"They're coming."

I don’t know who said it, but everyone who heard it couldn’t help but tense up and stare into the distance.

The enemy appeared at the end of the field of vision. The first thing he saw was a heavily armed knight troop. They were riding tall horses and gradually approached the border town.

Knights have always been powerful and unattainable in the eyes of civilians.

Now hundreds of knights appeared all of a sudden, approaching step by step with a murderous aura, which was really scary.

Kadir couldn't help but hold the new musket in his hand tightly, and told himself in his heart that the knights had nothing to fear. As long as they had muskets and cannons in hand, they would be able to defeat them.

He had obviously fought against undead monsters on the city wall, so he could be considered a soldier with combat experience, but Qadir's heart had been beating wildly since he assembled in formation, and it was difficult to calm down.

Even Joel in the first class seemed to perform better than Kadir, the class leader, which made him feel ashamed and frustrated.

That kid was clearly a coward known to everyone before!

The reason why I feel nervous may be related to the fact that the enemy this time is human.

In any case, the undead monsters in winter all have monster appearances, kill everyone on sight, are extremely ferocious, and are the greatest enemies of mankind.

Therefore, there is no psychological barrier to attacking them.

But now it is like killing each other, and most people will instinctively produce a kind of psychological resistance.

In order to calm down his mood, Kadir recalled the pre-war lecture given by the lord not long ago.

Duke Eddie is spreading rumors everywhere that the lord has royal blood, intending to frame the lord and then take advantage of the border town.

Regardless of whether this rumor is true or not, if Duke Eddie really takes control of Border Guard Town, will everyone live a good life?

The events of last winter were enough to prove that Duke Eddie didn't care about everyone's life or death.

Intercepting the Templars, arbitrarily raising food prices, etc. Like most nobles, that guy only thinks about his own interests.

Now, under the governance of the lord, Border Guard Town is getting better and better.

Many people have found jobs, and their wages are never in arrears. They are paid in full and on time. They can say goodbye to the days when they were often hungry.

Kadir had heard that nobles in some places would deliberately delay payment. It was not because they had no money, but because they did not want to pay and found various reasons to deliberately find fault.

However, the other party is a noble, powerful, and the common people who have worked hard in vain know that they cannot afford to offend them, so they often have to admit that they are unlucky.

More importantly, the Lord successfully solved the long-standing problem in Border Guard Town - the curse of Kazitu.

Affected by the curse, the land in Border Guard Town became more and more desolate. It was the lord who found a way to rejuvenate the land.

Due to the military system, Kadir had worked in the fields. Watching a large field of green wheat seedlings grow smoothly, his excitement was self-evident.

Because of this, many farmers regard the Lord as the savior of Border Guard Town. Kadir believes that this is not an exaggeration at all.

As long as the lord is still there, everyone's life will definitely get better and better. He will not allow Duke Eddie to capture the border town, capture and take away the lord.

Yes! Never allowed!

Thinking of this, Kadir felt that he was now full of courage and his eyes became firm.

"They seem to have slowed down." Joel suddenly said.

Hearing the sound, Kadir looked into the distance and saw that the advance of Dongsheng Fortress' army had indeed slowed down a lot.

"They should be waiting for the troops behind." Kadir responded, "I heard from the lord that what we are facing this time is an army of two thousand people."

"hiss--"

One of his comrades took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice: "We have only 400 troops of two or two thousand troops. Can we defeat them?"

"Don't worry." Kadir raised the musket in his hand, "We have the new weapon invented by the lord, we will not lose."

For some reason, when he saw someone performing worse than himself, he actually felt a little bit proud.

"A group of strange guys came to the front from the back." Joel said again.

Kadir turned his head and looked again, and saw the knights spreading out to both sides, giving up the space in the middle.

Behind them, a group of people wearing various equipment came to the front of the knights. They did not ride horses, and the formation was very chaotic. Four or five people gathered together and walked forward, gradually occupying the front of the battlefield.

"They are mercenaries, ruthless people who make a living by fighting. They kill people without blinking an eye. If they are allowed to attack the town, many innocent people will definitely be killed."

Qadir had heard that when two armies fight, the city of the defeated side will inevitably be looted, and mercenaries are the main players involved in the looting.

Hearing this, the frightened comrade just now couldn't help but swallow.

At this time, a knight broke away from the army and rode towards the border town.

"An enemy is coming!"

Joel looked surprised and quickly picked up the musket in his hand, ready to shoot at any time.

"Don't start grabbing yet!"

How could one person rush over to kill him? Kadir quickly raised his hand to stop Joel, and when he took a closer look, he found that the knight was holding a white flag high in his hand.

"That's the envoy sent by the other side to persuade us to surrender."

I heard that before one party launches an attack on the other party, it will send envoys to persuade them to surrender. This is a routine procedure.

Sure enough, soon there were messengers running behind and shouting, reminding everyone not to shoot. They were the messengers.

Not far away, Viscount Jarvis was holding a telescope to observe the situation on the opposite side. Watching the enemy enter the 1,200-meter area, he put down the telescope and ordered: "Artillery team, be ready to fire."

The reason why it was so clear was because he sent people to mark various distances on the battlefield in advance and hid them.

"yes!"

The artillery team captain Blue immediately issued various orders, and the artillerymen quickly loaded gunpowder and shells as they had done in previous training, and then adjusted the muzzle firing angle.

Soon, the five artillery pieces were ready and ready to fire at any time.

After the winter ended, the number of cannons was not increased, only the cannon lent to the lizardmen was brought back.

It takes five people to operate one artillery, and five guns means twenty-five people.

Therefore, some of the soldiers organized into the artillery team were temporarily assigned to the musketry team to use old muskets to participate in the battle, while the rest were responsible for carrying gunpowder and shells.

After a while, the envoy rode up to the front of the defense line, put down the white flag in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty the Duke sent a message, asking the Marquis of Aisen to obey the will of the new King White Wells and to lay down his arms and surrender now. The Duke
