Chapter 224: Confrontation
In the evening, as the sun set, the two sides also tacitly stopped, and the soldiers of the garrison walked directly to the moat, and under the watchful eyes of the soldiers of the Viscount of Ceylon on the city wall, they instructed the civilians to pour the sandbags scattered on the ground into the moat.

Along with the mud entered the moat, there were also dead civilian corpses, and Tom, who was crying bitterly from some civilians and threatened by the weapons of the garrison soldiers, dragged a corpse into the moat with trembling hands, and couldn't help but have red eyes.
However, in addition to this feeling of sadness, there was also a little happiness in his heart, his parents were not recruited because they were over fifty-five years old, and his son was handed over to his parents because he was not yet fourteen years old.
He and his wife were the only ones brought in, and Tom was most fortunate to have been selected to cook for them every day, so they didn't have to carry dangerous sandbags.
As long as he preserves his life and fills the moat, he can still return to his previous life.
After cleaning up the mess by the moat, the many civilians who had not been subjected to bows and arrows exhaled and returned to their humble camp under the supervision of the guards, waiting for the time to eat.
Back at the camp, Tom sneaked to the isolated kitchen, and couldn't help but laugh when he looked at his busy wife, and this laughter also attracted the attention of everyone in the kitchen.
"Eh, wait, today His Majesty the King sent us some meat, let's cook some soup for everyone to eat, we have left a little meat in the kitchen, you are really hard today, eat some meat to make up for it~"
Tom couldn't help but rub his eyes as he watched his wife trot back to the kitchen, taking out a black porcelain bowl from a compartment and looking at the two pieces of meat that had no heat inside.
Without much to say, Tom took the bowl, looked around carefully, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he devoured two pieces of meat.
Wiping his greasy mouth, Tom hugged his wife, and after a brief snuggle, Tom let go of his hands as the others in the kitchen prepared to put their meals.
For the next half month, civilians died every day, but the number of deaths was decreasing.
Facing the arrows on the city wall for a long time, these civilians also have their own experience, which may not be beautiful, but it is very practical.
Lying on the ground, rolling, and even using the people around you as a shield when there is no way to avoid it.
Compared with the situation where more than 600 people died on the first day, it is really not a problem to have 30 or 40 people die every day at this time.
Tom's face couldn't help but be a little happy as another bag of sand was poured into the moat, which was already running out of water, and according to his estimates, it would only take three days at most for the moat to be filled, and then he would be able to go back with his wife.
And just as Tom had judged, in the garrison's camp, a discreet dinner was taking place in Giggs's room.
Asking the cooking squad to cook a few more dishes and taking out a jug of wine, Giggs directly invited Joe and Allen and a few wing captains to come over and talk.
For this opportunity to get closer to Giggs, these generals naturally will not be sloppy, and while eating and chatting, they can't help but talk about the progress of the moat's landfill.
"Haha~ God has helped us for half a month, not even a single rain has fallen, this moat is about to be filled by us, when the boss gives you an order, I will directly take my brothers to rush to the city and tie up the old guy in Ceylon in front of you. ā
Stuffing a piece of meat into his mouth, Alan directly patted his chest with one hand and said loudly.
Shaking his head with a smile, Giggs took a sip of the small half glass of wine in the cup, and a co-captain immediately came up with a flask to add wine to Giggs, sandwiched a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, Giggs said.
"Don't worry, just give him consumption, the consumption of food and grass is a trivial matter, wait until these tools for the siege are almost ready, and then after my secret weapon arrives, you can attack. ā
"Don't look at the high walls of this Betan City, plus the supplies that have been given to this old thing in Ceylon for so long to prepare for defense, but, you have to believe me, when Wright comes, it will not even take a week to take this Betan City. ā
Picking up the glass and toasting Giggs with a glass of wine, Joe let out a sigh of salute and asked Giggs, "Boss, I have a little impression of that guy Wright, it's the guy who flew the plane, well, quite polite." ā
"It's just that he can really help to bring down this Betan City? It's not that we have the prestige of others, in fact, we all have some bottomless hearts, if we want to talk about field warfare, then of course we have no problem, but this siege war can't give full play to our full strength at all." ā
Giggs said confidently, "Ha, the letter I just received today says that they have passed the territory of the baron who was very interesting before, and it is the baron who took the property directly and immediately rushed to the Starfire Territory after surrendering to me, it seems that his name is Warwick." ā
"And according to the time of the delivery of the letter, they should be less than half a month away from us now, hehe, when the time comes, I want to show you the art of war, the art of explosion. ā
The crowd who didn't understand what Giggs meant could only look at each other, but they couldn't continue to ask Giggs, after all, they hadn't forgotten who they were, even if it was a private dinner invited by Giggs.
Three days later, under the cheers of many civilians, the moat was finally filled, and in the face of the excited civilians, it was the captain of the wing who rode a black unicorn and said loudly to the civilians with a black face.
"Yes, you have successfully completed the mission, and now you will not have to face such a dangerous situation, and you will be responsible for assisting us in the construction of siege equipment. ā
"Don't try to question me, my temper is not very good, and likewise, my saber is not good-tempered~"
Ignoring the wails behind him, the Wing Captain returned directly to the camp to deliver the mission to Giggs.
A few days later, the Viscount of Ceylon frowned a little puzzledly, looking at the garrison camp without the slightest movement, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, the Viscount of Ceylon, who looked at the sky, said to the people around him,
"It's going to rain again~"
Listening to his words, the people who also looked up at the sky couldn't help but nod, but when they retracted their gaze, they found that the Viscount of Ceylon had already walked to the top of the stairs of the city wall alone, and seemed to be about to return, so they hurriedly trotted to follow.
"If you have any schemes, Giggs~"
"No matter what your plot is, I will not take a step out of the city of Petan, as long as you want to join the territory of the human beings in the Whispering Forest, you must attack the city of Petan, and relying on the defense of the city walls, I will not be afraid of your army.
