January 157 AD, Ladogir Fort, Calradia Continent.

A Nord scoundrel returning in a hurry broke the tranquility in the castle.

"Report to the right general! Urgent military situation! A large number of Vaegian troops have appeared near Zhivadin and are rushing towards the castle!" The hurried scout did not bother to let the guards report, and raised a sign invented by Xie Feng to symbolize "urgent military situation" "The token forced the guards not to dare to stop him. He rushed into the Lord's Hall and immediately knelt down on one knee to report to Aethelrod in the hall.

Aetherrod was having lunch at the time. He held the spoon and was stunned for a long time before he realized that the "right general" the scout was talking about was him. Aetherrod put down the spoon and picked up the towel beside him to wipe his mouth. Finally, he calmly asked: "How many people are there now?" In the past two days, Aetherrod has received news of troops entering Zhivadin, but the news is too fragmented to determine how many people there are in total. Now They are finally going to mobilize their entire army!

The scout's hands were trembling a little, and he said nervously: "At least... there will be more than a thousand people..."

Aethelrod said displeased: "What do you mean at least a thousand? Do you scouts all eat for free?"

The scout was so nervous that he broke into a cold sweat. After thinking hard, he said: "I guess... there are probably more than 1,500 people... no more than 1,700 at most..."

Aetherrod looked into the distance with dull eyes, and murmured: "Fifteen hundred people... It seems that Yarogork really spent a lot of money to eliminate us..." Then he turned to look at Randy on the side asked: "How long will it take for your captain to come back?"

Randy said: "Reporting to the right general, I received the news this morning that the left general has already calculated the needed new weapons in Wayeseji and is about to rush back. He should be on the way at this time. .Judging from the speed of action, it will probably take until tomorrow for me to arrive at the castle."

Aethelrod frowned: "Tomorrow night...Vegia's army will probably kill them tonight."

Randy thought for a moment and said, "How about we send a letter to General Zuo and ask General Zuo to ignore the weapons first, and let others rush back with the soldiers to join the battle?"

Aetherrod waved his hands and said: "No! There are nearly two thousand enemies in this battle. If we lose the support of weapons, how can more than two hundred of us resist it? If Xie Feng rushes back to join the battle, it will be the same. I drank poison to quench my thirst. So far, I can only hold on to the castle and wait for Xie Feng to come back!"

Randy's heart twitched. The number of soldiers left guarding the castle was estimated to be less than two hundred. With two hundred soldiers holding on to an attack of nearly two thousand, one can imagine how brutal it would be.

Aethelrod asked: "How many weapons are there in the city now?"

Randy thought for a while and reported: "1 Fire Dragon One, 18 Fire Dragon Two, 4 Fire Dragon Three, and 7 wind unloading trucks."

Aethelrod frowned: "Is this all left?"

Randy explained: "Many weapons are not durable. After fighting two battles, many ballistas broke down and engineers are repairing them."

After thinking for a while, Aetherrod said loudly: "This time, the 'Fire Dragon Three' can no longer take the lead. When the enemy attacks, as long as it enters the shooting range, just bomb at places with a lot of people!"

Randy nodded: "Yes!" Until now, "Fire Dragon Three" is still the secret weapon of the Restoration Legion. Except for the workers who participated in the experiment, there are almost no outsiders. Until the existence of "Fire Dragon Three", "Fire Dragon Three" "It has always been classified as a military secret, and we are ready to take the enemy by surprise at any time. Now we are going to face a flood of enemies. We can't care so much about whether it is confidential or not. We must ensure that the army is not annihilated." .

Aetherrod walked up the city wall and looked to the east. At this time, there was no movement on the horizon, but Aetherrod knew that an army of thousands was already commotion below the horizon. At the latest in the early morning of tomorrow, Aetherrod would

This army will camp and line up below Ladogir Fort, waiting for an opportunity to attack the city.

"Tomorrow?" Aethelrod looked up at the setting sun and said to himself: "I'm afraid Christmas Eve this year will not be peaceful..."

Late that night, the sky was pitch black, but the snowfield was still bright white. The huge moon hung in the sky, and the moonlight was extremely bright under the reflection of the snow. The marching army hardly needed additional lighting.

Not far outside Ladogir Fort, where the sentries could see with the naked eye, tents were set up one after another, forming a semi-encircled state with Ladogir Fort as the center.

"Right General!" Randy reported to Aetherrod: "The enemy has camped outside the city to rest. It is estimated that they may attack in two hours."

Aethelrod looked at the topographic map on the table and said without raising his head: "I understand."

Randy suggested: "Sir, why don't you take advantage of the enemy's initial fatigue and send a cavalry team to wash it out."

Aethelrod raised his head, looked at Randy, and asked, "Do you know how many archers there are in the enemy army?"

Randy responded: "No less than 500."

Aethelrod asked again: "What about the number of cavalry in our army?"

Randy hesitated and said: "The restoration army plus the blizzard army... no more than 70..."

Aethelrod nodded slightly and said: "So, please retreat first."

Randy said helplessly: "Yes!" Then turned and left.

Aetherrod silently looked at the crescent-like enemy troops on the map, and the star-like Ladogir Fort surrounded by the crescent moon, and frowned more and more. Considering the quantity and quality of his own troops and the

The castle is so strong that it is impossible to defend against the attack of nearly 1,000 troops. Even if we want to defend until Xie Feng returns with weapons, it will not be easy. Do we want to abandon this castle that has just been conquered? Or should we say?

, to defend to the last soldier?

Aethelold sighed deeply and stared at the blank ceiling with his dull eyes.

At two o'clock in the morning, we broke camp.

At Yarogerk's signal, the lords commanded their soldiers to line up silently. The whole process was silent but murderous. The soldiers all began to gear up and prepare for the battle that was to come.

Obviously, the peace that has come for a few months has driven these blood-licking soldiers crazy with boredom. But more importantly, without fighting, the soldiers' only income is a fixed weekly salary, and fighting can bring them

A lot of loot. Of course, there are also people who are afraid of death and are unwilling to participate in the battle.

Aethelrod stood on the city wall and watched from a distance, his mood became tense, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare for battle.

An hour later, the two armies faced each other below the city.

Yarogork took the lead and shouted to the opposite side: "The rebels surrender quickly! You can consider incorporating them into our army. If you resist tenaciously, don't blame me, the Kingdom of Vigia, for being unkind and righteous!"

As for the Restoration Alliance, Aethelold was sitting in the army. Randy stepped forward and shouted to the opposite side: "Shameless! Our army is the bodyguard of Prince Vidim, the legitimate heir to the throne of Virginia! Back then, Baerle

Ke coveted the throne and used despicable means to usurp it. Now that Prince Vidim has grown up, he must take back everything that belongs to him! If you, the lords of Vaegia, are willing to surrender early, abide by the laws of the country, and serve Prince Vidim as your

The king’s words will be rewarded one day! If you still turn a deaf ear and act as a coward, you will be punished by God!”

After Randy finished speaking, the lords of Vigia began to whisper, but fortunately, those who can still be lords now, except for the family of Villanboye, are basically willing to follow Yarogelk

, so Randy’s words didn’t get much response.

Yarogerk laughed loudly on his horse and said: "The legitimate heir to the throne? Let's not talk about whether your Prince Vidim is real. Even if he is really the Prince Vidim of that year, who will admit that he is a direct relative of the royal family?

?Back then, the late king (referring to Berlek) knew everything and had already found out that Vidim was an illegitimate son - Vidim's mother also confessed to this before she died. The so-called royal mark on his body must be a fake. Keep in mind

Since the old king (referring to Vidim's father) still loves Vidim, and Vidim doesn't know about it, if Vidim is willing to surrender, I can consider making Vidim a noble, named Vidim.

Mboye, give me another piece of land that is enough for self-sufficiency. But if you still want to usurp the throne, don't blame our two thousand troops for being rude! Although our Kingdom of Vaegiya is kind, we are not easy to mess with!" Yarogel

As soon as Ke finished speaking, his soldiers quickly started cheering, as if they were already very generous to the enemy.

Randy also seemed to expect that Yarogork would try his best to quibble, so he winked back. The soldiers behind Randy gradually separated into a path, and two horses walked out one after another, with the one in the front wearing a strange mask.

Prince Vidim, closely followed by the eloquent Hal.

Seeing Hal walking out, Yarogork furrowed his brows quietly, as if he was still afraid of this person, so he ordered back: "Archers, prepare!"

There was a sound of "swish", and the archers in the Vaegian legion all stepped forward, picked up their bows and arrows, and aimed at Vidim and Hal.

Randy shouted in shock: "Yarogork! What are you doing!"

Yarogerk shouted: "Stop talking nonsense! I don't want to hear your sophistry! Now you have only two choices, either surrender or die in battle! I give you five seconds to think about it!" Randy quickly greeted Vidi

Mu and Hal returned to the formation and left the shooting range of the enemy archers. At this time, Yarogerk's countdown sounded: "Five, four, three..."

"I have something to say!" Hal, who retreated into the formation, hurriedly shouted to the Vaegian Legion.

Yarogerk did not give Hal a chance and continued to shout: "Stop talking nonsense! Two, one..."

"Wait!" Aethelrod, who was sitting in the army, finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted.

At this slightly familiar voice, Yarogerk was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Who!"

Aetherrod walked out of the queue of soldiers and said to Yarogork: "The right general of the Vaegian Restoration Alliance, Aetherrod Boyer."

Seeing Aetherrod, Yarogork smiled slightly and said, "Are you the Aetherrod who claims to be a noble? The rebel leader who leads a group of minions?"

Aethelrod raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Dear King Vaegia - maybe I want to add the word 'pseudo' in front of it. I am now the commander of this war, please speak freely."

Be respectful.”

Yarogork said: "Oh oh oh, okay. What did you just say? Right General, right? This is a title invented by your rebels? What do you want to say?" At the same time, he aimed his eyes maliciously.

With Aethelold beside Hal, it seemed that as soon as Hal opened his mouth, Yarogork would immediately interrupt the conversation and issue an order to attack the city.

Although he was still dissatisfied with Yarogork's tone, now that the enemy was strong and we were weak, Aetherrod could only endure it. Aetherrod said slightly: "Our army is trying to restore Prince Vidim to the throne.

With the title, the army only has 200 people, but your army suddenly gathered nearly 2,000 troops. Are you a little eager to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces? If you really think that our Prince Vidim is fake,

They are illegitimate children, they can confront each other in front of everyone, why are they so hasty to fight with swords?"

Yarogerk laughed and said: "What is there to confront? If I am willing to confront with peace of mind, today a Prince Vidim will appear, tomorrow a Princess Via will appear, and the day after tomorrow a Prince Berg will appear. If I were a

A confrontation, even if I have the patience, my lords don't have the same patience, so today I am going to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and tell you usurpers, listen, I, Great Virginia, am not a soft persimmon, I can pinch it if I want, and eat it if I want to.
