The dark crowd looked like it could never be less than a thousand people!

Risadiran He didn't even dare to ask for the carriage, so he picked up the dead man's face and ran away, fighting and escaping along the way, and suffered many injuries.

And the bandit army has been chasing him relentlessly.

It was difficult to escape the pursuit while carrying an individual, but Risadiran couldn't leave behind this Dead Face. Besides, this situation obviously meant that this Dead Face was an important character, so he gritted his teeth and braced for the wounds all over his body, and relied on his excellent body skills to continuously shuttle through the woods to barely escape.

Then, he led the people back to Wheat Fragrance Territory as quickly as possible.

Trublen is very close to Wheat Fragrance Territory, only a hundred miles away. Risadiran only rushed back for a short while. Since the enemy has been chasing them, they should arrive soon!

Risadiran did not miss any details. He is a smart man and knows that the more detailed the information at this time, the better it will be for Li Ang's judgment.

Li Ang was not too panicked at this time. According to Risadiran, these people should be related to the gangsters seen by the White Deer Fortress archers.

As long as it's not non-human!

There is a beacon warning, White Deer Fortress reinforcements should arrive soon. As long as we can delay for a few days, Horn Summon Ranger Corps or other reinforcements will also come.

Li Ang did not blame Risadiran for attracting the enemy - the task of bringing back the dead face was assigned by Li Ang. Risadiran had done his best not to leave the dead face and run away.

Of course, the main reason why Risadiran works so hard is because it has been more than two months since he last took 'Hundred Day Soul Severing Pill' - he must bring back that dead face to 'extend his life'.

Sighing, Li Ang threw a horse dung egg that had been prepared to Noldo Elves: "Go and rest, I..."

But before he finished speaking, Risadiran's movement of raising his head to swallow the medicine suddenly stopped, his eyes were staring straight at the sky, and the pill seemed to be stuck in his throat.

"Ahem!... Sir! Look...White Deer Fortress over there!"

Li Ang looked up to the east, and over White Deer Fortress, huge black smoke had begun to sweep upward...

White Deer Fortress was also attacked at the same time!

Now there's trouble.

Seeing White Deer Fortress's beacon fire, Li Ang realized that the real war may have just begun...

Based on what Risadiran experienced, this matter was obviously caused by the Bacchus Empire, but we don't know who the collaborator was.

More than a month ago, while the war was going on, the enemy was already plotting Wheat Fragrance Territory.

But its ultimate goal should be to blockade and capture the western fortress White Deer Fortress.

It's just that when the enemy planned to take advantage of Wheat Fragrance Territory's entire army to seize the empty village more than a month ago, he probably didn't expect that there would be soldiers from White Deer Fortress stationed there. After discovering the enemy's traces, Amy happened to send a large number of people over to eat and drink.

Judging from the camp Risadiran encountered, the enemy may not have enough manpower at the time, so they did not take action but changed their plan.

Their new plan should be to seize the time to recruit people, and then cooperate with the main force of the Bacchus Empire to seize White Deer Fortress in the few days just after the war, when most of the kingdom lords are returning to their respective territories.

This happens to be an empty period of time, which is better than the opportunity during the ongoing war - all the lords are on their way back to their territories, and it is difficult for White Deer Fortress and Wheat Fragrance Territory to ask for help from outside.

At the same time, this is also the time when the overall vigilance of the kingdom is at its lowest. Just after the war, everyone will have a misunderstanding - after both sides retreat, all the lords will disband.

The lords of the Lionheart Kingdom have indeed been disbanded, but Bacchus Empire has a different military system. If they turn to attack White Deer Fortress at this time, they will catch Lionheart Kingdom by surprise.

In order to prevent Godric, an experienced veteran, from leading his troops back, those people also lured Godric to Crow's Perch Village.

--They should have succeeded. Godric didn't even attend the knighting ceremony. His wife's illness should have been caused by these people.

So, the current situation is that White Deer Fortress and Wheat Fragrance Territory are attacked by the army at the same time, and it is very likely that reinforcements will not be found for a while.

"Sir! A large number of bandits were found by the river ten miles to the west. They seem to be resting by the river. There are no flags! There should be thousands of them!"

The reply was Sammer, and I haven't even breathed yet.

Li Ang waved his hand and asked him to return to the team. As a scout, Sammer is indeed better than most people in this era. At least he can bring back the enemy's location and approximate number of people - but the value is still limited. It is basically unclear what kind of troops the enemy has, what powerful troops it has, and what special features it has.

"Sir, I will go to Ralph's camp immediately to ask for help!"

Sarah reacted quickly. After understanding the situation, he immediately jumped on his horse and headed north.

The other lords and their troops don't know where they are now. Ralph's rangers are probably the only reinforcements with fast mobility that can be found now.

Sarah is already taking the initiative to think and solve problems. This is her job as External Affairs Officer, and it is also the self-driving force brought by profit sharing.

The positive effects brought by Li Ang's business methods are gradually being reflected.

The horn has sounded several times, and everyone is getting ready for battle.

The swords were unsheathed, the armors were ready, and the chaotic sounds of heavy footsteps were incomparable. This beautiful village gradually became filled with a chilling atmosphere.

All the combatants are already in place, and the new recruits are all dressed up and waiting for orders.

Their equipment was actually quite good. All of them were wearing neat heraldic chainmail robes and light helmets. Their various weapons were also standard weapons of the regular army - Li Ang had customized two hundred sets before and spent all the 100,000 dinars he obtained through the first issuance of shares.

Although their proficiency is not as good as Ansen, at least they look like a neat army on the surface.

There were about a hundred people, most of them new recruits.

The new recruits were inevitably a little panicked, but they seemed to be very determined. Even the citizens who had not been selected to join the army had already taken up arms, and no one ran away.

Of course they have reasons not to escape - this is the real role of Wheat Fragrance Group shares!

The lord worked hard to make money before and allocated shares to all members. It was at this time that it took effect.

Lesley divided half of the previous profits of 'Wheat Fragrance International', and then distributed dividends according to the number of shares held by everyone.

Just yesterday, the golden dinar has been distributed to every citizen - every citizen has a share, and the soldiers have at least two shares.

Even if you only hold one share, this dividend is higher than the income of the residents in the past few years!

This is only the first year-end dividend.

Starting from this year, it will be distributed once at the end of every month, and there will also be a contribution reward at the end of the year - the 'entertainment clubs' and 'offices' established in various places by businessmen who have paid large deposits are still providing a steady stream of income to Wheat Fragrance International.

With such benefits, who is willing to give up his citizenship?

There will be no problem with the morale, morale, and loyalty of the military. The problem now is just that the gap in strength is too large.

The crossbowmen went to recruit mercenaries and did not come back.

There are only a hundred people in hand.

Meitengheim Great Swordsman,10/10; There are only a few that can be called elite.

Pendor's heavy-armed archers, 30/30; these are the group of new recruits who were brought to the Sava River battlefield before. Although they have never fought, they have gained experience in a few months. In addition, they are well-equipped, so they have been upgraded to heavy-armed archers.

Pendor Militia,62/62; In fact, this is a new recruit who was just recruited yesterday and has not trained for a day.

They can be called militia by the system entirely because of their equipment - they all have the equipment of elite armed infantry, and they are all equipped with hybrid swords and light crossbows. They originally planned to equip them with compound bows, but they didn't have time to train, so they had to use crossbows first.

How can a hundred or so people, most of whom are new recruits, fight against an army of thousands of people?
