Standing at the head of the fortress of Barnoor, Arantrán let out a long sigh as he looked at the endless army of Frank outside the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The forty-eight-year-old Arantrán is an extremely ordinary-looking man, but in his unremarkable body he has extraordinary bravery and loyalty. As early as when Basbahn was the heir of Bataan, Arantran followed him and quietly did everything he could. Some people say that compared to his high martial arts, his talent as a martial artist was slowly acquired through many years of following Basbarn, but this is not bad at all. During his long career with Basbane, Arantran grew from a captain of his chamberlain to a commander who could take charge of his own affairs, and at the same time gained the trust of the sovereign, who had performed well in all the battles with the sovereign, and thus earned the title of Captain of Paswan, and this time was entrusted with the important task of defending against the invasion of the Frankish kingdom.

Truth be told, with Arantlan's personality, he was willing to fight the enemy head-on. Unfortunately, it backfired, but the order given by Bai Basbahn was to hold on to it thoroughly. Of course, this is because the number of Paz's army is not enough to confront the huge Frankish army head-on, but in this way, the cavalry raid that Arantlan is best at cannot be used, which is also the fundamental reason why Alantlan is not in a good mood.

The fortress of Banor was a fortress that stretched out on the path of the Frankish army's eastward advance, and its sturdiness was only prohibitive for even the most powerful siege weapons, because its treacherous terrain made it impossible for heavy siege engines to be used in front of it, and if it were to be attacked by an army, the attackers would have to pay several times the casualties of the defenders. At present, Arantran and his 25,000 elite soldiers are stationed in this fortress, and unless the Frank army attacks it regardless of casualties, even a year and a half of siege will not be able to cross this fortress.

Of course, the Franks could have avoided the fortified fortress and gone elsewhere, but the 80,000-strong army led by the 10,000-strong cavalry commander Billiudas was forming a continuous line blocking other possible routes to the east, and the fortress of Barnor was the best route in terms of the efficiency of the eastward advance.

Just as Alantlan was discouraged by the long period of holding out, Frank's army moved.

Arantran immediately ordered the whole army to be on alert, he did not expect that the Frankish army would attack so rashly, which was obviously not what a wise general would do.

But the Frankish sortie was not very large, numbering only about 5,000 men, and they were apparently holding hundreds of captives, all of whom were women.

"Bastard! Are these damn Frank mongrels going to humiliate women to provoke me into battle? Arantran immediately thought of the enemy's possible tactics - if he humiliated the women of Paz in front of a large number of Paz soldiers, the soldiers would be furious and warlike, and if he refused to fight, he would inevitably provoke a strong backlash, and if he went into battle, he would be in the hands of the enemy.

When the Frankish army advanced to the critical point of the range of the bow and arrow, they stopped, and slowly stepped out of the Frankish army. Arantran noticed that it was a general of his own age, who was supposed to be of high status judging by his dress and armor, and that it was strange that this man was a cripple, with his left hand broken from the forearm down.

"Listen, people in the city, I am the commander of the Frankish army, Grand Duke Miranda Deguzorf! Please come out and answer your highest commands! The general on the horse shouted in standard Paz language.

Arantran immediately stood up and said loudly, "I am the commander of this city, Arantlan!" If you have anything to say, just say it! ”

Deguzorff bowed slightly on his horse, and said, "It is an honor to meet the famous Lord Alantlan. As you can see, I did not come today to fight your army, but to return a group of prisoners of your country. ”

"Is that all?" Arantrán looked the crippled enemy commander down with suspicion.

Dguzolf nodded and said, "That's all." I am very sorry that on the way to invade your country, two cities that had been stubbornly resisted were breached by our army. Our army has sacked and slaughtered these cities, and unfortunately they have killed all the men and children in the city before they can intervene in this matter, and only the women are humiliated. Although I severely punished some of the people who took the lead, this could not make up for the harm caused by our army to the military and people of your country, let alone express my guilt and apologies. The only thing that can be done now is to return these poor women to your country, even if it is to make a small atonement for the crimes of our army. It is hoped that Lord Alantlan will be able to take these women in, return them to their own arms, and settle them well. ”

Alantlan stared at Deguzorff, and from the other man's expression he could not see any element of fraud. If this Deguzorf is not a man of too integrity, then he must be a poisonous snake. Arantran made such a judgment.

No matter what the reason behind it is, since the other party has already made a move, Alantlan has only the share of the move. Refusing to accept these women, who might be mixed with spies, would obviously be a big disappointment, and would be a sign of weakness to the enemy. Therefore, after a little thought, Arantran said: "Although I cannot thank Your Excellency for such an act, we are still willing to accept the victims of these wars. In addition, I would like to inform Your Excellency the Grand Duke that in the future, please admonish your subordinates well, this heinous act will be remembered by our army, and in the near future we will use our sword to seek justice that belongs to us! ”

"Thank you for your kind reminder, and I will take my leave. We look forward to seeing you on the battlefield! Dützorff bowed again, then turned his horse and waved his hand, and withdrew with his army, leaving only the ragged women.

When the Franks had withdrawn, Arantlan sent a group of soldiers to open the gates and bring the women in. People are brought in, but the annoying work has just begun, and it is obvious that the Franks will not be so kind, and these women will inevitably be mixed with some spies they have planted, and these women must be screened well. However, Alantlan did not want to take matters into his own hands, and after handing over the matter to the military attache in charge of intelligence, he returned to his post and continued to study how to deal with this enemy named Deguzorff, who was a difficult person to deal with from today's contacts.
