Chapter 44: A Trick to Attack the Heart

"You're going to put the safety of the people of the city at risk?" I frowned.

"I, the cat people, will never give in to anyone." The queen of the cat clan is close to madness, and at this moment, where does she still have a little bit of the queen of the past.

"As long as you put the little flowers and the moon, I can no longer pursue the previous things." At this moment, I had to dispel my previous thoughts.

"Hahaha, when I lied to people, you didn't know where it was, let me believe you, unless I died." The queen of the cat clan dropped this sentence and retreated to the city with a few people around her.

In fact, the guards beside her have been shaken, but it is such foolish loyalty that has caused the cat clan to come to this point.

"Boss, I'll take someone to kill it directly." Huaishan was the first to ask for battle.

I looked at the closed gate of the cat clan in front of me, and I thought a lot in my mind, I admit that I have bloodthirsty genes in my heart, but I am not a butcher, I don't want to go from being admired to being scolded by thousands of people.

"Boss?" Huaishan spoke again.

"The city is full of people, is it for my personal grudge that I kill innocents regardless of it?" I glared at Huaishan and said.

"But..." Huai Shan was instantly deflated.

"Don't do it, let's think of another way, let's set up camp outside the city first." I said with a frown.

At this moment, I regret my impulsive decision, if I hadn't been so overwhelmed, maybe I wouldn't have crushed the last straw of the cat queen, and she wouldn't have lost her mind.

"Arrange for someone to watch, and don't let any of the messenger birds in the city leave." The cold wind immediately ordered the brothers beside him.

"Thank you." I said with a wry smile.

"Boss, don't worry, even if the nobles really come, they will have to weigh the consequences, no matter what happens, my brothers and I will always only recognize you as our leader." Cold Wind said.

"yes, that's what I mean." Huaishan said.

"The wolf clan swears to follow." The leader of the wolf clan raised his arms and shouted.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the brothers seemed to really treat me as their own.

"The dog clan will always stand by the boss's side." Zhao Dezhu is the same here.

"And the northern cat tribe." Although Huanhuan is alone, the influence of her words is not small.

"My lord, I, the Leopard Clan, will always be a loyal partner behind you from this moment on." The leader of the leopard clan said with a sincere gaze.

Maybe he was just forced by the number of us before, but now he is really infected by everyone.

Watching the bonfire spread far away, and then seeing the light in the cat clan city, I sat in the tent, and I really couldn't think of any way to crack it.

"Didn't you say anything about the art of war?" Huanhuan opened the tent and walked in, whispering.

"The Art of War?" I had a flash of inspiration.

"By the way, I've figured it out." I got up excitedly and rushed out of the tent.

"Boss, isn't this thing you're talking about a siege engine?" Zhao Dezhu was the first to answer my question.

"What? Can you make it? "I almost jumped in excitement.

"Of course, the dog clan is known for its various casting techniques." Zhao De couldn't help but smile proudly.

"Siege engines? Boss, what about the people in the city? Cold Wind frowned.

The rest of the leaders also looked at me with puzzled expressions.

"Who said I was going to throw stones?" I smiled at the crowd.

After listening to my explanation, everyone praised it again and again.

What I'm talking about is naturally the siege weapon that often appears in movies, trebuchets.

Fortunately, this time with the dog clan, everyone cut down a lot of trees in the surrounding forest overnight, and the next day, four trebuchets have been erected outside the cat clan city wall.

The horn immediately sounded on the wall of the cat clan, but unfortunately, this cat clan did not have any archers, which is the disadvantage of single-race combat.

Maybe I know why our Mercenary Knights are so strong, both then and now.

"How?" I stepped forward and asked.

"Boss, I mobilized all my brothers and wrote the letter of persuasion you said overnight, and now I am waiting for your order, and I guarantee that everyone in the city can have a copy." Huaishan said with a smile.

"Are you sure you can't hurt anyone?" I'm still a little worried.

"Don't worry, boss, the shell is made of mud, as long as there is a slight impact, the paper inside will fly all over the sky, and it won't hurt Baixin in the city." Zhao De couldn't help but pat his chest proudly.

"Okay, then let's get started, I'm going to spread the news to the cat people between the dark." I smiled and waved.

"Whoosh.." Four huge round clay shells wrapped in the letter of surrender flew over the walls of the cat clan and landed in the city.

For a while, there were screams in the city, but soon the city was quiet.

"Go on." Seeing that the effect was good, I said to everyone.

Our strategy of attacking the heart continued until the moonlight was approaching, and the next thing was to wait for the result.

The content of the letter is actually very simple, nothing more than two words, attacking the heart.

"Your Majesty the Queen, for your own selfish interests, put your life and death at risk, but we don't want to lose our lives, if we want to get a piece of pure land, I hope you take the initiative to hand over the Queen, and we will immediately withdraw the 50,000 elite soldiers outside the city." Signed, Mercenary Knights.

With this payment, it is actually everyone's idea, after all, the legend of the Mercenary Knights has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially ordinary people.

As for the 50,000 elite soldiers, although we only have 23,000 men, the people in the city will not be able to climb the city walls, and even if they do, I don't believe they can count how many of us there are.

This is the end of the attack, the cat clan is only 9,000 troops, and I estimate that this cat clan queen has not given the people a good life on weekdays, if I do this, I think there will be results soon.

The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the gates of the cat clan slowly opened.

The cat queen was escorted by two guards, and a few guards escorted the cat prince and the little princess I had saved.

"You're all crazy, you're all crazy, let me go, let me go, he's not an elf, they don't have fifty thousand people." These are the words that the cat queen keeps repeating.

In fact, watching the little princess of the cat clan crying, the queen of the cat clan is so hysterical, I am still a little uncomfortable inexplicably, as for the soft prince of the cat clan, I don't bother to look at it at all.

"My lord, we have escorted the queen out according to your request, and we hope that you will keep your promise." A feline guard said.

"The leaders of all the clans are here, and I promise that they will not harm any of the people in the city." I said in a deep voice.

"We know she's captured your friend, and we can send people out, though." The cat guards looked at the team behind me, and they were still a little skeptical.

"I can vouch for it, what he says, absolutely true, he is the leader of the Mercenary Knights." Huanhuan explained aloud.

"Huanhuan?" Only then did the guards notice Huanhuan, after all, the situation in front of them was indeed too tense.

"Bring people out." One of the guards struggled with his thoughts, but shouted into the city gate.

"Little flower, moon?" The four guards escorted two of them each, and I took two steps forward excitedly, but fortunately, Huanhuan hurriedly grabbed me.

You know, any inappropriate action on my part at this moment can lead to bloodshed.

"Zixiao." The second daughter's call almost made me cry like rain.

Fortunately, I could see that they were not injured, but they had lost a lot of weight, and I couldn't help but look at the queen viciously.

The queen ignored me, but the guards who were holding her were surprised.

"Are you alright? I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I hugged Xiaohua and Yue tightly, and tears flowed down my eyes.

After the three of them cried for a while, they remembered that there were more important things in front of them, waiting for me to solve.

"I'll go into town with you and decide where the three of them go." I looked at the cat guard in front of me and said.

"Boss, we'll go with you." Behind him, everyone spoke.

"Quiet, no one is allowed to set foot in the Cat Clan City without my order." I turned around and said coldly.

"Well, we believe in you." The guard said and pushed over the cat queen's family of three, and our people immediately took over the escort.

"I'm going to ask you to wait for me a little longer, okay?" I looked at Xiaohua and Yue and asked softly.

"Well, here we are, not going anywhere." The two girls held back their tears and said in unison.

"Huanhuan, let's go." As I spoke, I took Huanhuan's hand and followed the cat guards towards the city gate.

In fact, just now I whispered to Xiaohua and Yue about my plan, just so that they can wait in place with confidence.
