Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 42 The Eve of the Battle
At this time, more than ten kilometers away from Calla Lily Flower Castle, the knights of Iris Flower had already rested, and the whole camp was very quiet, and the horses were exhausted, not even neighing.

Knight Commander Les was very worried. He raised his head and looked towards the east—the place where the Calla Lily Flower Castle was located, as if he could reach there immediately.

Arden stepped forward, sat next to Rice, and comforted him, "Don't worry, we will be able to arrive at Alocasia Flower Castle tomorrow."

"Oh, I only traveled more than 20 miles today, otherwise I would be able to reach Calla Flower Castle today." Wang Shan ran to death, and Les was quite anxious. During the day, he could use reason to suppress his emotions, but in this quiet place In the middle of the night, emotions can't help rushing to my heart.

"Didn't you give this order? The battle is about to start, and you have to raise your horsepower. Today, the pack horses will move forward slowly, and the war horses will recharge their energy. After breakfast tomorrow, they will march quickly. By noon, they should be able to reach the calla lilies." castle."

"That's right, this war horse may look very fierce when charging, but its stamina is really bad. If you don't rest for two days, how will you fight at that time?"

Ndom smiled, did not speak, and looked into the distance with Rice.

After a while, Les couldn't help but said, "I don't know what's going on at the Calla Lily Flower Castle."

Ndom is here to comfort Rice. It is a big taboo to be emotionally unstable on the battlefield. Although Rice is also a veteran who has fought for many years, he can never be too cautious about war. So easily hacked."

Just as Les was about to open his mouth, Ndom seemed to have understood his thoughts, and said, "I have been to Calla Lily Castle, which is different from Tulip Town. Although Tulip Town has a tall city wall, there is no danger to defend after breaking through the city wall. The calla lily flower castle is a standard war fort, although it is simple, it is also divided into two parts, the inner fort and the outer fort, even if the enemy breaks through the outer fort, the inner fort is stronger, and it will not be able to take it for a while."

"Besides, we set off immediately after receiving the order. Counting the delay of the courier, it was less than a month. Even if Baron Batty faced twice as many enemy troops and relied on the castle, he would not be defeated just like that."

"It's because I'm too worried. I think I've been fighting for half my life. It really shouldn't happen that this kind of problem still occurs." Les slowly got up, and the depression just now was swept away, and the decisiveness of years of fighting was gone again. floating on the face.

"What are you doing?"

"Go to sleep. Tomorrow may be a tough battle. There's no use worrying about it here. It's better to gather enough energy and fight the enemy fiercely tomorrow. If we lose, it will be the first big defeat since the young master succeeded."

Rice continued: "Every time the young master faces an enemy stronger than him, but he can win every time. Now we are on par with the enemy. Counting Baron Batty, we have more people than them. If we lose I don't have the face to go back to see the young master."

"This is the Knight Commander Les I know. It was really funny to cry just now. If you have a child in the future, I will definitely tell him about this scene." Ndom also got up slowly, he The two grew up together since they were young, so they are naturally very close.

"Go away." Les scolded with a smile.

……

On the castle field of Calla Lily Flower, between the inner castle and the outer castle, there is a large open space. Baron Batty built a bakery, a barn, an armory, a barracks and a reception hall on this land.

After Baron Harmon and Baron Vasha attacked the outer castle, they occupied the castle grounds, the barracks were responsible for housing the knights, and the serfs set up a shed and stationed around the gate of the castle main building (inner castle).A lot of food was also seized.

Lord Harmon and Lord Vasha are talking in the hall
Baron Harmon was wearing a fat military uniform, but the military uniform looked surprisingly slim on him, with a fleshy face, looking very simple and honest, he said: "Baron Vasha, what should we do next."

Baron Vasha's features are very strong, with a sharp hooked nose, blue eyes, and wearing a slim suit, it seems that he is not out to fight.There was shrewdness and greed in his eyes. "Don't worry, we've already captured the fortress. Now Baron Batty is besieging the main building of the castle. There is not much food in it. As long as they surround it for a few more days, they will be defeated by themselves."

"This Baron Batty can't be like before, leading the Knights to fight with us wantonly for a while, knowing that he is hiding in the castle, it's really embarrassing."

It turns out that Baron Harmon's fief borders Baron Batty's fief, and the two belong to different earls. Therefore, they have been fighting for years, and they have to make an appointment every year. It is to make an appointment in advance, and then do a big fight. To be honest, There are not many such honest people nowadays, Baron Vasha said, this is his paradise.

Baron Vasha secretly mocked in his heart, he is really a fool with well-developed limbs, if it is not for the sake of his ability to fight, he would not bother to fight with him.

"Harmon, you sent a team of knights to patrol around the castle."

Harmon looked puzzled, as if to say that we have already besieged Barty Barty here, why are we sending knights to patrol outside the castle.

Vasha explained helplessly: "There must be a secret escape route in this castle. You send a team of knights to patrol around to prevent the members of the Calla Lily family from escaping."

"But where is the tunnel? Isn't it enough to send a team of knights in such a big place?"

Vasha was really speechless. He said, "Where is the exit of the secret road in your castle. You can send someone to search there."

"Only send a team of knights. There are still many people in the main building of the castle. If there are fewer people, they may break out."

Harmon called the knight commander carelessly, told the knight commander the exit of his secret passage, and asked the knight commander to search there. Although the knight commander is a lord knight, his loyalty must be guaranteed, but he is still by the side. Isn't it a bit stupid to do it? Harmon believes in him too much, he doesn't dare to believe in himself.

Vasha couldn't help thinking that it would be great if Baron Harmon's fief was not owned by Tulip, then there would be hope for the territory to expand eastward, and now it belongs to the Earl of Violet. Even if he killed Baron Harmon, Baron Harmon's fief It's a pity that it didn't reach him.

He turned his eyes and said, "Baron Harmon, I have a plan that might lure Baron Batty out."

"Okay, okay, tell me quickly, I'm worried that Baron Barty is huddled in the castle and won't come out." Baron Harmon patted his stomach, and continued: "Maybe Earl Katz has already broken through Tulip Town, Khamis They also defeated the Iris Family, and now only the two of us are still trapped here."

"Withdraw the army."

"What's the meaning."

"I led the knights to withdraw from the castle and cruise around, looking for the secret passage of the Calla Lily family. You lead the knights to withdraw to the place where the gate is to make room for Baron Batty."

"But such an obvious trick, will Baron Batty fall for it?"

"He won't be fooled, but he will come out. There are only a few days left for the food in the inner castle. Either he will run out of food in a few days, or he will break out now." Vasha said with a smile: "He will not be able to wait any longer." Die, you might survive if you fight once, let's withdraw now and give him a chance to fight, do you think he will come out."

Vasha also wanted to finish the battle as soon as possible, and then quickly went to the hinterland of the Tulip collar to plunder. Although he couldn't occupy the territory, it would be good to grab some food, serfs, and gold coins.

What's more, they have been here for a long time. There are a lot of ores in the territory of the Calla Lily Flower family. Most of their family's property is hidden in the inner castle. If Earl Katz comes, it will not matter how much they can get. It's easy to say.
