Chapter 34: The Crisis (5)

"My information should be reliable, Your Excellency, Commander!" the deputy cautiously explained, "There are corresponding thieves' guilds in each castle, and the information they provide is usually very accurate. ”

"I don't really believe in the information that money can buy!" Fiona said angrily, "Didn't you say that the generals of Catherine's Second Legion often quarreled with Kendall? Now how could they have mixed up and attacked us again? If I had known that, I would not have defended so many castles! Each castle divided my 5,000 troops, ten of which is 50,000! Damn, now I only have half of the mobile force, because I thought I would only have to face one of them!"

"It's time for you to make a decision......

"A few thousand people will never be able to defend a castle, order all the troops to abandon the city decisively and quickly move closer to me! Since Kendal dares to come, let me have a good fight with him on the battlefield!"

"But in this way, the nobles who have sworn allegiance to us may turn against us and dedicate the castle to Kendall......"

"I can't care so much! I must concentrate all my strength! Who is truly loyal to us, and who is stepping on two boats, is the best time to see now! If they dare to take this opportunity to betray me, I will take care of them in the future!"

This is what Fiona learned from Names, the governor of Eli, and it seems to have worked well, and many nobles have taken refuge in him and become the lord of a city. He didn't want to face a lot of complicated official documents all day long, as a military attaché, he was thinking about how to fight.

Using these aristocratic forces, Fiona soon established puppet regimes in the various occupied territories, putting them in charge of local security and providing logistics for their own army. Of course, their loyalty was questionable, and for this he had to leave a small garrison in each castle.

Kendall was very pleased with the results. The warriors who had been repaired for a winter were so elite that they might have been suppressed for too long, and as soon as they entered the battlefield, they screamed and fought hard, and soon broke down Fiona's defenses. As for those castles, there was basically no decent resistance, and he had already arranged the internal response in the city, and even persuaded many nobles who were blown down on both sides.

When these castles were conquered, the main city of Fiona, Whiteslied, was exposed to the army like a peeled orange.

Now, he stood beneath the city of Whitesly, with his elite First Legion behind him, the blood-red Lion King banner fluttering in the wind.

"Fiona, get out of the castle!" Kendall shouted in a triumphant voice, "Let my sword taste the blood of your neck!"

"Are you stupid for me?" Fiona poked his head out from the walls, "I'll go out and fight you, so that Eldrid's Second Legion can take advantage of the opportunity to take my castle from the side?"

"Hey, don't talk about that girl, it's really a long and short insight! I finally negotiated with her to send troops together, but who knew that the words were heavy, and the girl cried and cried and led the soldiers back......"

"Kendall, you're also a famous hero, why don't you blush at all when you tell such a lie?"

"Fuck, believe it or not!" Kendall scolded, "If she were here, she would definitely quarrel again! Her regimental flag is a sky-blue lion flag, look at my back, is there a sky-blue flag?"

Is it true? Fiona looked behind Kendal suspiciously.

"Are you sure there are no enemies at the east and south gates?" said Fiona, glaring at the generals beside him.

"No!" replied the lieutenant, "I sent scouts to reconnoiter everywhere, and they reported that there was no enemy within fifty kilometers of the surrounding area!"

"Probe! Make sure you find out where Eldred's Second Corps is!"

"Fiona, have you thought about it?" Kendall's voice came from the city, "Are you a woman? As far as I know, many women have the courage to fight!"

"Ignore him! if he dares to come closer, shoot him with a bow and arrow!" Fiona was a little angry, but he hadn't lost his cool yet.

"If you don't dare to fight me, then I'll send someone to fight you!" he beckoned, and an old man with a gray beard ran over on foot.

"He's my groom, Fiona, and I hope you won't be afraid of the enemy with him!"

Kendall's soldiers burst into laughter.

The old man, wielding his sword, also began to shout at the wall: "Fiona, come out and let grandpa teach you a lesson!"

"Open the door, open the door!" Fiona exclaimed in anger, "What a deception! How dare he call a groom to humiliate me!"

"Your Excellency Commander......"

"Don't persuade me, I'll go out and fight alone! You just need to do what you have to do!"

The gates of the castle opened, and Fiona ran out in full force.

"Count you as a kind!" Kendall snorted, "Aren't you afraid that so many soldiers behind me will cover up and kill together?"

"If you still have the honor of being a warrior, let them all come!" Historians will write that Fiona alone faced all the armies of Erathia!"

"I won't fulfill your hero's name!" Kendall waved his hand, causing the soldiers to step back three arrows away.

Kendall jumped off his horse and walked towards Fiona. He wielded his sword and moved his muscles, listening to the sound of the wind slashing across the blade.

"Fiona, this is your last chance! Get out of my realm and never set foot in Erathia!"

"I hope your sword is as sharp as your words!" Fiona moved from side to side like a lion, slashing at Kendall from the side!

The two are finally fighting together!

"It's been a long time since I've had a good fight like this!" Kendall exclaimed, "The last time I fought in the arena was with the Chosen One last year!"

Although the words are being spoken, there is no idle hand at all.

"Looks like you've found a good son-in-law!" said Fiona scoffed. He is also admiring, this old man is the most powerful opponent he has ever encountered, and he is fully qualified to rely on the old and sell the old!

Unbeknownst to Fiona, Kendall, who was over half a hundred years old, spent hours of his time practicing physical and martial arts every day, without interruption for decades!

Fiona's words hit Kendall in the sore spot. Kendall was furious and launched a swift attack!

Kendall did not deceive Fiona, and Eldrid's 2nd Corps did not take part in the siege, but ambushed the rear flank of Whiteslied, where there was a howling valley, an excellent place for ambush. If Fiona had been chased away by Kendall, he would have passed through here and then he would have been encircled.

The dense forests on both sides of the valley concealed her army of tens of thousands. If Fiona passed, his army would be wrapped up like a pie in the valley and immobilized, and the fate that awaited them would be slaughtered!

Truth be told, Kendall is a very good commander. In the art of war, siege warfare is generally to besiege three and one, to avoid consuming too many troops in the difficult and cruel siege war, and the purpose of the one is to mobilize the enemy out of the city, so as to annihilate the enemy in the field. And Kendall is surrounded by two and two, I'm afraid it's a pioneering feat!

Of course, this direction was not for Fiona to escape, and there was also an ambush of Erathia's 3rd Corps!!

The young hero Adela is no longer a guerrilla unit that only attacks the flanks of the locality! His army is constantly fighting, and many retired veterans and young people have turned to him to protect their homeland, and the number has grown from thousands to nearly 50,000!

In fact, Adela had already obtained a letter of appointment from Queen Saiya, officially appointing him as commander of the Third Corps, but the appointment was not announced for the sake of strategic deception.

His army was ambushed in the other direction of Whitesly. The 2nd and 3rd Corps each drew an elite regiment to form a blocking force and was tasked with annihilating the enemy forces rushing to the aid of Whiteslied.

This is Kendall's carefully prepared spring offensive, encircling two and two, sending reinforcements at fixed points, and annihilating the enemy in the movement!

Kendall, who had nearly 150,000 troops in his hands, withstood the strong pressure of Queen Saiya and Queen Mother. He firmly believes that splitting his fingers can only swell a person's face, and that clenching his fingers into a fist can break the bones of an enemy!

Saiya and the Queen Mother had no choice but to hope that he would defeat Fiona as he wished, solve the danger in the south, and then quickly turn around and head north to meet the army of the undead.

As for Sandru of the East, oh my God, bless Catherine and Roland!

Fiona had been exhausted by Kendall's blows, and the sweat behind her back had gathered into a trickle along her spine.

He took the time to perform an attack spell. But what he didn't expect was that his attack magic was actually ineffective against Kendall!

"Don't try to use magic!Lao Tzu is immune to magic!" Kendall continued to attack, "Magic and witchcraft, that's for women, I hope you're still a man!"

Stop fighting, run away! Fiona makes a few moves, pulls his legs and runs!

This was a surprise to Kendall. As soon as he was stunned, Fiona had already run out about ten meters away. He chased a few steps, but now his feet were as heavy as lead.

He has always insisted desperately with the belief that he will win, and for this he has exhausted most of his physical strength.

Running is not his forte, let alone having a big belly. It's a pity that in order to facilitate hand-to-hand combat, long-range bows and arrows were not carried with them, but hung on the saddle. He kept picking up rocks and smashing them at Fiona's back.

"What are you running for?!Fiona, are you a coward?, and you're still a famous hero!"

Fiona didn't have time to answer him. The whizzing stones around him were enough to worry him!As the castle gate got closer and closer, Fiona was hit in the back by a whistling stone and immediately fell to the ground!

"Quick, bring him back!" shouted the demonic heroes on the city walls!

Dozens of whip-wielding god kings rushed out of the castle and carried Fiona back with all their hands and feet.

Countless fireballs and bows and arrows on the walls held back Kendall's pursuit.

As soon as he entered the city gates, Fiona vomited a mouthful of blood!

The generals undo Fiona's armor. Fortunately, there was only a large bruise, and the bones were not deformed.

It didn't appear to be broken, and the tough armor removed most of the stone's strength.

"Damn, this old man can really fight!" Fiona wiped the blood from his mouth and shouted hatefully, "Erathia is stronger than fighting on the ground, close the door, no one is allowed to go out!"
