Just at dawn the second day after the siege began, at the darkest moment of the day, a voice suddenly broke the tranquility.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!!"
Dang Dang Dang!!
The red wolf fire lit up immediately, and the sleeping soldiers wearing armor quickly got up, climbed the stairs, and came to the city wall.
However, they did not see the menacing enemy, nor the dense attacks, nor the sight of countless raindrops falling on the lake as they hit the city wall.
There is only a dark and boundless wilderness.
"Where is the enemy? Where is the enemy?"
"You know what happens to a false alarm, right? Who is it? Who shouted it?"
The soldiers began to look for the first person to call out an enemy attack. Of course, no one came forward.
At this moment, the first ray of dawn appeared, the earth suddenly lit up, and they suddenly raised their heads.
"What?"
The soldiers raised their heads and saw a large number of things floating in the sky. There was no wind today. They slowly fell in front of everyone. They didn't know what they were until someone reached out and grabbed them.
Paper.
"Those who surrender will not be killed."
Someone read out the words written on it, but was immediately stared at sternly by others. Sure enough, the angry commander rushed over, and he immediately picked up or took away the leaflets in the hands of the soldiers.
"No one is allowed to pick it up! You all know that you have only one way out. If you surrender, will the other party really let you go? Let me ask you, what have you done in this battle? Will that petty king forgive you...
…”
As he walked, he shouted loudly. Soon, he could no longer hold a piece of paper in his hand. The officer threw it directly towards the outside of the city, and then clapped his hands.
"Did you hear clearly? This is the enemy's trick! It's a trap! I order you to burn all the garbage on the ground, or throw it outside the wall like me. Quick! Why are you standing there?"
However, even if they could burn all the leaflets beside the city wall, they could not ensure that no one in the city picked up the leaflets or hid them. They did not know how the enemy sent the leaflets in through the barrier.
All they know is that there's extra work to come.
The job of burning flyers.
The enemy did not attack, but the goal was achieved, and the hearts of the Eagle Regiment slowly collapsed. The option of surrender was not optional. It was better than dying in battle or freezing to death.
The Eagle Group's plan is actually very simple. They plundered the food and resources in the central part, concentrated them in the north, and then pretended to be defeated and returned those cities to the empire. They knew that with the strength of the Kalis Empire, they could not give those cities any more.
The city is sending resources, and famine will definitely spread this winter. If the empire doesn't care about the refugees, then the blame for the famine will be on the empire, and people's hearts will naturally not be with the empire.
If the Kallis Empire spends all its financial resources on disaster relief, although this possibility is extremely low, but if it happens, the result is obvious, they will definitely not be able to maintain the cost of the army, then the Eagle Regiment's counterattack will be overwhelming
So simple.
In any case, this winter can kill the Calis Empire. The Eagles only need to hide in the north, eat the food they scavenged, and wait quietly for spring.
However, God is not as good as man. They never expected the intervention of the Demon King. They never expected that the empire would suddenly obtain a large amount of food, and the source of the food was only less than 10 meters away from where the Eagle Group made its fortune.
Three hundred kilometers.
Not only did the common people escape from famine, but the empire used grain as wages to allow them to start building cities. During this period, taking advantage of the weakness of the nobles, the king abolished the power of many lords and nobles.
Light snow was falling, and on a mountain road in the north, a mysterious convoy rolled over the winding mountains and headed east. No one knew where this team came from. Others only knew that they brought countless amounts of food.
Mainly wheat.
However, in this long motorcade, no one noticed that an aristocratic woman in civilian clothes was hiding in a certain carriage. She was sitting in the dim carriage and left as the motorcade...
In the first month of winter, the empire's fierce attack failed to defeat the enemy's city, but they had no intention of retreating, and the Eagle Regiment stationed in the city had already begun to collapse.
"Kill me!"
A roar came, and only the sound of knives was heard, followed by the sound of broken bones.
There were more than a dozen headless corpses in the city. The angry commander and his terrifying Eagle Guardians patrolled everywhere, because many soldiers began to plan to give up resistance and surrender to the enemy. The Eagle Regiment did not allow such a thing
Even if a hundred people are killed by mistake, one case cannot happen.
Obviously, their approach has indeed worked. People dare not mention any topics about the empire, because once you are reported and caught by the Eagle Guardians, they can convict you even if there is no evidence.
The city suddenly became panicked, and people no longer dared to speak.
At this special period, an unexpected person appeared.
The north-facing city gate opened, and an army from the north appeared. This was the reinforcement that the garrison had been longing for, and they finally arrived.
"Finally here!"
"A lot of people came."
"We don't have to worry now!"
"Wait a minute, I don't think I've seen that general before."
The soldiers and residents who greeted them noticed something strange. The leading soldier was very young. He wore cyan armor and a red tassel helmet, and his eyes were as deep as an eagle.
"He is! It's him! General Booth!"
Suddenly, someone recognized the soldier. Yes, the general with the reinforcements was the empire's general, Bu Long's son, a very famous general among the people.
"General Booth joins the Eagles!!"
"Long live! Long live the Eagles!!"
The crowd raised their weapons and cheered.
"General Booth used 20,000 troops to defeat our 100,000-strong army. Today he will definitely lead us to defeat those imperial lackeys!"
The soldiers shouted wildly, and saw a thinly dressed young man suddenly riding a horse and appearing at the front of the team. He wore a badge with an eagle pattern on his front, proving that he was George's direct subordinate and his status was no lower than that of the general.
He came to General Booth and looked around. Everyone could feel what was different about him. His eyes did not match his age. They were ruthless and cold, like a terrible beast.
"Everyone, please keep your ears open! From now on, General Booth will be in command here! You have been incorporated into his troops! Salute him!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone held their heads high and put their right hands on their left shoulders. Although they looked like a group of bandits, and some people were very uneven on the left and right, their voices were still loud: "Long live General Booth!
!”
But General Booth was surprisingly silent. He just nodded lightly, without any fluctuation in his eyes.
