"Yes, Your Highness!" Several iron guards quickly pursued Nalant.
Originally, the eldest prince was planning to ask the messenger to blow the horn in response, so that today's siege battle could begin.
But now seeing the appearance of those noble heirs, he could only grit his teeth and hold back the prepared response.
He hates Narant so much now. If it weren't for this guy, then his first command would have gone perfectly.
Then, with all the petty vassals and noble heirs dumbfounded, Nalant rode his war horse towards Maple Leaf City, while more than a dozen King's Iron Guard cavalry behind him desperately pursued him.
As time passed by, Nalant was getting closer and closer to Maple Leaf City.
Two thousand meters, one thousand five hundred meters... one thousand meters, five hundred meters...
"What...what does Sir Narante want to do? Does he not want his life?"
"Wait a minute, have you noticed that Nalant seems to have approached the city wall more than 500 meters away!"
"Yes, why didn't the soldiers of the Northern Principality on the city wall attack him? Even the Iron Guards cavalry seemed to be a little scrupulous and didn't dare to get close!"
"Is it because the number of people is too small that the Northern Principality is reluctant to waste the trebuchet's bullets?"
"Probably not! Could it be that what Sir Narante just said is true?"
When Nalant approached Maple Leaf City, which was more than 500 meters away, the jaws of all the young nobles and young heirs almost dropped.
A few days ago, this distance of five to six hundred meters was obviously the most feared position for everyone, because this was the area covered by the secret technique of the Northern Principality's small trebuchet.
But now the imagined intensive attack did not appear. Instead, Nalant was still approaching without anyone else, as if the outside of Maple Leaf City had become his Nalant's back garden.
Compared with Nalant, the pursuing Iron Guards cavalry in the rear hesitated and slowed down their pursuit.
"Asshole!" The eldest prince gritted his teeth and cursed when he saw this scene, his face uncertain.
At this moment, he also vaguely felt something was wrong, why did the defenders of Maple Leaf City let Nalant approach the city wall without any hindrance.
You must know that not reacting at this time will obviously boost the morale of the Agate Principality.
If Earl Brock or the military commander in the city had any sense, they would definitely not allow such a thing to happen.
Even if the attack is ineffective, there still needs to be a violent response.
"Is the city really empty?"
The eldest prince had a bad feeling in his heart.
Woohoo!
At this moment, the trumpet sound came to the eldest prince's ears again.
This is another inquiry from the king who has not received a response from him.
Hearing this call, the eldest prince's expression became tangled. If he didn't get asked this time, then there would definitely be messengers coming to ask about the situation later.
"Is there really no one in the city?"
As if in response to the eldest prince, at this moment, Nalant had already galloped to the moat of the city wall.
As long as you continue forward for more than fifty meters, you can reach the foot of the city wall.
The eldest prince's heart felt cold when he saw this. At this moment, all luck was gone.
However, he had previously refuted Nalant's proposal in full view of the public.
If this matter spreads, he may become a joke in the future.
With his face ashen, the eldest prince couldn't help but turn his gaze to Tony to see what Tony's reaction was.
As a result, I glanced over and saw that Tony was also gritting his teeth and looking at him a little weakly.
Of course Tony was lying. Now that it has been proven that what Nalant said before is true, he and the eldest prince will be laughed at by other young people in the future. More importantly, this may greatly affect the eldest prince's view of himself in the future.
.
"No! I absolutely can't let this happen!" Tony gritted his teeth and kept thinking about countermeasures in his mind. He couldn't let the eldest prince think he was stupid.
"That's right! Since the city is empty, if His Highness is the first to climb the city wall, and then let him set up the flag of the Agate Principality above the front gate..." Suddenly, Tony had a flash of inspiration and thought of an excellent countermeasure.
"Your Highness!" Tony saw that the eldest prince was about to give an order to the messenger to report the situation here, and he quickly stopped him.
"Tony, what's going on?" The eldest prince turned his head gloomily.
"His Royal Highness, I have an idea that will make you shine today..." At that moment, Tony began to encourage in a low voice.
His idea is simple, that is, to make a time difference.
At this moment, everyone on the other two city walls didn't know about this, so he planned to let the eldest prince, who didn't have to fight in person, join the siege team, and he had to climb the city wall as quickly as possible.
Because the king and other counts do not know the situation here, they must be cautious when attacking.
In this way, time was left for the eldest prince to run from the side wall to the front wall.
When the time comes, the eldest prince's belly will appear on the front city wall, and then he will wave the flag of the Onyx Principality.
This will definitely make the eldest prince famous in one battle.
At the same time, the king and others discovered the situation and would definitely stop the army's attack as soon as possible.
As long as the army did not scale the city wall, there would be no danger. At most, it would only run an extra mile.
And with such a feat, who cares about the previous misjudgments?
What kind of trouble can Narant cause?
"Tony, is this okay?" After hearing Tony's words, the eldest prince felt a little moved.
As long as he has a little hope, he is not willing to accept that he cannot compare to a knight.
"Your Highness, as long as you are fast enough, you can definitely do it. Not only will you only be halfway through the attack on the army, but you will not even touch the city wall, but you will have already occupied Maple Leaf City by yourself!" Tony described the fantasy space to the eldest prince.
.
The scene at that time also appeared in the eldest prince's mind, and then he gritted his teeth firmly and said: "Yes! If it succeeds, Tony has the greatest credit!"
"Yes, Your Highness the Great Prince!" Tony immediately smiled.
"Herald! Blow the horn and tell His Majesty the King that we are ready and can launch an attack at any time!" Now that he had made the decision, the eldest prince did not hesitate and gave the order directly to the herald.
"Your Highness...this..." The messenger hesitated a little. He was a messenger assigned by the king. Now he also knew about the situation in Maple Leaf City. This was a fake order.
"I asked you to deliver the order!" The eldest prince's eyes widened and he looked sternly at the hesitating soldier who was delivering the order.
Time waits for no one, he must complete this matter quickly, otherwise he will never have a chance again.
"Yes...yes, the eldest prince!"
The messenger trembled, and he immediately remembered his status and raised his horn.
Woohoo!
The next moment, the order that had been prepared on the side was passed on.
"Is this bastard an idiot?" Nalant, who thought he had proven his suspicion and was already enjoying himself, was suddenly startled.
Then he started yelling in the direction of the eldest prince.
At such a time, the eldest prince still insisted on going his own way.
If there was really an ambush in the city and waiting for a group of soldiers and minor nobles to climb up the city wall, the situation would really be irreversible.
After all, everyone feels that this spacious Earl's city is full of gold and silver treasures. Even if they have to be turned over, they can still secretly hide some valuables.
Under the temptation of such interests, if you are ambushed, the consequences will be disastrous.
"What should we do? Just watch them launch an attack?" Nalant had the urge to give up the fight at this moment. He wanted to see how the eldest prince died in the end.
If there is really danger in the city, the king will never spare him.
"Ding, as a minor noble of the Agate Principality, you are also on the wheel of the Agate Principality at this moment. There may be dangers in the city. As the first person to discover the problem, you should give a warning!"
"Ding, system side mission: prevent the Agate Principality's army from climbing the city wall and avoid the traps that the Agate Principality may encounter!"
"Mission reward: You will win the 'realm-enhancing fruit' once in the next lucky draw!"
