"Who told me why those nasty and dirty pigs came to the city!"
In the seemingly solemn and magnificent City Lord’s Mansion, a male roar sounded in a spacious conference room. He was hysterically questioning the officials below, and he slapped the man at the table hard. His mouth foam almost sprayed on the official at the opposite table, which made a young teenager sitting next to him involuntarily turn sideways.
"Master Yaluo, the leaders were forced by the enemy to enter the city." A man stood up and said, his face is square, he is the kind of person who doesn't give in easily.
"Captain Jeff, I remember your mission should be to protect this city. No, you should protect us, right? Now please take a good look. Those pigs are encroaching on our property. As the captain of the guard, you , Shouldn't I perform my duty and drive them all out!" said the man called Yaluo.
"This is really..."
"Why, if you can't do it, let someone else be the captain!"
At this time, another official coughed lightly and said: "I have to remind Lord Yalor that since the death of Sir Duluf, our people have been reduced to one-third of the original number. This is aware Our tax revenue has shrunk greatly. Last quarter, we recovered less than half of the previous tax. If the leaders are driven away at this time, it is very likely that they will leave the territory."
"Without the leader, everything in the territory will be difficult to maintain. I don't know if you have considered it, Lord Yalor."
Yalor slapped the table with a slap, angrily said: "As long as there is a territory, there are not as many untouchables as there are. Besides, that is also something you should worry about. Otherwise, how can you be right with Sir Oss? Your salary."
The official said coldly: "It turns out that Lord Yalor still remembers that this territory belongs to Sir Oss, so whether this matter should be decided by Lord Sir?"
Yaluo looked at the boy next to him and said with a smile: "Oss is still young, as his uncle, I have an obligation to assist him. So this matter, I decided to do it."
"Uncle, I think..." The teenager next to him wanted to put forward a different opinion, and was suddenly glared by Yaluo. He was full of thoughts, but he could only swallow his stomach: "Yes, I think uncle That’s it."
Hearing these words, Team Captain Jeff and the disagreeing officials both showed disappointed expressions. They exchanged glances, and they all saw helplessness in each other's eyes. After Duluf's death, his only son Oss inherited the title and territory. However, Sir Hungry Wolf’s son had an extremely docile character, coupled with his young age, so his power was emptied by his uncle, Duluf’s younger brother Yalow.
Yalor controls this territory through Oss, and he is even more greedy than Duluf. Within a short period of less than a month, three consecutive tax payments were collected from the leading citizens. Not only has the people's grievances risen to the sky, even the officials underneath can't stand it. If a lord does not know how to cherish his people, the ending will only be abandoned. A knight who has lost a leader has no lords at all.
At this time, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a soldier rushed in and shouted: "It's not good, my sirs, the enemy has come outside our city!"
Hearing these words, Yaluo's arrogance just disappeared. He laughed, and pushed the boy next to him: "Master Oss, since the enemy has come. As a jazz, you have to go and see the situation."
"Me? But I..." The boy looked at Jeff for help.
Jeff sighed: "Master Oss, the soldiers and I will fight to protect you."
Only then did Oss nod his head, and said to Yaluo: "Uncle come with you too?"
Yalohaha laughed and said, "I'm just an insignificant person. You still have to decide this kind of big matter."
Jeff and other officials cast contemptuous glances at Yalor. This timid man, at a critical moment, really chose to retreat, and threw the heavy responsibility of determining the life and death of a city to the dying adult. Little Sir.
No matter what, Jeff and the others left with the young jazz. After they had all gone, Yaluo said with a sinking face: "A bunch of idiots, they are just a broken city. What's there to defend. If the other party wants it, just give it to them."
When he came to the head of the city, the little knight lifted his toes, and he could see an army on the ground outside Fenrir in the direction of the city. The army lined up in a regular formation, with infantry in the middle and cavalry on both wings. The infantry was subdivided into several branches. After Captain Jeff handed Oss a single-scope, the little Sir drove towards the opposing army.
The first thing I saw were rows of soldiers shirtless, wearing trousers, and carrying swords or warhammers in their hands. These people had no armor and different types of weapons. They looked like a group of slaves carrying weapons at will. Except for their sharp eyes, and with the gaze longing for something. This kind of gaze made Oss feel heart palpitations, at least he never saw such a look on any slave's face.
Behind them, there are regular foot soldiers. They wore uniform standard armor and carried war swords. After the infantry is the fire gun team, these soldiers in charge of long-range attacks wear dark red clothing, making them look like a fiery flame from a distance. After the fire gun team is still infantry, obviously the opposing commander put the fire gunner in a more important position.
This army is neatly formed, and while advancing toward Fenrir, it also continuously sends an invisible pressure toward the city. Oss had never seen such an array rod before, and when he put down the telescope, his little hands were already shaking. He glanced at the others, including Jeff, and their faces were ugly. Oss couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was finally not the most timid.
The army stopped a few hundred meters away from the city gate, and the fire gun team at the position of the central army suddenly went out. They had a hundred people. A hand of fire. The gun pointed at the sky obliquely, and then a hundred guns fired in unison. A single gunshot might not be too loud, but when hundreds of gunshots converged into an absolutely loud sound that shook the soul, even the captain of the guard, Jeff, shook his finger.
As for Oss, he simply hugged the captain's thick waist, like a frightened deer.
After the guns were fired, the fire gun team retreated, and the army separated again. Soldiers on both sides moved in the opposite direction neatly and horizontally for several steps, forming a passage. In the passage, before riding alone, it was a young boy. The silver hair refracted the brilliance in the sun. He raised his head, and the red pupils cast a sharp line of sight, sweeping between the people on the city.
When the line of sight passed by Oss, the opponent's eyes moved slightly, and the spin was as usual.
Alan couldn't help sighing as he looked at this devoid of vitality, and at the people on it who were like lambs to be slaughtered. As soon as Duluf died, this territory immediately lost the power to support it. If it weren't for it, it was too barren, so barren that there was no desire for other jazz to carve up. At this moment, the city of Fenrir must have disappeared long ago.
Putting away the complicated feelings, Alan raised his voice, first reported his name, and then said: "I am here on behalf of Earl Auban. Now, I declare that this place has been included in the Earl's territory. Finn. Lille, I ask you to surrender. If you resist, then my army will quell all opposition and smash all disobedience."
"But before that, I want to say this to the people in this territory. This is a war of nobles. As the leaders, you are innocent, so I can promise you. People in Fenrir, if If you leave the city, I can let you leave. If you are on my side, then I will provide you with sufficient food. I will tell you with practical actions that under my rule, this territory will be reborn. ." Allen rode a horse around in front of the army, and finally said: "This is my kindness, and there is only one chance."
The city of Fenry was silent. Allen did not let it be silent for too long. He said again: "As for the nobles, I can accept your surrender. But if you want to resist..."
Allen glanced at the army behind and said loudly: "Soldiers, tell them the result of the resistance!"
The eight hundred soldiers shouted in unison: "Dead!"
"Yes, my kindness is limited. My patience is also limited. Now, I give you one day. One day later, if the nobles do not surrender, I will attack!"
Allen made a gesture, and the army dispersed and set up a siege pattern, seeing the people on the top of the city sinking in their hearts.
There is a haze over Fenrir. In the streets and alleys, in the shadow of the buildings, people whispered to each other to discuss the conditions of Allen's opening. There is no doubt that this condition is undoubtedly too generous for civilians. As long as you have a normal mind and can see that the nobles have no chance of winning, then going to Allen is a normal choice. The only problem is that no one knows whether what the young nobleman said is credible.
The reality in the city is that there is a shortage of food, and people on the territory are basically concentrated in this city. In normal times, the residents of the city do not have a full meal, not to mention the influx of other residents. Food had been hoarded by the nobles not long ago. Yaluo wouldn't care about the lives and deaths of civilians at all. He only cared about himself.
So the people who were starving and wobbly on both sides of the food, when they saw Alan openly put a cart of food in front of the array, they couldn't help swallowing. This time, Willick stood in front of the formation. He patted the food on the car and said: "Our Lord Allen always says that he can do it. Look, now there is a cart of food in front of you. There are bread and water. , And even dried meat. They are here, just waiting for you to fetch them!"
Not long after that, a man staggered from the side of the city wall. He shouted: "I surrender! I surrender and give me food!"
A fire on the wall. The gunman raised his gun and wanted to shoot the man. With a hand on his gun, the soldier looked up, but it was his officer.
The officer shook his head and motioned to the soldier to put down his gun. r1058
