The blow of all this to Akade was too great. The commander was immersed in his world for a long time and could not extricate himself. No matter how others warned him, it had no effect.
There was no other way, Allaire told the good soldiers to pay attention to the safety of the commander, and then walked out of the mine, looking at the dazzling sun, he couldn't help but lament, there was still a lot of work to be done.
The first thing is to block the news. No matter how long we can hide the fact that the mine is flooded, we must keep it hidden. The longer we hide it, the longer we will be away from the thunderstorm.
Alaire knew very well that if everything was known to everyone, many people would not be able to accept it. These people would definitely leave the army alone and return to Bulgar independently without saying a word.
And if the first such person appears, then the second and third will appear very quickly. The escapees will spread like a plague in the army, and even if there are no escapes, morale and discipline will definitely increase.
It has fallen to the extreme, its combat effectiveness has also been greatly reduced, and the disintegration of the army is just around the corner.
And if the army disintegrates, it will be easy for the Moscow princes’ army, whose whereabouts are still unknown, to defeat them...
He killed those Russian prisoners in order to prevent the news from leaking out as soon as possible. For this reason, he even executed some Bulgar soldiers who were not close associates. However, this could only be delayed for a while. As time went by, the news still had to be revealed.
Allaire didn't know how to deal with such a situation. He could only delay and conceal it as long as possible and let the news break out as late as possible.
The defeat, the raid, and the mines that are now flooded, the main force of the Russians are missing... If this is the case, then all of this may be the plan of the young man in Moscow.
Allaire thought of that young and heroic face and the unhappiness he had foreseen, and at this moment he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This is truly a hero born from a young age.
The future really belongs to young people. With Rostislav here, the political situation in the north will definitely change dramatically in the future... Well? What is that?
Just when Allaire was thinking about the future, he saw an eagle. He recognized that eagle. It was the falcon he had fostered in the stronghold that housed Ross prisoners and his own wounded.
How did it come? What happened?
And just when Alaire was looking at his falcon, the raptor also saw him and pounced directly on its owner. Alaire subconsciously raised his arm with scale armor and took the bird.
Falcon.
While summoning his falconer, Alaire was thinking about why his falcon came. Could it be what happened in the stronghold?
————————
Let us turn the time back two hours ago. At that time, under the cover of vegetation near the walled city occupied by the Bulgars, a group of armed men appeared there and observed the walled city.
"Oh God, what did these people do to my city!"
Valin, the former owner of the walled city and now the leader of this team, looked at the activities of the Bulgars and subconsciously spoke out, his tone full of dissatisfaction. After all, when a group of intruders make your home a mess,
Who would be happy?
The Bulgars have demolished the wooden walls of the walled city and then built a larger wooden wall. As for the farmland flowers and gardening decorations inside the walled city, they have all been trampled down by the enemies, and tents are occupying the top in disorder.
A large number of prisoners were driven into the open space and tied to the wooden stakes. They had to eat, drink, and defecate on the spot, making the area stinky and dirty.
There were still many wounded Bulgars crowded into tents. Although the Bulgars' medical skills were more advanced than those of the Russians, the lack of doctors meant the lack of doctors, and the dead were still carried out from time to time.
And I can only hide in the woods with my wife and newborn child. Bastard, God, please take away these pagans. Please help me, a useless person.
Then he couldn't help but resent himself. If he hadn't been too weak, he would have run away as soon as the Bulgar army arrived...
"Lord Valin, you don't have to be too angry, because we are here to solve this problem."
Just as Valin was complaining, a strong big hand was placed on his shoulder. The arm was very strong, and one could tell that its owner often engaged in heavy work.
"Vanigo, thank you very much."
The leader of the city turned back to look at the Melian blacksmith, and his gratitude immediately surged up. It was pure luck that he met this blacksmith, and what was even better was that this blacksmith was willing to help him take back the city.
At that time, Varin was walking in the forest with hundreds of farmers. These farmers were basically robbed and even massacred by the Bulgars, so they were willing to follow Varin like this.
The reason for their wandering was very simple: they were looking for possible Bulgar lone soldiers. They really couldn't fight against the enemy's main force, so they could only attack the lone Bulgar soldiers.
This kind of life was very hard, because although sometimes he could get some trophies, the Bulgar suppression troops soon came out and chased him wildly. It was really hard to live that kind of life.
But he could only do this. Those Bulgars occupied his city, robbed his farmers, and violated his direct interests. This made him unable to stay in the field and be an ostrich. He could only fight out to organize resistance and
Looking forward to the day when the prince's army arrives.
It's just that the prince's army did not come, but the Merians did. These people came from the prosperous city of Rostov, there were as many as two hundred people, and their leader was Vanigo.
The reason why Vanigo and his group left Rostov is very simple. They want to repay kindness. The prince has given them such a great kindness. If they don't repay the prince, it would be too callous.
If the people in the new city don't want to send people, that's the new city's business. The old city won't care so much!
So the old city of Rostov organized a force after holding a meeting in Vitch. This force was made up of experts from the old city and even the suburbs, ranging from hunters to veterans.
In order to arm everyone as much as possible, Vanigo took out all the goods in his blacksmith shop so that everyone would have at least one reliable weapon or armor.
Then this team ran into Walin's tribe who was looking for enemies in the forest. Together, the two sides decided to attack Walin's walled city and help him regain this place.
There is a reason why Vanigo decided to take action against this walled city so quickly.
First of all, this walled city held thousands of Russian prisoners, and these people could be directly transformed into combat effectiveness.
Secondly, although there are a lot of Bulgars here, most of them are wounded, and even half of them are seriously wounded.
If you don’t pinch such a soft persimmon, then why should you pinch it?
