Due to the obstruction of the magic barrier, the city defense army's sneak attack plan could only be abandoned, and the two men returned the same way in frustration, reporting the situation to their superiors. When King Correa heard the news, he was so angry that he overturned the table, and he pointed to the south of the city and cursed angrily: "Damn magicians! Damn magic guilds! They are openly intervening in this war, and I will make them pay!"

It was the first time for the ministers to see the king in such a big fire, and they were all too frightened to speak, but they all said in their hearts: "If you hadn't insisted on attacking Pesanis, how could such a thing have happened...... but these words only dared to think in their hearts, and no one had the courage to say it.

"Call me the city guards, and ask them to get rid of this rubbish for me today!" said King Correa, who was already incoherent.

The ministers all looked at each other when they heard the king's inconsequential words, and by this time the king could not recognize the facts, and he really did not know how to persuade him. So everyone turned their eyes to Prime Minister Crenso, who had no one else to shirk, so he had to bite the bullet and say to the king: "Your Majesty, I think the most urgent thing at the moment is to hold the northern city first, and at the same time immediately ask for help from the troops in front, so that they can send people back to rescue, and when the army arrives, these problems will be solved." ”

The king thought for a moment, and then said: "This is also the way, but it will take too long to wait for the front to come back to rescue, so that the nearby lords can send troops first, and at the same time, the front must also send troops to help, but the general policy of attacking Pesanis cannot be changed." ”

Seeing that the king had calmed down, the ministers did not say anything more, on the one hand, they ordered the city defense troops to defend firmly, and on the other hand, they sent distress messages to the lords in all directions, and at the same time issued orders to the front troops to return to help.

So the city of Solandaniel was temporarily quiet, and the two sides formed a confrontation situation, the north side of the river is the control area of the city defense army, and the south side of the river is the territory of the Holy Cult Army. However, this situation did not last long, and the next day the king came up with a new idea, and he had the city defenders attack from outside the city around the north gate.

Everyone knew that this was a bad idea, and the Holy Cult Army was not a fool, how could it be defenseless against the North Gate, but the king's strength made everyone dare not say anything. So they suffered the city defenses, and they had to go out of the city through the south gate, according to the king's orders, and then bypassed the whole city to the north gate.

The north gate was unguarded, which surprised the officer leading the team, but he soon found out that it was a white joy, because the Holy Cult Army had already set up an enchantment here. The officer cursed in his heart, knowing that there would be such a result and let them carry out some kind of sneak attack, the king's brain was in water!

However, every move of the city defense army did not hide the eyes of the Holy Cult Army, and Naros's intelligence organization arranged many eyeliners inside and outside the city, and the city defense army was discovered shortly after leaving the south gate. The information was quickly sent to the Holy Cult Army in the city, and the Holy Cult Army immediately took action, concentrating thousands of troops to storm a bridge.

The sudden attack of the Holy Cult Army made the city defense army break out in a cold sweat, but fortunately their barricades were well repaired, and only then did the reinforcements arrive. However, as soon as the attack of the Holy Cult Army was repelled here, the Holy Cult Army launched an attack on another bridge, so the reinforcements rushed to the other bridge to rescue, and this situation happened several times, and the real battle was not too fierce, but the rescue force was tired enough.

The city defense army naturally understood that they had fallen for the other party's strategy, but they had no choice, and now that the city was short of troops, it was not easy to defend so many places. The commander of the city defense army had also thought of treating them the way they were, but they immediately discovered that there was an enchantment on the other side of all the bridges, and the Holy Cult could come and they could not cross.

This situation gave the city defenders a deep sense of powerlessness, and they even had an indescribable feeling that the Holy Cult Army was just unwilling, otherwise they were fully capable of capturing the entire city of Solandaniel in a matter of days. The city guards reported the situation to the king one by one, and the king understood that it was impossible to drive out the Holy Cult army with the existing army alone, and the only thing he could count on was the arrival of reinforcements.

According to the king's estimates, the nearest reinforcements should have arrived in three days, but five days passed in the blink of an eye, and there was no sign of reinforcements at all. The king became more and more irritable, many ministers simply said that they were sick and took leave, and seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the court, King Correa suddenly had a feeling of declining.

If you talk about who is the most powerful king of the countries of the continent, I am afraid that King Correa will say that he is the second, and no one dares to say that he is the first, but now he finds that his throne is not so secure, because a sudden attack by the Holy Cult Army has made his country face a huge crisis. The expected reinforcements have been delayed, and the number of people who go to court every day is getting fewer and fewer, this is the legendary lonely man.

This incident made King Correa have a deep suspicion of the nobles, and no one came to save him at the critical moment, it seems that the nobles are obedient on the surface, but in private they are all villains who will not save them. The more he thought about it, the more irritable his temper became, and every day he insulted his subordinates and threw things in the palace, putting everyone in danger.

In fact, King Correa didn't know that as early as a few days ago, some nobles sent reinforcements, and the few small nobles closest to the royal capital thought that this was a rare opportunity, and the attack was none other than the Savior, as long as they sent troops to the royal capital, they would definitely win the favor of the king, so they gathered thousands of soldiers and rushed to the royal capital at the first time.

However, this improvised army was suddenly attacked by cavalry hundreds of miles away from the royal capital, and it was none other than the cavalry of the Elshira family. Without any prior preparation, the support force was quickly routed by Elshira's cavalry, and was annihilated without even a chance to escape, as if there had never been such a force in the world.

King Correa could not see reinforcements from the nobles, so he could only pin his hopes on the troops at the front, and he sent urgent letters to the front line every day to urge, which made the troops at the front line anxious.

At this time, the commander-in-chief at the front line was the king's favorite general, the Marquis Marquis Marque, who had led the army for many years and was an experienced veteran. When he received the king's letter, he couldn't help but be surprised, the royal capital was actually half captured by the Holy Cult army, when did these Holy Religious troops run into Correa, and why the intelligence department did not know anything.

Now is the most critical time of the Pesanis war, the 100,000 army besieges Sado, only need to besiege for a few more days, the city will definitely surrender, but at this time received a letter from the king. The Marquis Marquis Marek took the letter and read it several times, but he could not make up his mind that if he returned to the army now, everything he had done in the previous months would be in vain.

But if he didn't come back, he would be disobeying the king's orders, which was a crime that no one could afford, and after thinking about it, he finally came up with an idea to get the best of both worlds.

The Marquis of Marek brought together the leading figures of several great families and convened a military council. The Marquis Marquet first read the king's letter to the crowd, and then asked everyone to make their own proposals. Most people think that it is a pity to return to the army now, it has cost such a huge amount of manpower and financial resources, and it is unacceptable to go back without getting anything, but no one dares to say that they should not save the king.

Marquis Marrek saw that everyone could not come up with a practical solution, so he threw out his own ideas.

"Here's what I think. "I plan to divide my troops into two ways, one way to return to the rescue of Solandaniel, and the other way to pretend to retreat, and wait for the defenders of Sado City to think that we have withdrawn and then come back, I will definitely be able to kill them by surprise, I think this is the best way at present." ”

After listening to it, everyone felt that Marek's method was indeed good, but there was a key question, that is, who would return to the royal capital, and who would stay to launch a surprise attack on Sado?
