Chapter 67: The enemy attacks

Views:

"Uh..." Grot was a little stunned. Richard's words were very straightforward, and they were so straightforward that he felt a little uncomfortable. But he knew that what Richard said was true. There is no free lunch in the world, why should someone pay you for no reason? Unless you pay something of equal value.

In fact, this is already a relatively good result. After all, he was now at a disadvantage. Richard did not choose the lion's opportunity to ask for a high price, but still chose a relatively fair deal. Of course, even so, the variety and quantity of materials on the scroll are not small.

This is really a deal.

Gro thought, and then realized that there was not much choice, because the current situation was either poverty or death.

The nobles on the side didn't think so, and they all felt a little angry. In their opinion, Richard, the wizard, has gained the friendship of a noble prince, isn't that enough? By then, won’t you get whatever you want? Now, don’t you think it’s a bit short-sighted to ask for benefits from such a philistine

Richard said that the so-called friendship between princes is really not that important. After all, he used to be a prince. In fact, if he thought about it, he might be a king. Rather than illusory things, he wants some actual material, because his goal in the current world is not to make friends with anyone or establish a relationship with any "big shot", but to... analyze the world.

Many nobles wanted to persuade Gro to reject Richard, and at worst, they would fight to the death. If it doesn't work, I have to "bargain" with Richard. Anyway, I can't make Richard too comfortable.

As a prince, Gro still had some plans of his own. Finally, he took a deep breath and looked at Richard and said: "Your Excellency Richard, I agree to all your conditions and agree to all your arrangements, as long as you can help us get out of trouble. "

"Well, happy transaction."

"Well, happy transaction."

Afterwards, the camp was quickly set up under Richard's instructions.

According to Richard, the most advantageous defense must be established before the encircling army arrives.

But the defense that was finally built felt very problematic in the eyes of many nobles.

According to Richard's arrangement, the entire camp turned into a "mouth" shape.

Ditches were dug on three sides, and a large number of horse traps were dug on the outside to hinder the enemy's attack. Then the lighting torches were extinguished, making it dark like a ghost land.

Only at the front of the camp were the torches lit, and the light they illuminated was transparent. And no ditches, horse pits or other traps were set up. Instead, a wide and flat road was left, as if to tell the enemy that it was best to attack from here. If you attack from here, you can rush into the camp and end the battle with a single charge.

To be honest, after seeing Richard's arrangement, if it weren't for Gro's majesty, all the nobles would jump up and refute Richard in person. Because Richard's arrangement was simply like the work of a traitor, and it was simply worse than no arrangement at all.

But Richard didn't explain anything. After carrying out the arrangement, he asked people to find a large number of arrows in the camp, spread them flat on the ground in a tent, and squinted carefully to select them. Finally, we found arrows with good quality and similar specifications one after another. He took out a small knife from his pocket, gently cut the arrow shafts, and trimmed the specifications of all the arrows to be exactly the same.

One stick, two sticks, three sticks...

When Richard made the thirty-third arrow, he raised his head and looked outside the camp, sensing something.

Get up and walk out.

Outside, Gro, the nobles, and soldiers were already gathering nervously.

Late night comes.

The night is like a shy girl, and the darkness is like the tulle she wears. Looking out from the camp, with the help of the firelight, you can see the blurry shadows in the forest. They are trees and dead grass, and they are the decorative patterns on the night girl's gauze. But if you want to see more clearly, it is a little difficult to see the smooth body of the night girl through the dark gauze. After all... the night is shy.

The night continued to grow shy, but the tension and vigilance in the hearts of everyone in the camp continued to increase.

The sound of horse hooves, footsteps, and numerous noises were coming from far away in the forest, and then getting closer and closer.

Finally, in the eyes of everyone, the enemy's figure appeared.

At first, it was blurry and shadowy. Everyone tried to open their eyes wide, but they couldn't see clearly. The other party is like a black ant crawling on the body of the night girl, hiding under the gauze, disappearing and appearing, making people secretly grit their teeth in hatred.

Finally, the black ants crawled out of the gauze, figures broke through the darkness, and a large group of people appeared in front of the camp. Some people also tried to approach from the other three directions, but with screams, they either tripped over the horse pit or fell into the ravine. In the end, except for a small group of people who were around to prevent people in the camp from breaking out, most of them Some people gathered in front of the camp. After all, no one wants to leave a vast continent and go to a place full of traps.

In the end, more than 300 troops appeared in front of the camp, most of them cavalry. If the people staying in the other three directions were included, the number of enemies was likely to exceed 400.

Everyone's hearts were heavy and their heartstrings were tense.

In the almost solid air and the depressing atmosphere, the nobles looked at Gro, who turned to look at Richard.

But Richard shook his head and gave Gro a look that said, "It's not yet time yet."

Gro was stunned and didn't know how to deal with it, but he had reached this point and had no choice. He took a deep breath and stood up and looked at the enemy.

He forced himself to calm down, spoke in an extremely powerful tone, and yelled: "Who are you? Do you know that you are facing His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Emerald Kingdom and the future Grand Duke? Your behavior has constituted rebellion. Yes, you know

I don't care who you were bewitched by, if you disappear from my eyes immediately, I will treat you as if I have never seen you. Otherwise, half of you will be sent to the gallows, and the other side will be sent to the stake! "

"Ha!" A sneer came from the enemy's team. A rider wearing black armor and pulling down his face shield walked out of the team outside the camp. He said in a solemn voice: "I brought people here, but I don't know what kind of prince there is. I don't know if there are any nobles or other people from the kingdom. I only know that there is a group of thieves who are entrenched here and have led the country.

The order I received was to exterminate the thieves. Maybe I will be sent to the gallows or burned at the stake in the future, but that is all in the future. And now, what I want to do is to suppress, destroy, thieves and thieves! "

At the end of the sentence, the black-armored rider almost screamed, not sure because of excitement, but to hide his fear.

The black-armored rider didn't hesitate. He drew his sword in his hand with a "clang" sound, swung it towards the camp, and issued an order: "Everyone is here! Attack!"
