Sarah was very uneasy because after she informed Leon of Ralph's request, Leon just nodded calmly and said to the ranger: "Okay! I will always stay here."

Afterwards, Li Ang pulled the reverent ranger aside and whispered something.

After the ranger made a military salute and left, Li Ang already had an extra bow on his body. It looked like a very good bow.

It seems that Li Ang is really going to stay here...

Otherwise, the ranger would never give his bow to Li Ang.

"Sir, do we really have to hold on to the Tongtian River here..."

Sarah didn't want Leon to die here. This was the most different noble she had ever encountered.

"Sarah, since this is a transaction initiated by me, of course I have to stay here until the transaction is completed..."

Li Ang no longer has the greed of the philistine in his eyes, but looks more like a simple soldier, but he still talks about the principles of doing business.

Sarah was even more confused. She was too scared to walk into the forest when she met the Jatu Centurion a few days ago... How come this guy has become a hero now?

Do you even dare to challenge the Jatu army?

It doesn’t look like it. Two days ago, I was still scamming and abducting...

Stimulated?

"Sarah, this battle may be dangerous... Do you want to leave for safety?"

Li Ang's voice became gentle and low.

"No, sir, no need..."

Sarah refused without hesitation, but a strange feeling arose in her heart. She heard a different concern and worry from Li Ang's words than before.

"So...Sarah...we can be considered friends, right?"

Li Ang's expression became more and more serious, and his heroic profile was staring into the distance, as if he was hesitating, but also seemed to be making up his mind.

Sarah's heart beat twice, almost arrhythmia: "Of course, sir..."

"Then, can you..."

Li Ang's eyes turned to Sarah's tight face, his eyes full of sincerity.

"Um?"

Sarah was sure that her heart was arrhythmic. Even that winter, when she killed more than a dozen men alone that night, she had never been so nervous.

She didn't even notice that the fighting in the camp had stopped. A group of men stuck their heads out from behind the wall and lined up, holding their breath and secretly eavesdropping.

"Can you lend me some money...I'm penniless now..."

Li Ang opened his empty pockets.

The sound of a long sword being unsheathed sounded.

"Sarah...ah, ah, don't do it..."

"roll!!"

On the observation deck, Summer, who had been watching the live version of the silent film from a distance, sighed and shook his head: "I knew...how could I be so impatient to doubt a lady..."

But Li Ang, who was running around with his head in his arms, was looking at the skill panel with a smile on his face.

——Your ‘Domination’ skill level has been improved.

…

In the refreshing afternoon, the sky is clear and cloudless, and the blue sky and grassland describe the vitality and beauty.

But there was a smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.

A huge warning smoke rose over Fort Braveshield.

Even though we were dozens of miles away, we could clearly see the black smoke column rolling straight into the sky.

The entire village of Fletcher next door has been evacuated southward. The villagers have lived on the border for a long time, so they naturally know what to do when they see smoke.

The wooden bridge has been renovated and looks complete.

Li Ang took a few people from Mettenheim up to try it out. The wooden boards on the bridge deck seemed a bit thin, but they should be barely usable.

It's just that the wooden piles and piers under the bridge that were originally connected with supporting timbers seem to be all separated now.

Dozens of wooden piles have become independent pillars, and the structure looks much simpler.

One end of the bridge is, of course, on the other side of the river.

And the other end is in the camp.

Therefore, this camp is an authentic bridgehead.

On the side of the camp facing the bridge, a wooden wall has been erected. It was haphazardly pieced together with wooden piles and planks removed from the original bridge piles. It looked quite crude.

The wall is not high, only more than two meters.

Even if you include the wooden shield nailed diagonally to the wall, it's only about three meters.

But the wall is thick enough for two people to walk side by side.

Rather than a wall, it was more like a fort. This fort completely blocked the exit of the bridge, but from a distance it looked like part of the bridge deck, as if the bridge deck extended to both sides of the camp.

After all, the bridge deck and walls are all unpainted raw boards, so from a distance they don’t look much different.

But the fortress blocked the bridge. Even if Li Ang and others wanted to leave the bridge, they had to be pulled up by people on the wall.

Seeing this visual effect, the soldiers present gained some confidence.

Perhaps they could indeed hold the bridgehead until Ralph's reinforcements arrived.

Later, Li Ang summoned all his men and began to assign tasks.

Including the carpenters, everyone has their own tasks, except Anson, who is bruised and bruised, and Sarah, who is restless.

After finishing the arrangement, looking at his men working separately, Li Ang felt that he seemed to have overlooked something.

"Sir, what should we do with those prisoners?"

Anson asked.

By the way, those prisoners!

He looked at the two people beside him, one was a kind-hearted weakling, and the other was a woman with an unkind expression.

Forget it, just do it yourself.

"...It's too late to move them now. I have to make sure they are completely incapacitated to prevent them from causing any accidents!"

Li Ang took out the mace from his waist and planned to do the work himself.

Ansen opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. The northeast was filled with smoke and a powerful enemy was approaching. No matter how soft-hearted he was, he knew how to proceed.

But Sarah grabbed the hammer and stared at Li Ang with a cold light in her eyes.

He also weighed the hammer in his hand...

"Sarah, I was just joking last night... Everyone was tricked into being penniless the day before yesterday, and today they are about to face a strong enemy. Maybe there will be resentment - I have to show that I am so poor that I am borrowing money from everywhere. They

Only when you have a balance in your heart. This is for the sake of military morale...Don't mind...give me the hammer."

Li Ang explained with an apologetic smile that he had just figured out the reason for upgrading his command skills.

"Well, it's a joke, I don't mind...but you are the lord, you shouldn't do such dirty things with your own hands..."

Sarah's stern eyes did not change at all. She gritted her molars and uttered a few words, then picked up the hammer and entered the barracks where the prisoners were held.

Then, bursts of shrill screams rang out in the barracks.

"You're kidding! I'm telling you to be kidding!...Friend! Humph...don't run! Put your legs out! I'm telling you to be kidding!..."

Sarah's voice was also mixed in with the screams, which seemed particularly harmonious.

Li Ang and Ansen looked at each other.

Anson murmured: "Terrible woman... Sir, didn't you study the book I gave you carefully?"

"Shut up! Anson...wait, is it shaking?"

Li Ang's feeling was correct, the bridge deck had indeed begun to shake.

After a few seconds, the trembling sound can be clearly felt even on the ground.

From light to heavy, from far to near.

Sammer on the lookout shouted loudly: "Enemy attack! North!"

The Jatu people are coming!

It was a cavalry force of about three hundred men, divided into three centuries.

Horse hooves rumbled over and stopped suddenly on the north bank of Tongtian River.

The collision of the quiver with the horse's body, the sharp sound of the saber being unsheathed, and the neighing of the horse are all intertwined together.

A chilling feeling came over me.

The Jatu cavalry on the opposite side began to send people to patrol along the river bank, and several cavalrymen holding spears quickly went back and forth along the river.

The large army gathered across the river, at the other end of the bridge.
Chapter completed!
