The next day, early morning.
Kane, who hadn't slept all night, stood in the study, looking at the rising sun outside the window.
Last night can be said to be the most difficult night for Eagle Fort since it was besieged.
Not only is there a large shortage of troops on patrol, but there is also a serious shortage of meals and servants.
This also leads to a big problem, too few people are too busy.
For example, Kane ordered the only chef who woke up last night, Charlie to cook a meal for everyone.
Although there are four or five servants to help, there are very limited things that the inexperienced servants can help.
In the end, it wasn't until the past four or five hours that the chef had finished cooking.
At the same time, the crowd who keeps waking up has become one of the big problems. Why
The first is that the time when they wake up is very random, and in the subsequent hours close to the night, someone will wake up almost every second.
This put great pressure on the two guarding soldiers, and because the rest of the sober soldiers were patrolling the city wall.
There was basically no one to hand over to them, and as for the servants in the castle, they were busy with the tasks arranged by steward Jess.
So, these two poor soldiers kept watch until early this morning, before Catherine arranged for other soldiers to come over to them.
Secondly, in terms of meals, these people who have just woken up will go to the restaurant on the first floor to have meals under the lead of the servants.
This is hard for Chef Charlie. As the only sober chef, he hasn't come out of the kitchen since the evening.
Until now, he was still cooking meals inside, but fortunately, a chef named Podek joined in in the middle of the night, which relieved his pressure.
What disturbed Kane the most was the inspection of the city wall. After adding the two soldiers in the living room last night, only about twenty soldiers woke up from the coma.
This amount of troops is simply not enough to patrol the entire city wall, even with the help of water elements.
So from last night, Kane was either worried about the sneak attack by the Manvila army at any time, or worried about the arrangement of the people who woke up.
Not only did he have no time to sleep, but there was nothing he could do even for cultivation.
Fortunately, with the passage of time, until this morning, all the comatose people in the castle have basically woken up.
As for the remaining ones who are still in a coma, the housekeeper Jess has arranged for the doctor Lim's medical room. Presumably, under the treatment of the other party, they will wake up in a short time.
When the morning sun in front of him was finished hanging in the sky, mage Adelin also brought a message.
According to her piercing water elemental, Asklin reported that it seemed that the Manvila army on the opposite side had started a new move.
Perhaps the siege battle had dragged on for too long. Their lord, the Duke of Manvila, had become impatient, and the opponent could only bite the bullet and continue to attack.
Or maybe they got new siege weapons from the rear.
All in all, Kane needs to wait for someone to come to the city wall again.
Without further ado, Adeline and Kane came to the city wall immediately, and Catherine, Marcus, and Sitz who heard the news also came to the top.
"grown ups."
"Lord Adeline."
The three saluted and greeted the two of them.
"What's going on now?" Kane asked.
Catherine replied: "At present, the opponent is still in the whole team."
"Very well, keep an eye on them."
"Yes, my lord."
After checking the situation, Kane turned to look at Adeline again.
The other party is having a spiritual conversation with her water element.
After a while, Adeline nodded after getting the basic information, and said to Kane.
"According to Ascorin's investigation, since last night, there have been reinforcements of nearly a hundred people in the base camp behind the opponent. It seems to be to make up for the number of soldiers killed by spells yesterday."
"Also, they seem to be passing on an item, which is basically their new siege weapon."
Kane looked serious, looked at the opposing army and said, "Your Excellency, are you sure?"
This time, even Adeline didn't dare to jump to conclusions, but said cautiously: "Before the other party uses it, I'm not sure whether it can break through the shield, but I will try my best to block it."
With the conversation between the two, the opposite army came to the position close to Eagle Fort again.
Surprisingly, they didn't attack first, but ordered the mage to give the opponent's commander a loudspeaker spell.
"Baron Riggett!" shouted the opposing commander.
"Now, the dynasty of the old era has long been shattered, and a new kingdom is about to emerge. Why don't you join us?"
Kane couldn't help laughing at the other party's illogical words, no, it made everyone present laugh.
Kane didn't resort to spells, and directly taunted loudly: "Joke, you don't think that after the Kingdom of Dylan was divided by the dark elves, I, Kane, would have to join Manvila's men? Also, did I hear you right? How dare you call yourself an emerging kingdom? Don’t be ridiculous, you are traitors to your ancestors just because of the fact that you have taken refuge in a foreign race.”
Seeing that the persuasion was unsuccessful, he was ridiculed by the opponent instead. The commander of the opponent stopped talking, but sighed, and said in a low voice: "You forced me, it's a pity that this castle is lost."
He turned to the deputy beside him and said, "Action!"
"Understood!" The deputy turned and passed instructions to the other person.
The final order was passed on to a very strong Transcendent, and he took off his shirt, revealing his bare upper body.
Immediately, he took out a dagger from behind, and in order to be safe, the transcendent asked the person in front: "You must abide by the conditions you promised me earlier."
The middle-aged man who looked like a military officer in front nodded and said: "Naturally, we, the Principality of Manvila, promise to do what we say. Don't worry, your wife and children will get a lot of money and the highest treatment from us."
"Very good." The strong man said in a low voice.
There was a will to die in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, and stabbed the dagger into his chest cruelly.
This is not over yet, the strong man endured the extreme pain, pulled out the dagger, and blood overflowed immediately, before the strength was completely lost, he pulled the wound open, revealing that there was no injury inside, and it was still beating. heart.
The strong right hand of the strong man penetrated into it, grasped the heart tightly, and pulled it out.
"quick!"
He said a little weakly.
The middle-aged man who watched the entire performance on the opposite side immediately understood, and took out a retro scroll from nowhere.
The middle-aged man carefully placed it on the strong man's heart, and a miraculous scene appeared. The scroll actually completely absorbed the still beating heart, and disappeared after emitting a dazzling red light.
The strong man who was on the verge of death asked in a low voice: "Successful?"
The middle-aged man looked at the large number of red lights that appeared above Eagle Fort and said, "It succeeded."
