"Anyway, we've already lost, what's next?"
Count Yum asked.What to do?
Duke Eddie is also very distressed, the task assigned by White is obviously not completed, and he doesn't know what kind of punishment awaits him.Damn it!
If you can catch the Marquis of Eisen, you will definitely skin him alive!
At the moment, no matter how angry he was, it was futile, and Duke Eddie had no choice but to force himself to calm down.After pondering for a moment, he looked up at everyone."
We're going to get back to the fortress as soon as possible, where our home ground is and where the walls are tall to protect us.If they dared to come, they responded with magic, bows and arrows, and trebuchets. ”The first two long-range attack methods are no problem, but the trebuchet is a long-range weapon used to deal with undead monsters in the Eastrise Fortress, and it has been idle for a long time, and I don't know if it can still be used."
At the same time, the river is blocked, so that the border towns cannot obtain the goods they need through trade, and consume them with them.It won't take too long for them to be the first to collapse. ”"And what about the task given to us by the new king?"
Count Yum said with a frown."
The new king will soon have an enthronement ceremony, and I will personally go to the royal capital and explain to the king."
As for how to explain it?
Duke Eddie is the best at this, and he said that Marquis Eisen secretly developed powerful new weapons, and he was afraid of rebellion.Although Frontier Town has a hard need to fight against undead monsters, if you want to add to the crime, why bother?
Coupled with the rumors that Owen Eisen has royal blood, and refuses to go to the royal capital this time, White will definitely become more and more suspicious of him.It would be even better if he could use this to get reinforcements from the royal capital.It is true that Duke Eddie was indeed defeated this time, but after returning home, he was still actively suppressing the border towns, without merit, and with hard work.As long as he assures White that he will hand in new weapons as soon as he defeats Frontier Town, he believes that there is still a chance to make up for his previous mistakes.Listening to Duke Eddie's words, everyone nodded, and so far, it can only be like this."
Let's all go back to sleep, we will set off early tomorrow morning, and the knights with horses will move with me, and those without horses will lead the mercenaries behind."
After speaking, Duke Eddie raised his fat hand and waved, signaling everyone to dismiss.When everyone had left the tent, he looked ahead alone, his expression gradually becoming gloomy.Marquis Eisen should launch a pursuit early tomorrow morning, and the mercenaries who followed behind would at least have a certain delaying effect, even if they were wasted.According to the Earl of Pearl, the big iron pipe was more reassuring.And the short stick in the opponent's hand has a significantly lower range than the big iron pipe, otherwise it would not have attacked until the knight rushed to him.In other words, it should not be a problem to urge the groom to drive the carriage faster and escape back to the Dongsheng Fortress.It doesn't matter if he bumps his ass, as long as he can save his life and go back, Duke Eddie can endure anything.…… Early the next morning, an agile lizardman who had been sent to search for the location of the remnants returned.With their excellent sense of smell, they were able to spot each other earlier than the enemy, and they had the advantage of being able to move in the trees, silently following behind the remnants of the army.And the lizardman who led this search team was none other than Shilon.The border town was about to fight the Dongsheng Fortress, so he was transferred by Lusha to support.I didn't expect to be able to come back and play for Frontier Town so soon, he was very excited and showed great effort.After listening to the report, the People's Army then prepared to carry out the encirclement and annihilation operation according to the plan.The musketeers were quickly divided into two groups.One group is a musket team with old muskets, operating alongside the lizardmen, led by Rusha.They immediately set out from the border town, caught up and followed closely behind the remnants.With the lizardmen's keen sense of smell, Rusha's team skillfully kept a safe distance from the knights on reconnaissance missions, and remained undetected by the enemy.Along the way, they also encountered and captured many scattered mercenaries and peasants.Now unable to deal with the surrendered enemy, Rusha had to touch their armament, tie his hands, and leave them to the soldiers at the back of the group to keep a tight watch, and continue to follow the remnants.The other group was a musket team with new muskets, led by Viscount Jarvis.Instead of chasing the remnants, the team was to take a cement steamboat.They would be transported in batches to the south of the remnants of the army, where they would be flanked by Rusha's troops.Even Owen didn't expect that after the cement ship was built, the first task was not to go to a certain place to transport raw materials back, but to participate in the transportation task of the encirclement and annihilation operation.Fortunately, after some days of sailing practice, Kembert was already very proficient in cement ships, and the sailors were able to quickly cooperate with his command.The location to be transported was determined by detailed deduction on the map, and Kembert also stepped on the point, absolutely no problem.The sniper team will also take a cement boat to the south of the remnants.Upon arrival, let them find a suitable sniper position on their own, hide, and wait for the action to begin.Oh yes, and the artillery team.Because the artillery was too heavy to carry the pursuit, the artillerymen could only transport the artillery to the dock in the border town, where they were on standby.It was not until Viscount Jarvis's team had finished transporting it before it was the turn of the artillery team to board the cement boats.Owen would also be on the last cement boat with the artillery, along with Marpel, Teresa, Fanny, and Yuchina.Marpel has a duty to protect Owen, needless to say.Teresa was mainly worried about Owen's safety before she asked to follow, but the reason she gave was not so straightforward, but said that she would use healing techniques, which would definitely come in handy.Originally, the Church did not interfere in secular warfare, but given the partnership between Frontier and the Holy Church of Caleb, Bishop Flynn had to turn a blind eye to Teresa's actions.Fanny wants to take this opportunity to return to the Rising Fortress to deal with some things, and she has become more and more proficient in using magic recently, and she can also play a role.As for Fanny's sister Lilika, she was sent to the castle to be temporarily cared for by Ryan.Yuchina was brought in by Owen and needed to use her abilities to deal with something.For this reason, Owen has asked for several days off from school for Yuchina.Oh, and the crazy Victor, who is also a nobleman, just give him some of the treatment that a nobleman deserves.The sun was setting in the west, and it was the end of the afternoon.On the Weishui River, a cement boat is sailing steadily in the direction of the current.Suddenly, Kembert noticed a lizardman holding and waving a red flag on the shore not far in front of him, and he knew that the destination was ahead."
Prepare to moor, hurry."
Kembert then ordered the sailors."
Understood, Captain."
The sailors soon went into action and got busy as they had been taught.Owen and Marpel were the first to disembark from the ship, while the artillerymen went to unload the guns and shells."
Your Lord."
The lizardman who came to greet Owen was Shilon."
How's it going?"
Owen asked."
It's going well, the enemy hasn't spotted us, they've found a place to set up camp, and they're cooking dinner.""
Good."
Owen nodded in satisfaction, "After the artillery is transported, the encirclement operation will be launched immediately." ”Dinner time is when the enemy is at their most relaxed, and Owen intends to take them all out quickly.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
