Chapter 42 Dawn

At dawn, the city of Thessaly and Larissa. This city, located between the Pilates Hills and the Thessaly Plain, is the most prosperous place in Rome, north of Corinth, south of Macedonia, and is also a place with little peace since the invasion of Latin. However, compared to before, there is no doubt that it was once a transit station for the silk transfer of Thebes. Now the old people here will recall the prosperous scene of the busy caravans using this place as a distribution center for goods, which has brought them amazing wealth. Unfortunately, it is no longer present and can only be said to be a topic of conversation after dinner. Since the Earl of Sarien competed for the throne, the city has been far worse than before, and has gradually been surpassed by Tanbei in the south.

However, at this moment, a large army in the Earl's territory slowly came to the bottom of the city. On the top of the city, the defenders of the Gafras family were on high alert. Under the cover of night, no one noticed that the strange army in front of him had arrived in the city gate. If the other party wanted to attack at night, the unprepared city of Larissa would inevitably suffer a great loss.

"What's going on?" On the city tower, the parents of the three major families of Thessaly looked down at the city and couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring. At this moment, the three most powerful nobles in Thessaly territory gathered here. If anything happens, the local forces of Thessaly will be caught in one fell swoop. These days, as the more and more winds came from Agrignon and Rusny, the great nobles who were still watching could not help but feel a little panicked.

"Gavras, how many defenders are there in our city now?" Earl of Bunonius, with a solemn expression, asked Lord Sesarien who was standing beside him. This was an old noble with a graceful demeanor. Even when facing such a situation, he was still calm. He was worthy of being the old noble of the previous dynasty. Even though he had already lost the competition in Constantinople, he still retained his former style.

On the other hand, the young Earl of Garrifs looked shocked, and he couldn't speak for a long time and seemed particularly disobedient. Finally, he calmed down and replied: "The two teams sent to find Hendriel have not come back yet, and there are less than 800 people in the city to defend." As the war expanded, the Pronian nobles from all over the country had mobilized all their forces to deploy on the long northern walls to prepare for the invasion of Epirus. Thessaly's great nobles secretly gathered in Larissa in advance, so there were not many soldiers defending the city. In a hurry, they had no time to mobilize any surrounding forces to rescue the place, and it was obvious that the other party outside the city had already completely blocked the road to Larissa to other places.

"It seems that the other party has prepared a long time ago and has known the situation in the city in advance. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to siege the city now. Who leaked the news?" The parents of Merinosen, who was a powerful soldier on the side, heard this and punched the city wall. According to his temper, he was furious and wanted to cut the traitor who leaked the news immediately. Now it is a dead end. The central life gate of the Sasaly fell into the opponent here, but they can only let the mermaid meat.

An atmosphere of despair enveloped the entire city of Larissa. Even the superiors showed such a pessimistic attitude. The soldiers in panic on the city walls were rioting. Although they were all elites who were the ones in a hundred guards, they were still worried and defeated the past discipline in the face of such a battle to trap the city.

However, Earl Gafras's words gave the sluggish soldiers a shot of heart.

"At present, only I personally led my troops out of the enemy's siege to Trikara for help will have the opportunity to escape from the current danger." As the lord of Saisalian, Gafras's volunteering and volunteering was undoubtedly inspiring. As soon as this statement was made, the Pronians under the command of the great nobles also volunteered.

"We are willing to break through the siege with Gafras to resolve the current dilemma."

Just as a group of people were eager to try, the Earl of Bunonius on the other side did not comment. He was the most famous among the three nobles, and in terms of seniority, he was also the elder of the other two, so his attitude was undoubtedly very critical.

"Hisser Bunonius..." The other two great nobles were waiting for him to speak, but the old man had not made any statement at all times.

a long time--

"Oh... I was a little distracted just now. Now I should find a way to solve the current dilemma, but what you said just now touched me deeply!" The elderly count came back from his thoughts, but said an inexplicable word that made the other two nobles and the others confused.

"What...what?"

"Of course it's the person who leaked the news."

After saying that, Earl Bunonius did not explain much, but his smile that was not easy to detect made some people present tremble in their hearts, but then the hidden murderous intent burst out and became stronger at this moment.

"His Excellency Bunonius, make a decision quickly! The most urgent task now is to follow the methods of Gafras to see if they can break through the siege. If the enemy outside is prepared, things will be bad." The younger Merinos' parents couldn't help but urge him. He wanted to go to war, but Earl Gavras had already volunteered and he couldn't say anything else.

Bunonius pondered for a moment, then nodded and looked at the Earl of Gafras who had volunteered before, and said, "Since that's the case, I'll ask you everything, Gafras."

Seeing that Count Bunonius also expressed support, the young Gavras parents nodded and said, "I will fulfill my mission. When I recall Trikara's cavalry troops, I will definitely be able to lift the siege of Larissa." Trikara, mentioned by Gavras, is an important town in the northwest of Larissa and the base of the army under Count Bunonius. There is an army of nearly 1,500 people, most of which are Latin cavalry loyal to the Bunonius family. They are undoubtedly a new force, but mobilizing them requires the old earl's note.

The Earl of Bunonius knew this naturally, so he handed the lambshes he had carried with him to Gafraschen in front of him, and said, "As long as they read the contents of this letter, Trikara's army will obey your command."
