After the meal, after Earl Harlan properly handled the evening affairs of his troops, the two of them sat in the same camp and seriously discussed the subsequent plans.
Thinking of the fact that Dracelle had the attribute of being a talker, and that his endless nonsense was the ceiling of the chat world, the young dragon Ren quickly screamed at the thought of this.
"Ouch!"
[I don’t want to hear your talk! I’m going to rest with my mother, Safiya, Safiya!]
"Hey, go, go, my lovely Princess Safiya~ Please take this little brat to rest."
At this moment, Dracelle had no intention of paying attention to the young dragon Wren. His thoughts were entirely focused on Earl Harlan.
After one person and one dragon left, Russell was the first to speak: "There is no point in sending the battle report back now. When the battle report arrives, the best fighter will be gone."
"Well, yes, and the king may not receive the battle report when it is sent back. He may be on the way too. If we want to capture Duckburg, we have to take advantage of now! This is how fast soldiers are!"
"Earl Harlan, if you want to capture Duckburg and occupy this place, I can help you. The territory belongs to you, and I don't want an inch of it."
Hearing this, Earl Harlan smiled. He thought it was reasonable. He had already thought about this issue in advance, so he continued:
"Do you feel that even if you capture this place and the king rewards you with this castle, you still won't be able to hold it. Just managing Uxhall will be very difficult for you now."
"You are right. I may lose both places in the end. So I decided to help you capture it! In this case, from now on, Duckburg will be to the east of me, and your base, Earl Harlan's Castle, will be to my west.
Now, it will be very convenient for me to support you, and you can take care of both ends."
"Okay, then after we defeat him, the spoils and prisoners will be yours! Russell, I can't let your efforts go in vain!" Earl Harlan patted him on the shoulder and said.
"No, this is all yours. Next time I have difficulties, I believe you will help me."
In fact, Russell is not a good guy, he also has his own little plans in mind.
Nowadays, Uxhall's geographical location cannot be said to be very good. It is too close to the enemy Kugit Khanate and can easily become a target.
Although your teammates in the kingdom will help you protect your territory, frequent battles and frequent town repairs will also have an impact on economic development.
If the Kingdom of Swadia can capture Duckburg and Shiko Village, it will be equivalent to forming the most forward line of defense for Drasel.
In this way, the enemy's revenge can also be directed to the new masters of Duckburg and Xiko Village.
However, the experienced and steady Earl Harlan had already thought of this and saw through Russell's little thoughts.
But he is strong. He has accumulated more than 300 soldiers in his base, Count Harlan's Castle, and they are almost overcrowded and exploding.
This directly resulted in the money he earned not being enough to support the army during the peace phase.
If Lower Duckburg and Xiko Village can be annexed, on the one hand it will alleviate the problem of crowded troop garrisoning, and on the other hand it will bring in more collections.
The more important thing is this world, this continent of Calradia.
The scope of the territory, the strength of the army, and the accumulation of wealth represent everything about a man.
The army and wealth can only be obtained continuously through the territory, which is enough to show the importance of the territory.
"Very good, thank you then, Russell. We will tidy up tomorrow and launch a surprise attack on Duckburg tomorrow night, what do you think?"
"Everything is up to you. I will cooperate with you, Earl Harlan." Both of them have their own agendas, but they can satisfy their own interests at the same time.
Therefore, under these coincidences, there is an arrangement somewhere, and the two of them will cooperate closely.
"But there is one more thing. I have to say, Dracelle, you are really lucky! You can actually have the help of a dragon and such a beautiful goddess archer."
"Hahahahaha, there is a long story about this matter, let me tell you..."
At this time, the system is online.
[Stop chatting, you talk too much! It’s very late, go to bed first, otherwise I’m going to malfunction. I’m tired from working all day.]
De La Serre was quite helpless and responded: "Okay, okay, sleep, sleep, sleep, just sleep..."
"Well, Earl Harlan, this story is very long. Let's talk about it next time. I have something else to do."
"No problem. I wish you a good dream tonight, Russell. I'm going to rest too." Earl Harlan patted his shoulder and turned to leave.
The night passed peacefully, and late at night the next day, the two prepared to launch a surprise attack on Duckburg.
At this time, there were still more than 100 enemy troops in Duckburg, but the successive defeats caused the enemy's morale to be low.
As for Earl Harlan's troops, there are still 120 men left. What's even more terrifying is that he also owns three catapults and a battering ram.
Earl Harlan knew very well that the baron's troops were all crooked mercenaries, and there was not a single local Svadia Iron Knight who was good at fighting.
The only ones who can be useful are the baron himself and the little girl who is good at using bow and arrow.
So when they are added together, the total is 122 people...
Thinking he was sure of victory, just when Earl Harlan was preparing to launch the battering ram and catapult, something surprising happened!
Suddenly, terrifying wolf howls were heard in Duckburg. Along with the wolf howls, the torches on the city wall were gradually lit...
Then there was a special sound of gongs and drums. Drasel saw a group of soldiers riding prairie jackals on the city wall!
At this time, a veteran such as Earl Harlan also showed a frightened expression, and he hurriedly shouted:
"Push back the siege equipment and everyone retreat! Drasser, go quickly!"
Before Russell could come to his senses, he was grabbed by his teammate Earl Harlan and evacuated together.
It wasn't until the group retreated to a distance of thirty miles outside Duckburg, where the howling of wolves could no longer be heard, that Earl Harlan gradually calmed down.
At this moment, Russell only felt confused, and he asked: "What happened?"
Earl Harlan wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke slowly:
"Yes... she is the Steppe Valkyrie. She is the daughter of Saiga Khan, the king of the Kugit Khanate."
"So what, even if she can tame prairie jackals, we don't need to be so afraid of her. Prairie jackals are not powerful. I have killed quite a few with my own hands."
Earl Harlan looked helpless and shook his head:
"You think I haven't killed a prairie jackal!? You haven't fought with her, you don't know. She is called the prairie Valkyrie, and even the prairie jackal king bows to her."
