Chapter 447: Entering Kodor City

A day after leaving Diguan Town, the Wells Legion who had traveled through the western business road of Boguo had already thrown the low hills behind.

At this time, what was presented to everyone was the plains of Kodor Province. The group who had been in the valley for a long time could not help but feel deeply moved when they saw the scene in front of them. Looking into the distance, you could vaguely see lakes of different sizes shining under the sunlight. In addition to the grass, there were patches of wheat fields and other lands with vegetables, fruits and melons. A gust of wind blew, and the air was full of the smell of fruits and melons, which made the officers and soldiers swallowed their saliva. If the army had not ordered the soldiers to strictly prohibit disturbing the people and feeding the fruits and vegetables in the fields of farmers, these greedy guys would have rushed into the field full of fruits and melons and fruits and melons and fruits and vegetables, and they would have rushed into the field full of fruits and melons and fruits and vegetables, and they would have been eating them.

If the crops in the valley do not increase their yields through "special" methods, they will definitely not be as prosperous as here. It is no wonder that Kodor Province is so rich and prosperous. The scene in front of him is the best explanation.

Yat, Angus, Odo and others who were riding a horse in front of the team were also constantly moved when they saw the scene in front of them.

"Sir, it would be great if our valley could have this scene. Look at the surrounding area of ​​dozens of miles, all the flat and fertile land, how good the wheat in the ground grows." Odo said as he used his nose to feel the fragrance of the wheat mixed in the air.

"Yes, this place is located in a plain area, and there are good places for farming everywhere. Unlike our valley, it takes a lot of time and energy to find a suitable place to cultivate fertile land. And it also needs to keep the soil fertility, otherwise the land will become extremely barren in a year or two." Yat said as he looked at the wheat fields in the distance.

"Sir," Angus continued, "you said that if we defeated Thorne's army this time, would the New Lord grant you a fertile land for your contribution?"

"Yes, sir. If so, we can support more troops and recruit more leaders." Odo said excitedly.

"The war is not completely over yet, and it is not the time to think about these things." Yat said calmly.

While speaking, a sound of horse hooves running came from ahead.

"Report!" The soldiers in charge of the provocate in front of the army came to the front of several people urgently.

"What's the matter?" Yat asked.

"Report to you, a man suddenly appeared in front of the army who claimed to be the personal bodyguard of Count Kodor. He said that Count Kodor had a secret letter to you."

"Earl of Codor?"

"Sir, could this be that guy's trick, trying to delay our attack on Codor City?" Angus asked anxiously.

"There is a possibility. Since he has come, it depends on what conspiracy he can have." Yat looked at Angus and said.

"When it comes to conspiracy, I'm afraid that the count can't catch up with us lords." Odo joked, which caused the three of them to laugh.

"Okay, bring him here immediately." Yat said to the messenger.

"Yes, sir."

…………

"You were sent by Earl Kodor to deliver the letter?" Yat asked Earl Kodor's personal bodyguard.

"When I say yes, yes. The Count ordered me to hand you this secret letter, and told me to see you open it in person." As he said that, the guard handed over a secret letter sealed with fire paint to Att.

Yat took the secret letter, opened the seal and took out the sheepskin. Angus and others looked at Yat, and saw him glanced at him quickly and handed the sheepskin to Ron and put it away.

"You go back and tell the Count that I will definitely arrive at the city of Cordore tomorrow when sunset." Yat said to the messenger after seeing it.

"Yes, sir. I'll go back and tell the Count." After that, the guards ran towards the city of Cordore with their horses.

Watching the guards who were leaving gradually disappear at the end of the road, Angus and Odo slowly turned their eyes to Att.

"You must want to know what is in the letter." Yat deliberately kept it in hiding, making the two more look forward to it.

"Sir, just say it." Odo urged.

"Okay, I'll tell you~" Yat signaled the two to get closer.

"What, make peace?" Odo almost shouted after hearing this.

"If you don't talk about this matter now, it's almost dark. Order the army to set up camp on the spot." Yat said to the two.

"Yes, sir."

After a while, after the order was passed down, the soldiers of the Legion became busy...

…………

"Sir, do you think Count Kodor is sincerely making peace?" Angus asked Yat in the command camp of the Wells Legion's central army.

"Yes, sir." Odo continued, "that bastard is not a good thing. He led his troops to attack Fort Marsey a few days ago, and today he sent someone to make peace. There must be a conspiracy in it."

Yat didn't speak, just walked around the tent. When the two stopped talking, Yat spoke.

"There is nothing impossible. Now the court of Thorne has been retreating under the fierce offensive of the Restoration Army. And Lord Galvin also wrote to me before that the Principality began to re-support the new prince's Besanson court. The Archbishop of Paris and the Paris court also announced their support for Flander. The situation is now very clear." Yat analyzed to the two of them the situation in the Besanson court and the support of various forces for the Besanson court.

"Sir, to put it in the words you said before, Thorne's court is now the grasshopper in the autumn." Angus used this fresh word with interest, which caused everyone to laugh.

"Sergeant, you are right. This is because the court of Thorne is now isolated and helpless, so Earl Kodor made peace. I think this is a good proposal. This will not only reduce unnecessary casualties, but also speed up our pace of marching Thorne." Yat explained.

After the final discussion, the army accelerated its march tomorrow and arrived half a mile south of the city of Kodor before sunset to camp. Then discuss peace talks with Count Kodor. If there is any fraud, the Wells Legion prepares for war immediately and attacks the city of Kodor. If Count Kodor opens the city and surrenders, the army will enter Count Kodor.

…………

In the city of Kodor, early in the morning the next day after the personal guards returned, Count Kodor ordered the housekeeper to arrange a grand banquet in his Earl's Mansion. He just said that there were important guests banquets, but he did not mention who was specific, and only a few of his confidants knew the inside story.

At this time, the walls of Kodor City were also extremely busy. The stone rolling wood and turbulent prepared a few days ago were also moved into the warehouse under the command of the officers. After seeing that these enemy-defying materials were not needed, the soldiers guarding the city of Kodor were full of joy because this meant that there was no need to fight anymore. The soldiers guarding the city were also withdrawn, and only a few people were left on the wall on duty.

…………

At sunset, a team of nearly two thousand people slowly came to the city of Kodor under the guidance of several outposts. The soldiers standing on the south wall of Kodor were not panicked after seeing the emergence of the army, but ran to the hall of the Lord's Hall of Kodor to report to Count Kodor.

Early this morning, Count Kodor told the city guards that once the north army appeared in the south of the city, he would immediately report to him and not be allowed to make a statement. Those who violate the orders were severely punished.

"Report!"

"What's the matter?" The Count of Kodor, who was explaining the banquet with the butler, called the messenger to come to the side.

"Sir, that army has reached half a mile south of the city." The messenger whispered to Earl Kodor.

"Okay, go down."

"I'm sure everything I've explained to you." Earl Kodor turned around and said to the butler beside him.

"Don't worry, Lord Earl. I will definitely do what you have explained."

After saying that, Count Kodor walked out of the lord's hall.

…………

Outside the southern gate of Kodor, Count Kodor had already been waiting not far outside the city gate with a dozen personal guards and several knight civil servants. According to the agreement in the letter he ordered to hand over to Yat yesterday, at sunset, he would lead people to wait outside the southern gate for Yat and others to come, and discuss and discuss the conditions together.

After standing outside the city gate for a long time, no one came. The already anxious Earl Kodor saw several knights and civil servants whispering behind him, and was immediately furious.

"Shut up!" Earl Kodor turned around and roared at the few people. He was so scared that a civil servant's felt hat almost fell to the ground. When Earl Kodor turned his head and looked at the south trade road, he saw more than fifty cavalry following Yat, slowly coming towards the few people.

"Great Viscount, you are indeed a person who keeps your promise." Seeing Yat riding over, Earl Kodor lowered his posture and hurriedly met him. The group behind him hurriedly followed Earl Kodor, fearing that his master would encounter an accident.

"Great Earl, you have been waiting for a long time." Yat replied politely after dismounting.

"Mr. At this time, it's getting late. Do you see if we will discuss peace talks after entering the city? I have prepared a banquet for you and your officers, and wait for the honorable guests to arrive."

"Thank you for your kindness," Yat thanked, "but there are soldiers of the Wells Legion behind me. As the highest commander of the Legion, I can't make myself good wine and meat, but let them hungry."

"This~" Earl of Kodor understood what Yat meant. He wanted the soldiers of the Wells Legion to enter Kodor City.

"If the Count feels embarrassed, then please ask the Count to visit my Central Army camp." As soon as Yat said this, the knight behind Earl Codor put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist. Angus and Ron, who were standing behind Yat, took a step forward to protect Yat, and their right hand had already drawn the sword.

"Stop!" Earl of Codor turned his head and scolded the knight behind him.

"Mr. Att, you're laughing." Earl Kodor said apologizing. "You also saw that there were no soldiers fighting against the enemy on the city wall. I had already withdrawn them all early this morning, just because I was afraid that you would be too concerned. This would also show my sincerity." Earl Kodor quickly explained.

Faced with the enemy who had just fought against him a few days ago, Yat naturally also had his hands left. Before the army marched into the city of Kodor, the contingent team had already lurked in the city to find out the enemy's city defense. Once the Earl of Kodor made a fool, he immediately led the army to attack the city.

Yat, who had already known the situation in Kodor, said to Earl Kodor: "I understand the sincerity of the Count. If I bring my officers into the city to eat and drink and put my brothers aside, I am afraid they will be unhappy." Yat turned around and forgot to the Wells Corps station half a mile away.

"Well, since Lord Yat insists that the Wells Legion enters the city of Codor, you must promise me a condition and guarantee it with the reputation of the noble." Earl of Codor looked serious. If he did not hand over the city defense, the peace talks would not make any progress.

"Please speak, sir." Yat looked at Angus beside him, turned to Earl Codor and said.

"In order to show my sincerity, after the Wells Legion entered the city of Codor, I can hand over the various important places of the city defense to your people to guard, but the Wells Legion soldiers are not allowed to move around at will without your order, they are not allowed to harass the residents of the city, nor burn, kill, loot. In addition, I can provide food to your soldiers for free. As long as Lord Yat agrees to my conditions, the Wells Legion can immediately follow me into the city."

"Okay! Since Lord Earl is so sincere, I will lead the Wells Legion into the city now."

"Send the order, the whole army enters the city!"

"Yes, sir." After saying that, Angus rode his horse toward the temporary camp of the Wells Legion.

When the army arrived at the city, Yat ordered the soldiers of the Wells Legion to not disturb the people after entering the city, nor burn, kill and loot. After arriving at the garrison, they were not allowed to leave the garrison without authorization. Those who violated the orders were severely punished.
