Pendor Empire In Other Worlds - v3 Chapter 72
Noon on September 19
Qatar Castle, Lothar has been to the former Earl’s study many times.
Zaimeng, who usurped the position of earl, sat on the chair behind the desk like his father, and listened patiently to the battle report brought by the messenger.
“In other words, hasn’t been attacked by the enemy for an hour?”
tilted his head slightly and glanced at the gray sky and the drizzle outside the window.
This “new earl” who subconsciously imitated his father in many ways, muttered to himself in thought.
“Yes, my lord, the enemy did not launch an attack for more than an hour before I was ordered to convey the military information.”
Chuan Lingbing didn’t correctly understand the meaning of his lord, so he only asked and answered seriously.
“I remember, that Viscount Lothar came to prominence back then, as if he was taking advantage of the rainy night to behead the leader of the barbarians.”
“I don’t know, how will he feel in this rain today?”
How do you feel?
Of course, I feel very, very upset.
After all, this is the fifth day of the official siege.
Seeing that the defenders of Qatar City have been dragged into the link of mutual consumption, then as long as the opponent’s combat capabilities are worn out step by step, Patrick’s combat strategy can be successfully realized.
How could Lothar be willing to give the defenders a chance to breathe because of a rain.
This rain will not only accelerate the destruction of the siege equipment that has been parked at the foot of the city wall.
The muddy ground after the rain will also seriously hinder the second round of the Allied attack.
What’s more, it’s rain and cold in autumn.
After the rain passes, the temperature in the end of autumn will inevitably drop drastically.
Qatar has a big family, so collecting cold-resistant materials for soldiers is nothing at all.
On Lothar’s side, although he has won the support of most of the southern aristocrats, the necessary warmth is not lacking.
But as the siege party, how can the Allied soldiers living in the marching tents compare to the Qatar City defenders living in the houses?
said that after a rain, it will be Lothar’s side that the combat effectiveness will decrease faster.
How does this make him feel refreshed.
“In spite of this, the defense on the city wall still cannot be taken lightly, and a high degree of vigilance must be maintained.
The enemy’s two rounds of offensive this morning, but I was shocked in a cold sweat. “
As the ridicule at the corner of Count Zaimeng’s mouth widened, on the chair next to him, a man with a teacup in both hands spoke abruptly.
As for the two rounds of offensive he said, it means that in the morning, in order to suppress the morale of the defending army, which was suddenly improved due to the rain, Patrick issued two rounds of strong offensive orders to the troops.
Under the leadership of the serious Fieldsway guards, these two rounds were just casual attacks that were forced by the commander at first glance. Several troops successfully boarded the city wall and opened up relatively stable attack points.
Especially during the second attack, the siege troops even persisted for more than an hour. Patrick also sent reinforcements three times in a row, with a great intention of taking the city.
Although the defenders in the city finally boarded the wall in large numbers, both attacks ended in failure.
But the sense of panic that was three times a day, not only caused the morale of the defending soldiers to get up a little bit again.
also greatly frustrated the man who was responsible for contacting the new earl.
The smile on Earl’s face froze for a moment, and the next moment, his face suddenly became ugly.
“This is natural, Dieselwald (the main general under Zaimeng) and them, naturally know the importance.”
“However, I would like to know when you are going to do it to solve the current crisis.”
“Not yet”, the man who was stared at by Zaimeng’s solemn gaze-Gevino shook his head calmly.
“The enemy outside the city has been on a fairly alert state. To solve the siege, we have to wait patiently for a better opportunity.”
“boom……”
“Chance? What opportunity?”
“Let this city be taken away by the enemy?”
“Is this the sincerity you promised?”
Zaimeng slapped the desk and stood up, and a series of questions were thrown at the Gevino who was holding the hot tea, and the scattered droplets almost fell on his face or in the tea cup.
“But, Lord Earl, there really isn’t any chance right now, and the chances of rash action being successful are too low.”
“Please be sure to hold on for some more time, I promise…”
Brows frowned slightly, and Gewino calmly persuaded.
But before he could finish speaking, Zaimeng interrupted him with a roar.
“Persevere, persevere, how can I persevere?”
“Look, look, look”, Zaimeng stretched out a finger and pointed in the direction of the city wall, as if the castle wall didn’t exist.
“You haven’t seen the battle in the past few days, the enemy, those enemies outside the city, are attacking this city almost non-stop.
In just a few days, in just a few days, the city wall that the Qatari family has spent nearly a hundred years building up little by little is like a prostitute whose clothes have been torn apart.
Persist, how do you want me to persist. “
“I don’t care if you have a good chance, Gewino, I only tell you one thing.
That is Qatar City cannot be thrown away, absolutely not.
Otherwise, I swear, you will be sad in the future. “
Seeing the murderous Count Zaimeng threatening him in front of him, despite the anger in Gerwino’s heart.
But more, it is deeply helpless.
He knew that what Zaimeng said was the truth.
After four consecutive days of fighting, the majestic walls of Qatar City were indeed damaged by the opponent’s trebuchet.
It is conceivable that the new earl, who cares very much about his father’s belongings, can be called a “prostitute”.
And this is all because of the loss of active offensive ability, and it is impossible to even contain the enemy’s offensive. The terrible situation that Qatar City is facing.
If it wasn’t for the opponent’s internal conflicts, they would rarely launch a strong offensive regardless of the cost.
Otherwise, the situation facing the city may be even more difficult.
Why knowing that it is extremely difficult to attack Qatar City, Lothar and Patrick are still confident from the beginning, the reason is here.
There is really no way to break the city, Lothar is already ready to tear down a section of the city wall directly.
Ten or twenty Allied trebuchets are destroyed every day due to long hours of work, but there are also twenty or thirty trebuchets made every day.
Qatar City is not a pure military fortress after all, and it does not have an Urn City or multiple walls.
Once there is a gap in the wall, the morale of the defenders will be hard to resist the general offensive launched by the Allied forces at this point.
The shortcomings are nothing more than just a little more work.
Of course, the crisis faced by Qatar City is not the main reason for the helplessness of Gewino.
What really made him helpless was the attitude that Earl Zaimeng showed at this moment.
Don’t look at the anger on the count’s face almost as real, and the murderous intent in his eyes is not fake.
But Gewino is very sure, these are just his disguise.
After all, this earl, but going round and round to get on the line with the three most popular princes in the country. Even less than two months after the death of his original wife, he will marry the younger daughter of the three princes, the young daughter of Grand Duke Ishtar Ogier, and become a brother-in-law with the three princes.
Whether they are the Three Princes or Grand Duke Ogier, they are all powerful figures in the Mittagon Empire (the nominal overlord of the Duchy of Perth, mentioned in Chapter 6 of Volume One).
Get in touch with these two, and suddenly the eldest son of the former Earl of Qatar has risen from a usable piece to the height of half a chess player.
Although did not completely separate from the identity of the chess piece, it is no longer a chess piece that can be thrown when it is used up.
Because of this, even if it is Gevino who has received the emperor’s order here, he can’t help but take his threat to heart.
Facing his question, he had to persuade him in a good voice.
Otherwise, as a messenger representing the empire abroad, how could Gewinuo endure a small duchy earl, being so presumptuous in front of him.
And with such scheming methods, how could he show such a motivating attitude just because of a casual warning.
No, maybe the smile that looked at Qiu Yu didn’t have much true feelings.
It was like a family banquet held not long ago to entertain myself, it was like the enthusiastic attitude of meeting a brother.
So the purpose of doing so at this moment, Gevano can guess it thoroughly after a little thought.
Of course, Gerwino felt that if he couldn’t figure it out, the earl wouldn’t come here.
One, naturally, as straightforwardly stated, put pressure on oneself, forcing oneself to use the hidden power to help him defend the city.
After all, the empire cares about this entire country, and the importance of a single Qatar city is hardly worth mentioning.
But for the earl in front of him, owning this city, which is considered the most important city in the entire empire, is the biggest bargaining chip in his hand.
If possible, Gewino would like to take this opportunity to put him together and teach him what rules are.
But considering the loss of Qatar City, it may not be possible for the two to completely abandon the earl and knock him off the clouds.
Considering the consequences of being an enemy of a poisonous snake, no matter how wronged in the heart of Gewino, he can only choose to forbearance at this moment.
Of course, the reason that Gewinuo used to persuade himself was that the empire could not lack the power of the earl for the time being in the process of seizing the Duchy of Perth.
As for the second purpose of Yu Zaimeng.
Gewino pretended to lower his head to think, and vaguely looked at the helpless messenger.
Shao Qing, raised his head to face Zai’s undiminished anger, and said solemnly.
”Please rest assured, Lord Earl, that you are already a member of the empire, and the empire will never let the courtiers feel cold.
Now that I have the same goals, I can assure you that I will do my best to cooperate with you.
Whether it is defending the city.
or something else. “
“Okay, then you can rest assured.”
exhaled a long sigh, the anger on Zaimeng’s face immediately disappeared, and soon he changed to an ashamed expression.
“Brother Gevino, I was really sorry just now”, he turned out from behind the desk, walked to Gevno and patted him on the shoulder.
“I’m really, really sorry.
You know, this city is the foundation of the entire Qatar family for generations. Every ancestor has devoted all his life and energy to him.
It symbolizes our family, since it took root in this land, all, all the glory.
Including my father, who unfortunately passed away. “
“So, I definitely don’t allow that rebellious son, with a group of outsiders and domestic slaves, to trample on this territory.
Please forgive me for the offense caused by the emotional excitement. “
Holding the palm of Gewino’s shoulders with a slight force, he didn’t press the corners of his mouth to look for words during the speech. It was like a temporary intention, and his expression had to be more sincere and sincere. After speaking, his eyes were already red.
If it weren’t for the provider of the chronic poison who had been asked by Gerwino to clean him up, he might have believed it.
“Of course, Lord Earl.”
gently put the warm teacup aside, Gevano stood up.
“I understand your difficulties very well, and I am very happy to do my best to help you.”
After thinking about it, he added, “No matter how bad the situation deteriorates, I believe you will be the master of this city.”
The implication is that he is willing to support Zaimeng.
Whether in this war or in the division of interests after the war.
Being an enemy of such a person is really nothing interesting.
……
When a rivalry between old foxes was staged in Qatar Fort.
In the Allied camp outside the southern end of the city wall, seven or eight kilometers away, Lothar was looking at the rain line outside the military tent, frowning in thought.
Patrick, who walked into the military tent, glanced at his lord, did not rush to ask, but went to his table, picked up the jug containing ale, and took two big mouthfuls unceremoniously.
“How?”
The sound of “gumming” awakened Lothar, and he turned his head slightly to ask.
“Huh, this horrible weather is really not cold.”
In no hurry to answer the question, Patrick walked to Lothar with the hip flask, and talked about him.
In response, Lothar just sent a “hehe” in an annoying way.
As far as the physical fitness of the adventure hero is, it is strange that it feels cold if it is not in Tianqin Mountain or Poimbru.
But.
“Look at your relaxed posture, there is a clue, right.”
The Allied coach took another sip of wine, and praised him with a thumbs up, “As expected, Lord Lothar, you can guess it.
Yes, there is a clue. “
“The report sent back by the scout just now, the folks of Vanskerrie, in the process of searching along the coastline, found a beach with traces of a large number of people landing.”
“According to the intelligence sent back by the eyeliner in the Allied forces, although there are indeed forces that have contacted other nobles in private, after digging deeper, they found that they should be members of the Grand Duke.”
“In the Thornburg area, on the 12th, the Principality Army under the command of Hollum once again found its old opponent. The forty-five thousand principality Army and the fifty thousand Marquis Army continued to fight every inch of their territory. There is no sign of the end.”
“And the latest information about Linhu Town hasn’t been obtained yet~www.mtlnovel.com~ I have sent a letter back to ask them to be on guard, and if necessary, they can organize population transfer to Nuremberg. There shouldn’t be too much danger.”
“To sum up, it can basically be determined that the back hand prepared by the’Earl’ should be an army.”
“An army that can be used to reverse the situation.”
“So you know the opponent’s strength and position?”
Patrick shook his head, but quickly continued.
“The folks at Vans Kerry thought that the number of people landing on that beach should be more than 1,000, and less than 5,000.
The war room has also analyzed it carefully and agrees with this number.
Because if it is less, it will not work as it should.
and more than five thousand people, then it will not show up until now. “
“Is it a scale that can handle five thousand people?”
“Yes, besides, I have sent all the adventurers out to search the surrounding villages and towns one by one.
These little boys have sharp eyesight, and it is impossible to avoid their eyes without professional camouflage.
With the network opened by the scouts in the field, it should be possible to find the specific location of the opponent quickly. “
“That’s good, get rid of this secret stinger, and then it will be easier.”
Lothar smiled easily when he heard that Patrick had arranged it.
