of the soldiers, but also has to fight for logistics and comprehensive strength! From the fact that they are in such a hurry to purchase materials, I can conclude that the city of Shiyan has been almost consumed, and how long can these materials be supported by them?"

"What about the undead, don't they need supplies?"

"At least they don't need food, they don't need anything to keep them warm! All they need is an iron sword, even if it's rusty...... They're powerful weapons in their own right!"

"Oh my God, do you mean we're going to be the front line here?" exclaimed the countess.

"Yes, that's sooner or later!

"No, I'll have to write to my sister and ask her to send all the soldiers!" said the countess nervously.

"It seems that she has no soldiers to send, otherwise she would not have sent only one legion!" Alexander said with a determined glint in his eyes: "I have already been defeated once in Standwick, but I must not be defeated a second time!
