Via was also unlucky.
A few days ago, she had a conflict with Nene from Wildfire Town, and was about to make a killing move, but was stopped by Aunt Sofia who was hiding on the side.
But after all, she traveled a long distance, and fought a fierce battle with Nenei, and also suffered some minor injuries, after leaving Wildfire Town, all the way south to Denzel City, originally only rested in the city for one night, but I didn't expect that after Char sent someone to send the news of the former enemy, Green immediately ordered the city to be sealed, the walls were cleared, and the scorched earth strategy was self-contained, and the city was only allowed to enter but not leave.
Later, Odin's army came to the city, but he blocked Via in the city and couldn't leave.
After waiting for two days, the army of Odin left, and Via was so anxious that he could fly to Osgilia with wings on his back, where he was willing to stay here Besides, now the situation in Byzantium is erosive, there are rumors everywhere, and there are not many rumors in the market every day, one moment that hundreds of thousands of rebels have occupied all the northern part of the empire, and another time it is rumored that Osgilia has broken the city, and another time it is said that the Rodria cavalry has broken the enemy, and the other time it is said that the Odin and the rebels have joined forces with Via and waited for two days, and the patience has long been exhausted, and today she refused to wait any longer, so she decided to force her way out of the city and go south.
I just want to break through the hurdle.
"It turned out to be you" Char was naturally surprised when he saw Wei, but then he showed a kind smile, let the surrounding defenders disperse, and said with a smile: "Spread out, this is Lord Ben's friend, spread out" Via stood there, looking at Char proudly, with a grim expression on the half of his face exposed, Char walked up to her, raised his hand, and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here, Miss Via" Wei Ya just stared at Char coldly, with a little vigilance in his eyes.
"You don't have to look at me like that."
Char shook his head: "No matter how you say it, it's an old acquaintance, besides, you saved me once" "I'm going out of town."
Via frowned, but said this coldly.
Char was stunned, and then smiled: "Out of the city" "Out of the city" Wei Ya looked at the people around him, and then looked at the entourage behind Char's side, Char immediately understood, turned around and said, "Let's all disperse." ” After speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed Via's arm, pulled her forward, and said with a smile: "This is not the place to talk, go back first, even if you want to go out of the city, let me arrange it." ” Originally, when Char's hand was stretched out, Wei Ya just showed a cold light in his eyes, but then he heard Char's last sentence, and finally sighed, did not dodge, and let Char pull him towards the city.
The two didn't talk along the way, Char took Via to the garrison in the city, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Sharpa shouting and commanding several guards to run out of it with a bundle of arrows and crossbows, and saw Char head-on, and then saw Via next to Char, Sharbah suddenly stared at a pair of eyes, stood there and screamed "ah", and the bundle of arrows in his hand was also thrown on the ground, and then he suddenly came to his senses, Sharba seemed to be a little at a loss, and immediately knelt down on one knee, and shouted: " Lord Viva."
Via snorted, didn't look at Sharpa, and walked past Sharpa's side, only after two steps, he coldly dropped a sentence: "Get up, I'm not your personal guard captain anymore." ” Sharpa seemed to have great respect for Via, and quickly jumped up, but caught up with two steps and followed Via, and whispered, "My lord" Via Huoran turned his head and stared at Sharpa coldly: "I'll say it again, I'm not your commander anymore" "Yes," Sharpa smirked, scratching at the back of his head.
The garrison mansion was empty, and most of the people in the city were sent to the city wall to defend the city, and when they came to the garrison mansion, as soon as they entered the hall, Wei Ya immediately said: "Char, I don't have time to delay, just a horse, and then open the city and let me go south immediately."
Char scratched his head, looked at Via, and said with a wry smile: "Naturally, there are horses, but at this time, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to get out of the city." ” When Via heard this, he frowned and was silent.
Char glanced at Sharpa, glanced at Sharpa, and then said: "Although the Odin army outside the city has retreated, there are still thousands of people blocking outside, and I can't open the city gate at this time."
Seeing that Via's face was dissatisfied, Char immediately sped up his voice and said: "Besides, even if you are let out, but now the direction of the south is the army of the Odin, I expect that after their army goes south, they must have sent countless teams to collect food nearby, and if you go south out of the city alone, I am afraid that you will meet the Odin people in less than half a day." ” Via sneered: "This is my problem. ” Char sighed: "I know you are very skilled, Hasting" As soon as he said this, he suddenly felt a sharp look from Wei Ya, Char quickly shut up and said with a smile: "With your skills, even if you meet a small group of Odin, you are naturally not afraid, but" Wei Ya was a little impatient, shook his head and said: "Since there are still Odin people outside the city, you can't open the city gate, and I won't force it, you just need to order the soldiers defending the city not to stop me, and I can cross the city wall and leave by myself." ” Char looked at Via: "You went over the city wall without horses, and walked to Osgillia on two legs, now the vicinity of Denzel City has become scorched earth, and there is no one for a long time, you go out of the city alone, don't try to find horses, let alone horses, not even cattle, sheep and livestock."
Wei Ya was furious and stared at Char: "Talking so much nonsense, do you want to detain me?"
Char smiled: "We have no grudges and no hatred, speaking of which, I still owe you a life, why should I detain you You are my life-saving benefactor, I just don't want to see you go out of the city and die." ” Sharba saw Char's eyes on him beside him, and said with a smile: "Even if you want to leave, it is not convenient for you to be in the daytime now, it is better to wait until the evening, and in the dead of night, we will quietly put you down from the city wall and hang a horse for you, it is better than your open battle in broad daylight."
Via listened and pondered for a while before finally nodding: "Okay, I'll wait until it's dark before leaving." ” To be honest, Char really had a good intention, since Viaken stayed for half a day, Char immediately ordered someone to bring food and drink to let Via rest.
Taking advantage of letting Sharpa go out to prepare, Char also followed, pulled Sharba aside, and asked in a low voice, "Are you familiar with her?"
Sharpa smiled: "Lord Via is the captain of General Adric's personal guard in the past, and she is my immediate boss, and the old people in our personal guard team are sincerely in awe of her, and everyone in the battalion was convinced back then. ” Char nodded, said no more, and then turned back to the hall alone, and then opened the servants in the hall again, and then smiled: "Speaking of which, the favor I owed you at the beginning has not been repaid properly."
Wei Ya's tone was indifferent: "You don't have to thank me, it was entrusted by others to save you in the first place, thank others if you want to thank you." ” Char's eyes flashed: "Who told you to save me?"
Via snorted and shut up, but continued to eat on her own.
Char waited for a while before smiling bitterly: "Since you don't want to say, I won't ask."
It's just" Via finally raised his eyelids: "Just what" Char shook her head: "I'm just a little worried. ” After a pause, he glanced at the absence of anyone outside the door, and then said in a low voice: "The situation in the empire is erosive, the rebels are besieging Osgilia, and I don't know what the situation in Yanjing is now."
The Odin people are moving south again, and at this moment I am trapped in a lonely city here, although the Odin army outside has left, but I am alone, so blindly defending is not a way" Via sneered, and there was a bit of mockery in his tone: "I didn't expect you to still be a loyal person to the empire" Char shook his head: "When it comes to loyalty to the empire, I don't dare to say it, but when I receive kindness, I naturally have to repay it."
The emperor treats me well, and at this time, if I abandon the city and run away, it will be a little too inferior.
It's just that in this situation, there is a strong enemy outside, and there are no rescuers inside, so I'm worried that this place will not be able to hold on.
Not to mention anything else, the Red Snow Army went south to look for food, and once they were replenished, they could wipe out my small city when they turned around. ” After listening quietly, as if pondering for a while, she finally sighed, she looked up at Xia Ya for a long time, and suddenly said, "Evacuate." ” "Hmm" Via frowned, as if he didn't want to say it, but finally said it: "Let me tell you the truth, I came all the way from the north, the Odin people's march this time is very strange, several legions were hastily mobilized, and it was clearly a posture of surprise attack, in addition to the Red Snow Army, I also knew that Hasting's Black Flag Army also went south, but it bypassed the wildfire field, and the direction of the attack was the northwest of the empire, in addition to two Odin legions have also been drawn, but I don't know where the direction of their attack is, in short, this time, Odin can be regarded as sending all the legions that can be mobilized in the country to the north of the Byzantine Empire, and there is no force that can resist for thousands of miles, I'm afraid" "I'm afraid of what" Via sneered: "This time, even if Byzantium is not a dead country, the thousands of miles of land in the north will definitely no longer belong to Byzantium after the war." ” Char's face changed, his heart was pounding, and he stared at Via: "Where did you get this news?"
Via frowned: "You don't care about this. ” Char was silent, just staring at Via, and after a while, he suddenly spoke: "It was Cavishir who asked you to save me last time." ” He deliberately said this very slowly, his tone was understated, but his eyes were staring at Via, trying to capture the subtle changes in the expression on Via's face, but Via listened, but his expression was indifferent, he just glanced at Char so lightly, and he didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, but picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water.
Her expression made Char a little unsure, but the doubts in her heart deepened, and she continued to probe: "I don't understand, when I first joined the army, a nameless boy, how could Cavihill work a master like you to save me, what value do I have worthy of his attention?"
Via looked at the sky outside the window, and said lightly: "You don't have to be tempted, I won't answer you." ” Char was slightly depressed in his heart, but then his heart moved, and he suddenly smiled: "I heard that Kavihir was assassinated in Yanjing, you know the news."
Sure enough, Via was finally no longer indifferent, a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Char deeply.
When Xia Ya saw Wei's reaction, he was more confident in his heart, and continued: "Originally, the sudden break between the royal family and the governors of the military region this time was too sudden.
I also thought about it carefully, if Cavishir was alive, with his cleverness, even if he had to deal with those warlord henchmen, he would not have started a war so rashly, the strength of the royal family was already at a disadvantage, and it was too reckless to break with the warlord party so openly.
But Kavihir died suddenly, so the emperor was furious, and immediately began to purge the warlords, which provoked the warlord party to rebel, which makes sense, but I think about it, and I feel that this matter may not be so simple. ” "Why" Char coughed: "The confrontation between the royal family and the warlord has been going on for several generations, and the strength of the two sides is compared, and the disadvantage of the royal family is getting bigger and bigger."
If the royal family can continue to endure and plot slowly, there may be three points of hope.
But if you openly use force to confront and everyone tears their faces to start a war, then the royal family is simply killing itself.
Such a simple truth, I can think of it, could it be that Kavihir and the Emperor couldn't have imagined it, but in the end, they still got this kind of scene, hum. ” Via shook his head: "There is a large-scale invasion of Odin outside, and hundreds of thousands of rebels inside have openly erected anti-flags, I can't think of any hope for the royal family." ” She was also a little dazed in her heart, and she couldn't help but say what she said in her heart In fact, in Yivia's position, she didn't care about the life or death of the royal family, the only reason why she was in such a hurry to rush back to Yanjing was to hear the news of Cavishir's death and was eager to go back to find out the truth of the matter.
Char also smiled bitterly: "Indeed, in the current situation, no matter how you look at it, this Byzantine royal family has no chance of winning, but I always feel that things are not so simple." ” Wei Ya didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, she silently finished eating the food, then stood up and glanced at Char: "I saved your life at the beginning, and now I will give you another piece of advice to evacuate, the Odin several legions have gone south, there are no troops in the north of the empire, and your small lonely city can't stop it."
Taking advantage of the opportunity now, if you abandon the city and go south with your men, you may still have three points to live. ” Char wanted to say something, but suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the door in a hurry, Hawke rushed in quickly, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord, Lord Green, let me hurry up and report, the Odin people outside are attacking the city again, please go to the city immediately" Char raised his eyebrows, immediately stood up, and sneered: "Oh, only a few thousand people are left, and they are still restless."
He was about to go out, and Via was already whispering behind him: "I'll go with you, I repelled the Odin, and I just took the opportunity to leave." ” The Odin did attack the city.
Morka came to the city with 5,000 men who had been driven out of Wildfire Town, and received orders from his father Manninger before leaving, but Morka was filled with shame in his heart.
With his heart, this time he went on an expedition to the south with the army just to establish meritorious deeds, but he didn't expect that the first thing his father ordered him to do was to mess him up, not to mention the lack of food, and the five thousand male soldiers were actually driven out by a mob in Wildfire Town.

Although that mysterious master is really terrifying, Morka is unwilling in his heart after all.
After arriving at Denzel and joining up with the 1,000 cavalry left behind by Manninger, the only thing on Morka's mind was to make a difference in order to redeem the impression he had left on his father's mind.
He looked at the city of Denzel although the walls were tall, but after all, the city was very small, and listened to the people who stayed behind to introduce the siege of the city two days ago, obviously there were not many defenders in this city, and the strength was weak, but he had grasped the weakness of his own side due to the lack of food and the lack of time.
My father's tens of thousands of troops have not been able to capture the city, if he can capture it, wouldn't he be able to turn the situation around in one fell swoop, and then he won't have to be ridiculed for his incompetence behind his back.
I have to say that this Morka is not all incompetent and reckless, he has also come up with a little way.
With his strength of five or six thousand, the defenders in the city of less than 1,000 may not have no chance if they really attack with all their might.
Moreover, the Odin did not succeed in taking the city before because they ran out of food and did not have time.
And now Morka has a thousand cavalry, just killing reindeer to feed, it can support more than ten days, more than ten days, five thousand against hundreds, it is entirely possible to break through the city.
And Morka is not blindly reckless attacking the city, he thought about it for a long time, but he also came up with an idea.
Morka divided his men into a team of five thousand men and sent a team out to cut down trees in all directions, raise timber and build equipment.
The remaining four thousand-man teams took turns to come forward and make a feint.
He ordered the besieging team to attack the city for an hour, each with a thousand troops, without all their strength, as long as they made a loud noise to make the momentum of the siege, and tried their best to disturb the defenders of the city, so that the defenders of the city could not rest.
It's really effective.
He Morka had the advantage of his forces, and several thousand troops took turns to advance, and while the other teams attacked the city, the rest of the troops rested and recuperated.
But the defenders in Denzel City are too few after all, and it is not enough for all the less than a thousand people to go to the city, where is there room to rest in shifts In one afternoon, the Odin had attacked the city more than ten times, although each time they were shot back by the bows and arrows of the defenders of the city, but it was not easy to maintain the offensive, and at night, the defenders were nervous all day, after all, they were tired.
But Green and Char finally didn't dare to really let the defenders rest, their own forces were too weak, if they really slacked off and rested, the enemy only needed a fierce attack, maybe the city would really be broken.
Therefore, knowing that the enemy is a tired enemy's strategy, but no matter how strong Green is, he has no soldiers in his hands, and he can't think of any good way to deal with it.
At this time, Via, who went to the city with Char, also took into account the overall situation, and did not force Char to let her out of the city at this time.
Until the night fell again, the defenders didn't even have time to eat dinner, and Morka outside the city sent a thousand people to come up to disturb, the Odin people approached the city wall with their shields, and they were not really desperate, but the loud noise also made the defenders in the city dare not relax, and the crossbow arrows were shot out like money, and after a while, the Odin retreated, and another team came up, so that the defenders were tired to deal with.
Char was also anxious and annoyed on the city wall, if he had a new force in his hands now, not much, even if it was only three or five hundred, he would dare to take people out of the city to charge the battle.
But after all, the defenders in the city are too weak, in the battle of the Arbucket Plain, although he has a record of charging with two hundred miscellaneous cavalry, but don't forget, even if the two hundred cavalry are miscellaneous cards, they are also soldiers in the Rhodria Cavalry Regiment, even if they are not the main elite, they can be placed in other troops, they are all elite soldiers.
But now there is a group of rabble in the city, the real rabble may be able to have some courage to defend the city, and if you go out of the city to fight, you will face Odin's elite Red Snow Army humming, or shaking your head faster.
It took a night, and by dawn, the defenders were already staggering, these guys were not elite, they had been defending for almost three days, everyone was exhausted, and many people couldn't even stand on their feet.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, and the Odin people outside the city sent another team of people to cheer up, Char felt a chord in his heart and glanced at Green: "I'll take people out to fight for a while, there is no other choice" Although Green was unwilling, there was no better way at the moment, he pondered for a while, and said slowly: "How many people do you bring?"
Char thought for a moment: "Afrecate's original fifty mercenaries, as well as Hawke's thirty mercenaries, plus the original Russell's mercenaries, make up a hundred" A hundred people attacked the opponent's army formation of thousands of people, or Odin's elite, it was too few.
But at this moment, the only people in the city who can be regarded as "elite" are these former mercenaries, and the local defenders are really overwhelmed.
Green wanted to come for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You can try, but you have to understand, the danger of going out of the city to fight, going out of the city to face the battle, no matter what the battle situation is, will not open the city to respond, so you are the main general, or I will take people out to charge the battle."
Char immediately shook his head, looked at Green's face, and said slowly: "It's not that I don't believe in your martial arts, it's just a matter of defending the city, although I am the nominal general, but the military strategy is all dependent on you, out of the city to fight, in case of any accident I die, as long as you are here, you can continue to command the defense of the city, but if you have an accident to be honest, our army is limited, I'm afraid I can't hold it" Green is not a mother-in-law, and he did not hesitate at this moment, and immediately said categorically: "If you die, I will definitely defend until the last moment, and I would rather die than surrender."
Char laughed and glanced at Green, both of them were tough men, and they didn't need to say anything at the moment, after looking at each other, they were all silent.
Char immediately turned around to count the manpower, and in a short time, he gathered those mercenaries from the past, gathered enough hundred warriors, and did not hide it, so he simply said: "Go out of the city to fight, nine deaths, we try our best to fight If you are afraid of death, you can quit now, I don't blame you for going to war with me, as long as you come back with a life, each person will be rewarded with one hundred gold coins" Some of these mercenaries were originally Alfrecat's subordinates, and Char was kind to them.
And Hawke's subordinates, who have been to the wildfire field with him, have witnessed the majestic posture of Char and Sharpa charging thousands of horse thieves, and their hearts have already broken for him, and at this moment Char's words came out, no one flinched, they all raised their swords and shouted.
Seeing that the morale was high, Char immediately asked people to prepare to sling out of the city, and at the same time instructed the archers in the city to prepare to suppress the attack of the Odin.
Green's expression was a little complicated, and he didn't say much, just watched Char straighten out the staff.
The defenders on the city wall fired a volley of crossbows, which pushed back the pace of the Odin's attack, and Char was about to take the opportunity to go down to the city, when he suddenly heard Grimm's shout: "Stop and wait" Standing above the city, Grimm's expression changed suddenly, and he looked north I saw a faint fire on the northern horizon, and a thick column of smoke rose into the sky in the distance Beacon fire Not only did Green see it, but most of the people on the city wall saw it, and Char also looked surprised: "Is Yi coming for reinforcements?"
Under the beacon fire in the distance to the north, I saw a cluster of shadows of people and horses on the horizon of the road in the distance, although it was a little vague and ruthless in the distance, but the figures were more and more, faint, and I was afraid that there were thousands.
Green saw it in his eyes, and suddenly shouted: "The herald is fast."
There was originally a beacon tower on the city tower, which was necessary for the city defense of the frontier town, and Green gave an order, and he didn't wait for his subordinates to act, he grabbed a torch with his own hands and rushed to the beacon tower and threw the torch on it, and suddenly the fire lit up and the smoke rolled up Under the beacon fire in the distance, it seemed that the other party also saw the beacon smoke rising on the city wall, and suddenly the shadows of those people and horses in the distance surged On the main road, soon the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and I saw a group of cavalry raising dust behind them, and the number of people coming from afar was only more than two thousand, all of them were cavalry This team of cavalry turned out, the lineup was majestic, but the formation was rigorous in galloping, quite lawful, although there was no banner, and from a distance, it seemed that those service equipment were also miscellaneous, not like the regular army of the empire, but two thousand cavalry galloped forward, and naturally there was a mighty momentum The sudden arrival of the cavalry in the distance, the Odin people outside the city naturally also noticed, after a burst of military trumpets, the Odin people who were besieging the city quickly retreated, tightly defended the line, and waited for the battle.
The cavalry rushed to a place less than half a mile from the battlefield below the city before suddenly stopped, spread out in formation in the wilderness, and faintly stared at the Odin army outside the city.
At this moment, Green was still a little puzzled: "Strange, where did the cavalry come from, is it a trick of the Odin?"
But Char saw the original group of cavalry clearly on the city wall, but suddenly his face became weird, listening to Green's words, Char's face was complicated, and he smiled bitterly: "Don't doubt it, this is not an Odin, it is here to help us" "It's not Odin, but this team of cavalry looks strong and elite, but it's not our imperial team."
What else did Green have to say, but there was a Sharba on the city wall who also saw the original group of cavalry, and suddenly laughed: "Haha Lord Green, don't be confused, these people are indeed our reinforcements" In the distance of the wilderness, the original group of cavalry, led by a horseman, slowly ran out of a horse, a black majestic war horse, a man on the horse, burly and strong, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a sharp hammer in his hand Who is this man?
Naturally, it's our eldest lady Nenei, who is looking for a husband.
Nene rode out a few steps, raised the prism hammer in his hand, and nearly two thousand horse thieves shouted loudly, and the roar of two thousand people came from afar, and the momentum was quite amazing The Odin people outside the city were waiting for the battle, and I have to say that Morka, as the eldest son of Manninger, did have some ability, and when he saw the arrival of the enemy, he immediately ordered a queue, put the formation very tightly, and did not hurriedly send people to rush forward to kill He knew very well that he was mostly infantry, and there were originally a thousand reindeer cavalry left, but most of the mounts were slaughtered and filled.
If you rush to meet the battle, then once the lineup is chaotic and the enemy cavalry charges over, the consequences will be unimaginable.
When Nene rushed to the battlefield with the cavalry, seeing that the Odin people had already lined up and gathered together, they were strict and cautious, and they had no chance to take advantage of it, so they couldn't help but sigh a little in their hearts, but they just led the cavalry to shout and demonstrate for a while.

Since there are reinforcements outside, or 2,000 elite cavalry, Char naturally doesn't have to venture out of the city, and only sends people to raise banners on the city wall, echoing the people inside from a distance.
After Nene understood, he did not attack, but only led the cavalry to make a persecuting posture, bluffing, and persecuting the Odin little by little.
In a short time, the sound of trumpets was heard in the Odin army, and then the lineup began to change, and two or three hundred reindeer cavalry were divided, cruising on one side of the array, and then the infantry array began to turn around, and the rear team changed into the front team, and little by little they left the battlefield.
And two or three hundred reindeer cavalry fell behind in the last break.
Morka's command was very strict, and his subordinates were all elite warriors in the tribe, not chaotic at all, and carefully separated from the battlefield with the people, and after pulling out to a safe distance, he calmly took the team, and even the barracks and tents outside the city were not needed, so he slowly went south.
On the city wall, Green watched the Odin retreat, and the surrounding defenders were cheering, but he was the only one with a complicated expression and a frown.
"What's the matter, aren't you happy that the Odin people have been forced to retreat," Char smiled and patted Green.
Green looked at the back of the Odin in the distance, his eyes flickered, and he whispered: "Manninger, the commander of the Red Snow Army, is a famous general among Odin, shrewd and cunning.
And the current leader of the Odin people is not a mediocre person, the strategy of the previous tired enemy is cunning, and the retreat at this moment is also rigorous and moderate, and it does not give us the slightest chance to pursue.
Alas, among the Odin, there are so many heroes, although there are heroes and heroes in our Byzantine Empire, but now the country is erosive, and the blood of their own people is only afraid that they will be drained in the civil war.
