Chapter 82: The Kiss of the Goddess (Fourth Update, Ask for Subscription)

Of course, Leon wants to rescue White Deer Castle, saving White Deer Fort is to save Mai Xiangling, and the lord doesn't want to lose his territory.

Originally, Li Ang's manpower could not have played much role in the battle in White Deer Castle, and he did have plans to pack up his belongings and be ready to run away at any time......

But now that Lehman had arrived with the Lion Knight, Leon felt that there might be a chance.

In fact, when he learned that the leading knight was Rainier, the lord almost guessed the cause and effect.

In order to confirm his guess, and to prevent the unconscious dead face from 'waking up suddenly' again, Leon directly knocked out the leg bone of the dead face.

- And in this case, the dead face was still unconscious, but his breathing was still steady, and even his muscles did not contract, as if nothing had happened.

That's just so abnormal.

Given that Risardylan said that the dead face was very good at disguised as a fool, and there were many men in black around him who looked like killers, and they succeeded in luring Godric to the Raven Village.

Plus that one should be Rainier......

So the lord revisited the matter.

Leon didn't think the men in black were killers—otherwise Dead Face wouldn't have hired Risa Dilan to kill him.

It's more likely that the identities of those men in black are somewhat similar to the killers - they are more like professional secret agents, specializing in voyeurism, eavesdropping, tracking, and poisoning. There is some overlap with the nature of the killer's work, but he is not good at killing.

And the Noldor elves have always looked down on humans, and Rissadillan probably can't distinguish these subdivided jobs in human society, and he can only judge those people from their temperament that they look like killers.

Leon felt that this dead face was most likely the spy leader of the Bacchus Empire, who had been professionally trained.

- Judging from Risa Dilan's experience and the fact that no matter how much torture he can't wake up, this dead face probably will actively hypnotize himself, so as not to be unbearable torture and leak confidential information.

This is a special skill that only professional secret spies can master, and it is a very advanced secret agent.

It is likely that this dead face began planning to seize the White Hart Fort when Grand Duke Alma introduced the Gatu people into the country.

At first, it is possible that he was trying to convince Lord Rainier of Ellerdigar to do his job that Elledigar was the only place where he could pass the Beacon Fire of Whitedegg.

Once Al-Deig pretends that nothing happens, Fort White Hart will become a lonely city, and it will be difficult to be detected even if it is attacked, and those who ask for help will be intercepted by Al-Deig, and it will be able to block or deceive reinforcements without going to reinforce Fort Whitedeg.

I don't know if Rainier said yes or not at the time, but it didn't matter, because the Cato came first......

As a result, Rainier burned Al-Deig - it is estimated that this dead face also took advantage of the situation to fool him, because turning Al-Deig into a no-man's land can actually play a part-role, at least the beacon fire of Fort White Hart is difficult to see.

Even later, the Gatu pursued Rainier, and perhaps there was the hand of this dead man's face - Rainier who had lost his territory was useless, and he could use the hand of the Gatul to kill his mouth.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

However, Ralph saved Rainier, so the dead face must have sent a spy to follow Ralph - he feared that Rainier would leak his existence and that Ralph or Count Auden would find out about the plan.

Presumably, his spy followed him all the way to the border camp, and probably eavesdropped on Ralph's conversation with himself, so Dead Face could know his whereabouts even in Long River Town - Ralph asked the lord to go to Ellerdaig to establish a territory, and the spies under Dead Face would definitely repay him as quickly as possible.

He then bought Risardiran to assassinate himself, as he didn't want any lord to rebuild Al Degar.

This is also the reason why when he sees Leon's noble insignia and orders an attack on Risadilan. It's not that he doesn't want to pay the final payment, but because at that time Al-Deig has been rebuilt into Mai Xiangling, and it doesn't matter whether the assassination is successful or not, and he wants to kill Rissadiran to kill him.

As for Risardiran escaping, it didn't matter to the dead face, the life or death of a third-party elf killer had no effect on his plans.

Maybe the dead face was going to buy Li Ang at that time - but at that time, the lord was out fighting and doing business, and he was never in Mai Xiangling.

And Dead Man's mission to isolate Fort White Hart still has to be completed, so he can only find Reinier again.

This time, he put forward all kinds of more tempting conditions to persuade Rainier, who had lost his territory, to take advantage of the empty stage when Leon led his troops to leave during the war.

But the first time, they didn't expect Amy to send a large number of archers, so they had to ask Reinier to recruit more men during the month, waiting for the last chance at the end of the war.

It is unknown how Rainier managed to recruit thousands of bandits in a month, but perhaps it was precisely because of his ability and great certainty that he would take the Wheat Collar that the Bacchus Empire would promise him the status of governor.

All of this is probably because this spy leader intends to cooperate with the Bacchus Empire to capture White Deer Castle.

The mission of this dead-faced spy leader may be to find a way to destroy or occupy the original Eldeig, in order to achieve the goal of temporarily isolating Whitedeg, and luring Godric, the most experienced lord of Whitelord, away.

In this way, the Bacchus Empire has the possibility of quickly capturing White Deer Fort.

White Deer Fort is the most solid barrier in the east of the Lion Kingdom, and it is a fortified city that the Bacchus Empire has been trying to conquer for decades.

In the previous war, when Count Auden was besieging the fortress of Sava to send reinforcements, the reinforcements of the Bacchus Empire came so slowly, which was probably related to this plan - at that time, part of the army of the Bacchus Empire was probably assembled in the east, probably in the Shield Wind Fortress, which was far away from the Sava Fort.

So far, most of this dead man's mission has actually been completed, and this spy has done his best.

The only problem is that there is a variable.

Since such an analysis has been reached, it is natural that the lord intends to calculate it.

Rainier's identity as a knight of the burning village, he plans to use it.

That unconscious dead man's face spy, he also plans to use it.

"Risa Dilan, how are your injuries?"

"My lord, Anson has dealt with it for me, and I can act now, but I'm afraid I can't fight with all my strength...... What do you need me to do? ”

"There is no need to fight...... You take this horn and hide in the forest near White Hart Fort, and blow the trumpet when White Hart Fort is most dangerous. ”

"When is it most dangerous?"

"If you see the people of the Bacchus Empire breaching the walls of Fort White Deer, blow the trumpet and keep blowing. You'd better hide deeper and not get killed......"

"Understood, sir, I'll go."

…………

The siege of Fort White Deer has been going on all day.

Amy is very anxious now, and her originally clear eyes have added some melancholy and a lot of blood.

I don't know how many troops there are outside the city, anyway, she saw five or six of the general's flags alone, and two governor's flags.

According to the system of the Bacchus Empire, the governor was equivalent to a regional elder like Alma, the general was equivalent to a county administrator like Auden or Godric, and the other lords were probably village cadres like Leon.

You can see two governor's flags and five or six general flags, which means that the city may have half of the army of the Bacchus Empire!

Anyway, at a glance, it is densely packed with people.

There were only about 500 soldiers in the castle, of which nearly 400 were good archers, and the other hundred were hoplites—all of whom had been taken into battle by Godric.

Skilled archers were plentiful, which was advantageous for defending the city.

The walls of Bailu Fort are extremely strong and dangerous, and the city defense has been continuously expanded into a multi-level defense system with rich layers, which is very suitable for archers to defend.

The problem was that the archers couldn't rush out of the city under siege - so far, Amy couldn't even send a single messenger.

Moreover, there is also a beacon fire rising on Mai Xiangling's side, and it seems that there will be no reinforcements for a while, given Mai Xiangling's weak military strength, I am afraid that the enemy may have reinforcements soon......

Due to the large number of enemies, the defenders could not leave the city, and the watchtowers and arrow towers on the periphery of the castle were occupied in only a few hours, and the current White Deer Fort is already an isolated city.

The enemy's offensive on this day was not too strong, but they were only firing from a distance with crossbowmen, and the losses on both sides were not large.

But that's because they're building siege ladders.

Now, multiple siege ladders have appeared in the enemy's formation, and the crossbowmen have all dispersed around the castle and hidden in the darkness.

Even at night, the enemy's camp was still brightly lit, and braziers were lit everywhere, and it seemed that there was no way to surprise the attack.

Maybe tomorrow morning, the enemy will go on a full-scale attack.

In this case, Amy really can't think of much to do, she can only hope that the craftsmen in the castle can make more arrows overnight, hoping that she can hold on a little longer, and she may be saved if she drags on her father back.

What would my father do if he were here?

Young Amy racked her brain to think back to the defensive battles that Godric had commanded a few years ago, but it seemed difficult to think of any useful tactics—Godric seemed to say "Hey, Amy, give me a kiss from a goddess" every time. ”

Whenever this happens, Amy kisses her father's helmet and sends him out of the house.

Then, by the time Godric returned, the city was already celebrating another victory.

Amy thought for a moment, put the Stag Knight armor on top of her swordsman's suit, and then picked up a tasseled feathered knight's helmet, kissed it reverently, and put it on her head.

Picking up a women's crossbow, Amy stood on the walls of Fort White Deer and looked at the enemy camp outside the city.

Goddess Yonomia, this time, allow me to kiss myself in your place.

The kiss of the goddess will surely bring victory.
