Li Ang sat calmly in the corner of the military tent, looking at Justus who was sandwiched between the two Meitengheim tough men, and expressed that he still planned to attack at the entrance of the military tent.
Indeed, Justus did not let his men participate in the attack all day long. His men were actually very uneasy.
It's not that they are suspicious of anything, the main thing is that they feel uncomfortable - the whole army is attacking the city, and they are just standing in formation to watch a show, which is very embarrassing.
Even if you go out paddling and catching fish, it's better than standing still...
After Justus came back, they originally wanted to express their opinions, but they were ordered not to go near the military tent, so as not to disturb the Governor's discussion of national affairs with His Excellency Renier...
So they probably supported the other governor who came to scold people - when they saw Livius coming here angrily, they didn't even come to report the news.
This is not because they want to change jobs, but mainly because they want to avoid being beaten--Livius not only had a livid face when he came over, but also had a whip in his hand.
Governor Livius originally had some accompanying guards behind him, but these people winked at each other at the knights on Justus's side, and then the subordinates of the two governors gathered together, without even approaching the military tent.
The guards on both sides are obviously very sensible, and no one wants to get involved in the quarrel between the two governors...
"Justus! You bastard! You don't want to join the war? That's not how you preserve your strength, right?!"
Before entering the military tent, the curses were already coming.
It seems that Governor Livius has a very bad temper.
"It's about to be captured today... uh?"
Livius Knuckles broke into the military tent and saw Justus sitting in the middle. He started to criticize, but stopped suddenly.
The whip in his hand clattered to the ground.
Because, two big swords have clamped his neck.
Well, clip.
Because the word "struggle" is not enough to express this scene - the lord brought Kloze and the others into the military tent. Now this huge luxury tent is filled with tough men, all of them staring at Livius eagerly.
The strong men carried him with all their hands and feet, lifting his feet 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 is because his married life is not harmonious. Anyway, at this age, the top of his head is completely bald, and only a few stray hairs remain on his temples.
This makes him look fierce and vicissitudes of life...
After being clamped between two big swords, he didn't dare to move at all, only his eyes were rolling.
"Now, you probably don't plan to attack the city... Don't tell me that you two together can't command those little lords!"
Li Ang was sitting next to him, shaving his nails with a small knife in his hand.
Glancing at the two governors who could only communicate with their eyes, Li Ang grinned and showed his white teeth. "Don't worry... I have to go back alive, so I won't hurt you - as long as you retreat."
White Deer Fortress finally got through this day.
But tomorrow... will we still have such good luck?
Amy thought.
Just this afternoon, she shot a live enemy for the first time - the first time she killed someone with her own hands.
She watched as the crossbow bolt shot out of her hand and hit one Imperial Gladiator in the neck. The enemy fell to the city gate on his back.
Amy didn't feel uncomfortable, she was just doing her duty, or in other words, saving herself.
Even now her heart is still beating like a drum.
In fact, when Imperial Gladiator climbed onto the city wall, Amy had already made plans to set fire to the city - she did not want to fall into the hands of the enemy.
Amy Although she is young, she knows what will happen to a young and beautiful girl after becoming a prisoner of war...
Even the daughter of a nobleman...
In other words, just because she is the daughter of a noble, the outcome may be more difficult to accept than death.
But at the moment when the second city wall was about to fall, a horn sound came from the forest!
The horn sound of Horn Summon Ranger Corps!
The moment he heard the horn sound, Amy almost trembled and ordered, "Counterattack! Drive them all down!"
But after the enemy retreated, no reinforcements appeared in the forest...
Amy was not disappointed. She knew that the horn sound that lasted for more than ten minutes was a kind of reinforcement.
This deception reminded her of a person - the young lord who asked his father to serve as 'Executive Director', used gold mines as bait, and defrauded 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 shipped two large boxes of dinars back to White Deer Fortress. He was as happy as a child – his father said that he had finally saved a dowry for Amy, and could also equip his subordinates with better equipment.
Later, that person founded 'Wheat Fragrance International Group' and led businessmen to the battlefield...
That was the first time Amy had seen this kind of operation, and it simply opened the door to a new world for her - it turned out that after having the first start-up capital, business activities could be so fancy!
Even war can be a means of doing business?
Then, after sending people to Wheat Fragrance Territory for 'investigation', Amy understood.
Wheat Fragrance Territory's lord actually deceived everyone. His business and his group company are all means to control people's hearts.
He used his interests to tightly tie his subordinates, subjects, allies, and businessmen to his hands.
The newly built Wheat Fragrance Territory, those Ailedge subjects brought over from White Deer Fortress, or those refugees recovered from the wild, in just two or three months have become extremely loyal because of their shares, and they are proud to be the subjects of Wheat Fragrance Territory.
This is something Lionheart Kingdom most nobles cannot do in their lifetime...
Therefore, Amy also learned the lesson, opened a grain and oil company, and even tried to take action against Wheat Fragrance Territory - forcing Wheat Fragrance Territory to buy grain at a high price.
She thought that the lord would have some counterattack methods, so that she could learn more, but she didn't expect that he not only accepted it calmly, but also paid the money happily.
This made Amy a little uneasy. She felt that she should apologize - he was her father's ally and partner, and she should not have used such petty tactics against his allies.
In today's war, the trumpet sound was most likely caused by that lord. Most people would definitely not use this seemingly ridiculous little trick on the battlefield.
It can only be the people he sent - only the people from Wheat Fragrance Territory can get to White Deer Fortress so quickly.
This is how deception should be used... Everyone in White Deer Fortress knows that the moment they heard the horn sound, their morale almost instantly became like a rainbow.
The enemy immediately retreated to the city.
If I can keep White Deer Fortress, I must thank him... and apologize.
But his Wheat Fragrance Territory disappeared yesterday. Judging from Wheat Fragrance Territory's military strength... I'm afraid the odds are against him...
In today's battle alone, White Deer Fortress lost one hundred and fifty-two brave soldiers.
Amy counts clearly.
The loss of the Bacchus Empire is at least three times this amount.
This is war...
Father Godric never allowed himself to participate in war. He always said, "It is indeed necessary for girls to practice martial arts for self-defense, but war is always a man's business."
But as the daughter of Lord White Deer Fortress, Amy knows many young knights, and those knights often describe wars to her.
But the real war is completely different from the romantic stories that knights usually tell.
There is no duel between warriors, no heroic dialogue, and no sympathy between knights...
There is only killing, blood, sword flashes, arrow rain, and countless corpses.
The brave man who blew the trumpet in the afternoon may have also...
Amy once again walked up to the tower in the night, overlooking the enemy camp one mile away.
Wait...
Amy rubbed his eyes and looked carefully again.
The enemy seems to be retreating?
What's going on?
The enemy seems to be really retreating overnight - the Bacchus Empire troops that originally surrounded White Deer Fortress are slowly retreating away, and they have even begun to tear down their tents!
"Come here! Everyone is on standby! Prepare for counterattack!"
Amy was trembling all over. She didn't know what was happening, but it was obvious that the enemy did not intend to besiege the city!
