In this beautiful weather, there should be many pedestrians on the streets of Burai City, but today the streets are particularly deserted.
Although the people in the city don't know what happened specifically, they can feel the chilling atmosphere.
Instinctively, they hid at home, and the nobles and wealthy businessmen who discovered the abnormality even locked up their mansions and did not dare to go out easily.
Outside Sadburg, thousands of garrison soldiers have surrounded the castle. The pedestrians in the streets in the distance have long been cleared, and some higher roofs are already filled with archers from the garrison.
The garrison arrived suddenly, but the guards at Fort Sadler reacted very quickly. When they noticed the garrison approaching from afar, they lowered the iron gate and put themselves on alert.
"Sir, this is the castle of the Sade family. The Sade family has been in business for several generations and is the leader of the twelve Burley families in terms of financial resources and armed strength."
In the open space outside Sade Castle, Dane was following Saul, introducing the situation of Sade's family to Saul.
After Thor reorganized the garrison to the point where it was basically under control, he went out boldly. Under the guidance of Dane, he surrounded the Sade family without any hindrance.
Thor was in a hurry and didn't want to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. He wanted to find the strongest monkey and kill it to show the chicken, completely crushing the resistance of the nobles in the valley.
While Dane was introducing the situation of the Sade family, Thor was also carefully observing the castle in front of him.
From a purely military perspective, the castle is indeed built to be impregnable.
The city is nearly seven feet high, which is nearly half higher than the outer wall of Burai City. The wall is made of solid bluestone, and the base is also nearly five feet tall.
There are also a large number of protruding points reasonably distributed on the city for the archers defending the city to shoot. There are no dead spots for shooting, and they can even form a cross fire advantage over the siege.
Of course, the most important thing about defending a city is not whether the walls are tall or whether the fortress is strong. The most important thing is the people. If the people defending the city are not strong enough in fighting and have insufficient fighting will, no matter how strong the castle is, it will be easily broken.
At this time, the soldiers on the castle were already standing ready. Although most of them had a little doubt in their eyes, they had no intention of being timid.
These are professional warriors who have long been fed by the Sadr family with gold. Most of their family members are also making a living in the Sadr family's property. They have long been tied to the Sadr family and will definitely fight to the death for Sadr.
Fight for home.
"Pity."
After observing, Sol shook his head and sighed.
What Saul regrets is naturally the group of professional warriors from the Sade family. From his perspective, he can naturally see that the warriors on the castle are quite strong.
The combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the garrison should be better than that of the soldiers in the garrison. Even with Sol's pickiness, he can be called an elite.
It's a pity that these people are die-hard loyalists of the Sade family. To kill the monkey of the Sade family and shock the nobles in the valley, this elite armed force must be eliminated.
It's a pity that this elite force was not brought to the north to fight the ogres. Instead, it was consumed in the internal strife of rectifying the river valley.
"Kuz."
"My subordinate is here!"
"If I want you to command the garrison to attack Sadburg, I can be sure."
"It depends on how long you give me."
"one day."
"one day?"
After hearing this, Kurtz frowned and fell into thinking.
He quickly shook his head and replied
"My subordinates are incompetent. It is difficult to capture such a strong castle in one day even if there are sufficient siege equipment.
Forcibly driving the soldiers to attack the city will only waste the lives of the soldiers, and it will take at least several months to besiege the city and build fortifications before there is a chance to break the city."
Kurtz knew how to fight. He knew how difficult it would be to defeat a small, sturdy castle that was small in area and had a firm will to fight.
The castle is only so small, so it is difficult to use the numerical advantage when attacking the city, and the opponent's elite level is still higher than our own army.
Even if the royal guards of the royal capital were brought in, without spending several days building a large number of siege equipment, and then attacking from all sides with an absolute numerical advantage, it would be impossible to easily break the castle.
The most practical way to deal with such a fortified city is to besiege it for a long time. Besiege it for a year and a half until the people are panicked and their ammunition and food are exhausted. Without attacking, the enemy itself may collapse first.
Therefore, to be honest, it is unrealistic in Kurtz's opinion to capture Sadburg in one day without building a large number of siege equipment in advance.
"You are right, but this castle must be taken down within one day. We can afford to wait, and neither can Northland."
While the two were talking, Viscount de Sade and others also appeared on the top of the city.
Viscount de Sade rarely put on his military uniform, looked down with his long sword and shouted:
"Dane come out!
If you secretly lead an army to surround the castle where the kingdom officially conferred the title of viscount, aren't you afraid of being blamed by the king?"
Viscount de Sade still didn't understand the situation, and he habitually wanted to take advantage of Da Yi. Regardless of whether it was true or false, he always wanted to put the blame on Dane.
When Dane heard Thad calling him by name directly at the top of the city, he instinctively wanted to go out and shout twice to hurt the opponent's morale.
However, as soon as Dane raised his feet, Thor waved to him and motioned for him to step back.
"Let me do it."
Thor, wearing golden dragon scale armor, walked out of the crowd and stood in a conspicuous position.
"I am Thor, the dragon knight of the town, the temporary governor of the river valley.
The Sadh family has seized civilian land, invaded military land, and failed to pay taxes. After investigation, the evidence is conclusive, and you are now ordered to open the door immediately and accept the punishment."
Thor's speech was very powerful, and his voice spread equally well. Almost everyone in the castle heard Thor's words.
Everyone in the castle was in an uproar after hearing this.
It's not that he was shocked by the charges. The things Sol said were simply commonplace in the river valley.
In fact, any of the lords of the river valley would be slapped with this string of accusations.
What really surprised them was that Thor called himself the Dragon Knight of the Kingdom. The dragon knight had a transcendent status in the Golden Dragon Kingdom, and Thor himself was even more famous, so they couldn't help but be surprised.
"It's fake, the dragon knight doesn't even have a dragon."
"That's right, if there really is a dragon, I think Viscount de Sade can just ask someone to open the door and surrender. This guy doesn't even have a dragon yet he dares to call himself a dragon knight and wants to trick the castle into opening."
"Lord Thor is in the royal capital, how could he come to the river valley?"
"Perhaps it's that little guy Dane who created the fake. This greedy guy even dares to take ideas from the Sade family."
A person’s name, the shadow of a tree,
When Thor initially revealed his identity, the nobles in the castle were a little flustered, but soon someone caught on to a "loophole".
This man who calls himself Thor doesn’t even have a dragon. What kind of dragon knight is he? After thinking about it this way,
Several nobles talked to each other, just like they were trying to find fault, and they picked out a bunch of evidence that Thor was a fake in front of them, and the initial panic was gone.
Only Viscount Sade, who was dressed in military uniform, frowned and did not look relaxed at all.
Compared with several other nobles, Viscount de Sade has lived longer and is more experienced. When he was young, he had the honor to meet the dragon knight in the capital.
He could tell that the golden armor on Thor's body was the dragon scale armor exclusive to the Dragon Knight.
If that person is really Thor, then Dane's previous behavior will be explained. Only Thor's sudden appearance can suppress Dane's thoughts of resistance. Even the king may not ask for it in person.
You are so majestic.
Although he didn’t know why the golden dragon didn’t accompany the dragon knight, Viscount de Sade had already confirmed Thor’s identity to 90%.
However, Viscount de Sade did not say anything because of the absence of the golden dragon.
He also dared to bet that his castle could last for a while, and then he would tie the other eleven families together and ask Sol for a chance to negotiate terms...
