July 24, 290 AD of the Britannia Empire.

22:37 pm.

Within the Luolin Empire, on the south bank of the Shunau River, Leer City.

Eugene, who is now standing on the northern wall of Lyle City, is in despair.

According to his estimation, on the morning of July 22, Ode, the city closest to him, would have failed to deliver the baggage on time, and then suspected that something had happened in Leer City.

On the night of July 22, Oed will know the current situation of Leer City being attacked by the Britannian army. Then after a day's march, probably on the morning of July 24, he will be able to see Oed's

Reinforcements arrived and the army fell.

However, the facts surprised Eugène. Until today, the night of July 24, Eugène had not seen Oude's reinforcements coming!

This makes Ou Ren's current situation very embarrassing.

In the past few days, in order to boost the morale of the troops, he has been telling the soldiers that as long as the morning of July 24th, reinforcements will arrive, and we will no longer have to suffer from the British army.

The torture!

Eugene was convinced that Ode would bring reinforcements to the rescue on the morning of July 24th. Convinced of this, Eugene patted his chest and Xiamen guaranteed that the reinforcements would definitely come at that time.

However, Eugene's face was now swollen, and until late at night, no reinforcements from Oede came.

This gaffe of Eugene's not only greatly reduced Eugene's prestige in the army, but also greatly reduced the morale of the army.

The expected reinforcements did not arrive as expected. It would be strange if morale did not drop.

Originally, in the past five days, during the endless "fighting against the enemy" by the Britannia army, all the defenders had been tortured to the point of exhaustion, and their morale was already very low.

Now, after seeing that the reinforcements did not arrive as expected, morale has dropped further, to the point where even if a defeat occurs, Eugene will not be surprised.

Ou Ren already felt a little regretful now.

Regret a lot of things.

I regret that I shouldn't have spoken so fully, causing me to break my promise now, causing the morale of the entire team to plummet.

At the same time, I also regret my initial decision of "holding on".

Originally, Eugène was sure that Oede would definitely come with reinforcements, so there was no need to do such a risky thing as "the whole army leaves the city to fight the Britannia army in the wild", so Eugène ordered the whole army to stand still.

, silently enduring the intrusion of "tiring the enemy tactics" and quietly waiting for Oede to lead his army to come for support.

Because of Eugene's decision, the defenders of Leyre City were now so exhausted from the "enemy fatigue tactics" that many soldiers could not even stand still because they had not slept well for a long time.

The current situation of the army is that it is no longer possible to go out and confront the recharged Britannia army in the wild. They can only continue to stay in the city of Lyell and wait for reinforcements.

Eugene felt a little scared now.

Judging from the current state of the army, its combat effectiveness is probably not even 5 out of 10.

If the Britannia Army launches a general offensive now, the consequences will be disastrous!

Therefore, Ou Ren is very scared now. While he is still scared, he is also praying silently.

Pray that reinforcements can arrive as soon as possible! Come as soon as possible when the Britannia Army launches its general offensive!

Eugene, who was standing on the northern city wall, opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at the camp of the Britannia Army in the north.

In the past few days, because of the endless "enemy exhaustion tactics" of the Britannia Army, Eugene had basically not had a good rest in the past five days.

Ou Ren, whose physical strength and energy are not as good as before, now even feels that the armor on his body, which he could not feel the weight before, is a little heavier now.

Tonight, Eugène, as usual, couldn't sleep because he was tortured by the endless sound of horns, so he went up to the north city wall to look at the scenery and relax his mind.

Just then the trumpet sound suddenly stopped.

After hearing the horn sound that suddenly stopped, Ou Ren couldn't help but sneer, and then murmured:

"It's starting again..."

During these five days, Eugene gradually understood the "enemy-disturbing tactics" of the Britannia army outside the city.

First of all, the endless sound of horns disturbed them in their sleep, preventing them from having a good rest.

Then, when the horns stopped sounding, they sent out troops to charge towards Leer City, as if they were going to attack the city, "scare" them, and let them climb up the city wall slowly and chaotically to prepare for the enemy, and further

It tortures them physically and mentally.

Then, just as he was about to enter the range of the crossbow, he stopped and then retreated.

Finally, the annoying horn sound is blown again.

During these five days, the Britannian army outside the city endlessly repeated this routine to torture them.

Therefore, after hearing the horn sound stop and seeing the Britannia army begin to charge here again, Eugene did not feel the slightest panic in his heart.

I just felt in my heart: Ah, are they here again...

Now, even though he saw the Britannia army charging here again, Eugene did not order the soldiers to go up the city wall to prepare to defend against the enemy.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t dare!

If possible, Eugene also wanted to immediately send troops to the city wall to prepare for battle.

After all, although every attack by the Britannia Army so far has been a feint, you can't guarantee whether the next attack by the Britannia Army will actually launch a general attack.

So before that, for the sake of safety, every time the Britannia army launched a charge, Eugene would have his soldiers go up to the city wall to prepare for battle.

However, as time passed, the soldiers gradually became dissatisfied.

General, is there something wrong with your head? The Britannia army never really launches an attack! Why do we have to climb the city wall to prepare for battle?!

This is the voice of all soldiers.

The dissatisfaction accumulated little by little, and finally burst out yesterday!

The soldiers no longer wanted to listen to Eugène's orders. No matter what Eugène said, they were not willing to listen to Eugène's orders and climb the wall again.

Although Ou Ren tried to reason with them again and again, the soldiers, who were already irritable after many days of "enemy exhaustion tactics", could not listen to them.

Eugene originally wanted to use military law to suppress the dissatisfaction of the soldiers.

However, the number of dissatisfied soldiers far exceeded Ou Ren's expectation!

If Eugene plans to use military law to suppress violently, then he is afraid that it will trigger a mutiny!

In order to prevent the mutiny from happening, Eugene could only choose to retreat and promised the soldiers that he would never issue such a "stupid" and "waste of time and energy" order again.

Therefore, even if he saw the Britannia army launching a charge now, Eugene could only watch helplessly and could not let the soldiers go up the city wall to prepare for battle.

Sigh... It seems that I am still too young... I can't even hold down 5,000 people. If it were seniors like Barr, Denis, and Leo, they should be able to deal with the dissatisfaction of the soldiers.

Effectively appease them, let them continue to obey orders, and no mutiny will break out... It seems that I still have a lot to learn... huh? Wait...

Eugene, who was silently complaining about his inexperience, suddenly noticed that the Britannia army outside the city was a little different from the past.

Ou Ren didn't know what to say. In short, the momentum was a little different.

The current momentum of the Britannian army is completely different from before.

When they were about to approach the range of the crossbows, the Britannia army had no intention of stopping.

Shouldn't it be?!

Eugene's eyes widened, and then he supported the city wall with both hands, staring intently at the Britannia army outside the city that was about to enter the range of the crossbow.

Soon, the Britannia army entered the range of the crossbows. After entering the shooting range, they did not retreat as before, but continued to rush straight towards Leer City carrying the ladder!

Seeing this scene, Ou Ren felt as if the blood in his body was freezing.

subsequently

"Enemy attack!! The Britannian army is really attacking!!! Everyone is ready to climb the wall!!!!"

Ou Ren's shrill roar, which was about to break, quickly spread with him as the center of the circle.

In addition to Eugene, the soldiers who stayed on the city wall for daily vigilance also quickly issued an enemy attack warning.

It's a pity that it's too late.

Because apart from the soldiers on daily alert, there were no soldiers on the city wall preparing for battle.

Therefore, even if the Britannia army stepped into the range of the crossbows early, not a single arrow was shot at them.

The Britannia army remained unscathed and rushed to the gate of Lyell.

And Eugene, who was staying on the city wall, could only look at the Britannia army who had already set up the ladder on the city wall with a look of despair.

However, Ou Ren quickly recovered from his panic and fear.

Knowing that he would definitely die if he stayed here any longer, Eugene quickly turned around and ran towards the bottom of the city wall.

It must be said that Eugène was really lucky. He managed to escape under the city wall before the Britannias climbed onto the city wall.

The first person to climb the city wall was a little girl with brown hair and green eyes.

This little girl with brown hair and green eyes has a frosty face and is holding a black ax gun.

Following closely behind the little girl with brown hair and green eyes was a little girl with black hair and golden eyes. This little girl held a long sword in her hand.

After the two little girls took the lead in scaling the city wall, soldiers from the Britannia Army also scaled the city wall one after another.
