Chapter 86: Just Retreat

Li Ang sat firmly in the corner of the military tent, looking at Justes, who was sandwiched between the two Metenheim men, and said that he still planned to attack the door of the military tent.

Indeed, Justes didn't involve his men in the attack all day, and his men were already very upset.

It's not that I'm suspicious of anything, but I feel uncomfortable - the whole army is attacking the city, and they are in array to watch the show, which is very embarrassing.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

Even if you go out to paddle and fish, it's better than standing dry......

When Justes returned, they wished to make a statement, but they were ordered not to go near the tent, so as not to disturb the Governor's discussion with Lord Rainier on matters of state......

So they were probably supportive of another Governor coming over and scolding them—they didn't even come to report when they saw Livius coming here in a rage.

It's not that they want to change jobs, it's mainly because they don't get beaten - Livius came in with not only a bruised face but also a whip in his hand.

Governor Levius had some retinue behind him, but they squeezed at each other's knights on Justus's side, and then the two governor's men came together, neither of them approaching the tent.

The guards on both sides were obviously quite sensible, and none of them wanted to quarrel with the two governors......

"Justus! You bastard! You didn't even go to war? That's not what you do to preserve your strength, right?! ”

Before entering the military tent, the scolding had already arrived.

It seems that the governor of Livius has a rather short temper.

"Today is about to fall...... Forehead? ”

Levius Knuckle broke into the tent and saw Justes sitting in the middle, and as soon as the accusation began, he stopped abruptly.

The whip in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Because, two big swords have clamped his neck.

Well, clips.

Because the word 'rack' is not enough to express this scene - the lord brought Klose and them into the military tent, and now this huge luxury tent is crowded with fierce men, all staring at Levius.

The men carried him with their hands and feet, and their feet were off the ground.

Two large swords clamped his bald head like scissors.

Livius is a lean middle-aged man in his forties, I don't know if it's because the marital life is not harmonious, anyway, at this age, the top of his head is already bald, only the temples still have a messy hair.

It makes him look both ferocious and vicissitudes......

After being caught between the two big swords, he didn't dare to move at all, only his eyes were dripping.

"Now, you don't plan to attack the city...... Don't tell me, you two add together, and you can't command those little lords! ”

Leon sat next to him, shaving his nails with a small knife in his hand.

Glancing at the two governors who could only make eye contact, Li Ang grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "Don't worry...... I have to go back alive, so I won't hurt you—as long as you get out of the army. ”

……

White Hart Fort finally survived the day.

But tomorrow...... Will there be such good luck?

Amy thought.

Just this afternoon, she shot a living enemy for the first time — the first time she had killed with her own hands.

She watched as the crossbow shot out of her hand, striking an Imperial gladiator in the neck, and the enemy fell to the city on his back.

Amy didn't feel uncomfortable, she was just doing her part, or rather saving herself.

Although her heart is still beating like a drum until now.

In fact, when the Imperial gladiators ascended the walls, Amy was ready to set the city on fire - she did not want to fall into the hands of the enemy.

Although Amy is young, she knows what happens to a young and beautiful girl when she becomes a prisoner of war......

Even the daughter of a nobleman......

Or it is precisely because she is the daughter of a nobleman that the result may be more difficult to accept than death.

But just as the second wall was about to fall, a trumpet sounded in the forest!

The horn summons the horn of the rangers!

The moment she heard the horn, Amy ordered almost trembling all over: "Counterattack!" Drive them all down! ”

But after the enemy retreated, no reinforcements appeared in the forest......

Amy was not disappointed, she knew that the sound of the horn for more than ten minutes was a kind of reinforcement.

This kind of deception reminded her of a man - the young little lord who made his father the 'executive director' and used the gold mine as bait to defraud all the nobles in the entire eastern region of a large sum of money.

Last time, not long after my father called himself 'Executive Director', he brought back two large boxes of dinars to Fort White Hart, and he was as happy as a child - my father said that he had finally saved up a dowry for Amy, and that he could change his men into better equipment.

After that, that person founded the 'Maixiang International Group' and took the businessmen to the battlefield......

It was Amy's first experience of this kind of operation, and it literally opened the door to a new world - it turns out that with the first start-up capital, business can be so fancy!

Can even war be a means of doing business?

Then, after sending someone to Mak Xiangling to 'investigate', Amy understood.

The lord of Mai Xiangling actually deceived everyone, his business, his group company, are all means of controlling people's hearts.

He used his interests to tie his men, his subjects, his allies, and the merchants into his hands.

The newly-built Wheat Collar, the Ellerdeg Lords brought from White Hart Castle, or the refugees who had been recovered from the wilderness, had become extremely loyal and proud to be the Wheat Lords in just two or three months.

This is something that the vast majority of nobles in the Lion Kingdom cannot do in their lifetime......

Therefore, Amy also learned, opened a grain and oil company, and even tried to help Mai Xiangling - forcing Mai Xiangling to buy grain at a high price.

She thought that the lord would have some means to fight back, and she would learn more, but she didn't expect him to not only accept it calmly, but also pay it very happily.

This made Amy a little uneasy, and she felt that she should apologize - he was an ally and partner of her father, and she should not have resorted to such a small trick against her allies.

And in today's war, most of the trumpet sounds are made by the lord, and ordinary people will definitely not use this seemingly ridiculous little trick on the battlefield.

It could only be the people he sent - only the people of Mai Xiangling could rush to White Deer Fort so quickly.

That's how the trick was supposed to be...... Everyone in White Deer Fort knew that the moment they heard the horn, they were almost instantly demoralized.

And the enemy immediately retreated to the city.

If I can hold the White Deer Fort, I must thank him...... And apologize.

But his Mai Xiang Ling was no longer in the wolf smoke yesterday, judging from the strength of the Mai Xiang Ling...... I'm only afraid of more bad luck and less luck......

In today's one-day battle alone, White Hart Fort lost one hundred and fifty-two valiant warriors.

Amy counted it well.

And the losses of the Bacchus Empire were at least three times more than that amount.

This is war......

His father, Godric, never allowed himself to participate in war, and he always said that "girls do need to practice martial arts, but war is always a man's business."

But as the daughter of the Lord of White Hart, Amy knew many young knights, who often described the war to her.

But the real war is completely different from the romantic stories that those knights usually tell.

There are no warriors heads-up, no heroic dialogues, and no sympathy between knights......

There was only killing, blood, swords, arrows, and countless corpses.

The warrior who blew the trumpet in the afternoon may have ......

Amy had once again walked up the tower in the darkness of night, overlooking the enemy camp a mile away.

Wait a minute......

Amy rubbed her eyes and looked at them again.

The enemy, it seems, is retreating?

What's going on?

The enemy really seems to be retreating overnight - the Bacchus Empire troops that originally surrounded Fort White Deer are slowly retreating into the distance, and they have even begun to tear down their tents!

"Someone! Everyone is on standby! Prepare for a counterattack! ”

Amy's whole body trembled, she didn't know what was happening, but it was clear that the enemy was not going to besiege the city!
