[Chapter 16 Back to the City]

The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, breaking the originally silent atmosphere of the night.

If you look down from the sky, under the pale white moonlight, you can clearly see that there are two figures galloping on horses, galloping over the flat ground at an extremely fast speed.

“Aaron, how do you know that the castle is okay? If the castle is being attacked now, wouldn’t we run over and throw ourselves into the net?”

Bruce asked Aaron suspiciously as he rode his horse at a gallop.

Aaron did not answer directly, but instead asked: “Bruce, what do you think is the main purpose of Earl Bell’s rebellion against George and these people this time, and suddenly attacked us?”

Bruce was stunned for a moment, and replied subconsciously: “In order to occupy these village strongholds, it is convenient for the combined army to invade the territory of the Kingdom of Chino more quickly as the next resting stronghold of the coalition army.”

“Do not!”

Aaron shook his head and explained: “If it’s just for the village, they don’t need to use this method. They can use the army to slowly press the border, so that other soldiers on the border will notice and report the news, forcing Viscount Steve. Withdraw us, the soldiers stationed there, all of us are concentrated in the castle waiting to meet them. In this way, Earl Bell can get all the village strongholds in the Viscount Steve’s territory except the castle without any effort!”

“However, they didn’t do it because their goal was not just the village, but more importantly…”

Having said that, Aaron’s eyes began to narrow, and he said word by word: “Kill all of us alive!”

Bruce seemed to realize something, and suddenly said: “Could it be…”

Aaron nodded and affirmed: “What is the most useful power to defend against the castle? Is it those farmers who are weak and can only swing their hoes? If such people are to fight on the ground, a team of Twenty regular soldiers can kill hundreds of them!”

“So, the main force guarding the castle is us soldiers – these regular soldiers who have sufficient food every day and have been trained in breathing methods are the most important defending force!”

“Every week, Viscount Steve will send at least half of his soldiers to monitor the villages. This is the best chance for Earl Bell to eliminate these soldiers!”

“Obviously, Earl Bell’s goal is not just those villages, but to completely eat the entire territory including the castle, just like the Karas Empire wants to eat the entire Chino Kingdom raw. In this way, try to destroy us as much as possible. These living forces when defending the city in the future are the most important purpose to swallow the entire castle, and those villages have become secondary goals!”

After listening to Aaron’s reasoning, Bruce Ming realized: “That’s the case, so you would say that the castle should be fine, because Earl Bell definitely won’t have too many subordinates, and it will take a few days for the army to arrive. The way to directly break through the Viscount Castle, where the three official knights sit, including the Viscount!”

“That’s why they chose to launch the traitors stationed in the village first, cooperate with some small-scale scout troops who came across the mountains in advance, and eat the regular soldiers stationed outside!”

“That’s right~!”

Aaron nodded and said solemnly, “So we have to get back to the castle as soon as possible. If it’s too late, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to go back to the castle!”

Fortunately, the village where Aaron and the others are stationed is the closest village to the castle except for Dolong Town, which is only a dozen kilometers away. At the current speed of full speed horses, they can return to the castle in half an hour at most. .

By the light of the moonlight, Bruce looked at the slightly thin back in front of him. Although Bruce was in his early twenties and Aaron was only fifteen years old, Bruce didn’t dare to have any contempt in his heart. Swirling:

“Obviously a young man so much younger than me,

However, he has reached the level of quasi-knight. What is even more frightening is that his actions seem exaggerated, but in fact he is mature and stable-previously, he deliberately applauded his identity to intervene in the battle between us and George, but did not choose to make a sudden surprise attack. Just to relax the vigilance of George and others.

”

“If there is a surprise attack, George and the others will definitely be startled collectively, and choose to besiege me or Aaron while maintaining vigilance! However, when Aaron applauded his identity, because George saw Aaron’s appearance clearly, he recognized him. Out of this ‘trash’ identity – in this way, George will only regard Aaron as a ‘idiot’ with a burnt brain, thus reducing his vigilance, only sending two soldiers to deal with Aaron, and focusing more on Aaron In the end, I was killed by Aaron!”

“I really judged the situation and thought carefully, including his later judgment on the whole situation, and clearly deduced Earl Bell’s main purpose, the key points that even I didn’t see…”

“It’s scary, it’s so scary~!”

Bruce looked at Aaron’s slightly undulating figure on the horse’s back, and said in his heart: “This boy is young but has a deep sense of government, and his mind is as meticulous as silk. With time, he will be able to achieve great things! I will never provoke him again… …”

Aaron didn’t know what Bruce was thinking. He was riding a horse and suddenly, Bruce’s exclamation sounded – “Aaron, look over there!”

Aaron looked in the direction Bruce pointed, but saw a faint flame of fire in the far horizon on the east side, like a small town, as if it was caught in the chaos of war……

“This is… Doron Town?”

With Aaron’s calmness, Rao couldn’t help but lose his voice slightly.

“Yes, it should be Doron Town!” Bruce affirmed, this town is a place he often wants to be stationed in, and of course he is not unfamiliar.

Aaron felt cold in his heart and said solemnly, “It seems that Earl Bell’s handwriting is very big…”

Apart from seven villages of different sizes, Dolong Town is the only place in the Viscount Territory that can be called a ‘town’. The resident population alone is over 2,000, accounting for nearly half of the entire territory’s population.

In terms of number alone, there are more residents than the Viscount Castle – after all, one is just a castle, and the other is a small town.

Therefore, there are at least two battalions in Duolong Town, with a total of 60 soldiers stationed, including two battalions with at least quasi-knight-level strength – quasi-knights who are supported by dozens of soldiers, UU reading www. The strength displayed by sonicmtl.com is much higher than that of a single prospective knight, and he will not be as embarrassed as Bruce before.

To eat the entire town of Doron, at least one official knight must bring dozens of soldiers to raid together.

Bruce glanced at Aaron and asked, “Aaron, do we want to…”

“No, let’s go directly to the castle.”

Aaron said calmly: “If the two brigades can’t hold Doron Town, it’s no use for us to go there. The most important thing is to return to the castle as soon as possible.”

“Hmm~!” Bruce nodded, agreeing with Aaron’s decision without any hesitation.

In fact, both of them are well aware of this. There are two quasi-knight-level existences. Even if one of them is seriously injured, if they rush over in time, as long as the garrison in Dolong Town does not lose too much, it may not be. There would be no chance to ‘turn the table’—together with two other quasi-knight-level captains, a total of four quasi-knights would besiege, and even a full-fledged knight might not have the chance to retreat!

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to kill, after all, the gap between the official knight and the quasi knight is too big, and even if the official knight can be forced back, Aaron and others will definitely pay a heavy price, even Give your life away.

So Aaron and Bruce wisely chose to ignore it and retreated to the castle first. As for the specific life and death of the garrison in Doron Town——

What does it have to do with yourself?

Soon, the two rushed back to the Viscount Castle in the dark,

Looking at the tall and majestic Viscount Castle in front of him, Aaron breathed a sigh of relief——

“Finally home.”
