Chapter 462: Pressing the Realm

"Who sued me, why did those lowly and filthy pigs come to the city!"

In the majestic and opulent Lord's Mansion, a male roar sounded in a spacious chamber. The man who was hysterically questioning the officials below and slapping the table hard. His foam almost squirted onto the official at the opposite table, which made a young boy sitting next to him turn sideways.

"Lord Yalo, the people were forced by the enemy, so they had no choice but to enter the city." A man stood up and said, his face square, the kind of person who doesn't give in lightly.

"Captain Jeff, I remember that your mission was supposed to be to protect the city. No, it's supposed to protect us, right? Now please take a good look at the pigs who are usurping our property. As the captain of the guard, shouldn't you do your duty and get them all out! The man known as Yarrow said.

"This is really ......"

"Why, if you can't do it, then let someone else be the captain!"

At this time, another officer coughed lightly and said, "I must warn Lord Yarrow that since the death of Sir Duruff, our people have been reduced to one-third of their original size. This is a reminder that our tax revenues have shrunk dramatically, and last quarter, we recovered less than half of what we used to do. If the people are driven away at such a time, it is very likely that they will leave the territory. ”

"Without the people, it will be difficult to maintain the territory, I don't know if you have considered it, Lord Yaluo."

Yaluo slapped the table and said angrily: "As long as there is territory, it is not as many untouchables as there are." Besides, that's what you should be troubled about. Otherwise, how can you live up to the salary that Sir Oss has offered you? ”

The official said coldly: "It turns out that Lord Yarrow still remembers that this territory belongs to Sir Oss, so should Lord Sir decide on this matter?" ”

Yarrow looked at the boy next to him and smiled, "Oss is still young, as his uncle, I have an obligation to assist him." So this matter, I decided to do it. ”

"But uncle, I think it......" The young man next to him wanted to put forward a different opinion, but he was suddenly glared at by Yaluo, and he had an empty stomach full of thoughts but could only swallow it back into his stomach: "Yes, I think it's good for my uncle to decide." ”

Hearing this, Captain Jeff and the dissenting official both showed disappointed expressions. They exchanged a look, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. After Duruff's death, his only son, Os, inherited the title and domain. However, the son of Sir Hungry Wolf has an extremely docile personality, coupled with his young age, so his power is overridden by his uncle, that is, Duruff's younger brother Yarrow.

Yarotong Guò Oss controlled the territory, and he was even more greedy than Duruff. In less than a month, the tax was collected from the people three times in a row. Not only did the people be angry, but even the officials below couldn't stand it. If a lord does not know how to cherish his people, he will only end up being abandoned. A knight who has lost his people is not a lord at all.

At this time, the door of the chamber was pushed open, and a soldier hurriedly ran in and shouted: "My lords, no, the enemy has come outside our city!" ”

Hearing this, Yalo's arrogance just now disappeared. He smiled dryly, pushed the young man next to him and said, "Lord Oos, since the enemy has come." As a knight, you'll have to go and see what's going on. ”

"Me? But I ......," the boy looked at Jeff pleadingly.

Jeff sighed and said, "Lord Oos, the soldiers and I will fight to protect you." ”

Oss nodded and said to Yaluo again, "Uncle will come with you, right?" ”

Yalo laughed and said, "I'm just an insignificant person, and this kind of big thing still has to be decided by you." ”

Jeff and the other officials all cast disdainful glances at Arlow, this timid man who was afraid of death chose to back down at the critical moment, and left the responsibility of deciding the life and death of a city to the young knight who was still an adult.

Regardless, Jeff and the others left with the young Sir in their arms. After they were all gone, Yaluo lowered his face and said, "A bunch of fools, it's just a broken city, what is there to defend." If the other party wants it, just give it to them. ”

Arriving at the top of the city, Sir lifted his toes and could see an army marching in the direction of the city on the ground outside Fenrir. The army was in regular formation, with infantry in the center and cavalry on the flanks. The infantry was divided into several branches, and after Captain Jeff handed Oss a monocular, Sir Jr. headed for the opposing formation.

The first thing you see is a row of shirtless soldiers in leggings with swords or hammers in their hands. These men had no armor and weapons of various styles, looking like a group of slaves carrying weapons into battle at random. Except that their eyes are sharp, and they have a look of longing for something. It was a gaze that made Oss feel palpitations, at least as he had ever seen on the face of any slave.

Behind them, regular infantry soldiers. They wore uniform standard armor and carried swords. Behind the infantry is fire. The gun team, these soldiers in charge of long-range raids, are all dressed in dark red clothing, making them look like a blazing flame from a distance. Fire. Behind the gun corps is still infantry, apparently the opposing commander will fire. The gunman was placed in a more important position.

This army was in a neat formation, and while advancing towards Fenrir City, it also sent an invisible pressure in the direction of the city. Osna had seen this kind of staff before, and his little hands were already trembling when he put down the binoculars. He glanced at the others, including Jeff, whose faces were also ugly. Oss couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was not the most timid after all.

The army came to a place a few hundred meters from the city gate and stopped, and the fire was located in the position of the Chinese army. The gun team suddenly came out of the ranks, and they numbered a hundred. A fire for everyone. The gun pointed diagonally at the sky, and then a hundred guns fired in unison. A single gunshot may not be very loud, but when a hundred gunshots converge into a soul-shaking sound, even Guard Captain Jeff's fingers tremble.

As for Oss, he simply hugged the captain's thick waist, like a frightened fawn.

The gunfire was followed by fire. The guncorps retreated, the army split in the center, and the soldiers on both sides moved in unison in opposite directions, forming a passage. In the passage, in front of the horse, it was a young boy. His silver hair reflected in the sunlight, and he looked up, his red pupils condensing a sharp gaze that swept between the people in the city.

When his gaze swept over Oss, the other party's eyes moved slightly, and they turned as usual.

Looking at this lifeless city, looking at the people on the city who are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, Alan couldn't help but sigh. As soon as Duruff died, the territory immediately lost its supporting strength, and if it weren't for the fact that it was so barren that it wouldn't even have the desire to be carved up by other knights. At this moment, this Fenrir city must have disappeared long ago.

Putting away his complicated feelings, Alan raised his voice, first announcing his name, and then saying: "I have come on behalf of Earl Oban, and now, I declare that this place has been included in the Earl's domain. City Fenrir, I ask you to surrender. If you resist, then my army will crush the disobedience and crush the will to disobey. ”

"But before I do that, I want to say this to the people of this territory. This is a war of the nobility, and you, as a lord, are innocent, so I can promise you. Folks of Fenrir City, if you leave the city, I can let you go. If you are on my side, then I will provide you with plenty of food. I will tell you with practical deeds that this territory will be reborn under my rule. Alan rode around in front of the army and finally said, "This is my mercy, and there is only one chance." ”

The city of Fenri was silent, and Alan did not let it be silent for long, and he added, "As for the nobles, I can accept your surrender. But if you want to rebel......"

Alan glanced at the army behind him and said loudly, "Soldiers, tell them the result of their rebellion!" ”

Eight hundred warriors shouted in unison: "Die! ”

"Yes, there is a limit to my mercy. My patience is also limited, and for now, I'm giving you a day. In a day, if the nobles do not surrender, I will attack! ”

Alan gestured, and the army dispersed, putting on a siege pattern, and the hearts of everyone at the head of the city sank.

A haze hung over the city of Fenrir, and in the streets and alleys, in the shadows of the buildings, people exchanged ears and discussed the terms of Alan's offer. There is no doubt that this condition is undoubtedly excessively generous for the civilian population. As long as the nobles have no chance of winning, then defecting to Allen is a normal choice. The only problem was that no one knew if what the young nobleman said could be trusted.

The reality in the city is that there is a shortage of food, and the people in the territory are basically concentrated in the city. In normal times, the inhabitants of the city did not have a full meal, let alone the influx of other lords. Food had been hoarded by the nobles not long ago, and Yarrow didn't care about the lives of the commoners, all he cared about was himself.

So the people who were swaying on both sides of starvation and food couldn't help but swallow when they saw Alan openly put a cart of food in front of the battle. This time it was Willik who stood in front of the battle, and he patted the food on the car and said, "Our Lord Allen has always done what he says, look, there is a cart of food in front of your eyes right now. There is bread, water, and even dried meat. They're here, just waiting for you to pick them up! ”

Not long after saying this, a man staggered from the side of the city wall, and he shouted, "I surrender!" I surrender, give me food! ”

A fire on the city wall. The gunman raised his gun and was about to shoot the man. A hand was pressed on his gun, and the soldier looked up, but it was his officer.

The officer shook his head and motioned for the soldier to lower his gun. R1058
