"Report!" A general in gray armor knocked on the thick door and shouted loudly outside.
"Disappointing!" In the room, someone pulled out his palm from the mattress of an exquisite woman's chest. The Lord of Ferry City, Berman, ordered in an unhappy cold voice: "Get in! Speak quickly!"
The woman didn't seem to have enough fun. She hung her arms around His Majesty the King's neck and said delicately and reluctantly: "My lord..."
"Huh!" Berman, who had lost interest, stepped away from the woman beside him. The many gold chains hanging on his body began to sway, shining softly under the candlelight.
"Sir! Something bad has happened... The troops stationed on the border to guard the west, the 300 infantry led by General Lille, have all... been wiped out..." The general did not dare to raise his head after entering the room, and kept his legs together and lowered his head.
Said in a mournful voice.
"What?" Hearing that his general had been defeated and lost so many soldiers, Lord Berman suddenly sat upright from his chair, the anger on his face making people shudder.
"I deployed 500 soldiers on the border! How come they were all wiped out in just two days? Was it Mayne's troops? Or was it Serris's troops?" His big hand slapped on the table, making a crisp sound:
"Lille, that stupid pig! What does he do for food?"
Yesterday, he was still immersed in the joy of capturing tens of thousands of Mayne civilians. Today, he heard such shocking news.
Originally, he thought that it would take at least ten days for the two countries to decide the winner. By that time, he had also settled the civilians who had been brought in and made preparations for mobilization for the war.
Neither Siris nor Mayne, who have been seriously injured, can retaliate against him immediately, and a large-scale war may not break out until at least next year.
But in fact, he miscalculated everything: the war broke out the day before yesterday, and today his field troops were almost completely wiped out...
"According to the report of the soldiers who escaped... Yesterday afternoon, Siris's black-armored cavalry bypassed the scouts and suddenly appeared on the flank of General Lille. General Lille was caught off guard and could only respond in a hurry. He himself fought among the chaos.
Death, the troops, the troops were all wiped out..." The general reported the news he had just received in a very embarrassed manner.
"Didn't they just fight against Mayne's main force? Ah? Are Mayne's troops all fools? They were defeated without even killing a single Serisian? Tell me? Huh?" Berman City was furious.
The Lord swept down the water cup and various utensils in front of him and roared loudly.
"Sir! According to the intelligence, there are not many cavalry in Siris, only 300. I guess they don't have the ability to mobilize more troops to attack us. Maybe, maybe it's just harassment. As long as we shrink our troops and retreat to
There should be no danger if the city is defended..." The general who was kneeling on the ground swallowed his saliva, looked away from the beauty lying on the ground with her breasts half exposed, and spoke to advise.
Berman was silent. He was weighing the pros and cons. If he reduced his troops now, it would be equivalent to giving up all the civilians he had looted before.
As long as Siris's cavalry arrives, these civilians will quickly return to their original residence and will not stay in the ferry city at all.
Working in vain? Berman felt a little unwilling to do this. But he had nothing to do with Siris's cavalry, so he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
"Gather all the troops immediately to guard the ferry city! Find me Lawns!" Berman glanced at the kneeling general on the ground, waved his hand and directed his anger at the woman: "This bitch... I'll reward you.
Got it!"
After weighing it, he felt that it was safer to keep his foundation. If the population was gone, he could find an opportunity to fight for it next time. But if the city was lost, then he would have no hope of making a comeback. So he decided to gather his troops and fight in Dukou City.
Just wait for the other party to come.
"Sir!" After hearing that she was just thrown into the hands of a rude general, the beautiful woman who was lying on the ground turned pale and screamed but did not dare to move.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" The general who was kneeling on the ground quickly lowered his head and thanked him with a lewd smile on his face.
Without looking at the woman who was already crying, Bermancheng advocated opening his arms. Several maids around came forward and hung the prepared armor on his somewhat fat body.
Soon, Lawns, who was wearing leather armor and with a strong build, walked into Berman's city lord's palace. He had a long sword slung around his waist and looked majestic.
This General Lawns is the commander of the Fukou City fleet and commands the Fukou City fleet. He usually does not go ashore very often and is an out-and-out aquatic animal.
Seeing his men, Berman immediately gave instructions: "Lawns! The cavalry from Seris City is coming! Get your people ready!"
"I have told you before that you are causing trouble by arresting those civilians. You will be punished by God if you do such an outrageous thing!" Lawns snorted coldly, holding his long sword and raising his chin.
"It's too late to say anything now! You do what you should do! I'll do what I should do!" Berman was a little dissatisfied with the arrogance of his subordinates, poking his fingers in the chest and scolding.
Lawns looked at Berman's fingers poking at his chest, nodded expressionlessly, took a step back and turned away: "I will prepare the fleet to go to sea!"
"Sooner or later...I'll make you a bastard!" Looking at the retreating back of Lawns, Berman let out a breath and cursed.
…
Chris wiped the sword in his hand and looked up at the majestic Ferry City. This was not a castle, but a real city with a port.
Beside him, war horses were snorting and grazing. On the hillside in the distance, groups of refugees who had organized themselves to go home were swarming along the road toward the western horizon.
Five days have passed since his departure. In a few days, he rescued countless civilians who were brought here from the plains east of Mayne and annihilated at least 350 soldiers from Ferry City.
The loss of 300 cavalry was not small, and a full 50 of them fell on the way forward. Because they did not carry heavy weapons, Chris led his troops to fight dozens of battles, large and small, with real swords and real guns.
"Sir!" Riding a tall horse, Vagron's adjutant Corea pulled his reins next to Chris and loudly reported: "The artillery has arrived!"
"Very good! Take a rest! We'll start attacking Ferry City in the afternoon!" Chris knew that five days was already a lot of time, and he didn't have the patience to waste it any longer. He had to end the battle immediately.
As for the fleet in Fukou City and the damn Lord Berman, he was no longer in the mood to pay attention to it. Even if the other party escaped this time, he would settle the accounts with this Berman in the future!
Chris waited all morning, and finally his main force arrived. He personally supervised the artillery troops setting up positions under the city, and soon 20 artillery pieces were lined up outside the Dukou City, ready to fire.
"Let them see what real war is!" Chris was riding on his horse, out of the range of the bow and arrow, staring at the Ferry City wall in the distance.
As his order was passed on, the cannon in the distance made a dull bang one after another.
"Boom! Boom!" As if the earth was shaking, one shell after another flew towards the target in the distance amidst the dull sound of thunder, and devil's flowers bloomed on the walls of Fukou City.
The rubble spread with the shock wave of the explosion, billowing smoke spread everywhere, the city walls were in a mess, and the earth trembled from the sound of cannons.
Chris squinted his eyes and watched the city walls of Ferry City slowly crumble and collapse. He was a little regretful that he didn't have a telescope to carefully observe such a magnificent sight.
He did not order anyone to persuade them to surrender, he just prepared his own attack and then waited for Fukou City to open its gates to him.
No one can withstand the roar of cannons. The fortifications of the cold weapon age will naturally fall apart under the attack of modern technology. The enemy's collapse is only a matter of time, and there is no need to be anxious.
Just like the siege of Mayne Castle, a huge white flag was soon erected on the city wall of Ferry City. In a world with magic, no soldier is willing to fight against the "magic army".
"It seems that the opponent's courage is nothing more than that." Chris pressed the long sword on his waist and gave a not-so-high evaluation. He clamped his legs under the horse's belly and led his troops forward slowly.
The gate of Fukou City was opened from the inside, and the soldiers guarding the city knelt on both sides of the gate. They didn't even have the courage to raise their heads to look at Chris. Chris didn't bother to argue with these soldiers and generals, and led his troops straight to the ferry.
The city's lord's palace.
…
"Hoo, ho!" Breathing slightly, Berman tore off the armor on his chest while running forward. His figure was already bulky, and now he looked even more puffy.
Just now, he was standing on the city wall, waiting for the Seris soldiers, who only had a few hundred people, to attack the city. He prepared tens of thousands of bows and arrows, as well as rolling stones and wood, just waiting for Chris to lead his army to die.
But things were different from what he expected. The other party's attack was a bit special... The city wall exploded inexplicably. After those strange neighing sounds, gravel and iron pieces cut into the bodies of everyone around them, like swords.
Just as sharp.
He saw with his own eyes half of a soldier's head cut off by an iron piece, and his ears were buzzing from the huge explosion. He couldn't hear the cries around him at all, which made him even more at a loss.
Until now, he has not recovered his hearing. He stumbled out of the city wall all the way, and the guards around him had disappeared.
He only has one thought left now: leave here, stay away from those terrible explosions, find an opportunity to make a comeback, and come back to avenge today's attack!
