Under the command of the Baron and several knights, the garrison in Diguan Town hurriedly brought the turbulent oil, stone rolling wood and other city-guarding equipment and materials that Count Kodor had prepared before the expedition onto the city wall. The arrows that had been prepared had been distributed in place.

Although he had not experienced any battle formation for many years, the Kodor soldiers still skillfully completed the defense deployment of Diguan.

In the arrow tower high above the city wall, the Kodor soldiers were already in place, with bows and arrows on the strings. The soldiers in charge of the squad had already set up the rocks and were ready to greet the enemy troops who were siegeing the city at any time. Behind these people were soldiers holding shields.

The garrison on the other side of the river to the west of the city wall also became vigilant after receiving the order. On the east side of the city wall, the outpost of the Wells Legion just arrived at the outskirts of Diguan Town in the morning, the timid soldiers on duty ran towards the city, leaving an empty tower...

"Sir Baron, we have only more than one hundred people in total. How can we resist the enemy troops under the city?" A knight beside Yuri looked at the Wells Legion and the Longxia Legion under the city wall, and couldn't help but say what he said in his heart.

"Resist?" Yuri asked back, "I still don't know how capable we are. The enemy has two thousand, so what can we use to resist."

"Yes, even the Earl~"

"Hmm?" Yuri turned his head and glared at the Knight, who was so scared that the Knight quickly put his words back.

…………

Seeing that half a day had passed, the army under the city had not attacked the city for a long time, the defenders of Diguan Town were also a little tired while they were palpitations. Some of them hid in the corner drinking while the commander was not around. The soldiers in charge of the alert also sat on the ground and rubbed their legs that had been standing numb.

…………

"Report!" A sentry hurriedly ran towards the lord's hall of Diguan Town.

The leader of the army, Yuri, who was discussing the fight against the enemy with a group of officers, hurriedly stood up.

"Have the enemy started to attack the city?" Yuri asked the messenger.

"Report to the Baron, they did not attack the city, but went to the south of the city gate, leaving only more than a hundred cavalry to support the formation."

"You mean they're leaving?"

"Yes, Lord Baron."

When the officers heard that the enemy was heading east, they all breathed a sigh of relief. If they really started fighting with these people, everyone here would probably be in different places.

"Let's go and have a look." Yuri led a group of officers to the south wall.

…………

"Sir, I have placed seven or eight secret whistles around Diguan Town as you ordered, in case the defenders of Diguan sneak attack us from behind when we headed to the city of Kodor." Odo rode a horse from behind and reported to Yat.

"In addition, one hundred cavalry will be at the end of the army and wait until we go north of Diguan Town to follow us and beware of the enemy's harassment."

"The cavalry can retreat, they don't have the courage to catch up."

"Send the order and the army will pass faster."

"Yes, sir."

Early this morning, the Wells Army and the Longxia Army team left the temporary camp five miles south of Diguan Town and marched towards Diguan Town. When the army arrived at Diguan Town, the city walls southeast of Diguan Town were already wrapped in golden sunlight.

According to the analysis made by the Central Army Command Camp of the Wells Legion yesterday, the Wells Legion and the Longxia Legion were close to 2,000 people, and it was no problem to attack Diguan Town, which had only about 100 defenders. However, in this way, it would definitely cause certain casualties, and it would take more time than detouring the east side of Diguan Town.

The soldiers are very fast. It is less than five days before Flander stipulated. There is really no need to disrupt the marching for a small town of Diguan. After discussion, Yat finally decided to take a detour from the east of Diguan Town, and then follow the business road all the way north to the city of Codore. As long as the Wells Legion takes over the city of Codore, the town of Diguan in the south will become an isolated city, and will naturally abandon the city and surrender.

After the cavalry under the Wells Legion left, the leader of the army, Yuri did not order the pursuit. Instead, he let the defending troops shoot several rounds of arrows symbolically to interfere with the enemy's march. In order to avoid Count Kodor's investigation in the future and to convict himself of fear of the enemy and not resisting.

…………

To the north, the city of Codor, one day away from Diguan Town, is already busy at this time...

After Count Kodor fled back to Kodor from Diguan Town a few days ago, he did not care about rest, so he summoned his subordinates to his Earl's Mansion to discuss strategies to fight the enemy.

After seeing the power of the Wells Legion and the Longxia Legion, Earl Kodor began to become cautious. He knew that in a few days, the Wells Legion would definitely go north to attack the City of Kodor. Although there is a town in the south that can barely resist for a while, it will be captured by the Wells Legion sooner or later. Therefore, Earl Kodor ordered the troops around the City of Kodor to be mobilized to the City of Kodor to strengthen the City of Kodor. At the same time, the city defense is strengthened and the enemy's equipment is prepared. Even so, the city guards are only 500, and they cannot compete with the nearly 2,000 troops of the Wells Legion and the Longxia Legion.

While Count Kodor was worried about the upcoming war, two secret letters from the messenger made Count Kodor restless.

A secret letter came from a friend of Count Codor at the court of the Kingdom of France. The letter informed Count Codor that the Templar of France had already secretly provided Flanders with millions of Finney to support Flanders in recruiting troops and purchasing strategic materials. Under the influence of the Pope, the King of France held troops on the border of the Duchy Kingdom. As long as the Duchy state sends troops to attack Besanson, the French cavalry will immediately cross the border and annex the territory of the Duchy Kingdom. In addition, the Archbishop of France announced his support for Flanders, because Bernard had colluded with the pagans, and the church planned to send the pagans who betrayed God to the fire through Flanders.

Another letter made Earl Codor twitch after reading it. This letter came from Earl Codor's business partner in the Principality. Because he often deals with the nobles of the Principal Court, as long as he is willing to spend money, he can get some valuable information from those people. According to the inquiry of that business partner, under the pressure of the Kingdom of France and the Church in the west, the Principality no longer supports the Thorne court. Instead, he sent a special envoy to the Besanson court to show kindness with Flander, continue his "friendship" and continue his previous covenant. In this way, the Thorne court has become the target of public criticism, isolate and has no chance. It is obviously unrealistic to think about making a difference...

After reading these two secret letters, Count Kodor was in a dilemma. On the one hand, as an ally of Bernard, he had already sworn allegiance to Thorne's court and declared war on Flanders. At this time, he was tied to Thorne's court, and it was probably not so easy to escape. If he continued to support Thorne's court, it would be like declaring war on France, the church and the principality. In the end, he would definitely not have a good end.

On the other hand, the Wells Legion in the south was coming towards the city of Codor with a fierce momentum. Their own defenders were only 500 and they could not confront the enemy for a long time. In the end, the city would be destroyed and people would be destroyed. At this time, the Thorne court was pressed by the Restoration Army step by step on the northern line and could not escape.

Just as Count Kodor was in deep thought, the messenger who rushed over hurriedly brought another shocking news: the two thousand troops of the Wells Army and the Longxia Army had detoured through Diguan Town and towards Kodor City...
