Watson, who was hiding in the shadows, found that the enemy army had suddenly stopped advancing, and they didn't quite understand it, but their task was to contain the enemy army, and since the enemy army was no longer marching, they didn't need to attack for the time being.

As for the scouts who went to the city to investigate, Watson didn't plan to pay attention to them. All he knew was that his mission was to contain the army.

Link didn't move, either, because the enemy hadn't moved within Link's attack range, and of course, this attack was the attack of the trees.

This news is definitely good news for Cross.

There is so much food in Blackwater that it takes a lot of time to get it all onto the ship.

......

Cross and Nya arrived at the fortress on the north bank, where they also noticed an anomaly in the enemy's army, and the flying dust was greatly reduced, indicating that the enemy army did not continue to advance the army.

"The enemy doesn't seem to be moving, do you want Watson and them to stop moving?" asked Nia, who was standing on the Stronghold.

"No, Watson and they're smart, they stopped moving when they saw the enemy stopping, otherwise the enemy would have been in chaos right now. ”

Nia felt that made sense, and she nodded in agreement.

Cross knew that Watson would not act rashly, after all, Watson was the chief of a tribe and had a lot of combat experience, and he knew what our army needed most now.

What Cross is really worried about is Link, and he is ready to find an opportunity to call Link back to his side.

At this time, Nia made a new discovery.

"Lord Cross, there are a few enemies coming here, presumably scouts. ”

"Your eyesight is much better than that of a human. Cross lamented that he had only seen a small puff of smoke.

"What are we going to do? Are we going to kill those people?"

Cross shook his head.

"Do you know why the enemy doesn't dare to advance?"

"Because they don't know about us. ”

"Yes, but that's just the most superficial reason.

The real reason why the enemy did not dare to advance was related to the sensuality of their commander, who was clearly a cautious person, and against such an enemy, we used psychological tactics precisely to stall for time. ”

Nia still didn't quite understand, "So what are we going to do?"

"We're going to just stand like this, don't show any panic, and we're going to let the scouts know that even if we're dealing with hundreds of enemies, we're just doing business as usual.

The scout will report this to their commander, and as a cautious commander, after learning this information, he will most likely think more, such as an ambush or something.

In that case, we can delay for a while. ”

Nia pressed her finger to her lips, "But, Lord Cross, I don't think the enemy will necessarily think about it that much, and after the scout returns to report, the enemy will probably attack directly." ”

"Then what we're going to do next is to get the enemy tangled. ”

With that, Cross took off his armor, put down his weapon, and sat down leisurely at the head of the city.

He patted the right spot with his right hand and motioned to Nia with his eyes, "Come." ”

Nia sat down obediently, and Cross took the opportunity to remove Nia's headscarf, and two small furry ears poked out.

"Hey!" Nya instinctively covered her ears with her hands and looked at Cross aggrievedly.

Cross pressed Nia's hands down, "That's all." It's tactics. ”

Nia puffed out her cheeks with a reluctant expression.

......

Soon, Cross saw the scouts too, walking in front of them with three human soldiers, followed by seven or eight Antara goblins.

The scouts stopped suddenly, apparently seeing Cross and Nia sitting at the head of the city.

"Two children, do you want to get them back?"

"Get them back and let Lord Charlie ask them for information. ”

Two human scouts were about to move forward, but were stopped by another man.

"Wait, don't you notice anything different?"

"What are you talking about?"

"These two humans, haven't you noticed anything different!"

The two scouts looked closely at the two people who were leisurely at the head of the city, and suddenly exclaimed in unison, "That girl is half human!"

"I also saw that half-human girl, you can help me, is that boy Silver-Eyed Cross?"

The two scouts were stunned by the "Silver-Eyed Cross !!," and the Antara Goblins behind them were also flustered when they heard the title.

In the Kingdom of Seajarda, not many people know the title of Silver-Eyed Cross, and only those who live on the border with the Quesman Empire will know about it.

But just last night, the title 'Silver-Eyed Cross' spread almost all of Seajarda's army.

When the Kingdom of Seatta captured Blackwater for the second time, the captured soldiers threatened Seatta's army from time to time, "Silver-Eyed Cross will kill you all, just as he killed those scavengers!"

The soldiers of Seatta thought it was crazy and ignored it.

But these words reached the ears of the Supreme Commander of the Seatta army, Sephiroth, who asked the captives for details, and it was during that time that several Goblins in Antara who had fled back also reported the annihilation of the entire army, they did not know the name of the enemy, but they knew the enemy's physical characteristics, that is, the Silver Eye.

So, Sephiroth began to investigate Cross Crane, and the day before yesterday came to the conclusion that the boy with silver eyes was Silver-eyed Cross, and if you encounter him, if you are not absolutely sure that you can kill him, please retreat immediately.

Such a conclusion was conveyed to each unit in the form of a military proclamation the day before yesterday, and in the early hours of this morning, Charlie's troops received this proclamation.

And the troops of Blackwater Town, which had already been destroyed, naturally had no chance to receive such information.

As for how Sephiroth came to this conclusion, no one knows, and even some battle-hardened Seatta veterans think it is a sign of Sephiroth's weakness, and they will not take this announcement to heart.

......

The scouts were still tormented, they couldn't make a decision, because they couldn't be sure that the city was headed by Silver-Eyed Cross himself, and they didn't know that Silver-Eye was a very special sign among humans.

In the case of uncertainty, it is natural to hesitate, because, whether you report or not, you will be unlucky.

At this time, Cross also felt strange, he did not understand why the scout suddenly stopped advancing, so he planned to take this opportunity to call Link back.

"Link!" shouted Cross.

But this shout frightened the scouts and goblins into running back.
