Although untrained farmers are very weak, they still have the courage to rely on the city wall and throw stones down.
In addition, it can also replace soldiers to watch at night and let soldiers take turns to rest.
Viscount Garcia can estimate that once the stalemate continues, his army must be exhausted in the end. If the casualties are heavy, and the opponent goes out of the city to pursue them, even if the entire army may be wiped out!
"Immediately retreat to Eagle Fort. As long as Death Canyon is still in our hands, we can continue to receive support from the high ground!"
He immediately made a decision, and glanced at Sir Smith, who was still complaining, with a cold look in his eyes.
The opponent is a cavalry soldier, so naturally he doesn't care about the life and death of his own infantry, but he is responsible for the knights and soldiers who follow him, and he doesn't have enough power, how can he fight for the rights and interests of the family in the future
"This is my order, as the commander-in-chief's order!"
Garcia said in a cold voice, already murderous.
If the other party is still stubborn, I will use the authority of the coach to hang him to death!
Even if he came out to set up another branch, he was still a direct member of the powerful Wellington family!
"Okay! You are the commander..."
Smith obviously noticed that something was wrong around him, especially those knights under Garcia's command had already grasped the hilts of their swords.
He wisely backed down and left, mumbling and cursing.
Woohoo!
The low horn sounded, and the army retreated slowly.
Garcia walked at the end, and when he heard the cheers from the city wall, his expression was a little dazed: "Baron William...will he be my worst enemy?"
…
With the withdrawal of Viscount Garcia, the haze that the red lions brought to the Fengying Plain with their sharp claws and fangs seemed to gradually dissipate a little.
At the same time, the stories about Baron William's unparalleled bravery, regaining Wind Howl City, and defeating Garcia quickly spread throughout the Windying Plain.
I don't know how many bards in the taverns and at the crossroads, singing the praises of Lord Carlos's bravery, and the former martial arts competition, the name of the invincible swordsman in civilian clothes is even more talked about.
I don't know how long it took, following the call of Baron William's envoy and Madam Emariss, the surviving blue-blooded nobles gathered in Wind Howling City in the entire Fengying Plain.
"Has the era of tigers passed?"
Viscount Bale led an army of one thousand people, and slowly drove past the gate of Whistle City.
Seeing that the old blue tiger banner was torn off and replaced with a brand new sword and shield family crest, a look of emotion appeared on his face.
And the newly added traces of sword slashing and gunpowder explosion on the city wall made his pupils shrink even more, and he couldn't help but stop for a long time, watching the huge wooden cannons on the city wall.
It is rumored that Baron William has received the gift of God and has the ability to make holy fire. It is hidden in wood, and when it is fired, it can make the world tremble!
This was the church's rhetoric, but Viscount Baron scoffed at it, and believed even more that the baron had concocted some powerful weapon and entrusted it to God.
But, no matter how you say it, that kind of powerful power is common to all the scouts, and you can tell from the anxious faces of other little nobles.
They only have an army of less than a few hundred people, and perhaps they will collapse if they are hit by a few torches!
'This must be the product of a deal with the devil! '
Viscount Bale thought bitterly in his heart, but couldn't help being extremely jealous.
'Presumably at this time, many blue bloods have secretly sworn allegiance to that person, right? '
Thinking of what Wu Ming's envoy said, Viscount Bale couldn't help feeling restless.
"I will marry the daughter of the Earl of Blue Mountain, and judge the Viscount Eagle Castle in Howling Castle. All the blue bloods of the Windfly Plain must gather under my banner and drive the Wellington family from the Windfly Plain." go out! '
At a time when the blue-bloods have lost their leaders and are anxious, it is simply the general trend for a strong leader to appear in the image of a savior!
Although the strength of the blue-blooded nobles has been greatly reduced, once they are united, they will be a huge force once they unite.
Not to mention, at this time, Baron William not only possessed the Earl's Howling Castle, but also had an army of more than 5,000!
Such strength, even if the Earl of Blue Mountain is still there, it is a bit difficult to compete.
Although Viscount Barle also brought a thousand people here, after seeing this scene, he couldn't help feeling a deep chill in his heart.
"Viscount Barle! Welcome!"
After entering Whistling City, Tana greeted her with a smile on her face: "We have prepared enough tents and dry food for a thousand people, let me take you to the camp, please stay outside the city, the baron has already A banquet has been arranged in Wind Howling Castle, looking forward to the visit of the Viscount!"
Viscount Baler was noncommittal, looking around with a look of scrutiny on his face.
The street has been cleared in advance, but some people can still be seen in the surrounding houses, and even the shops are still half open.
Such a security environment is quite good.
Viscount Balor nodded silently in his heart, but was even more surprised when he saw the barracks.
The entire Whistling City has already set aside an area specially for them. Many areas are clearly divided, and the banners of the nobles are hung. They can move in as soon as they arrive.
Soldiers were already living in several camps at this time, and they looked ruddy, and their clothes were very neat, and there was no stench of cow and horse manure. Lots of groom care.
Buckets of oatmeal bread, rum, and even several baskets of fresh vegetables and fruits were carried by the citizens and sent into the military camp. There was a busy scene everywhere.
'My God... How did Baron William do it, he seems to have the support of the whole city! '
A low voice sounded from behind Viscount Baler.
It was a young nobleman with a handsome face and blue hair: "Even the Earl of Lanshan, it is quite difficult to do this!"
The Earl of Blue Mountain is only the ruler of Wuthering City in the daytime, and he has not touched the darkness, but Wu Ming is different! After conquering Emaris, he has obtained the effectiveness of the merchants in the entire black market and the support of the church. In terms of mobilizing resources and manpower, he is almost twice as much as the previous count!
Only by mastering darkness, light, and faith can he have the confidence to say that he has mastered the entire Howling Castle!
The meaning of this is really not trivial.
"Uncle Balak, what shall we do?"
Seeing Lord Tana's vigorous figure setting up the barracks, the young nobleman's lips moved: "Would a freeman be allowed to climb on top of us? He is not blue blood after all!"
"Charles, you have a point!"
Viscount Barle nodded: "For us blue bloods, the Wellington family from the highlands are outsiders, and this William is also an outsider! It's just that he is very scary, he can use the dragon heart!"
This magical weapon is quite famous, and it is proof that William has the blood of conquerors flowing in him.
"But... witches and mages also have ways to break through the above restrictions!"
Charles said unconvinced.
After all, he was about the same age as William, but he was only a young knight at this time. Seeing that the other party had achieved such great achievements and was about to achieve greater glory, jealousy and secret hatred were inevitable.
"That's right, so I have sent someone to spread rumors, questioning William's bloodline!"
Viscount Barle's eyes were dark, and he lowered his voice: "It's just that he is still planning to marry Ada. If he becomes the son-in-law of the Earl of Blue Mountain, it will be quite disadvantageous to us!"
"I need you to find a few people, Baron Elf, Sir Tom, and Adams..."
These people, also the sons-in-law of the earl, could theoretically cause trouble for William.
"Wind Ying Plain has always belonged to the orthodox blue blood, a partial branch, just want to gain the dominance?" '
Viscount Barle looked in the direction of Howling Castle, his eyes were dark...
…
At night, a grand banquet was held in Howling Castle.
No matter how much they wanted you to die in their hearts, the blue bloods at this time were still handsome on the surface. They put on the best evening gowns and greeted each other politely.
Ladies and ladies wore gorgeous dresses, flying around the ball like butterflies, flirting with a few young nobles out of their wits.
Wu Ming even chatted happily with Viscount Baler, swam with their arms together, and exchanged their experiences on hunting and raising hounds.
"Everyone!"
As the titular owner of Howling Castle, Madam Emaris also made an appearance.
Today she is wearing a black dress, without much makeup, her face is solemn and meticulous.
As a widow, it suited her just fine.
Emaris picked up the wine glass with a silver spoon, attracting everyone's attention.
"In the previous war, we met an unfortunate fate. My husband died in battle, and so did my son. Even the castle where I lived was occupied..."
Her voice was low, full of dignity, and she was very good at mobilizing emotions. The sadness in her words was strong enough to make people cry.
This is a woman who is good at acting, no matter when it is!
"Fortunately, there is William! He bravely defeated the enemy and won honor and victory for us!"
Amaris raised her glass: "Let's cheer for him!"
"William! William!"
Baron Terry and Baron Wilfer, as well as several minor nobles who had secretly taken refuge in Wu Ming, immediately applauded and cheered loudly.
Seeing this scene, the smile on Viscount Baler's face was a bit forced, but he still toasted Wu Ming in a gracious manner.
"I have another announcement to make!"
At the moment when the atmosphere was the strongest, Madam Emerys blushed and said loudly: "I will follow my husband's last wish, marry my daughter Ada to Baron William, and ask him to be the guardian of Howling Castle! "
As soon as these words were uttered, Viscount Baller's expression turned extremely ugly.
