Seeing that the besieging troops had already begun to build the ladder, Leon hurriedly found Oden: "Lord Earl, are you planning to attack the city?" ”

"Of course, there must be an explanation to His Majesty...... Besides, I don't want the King's Chinese army to go to Alma's side - I think you can understand what I mean. ”

Auden was very direct, and it seemed that he did not intend to hide his allies.

"So...... In this battle, is His Majesty the King's intention to weaken the strength of Duke Alma? ”

Combined with the reminder given to him by Auden's servant before, Leon was very keen to find the point.

Auden smiled: "Cunning boy...... Now that you understand His Majesty's intentions, you should understand why I am attacking with all my might. ”

Of course, it is understood that this is an excuse for Auden to provide King Ulrik - if the Sava Fort is likely to be captured, or if any results are achieved, then the king will bring the Chinese army to reinforce it.

In this way, no matter how hard Alma's side fought, King Ulrik could not come to his aid.

And Alma's 'must take' Karen Deer Fort is a well-known fortified city on the whole continent. And the lord of Karen Deer Castle is also General Creon, a famous general of the Bacchus Empire, who is extremely difficult to deal with after a hundred battles.

It was a feast arranged by the king for Alma.

Alma's ambitions were evident when she almost doubled her power after taking control of the town of Long River, and she held two of the kingdom's four major counties.

King Ulrique seems to be aware of this great threat, but the town of Long River is nominally in the hands of 'Lady Bella and the child in her womb', and the king cannot deprive an orthodox duke of his right to inherit it......

Therefore, Ulrik naturally had to find a way to weaken Alma's army.

This is for checks and balances.

Regardless of whether Alma could take Cullen Deer Fort or not, the king's purpose would have been achieved anyway.

"Lord Earl, I understand your intentions, so I suggest that you besiege the city and send reinforcements - this will be more effective and less costly. I think you also know that even if you take the Sava Fort, you won't get ...... After all, the marshal this time is His Majesty the King himself. ”

Leon gave his own advice.

The king leads the team, and the territory that is beaten down will naturally be distributed by the king.

Who will it be given to?

To Oden, who controls the Horn Summoning Rangers?

Impossible...... Auden's military strength was already strong, and even if he did a great job, the king would not grant him any more lands, or Ulrique would not be able to sleep.

Moreover, most of the Chinese army under the king's command were cavalry, and they may not be active in the siege of the city, but if it is a field battle, most of them are quite enthusiastic.

Therefore, it is indeed more appropriate to besiege the city and send reinforcements, as long as the enemy's reinforcements can be caught in the field, it is estimated that the king's Chinese army will come over immediately.

Count Auden thought about it carefully, told the troops under the city to retreat, and began to build barrier fortifications around the fort of the Sava River.

And so, the siege began.

Leon would suggest this, of course, not just to give allies better options......

You know, the main fighters under his command are all infantry—the kind with more individual combat power.

In the event of a siege war, those big men will be sent to climb the city wall as the first warriors......

He didn't want his family to be used as cannon fodder, and Auden's servants reminded him.

Besides, this trip is mainly for business......

How good it is to surround the city and consume each other's food, and make money in harmony......

That's right, it's more important about this - the consumption of food and the consumption of time.

His caravan serves a wide range of cuisines – 'Lame Food' and Griffin Grains & Oils & Foods Ltd. have been two of the most popular subsidiaries from the very beginning......

And during the boring time of the siege, the 'Alice Entertainment World' met the leisure and entertainment needs of the soldiers......

Moreover, the lord was not satisfied with the money he earned for the troops, so he sent his men to various villages in the Bacchus Empire to carry out propaganda.

"On November 11th, Maixiang Group will hold an international trade fair on the hill eleven miles north of Sava Fort!"

"Double 11 Special, Great Reward for Special Goods!"

"It's all unique products of the Lion Kingdom, and if you buy it, you earn it!"

As the publicity of the 'Double 11' event spread, the entire northwest region of the Bacchus Empire was alarmed.

Thousands of residents of the Bacchus Empire came from the surrounding villages and towns to participate in this unprecedented international trade fair......

Indeed, as Li Ang expected, due to the hostility between the Lion Kingdom and the Bacchus Empire for many years, the people-to-people trade between the two countries was basically interrupted, and various special products produced by the kingdom sold very well in the Bacchus Empire.

Basically, it was sold in large quantities in the form of a rush sale, and it was unprecedented.

The merchants were so happy that their backlog of goods was quickly sold, and Leon even asked Klose to lead a team to protect the merchants, and they went back in batches to buy the goods......

And the lord's 'Food World' and 'Alice Entertainment' are like two black holes, as long as you dare to enter, your wallet will be empty when you come out......

Countless dinars poured into the lord's pocket like a flood, and he now slept on the bed made of dinars, feeling particularly soundly asleep.

In the end, the commander of the Sava Theater, Count Oden, finally couldn't help but intervene - many of his soldiers were asking him to borrow money, and when he asked, he found out that their military pay had been lost overnight in the 'Alice Entertainment World'......

The Earl was extremely angry, and rushed to the door to slash his head and cover his face, which was an angry reprimand, and the righteous words were solemn and sonorous.

"Now the two countries are at war, the war is dangerous, and the situation is confusing! The front-line soldiers are sacrificing their lives and forgetting their deaths, fighting bloody ......"

Auden glanced back at his men who were peacefully repairing the fence and digging a trench a mile away from the castle......

“…… Fortifications are being built at the end of their lives! You even ignored the overall situation, blackmailed your colleagues behind your back, and used strategic materials to collaborate with the enemy! If you don't repent, beware of me being ruthless! ”

Li Ang was counting the money with an expressionless face: "Give you 5% of the shares." ”

Auden was furious: "You shameless person, you are hopeless! I think I'm Auden Fletcher, Lord of the First County, how can I be tempted by your petty profit! ”

As he spoke, he looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he continued to scold: "I tried to persuade you with kind words, but you wanted to bribe me with only 5%!" This kind of behavior of yours is an insult to my personality! ”

Li Ang didn't raise his head: "8%, you can't send my troops to the front line, don't do it!" ”

Auden showed a kind smile and a kind face: "Deal!" I've already sent someone to protect that entertainment world, and there are people who have lost money making trouble over there just now...... You have to ensure the supply of the whole army, and the siege consumes a lot of food. ”

As a result, the business of the 'Maixiang Group' became more and more prosperous, and even began to send people to the surrounding villages to open 'offices'.

With Count Auden by his side, Leon no longer guarded the Sava Castle all the time, but led his team to spread the business to the entire western part of the Bacchus Empire.

Especially in the 'Alice Entertainment World', the lord plans to spread the special art form composed of playing cards and dice to the entire Pander continent first......

The lord 'selected' some merchants to be 'authorized agents', and after withholding a large amount of money, he led them to open entertainment venues in various villages in the western part of the Bacchus Empire.
