Chapter 260 Father and Son Who Died for the Country
Chapter 260 The father and son who sacrificed their lives for the country
Hearing what Marquis Weishan said, all the Almohad officials sighed, and then shook their heads helplessly.
As technocrats who rely on their ability to earn a living, they are extremely unfavorable to those officials who are greedy for money and bend the law.
And at the same time, they also have a clear understanding of the guys who have been suppressing them before, and know how crazy those people are.
Marquis Weishan paused for a moment, and then continued with a solemn expression: "In view of this, this operation requires at least five thousand soldiers, and it also requires the support of the mages of Maple Leaf Danlin."
General Wabador pondered for a moment and said: "Marquis Vichan, let's do this. We will have the Count of Lorraine leading a thousand Templars and a thousand other cavalry, plus a team of two hundred mages, and a team of two hundred
Pastor team, what do you think?"
The Almohad officials all showed surprised expressions. They did not expect that the Maple Army would be so helpful. This time it was quite a generous move~!
Marquis Weishan even narrowed his eyes with laughter.
He stood up, saluted General Wabado with a bang, and then said very emotionally: "Thank you General Wabado for your support~!"
General Wabador smiled and waved his hand and said: "My lord, there is no need to be polite. Just like the Count of Lorraine said, we can only catch old Despi and the man hiding in the dark to fan the wind and light will-o'-the-wisps."
Inciting and provoking conflicts between the college and your country, destroying our good situation of stability and unity, and launching a war that should not have happened, which could have been avoided and caused huge losses to the lives and property of the people of the two places.
That hateful warmonger..."
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, knowing the intentions of General Wabador, a warmonger who had caused huge losses to the lives and property of the people in both places - he was venting to everyone, intending to use an official speech to convey this.
In one war, all the shit was thrown at Old Despey's head.
After hearing his skillful political language, Lorraine couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
He looked at General Wabador and almost couldn't recognize the old guy. He thought to himself: This is the commander-in-chief of the Maple Leaf Danlin Army who always curses at his mother when he has nothing to do, drinks wine from a bottle, and urinates everywhere.
General Bador himself?
If he hadn't been sure that this world was different from his own, he might even have suspected that someone had gone to South Korea to have plastic surgery and then came here to pretend to be one.
Then, he saw General Wabador looking down at a piece of paper in his hand, and he understood instantly. It turned out that this old guy had a cheat sheet~!
Behind the general, his bodyguard Gerardor wiped the sweat from his forehead as if relieved. Obviously, the idea was given to him by this clever young man.
Gerardo felt Lorraine looking at him and couldn't help but raise his head and smile shyly.
Lorraine couldn't help but smile and nodded to him.
At this time, I heard General Wabador continue to say: "Only when we catch the culprit, we will have completed this mission, and we will be able to usher in true peace. Therefore, the people of Maple Leaf Danlin should naturally give their full support~
!”
When everyone heard him end his speech with an impassioned exclamation, they all stood up and applauded enthusiastically.
They are not fools. As long as they have this official declaration, no matter whether it was murder, arson, robbery, theft, theft...all kinds of bad things, they will all be blamed on the guy Old Despey who started the war and annihilated himself from the people.
On the head.
But now that I have cleaned up everything, I no longer have to worry about the military police pulling on the pigtails, hugging Meimei in the middle of the night, getting into the bed and talking about serious ideological work, and they will come over there and kick the door, asking you to drink boiled water.
.
Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, General Wabador couldn't help but stretch out his hands and press them twice with a smile. However, everyone was so happy that they still slapped them hard for a long time, and their hands turned red.
The applause was like a tide, and it lasted for five minutes before it stopped.
General Wabador looked at Marquis Weishan and said, "So, when does the Marquis plan to set off?"
"Of course the sooner the better." Marquis Weishan said immediately.
"Okay." General Wabdor nodded, then turned his head and looked at Lorraine and said: "Earl, I'll leave it all to you."
When the Almohad officials saw that they were going to discuss military secrets, they all voluntarily left and hid aside with great understanding.
After hearing the news, those low-level officers who had joined the Maple Army and felt that they had not made enough money, came running over one after another and kept poking their heads outside the headquarters, trying to find out the news.
They knew that this was an opportunity to grab it, and if they took advantage of the war and did not take advantage of it, it would really be the product of incest marriage.
Lorraine and the officers took out the battle map and discussed it in the room.
It is different from the writing methods of the Spring and Autumn Period where the historians wrote with a stroke of their pen that on a certain year, month and day, the Maple Army commanded tens of thousands of troops, stormed such and such, and killed thousands of enemies.
As a real commander, there are many things that you must consider, such as finalizing supplies, routes, weapon repairs, casualty treatment, etc., and other necessary procedures for a series of military operations.
On the contrary, when arriving at the battlefield, the commander's job is relatively simple. He only needs to direct his subordinates to fight in groups.
It's just that Lorraine didn't dare to be negligent in the face of these miscellaneous things, because if he wanted to win, he had to exchange for the usual bit by bit accumulation.
As it is said in "On War", 'War is first decided by the quartermaster, and only when it reaches the battlefield is it decided by the commander-in-chief.'
Forget it before. Now this great military book is signed by him.
If he is defeated here, Lord Lorraine will never be able to see anyone again. He will only dare to go out quietly if he imitates Batman and pulls the black stockings at the corners over his head.
Although those things are not troublesome, they are also extremely trivial.
After the discussion was completed, when everyone came out of the room, they found that it was already mid-afternoon.
When the officers saw them coming out, they swarmed up and started asking questions.
Lorraine dealt with them casually, tricked those guys into bothering Wabador, and then took the opportunity to run out.
He returned to his residence and had just sat down to say hello to everyone in Catherine. He had not had time to take a sip of hot water.
At this time, the guard came in with an invitation letter.
The Grand Duke saw the Almohad royal coat of arms stamped on it and was immediately shocked and asked: "Whose invitation is this? Is it for me?"
Immediately, he felt the angry gaze cast by Catherine next to him. The Archduke suddenly realized that he had lost his temper and rubbed his cheeks with some disapproval. Then he laughed dryly and sat down again.
The guard also had a strange look on his face and said: "Your Highness, this belongs to Count Lorraine. Yours is here."
After saying that, he handed the letter in his hand to Lorraine, then took out another letter from behind and handed it over.
Only then did the Grand Duke realize that he was really too anxious. Otherwise, the invitation letter would have been quietly handed to him, and Catherine would never have discovered it.
He took the letter into his hand, then looked at the guard and whispered: "Good boy, remind me to give you a salary increase~!"
Catherine looked at the Grand Duke's face and couldn't help but snorted coldly.
She thought for a moment that since the two letters were handed in at the same time, they were obviously talking about the same thing. If that was the case, it was obviously not a private matter.
Thinking of this, Catherine felt a little more comfortable. She ignored the Grand Duke at the moment, but turned to Lorraine and asked: "What's in the letter?"
Lorraine couldn't help but smile bitterly, unfolded it, and then said: "It's nothing, it's just that Her Majesty the Queen invited us to attend a private party she held tonight."
He paused and looked at Catherine's displeased expression. He couldn't help but hesitate and said, "How about I write a letter and reject her? Tell her that I won't be going tomorrow because I have something to do?"
Catherine turned back and looked at the Grand Duke, and found that he had a look of reluctance on his face. She suddenly got angry and stood up suddenly, saying: "Go, why don't you go? Maybe some people are hoping that we don't go~!"
"
The Grand Duke screamed feebly, and then weakly said: "Nicole, why are you..."
When I looked up and saw Catherine's eyes full of anger, I couldn't say a single word.
Catherine snorted angrily and said nothing. She turned around, picked up her long skirt, angrily stepped on her high-heeled leather shoes, and walked out.
Adele watched from the side and couldn't help but shrugged her shoulders, making a helpless gesture to everyone, and then followed closely behind Catherine, walking out quickly with her own light steps.
Lorena let out a long sigh, then stood up and dragged Vera out.
The Grand Duke saw that all the girls had gone out, and only Lorraine was left. He couldn't help but murmured in a low voice with some dissatisfaction: "Nicole, you really are, are you worth getting so angry over such a trivial matter? In fact, if
Seriously speaking, I am sacrificing my life for the country in disguise, breaking into the enemy's interior to inquire about the situation..."
Lorraine laughed loudly at this time and was walking towards the door. After hearing the Grand Duke's words with infinite regret, he accidentally hit the doorpost without paying attention.
He looked back at the Grand Duke. If he hadn't known that the old guy was a murderer, he might not have been able to do it to him. He would have spat on that shameless old guy a long time ago. He thought to himself: So I thought I was enough.
It's shameless. I didn't expect him to be even more shameless than me.
At the same time, he also discovered that Leo was actually so shameless, and that he was not responsible at all. Because it turned out that those things were not taught to him by him, but were inherited from his father.
From that day on, it was already there.
That night, everyone in Lorraine dressed up and came to the palace.
Except for Lorraine, everyone else had participated in several palace banquets. Therefore, they were familiar with the journey. Not to mention that His Highness the Grand Duke always ran here no matter what happened.
When they arrived at the banquet hall, Almohad Queen Isabel was already waiting for them.
The Grand Duke hurriedly took a few steps to greet her. He did not care at all about the murderous look in his daughter's eyes, and chatted with Her Majesty the Queen attentively.
However, he was very disappointed to find that Her Majesty the Queen also invited many guests, including Almohad officers and Maple Army generals. It was obvious that this was not a private gathering.
Catherine also saw this, but when she saw the old guy courting the coquettish queen, she was still furious. But she couldn't do it in front of everyone, so she grabbed Lorraine and secretly kissed him
He pinched his body hard to vent his anger.
Lorraine couldn't help grinning in pain, smiling bitterly in her heart, thinking to herself: What the hell is this~!
But at the same time, he discovered that Her Majesty the Queen didn't seem to be too cold towards the Grand Duke. Although the two of them were polite and chatting and laughing when they were together, they gave people a kind of vague feeling.
If there is a clear separation between them.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Catherine and others seemed to have discovered this situation, and her anger calmed down a lot.
She immediately walked forward with a smile on her face, and then chatted for a few words with the queen with a smile.
It's just that in their words, there is a secret hint. Only the women themselves can understand the tit-for-tat witticisms and puns between them.
Like, 'I didn't expect your skin to be so good now. If I reach your age, I will be old and ugly, and I won't dare to go out without makeup.' I secretly sarcastic that the other person is too old and old.
She's ugly, and it's all because of cosmetics that she dares to come out and see people.
Or "I've heard of Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess for a long time. If there weren't some villains who interfered with it, we might have become a family now." secretly stimulated Catherine.
Or, "Oh, I don't know if that incident will have any impact on Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. If you can't find a suitable match, it would be a huge sin. But having said that, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is so capable.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether she has a boyfriend or not.” and so on, secretly saying that Catherine couldn’t find a boyfriend, and even if she found one, he would be too strong and would scare others away.
Everyone in Lorraine saw the strong smell of gunpowder and all stayed away. It was up to these talented politicians to display their talents.
The Grand Duke looked at it, but he was very embarrassed. He laughed a few times in the middle, and then changed the topic.
It was rare for Leo to see someone who could compete with Catherine. He was extremely curious at the moment and watched the fierce battle with his big eyes.
When he saw the two people parting with smiles and smiles, he turned his head and asked Lorraine quietly: "Who won this battle between the two of them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt someone hit him hard on the head. He let out a low scream of pain, then waved his hand hurriedly and said: "Okay, I already know, you don't need to tell me anymore."
Catherine laughed angrily, plucked his ears hard, and shouted in a low voice: "Be honest with me, this is the Almohad Palace, if you dare to make a fool of me, be careful, I will charge you a hundred
Three hundred percent of the income tax~!"
Leo immediately exclaimed, then raised his hands in surrender and said, "Don't worry, I will be very good."
After saying that, he nodded heavily, indicating that he would definitely keep his promise.
Everyone chatted for a few more words, and then they were all welcomed into the banquet hall.
Lorraine came to the hall and was surprised to find that Hilmeria was already there, and next to her was the little girl she had seen before.
When the little girl saw Leo coming in, a joyful light flashed in her eyes, and then she waved to him repeatedly.
Leo snorted, then raised his head, pretending not to see the other person. He didn't know what the conflict was between them.
Adele looked at it, and a strange look flashed in her eyes. Then she pulled Leo aside and asked in a low voice: "Where is your little girlfriend? Why are you ignoring her?"
Leo immediately snorted and said angrily: "She lied to me. She said she had a sister who was a high-ranking official in the Maple Army. But she was from the Niodos family. I don't talk to liars~!
"
After saying that, he turned his head heavily again. However, he still glanced at the other party with some reluctance out of the corner of his eye.
Adele smiled slightly and said: "What's the matter? You can also lie to her. Don't forget, the Niodos family is also very important to the Ruman Empire. If you can win her over, wouldn't it be more difficult?
good?"
Leo hesitated immediately and said: "But..."
Adele stretched out her hand and patted him on the back, saying: "But what? You stupid boy, just think of it as sacrificing your life for the country, and take the opportunity to use a beauty trick to penetrate into the enemy's interior to find out the situation..."
The Grand Duke suddenly coughed loudly.
Adele looked at him very strangely and said, "Your Highness, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
The prince was so frightened that he quickly stood up, standing straight like a primary school student who had just put on a red scarf, and then replied: "No, nothing is wrong."
In the banquet hall, everyone sat down separately. After receiving Adele's advice, Leo also figured it out. He happily ran over and showed off his beauty trick towards the little girl.
Everyone was chatting while eating the palace banquet.
After everyone had finished eating, everyone stood up one after another, and then gathered in small circles to chat.
Lorraine saw that even Leo was being pulled by the little girl, and the two of them ran to nowhere.
He looked at Hilmeria on the left, and then at Catherine and everyone on the right. When he was hesitating about where to go, a petite palace maid came over and whispered: "My lord, please
Follow me. Her Majesty the Queen wants to see you."
Lorraine couldn't help but be startled, and had no choice but to follow her out of the hall, walked along a corridor for a short distance, and then turned a few more corners.
Finally, he found himself in a secret room.
And the beautiful Queen was already waiting for her in the room. There was also an ordinary-looking guard sitting next to her. In addition, there was also a priest and Gerardo, the bodyguard of General Wabador.
You are also sitting.
Lorraine took a look at the priest and felt vaguely familiar. He immediately remembered that he was a close associate of Obachm, the director of the clergy college. Lorraine suddenly felt a little strange in his heart: What happened, and he was still here?
Negotiate in secret?
As soon as the queen saw Lorraine, she came up to her and said, "Earl, can I trust you?"
Lorraine paused and said, "Your Majesty, this is of course."
The queen nodded, then pointed to the guard and said: "He is Victor, the trusted guard who has been with me since I came from my parents' home. I think this time I send troops, once His Majesty the Emperor and Old Des are captured,
After taking the skins, secretly hand them over to Victor for handling, and this is also the intention of your own people."
Lorraine was stunned, raised his head, looked at Gerardor inquiringly, and saw that he nodded to him.
Lorraine hesitated for a moment, then understood. It turned out that they were planning to make those two people disappear quietly. There was also political insider trading involved.
After all, killing an emperor and important ministers casually will cause an uproar no matter which country it is in.
He was hesitating. At this time, the priest stood up and said: "Earl, when we came, Lord Obachm made some explanations. He said that whether those two people were captured or escaped.
As long as he is alive, he is a hidden danger to us. But at the same time, killing an important minister and a king will definitely arouse the vigilance of other countries, right?"
Lorraine nodded immediately, and then said: "I understand. If we can catch them, we will hand them over to you quietly."
Early the next morning, Almohad's new army was brought out from Abdelwad City under the order of the Maple Army Command in the name of training.
Maple Leaf Danlin's team also set off under the leadership of Lorraine, mixed with the new Almohad army.
In order to deceive others, the rest of Almohad's new army was removed from the expedition and set up a strong presence outside the city for two days of training.
Although everyone else in Maple Leaf Danlin's occupying army regarded this operation as a long-distance journey, Lorraine did not dare to be careless about it.
Lorraine did not have any detailed information about this operation. Apart from the fact that Westinbit City stayed there and would not run away, Lorraine did not know the specific situation in the city.
Moreover, Lorraine did not trust his friendly forces. These guys were trained by his men, so Lorraine naturally knew their capabilities. Moreover, Lorraine even doubted their loyalty.
In line with the principle of being careful and making no mistakes, Lorraine carefully arranged the march, placing Maple Leaf Danlin's team behind Almohad's new army.
Lorraine and the others expected the march to take about ten days. At the beginning, the formation of the new Almohad army was maintained well, and they covered a full eighty miles on the first day.
But on the second day, the formation of the Almohads began to become chaotic, and some soldiers began to fall behind. Of course, Lorraine, who was supervising from behind, was not polite. He slapped those guys with a whip and beat them to death.
He chased him up again.
Fortunately, the quality of these Almohads was pretty good, and the two hundred priests in the team also helped a lot. They kept using spells to replenish their physical strength and boost their morale.
Soon, they had arrived at the outskirts of Westin Bute City, which was only two days away from Westin Bute City.
Lorraine believed that this was already a dangerous area, so he ordered the entire legion to be on higher alert, and dispersed the reconnaissance team composed of Almohad and Maple Leaf Danlin over a wide area.
Judging from the reports reported by the reconnaissance team, the area around Westin Bute City has not entered a state of war.
First of all, this is due to the very fast marching speed of this army.
Secondly, along the way, ordinary residents were not interested in this Almohad army.
Whenever civilians see this team, their first reaction is to run away quickly and close the door of their homes without even looking at them.
When they arrived here, anticipating the possibility of entering battle at any time, Lorraine ordered the troops to rest for a day and then march at night.
At this time, the general of the Almohad New Army came to see Lorraine with several people wearing civilian clothes.
General Almohad said to Lorraine: "Your Majesty, these people are all people who came from Westin Bute. They are the ones who reported to us. These people all know the situation in Westin Bute.
"
Several people were busy saluting Lorraine.
Lorraine waved her hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work. If this operation is successful, your queen and prime minister will reward you heavily."
One of the people stood up and said respectfully: "It doesn't matter whether you get an award or not. I just hope the adults can get rid of these guys as soon as possible. These people are really a fucking disaster."
Others chimed in and said, "Yes, we are almost dying from them."
Lorraine immediately became interested and said, "Oh? Tell me in detail."
The man said: "Your Excellency, you would not have thought that when the emperor and the bad guy Old Despey arrived in our Westin Butte city, the first thing they did was to rob other people's houses. Many families in our city were rushed to the streets.
on, and then the next day they
They asked everyone to donate money and collected it door to door. If they didn't give, they would beat people and steal their things. They were all trying to get money in different ways. We only have a few people in Westin, but they have caused a lot of harm to us in the past few days. We are now
All the locusts in the field are called Old Despey."
"Because we couldn't stand them and heard that Her Royal Highness the Queen had appointed a new Prime Minister in Abdelwad, we went to Abdelwad to ask the Prime Minister to arrest these bastards. We are already waiting here.
My lords, it’s been more than a month.”
Lorraine pondered for a moment, and then asked: "So, what is the situation in Westin Bute City now? Who commands the garrison in the city?"
"Back to your lord, the people in Westinbit City now hate Old Despey. But where is the emperor? Everything in the city is now controlled by them. Everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak out. Once your lord takes action,
Get up, the residents of Westin Butte will definitely welcome you.
There are still a little more than 3,000 people in the garrison in Westin Bute City. I used to be a member of the army stationed in Westin Bute City. Later, those people embezzled military pay, and also bought and sold officer positions wantonly, taking advantage of us.
Those who couldn't contribute the money were fired. If it weren't for the lack of foreign aid, the soldiers in the city would have started a riot long ago.
There is also a large group of Old Despi's lackeys in the city, all of whom came here following the emperor and him. These people are the most hateful, and they are very loyal to Old Despi."
Lorraine nodded, turned around and asked the general of the Almohad New Army: "General Hassell, do you think it would be better for us to negotiate with the garrison first, or to attack Westin Bute City?"
General Hassell thought for a moment, and then said: "Sir, I suggest that we attack at night and start fighting directly. These guys are die-hard members of Old Despi, and they should know that nothing good will happen to them.
We should act quickly and block them in the city so that none of them can escape."
Lorraine glanced at him with approval, then turned to the civilian and asked: "Does the city know that we have arrived?"
The man said: "I think they should know it, sir. You also know that Westin Bute City is a central city with many business travelers coming and going. Well, sir..."
Seeing that this man was hesitant to speak, Lorraine said: "Just say what you have to say."
"Sir, the generals and officers of the garrison are all from Old Despi. Once you contact them and know that the army led by you is strong, they will run away. We are willing to contact the garrison in the city for you and let them open the city gate."
The man said boldly.
"Oh." Lorraine and General Hassell looked at each other and saw the surprise on each other's faces.
Lorraine then said: "Are you sure?"
"Of course, sir, I used to be an officer there, and now I know all the people stationed at the city gate. As long as you promise a reward, they will take the initiative to open the city gate for you."
Lorraine looked at General Hasel, who nodded to Lorraine.
Lorraine smiled, and then said: "Okay, go back and tell your people that as long as you take the initiative to open the city gate, each of you will receive one hundred gold coins, and you will get two hundred gold coins each."
These people were extremely happy and shouted one after another: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir, we will definitely get things done for you."
Lorraine said: "Don't worry, I will give you half a day to find out the detailed addresses of those who follow Old Despey's group and the places they usually go to, and report back to us. Take ours with you when you enter the city.
If someone goes to catch them, I want none of them to escape. You understand, if you do this well, there will be rewards. First, give each of them a hundred gold coins."
Those people bowed deeply and said, "Yes, sir, thank you sir."
After these people went out, Lorraine thought for a moment and said to General Hassell: "General, how many of them do you trust very much?"
General Hassell said simply and decisively: "Of course not, we still have to be prepared for both."
Lorraine nodded and said with a smile: "It's as I thought, General, convey the order to the people, we will attack tomorrow night~!"
After General Hasel also left, Lorraine said to Noila Mo: "Tell the brothers to be more vigilant and be careful of all the Almohads. I don't want us to be caught off guard when an accident occurs."
Noila Mo understood immediately and said: “Yes, sir, I completely understand what you mean.”
The order to prepare for battle was quickly issued, and Lorraine's camp entered a state of commotion. Soldiers began to prepare weapons and set up guards. Scouts came and went, closely monitoring the entire area.
In order to cover up their whereabouts as much as possible, Lorraine ordered the soldiers on duty to detain all pedestrians passing by the camp and keep them in the camp for a day, and then release them after Lorraine and the others set off.
As a group of detained Almohad civilians were driven into the camp, Lorraine's ears became even more chaotic.
Lorraine completely distrusted these new Almohad troops.
Lorraine knew that half of the soldiers in this new army were veterans of the Almohad Army, and they had all kinds of bad habits.
The new army was founded just a few days ago, and the newly appointed officers have not yet established their prestige. The reason why those guys have been honest until now is because the Maple Leaf Danlin Occupation Army Military Police is watching them.
These Almohad people all know that in their hearts, Hilmeria, the commander of the gendarmerie and the daughter of God, as the cousin of Queen Almohad, also has some feelings for the Almohad Empire, so
They were treated with no mercy towards those who harmed the Almohad civilians, and the gendarmerie's dark room left an indelible mark on the memories of these people.
The people of Maple Leaf Danlin, especially the new Almohad Army, are currently serving Uncle Lorraine as their boss. These people all know that he is a very tough person who cannot be offended~!
This guy is a double bonus, a super thug, and a high-level gangster. Not only is he moody, but he is also ruthless. Countless Almohad heroes have fallen into his hands.
This is also one of the important reasons why, now that they have left the city of Abdwad, they are still staying there like good babies.
Another reason is that all those guys have shaved eyebrows and are easily identifiable, so no one dares to become a deserter.
The order given by Lorraine to the occupying forces of Maple Leaf Danlin was to monitor Almohad's new army together, not only because he was afraid that they would defect, but also because he was afraid that these guys would collapse after fighting.
Lorraine has seen too many Almohad armies collapse without fighting or even after a brief battle. In order to prevent these guys from becoming afraid of death and including the Maple Leaf Danlin people, Lorraine had to improve
Be alert and carefully arrange the march below.
After a half-day's rest, the coalition forces of the Maple Leaf Danlin Occupation Army and the Almohad New Army set off again, and everyone strode towards Westin Butte City.
After a night of rapid marching, the outpost scouts had arrived at the gates of Westin Butte.
After careful investigation, they reported to Lorraine: the four gates of Westin Bute were closed, the city was guarded by soldiers, and the magnificent flag of Emperor Almohad was planted on the city's head.
But all the residents outside the city have fled.
Soon, the Almohads who acted as agents for Lorraine came to Lorraine's camp again.
What appeared this time was not the original leader, but one of his subordinates.
Lorraine asked the man: "Is everything going well? Where is your leader?"
"Replying to your lord, our leader went into the city to contact the people in the garrison. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered, Westin Bute City was closed down. Now no one can enter or leave. But our leader has already contacted them.
The defenders in the city threw this letter from the top of the city wall."
The man said and presented a rolled paper tube to Lorraine with both hands.
Lorraine opened it and saw that it read: Everything is ready, south gate, five-corner fire.
Lorraine looked at General Hassell who handed the letter aside casually, and then asked: "Are you sure this letter was sent by your leader?"
"Yes, sir, it was our leader who threw it down from the city himself." The Almohad man replied.
Lorraine nodded, turned around and said to the people around him: "Guard, give this man fifty gold coins."
The Almohad man hurriedly bowed, bowed and saluted repeatedly, saying: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."
After the man and the guard went out, Lorraine said to General Hassell: "General, what are your plans for tonight's operation."
General Hassell said: "We can act according to this plan, but we cannot completely trust these people. My opinion is that we must be prepared with both hands. If we cannot open the city gate smoothly, we still have to attack by force, and we must be vigilant."
The defenders in the city go out to fight. I want to lead a thousand elites from the new army to seize the city gate tonight, and the earl will lead a large force to cover us."
Lorraine did not expect that General Hassell was quite active.
After pondering for a while, Lorraine nodded and said: "It's basically what I thought, but General Hassell, your men should attack the city gate. I need to personally lead Maple Leaf Danlin's team to suppress the defenders in the city and enter the city.
After sealing all the city gates to protect your emperor, the task of capturing old Despey must be directed by you, the general. We cannot care about one thing and lose the other."
General Hassell said: "Okay, Your Excellency, I will do as you say."
During the day, Lorraine ordered the troops to start resting and prepare to set off at night. After a sumptuous dinner at dusk, the entire army set off to attack Westin Bute City.
After marching until midnight, the coalition forces led by Lorraine finally arrived a few miles outside the city gate.
Looking at the lights coming from the direction of Westin Bute City, Lorraine ordered the team to stop. A commando team of 1,000 people composed of the Almohad New Army left the main force from here and quietly walked towards the south gate.
The large forces led by Lorraine and General Hassell will directly approach the east gate, create a momentum there, attract the attention of Westin Bute City, set up a false camp, and then attack the south gate.
Watching the thousand people disappear into the night, Lorraine sighed. For this kind of high-risk, high-tech work of opening up the city, the capabilities of these new Almohad troops are probably a bit insufficient, but Lorraine didn't.
There is no way, he won't risk the Knights Templar and the mages.
Lorraine thought to himself: Now he can only believe in their ability. At worst, he will attack by force. It will only take an extra day and make it more troublesome to catch the unlucky emperor.
