The way down the mountain to the camp was more difficult than expected, especially on the horse, especially when the people on the horse were absent-minded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For the Dalton children, who have always longed for honor and victory, Horn prays for good news and at the same time very contradictory prayers for defeat. If this battle is lost, it means that history has changed, it has been changed by his arrival, but the truth is that no one can change history, they still won, and they took the city of Shotoku as they wished, followed by Karta, and then ...... He didn't dare to think any further, so he closed his eyes and let the horse continue along the steep path down the mountain.

The hinges rolled, and the longboard suspension bridge was slowly lowered. Horn sat in the saddle and entered the city with the rest of the group. They walked through the arches and walls, from the sun into the shadows, and back into the daylight. Everywhere they passed, the bluestone ground was drinking blood, the Union soldiers were carrying piles of corpses onto carts, the streets were littered with remnants and corpses, and countless pairs of terrified eyes were staring at them in the windows along the streets.

"The defender of the city is a young man named Barr, a close confidant of Ryan, a new nobleman. Mike rode to the side, gushing to Horn as he explained.

He listened to the siege of the city last night, and it was not until he rode to a square that he saw the young man named Baal. In the crowd, he had a puff of red hair, a fiery red beard, his breastplate was full of dents and scratches from the war, his gray cloak stained with smoke and blood, and he was surrounded by generals stationed in the city of Shots, surrounded by the Confederate army and the Duke of Jaime, who was responsible for their execution.

"The lord has ordered them all to be put to death, and he seems unwilling to have much contact with Ryan, and Karta may also resort to a strong attack. Mike said wryly, not as if he was not very happy with the decision.

"And what about them?" Horn pointed to the kneeling women in the crowd.

"They were all the wives and children of the enemy generals, and they were all put to death. Mike shrugged.

Horn looked at a young girl with waterfall brown hair in the crowd. She had deep blue eyes, lips that seemed to be meant to smile, but she couldn't smile now. She looked exhausted, as if she had been emaciated from the stress of the previous night, with a bandage on her neck, soaked in blood and mud, and at this moment, she was kneeling in the crowd and shivering, her eyes full of helplessness and hesitation.

He didn't know whose daughter she was, or if she was married, but when he saw her, he thought of Sulla, or Shelley. "Deliver my order, release all the women, put them in the custody of the prison, and interrogate them one by one to identify them, and then make a decision. He turned to Mike and told him.

"My lord, the lord has ordered all of them to be executed. Aiden said apprehensively, "Do that...... Not really, right?"

"Then add my orders!" said Mira Kelling, on horseback, "go and tell Duke Jaime! I don't want his sword to be stained with women's blood! Send someone to send them to the prison immediately, and after the celebration is over, I will interrogate them myself!"

One of the guards ordered the horses to run into the crowd. He dismounted at the outskirts of the crowd, and Horn saw him squeeze through the crowd and walk over to Jaime and whisper something. "Where are Kane and Camille?" Horn asked Mike, looking at Jaime in the crowd.

"The castle is our new command post, and they're discussing the defense of the city with Kenny, as well as the next step in the southern expedition. Mike folded his hands and sat in the saddle, his eyes fixed on old James as he spoke.

"Your Majesty, I've left it to you. Horn smiled at Mira, shaking the reins.

The castle of Shotok Castle is a trilateral form consisting of three tall towers and a main fortress, two towers at the back and one at the front, with the main castle in the middle, connected by a towering high wall.

They crossed the square in front of the castle, drove up the wide stone steps, dismounted outside the lower courtyard, and then entered the main fort, and followed the corridors and aisles where the guards stood guard, and up the spiral staircase, to a doorway guarded by two saffiano helmets. "My lords, Master Kenny has been waiting for you for a long time. One of the guards said as he pulled the door open.

“...... That's why we're going to take advantage of the victory. ”

When Horn walked in the door, his father's voice stopped abruptly. He looked tired now, his silver armor was covered with sword marks and dents, and his delicately trimmed short beard seemed to have turned into a beard overnight, and his hair was disheveled. Beside him, Kane too, his armor was dented, half of his cloak was burned, the Fire Emblem that held the cloak was gone, and there was still a little undried blood on his face.

"It's just in time, if you don't come again, they're going to have to use a duel to decide the next battle plan. Camille stood up from his desk. The white robe on his body was spotless, and it didn't seem to have been affected by the war. "What about our Majesty? Why didn't she come?"

"What's the matter? What are you arguing about?" Horn looked up at the two of them as he sat down at the long table. Kenny stood by the window, silhouetted by the sunlight outside, Kane leaning against the table with a glass of wine, and behind him was a parchment map that took up half of the long table.

"Our leader will take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Karta directly with this morale. Kane sighed after speaking, turned around and pulled out his chair and sat down, stretching out his finger to poke at the map in front of him, "Look, the city of Saintode is here, and Karta is here, hundreds of miles away." ”

"You don't know Ryan, man. Kenny was still leaning against the stone window, his voice much softer than before, even mixed with a hint of exhaustion, "Now that the news of our capture of Shotoku City has not leaked, if we take advantage of this gap to attack Karta, we will definitely give the enemy an unexpected surprise attack." In other words, if we take a break, Ryan will definitely concentrate all his forces in the city of Karta, and he knows me, so if we miss this opportunity, Karta will definitely become an impregnable fortress. ”

"We can take Black City first, that's the capital of the First Continent. Kane pointed a long way east of the map, "And Robin City, this place looks good, the mountains are crisscrossed, and the minerals must be abundant. He looked up at Mike, "There are also grasslands and wastelands, we can do the opposite, use the time to occupy other territories, and eventually form an encirclement of Kartha." ”

"No, the next fight must not be Blake. Kenny quickly vetoed.

"That's right, the next battle can't be Blake. Camille chimed in.

"Yes. Mike nodded.

"You ...... What's wrong?" Kane frowned slightly, "There are only 30,000 people in Black, what are you afraid of? The walls of that city are thick, very high, and the gates are made of steel plates?" He rolled his eyes to look at Horn, "Alan, what is your opinion?"

Blake has dragons, what can I say?" Horn thought helplessly.
