At the same time, Hebrews also wrote a letter to Leonard and sent it using a carrier pigeon raised by the Knights.
The enemy search team sent by Hebrews was investigating the messy ambush scene left by Meluses. The soldiers gathered the corpses together and prepared to bury them together. Meluses took away the bodies of his own people, so
The knight who was temporarily assigned to take charge of this matter could only try to analyze it from the scars on the body left behind.
When he was looking at the body of a soldier whose head was shot by a bow and arrow, a soldier walked up to him and said.
"Lord Charon, the body of Knight Boozer has been found!" Boozer was the captain of the supply team who was killed by the Knights of the Dawn of the Noldor. He was a junior knight of the Royal Knights.
"Take me there!" Caron put down the arrow he pulled out from the corpse, then stood up and motioned for the soldier to lead the way.
Walking to Boozer's body lying on the ground, Caron squatted down, used his hands to open the pierced back of Boozer, and looked at the damaged armor and wounds.
"Hit from behind, it directly pierced the heart. Judging from the damage and stress of the armor, the attacker's weapon was very sharp, because he broke through the iron chain without any effort at all.
Judging from the wounds, the attacker's hand was very steady and the weapon he used was very slender. Boozer was killed without causing any damage to the opponent at all.
I know Boozer very well. Although he is not ranked high, he is agile, has clear thinking, and is not weak in combat. He can kill Boozer easily. The opponent must be a terrible swordsman. When did this figure appear in the kingdom?
What?" Caron muttered to himself, thinking about that noble in the country or one of his followers who was an excellent swordsman.
"Karon, look at this shield. The enemy must be very powerful. I have only seen such dents when fighting against the Raging Dragon Orcs of Eagle." Another knight held a piece of shield.
The shield with its entire center dented came over.
"The Raging Dragon Orcs? It's impossible for the Eagle to tear up the agreement and send elite troops over the mountains near Sword Gate Castle just to attack our supply team here!"
I heard from Hebrews that among the southern rebels there was a six-armed monster warrior with a lion's head, a human upper body, and a lion's lower body. It should have been those of the southern rebels who crossed over from the Langton Mountains.
come over.
It seems that they have reached some agreement with the eldest prince, and this is probably why they suddenly sent troops to attack Bornstein." Caron analyzed, and then said to the adjutant beside him.
"Go back to the fortress and report to Hebrews. The ambushers should be members of the southern rebels. They most likely crossed over through the Langton Mountains. They are also most likely to be hiding somewhere now."
"Although the terrain of the Langton Mountains is not as steep as the mountains near Jianmen Castle, it is not that easy to climb. There are many ferocious beasts in it, so the enemies are elite troops and their numbers will not be too large.
Judging from the traces on the scene, the enemy has accurate archers, powerful warriors and swordsmen, so we cannot take it lightly. We will search the Langton Mountains first, but we cannot enter rashly. Once we find them, we will report to Hebrews and see.
What to do then.
Now bury the body on the spot and we will set off directly!"
Caron turned back and said to the knight who came over with the shield.
The knight nodded, and then returned to the team to direct the soldiers to speed up their actions.
It took a full two hours to dig a hole, put the body in it, bury it, and compact the land to restore the entire scene to its previous appearance.
Since this batch of supplies was destroyed, the next batch of supplies will be available earlier than previously scheduled and will be collected in about a week. The supplies in Sidon Fortress can still last for less than half a month. If this batch of supplies is destroyed after
If it is destroyed, the huge army inside the fortress will directly run out of food.
Therefore, the group of ambushers must be found and defeated or driven away within a week. Otherwise, more escort troops will have to be sent to take a detour to transport supplies.
Outside the Sidon Fortress, Leon launched another harassing attack. The trebuchets projected a rain of stones all over the sky, and the hits stirred up bursts of debris on the city walls. Occasionally, the unlucky ones who were not careful were directly dropped from the sky.
The stone hit his head and exploded like a watermelon.
Others were hit on the body or shield. Although they were not killed directly, they were knocked upside down and flew out of the city wall. They fell from the high city wall and died. For a time, the defenders were suppressed.
They could only hide under the battlements of the city wall and use the trebuchets in the city to fight back a few times. After all, the range of bows and arrows could not reach that far.
Such attacks basically come several times a day and last for a short time. Leon will occasionally let the soldiers launch a tentative attack on the city, but most of the time they just use trebuchets to attack the city wall, and they often attack the city wall regardless of day or night.
Attacks will also be launched in the second half of the night, in order to tire out the defenders who are currently at a numerical disadvantage and cannot rotate like them.
When their spirits are exhausted to a certain extent, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, their fighting spirit will also be reduced, and Leon will have a chance to capture the city wall.
A few days later, Leonard, who was restrained by Ronan in Bornstein's territory, unwrapped the rolled letter from the feet of a carrier pigeon, then unfolded it and read it. It was a Hebrew letter.
Leonard frowned as he read the letter, and his face became increasingly gloomy. The situation was already extremely unfavorable for him, and there were also some discordant voices among the nobles who were loyal to him. He didn't know whether they were really dissatisfied or were being guided by someone with good intentions.
Yes, but Leonard knew that if this continued, he would have to choose between the Royal City and Sidon Fortress.
But losing either one was not what Leonard wanted, so he could only make another decision that was very difficult for him.
"Anthony!" Leonard shouted to the door.
"My subordinate is here!" Anthony heard Leonard's shout and responded by pushing the door open and walking in.
"Send someone to send a letter to that old fox Mayweather and tell him that I agree to his request, but he must send troops to help me contain Leon!" Leonard said gloomily, obviously not very satisfied with this decision.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will make arrangements now!" Anthony agreed without hesitation. An ordinary person might ask Leonard after hearing this decision, but Anthony is different. He always responds to Leonard's orders.
He did whatever he was asked to do without any doubt, which is why he gained so much trust from Leonard, and why his family is able to rise now.
Anthony quickly asked the bachelor to write a letter expressing Leonard's intentions. After showing it to Leonard, he arranged for his knights to deliver the letter. In order to prevent accidents, there were three copies of the letter, sent by three people.
