Diagheto's drinking capacity was very good, and a dozen glasses of ale did not make him drunk at all.
The atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively. Erwin received the message from the guards. He came to Reggie and said with a smile: "Sir, the girls are ready."
When he heard the word girl, Diachto was a little nervous.
"Your Excellency, as an imperial envoy, I cannot do anything that violates the law, especially on such an occasion..."
"This has nothing to do with the law, my friend," Reggie said with a smile. "Our girl is different. You will only know it when you see her."
Reggie nodded at Erwin, Erwin gave three high-fives, and four girls with strong backs and strong backs walked in vigorously.
"They" wore wigs, heavy makeup, fluffy skirts, and charming smiles. They came to Diachto and saluted one by one.
"Do you think they are gorgeous?"
"He, they..."
"Do you think they are enthusiastic?"
"them……"
"Do you think they are unrestrained, my friend?"
"He, they... are very good." Everyone could see that these four "girls" were men. They were actually Reggie's guards. The thickest one was the vice-captain Mardi.
At first, Mardi refused because it would tarnish the image of a soldier.
With the joint persuasion of Reggie and Erwin, the vice-captain finally put aside his secular prejudices and accepted this glorious mission.
"Girls, dance!" Maldi pinched her throat and gave the order, and the "girls" began their dance full of tenderness and temptation.
Diahto's guards were stunned. They didn't know much about the customs of Shattering Snow City. Even the battle-experienced God of Death, Modessa, blushed.
"He, they..." Diakhto's breathing was a little difficult. A "girl" came to him and gave him a gentle kiss. Diakhto felt as if he had missed something in the first half of his life.
Amidst the singing and dancing, Erwin came to Jarvan and whispered: "Knight Gusta, it's time for you to go."
"I can't leave." Jiawen's eyes never left Modessa.
"This is the Lord's order, please don't make things difficult for me, okay?"
Reggie was indeed in a dilemma. He had already glared at Jiawen several times. This was a moment where every second counted and there was no room for wastage.
But Jiawen was still hesitating. At this moment, Batchelor suddenly stood up.
"I'm old, and I can't resist the passion of wine and girls," Bacello held his forehead and shook his head, "Lord, please allow me to excuse you for a while. I'm very dizzy."
"Knight Gusta," the witty Batchelor gave Reggie an excellent opportunity, "send the Grand Bachelor back for me."
Jiawen stood up, leaned over and saluted: "As you command, my lord."
He helped Batchelor leave the castle. When he reached the door, the staggering Batchelor suddenly returned to normal and said to Jarvan: "Knight Gusta, go do your thing. The enemy has appeared due east."
"I'm worried about your lord..."
"Lord, we don't need to worry, he is always ahead of us," Batchelor got on the carriage and said to Jiawen, "Hurry up, First Knight, and complete our respective missions!"
Batchelor quickly ran back to the manor in the carriage, and Calaf and Natalie had prepared the hot air balloon.
"In the east, due east!" Batchelor gasped, "Go quickly!"
Calaf said: "But we don't know what the totem looks like yet."
Batchelor said: "Didn't I draw a picture for you?"
"Master Tutor, you can't imagine what it looks like when you look down on the ground from the air. I'm afraid I won't be able to identify the totem. Can you draw it on the ground once, preferably with urine wax, in which case I will definitely be able to..."
"That's enough!" Batchelor said angrily, "Why are you telling me now? The enemy troops are about to rush to the city wall!"
After hesitating for about a minute, Bachelo closed his eyes: "May the gods bless me."
The seventy-nine-year-old bachelor boarded the gondola and ordered it to take off.
…
Reggie purchased a batch of war horses from Nelson, which expanded Jarvan's cavalry to eighty men.
Eighty cavalrymen, led by Jiawen, quickly rushed to the city wall. Sulit was the first to climb onto the city wall and was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.
Crushed snow and stones were scattered on both sides, and there was an extra road on the hillside that had not changed for hundreds of years.
A black shadow was approaching. It was the enemy troops charging on the mountain road. There were no drums, no horns, or even torches, but their actions were quick and orderly, which showed that they were a highly qualified army.
"They are coming, Commander-in-Chief!"
"Prepare bombs and grenades and wait for my order!"
The timing of the attack is very important, as the cavalry does not carry much ammunition.
The grenade cannot be thrown farther than one hundred and fifty feet.
As for bombs, even four of the strongest soldiers could only throw a hundred pound bomb a distance of sixty feet.
Of course, the bomb can roll down the hillside, but if you want to ensure that the bomb can exert its power, the distance must not be greater than two hundred feet.
There are two thousand enemy troops. If they are allowed to rush onto the city wall, the consequences will be disastrous.
It would be nice to have a trebuchet at this time.
All the trebuchets are in the south of the city. It is not easy to move them. Moreover, Reggie does not dare to give up the defense of the south gate easily. The mountain road is the real key to Shattering Snow City. No one can guarantee that the other side will not be able to do so.
There will be a tactic of dividing the troops into two groups to attack the east and attack the west.
Reggie asked Roland Field to stay in the south of the city with half of his depleted soldiers. His judgment was correct. Maxwell, the Tsunami Knight, sent another force to ambush near the entrance of the mountain road, preparing to launch a feint attack.
There are five hundred people in this force. It is said to be a feint attack, but if precautions are neglected, they are still capable of breaking into the city gate, seizing the weapons of the soldiers, and then seizing the entire Xuexue City.
This is a close contest. Diachto's tactics are impeccable. Maxwell is an excellent general. As long as Reggie has the slightest negligence, Shattered Snow City will become the possession of the Golden Eagle Kingdom.
.
Fortunately, Reggie was not negligent in the slightest.
The atmosphere of the banquet was still warm. Surrounded by the "dancers", Diagheto was a little tipsy. Reggie poured him another full glass of ale. Diagheto was about to drink it all in one gulp, but was heard by a crisp sound.
The sound almost scared the cup off.
"What was that sound just now?" Diakhto, who was flying on the clouds a second ago, woke up.
"There was no sound," Reggie said with a smile. "It must be winter thunder. Winter thunder is always so shocking."
boom!
There was another loud noise, much louder than the previous one.
Because the previous sound was a grenade from the east of the city, and this one was from the south of the city.
Jiawen was leading his soldiers to fight the enemy in the east of the city, while Roland repelled the enemy's first feint attack in the south of the city.
Of course Diahto knew that this was not thunder, he knew that the battle had begun.
He cast his gaze on Modessa, the God of Death. Modessa pushed away the "dancer" in her arms and slowly stood up.
Reggie kept his eyes on Diachto, because he knew Erwin was ready.
There were explosions outside, but the castle gradually became quiet.
"Your Excellency," Diachto said, "why did Knight Gusta never come back? I would like to buy him another drink."
Reggie smiled and said: "Knight Gusta must be drunk, can I drink this drink for him?"
Diachto was silent for a moment and sighed: "What a pity, Viscount Reginald Victor, why couldn't we become friends?"
"I don't understand what you are saying. Aren't we friends?" Reggie put a hand under the table, where there was a wooden stick wrapped in white phosphorus.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Viscount Victor. I have a gift for you." Diachto gestured. Just as Modesa was about to step forward, she suddenly saw Reggie slipping out of the "Dancer's" skirt.
He took out a large grenade and lit the fuse.
"Viscount Mitocton, I also have a gift for you," Reggie held the grenade and said with a ferocious smile, "Before that, please sit down first!"
