Chapter 5 Disastrous Failure

Two days later, along a route with a frontal width of thirty miles, troops from a province of 530,000 miles, which could be said to have no combat effectiveness, were sparsely heading towards the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fortress'. I think even the most brilliant ones on the continent

The generals were unable to attack quickly in such a formation. The soldiers were in one group in the east and one in the west. They walked together according to their usual friendships. In a dense place, two hundred people were squeezed into the area of ​​more than ten feet.

There are many people, but in sparse areas, there is a small team moving slowly about a hundred feet away.

The entire queue was delayed for fifty miles, which is more than half a day's journey. With such a formation, if a cavalry team were to charge, the only result would be the destruction of the entire army, because by the time they charge to the end, the horses will be tired.

If you die, it will be impossible to fight again.

Kailuo's cavalry stood on a small dirt bag. The knights frowned and looked at the army walking past like defeated soldiers in front of them. These soldiers did not have any awareness of the possibility of fighting, and each one said

Bragging crazily, such as how many enemy soldiers he could easily kill.

Kailo snorted: "The empire's public opinion propaganda is really outrageous. Although one of our regular soldiers can definitely deal with three soldiers of the Smart Empire, and one of our senior knights can kill two of them, but that's all

They are regular troops. Look at these guys, do you think you can deal with the Smart Empire’s army just by relying on them? You’re kidding.”

His adjutant, the deputy captain of Duke Greene's guard, asked in a low voice: "Sir, are Carlin's words reliable? Let's go there just in case..."

Kailo laughed: "What if? What are you afraid of? Anyway, as long as we don't get close to the Iron-Blooded Battle Castle, if we don't attack the city, the facilities in the city will not be used. Hehe, what can they do to us? Fifty

It will take two days to kill ten thousand people, not to mention that these soldiers have weapons in their hands, so we will give them a good meal no matter what."

Kailo paused, patted the sword on his waist, and smiled: "Besides, since that Carlin swore by his own honor, he also swore by the gods of their Smart Empire, I guess it's always half the truth.

It's reliable, we just have to be careful. Besides, even if they have some tricks, hehe..." Kailo looked at the way he was looking, with a weird smile on his face. Several knights around him

He raised his eyebrows and showed an understanding smile on his face, that's it.

The advance force led by Klaus personally, totaling 5,000 people, that is, five teams, arrived two miles away from the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fort'. These five teams were the ones who saw Kailo the day before yesterday.

All the people who were talking to Carlin have been dispatched now.

What made the soldiers in this team feel incredible was that Carlin actually took six beautiful little girls and put a carpet on the edge of a small bush and were having a picnic there. Seeing Klaus and the others coming, Carlin

Lin held a chicken leg in his mouth, greeted this side vaguely, and shouted: "Oh my god, why did you delay it for two days? Don't you know how fast soldiers are? My personal

The supplies are almost gone. Fortunately, I won a copper in a bet and bought some chicken legs from the quartermaster to barbecue. You guys, I am really disappointed."

Klaus and the others were speechless. They stood there blankly, looking at Carlin who looked aggrieved. Carlin wiped the oil on his robe without caring about his grace, and swallowed it with all his strength.

With a mouth full of chicken, he helped the two little girls stand up, pointing and saying: "Ah, you guys, divide into a team to go to the west gate, a team to go to the north gate, and a team to go to the east gate. Get ready to set a fire. We have all the firewood.

I'm ready. I'm just waiting for you to go in and set the fire... Well, once the fire is set, I can get enough military merits to go home. Come on, come on, my army has been camped outside the city for three days.

Waiting for you."

Klaus frowned and ignored him. He waved his hand and motioned for Lei to take a few people over to take a look. Lei nodded, carried a long sword, carried a bow and arrow on his back, and headed towards the "Iron Blood War" with a few recruits.

Bao' ran. Carlin watched Lei and the others rush into the city, with a satisfied smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Where is your General Kailuo? Go and tell him to hurry up, and at the same time remind him not to

Forgetting his knightly oath, he cannot pursue me."

After a while, Lei's head appeared on the city wall. After looking around, he quickly ran back with others and reported loudly: "Sir, the city is empty. There are people accumulated at the city gate.

Some firewood and about 50,000 troops were stationed outside the south gate. The soldiers did not set up tents, but worked and rested directly on the dirt. They did not wear armor, and the horses had no saddles. No other people or horses could be seen far or near.

"

Karin spread his hands: "Okay, I keep my word. In order to save food, I sent 100,000 people back yesterday. Now, that guy Salin is preparing to leave with his people. He is waiting for you.

Take over, let's just pretend to fight."

The recruits were beaming with joy. They had a good relationship. They also knew that if the 'Second Strongest City in the Mainland' was recaptured in their hands, the credit would be huge. Hehe, there is no need to risk a real battle. It is really too great.

What a wonderful thing.

Klaus nodded, waved his hand, and divided the two teams to go to the west gate and east gate. Anyway, since Kailo gave the order and the other party did the same, it would be a good thing to be able to get some credit without losing any blood.

Well. Klaus is really worried about the fighting ability of his subordinates.

Kalin nodded with a smile and said: "In that case, I will go back to my team. Well, I will tell you generals not to use your bows when you attack. If you accidentally hurt me, humph, then I guarantee that you will be safe."

The army of the Te Empire will arrive again soon. That's it, I'm leaving, no need to send me off." Karin hugged six beauties and headed towards his team's location.

A top-level silver knight rushed over with a dozen high-level bronze knights. He happened to hear Carlin's last few words and immediately denounced him: "Nonsense, huh, that is, the 'Green Field Corps' accidentally

We were just annihilated by you. Do you think the army of your Smart Empire is really that powerful? Huh, the most elite legions of our empire have already arrived, and at the same time, there are also the private legions of three dukes, and they are starting a head-on battle.

You will lose no matter what."

Karin turned around in surprise and looked at the silver knight. A smile gradually appeared on his face, and he laughed with his mouth wide open: "Ha, ha, ha, of course, I admit that the Legion of the Vante Empire is the number one in the mainland.

But aren't I already preparing to retreat? By the way, I'm sending a message to you, General Kailo. If you have a chance, please tell your Majesty Shagru, well, this time we went to war, it was actually my father who wanted to get me

It takes some credit to encourage our Majesty to send troops. Alas, I hope your country will never misunderstand our friendship with your country, hehe. After all, we are allies who have signed an alliance."

Everyone is speechless. A man with a large number of subordinates rushes to your house, kills a bunch of your gatekeepers, and suddenly tells you that everyone is a friend. What would you think?

Carlin smiled and pulled several beautiful women towards the team, but Klaus had already muttered in a low voice: "What a playboy, and he still has women in the army?"

The silver knight snorted coldly: "Master Klaus, haven't you noticed? Those little girls are all very powerful magicians. Judging from the way they walk, they are still virgins. How could they be Carlin's?

Lover? Hey, he is afraid of death, so he brings a few bodyguards to protect him?" He raised his voice just enough for Carlin to hear.

Karin turned around angrily and cursed: "Fuck, am I afraid of death? Huh, let me tell you, these little girls are magicians, and they are indeed virgins. However, I want to accept them as lovers, it's simply

It's too simple, who would refuse? Well, if you are afraid of death, just go to the river to the west and live alone. Alas, maybe you can meet some beautiful river demons and hook up with you."

Several female mages followed Carlin back with smiles, while the silver knight waved his fist at Carlin angrily and issued an order: "Lord Kailuo said, you guys will be stationed outside the north gate as the main camp.

Sir Kailuo himself led the Chinese army and 150,000 soldiers into the battle fort, and if anything happens, he will go to the city to report, do you understand?"

Klaus nodded and said nothing more. He just watched the groups of troops approaching the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Castle'. After inspecting the situation of the castle, they entered the city. Kailo stood on the south wall,

He smiled at the more than 50,000 soldiers of the Smart Empire, nodded and said: "These are no problem. With this city wall, even if they put 500,000 troops outside, we can withstand it."

It is impossible to destroy the "Battle Fortress" with external force... Inform the rear team to speed up the pace of advance, we need to show Emperor Smart's power."

The officers around him understood and ran away quickly to convey the order, and the four city gates were tightly closed. Kailo was still worried about what tricks the Smart Empire would have. In any case, he would first open the city gates.

It is always much safer to close and pull up the suspension bridge, and countless recruits with complete armor and weapons rushed up to the city wall and gave excited instructions.

In addition to the twenty-odd teams led by Klaus's subordinates and young people from Kali Village, other recruits with full sets of armor and weapons rushed into the city. This is the recruit who has slightly stronger combat power. To put it bluntly,

Naturally, some of the better-equipped soldiers were placed in the city as a reserve force. The other recruits, who were equipped with iron-tipped wooden sticks, set up camp outside the city under the leadership of their commanders.

Then, blazing fires were set off at the four city gates, and the armies from both sides cheered at the same time. About five hundred kilograms of firewood created such an effect, enough to smoke the city walls as if they had gone through a bloody battle.

Karin, riding on a white war horse, shrugged and said, "Oh, what a group of naive young men. The city was just given to them, and they didn't have any suspicion at all?"

A sixth-level Diamond Dragon mage beside him sneered: "Sir, the Vante Empire is too superstitious about its own force. In their view, the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Castle' is absolutely impossible to conquer."

Karin nodded: "Yes, it's normal for them to think so. If we attack them seriously instead of having the traitor General Shalin, oh, my God, General Shalin, I don't mean to look down on you.

, you are a noble of our Smart Empire, yes, damn it, how dare I look down on you? Believe me... well, wanting to conquer the 'Iron-Blooded Battle Fort' from the outside is an idea only a madman would have.

, I am a normal person, so...why can't our empire build such a castle?"

The surrounding knights of the Smart Empire were speechless. The Vant Empire relied on a powerful legion and naturally had a special interest in building a powerful castle. The highest status in the Smart Empire was a magician, and a large amount of money was revealed.

When it comes to magic research and the manufacture of magic weapons, where can you find the spare money to build such a perverted castle? The 'sacred city' known as the number one in the mainland was built by the joint efforts of several countries.

Karin muttered: "It's getting dark soon, right? Well, give me a sword."

The people around were stunned, and the sixth-level Dragon Dragon mage just asked stammeringly: "Sir, what did you say? Do you want a sword?"

Karin looked at them seriously: "Of course, a sword. In fact, my dream since I was a child is to be a great knight. But now, except for riding girls, I don't have much spirit in riding horses. However, I can carry a sword."

I'm still happy to do this kind of thing to kill a few trash soldiers with my sword."

A group of high-level mages around him resolutely rejected his request: "Sir, it's impossible. Your safety is the most important thing."

Karin snorted coldly: "My safety? If you protect me, my safety cannot be guaranteed, so what's the use of you? Give me a sword, or you will be dismissed by me and go back."

Become a magic apprentice."

The mages stared at Carlin for a long time. Carlin smiled habitually, turned up the corners of his mouth, and stopped talking. After two cups of tea, a handle was made of fine steel and passed through more than a dozen high-level

The sword blessed by the mage was delivered to Karin.

Kailuo stood on the tower and roared in a low voice: "Strange, why don't they leave? The play is over, what else do they want to do?" He was feeling annoyed: "Didn't they say they killed the leading troops?

?But how did you get them back safely? What on earth is this guy Carlin thinking?"

Kailo called a bronze knight and ordered him to ask what Emperor Smart was planning to do. After a while, the knight came back with a hurried horse, a strange look on his face. Kailo asked

To: "What did he say?"

The knight bowed and replied: "My lord, he, he proposed that they have run out of food and will run out of food tonight. If we don't provide them with enough food for three days, they will not leave. Fifty thousand people will eat three days."

Tian's food supply is only 150,000 jins, but they want 300,000 jins."

Kailo roared angrily: "Damn it, are they trying to blackmail me? If I hadn't sworn the knight's oath, I would have ordered the brigade to kill them... Damn it." Kailo screamed fiercely, but he knew it

, I don’t dare to let those new soldiers attack those 50,000 people, unless I am crazy, I will do this. A group of rubbish attacking a group of elite soldiers who have already formed a formation is looking for death. Even if the opponent is not wearing armor, fighting

The quality is not comparable to that of new recruits.

Kailuo shouted: "Tell them that the grain and grass trains will not arrive until midnight, and ask them to wait until dawn tomorrow. They must get out of here, otherwise the 'Silver Wolf Legion' sent by the imperial capital will arrive... I

I don’t want the big men in the imperial capital to see me hooking up with people from the Smart Empire. This is a capital crime..." Kailuo’s eyes wandered in circles and he began to think about how to deal with Lei and the thousands of people who were watching.

Carlin and the soldiers he was discussing with were here. It was originally a good thing that the vanguard of the imperial capital had arrived, but what Kailo wanted to do most now was to send someone to tell the people in the imperial capital that everything was fine here and there was no need to rush.

However, Lei and the others suddenly didn't realize that after the new recruits set up camp, they were so bored that they had already told people in other teams about Kailo and Carlin's secret deal. So, an hour later, three people outside the city
To be continued...
