"Well, it's the same needle and thread you used last time to sew?" Bernard didn't smile, and didn't pay attention to Lakoff's mockery of Nalant.
He vaguely remembered that after the last battle in the valley, Stella seemed to have mentioned that Nalant helped treat several seriously injured rangers. As a result, except for one of them, all of them miraculously survived.
Moreover, he was already very familiar with Nalant's strange thoughts.
Even when he saw Nalant answering so seriously, he really felt that there was something strange about all the girls.
"Yes, Lord Count!"
"Well, then go ahead!" Bernard nodded.
"Yes, Lord Earl!"
Immediately, Nalant returned to his team without looking back.
As for Lakov, he didn't give a damn the whole time, which made Lakov feel ridiculed and lonely, and he gritted his teeth.
When Narant returned to the team, more than a hundred horse-drawn carriages carrying soil finally completed loading.
This also means that the river filling work finally kicked off today.
"Let's begin!" The king waved to the messenger beside him!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Woohoo!
The next moment, a loud and long horn sounded in the empty field outside Maple Leaf City.
"Set off!"
Hearing the sound of the horn, Nalant and other young nobles leading the team immediately gave orders and began to lead their guards towards Maple Leaf City.
Because it was a siege, all the guards, except for the minor nobles, marched on foot.
While walking, a group of people did not form a military formation like those seen in previous movies and TV dramas, and they were so awe-inspiring and oppressive.
On the contrary, because they were all longbowmen, many small nobles did not equip their longbowmen with leather armor at all in order to save money.
As a result, the entire team of four to five thousand people were dressed in various colors and walked sparsely. They really looked a bit like beggars who had formed a group to go to Maple Leaf City to beg for food.
Of course, Narant had no control over what happened to the other guards. The people under him were lined up neatly and in excellent spirits.
In Nalant's team today, in addition to the long-range attack team responsible for five crossbows, there are also eleven longbowmen, forty barbarians, and a rescue team.
During the march, even the girls from Nalant's rescue team marched in an orderly manner.
Such a unique team naturally attracted the surprised eyes of many people in the rear. Except for a few earls such as Rakov, no one else had ever seen such a uniform team before.
"Bernard, that vassal boy of yours has done a good job in teaching his subordinates, and they can be so uniform!" At this time, even the king couldn't help but praise Bernard.
"Haha, Your Majesty, it's true. I praised that boy like this before. I also asked him how he could train these guards so uniformly. Your Majesty, do you know what this boy's answer was?" After hearing the compliment, Bernard
De, the Fengjun, also had a bright face and immediately smiled.
"How did you answer that?"
"This kid said he had some free time in the territory, so he thought of using this method to pass the time. Unexpectedly, he would achieve such an achievement just by training casually!" Bernard smiled slightly and said, Bernard also
He glanced sideways at Lakov and said, "Also, the guards of this boy Narant defeated the ten careless people Lakov bought from the Kingdom of Sand last time."
"Oh? The unintentional ones from the Kingdom of Sand are cruelly trained war slaves, but they can't even match their formation?" The king was suddenly surprised.
"That's right, His Majesty the King, the boy's team is just walking normally now. He also has a formation called marching forward. Once that formation is revealed, it can be said to be as powerful as a rainbow."
Bernard and the king were talking animatedly aside, but Lakov's face was a little livid at the moment, indicating that he had been exposed to scars.
But Bernard is telling the truth. He really can't refute it. The more he refutes, the more embarrassing he becomes.
"By the way, Bernard, let me see if that is a ballista in his team. You even lent him the ballista. Are you ready to settle on this daughter and husband?" At this moment, the king saw Nalan.
The five ballistas wrapped in tarpaulins in the special team continued to ask questions...
"Haha! Your Majesty, this still needs Stella's own opinion. As long as she is a vassal of Tulip, I will not interfere!" Bernard smiled heartily.
Everyone who heard this immediately looked towards Stella.
I saw that Stella's originally cold expression turned slightly unnatural. Fortunately, Stella was used to being focused on, so she could still remain calm at this moment.
However, as the scheming nobles, they could still detect some clues in it.
Everyone couldn't help but secretly thought that boy was lucky.
"It seems that I have no chance that time!" Seeing this, the king smiled and shook his head. He also very much hoped that the second prince could pursue Stella.
And as the king finished speaking, the heirs of the noble nobles around him felt envious and jealous again.
Of the two flowers in the Onyx Principality, it is very likely that one of them will be planted on Narante's cow dung, and no one can help but feel envious.
…
While the king and the others were talking and laughing, Nalant and others finally gradually approached Maple Leaf City.
"Little Nalant, when you get close to the city 1,200 meters away, you must speed up! Because at this distance, you have already entered the range of the trebuchet!"
At this moment, Andrew, who was not far away from Nalant, reminded him loudly.
When he saw Nalant's troops being so organized, he was really worried that this would be his first time on the battlefield and he would not understand siege warfare and suffer losses.
"Father, don't worry, I know and I will be careful!"
Nalant had actually been wary of the trebuchets from the Northern Principality for a long time.
The danger of this cover mission is that apart from the longbow fire after approaching, the greatest threat is the enemy's trebuchet.
Nalant had already observed with a telescope before. Although the Northern Principality team deliberately covered the small trebuchet on the city wall with a tarpaulin, clues could still be seen under the magnification of the telescope.
The reason why he covered the ballista was because he was worried that the target would be too obvious and the enemy would focus fire on it. He also brought with him forty barbarians who did not know how to attack from a distance, also because he was on guard against the trebuchet.
Woohoo!
And just as the two of them finished speaking, a loud horn sound suddenly came from Maple Leaf City ahead.
Immediately, groups of guards from the Northern Principality climbed up the city wall and took out longbows from their backs.
"Little Narant, start charging!" Upon seeing this, Andrew immediately waved to Narant.
The distance between them and the city wall at this moment was exactly about 1,200 meters.
When Andrew spoke up, other minor nobles also directed the team to disperse and run wildly!
"Okay, father!" Nalant nodded quickly, then looked at his subordinates, "Everyone, break up the formation and charge! Watch out for falling rocks!"
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving Nalant's order, the medical team and ten longbowmen began to run quickly.
The barbarians quickly approached several ballistas, and then pushed the ballistas forward with the long-range attack team.
As for Nalant, he quickly ran to Vivian and Winnie.
"kill!"
Suddenly, the team of four to five thousand people began to run wildly amid shouts of killing.
Although they are not in close contact with the enemy now, shouting when charging can reduce the fear of the guards to a great extent.
Boom, boom, boom!
Just after everyone started running wildly, a terrifying muffled sound came from the front.
As Narant who had witnessed the launch of trebuchets, he knew very well that this was the start of a large trebuchet in the city.
