Another swift eagle carrying a secret message flew out of the military camp at night, but Lorne couldn't help but smile knowingly after receiving Steve's message.
Instead of choosing to fight him to the death, he wanted to regain the lost disadvantage by intercepting him.
This move was indeed beyond Lorne's expectations.
But the biggest failure of the Baker family and the Marco family is that they underestimated Lorne's overall strength.
They always thought that Lorne was just an upstart, and no matter how powerful he was, there was a limit.
No one believes that Lorne is capable of fighting on two fronts.
Facing their attack, Lorne will definitely shrink all his strength.
Count Baker and Marquis Marco felt that Lorne would not have the strength to ambush them, so in the end they became Lorne's prisoners.
Their sons also felt that Lorne was not strong enough to fight them on the grassland and also dedicate his strength to defend a fortress belonging to others.
But actually before the war started, Lorne had already arranged for a force to take over the defense of the Harrison family's grassland fortress after the Baker family and the Marco family entered the grassland.
Although the original purpose was to prevent them from escaping, judging from the current results, Lorne's decision was undoubtedly the right one.
It would be an impossible task for the two families to quickly capture the Harrison family's fortress with their remaining troops.
There was a reason why Hayden only arranged for two thousand people to defend there at first.
The fortress that the Harrison family spent countless efforts building is not that easy to breach.
This is a fact that the orcs have proven with countless lives.
It does not require too many defenders.
Relying on towering city walls and countless defensive weapons, it can withstand ten times the number of enemies.
It doesn't even need a strong army.
Five thousand mixed soldiers with reformed people as team officers assist some recruited civilians.
The northern soldiers who were only good at field combat and had not experienced many siege battles were immediately blinded.
Even Sir Baker, who made the suggestion, felt numb after seeing the banner of the Fast family hanging on the Harrison family's fortress.
They lacked suitable siege equipment, and they had tens of thousands of troops, but they were facing The enemies on the wall were helpless.
Finding that one's own retreat had been cut off, the morale of the entire army fell into a low state of defeat.
If they continue to let it go, it is very likely that they will be finished before the Fast family calls.
Leading such a large army for the first time, Sir Baker inherited the strong-willed personality of his Baker family.
It doesn't matter if they lack siege weapons.
They rely on existing tools to transform them themselves.
Before Lorne chased him, Jazz still insisted on his original plan.
But at this time, some nobles had already noticed that the situation was not good.
Steve, who had been keeping an eye on the development of the situation, seized the opportunity to stand up and advocate negotiation with Lorne, and the second young master Baker also showed great confidence.
It seems that as soon as he takes action, the Fast family will get out of the way and return the patriarchs of the two families without fighting.
Not to mention, Steve did speak into the hearts of those nobles.
And there was nothing to lose by trying.
Some people began to support Steve's proposal, but compared to his brother, Steve's influence was too weak.
"Lornfast is a shameless villain.
His hands are stained with the blood of my northern nobles.
Who of you dares to believe the promises he made?"
Only by uniting can we gather all our strength.
As soon as Steve came out to cause trouble, his brother immediately suppressed him.
He never stopped publicizing what Lorne had done, and he didn't even need to deliberately slander him.
He just told the facts.
Those nobles who just wanted to take the negotiation route were immediately silenced.
After seeing that he had successfully suppressed the discordant opinions, Sir appealed to everyone: "To deal with shameless villains like Lorne Fast, we must hit his vitals.
Since he has ambitions to take advantage of Miss Anna Hubbs, we should stop thinking about him.
We, the Baker family, will attack first.

As long as we all work together to capture the fortress in front of us and drive away all the Fast families inside who are occupying Harrison's territory, we will be able to force Lorne Fast to surrender. " He had previously proposed to try to storm the fortress, but not many people responded to him at that time.
Now that the Jazz said that the Baker family would take the lead, they immediately gained everyone's support.
Unfortunately, facing the towering city wall and lacking siege equipment, the Baker family really couldn't drive out the Fast family inside as Jazz said.
If it were orcs, maybe they could try to climb up.
However, human bodies were never as strong as orcs, and they lacked suitable tools.
The offensive organized by the Baker family was quickly repulsed.
Having lost a lot of soldiers, Sir's face looked very ugly.
What made him even more angry were the nobles who refused to cooperate.
Seeing that the Baker family could not take the fortress, the attitudes of these people changed faster than the monsoon in the north.
But Sir Baker, who had discovered the Fast family's weakness through testing, still refused to give up.
He tried his best to persuade everyone: "Everyone, through the day's battle, I have found the Fast family's flaw.
The troops in the fortress are just ordinary soldiers of his Fast family.
You should have noticed during the battle during the day that they have no knights."
I thought Jazz had discovered some way to win, but it turned out that it was just because the Fast family lacked knights.
For a guy who has only been on the rise for a few years, although he has unique conditions, it is not news that he does not have enough knights to join him.
What's more, Lorne Fast's reputation has never been very good, and knights who are pursuing it will naturally not come to pledge their allegiance to the Fast family.
But what does this mean?
Even the city wall cannot be climbed, and whether there are knights or not is not a flaw at all to the Fast family.
Lorne didn't feel that he should place a large number of knights in the secondary troops.
According to his idea, the strength should of course be concentrated and used.
Among the knights in their hands, the Fast family also formed two knights.
One group is composed of purely transformed people, and the other group is smaller in number and is composed entirely of natives as the main force of the knights, and they are all by Lorne's side now.
In the fortress, there were only a few knights serving as commanders of the troops.
"In the daytime battle, the Fast family had the upper hand.
Maybe they felt that there was no need to send the knights out to fight."
The only person who would inflate other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige is Jazz's younger brother Steve.
Although what he said was a bit flattering to Lorne, some nobles still supported Steve's view.
After the day's battle, they decided it was time to consider Steve's previous suggestion
