Amy, who had been observing on White Deer Fortress, naturally saw this situation - most of the enemy troops had evacuated, and only a small half of the enemies outside were left, and the remaining enemy troops seemed to be having internal strife.

Thousands of people gathered in a group, and their swords seemed to be pointing towards the dozens of people in the middle, while the small team in the middle was slowly approaching White Deer Fortress.

This situation is obviously not for siege...

Approaching to a place about two hundred meters away from White Deer Fortress, a man in the small team picked up a spear left on the battlefield, took out a flag from his body and threaded it on the spear.

Black background white Griffin flag.

That's Lord Li Ang from Wheat Fragrance Territory.

Amy felt great joy in his heart, Goddess actually responded to him!

However, just when the flag was revealed, the gap that the Bacchus Empire army originally made was blocked again.

The one blocking the road is General Agason.

"Let's disperse, let's disperse, everyone, stop crowding around... If you go over again, White Deer Fortress will shoot arrows..."

The lord reminded Agason and his men very kindly, with a caring tone and a gentle attitude, even smiling.

"Your Excellency went into our army camp alone to take risks. Your courage is so admirable... Who are you?"

General Agason asked seriously, and looked at Li Ang's face carefully, as if he intended to keep this person's appearance in mind.

"General Agason, my name is not important... What is important is, what are you going to do? Continue the siege?"

Li Ang's heart skipped a beat and he pulled out his sword, thinking that the general was going to take a desperate risk.

"No, you will definitely become the empire's enemy. I just want to remember your name... and besides..."

Agason spread his hands to show that he meant no harm, and looked at the two governors who were a little embarrassed as they were being driven off the ground by the macho men.

"Just remember, my name is Li Ang. When you all retreat, I will naturally release the two governors."

The lord took back his sword and said seriously.

Agason looked at that side carefully Griffin banner: "I hope you keep your word! Everyone, stand back!"

He led the team back to Justus's camp.

The other Imperial troops retreated with him.

Li Ang waited for them all to retreat to the camp a few hundred meters away before continuing to approach White Deer Fortress.

A soldier on the city wall put down two hanging baskets. "Sir! The city gate has been blocked... Come up in the hanging basket!"

This is the voice of Amy.

"Lord Li Ang, I don't know how to thank you..."

Amy's voice was very cheerful, his face was flushed with excitement, and he hurriedly pulled Li Ang out of the hanging basket.

"Just stop asking me to buy food at high prices..."

Li Ang smiled, and his casual words made Amy blush even more.

"Sir, they still haven't left..." Kloze was the last one to be hoisted up. He looked back at the Bacchus Empire's camp, feeling a little uneasy.

"The ones who wanted to leave had already withdrawn early. These two generals will only obey Emperor Marius's orders. They will definitely not leave before their emperor or marshal orders the withdrawal... These are two smart men with principles, and they are also the most troublesome enemies... They may be plotting Wheat Fragrance Territory's idea."

Li Ang does not expect Kloze to understand, he is speaking for Amy.

"Amy, send people out of the city, type Godric's banner, send them two barrels of wine, specify to give it to General Agason."

"Ah? Why?" Kloze doesn't understand, why do you still give wine to the enemy?

Amy tilted his head and thought for a moment, then laughed, "Lord Li Ang, it's really special to push back the enemy in this way..."

Li Ang was a little surprised and looked at Amy carefully. He didn't expect that this little girl is really both beautiful and smart. She is truly the darling of God. No wonder Godric dared to leave White Deer Fortress in her care after leaving.

Not long after, a few brave archers carried Godric's Three Lions Banner and delivered two large barrels of ale to the camp where Agason was located.

And just a few minutes later, General Agason ordered to break camp and retreat.

Before retreating, he took a deep look at White Deer Fortress, gritted his teeth and smashed the wine barrel outside White Deer Fortress in full view of everyone.

"Lord Li Ang! This kind of conspiracy cannot be called heroic!"

The shouts of Agason can even be heard on the walls of White Deer Fortress.

Li Ang shook his head. When he saw the enemy retreating, there was no joy on his face. "This Agason is indeed a big trouble..."

He asked Amy to send wine to Agason, but he was actually providing a handle for General Clerion or other Bax lords...

White Deer Fortress failed to be captured, and two governors were kidnapped. Someone must be responsible for this. In fact, all the lords present in the Bacchus Empire will bear some responsibility.

As for those who could be commanded by the two governors, they had already obeyed and evacuated first. Naturally, those who remained were political opponents of the two governors, or at least people who were not members of the same faction.

There are many conversations between Agason and Li Ang, so the lord created a suspicion that "Agason may be collaborating with the enemy", giving other lords a chance to be exempted from liability, and also giving the two governors a chance...

Because Agason is well suited to take the blame, both in terms of status and political leanings - the two governors will be put back sooner or later, and after they return, will they use these two barrels of wine to put the blame on Agason?

In order to reduce their responsibilities, even if everyone knows that Agason cannot cooperate with the enemy, they will do this...

This is the normal state of political struggle.

There is no right or wrong, only interests.

Therefore, Agason must express his position - smash the wine barrel and retreat immediately, otherwise more "gifts" will be sent to his camp, and now he does not dare to attack the city alone.

Soon, the city was deserted.

The enemy will probably not retreat too far. They will probably camp dozens of miles away and wait, but at least they will not attack until their marshal Governor Kairos receives the news and sends back military orders.

And Kairos went to Serenmis - Even if Kairos, a conservative in the old empire, was ruthless and ignored his colleagues, it would probably take a week after the news spread and the military orders came back.

By that time, reinforcements from White Deer Fortress had also arrived.

Just to prevent the enemy from looting Wheat Fragrance Territory during this period - this is another intention to let Ryman guard the road of Wheat Fragrance Territory.

Before the kidnapping is successful, the enemy cannot be allowed to discover Wheat Fragrance Territory, otherwise Justus cannot be trusted and the kidnapping will not be successful.

After the kidnapping is successful, the enemy will know that Wheat Fragrance Territory is in the hands of Li Ang, so be prepared for the enemy to quickly attack Wheat Fragrance Territory with a small force - because this may cause the enemy to exchange Wheat Fragrance Territory for two governors.

In fact, this was the reason why Agason finally asked Li Ang's name. He must have thought of it, so he stayed in the camp and did not leave. However, Li Ang used two barrels of wine in exchange for a little time and space.

"Amy, the war is not over yet, we still need to be prepared every day - especially keep an eye on the governor, don't let anyone escape, Bacchus Empire there are many spies, don't let anyone enter the city."

Li Ang gave the instructions seriously.

Amy nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "Yeah, I will keep a close eye on him."

"Well, I have to go back to Wheat Fragrance Territory. Don't worry, reinforcements will come soon. They can't capture White Deer Fortress."

Li Ang also nodded, stood up and left.

"Wait a minute, Lord Li Ang, are you willing to be my teacher?"

After Li Ang stood in the gondola, Amy leaned on the city wall and stuck his head out, his eyes seemed to be filled with anticipation.
