On the first floor of the Mubao Lord Hall, a group of civil affairs officials in the valley in front of the wooden table heard the news, first looked around and whispered, their faces were full of worries and helplessness, and then they fell on the civil affairs chief Kuber, hoping that the old man could come up with a solution, otherwise the fire would almost burn his eyebrows.

Faced with such a drastic change, the reactions of these civil affairs officials are also normal. As the chief of grain production and building houses and workshop management of the civil affairs officials, all of whom are in charge of grain production in valleys and houses, do not know anything about military affairs, and there is no need to conduct military training on weekdays. The Wells Legion was previously responsible for the defense. After the legion went on a war, there were also special people responsible for the defense of the valley and surrounding territories. At this time, the legion was fighting outside, and the group of robbers were about to reach the doorstep of their homes, which could not relieve near-thirst.

"Everyone, just listen to me." Seeing everyone talking, Cooper finally spoke. Suddenly, the hall was silent. As the first person to follow Yat, this old man with a little white temple was one of the core figures of the valley. Half of the achievements of the valley can achieve such a thing will not be objected to anyone. His status is in the valley, except Yat and Lotti. It is probably difficult to find a third person.

Seeing that Cooper spoke, everyone listened to the wise insights of the prestigious old man in the territory.

"Everyone heard it just now," Cooper glanced at the people present and continued, "The group of people who captured Tignets had about forty people. Although the number was not large, the combat power was strong and not careless. The defenders of Tignets had forty or fifty people, and more than a dozen were killed, and the others escaped from the city. It is difficult to judge whether the other party had reinforcements. Now the lord is leading the Wells Legion to fight in the province of Kodor, and the garrisons of the valley also recruited some young and strong people in the territory and most of the people in the valley garrisons to go to the province of Kodor for support. At this time, the valley's defensive power was only fifty people in the valley garrisons led by Scott, and the small number of garrisons in Jushi Town and Beiguan Fort, the total number of troops was only about seventy. It is obviously not enough to deal with the fierce robbers."

"Yes, yes." Everyone looked around and whispered, thinking that what Cooper was right.

"So, everyone," Cooper touched his gray-white beard and continued, "the most urgent task is to immediately summon the garrison commanders of Beiguan Fort and Stonehenge to discuss strategies to defend against the enemy and jointly defend against foreign enemies."

"That's right, Lord Cooper, you are now in charge of the affairs of the valley, and we all listen to you." Lawrence, who was sitting beside him, stood up and said.

"Yes, Lord Cooper, we all listen to you." The others also agreed.

"good!"

…………

Finally, after everyone's discussion and after obtaining the consent of Loti, the mistress of the Valley Wooden Fort, the Valley officials responded to the emergencies from five aspects.

First, the 50 garrisoned peasant soldiers in the valley, as well as some garrisons in Jushi Town and Beiguan Army Fort, were immediately summoned 200 adult men from the territory to join the garrison army. The weapons armor and shields recently created by the Valley Weapon Workshop were distributed to them. As the commander of the garrison army, Scott was responsible for the defense of the valley. Although the combat effectiveness of the peasant soldiers was low, they seemed to be overwhelming in terms of number of people. They could bluff, make the enemy afraid and dare not invade easily, and buy time for the arrival of reinforcements.

The second is to immediately notify the consular people in Wincheston Manor and Ryan Manor, so that they can prepare in advance and defend against the sudden attacks of the enemy.

The third is to gather the county guards who escaped from Tignets, find out the enemy's situation, and at the same time send the county guards to several other manors to assist in defense.

Fourth, Fei Ge sent a letter and immediately notified Lord Yat of the attack and occupation of the city of Tignes by the enemy, asking him to send troops back to the rescue.

Fifth, comfort the people in the valley, avoid the spread of panic, and prepare for grain harvest.

After all the affairs were arranged, the civil affairs officials and the officers in charge of valley defense left and started to get busy to deal with the sudden breaking of the peaceful and peaceful life in the valley...

…………

At this time, the city of Tignes was no longer the scene where the market opened on time every day and the city gates were closed at sunset and dark.

Since the city gate was not closed yesterday afternoon, more than forty men disguised as merchants, when they pulled four or five carriages into the north gate of Tignes, they suddenly pulled out a large sword that covered the carriage with linen and disguised as goods. In the blink of an eye, the three county soldiers guarding the city and several tax collectors fell under the swords of the bandits. When the soldiers on the city wall just reacted and ran to sound the broken bell on the city tower, several guys who had cleared the city gate were already rushing up the tower with long swords stained with blood. Helplessly, outnumbered, the two soldiers guarding the city were chopped down on the edge of the city wall in a few seconds.

When the bandits rushed into Tignets, the vendors entering and leaving the gates were frightened by the scene in front of them and hid everywhere. In a blink of an eye, several unlucky guys had been stabbed to the ground by the bandits who rushed in without discrimination, bleeding and wailing. When the soldiers at the county town station heard the bell ringing, they were already running towards them, and immediately scared the soldiers running in front of them to stop. Everything seemed to have been planned, and the bandits knew which direction they would come from.

Compared with ordinary robbers and bandits, the combat effectiveness of the Tignets County City guards was still good. However, just after a few rounds of contact with this group of swords, several county soldiers fell to the ground. Faced with the fierce bandits, after more than ten of their own people were killed, the rest of the county soldiers knew that the situation was going to go and could not resist these guys at all, so they retreated to the south gate...

…………

"ah!"

In the hall of the Lords of Tignets, a county soldier who was confronting the group of bandits was shot in the leg by a flying arrow while running away. He staggered and rolled on the ground for a few laps and was caught by the bandits who were chasing them.

"Say, where is your vault?" A bandit shouted loudly at the captured county soldiers. Then there were waves of awls drilling into their thighs.

"Ah!" The painful screams of the county soldiers spread throughout the inside and outside the lord's hall. Several other bandits sat on the table in the lord's hall with their legs raised and gulped beer. While biting the roast chicken that came from the restaurant on the roadside when they attacked the city, there was still oil flowing from the corners of their mouths. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them, they burst into laughter. I think they had done such things a lot.

"Sir, please let me go. I have already told you that the tax collectors sent by Lord Yat are responsible for the tax collection, and they will send all the coins they have received back to the valley every day. They never spend the night here, and even our salary is sent from the valley every month." The county soldiers begged.

"You fart, how can you not have a vault in such a big place?" The bandit who asked was already furious at this time. Apart from snatching some money from the killing tax collectors at the city gate and plundering some oil and water in the inner castle, they could not find any other valuable goods after searching inside and out.

"Nick, I don't think that guy is lying." The bandit leader who had just put down the beer in his hand and touched the juice at the corner of his mouth said to the guy who was torturing the county soldiers.

"Sir Doyle, this bastard is definitely lying! He~" As soon as he spoke, the county soldiers who were tortured regretted it.

At this time, the county soldiers, who had been tortured with blood on their faces and were covered in wounds, glanced at the commander named Doyle, and then looked at the surrounding bandits. After thinking about the scene where those guys rushed into the city gate and rushed towards their base today, as well as their extraordinary combat power, he seemed to understand something...

"You bastard, tell you not to reveal our identity. Have you gotten into your mind?" The bandit leader shouted at the guy next to the county soldier.

"I~"

"Okay, please be careful in the future. If the matter is exposed, I see how many brains you have enough to cut!" After teaching the guy a lesson, the bandit leader winked at the minion beside him. The minion got up and walked towards the county soldiers, taking out the dagger at his waist.

The county soldiers looked at the minions walking over and kept trembling: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, don't ~ ah!" With a scream, the county soldiers stopped moving. The short sword had already penetrated his neck and blood flowed all over the ground...

Looking at the motionless county soldiers, the bandit leader ordered to the people around him: "Let the birds fly immediately and inform Thorne's court that the big thing is done!"

"Yes, Lord Baron!"

…………

Just the day after Yatt took the Fort Marsey, the Thorne court where Bernard was located received news that the Wells Legion raided the province of Codor. This made Bernard, who had been furious recently because of the news of the continuous defeat in the northern battlefield, felt cold on his back. In addition to fear, after a little thought, Bernard immediately decided to order the Cordor army to go south to defend the enemy and to annihilate the lonely army. If they were really allowed to go north, they would definitely be attacked from both sides, and it would be difficult to turn the tables.

After the messenger left, Bernard walked around the office, thinking about how to save the crisis if the Kodor army was defeated. After a while, a baron in the inner palace led the army knocked on the door and walked in after receiving the order.

After the Baron led the troops came in, Bernard signaled the Baron to sit down.

"Doyle," Bernard put his hands on his back, and turned his back to the leader of the army. "You know that the war ahead is tight, so I have to call you over."

"I wish to be loyal to the Count!" The leader of the army stood up and said.

"Okay!" Bernard turned around.

The reason why he called his inner-domestic knights at such a critical moment was that Bernard had thought about it after repeated consideration. This guy named Doyle had dealt with Assassin and knew how to disguise himself in the enemy's territory for secret assassin and was a sharp knife in his hand. When needed, he would pull out his scabbard and stab the enemy to the deadliest place.

Bernard is also an old fox. He will never sit and wait for the enemy to come to cut off his head when he watches his enemy stabbing him in the back.

Bernard possessed himself and put himself in the ear of the leader of the army and whispered: "You immediately summon forty elite soldiers in the army, prepare them, all in casual clothes, and secretly go to Tinets tomorrow morning... Then there will naturally be people there to meet you, and you must unite them and force..."

"Please rest assured, I will definitely complete the task!" The leader of the army replied after receiving the order.

"Very good! When you come back, your title will become the viscount of the province of Thorne!" This is Bernard's usual trick, using titles and fiefs to win people's hearts.

"Mr. Xie! I'll prepare immediately."
Chapter completed!
