Master Overlord - Chapter 416
Outside Sishui town.
The little man poked the fire in front of him. While taking the roasted black horse meat from the branch, he rushed to pace, who was distracted beside him, and said, “boss, why don’t you go and have a rest? I’m watching here and these night watchers. There will be no accident. You can’t lose your spirit in the later war.”
With that, he tore off a piece of horse meat and chewed it.
The taste of horse meat was not good. In addition, it was killed in a hurry and there was no spice around, so the little man had to roast it to add some flavor.
Pace didn’t respond. He sat quietly beside the fire, staring at Sishui town and the night scene below.
He didn’t listen to the suggestion of axe and others to take advantage of the chaos to invade the town. After some consideration, he chose to wait for one night. The fire came so suddenly and strangely that he was not sure whether the enemy knocked over the candlestick or someone helped secretly.
When the war has developed to the present stage, he must be cautious, cautious and cautious again!
Moreover, even if the ship is destroyed and re collected immediately, it is difficult for them to rush back to Fengxi city in time.
The night was deep and the stars were bright in the lonely sky. Pace couldn’t help missing Eugenie and her father again and was worried about the war in Fengxi city.
Perhaps there was no war yet. He thought in his heart that it would take time for the wild people’s army to assemble, but the war would not be too far away. The wild people’s food would run out, and delay would be bad for them.
Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? Pace was worried. The only comfort in his heart was that the wild people had lost Warcraft. Without those terrible beasts, the wall of Fengxi city will be much stronger. As long as the soldiers are not afraid of death and block the giants rushing to the city gate and the wild people climbing the wall, they are completely likely to win.
By the way, we have to guard against traitors hidden among them – how can there be so many traitors in the North! Pace thought bitterly that he had determined in his heart that the man was the Barrett family, and perhaps the Knoxville family. Only the Barrett family has secretly supported so many mercenaries.
Fortunately, my father had been on guard against the two families and arranged them in the front line. If the wild people break through the city gate, they will die! And now the ships in Sishui town are burned. Even if the other party has any conspiracy, it will be difficult to continue for a while. When the war is over and there is evidence, it will be a time to eliminate these traitors one by one!
In his worry, pace couldn’t help thinking of the river collar, the green and Davidson families, the wars in the South and East, his father, sister and Jenny
……
Early in the morning, the wind stops the city.
After a few days of rain, the sun above the head became hot again, and the sun baked the earth in an arrogant manner early in the morning.
Wearing her black leather armor, Eugenie climbed the wall in high spirits after having breakfast of pumpkin soup and toast with the soldiers.
Under the Duke’s arrangement, she was followed by ten family knights with shields and guns. If in danger, she could surround him at any time and evacuate quickly – the Duke originally planned to send 20 knights, but now the ten people were the result of the Duke’s compromise after Eugenie’s strong opposition.
In addition to the family knights, Eugenie is now accompanied by two loyal free riders.
According to them, Eugenie, as a noble lady, should have taken refuge in the castle with her ladies at such a time, but she was not afraid of danger. She climbed the wall with all the soldiers in the north to resist the wild people. They were willing to swear allegiance and protect her safety with their lives.
Originally, the Duke did not agree to let unidentified people follow Eugenie. Even if they were innocent and swore to gods and honor, they reluctantly agreed under Eugenie’s coquettish and insistent requirements.
On the wall.
Eugenie’s arrival made the soldiers on duty with guns say hello one after another. Their eyes looked at her one by one with love and respect. It was rare to show a trace of tenderness with the seriousness of the coming war.
Eugenie responded one by one, her young face showed a firm look, and her bright eyes showed encouraging eyes. Occasionally she would respond, look into the soldier’s eyes and say a word or two of encouragement. At this time, soldiers wearing armor and unbearable heat will feel comfortable being blown by the cool wind, and the depression of the upcoming war in their hearts seems to be swept away.
Eugenie is not good at these things. She has never been taught how to encourage soldiers in wartime. In the classics of Xuecheng, there is no knowledge to teach noble ladies to lead soldiers.
But she is extremely smart and knows how to give full play to her identity, gender and even age. Moreover, she had seen Arthur tustra get along with the soldiers and the profound contents contained in those rules and regulations in the barracks led by the river.
Therefore, she dined with the soldiers and cared about whether they were full and slept well; Patrol around every day and gently ask the soldiers about their duties; Let everyone see the flag of the kewilt family and know that she is with them; Even she would carry an oil lamp and patrol the soldiers’ camp at night
The command of the eastern front was not in her hands, but in the hands of knoxvi and several other aristocratic vassals.
But over the past few days, her actions have greatly moved serfs, Knights of major families, and even the people in the city who heard rumors. No one regarded her as an aristocratic lady who made trouble, but with heartfelt respect and love.
“War is coming.”
At the crenel, Eugenie held the telescope and looked carefully at the wild people’s tents like mold in front.
This telescopic tube, which she asked people to use the best crystal, was imitated according to the telescopic tube given to pace by Arthur. Not only her, but also the Duke and several important vassals.
This is a good thing. When the weather is fine, you can have a panoramic view of the wild people’s camp several miles away.
At the moment, hundreds of thousands of wild people have surrounded Fengxi city from the east to the south like mold.
In order to win the war, the craftsmen in the city drove out nearly 100 stone catapults, most of which were placed in the southern section of the defense line, under the command of her father.
In addition to the catapults behind the city wall, more than 300 crossbows were placed on the city wall and hundreds of barrels of fire oil were prepared. Strong crossbow is used to deal with giants, while fire oil is specially used to deal with wild people rushing to the city gate.
Inside the telescope, Eugenie could see very clearly that almost all the houses outside the city were demolished by the wild people, and the boards were made into shields. The other party also used carriages and logs to transform weapons such as siege vehicles.
In addition to the inside of the city, a large number of horses and trenches were arranged more than ten meters away from the wall to prevent the wild people from approaching the wall. These were completed by the serfs in half a month.
The destruction of Warcraft boosted everyone’s morale. In order to win the war, they have done everything they can do now!
However, the most dangerous enemy does not come from outside the city.
