On the second dawn of the siege, at the darkest moment of the day, a voice suddenly broke the silence.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!! "
Clang! Clang!
Clang! Red wolf fire immediately lit up. The soldiers who were sleeping in their armor quickly got up and climbed up the stairs to the city wall.
However, they did not see the aggressive enemy, nor did they see the densely packed attacks. They also did not see the scene of countless raindrops hitting the barrier of the city wall.
There was only the dark and boundless wilderness.
"Where is the enemy? Where is the enemy? "
"You know the consequences of a false alarm! Who is it? Who shouted? "
The soldiers began to look for the first person who shouted the enemy attack. Of course, no one stood up.
At this moment, the first light of dawn appeared. The ground suddenly lit up. They suddenly looked up.
"What is it?"
The soldiers looked up and saw a large number of things floating in the sky. There was no wind today. They slowly fell in front of everyone. They only knew what it was when someone reached out and grabbed it.
Paper.
"Those who surrender will not be killed."
Someone read out the words written on it, but he was immediately glared at by the others. As expected, the angry officer rushed over. He immediately picked up or took away the leaflets in the hands of the soldiers.
"No one is allowed to pick them up! You all know that you only have one way out. If you surrender, will the enemy really let you go? Ask yourself, what have you done in this battle? Will that narrow-minded king forgive you? "
As he walked, he yelled at the top of his lungs. Soon, he could no longer hold a single piece of paper in his hand. The officer threw it out of the city wall and clapped his hands.
"Did you all hear that? This is the enemy's trick! It's a trap! I order you to burn all the trash on the ground or do what I did and throw it out of the wall. Quick! What are you waiting for? "
However, even if they could burn all the leaflets by the city wall, they could not be sure that no one in the city would pick them up or hide them. They did not know how the enemy passed through the barrier and sent the leaflets in. They only knew that there was additional work to be done.
Burning the leaflets.
The enemy did not attack, but they had achieved their goal. The morale of the Eagle Regiment slowly collapsed. Surrendering was not an option. It was better than dying in battle or freezing to death.
The Eagle Group's plan was actually very simple. They would plunder the food and resources of the central region and gather them in the north. Then, they would pretend to be defeated and return those cities to the Empire. They knew that with the Kalis Empire's power, they would not be able to send more resources to those cities. Famine would definitely spread this winter. If the Empire did not care about the refugees, then the blame for the famine would be placed on the Empire's head, and the people's hearts would naturally not be with the Empire.
If the Kalis Empire spent all their financial resources on disaster relief, although the possibility of this happening was very low, the result would be obvious. They would not be able to maintain the cost of the army, and the eagle regiment's counterattack would be as easy as breaking a bamboo.
No matter what, they would be able to exhaust the Kalis Empire to death this winter. The eagle regiment only needed to hide in the north, eat the food they had plundered, and wait quietly for spring.
However, man proposes, God disposes. They would never have expected the Demon King to intervene. They would never have thought that the Empire would suddenly obtain a large amount of food, and the source of the food was less than three hundred kilometers away from where the Eagle Corps had started.
Not only did the civilians get rid of the famine, but the Empire also used food as wages to let them start building cities. During this period, the King also took advantage of the weakness of the nobles and abolished the power of many lords and nobles.
Light snow swirled in the air. On a mountain road in the north, a mysterious caravan rolled its wheels across the winding mountains and headed east. No one knew where this caravan came from. Others only knew that they had brought with them countless grains, most of which were wheat.
However, in this long fleet of carriages, no one noticed that in one of the carriages, there was a noble lady dressed in civilian clothes. She sat in the dark carriage and followed the fleet of carriages … …
In the first month of winter, the Empire's fierce attack did not destroy the enemy's city, but they did not have any intention of retreating. The eagle regiment stationed in the city had already begun to disperse.
"Kill them!"
A furious roar was heard, followed by the sound of swords and the sound of bones shattering.
More than a dozen headless corpses appeared in the city. The angry commander and his terrifying Eagle Guardians were patrolling everywhere. This was because many soldiers were beginning to give up resistance and surrender to the enemy. The eagle regiment would not allow such a thing to happen. Even if they killed a hundred by mistake, they would not let a single one happen.
Clearly, their method was effective. No one dared to mention anything about the Empire because once they were reported and caught by the Eagle Guardians, they could be convicted even if there was no evidence.
The people in the city immediately became anxious, and no one dared to speak.
It was during this special period that an unexpected person appeared.
The gates facing the north opened, and an army from the north appeared. This was the reinforcement that the garrison had been yearning for. They had finally arrived.
"They're finally here!"
"Quite a few people came."
"We don't have to worry now!"
"Wait, I don't think I've seen that general before."
The soldiers and residents who came to welcome them noticed something strange. The leading soldier was very young. He wore green armor and a red tasseled helmet, and his eyes were as deep as an eagle's.
"He is! It's him! Great General Booth! "
Suddenly, someone recognized the general. That's right, the general who led the reinforcements was the Empire's great general, Booth, the son of Bloan. He was a very famous general among the people.
"General Booth has joined the eagle regiment!"
"Long live the Empire! Long live the eagle regiment! "
Everyone raised their weapons and cheered.
"General Booth used twenty thousand soldiers to defeat our one hundred thousand soldiers. Today, he will definitely lead us to victory against those dogs of the Empire!"
The soldiers cheered wildly. A young man wearing thin clothes suddenly appeared in front of the troops on a horse. He had an eagle insignia on his chest, proving that he was George's direct subordinate. His position was not lower than the general's.
He arrived in front of General Booth and looked around. Everyone could feel that he was different from the others. His eyes did not match his age. They were emotionless and cold, like a terrifying beast.
"Everyone, listen to me with your ears pricked up! From now on, General Booth will be in command! You have been incorporated into his army! Salute him! "
As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone raised their heads and stuck out their chests, placing their right hand on their left shoulder. Although they looked like a bunch of bandits, and some of them were in disarray, their voices were still loud and clear. "Long live General Booth!!"
General Booth was strangely silent. He only nodded indifferently, and there was not a trace of emotion in his eyes.
