Bominte Port is a newly built port city with about 10,000 people.

Although it is not very numerous, it is inhabited by very few civilians, mostly sailors, mercenaries, and warriors.

After taking refuge in the eldest prince, the bandits on the Benlei River often visit here and regard this place as a foothold for themselves.

Although this is a newly built port, it is not inferior to the large port of Sunflower Castle. Even though the weather is about to enter winter, the port is still bustling with people.

The sailors who unloaded the cargo were even shirtless, exhaling white air with "hey, hey". They had to sort the goods that had traveled upstream from the Benlei River here, and then transport them by land or canal to the middle of the Sunflower Territory. Or Blossom City, or Duopeng Fortress, and then the people there will continue to streamline and classify the best ones to Sunflower Castle.

Baron of England was not ranked among the many supporters of the Grand Prince. His territory was limited, and his guards numbered only a hundred.

But the young baron still controls the Grand Prince, an economic lifeblood of the seaport city. It is not difficult to see from this that this person has real skills, and he does not rely on family power to obtain this honor.

Of course, compared to the family power, he will only be turned into slag by other nobles in seconds. But when it comes to managing the harbor city and doing business, he is definitely the number one able minister under the Great Prince.

I remember that in a private drinking party, the eldest prince also told him. A few years later, when the eldest prince succeeds to the throne, he will be given the important position of Minister of Finance of the King!

This commitment also made the young man more motivated to manage the port city for the Great Prince, bringing a steady stream of goods and gold coins to the hinterland of Sunflower.

This day seems to be no different from all other days. England was wrapped in a fur coat and patrolled the harbor.

He looked at a box of goods that was being loaded and unloaded and said, "Well, the fur in this box is of good quality, and it can be called the best grade." Wrap it up separately and I'm going to send it straight to Sunflower Castle. ”

England put down the fur goods in his hand and commanded the guards beside him.

"Yes, sir."

The guards recorded the box of furs on parchment and instructed the sailors to leave it alone.

This is the case with the baron, who spends his days wandering around the port's unloading area to see if any particularly good cargo has arrived.

He would sort these goods separately and treat them as his own gift to the eldest prince.

I have to say that his kung fu is definitely not weak in terms of sycophancy! I also know that I borrowed flowers and offered Buddha through public goods to gain favors for myself.

At that moment, a soldier suddenly hurried to his side.

The soldier whispered quickly in the baron's ear, "Lord Baron! According to the Liaowang outpost, an unidentified contingent of about a few thousand people has appeared in the northern hilly area. ”

"What?"

England frowned and asked, "Thousands?" How did they get here? The banks of the Benlei River should be our talents! Did you see what flags they were flying? ”

The soldier said with a strange expression: "Flag.... The flag appears to be painted with olive branch gray doves. ”

"What!?"

This time England was even more surprised! Olive branch and gray dove? Isn't that the Duke of the Grey Dove on the other side of the river? How could this sworn enemy, who had been fighting with his own prince for many years, suddenly appear in the hilly area!? What's going on up to the north?

He tightened his fur coat and hurriedly beckoned his soldiers to follow him back to the castle.

England called a few of his henchmen and hurriedly ordered: "Now send me a few more scouts at once!" I want to know exactly who the other person is and how many people they are. Also, get all the soldiers ready for defense, set up the horses at the fork in the harbor, and set up the bed crossbow for me! ”

"Yes! My lord. ”

"In addition.... Send someone to Sunflower Fort and Duopeng Fortress to verify the news! And then...."

England paused and continued: "Send someone to inform Blossom City!" If this force is really a gray dove, then the Sunflower Fort in the north may well have fallen .... We have to prepare for the worst! ”

"Yes!"

After making these decisions, England seems to feel that there is still something wrong. Again, he commanded: "Control all the ships in the harbor for me, and no one shall leave the harbor for the time being!" Gather the merchants together and get them all together, and I'm going to requisition them!" ”

"Yes!"

It has to be said that England's decision was very correct. Before he knew the true strength of the enemy, he had to mobilize all the resources at his disposal. After all, the personal guards of these merchants, if integrated, are also a force to be reckoned with.

If you are cooperating with the garrison soldiers in the harbor and the temporarily recruited sailors and mercenaries, it shouldn't be a problem just to defend this Bomint port, right?

England thought so, and then stood up with his own soldiers.

Let's go! Come with me and see. ”

He led the soldiers to the tower outside the harbor and raised his lookout glasses to look into the distance. I found that there was indeed a group of soldiers walking towards here at a constant speed!

The men were all dressed in black armor and armed with spears. The whole team has a clear temperament, and the queue is not chaotic at all when marching, and it is clearly a regular army with a hundred battles!

".... Can anyone tell me what exactly happened!? ”

England slammed his fist against the stone wall in front of him, and he shouted, "Let everyone! Everyone in the harbor took up arms! The other party is the main force of the gray dove, and it seems that it is very likely to be the 'Iron Mountain Spear Army'! ”

"Iron... Iron Mountain Army? ”

The soldiers around him stammered subconsciously when they heard this name, and England turned around and yelled at him, "Go and do what I arranged!" ”

"Yes.... Yes, yes! My lord! ”

The soldiers hurriedly ran down the tower, and in an instant the alarm bell in the port of Blooment was loud, and everyone put down their work and began to put on their armor and receive weapons.

The sailors, bandits, and mercenaries here have been transformed into temporary garrisons for the port.

Judging from this ability to adapt temporarily, England is worthy of being a celebrity under the Great Prince.

Although his series of reactions and arrangements are not the best, they are also considered top-notch among ordinary nobles.

Sir Papasia, who was slowly approaching the harbor, also heard the dense alarm bell. The corners of his mouth curled, he stroked his beard with his hand and smiled: "It seems that the other party has discovered our whereabouts, but so what?" To be able to stop us is the real skill. ”

Confident, he reached out and pressed the hilt of his sword on his waist, and with his legs between the belly of the horse, he ordered: "All soldiers speed up!" Regroup two hundred meters outside the port! ”

"Bang Bang Bang ~ "

The heavily armored Iron Mountain Army received the order of the adult, and they all trotted up. The armor on their bodies collided with each other, making a dull "clang" sound that made people palpitate.

Although most of the weapons used by the Iron Mountain Army were spears, they were not suitable for siege purposes. But the port of Bominte is not strictly a city.

It had neither strong and high walls, nor trenches or moats.

It's just that around this port city, there are a few watchtowers that are set up here and there for reconnaissance and lookouts.

The so-called fortifications are just ditches and ditches made of goods or stones.

These things may have some effect when used to block the charge of the cavalry, but in front of the Iron Mountain Army, it is not much different from peace.

England stood on the tower and looked at the other party's neat military appearance and extraordinarily strong murderous aura, and his legs couldn't help but turn a little.

Although it can be seen visually, the other side does not have as many defenders in its own harbor. Look at the neat heavy armor and spears. Look at the ragtag army composed of sailors, bandits, and personal guards on your side, it is simply a heaven and an underground!

If it is said that these people can fight with the wind, they may be able to play a role in following the shouts and looting. But what if it's a headwind? Their rout was also only in a moment.

England hammered the stone wall again, knowing that the task of frontal defense could only fall to the thousand defenders under his command.

"Pass the order down, let our people be at the front! The sailors and mercenaries were in charge of long-range throwing, allowing the merchants to concentrate their personal guards on both sides of the battle formation, and their frontal combat effectiveness was almost zero, so they could only be sent to harass them! ”

"Yes! My lord. ”

The soldiers came and went up and down the tower to convey England's orders, but how much his orders would be carried out.... But he can only resign himself to fate.

After all, those merchants are all playing their own petty calculations, and it is absolutely impossible for them to make their personal guards make a big effort.

And although the sailors and bandits have some combat strength, their lack of discipline is their biggest weakness!

As England just said, these people can rush to the wind, but they can fight against the wind.... They will not be afraid to die!

The 1,000 regular guards of the port of Bomint, dressed and armed with shields and swords, stood on the way to the port.

As a thousand men under England who truly possess combat power, they must take on the heavy responsibility of fighting the enemy head-on.

The sailors and mercenaries had climbed to the commanding heights of the surrounding buildings.

Some of them picked up bows and arrows, some picked up **, and many more just carried two stones in their hands.

After all, they don't even have a decent weapon .... Long-range throwing? Well, throwing stones also counts as throwing.
