c_t;“ They are here for the Yun brothers and sisters, and they have nothing to do with the wealth of my Amadeira City. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Katerina corrected.

"Do you believe this kind of excuse too? Surround the city with a large army, in order to capture two grandmaster-level masters? Can't imagine that the intelligence level of the Darants is so low, and even making excuses is so lame. The soldiers said this to boost their morale and to make a fig leaf for themselves, but in fact they were still blushing at the wealth of the place. Just ask how the two grandmaster-level masters could be captured in the chaos of the army, they only need to blend into the refugee group, and they can easily get out. ”

Fang Ruitao crossed his shoulders and said: "You took in the Yun brothers and sisters, just to give the Durrants an excuse, so that they pretend to be bandits to surround the city, so that they will not be criticized." Even if they sack the city, they could have pushed it on the rebels, saying that our army had seen the situation and looted it, or even burned it down to destroy the evidence. ”

Katerina's face was cloudy, and she said for a long time: "According to what you say, should I give up here? ”

"Perhaps, but the business status here will be declining, and your lucrative profits will be gone. ”

"It's impossible, I admit your talent, but Shouyang City is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is difficult for a caravan to travel across the continent from there, especially in the northwest region of the extremely distant Fengyun Empire. As long as your products are sold to other countries, they always have to go through me. Katerina said.

"This is a matter for the future, at least for now, your status as the commercial capital cannot be shaken, let's talk about the military situation first. Fang Ruitao lightly changed the topic, he didn't want to reveal his business layout, and at the same time avoided the other party's so-called marriage proposal.

Talking about the military situation, Katerina frowned slightly: "The other side has at least 60,000 people, and we plus mercenaries are only more than 10,000, and the other party is well-trained, in the large-scale siege battle, we suffer very much." ”

Fang Ruitao nodded and said: "According to my estimate, there should be about 100,000 enemy troops, but this is not an intractable problem, as long as there are excellent garrison equipment, there is no problem in defending this fortified city." I just don't know how many craftsmen there are in this city, the most important ones are carpenters and blacksmiths. ”

"Commerce is prosperous here, the consumption of all kinds of items is huge, of course there are many carpenters and blacksmiths, how can you be useful?"

Fang Ruitao nodded: "Gather them as soon as possible, I believe that one night should be enough, and let them light the lights for a few fewer days." Fang Ruitao pointed to the dotted lights in the city and said, "I need all the lamp oil, you can prepare it, and when the things and people are ready, I will go over." Now I'd better go back to the cocktail party first, drink some wine to relieve fatigue, it seems that today is going to be busy all night. Fang Ruitao waved his hand and slowly walked down the tower, heading towards the banquet hall.

Grand Duke Katerina smiled slightly, but she had an idea in her heart. As a woman, it's too stressful to be in this position. She has always wanted to find a more capable husband to inherit this family business, so that Amadeira City can continue to prosper, but Fang Ruitao's appearance meets all her requirements. "Maybe it's a good choice to find such a husband, but it seems that there are a lot of women around him. A playful smile tugged at the corners of Katerina's mouth.

Katerina prepared very quickly, and only an hour later, Fang Ruitao, who was chatting happily with his teammates, was pulled out, and he didn't even have time to close his eyes in the middle of the night. Li Simin had no choice but to hand it over to Yun Tianjiao to take care of, but fortunately, the two of them were from the Fengyun Empire and had a lot of common language, and the two talked happily with each other.

When Fang Ruitao was busy making city defense equipment in the city, Baban was thundering in circles in the camp, and the failure of the surprise attack made him fall into a state of madness. The first time he led his troops to the expedition, he encountered such an unpleasant thing, which really damaged his reputation as the head of the war emperor. "How can we take this big city with 50,000 soldiers? ”

"It's here, and tomorrow we have at least 100,000 available troops. It's just that so many people gather here, and it's easy to get into trouble after a long time, at least it's hard for us to explain where so many bandits came from, which will not only have a negative impact on our country's reputation, but also cause panic among the country's residents. "The Marquis of Pleka, as an assistant, despised these war emperors, although they were very strong, but they were laymen in the march and war, and every time they were blind in command, causing unnecessary losses to the empire.

"If I can't capture it within two days, I'll apply to mobilize a team of Earth Dragon Knights to come over and crush the city to the ground. Baban roared, clearly unhappy that he couldn't take Amadeira quickly.

"Don't, the Earth Dragon Legion is the symbol of the empire, once they appear, the truth will be revealed, and the empire will become the target of everyone. The Marquis of Pleka hastened to stop him, he knew Babet's feelings, and every day their party stayed here was in more danger. Once discovered, the national image of the Durrant Empire will plummet, and it is estimated that the two of them will become substitutes at that time.

"I think we should attack at all costs, and if we can't fight for three days, we should retreat immediately. "Marquis Pleka's thinking is very clear, this kind of thing should be done quickly rather than slowly, as long as the Yun brothers and sisters are captured, and by the way, they loot this rich city, and it is acceptable to have more casualties.

Babanjie nodded: "That's it, tomorrow the whole army will be surrounded on all sides, regardless of casualties, if we can't fight it in three days, we will have to go and apologize to Your Majesty." Although you will be punished in this way, it is better than being killed in place of the dead. ”

When the next morning came, all the things Fang Ruitao needed had been completed. Looking at the tired craftsmen, Fang Ruitao announced with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard, everyone will be rewarded handsomely for tonight's work, at least three months' wages, now go back and rest." When they heard that there was such a great reward for working for the Grand Duke, everyone cheered. For these rewards, Fang Ruitao is not distressed, anyway, he is generous to others, and I believe that Grand Duke Katerina is very happy to give these money.

As soon as it was dawn, the inhabitants of Amadeira were awakened by the rumbling of the streets, and they opened their doors to see what was going on, but they were driven back by the soldiers who were guarding them along the way, and they had to hide in their houses and look through the cracks in the curtains at the behemoths passing through the streets.
