Eugenie put down the telescope and looked away from the camp of the barbarians to the south of the town. She looked at the vassals who were walking towards her.
"Miss Eugenie." Sir Rayden Conover, who was dressed in armor, was the first to greet her. "It's a pleasure to see you here. The soldiers must be very encouraged!"
The other vassals also nodded at her and looked at her with friendly and encouraging eyes.
"My lords, how did your discussion go?" Eugenie asked, like a general waiting for news. She knew that her father had gathered all the vassals for a meeting at breakfast to discuss how to defend against the barbarians.
"As you can see, we are waiting for these guys to attack. The south gate is the main point. "A vassal answered.
"What about the north gate?" Eugenie asked. "If the giants attack from the north gate at night, do we have any good ideas?"
The north gate was the weakest point of the defense, and the giants were the enemy that Eugenie was most worried about.
"Don't worry, my lovely lady."
Sir Rayden Conover said in a relaxed tone, as if he was comforting a frightened little girl.
"We are fully prepared. The barbarians are nothing to be afraid of, and the same goes for the giants. If they dare to rush to the city wall, they will be shot like porcupines. As for the north gate, the Duke has also given orders. At night, we will use the catapults to throw fireballs. The light will be enough to see people a mile away, especially the giants. They are too big. This is their advantage, but also their fatal weakness. If there are any abnormalities, we can support them with crossbows at any time … "
In the telescope, the giants were like the gods of war in the legends. These guys were not much shorter than the city wall. Once several giants rushed to the city wall with their shields, she really didn't know how to stop them. Especially if it was a sneak attack.
After listening to the words of the vassals, Eugenie could only nod gloomily. Their military strength was limited. They couldn't distribute everyone equally, and the king of the barbarians had concentrated his troops outside the south gate.
Seeing Eugenie frowning and worried, Sir Staley, who was wearing silver-plated armor and a white cloak, comforted her in a firm tone: "Miss Eugenie, you don't have to be afraid. With us here, we can definitely guarantee your safety. The enemy can't defeat us with just the giants. To take the city wall, they need a lot of manpower and time. We can handle it, even if the enemy suddenly attacks. "
"That's right! Miss Eugenie, we are not on the plain or in the wild. "Another vassal spoke in a firm tone. "As long as the city walls are there, the barbarians won't be able to break in. Moreover, they don't have enough food. As long as we can hold on for ten days or half a month, the army from the Western Region will arrive. It will be the end of these bastards!"
Hearing about the reinforcements from the Western Region, Eugenie finally smiled.
"That's right!" She looked at the vassals with a determined gaze. "As long as we hold on for a few more days, it will be the end of these savages! They will definitely regret leaving the familiar grasslands and coming to the Northern Region to provoke us! "
"That's right, that's right!"
"Just wait and see. When these guys are defeated and the king of the savages dies under our swords, these savages will be the best slaves!"
"And those war horses, they can make up for the losses of our territory!"
…
Seeing her smile that was unique to a young girl, the vassals and Knight nodded repeatedly. They were so happy that it was as if they had coaxed their depressed children. Some of them even discussed how to divide the benefits with the Western Region after the war.
Eugenie agreed with a few words and said a few words of encouragement as Miss Kwilt. Then, under the protection of the Knight, she patrolled along the city wall to the south.
When she was far away from the vassals, the cheerful expression on Eugenie's face quickly became melancholy again, as if she had walked into a dark place from the sunshine.
They didn't have any reinforcements!
The news that the Western Region had already sent reinforcements was just a lie made up by her father and Jenny!
And not only was the news of reinforcements false, but also the 100,000 arrows that were mentioned before was also a lie!
She didn't understand what had gone wrong. In short, the nobles of the Western Region had no intention of sending reinforcements to help the Northern Region.
Although Jenny still insisted on writing letters, ever since her father refused the 50,000 arrows from the Farrett Family, the only promise they made was to send ships to help them evacuate.
Evacuate? Oh, the other side said it as if they were giving them a way out! But if the Kwilt Family left the Northern Region, would it still be the Kwilt Family?
This was a big lie. It was a lie that once exposed, before the barbarians could attack, the morale of the army would be in chaos and they would be utterly defeated! But what did it matter? Things had already come to this point, was there a better way?
They didn't expect any reinforcements from the Western Region. If a lie could make the soldiers fight bloody battles, what did it matter if the reinforcements from the Western Region didn't come in ten days or half a month?
Eugenie's small face was serious, her bright eyes revealing a worry that even the scorching sun couldn't dispel. The enemy was not only the barbarians outside the city wall, but also the traitors hiding inside the city wall, standing on top of the city wall, pretending to be their own people!
Who were they?
After walking for a while, Eugenie went down the stone steps to the back of the city wall. After walking for a while, she returned to the civilian's house that had been requisitioned. Along the way, no matter if it was a Knight or a serf, everyone respectfully greeted and saluted her.
At this moment, the family Knight was left outside the house, while the two free riders who had sworn allegiance followed her into the house.
"Miss."
Before Eugenie could rest, a thin man with an ordinary appearance, who looked like a refugee on the street, suddenly flashed out of the door leading to the backyard.
The three of them were not surprised at all, as if they had been waiting for a long time. Eugenie directly asked: "Is there any news about Pace? And is there anything unusual about that guy? "
The man shook his head and answered the first question. He then said, "Before dawn, he was beaten up by a few other refugees. Then, they searched his body. When the patrolling soldiers arrived, they framed him as a thief. The method was very covert. It seems that he really didn't know anything. "
"Refugees …" Eugenie frowned and murmured, and then asked: "Do you know the identity of those people? Where did they come from? "
The man shook his head again.
Eugenie frowned and thought for a while, and then ordered: "Secretly send a few silver coins to those people, they are the thieves."
Hearing this, the man immediately understood. After asking a question, he immediately retreated behind the door frame, and there was no movement, as if he had never appeared.
Eugenie stood quietly with her back to the two loyal guards. After a while, as if she had made a big decision, she turned to one of them and ordered: "I want a face, the sooner the better …"
