Chapter 230 Brave Reward

Ronan thought at first that these people were here to stop him, but the clothes and the lack of weapons in their hands didn't look like it, so Ronan sent his men over to ask what they were doing, and then the group of people suddenly knelt down.

, began to kneel down and worship Ronan.

Ronan asked his men to bring the leader Rumlow to him, then looked at Rumlow kneeling on the ground and said:

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"I am the son of the old cobbler in the city, Rumlow, Your Majesty. They are the people I have gathered together to help each other resist those thugs. We know you are coming, so we came here to greet you. I hope you can help us!"

"

Rumlow bowed before looking up at Ronan and said.

"Oh, I see ambition in your eyes. Tell me what you have to say. Why are you doing this? What do you want from me?"

Ronan smiled softly and said. Rumlow's sharp eyes made Rumlow flinch a little, but then he mustered up the courage to say:

"I want to follow you! Your Majesty, I don't want to inherit my father's profession and be a cobbler, I want to become better!"

"Haha, yes, you are brave and dare to gamble! I admire you very much! Is the city lord still here?"

Ronan laughed twice and then asked.

"The city lord's family and all the guards were brutally killed by the Eagle Men. They hung their bodies on the city wall. I only dared to put their bodies down after they left!"

Rumlow responded, looking a little sad.

"Okay, looking at this formation, you probably didn't lie to me. So in order to praise your bravery and kindness, you should succeed as the lord of this city! Do you have a last name?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward! I don't have a surname, Your Majesty!"

Rumlow obviously didn't expect that Ronan would directly give him a city. At this time, he couldn't believe it, but he was also so excited that he couldn't control himself and even trembled when he spoke.

"Then your surname will be Bernard from now on. This is what I gave you. You have the right to let your descendants, relatives and friends use this surname! But Bernard, you have to remember that I hate deception and those who are corrupt."

As a person, you are just supporting me now. If the war is over and your performance still satisfies me, I will just canonize you! Work hard!

I will send you some soldiers, give your subordinates some weapons and equipment, and arrange for people to train them. You have to manage this city well. Then, the first test is to take your new subordinates to conquer the city.

Let’s deal with all the thugs first! Go now!”

Ronan tapped Rumlow's shoulder with his scabbard, and then said.

"Yes! Your Majesty, I will not let you down. I will arrange for people to clean the City Lord's Mansion every day. You can move in directly. I will go and clean up those thugs!"

Rumlow then stood up, bowed heavily to Ronan and left with his subordinates who had just received the equipment and the thirty soldiers sent to him by Ronan.

"You are so generous. This city is not small, and the location is also very good. If you say it is for a commoner, you will give it to a commoner!" Magna walked to Ronan and said with a smile.

"He is now my vassal. It's interesting, isn't it? This is the charm of troubled times. A person with nothing can become a superior figure in troubled times!

Two years ago, I was just a little mercenary leader who fought desperately for money and rewards that now seem insignificant on Yida Road. I only had dozens of people under my command and didn’t even have a house of my own! Now,

I have become the leader of a country, with a powerful army and a steady income of money.

He is very brave and ambitious, I gave him this opportunity, I hope he will not let me down!"

Ronan said with a smile, with a somewhat nostalgic look in his eyes.

It had been a day since the meeting, and Jackson finally brought back the information. He took out the map and threw it on the table. After taking out some small flags with thin nails underneath, Jackson began to place them.

"That's it. The enemy's main force is stationed here, backed by Gessenburg, and there are small sentries here and here. There is also a large number of cavalry troops here, forming a triangle between them.

, and they are all within half a day's journey of each other. They are all on high ground, the surrounding trees have been cut down, there is no cover, and a simple temporary beacon tower has been built. No matter which direction we attack from, we will definitely be discovered.

And the only place worth attacking is the enemy troops in Gessenburg. The cavalry troops are too flexible, and there is no need to attack those two small sentries. They must have seen us from a distance and just lit up the smoke and ran away.

.”

Ronan, Magna and other officers and staff looked at the map laid out by Jackson, all thinking that it was indeed not easy to handle.

"If you can't hide and launch a surprise attack, then attack head-on!"

"The Eagle people's archers are very strong. These places are very suitable for defense. They will have to go through a long period of bow and arrow attacks before they fight. This journey will be very difficult!"

"Can't we just bypass their troops and attack Sword Gate Castle?"

"It's unlikely to be possible. The easiest way to get to Jianmen Fort is the easiest way. The rest of the roads are not suitable for large troop movements, and they are easily ambushed. If we don't capture Gessenburg, our rear will always be unstable.

, and some of the troops will be involved, which will affect the overall situation!"

People in the conference room had a heated discussion, studying various possibilities and strategies, but in the end they still couldn't come up with a perfect one, and finally chose the most direct frontal attack.

"Gesenberg is a castle designed for war. It was originally built together with Jianmen Fort to serve as another line of defense after Jianmen Fort fell.

The overall shape of Jianmen Fort is a concave castle, with the four corners extending outward. The entire city wall is wavy. The extended four corners house a large number of crossbows and catapults used to destroy siege equipment, as well as

The taller spire was used to allow archers to shoot soldiers ascending the city from the side.

The city wall is slightly tilted as a whole, and it is difficult to climb up with a ladder. Moreover, the castle is built on a hill. There are only two front and back roads to enter the city. If you attack from the other two sides, you have to climb a specially modified city cliff about fifty meters high.

of mountains.

There is a moat around it, and only one bridge can cross it. The bridge is very narrow, only about five meters wide, and they may destroy the wooden bridge that day. At that time, we will have to build a new bridge under the attack of enemy bows and arrows, otherwise

We can only cross the river by swimming, but we don’t know how deep the water is and whether there are any ferocious aquatic beasts in it.”

"That means that unless we can fly, we can only attack from the main entrance path, right?"

After listening to Jackson's description of Gesenberg, Magna frowned and said.
